Pretty decent translation. At one point it should have used "flare", not "rocket." Also, when they show the captured paratroopers the subtitle says, "they can't believe the invasion is over", when in German voiceover it adds "for them."
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

That last part is quite an enormous difference, I would think.  :blink:

No idea. Most Youtube videos that aren't available in Germany contain music and were "censored" by our version of RIAA. But with WW2 stuff it could also be that it is censored by Youtube so that they don't risk breaking the German anti-Nazi laws.

In which case it would very likely also be blocked by Austrians who are at least as rigorous as the German authorities in that regard.

But if the censorship is extended past what is logical, you would expect enforcement to be inconsistent, so you wouldn't expect the Austrian authorities to censor the same things.  Inconsistent enforcement is what you would expect in the case of poorly-thought-out laws.
