The second of two programmes
The story of Beckum, a small German town under the Nazis, told by its people, using their own contemporary film and pictures. It reveals a pre-war world of beer-drinking and shooting-parties, of Nazi uniforms and falling in love, and 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.
