Description
Three European dramas set in the Second World War. 'The Counterfeiters' (2007) is based on the true story of the largest counterfeiting operation in history, set up by the Nazis in 1936. Salomon 'Sally' Sorowitsch (Karl Markovics) is a womaniser who likes to drink and gamble. He also happens to be the best counterfeiter in Berlin. His luck runs out when he is arrested by Superintendent Friedrich Herzog (Devid Striesow). Immediately thrown into the Mauthausen concentration camp, Salomon's exceptional skills are soon noted and he is transferred to the upgraded camp of Sachsenhausen where Herzog, on a secret mission, awaits his arrival. Hand-picked for his unique talent, Salomon and a group of professionals are forced to produce fake foreign currency under the programme, Operation Berhard. The group of forgers, which also includes detainee Adolf Burger (August Diehl), is given luxury barracks for its assistance. However, Adolf refuses to use his skills to help the Nazis and wants to do something that will scupper their secret operation. Faced with a moral dilemma, Salomon must decide whether his actions, which could prolong the war and risk the lives of fellow prisoners, are ultimately the right ones. 'Days of Glory' (2007), directed by Rachid Bouchareb, depicts the plight of the North African troops enlisted to fight in the French army between 1943 and 1945. Despite the fact that the four young Arabs around whom the story centres have, in effect, been called up by one colonial oppressor to fight another, they say goodbye to their families in Algeria, Morocco and Senegal and willingly step forward to take up their arms. But all find themselves shockingly discriminated against by bigots within the French army, and deprived of the few rights and privileges to which new recruits are entitled. Bouchareb's powerful and persuasive film was instrumental in French prime minister Jacques Chirac's decision to compensate all North Africans who fought in World War II by unfreezing their pensions. The German drama 'North Face' (2008) is set in 1930s Germany just before the outbreak of war. Two German climbers attempt to scale the infamous North Face of the Eiger, aka 'Murder Wall' - the ultimate goal of every European mountaineer. Many have died in the attempt, but Toni Kurz (Benno Furmann) and Andi Hinterstoisser (Florian Lukas) are convinced they will make it. Set against a backdrop of political instability and growing menace as the Nazis steadily gain power, the film juxtaposes nature at its harshest and most unforgiving with the complex - and often contradictory - nature of humanity.

Delivery FAQs
Q | How will I know when my order has been sent?
As soon as your order is despatched from our warehouse,
you'll be sent an email just to confirm that it's on its journey to you
(remember to check your spam if you've not ordered from us before). You can
check the status of your order in your account by clicking here.
Q | Once my order has been despatched, when will I receive
it?
From the time you receive your despatch confirmation email
we would expect you to receive your order:
For Standard UK delivery 3-5 working days for deliveries
within the UK once goods are despatched. If it does happen - on the off chance
- to take any longer than this time period to reach you, Royal Mail policy
requests we wait 10 working days to pass before classifying an item as
"lost".
1st Class UK delivery: 1-2 working days once goods are
despatched provided orders are placed prior to 12:00 (see above).
Next Day UK delivery: next day delivery as long as orders
are placed by 12:00 Monday to Thursday only.
Standard Delivery to all other European Union Countries
should take 3-6 working days once goods are despatched provided orders are
placed prior to 12:00.
Q | Do you charge for delivery?
We offer FREE delivery on a wide range of our products. UK delivery is always free over £30. We offer a range of delivery options at varying costs. Delivery to other countries in the European Union starts from £2.99.
Q | What do I do if I have not received my order?
If your order doesn't arrive within 10 working days - contact us straight away so that we can investigate further. Please note: if you do not receive your order and you do not notify us within 30 days after despatch, we reserve the right not to refund or replace it.
Q | One of the items is missing from my order. What do I do?
We endeavour to ship your whole order in as few packages as
possible but sometimes items are sent separately. All items that should be in
your package should be listed on your delivery note. If this does not match,
please let us know straight away.
To give you some peace of mind, we'll be sure to send you an email to let you know when each item is on its way. Pre-orders placed with other items will be despatched separately prior to release day.
Q | What happens if I am not at home to accept my delivery?
Due to the size of most of our products, usually they don't
require you to be at home to take delivery as they will fit through your
letterbox.
In the event that you have ordered products which will not fit through your letterbox, (and you aren't in to take delivery) then the postal service will follow their usual procedure. For UK orders this usually means a card is left to notify you of an attempted delivery and the item will be held at your local sorting office. For items attempted for delivery by a courier service they will also leave a card and allow you to arrange for redelivery or collection.
Q | Am I able to change the delivery address to something
other than my registered PayPal address?
For the time being, we're unable to deliver your order to an alternative address - meaning all items will be posted to the address that's linked to your PayPal account.
Q | Do you deliver on Bank Holidays?
Bank Holidays are not classed as working days so we don't
include these in our estimated delivery times. On these days, you can expect
your delivery on the next working day following the Bank Holiday.
If you've got any more burning questions regarding our
delivery options, you can contact our customer services at
customerservice@zoom.co.uk. You'll be able to catch them Monday to Friday
between the hours 8:30-17:30.
