This is a movie that is 80 years old already. To put it in perspective, this was done 2 years after Hitler's rise to power, 1 year before the Olympics in Berlin and 4 years before World War II. It is a black-and-white movie that runs for slightly under half an hour and, for the most part, shows us the German armed forces in (fake) combat action and during parades. Of course, during these parades all the high-rank Nazi politicians are there as well, not just Hitler himself.
It is not a particularly interesting movie to watch, really only significant to see how things were back then from a documentary perspective. Quality is fairly low, even for the 1930s. The film's director is centenarian Leni Riefenstahl, who did some more Nazi propaganda movies, such as the infamous "Triumph of the Will". There is quite some irony between the music and the scenes depicted. Especially the whistling parts make it seem fairly ridiculous at times. All in all, only worth a watch for those with a deep interest in German history of the 20th century.
