Hi,

Does anyone have recommendations for information on what life was like in Germany for civilians in '41?

Cheers,
Cameron

In 1944, a documentary narrated by William Shirer was made about what life was like for German civilian industrial workers.

Also recommended is the German weekly newsreel "Die Deutsche Wochenschau" which often had a segment at the start about German civilian life, and later on news from the battlefronts. #564 was the first newsreel released after the start of Barbarossa.

You can also see what German civilians were shown in 1941 about what life was like for Soviet civilians in the "Soviet Paradise" documentary:

Hello, thx for trying to help me
My solution: I visit the side over a proxy service: https://hide.me/de/proxy
Change settings to "US proxy server" and it should work.
If you try a non US country it does not. Looks like they are for some reason banning me or non americans. Somewhere I read you can play with changin with DNS settings in such cases but I chose the simle way.
Very good sources, thanks for the excellent links nikdav!!!

Another tip for people who share the problem with me: Change your DNS server setting. For me the DNS server from the website "opendns.com" worked. It is 208.67.222.222 .
Obviously the site is blocking some DNS servers, I suppose non US ones.
