“Seldom is such a representa-t i v e example of Communist propaganda made available to the American public,” Von Hanwehr said.
The 1956 film, a compilation of material photographed over the past 65 years, is an attempt to review German history from a Communist point of view'.

The film interprets these facts as a recurrence of historical events that have proved fatal to Germany and offers a “documentation” of the causes: nationalism, militarism, fascism, capitalism, and imperialism, he said.
