CONVEYOR OF DEATH

Symposium

In spite of fantasy uniforms and multi-lingual inscriptions, the scene of the action in this film made in the year of the national socialistic seizure of power is clearly the capital of the German Empire. By boosting the warfare industry, it is promised that unemployment will end. Young worker Luise is initially as impressed by this as she is by the clean uniforms of fascists marching in a disciplined manner. Class-conscious workers and young Communists open her eyes as well as the blind masses to the fascist demagogue: Hidden behind it are enslavement, terror and the preparation of a new war. Resistance is being prepared in an organized manner.
