German Invasion of Belgium and the Netherlands- Ufa Sound Week No. 506- 15 May 1940 [Full HD]
The Ufa (Universum Film AG) was a German movie and TV company, founded in December 1917. It was founded by several companies, with the German goverment secretly involved; and its initial goal was to produce pro-German propaganda movies that would be shown outside of Germany.
After the end of WWI, however, the focus shifted on producing movies for Germany for commercial profit.
In 1927, Ufa had financial difficulties and was facing bankruptcy, the company was bough by right-wing media mogul Alfred Hugenberg, who continued production as normal, but also Newsreels of the Ufa to advertise his own party and later the Nazi party.
After the Nazis rose to power, Ufa, like all other movie companies, came under strict goverment control, and in March 1937, Hugenberg had to sell the majority of his stakes in Ufa to a goverment-controlled company; the Ufa thus came under direct goverment control.
The Ufa Week was produced from September 1925 onwards, initially as silent newsreel, from September 1930 onwards with sound, hence the name was changed to “Ufa Sound Week“.
Like all newsreels in Nazi Germany, it was not a neutral news source, but rather full of Nazi propaganda. After the outbreak of WWII, the content that all newsreels produced was unified, and in mid-1940, all newsreels were unified to “The German Newsweek.“
This is Ufa Sound Week No. 506 from May 15th, 1940.
It focuses on the German invasion of the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg, showing footage of advancing German infantry, tanks and planes. It shows how the local population welcomes the German soldiers, and also some combat footage. Another section deals with the Bombing of Freiburg, which was done erroneously by German bombers, but was portrayed as being done by enemy planes.
