Week 14 day 1

Today, we watched a non-propaganda movie made by American in 1938. In the movie, I saw:
  • German city
  • old buildings
  • people selling foods and flowers in the market
  • many Nazi Flags (the design of the Nazi Flag is different from the current flag)

  • horses helping farmers pulling carts
  • a group of small students walking home from school, carrying backpacks
  • everyone had a job
  • entire population works on rebuilding Germany, everybody was busy building something
  • by 1933, everybody was learning how to plough and plant so Germany could have enough stock of foods and no one needed to starve if they work together
  • they prepared sticks to grow beans, put strings, water the crops then pulled the beans in order to harvest it
  • Volksgemeinschaft was the program found by Hitler that recovered the economy of Germany
  • Volksgemeinschaft means people's community. This expression becomes popular during WW1 as the Germans rallied in support of the war.
About the swastika on the middle of Nazi Flag
  • was introduced by Hitler in mid-1920
  • the word swastika comes from the Sanskrit svastika - su means good, asti means it is and ka is a suffix
  • swastika literally means it is good.
That's it for today! :D
