Fun Stuff

Trivia:
When PKL on behalf of Xerox bought the book it was determined that the program had to be at least 3 to 6 hours in length. No other TV program ever ran in 3 consecutive nights. The networks refused to allow Xerox and PKL to buy time in this kind of block. They didn't want to disturb their normal schedule. So PKL decided to syndicate the program on 3 consecutive nights, buying 110 stations through-out the USA and Puerto Rico in the same time periods and giving each station 16MM composite prints, thus creating the "first mini-series"in TV. ALSO, in those days all dubbing in the Spanish language came out of Mexico. Since Puerto Rico was an important market for Xerox, PKL decided to do all dubbing in Puerto Rico. The show in Puerto Rico ran in Spanish, and PKL bought English Speaking FM radio, and simultaneously ran the mini series in Englsh via the FM radio station. As an aside - the cost of doing this came in far less expensive than buying the 3 nights of time from the 3 major networks (ABC/CBS/NBC). more

The best single documentry on the third reich ever made!, 24 July 2002

Author: Peter Guzzo (psguzzo@hotmail.com) from Florida USA

William Shire really out did himself by putting together all the footage he acquired to make this film. It gives you the feeling of actually being shot at and the awful feeling of being stared at and being spied on by the Gestapo. To this day it gives me the chills and makes me look around the block and who is behind me. This would be almost funny if it had not really happened. And anyone that tries to tell you it didn't happen well this will change their minds if they have any. I find the historical value of this movie right up there with the best.
