Nazi Concentration Camps is a 1945 produced film, as well.  It was put together by the US Army and it consists of one hour of graphic visual revelations about the liberated concentration camps, as they were found by the western Allies as they marched across a defeated Germany.

175 minutes long.  Quality of the frist two films is overall very good; the last film suffers from some flickering and softness, but this is mainly due to the original film, not its reproduction.
