Scope and Content

Hitler's (and German Army's) triumphant arrival in Austria. Many shots of wildly enthusiastic crowds (synch sound). Swastika-shaped confetti. Waves of Nazi frenzy through the countryside. Crowds lunging for miniature swastika flags. Rural folk line country road as German military rolls by. Steady tracking shot of Hitler's motorcade and thousands of people in Vienna, all gathered in square, hanging from trees, sitting on statues, etc.

Note(s)

  • J. Stumpfhaus documentary, "Eye of the Third Reich," indicates Walter Frentz, cameraman, accompanied Hitler to Vienna.
