Newsreel Clip (1938)

★★★ · Historically Deceptive... · Larnot · 2014-11-30

The latter half of the newsreel (concerning Austria) is almost as fictitious as the movie this would have preceded. Austria in fact voted to repatriate with Greater Germany. Somewhere near 98.3% of Austrian voters demanded this. As for the "thousands" of occupying troops: Austrian troops occupied major German cities at the same time that German troops rolled into Austria. It was a show of solidarity and support on the part of both nations. America and the west was lied to from the very beginning and it has continued for the following 3/4 century.
