Narration (English)
01. Springtime in Germany
In Spring the sorrows weigh less and the little joys of life more.
Springtime in Berlin. The facade has fallen - but what was behind it is still there: the Berliner's imperturbability and adaptability. Even the flowers on the window-sill are watered as of old.
Kids are inventive and transform a scene of ruin into a playground.
In Schöneberg park no evidence of destruction mars the idyllic scene of sun, spring and rest-cure.
And in the Tiergarten the lovers stroll again, oblivious of their surroundings.
Springtime in Garmisch. Those who cannot forego their beloved wintersport may still enjoy a springtime version of them on the grassy slopes of the former ski-grounds.
But a grass-slalom requires special ability and many who thought themselves champions of the snow land head over heels in the clinging grass.
Springtime in Traunstein. Old picturesque customs return, like the historical St. Georgi-Ride to the thousand years old mountain chapel of Ettendorf. The Chiemgauers have decorated their horses with loving care and artistic taste; the procession moves through town and country; the priest awaits it on the crest of the hill and blesses man and beast. Springtime at the Weser. The crews of the barges near the canal crossing over the Weser near Minden are having an unusual spring-holiday. In 1944 the dyke was hit by a bomb and the ships anchoring near by were washed on to the dry land by the floods. The reconstruction is proceeding apace and soon. The idle barges will be afloat again. But in the mean time the bargees and their families have settled down to the unaccustomed life of landlubbers.
Springtime in Munich. The large monument of "Miss" Bavaria towers over the wide field of the "Theresienwiese" and below a new springlike variation of a queue can be observed: a queue for a view. In the background Munich with the Frauenkirche, in the foreground the fun-fair which has thus returned to one of it's traditional romping grounds. For the grown ups it is a pleasant revival, for the children an Open-Sesam of unknown wonders.
Springtime in Germany: a caleidoscopic picture of the little joys of life.
02. Exotic Olympics
Bangalore was the scene of the 12th All India Olympic Games. 800 athlets from all over India took part.
After the opening of the games by the Maharaja of Mysore the competitors take the Olympic oath. The games open with the famous Mysore lancers giving a display of horsemanship.
First event: the women's 50 metres race. The winner flashed past breaking the All India record; time 6,5 secs. The strongest man of Heidarabad - and another rekord is broken - this time in weight lifting.
Among the spectators the Vice Roy of India, Lord Wavell, and Sir Arthur Hope. The start of the 200 metres - look out for the second from the right, he's second from the end and a great sprinter from Madras who surprisingly takes the lead and - wins. The Pole vault final - the last one reaches 11 ft. 6 inch. and remains unbeaten.
Burnan Singh from Patalia wins the High Jump ... and also the Long Jump.
No wonder, that the desired Trophy of All India Olympics goes to his team, the team of Patiala.
03. USA:
American fertilizer for European Crops
In Florida, USA, are the world's greatest phosphate mines containing 50 percent of the world's supply, 8 to 10 million cubic yards will be excavated this year.
The phosphate deposits lie only ten to fifteen feet below the surface making the excavating job easy.
The mines are working at full capacity to provide [...] with as much fertilizer as possible.
The raw material is treated under ground on conveyor belts at a rate of 300 tons an hour. Then the ph[...]te is loaded into cars for shipment abroad.
Thus America makes an important contribution for the relief of the food crisis in Europe.
04. Nuremberg Trial
In Nuremberg Dr. Hans Bernd Gisevius was interrogated as witness for the defendants Frick and Schacht.
Gisevius started his career in 1933 as a lawyer-member of the Gestapo. Later he successively held offices in the Ministery of Interior, the Reich's Criminal Investigation Department, the Defence Department of the OKW and the German consulate service. He was a member of the group who attempted Hitlers assassination on the 20th of July 1944 and is the last survivor of the main conspirators.

(Original sound speech Gisevius)

Representatives of the German and of Foreign Governments as well as the clergy of all confessions address the gathering.
06. Germany's Railways in Reconstruction
At the end of the war the German railway system was in a state of chaos. Many railway stations were damaged up to 95%, 50% of all bridges were damaged or destroyed, the losses in locomotives, passenger and freight cars, repair shops, rails, tracks etc. could hardly be estimated.
Reconstruction of this vital branch of public life, once started, went ahead with vigour and with speed ... and slowly, but surely conditions are improving everywhere.
The difficulties are enormous - the huge volume of the devastation, the lack of material and equipment - but work proceeds apace: most of the main lines are already being serviced and bridges, stations and trains are one by one returning to their old jobs.
Often unusual, even daring plans have to be carried through as with this smashed viaduct near Muenster. The bridge is the main connection between South and West Germany via Stuttgart.
An American steel construction supersedes the original pillars, senselessly destroyed by retreating German troops - and traffic goes on again. Another important line is back in operation.
07. News Flashes
a. Tudor II
Britain's largest airliner, the Tudor II, is a shining example of technical perfection and aesthetic beauty.

The take-off for a test flight. Safely and steaydily the Tudor II goes through her paces.
In the background her small sister Tudor I, from which the new giant was developed.
b. Sufriding in Australia

Here, in their surf-boats, they try to fight the huge breakers - not for fun but for practise. They, too, have accidents - but these amphibious life-savers get away with it.
c. Fashions
In many German fashion schools dress-designs and costumes are now being created in order to stimulated and supply the reviving textile industry. Most of the finished products are used for export.
In this fashion school in Hamburg the whole development of a garment is tought - and then the mannequin displays the finished creation.
New hats are the gay landmarks of spring. These are America's latest models, made of Mexican straw.
And what about the wearers of these hats? A dog's life ... to make a woman envious.
