The propaganda units in the field sent on the material they collected
as quickly as possible to the OKW Propaganda Department in Berlin.
There the incoming material was sifted and censored and then passed on
to the Propaganda Ministry for dissemination in the press, radio,
weekly cinema newsreels, films, books, etc. Film footage was forwarded
directly to the ministry so that it could be incorporated into the
weekly newsreels shown in movie theaters. The Germans were well aware
of the topical importance of the news and did their utmost to dispatch
the materials as quickly as possible.
The Propaganda Department even had two cargo planes at its disposal;
on constant alert, they stood ready to fly to the front, pick up
material, and speed it back directly to Berlin.
