The
film was shot in July 1939, just six weeks before the Second World War began,
by an amateur film buff who wangled a special pass to shoot the event in
close-up on color 16-millimeter Kodachrome. It was first shown only to the
film maker's family, then hidden in the family cellar, where it lay for many
years before one of his sons retrieved it. English film makers Luke Holland
and Paul Yule assembled an audience of elderly Germans, framing them watching
themselves in the 1939 footage and reminiscing about their experiences. Among
them were sons of the unofficial cameraman who shot the 16-millimeter film
and the daughter of the publisher of Hitler's Mein Kampf, who in deference to
Hitler's wish for "privacy" on frequent visits to the publisher's
home never said "Heil, Mein Führer", but always "Good Morning,
Mr. Hitler." (Expires 8/18/2024)
