Documentary about the life in Berlin in 1941. The planned premier was stopped by the national party due to the damages and painful changes to the city that soon followed. It thus premiered in 1950.

A historical film contrasting the two Germanies – the good and the evil – which struggled for power between the two world wars.

The film opens with a montage - scenes of hungry people in one city after another.We imagine we are seeing Germany, but then realize we are looking at Paris, London, Naples. The reveal is shocking. The film was made to help Germans realize that they were not the only ones to suffer from the food shortages caused by the war. Its other message was to encourage German farmers to sell their agricultural products instead of hording them.
