On this timetravel we witness Nazi Germanys Invasion of Western Europe through the eyes of a german solder filming with his 8mm camera in color. German troops overran Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and France in six weeks starting in May 1940. France signed an armistice in late June 1940, leaving Great Britain as the only country fighting Nazi Germany. Germany and collaborating authorities soon initiated anti-Jewish policies and laws in occupied western Europe.
