The film hasn't touched Aussie soil yet, still in Germany. Let's hope the snail mail is faster than usually...

Well done, really interested to see this film!

Where did it come from and how did it end up in Germany?

I'm with you Hanno. The story behind it's survival in Germany could be as interesting as the movie itself.

Well done all.

I've got my money ready for my copy.

Default History

I was thinking we could make up an elaborate story about how it was being carried in a FGT which was captured by the Germans, with the film being rushed to Hitler's bunker, where once he viewed it he realised for him the war was lost.
