Here's a video of them in action - you can see the Nazis tried to create popular high-budget movies despite the war costs. They weren't very fast even back in the day and now that they are only used for historical records, they probably go even slower. I'm pretty sure their usage is very restricted and still they likely needed an exception from the European equivalent of OSHA.
