Note(s)

  • Though this was dated in footage as 1938 (by BA staff), it could be earlier. To be verified. See Story 307, Film ID 202A for footage of street scenes/urban life in Berlin.

  • "Berlin 1938" film is a travelogue of Berlin, showing lots of the famous sites. Included in the reel is a short sequence of tracking shot of street with Jewish stores. Older Jewish men walk by. Synagogue. Also, great generic shots of busy Berlin streets. Signs for election.
