    Film Provenance
    The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum received a DVD copy of this film from scholar John-Paul Himka in 2013. The film was discovered at the Ukrainian Canadian Research and Documentation Centre (UCRDC) in Toronto, Canada by a researcher working on the topic of the Waffen-SS Division Galizien. The film was originally donated to the UCRDC by a Ukrainian community activist. The UCRDC has since stated that the film cannot be located in their archive.
    Note
    Movement of the German Army South on the Eastern Front in 1941 filmed with a handheld camera. From the flower insignia on some of the vehicles, the scenes seem to focus on units of the 1.Gebirgs-Division or 1st Alpine Division, which was in Lemberg/Lvov (then Vinnitsa and Uman) with Army Group South, as of June 1941. It was probably part of XXXIX.Gebirgs-Armeecorps or 49th Mountain Army Corps. The Army South's mission was to capture Kiev, the capital of the Ukraine, and to drive out Soviet troops in advance of the Army North and Army Center's invasion into Eastern Europe and Russia.
