I found an interesting German documentary on "Hitler's Political Generals" with 2 good sections on Robert Ley and Albert Förster.
Both appear to be speeches given in a studio environment without audience. No subtitles and I don't speak German so I have no idea what they are saying but I've not seen this kind of footage before.

Ley is at 17:08 and Förster is at 24:38.

Also discovered the video of Arthur Greiser's execution (it shows the crowds and Greiser on the scaffold - the hanging is not shown but shows his body being laid out on the ground afterwards - the masked and corpulent executioner flamboyantly removing his gloves and giving the signal with a snap of his fingers).
