Blitz on Hamburg

This documentary has a strangely archaic feel to it, as though it was made sometime between the 1940s and 1970s. The key difference being that most of the interviewees that were available were children during the events described. Not that it makes their testimonies less moving; quite the contrary. The use of dubbing instead of subtitles for the German interviews is disappointing, though.

There is plenty of dramatic archive footage and the film is very worthy. For anyone with an interest in Hamburg, such as a tourist and business visitor like me, it is definitely worth a look.
