    British WW2 Newsreels

    I subscribe to the following channel on YouTube showing a lot of Deutsche Wochenshau

    http://www.youtube.com/user/WW2GermanNewsreels

    Does any one have any links to something similar for British or US newreels of the time? I am a bit stuck as to what to search for as ww2 newsreels gives a lot of hits but not what am I'm after?

    Thanks

    British WW2 Newsreels

    Hi,
    It seems a weird state of affairs that "Wochenschau" newsreels are readily available whilst "Pathe News" etc; are not.
    There is a Pathe website on the net, which is very good but commercially available DVD (In the UK at least) are compilations based on the year of publication (i..e. British Pathe 1942 - A Year To Remember) which are highlights for a nostalgia audience.
    It would be good if someone would produce full year runs of these newsreels (Like the Wochenschau series) for consumer viewing, as I am sure they would be of interest to many people in the UK and in the military collectors field also.
    Perhaps interest in WW2 is also a waning commercial proposition also?
    Who knows;

    Best wishes,

    John.
