Show detail Hide detail

Documentary made during a campaign to recruit members from among the Volksdeutsche: While the orchestra waits, speakers address the small concert attendance and presumably exhort them to join the Sturmbrigade Langemarck division. SS symbols, the emblem of the XIV SS Waffen Gren Division, 'Galizische No 1' and pictures of heroic German soldiers adorn the walls. The concert over, listeners rush to collect propaganda hand-outs. In another conference hall, military officers and distinguished civilians speak to assembled soldiers and nursing personnel. Josef Geobbels is shown signing documents in front of the microphones in a radio station while officers stand by and photographers snap pictures. Longish sequences on soldiers from surrounding countries here to join up with the SS: Danish soldiers are in evidence; Jugoslav Muslims, Galicians and many others meet with their German comrades, parade, wave divisional emblems, participate in various ceremonies, etc. Visitors then board a train for trip home. Sequences on German fighter pilots, ME BF-109s taking off. Night shots of anti-aircraft defences at work and cut to crashed Douglas Havoc, a Boeing Flying Fortress and American aircrew being searched. Night views of a Junkers 88 being bombed up, taking off. Sequence on E-boats patrolling sea lanes and torpedoing a freighter in the dead of night.
