Gestapo la police de la terreur/Gestapo the Terror Police (2021)

Documentary

Hermann Göring's creation of 1933, the Gestapo, Geheime Staatspolizei, the secret state police charged with identifying individuals considered undesirable, was a redoubtable weapon in the hands of the Nazi power: a veritable device for terror. On 20 April 1934, oversight of the Gestapo passed to the head of the Schutzstaffel (SS), Heinrich Himmler, who was also appointed Chief of German Police by Hitler in 1936.

In 2013 this then never seen footage was shown in a French documentary called “La Naissance de Charlot” also known as “The Birth of the Tramp”.

This scene very similar to one in his never released short film “How to Make Movies”, shot when he went over to First National in 1918.

The Red Baron, WWI. Soldiers examine what remains of Manfred von Richthofen's aircraft after he was shot down, and killed over Vaux-sur-Somme, France, just days before his 26th birthday, but by then already an aviation legend.

hello there! can i ask where you found the movie la creature du secret? I can't find it on Amazon or ebay and would love to get a copy!

Hello! What a thrill you are the first to ask me on my blog! 😊💖

Regarding your question, the documentary was available on Dailymotion in 2020 but now it is not available on the platform due to Copyright and I just wanted to download it but I only took screenshots of rare and personal photos of Claudia that were shown in the documentary ( I will publish it soon 😊).

Although if you want to see the trailer it is available on Vimeo:

And if you want to see it in full there is the option to rent or buy the movie:

Citizens of the frev community, I have found perhaps the best documentary on the French Revolution that we have right now. It is by no means perfect, but it is the most accurate one I've seen. Also it's filmed in the style of The Office and it's free to watch on YouTube. Here is the link to the version with french audio and english subtitles (there is also a version with english audio is the description):

Afrique 50 (1950, documentary, 17mn)

The first French anti-colonialist film, the film derived from an assignment in which the director was to cover educational activities by the French League of Schooling in West Africa (in modern Mali and Ivory Coast).

The director, René Vautier, later filmed what he saw, a "lack of teachers and doctors, the crimes committed by the French Army in the name of France, the instrumentalization of the colonized peoples".

For his role in the film Vautier was imprisoned over several months. The film was not permitted to be shown for more than 40 years. (x)

In France the film is currently available for free for a week on tënk here. Elsewhere you can find it here, with English subtitles.
