Wort und Tat

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wort und Tat (English: Words and Deeds) was a 10 minute short propaganda film directed by Fritz Hippler, among others.

The film is notable for the extensive use of montage to get its message across, in a style reminescent of Sergei Eisensteins Oktober.

The film begins with a montage of clips from the Weimer period, showing a series of clips of labor and communist rallies, interspered with scenes of scantily clad cabaret girls, and then shots of the posters of the different Weimer era political parties. this illustrates the "chaos" and "decadence" of the Weimer period. This sequence ends with former chancellor Heinrich Brüning making a speech against National Socialism.

The film then goes on a series of sequences showing how Nazi rule has "improved" various aspects of German life:

(in approximate order)

Agricultural production (with scenes of the Reich Labor Service at work)
Improvement of youth (Hitler Jugend scenes)
Coal production
Autobahn production
The Winter health Campaign
Steel production
Factories built

Then the film goes to a scene of Mussolini praising the German development( in German), and various shots of the SS marching and Luftwaffe flying in formation (which seems to have been lifted from Tag der Freiheit).
