The DVD begins with the 1939 hero parade for Günther Prien and the crew of U-47 as they return to Berlin after sinking the Royal Navy battleship HMS ROYAL OAK in Scapa Flow end of October.  The FW 200 lands at the Berlin Airport and Prien gets into an open Mercedes touring car while his officers and crew get into other cars behind his lead car.  They drive (in a light drizzle) through the streets to the Chancellery where Hitler himself is waiting to greet them.  He personally gives Prien his Knights Cross - Prien makes a little speech, then smiles at the camera.

Then there is a funeral parade and Hitler is in München consoling a mother who has lost her son in battle.

In Rome, Hitler and his entourage are on hand for a huge parade for Mussolini in the Eternal City.  We see the finest German regiments in the parade as Mussolini, Hitler, Raeder, Göring, Himmler and others watch.

There are victory parades in Oslo (Norway) and in Holland.

Mussolini arrives by train in München - Hitler, Göring, Goebbels and others greet him, then they get into open Mercedes touring cars for the parade through the city.

We see the victory parade in Paris past the Arc d' Triumph!  There is the French surrender ceremony in the very same railroad car in which Germany was forced to surrender at the end of World War I.  The entire ceremony is on the tape.

In Saarbrücken, we watch massive parades of Hitler Jugend and Arbeitsdienst.

In a special military parade for Mussolini on another visit, we see mechanized infantry, light armor, heavy armor, cavalry, armored motorcycles, artillery as air power roars overhead.  It is impressive!

There is even a parade honoring the King of Bulgaria!

This DVD shows the still staunch and fierce pride of Germany even as the tide of war turns, even to the point of impending defeat - the people maintain their loyalty and pride.
