8. AUF GEHT'S - 1937

1937 film about the national agricultural exhibition in Munich in 1937.

MUSIC ONLY. APPROXIMATELY 23 MINUTES.

9. AUF GROSSER FAHRT - 1936

The story of the cruiser Karlsruhe on its 1934/35 journey to ports of call in South and North America. Ostensibly a "simple cruise", the ship especially made sure to visit and establish contacts with German communities abroad in South America and even in the United States with the intention of strengthening the bonds between the homeland and the colonial settlers (translation: to ensure a reliable Fifth Column abroad in the event of war; something amply proven with the comments of the cruiser's commander at film's end). Fascinating to watch, if only to see what the Western Hemisphere looked like at this time, one gets the eerie feeling, that the ex-pat German community was very closely tied to events at home and distinctly more loyal to Germany than to its host countries (purposely reinforced by the film's editors, whether true or not). Very interesting film for the naval enthusiast as well as the armchair traveler. When this film came out in 1936, about a year after the finish of this tour, the Karlsruhe was stuck in San Diego repairing severe damage to the ship due to a run in with a tropical storm.

IN GERMAN WITH OPTIONAL ENGLISH SUBTITLES. APPROXIMATELY 70 MINUTES.

APPROXIMATELY 168 MINUTES TOTAL. VARIABLE QUALITY, BUT IT RANGES FROM POOR TO EXCELLENT FILM QUALITY.
