Adolf Hitler (the Fuhrer) rides in an open car past cheering crowds.
Vehicles carrying German troops drive up a winding road. People on the roadside give a fascist salute as they pass. Quick POV shot from vehicle.
Shots of crowds in Vienna waiting for Hitler. Lots of swastikas and salutes. Crowds are taking up every possible vantage point to see the Fuhrer. Hitler rides in open car past cheering crowds. Hitler gets out of the car and after meeting officers inspects the Guard of Honour.
A huge crowd has formed in a city square to cheer Hitler who appears on a balcony. The crowd chant some kind of oath. Hitler strolls up and down the balcony past other dignitaries (possibly Austrian politicians).
N.B. This film is quite scratched.
BRITISH PATHÉ'S STORY
Before television, people came to movie theatres to watch the news. British Pathé was at the forefront of cinematic journalism, blending information with entertainment to popular effect. Over the course of a century, it documented everything from major armed conflicts and seismic political crises to the curious hobbies and eccentric lives of ordinary people. If it happened, British Pathé filmed it.
Now considered to be the finest newsreel archive in the world, British Pathé is a treasure trove of 85,000 films unrivalled in their historical and cultural significance.
British Pathé also represents the Reuters historical collection, which includes more than 136,000 items from the news agencies Gaumont Graphic (1910-1932), Empire News Bulletin (1926-1930), British Paramount (1931-1957), and Gaumont British (1934-1959), as well as Visnews content from 1957 to the end of 1984.
