Die Deutsche Wochenschau (literally translates to "The German Weekly Review"), the 1940s German World War II (WWII) newsreel series. The coordinated newsreel production was set up as a vital instrument for the mass distribution of Nazi propaganda. Today the preserved Wochenschau short films make up a significant part of the audiovisual records of the Nazi era. Die Deutsche Wochenschau received film stock from special Wehrmacht war reporting units. The material was a source of footage for late Nazi propaganda films such as The Eternal Jew and The Campaign in Poland, as well as innumerable post-war documentaries. Among the many notable scenes preserved by the newsreel are the Nazi point of view during the Battle of Normandy, the footage of Hitler and Mussolini right after the July 20th plot, and the last footage of Hitler awarding the Iron Cross to Hitler Youth volunteers in the garden of the Reich Chancellery shortly before the Battle of Berlin. In the 1930s, there were four different newsreels from four different studios, but in 1933, the UFA one was given to the Nazi party, and then in 1940, the four (UFA Tonwoche, Tobis-Wochenschau, Deulig-Wochenschau, and Twentieth Century Fox) were consolidated into this Die Deutsche Wochenschau newsreel series.
