An American Journalist’s Color Film of Germany in 1938
In 1938, american journalist Theodore Andrica visited Germany. During this visit he made this astonishing color film, which shows not only the “official” Third Reich.
His films includes scenes from the annual NS Party Congress in Nuremberg, Hitler’s Berchtesgaden home and even some shots of Hitler himself, but also remarkable footage of ordinary, daily life in rural and urban Germany.

This brings literal tears to my eyes knowing the beauty and magnificence in these images, and most of the people, we’re all turned to rubble and ash. Germany was 20 years ahead of the US in culture and technological advancements. Imagine how much better off the world would be now if we simply allowed Germany to thrive.
All or most of what we see in this film would be destroyed in five years.
