At 2:30 the Brandenburg Gate is shown. At 2:55 the film mourns the passing of storm trooper Hans Eberhard Maikowski, who was killed in an attack allegedly committed by communists. A policeman named Josef Zauritz was badly injured. "All of Germany now honors his deeds through a state funeral" (3:12). The immense funeral is shown next. At 5:12, Hitler gives his first speech as Chancellor at the Berlin Sportpalast; "sports palace." The banner in the rear of the stadium says (more or less) "Keep Germany free of Marxism!" The date is February 10, 1933. At 7:48, a huge rally of National Socialist Organizations is shown, including a march through areas of Berlin felt sympathetic to the communists. At 9:20, Hermann Goring is shown on a balcony, saluting passing columns of Berliner S.A. It is the "day before the election" according to a title card. At 10:16, Hitler is shown the night before the election in Koningsburg. (The election was held on March 5.) At 10:37, a Junkers trimotor lands in the snow; Hitler emerges and is greeted by children holding flowers. At 11:05, another event is shown in what appears to be the sports palace.
