The second of two programmes
The family archives of amateur film-makers in Beckum, a small German town, reveal a pre-war world of beer-drinking and shooting-parties, of Nazi uniforms and falling in love, of a carnival float that caricatures Jews in prison. During the war they filmed pigs in their gardens, SS soldiers exchanging clothes and roles with local youths, a wartime wedding in lace sent from conquered France, and finally desolation and defeat on the Russian Front.
The story of Beckum under the Nazis is told by its people, using their own contemporary film and pictures.
