Kodak Ad 1943 Kodak Archive - DDTJRAC An early rare-element aerial lens by Kodak. I think the glass was radioactive, but not sure. Were there any cine' lenses made with radioactive glass? I was going to post it in Off-Topic, but have not been able to post or view that section for a few days now. <><><><> Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Archival Collection Daniel D.

I was watching the movie Downfall (2004) about Hitler's last days in his bunker. It is an outstanding movie on the subject. They had some German 'tank killer' kids using panzerfaust anti-tank weapons to take out Russian tanks. I had never heard of them, so I looked them up. Whenever I want to learn about a thing, I study it in pictures. I'm not much of a reader. I will do a little reading after I see the photos, but generally I like the photos. The amount of armor the panzerfaust penetrates is amazing. The cone shape design concentrated the explosive charge. The panzerfaust was the model for all future RPG's. Panzefaust means 'armor fist' or 'tank fist.' Here are 111 pages of them if you have an interest... A Survey of Panzerfaust German Anti-Tank Weapons D. D. Teoli Jr. A. C. : D. D. Teoli Jr. A.

One of the highest priced 8mm home movies ever sold on eBay. Even surpasses all the 16mm record home movies I've seen sell on eBay, which range in the $1400 - $1600 per 400 foot or less size reel. The seller has some of the best films on eBay. But most are unaffordable unless you got deep pockets. What is more amazing is this film is 8mm, which usually brings very little. 8mm is generally just too low quality to do much with, unless it is of the highest historical importance, and you have no other choice. <><><><> Daniel D.

Leni Riefenstahl was quite a gal. Talented in many areas as well as sports. She was a pig part of Hitler's propaganda movie machine. I have a couple of 16mm reels that I believe were part of her films. But I don't know which films they were from. Haven't dug that deep yet, they are still in storage. In this clip from 'Triumph des Willens' aka 'Triumph of the Will' 1935 by Leni Riefenstahl, Hitler arrives by plane to a triumphant greeting from the people of Germany. Hitler Arrives in Nuremberg 1934 Leni Riefenstahl : D.D.Teoli Jr. A.C. : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive When you look around Nuremberg, think back how 95% of it was destroyed a few years later in WW2. Also notice some of the unique camera angles, the use of the plane shadow and close ups of people's faces that Riefenstahl used. I will cut up some more clips from the film when I get time.

DDTJRAC Advertising Archive Here is an ad from Woman's Day Magazine in 1946. Even after WWII ended, they were still rationing food. I like this type of material for the Archive. It covers two areas for the price on one...it fits the Advertising Collection and the WWII Rationing Collection. WWII rationing is a fascinating area to study. It was hard to piece the puzzle back together as a lot of the people in the know are dead and no one to ask. So many things were unavailable back then. Let's say you were a writer. If you wanted a typewriter you got on a list for one, you couldn't just go out and buy one. Typewriter companies retooled to build war equipment. The gov even asked for used typewriters to be donated to the war effort. Really, it was pretty complex learning the rationing rules. And the rules constantly changed. They also had ration token for making change for coupons. These tokens belonged to Sylvia Schneider from NYC. They were in a little purse she had that I acquired off eBay. After she died, the pickers got ahold of it for recycling. GD...the pickers will sell anything! Even dirty, empty bottles of old lens cleaning fluid! The troublesome area of the puzzle to put together was to find out what the tanks, planes, artillery and ship coupons were used for. Eventually I found out the answer to my puzzle. They announced what these stamps would be used for in the newspaper or on the radio for various short term uses. I have a press photo of one of the weekly announcements, but have not got it scanned as yet. It is buried in the storage locker for now. <><><><> Memes Archive Part of the Daniel D.

We continue to restore the old movie cameras of the Second World War and shoot videos reminiscent of newsreels of the 1940s on them. We use the American Bell & Howell Eyemo cameras and the German hand crank camera Askania 1930s. We shoot 35 mm black-and-white Russian film Tasma and German AFFA aerial photograph. Soon we will repair the Arriflex 35 camera of the Third Reich and remove its historical reconstruction WWII. Watch our "military" video review

"The Captain" - 2017 (German: Der Hauptmann) Directed by Robert Schwentke. Shot by Florian Ballhaus, son of Michael Ballhaus. ... Great (end of) war movie. Tense, ironic, a lot of WTF's... (pardon my language) Even based on a real story! :) ... "SCHNELL-GERICHT HEROLD" = "QUICK-JUSTICE HEROLD" ? - You'll get it when you watch it. And keep watching it while the credits roll :)
