Was there a film by Hippler of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising 1943?
Title? Has it ever been determined where and when during the uprising this film was shot? Do the scenes in the film resemble the photographs in "The Stroop Report"? Was it shown during the Nuremburg Trials?
Hippler Film query
if you watch "Uprising" with David Schwimmer as Yitzhak Zuckerman and Jon Voight as Stroop it shows Hippler making a film about the Warsaw uprising and the Hippler character does say to Stroop in the film that he is under orders from Goebbles to film the heroic German soldiers during the action, so it must have existed somewhere/time if the film is accurate and Hippler was in fact there.............

On Hippler-there is a note in review of "The Uprising" {2001 movie recreation of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising} of a actor who plays Hippler at 1943 revolt-although as Wikipetia notes Hippler was in disfavor with Goebbels in March 1943. I do recall reading an account years ago on the Nuremburg trials in which a film of the 1943 uprising was shown-although the only films I've seen in regard to Warsaw Ghetto is a short clip of several SS Officers taking a gun from two Jews and a short clip of German Guards forcing young smuggler boys to drop potatoes from their clothing.
In regard to the August 1944 Warsaw uprising there are also two brief film clips reportably of this revolt-one shows a flamethrower against a aparment block and the other is a church being blown up.
