Die Frontschau

Die Frontschau (German, literally "The Front Show") refers to a military publication produced and distributed by the German Wehrmacht during World War II. Specifically, it was a newsreel shown to soldiers at the front lines to boost morale and provide propaganda. These newsreels presented a carefully curated view of the war, emphasizing German victories and downplaying or omitting defeats and hardships. They were designed to maintain the fighting spirit of the troops and reinforce their belief in the Nazi regime's ideology and ultimate triumph. The content typically included reports of successful military operations, depictions of enemy weaknesses, and patriotic speeches.
