Said to pick up where "Triumph of the Will" left off, this film showcases highlights of the Nazi Party rallies in Nüremberg in 1936 and 1937. The main focus of the film begins with extended footage of the Gothic splendor of Nüremberg from the air, Hitler's arrival at the airbase, his motorcade into the city, and the ensuing ceremonies. Other, much more propagandistic elements, are edited in; they include: past Nazi party marches and rallies, parachute drops, Wehrmacht exercises in the Zeppelin fields, random military formation night rallies and random shots of massed crowds, fireworks, torch lit marches, even live explosions. close

German soldiers of the 29th Infantry Division, marching to Russia in June 1941, reached Stalingrad in September 1942.
One of them shot this campaign on film with his personal camera - it turned out to be a film (not clipped and uncensored).
Former participants of those events, veterans of the same division commented on this film, which lay for several decades in a half-abandoned basement and share their memories (off-screen).
This unique document of time is supplemented by the film footage of the famous front-line cameraman Goetz Hirt-Rieger (“Mit der kamera an der Ostfront”), who also served in Russia and recorded his impressions independently. .
