*"Ufa, the great German film company, produced this 1928 documentary about World War I that pulled no punches and was very nonpolitical. Told from a totally impartial point of view, it remains one of the most objective films to date on World War I and and features a synchronized musical score and sound effects. It includes footage of General Von Hindenburg, Kaiser von Wilhelm II, and Admiral Holtzendorff and only a handful of real actors were used to bridge the pieces of actual footage together."
