Fritz Posted December 21, 2016 Author Share Posted December 21, 2016 Christmas 1943 and 1940 broadcast is rather interesting (unfortunately deleted) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Andrew Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I always find the Stalingrad message very poignant in that film, with the radio announcer trying to sound positive, you can't imagine what they were going through. RIP Walter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz Posted October 23, 2018 Author Share Posted October 23, 2018 The 1940 Christmas video has unfortunately been deactivated by youtube, apparently someone has taken offence, now not available in your Landes-Domain (Germany), perhaps this can still be viewed in the UK. I find it regrettable that after so many years, there are still people who want to blot out these cherished old memories. R.I.P. Walter and all the others. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
