Wochenschau reader
What was the name of the strident reader who read the commentary on the Deutsche Wochenschau newsreel, and what was his fate after the war?

There were two commantators but I guess the more prominent is Harry Giese whi died in the 80´s. After the war he worked as Synchron-talker in movies.

I don't see why... He had to read out texts written by others on audiotapes. It was not like he was expressing his very own unique ideas and visions regarding the matters the Reichspropagandaministerium lay before him to read out.Von Schadewald wrote:I believe he is also the voice on the infamous "Der Ewige Jude". Could he not have been tried at Nuremberg for a war crime?
Here's a picture and some information about him (in German)

What was the name of the younger sounding Wochenschau commentator heard 1943-45?
One comes across Wochenschau clips such as this http://search.eb.com/normandy/video/onormay151v1.mov
Are there any sites that have more?

Tappe's voice is calmer, but Giese's voice is of a true 'fanatical and exalted Nazi '

Re: Wochenschau reader
Harry Giese who narrated the wicked "Der Ewige Jude" with such venom, let alone the Wochenschaus that kept WW2 going by maintaining German morale to the end of the wat, did no one in E. or W.Germany or Israel object to him continuing to narrate films and adverts in to the 1970s?!
