Krieg in der Arktis a new documentary

[Simon O.]

A new German documentary on the war in the far North is being broadcast on German TV and will eventually come out on DVD.

The DVD will include a lot of photos and various other extras and i think will be well worth getting, especially for fans of the Gebirgstruppe


I was fortunate enough to be involved in the making of the film last year when i acted as guide for the film crew for a day during their trip to Scandinavia.

I'm showing it this evening on Arte.
That's a real well made document.

Simon -

Is that you behind the camera, or are you the guy in the camo jacket and the slouch hat?

[Simon O.]

Slouch hat and my old army stuff that i still wear out in the boonies.

This will be something to look forward to on DVD!

Yeah, I still wore bits and pieces of mine for years after I left the service. It sure looks cold up there. There's no swimming in those waters, that's for sure!

"Krieg in der Arktis" is now available on DVD incl some nice bonus material: three extra interviews and a great slide show with unpublished photos from the Arctic, some in real colour.

So far its available only in German - but if you are really interested in WWII in the Arctic and don´t speak German, well - I think you will still want to have this documentary.

I dont sell it and dont earn anything from sales (although I was a consultant for the production). But here´s a site that has it: www.ardvideo.de/index.php?sid=55&ai=D76037&b=0

Note that some the text about 1941 in the sales blurb is incorrect. In the film this mistake is not present. It was someone at the sales department mixing things up.

Cheers,

Lars
