Pre-WWII - 1930s, Germany: Hitler Receives Public Adoration Excellent shots newsreel cameramen mounted on car roofs following Hitler’s motorcade as it parades down street. Huge crowds lining streets; motorcade stops to allow women w/ babies to run from crowd & give flowers to Hitler; others allowed up to Hitler’s car, watched closely by stormtroopers. People give fascist salute. Woman notices camera is on her & quickly raises arm of invalid father. Nazi & SS flags seen. 08:14:51 Huge crowd outside Hitler’s window; Hitler appears in dinner suit & salutes; Hitler-lookalike in crowd. Hitler in car through packed stadium - only head & shoulders become visible moving through sea of people. Good. Russian narration talking about Hitler’s attitude towards people - crowd needs to be treated like a woman - need to be led - mass power more important than individual minds - “one enemy and one god”.
