★★★ · various locations in Germany · Poohbah70 · 2019-05-28

It would seem that this shows various stops on this family's holiday in Germany. In the first scene, a stand seems to have the word Munchen (Munich) - and the city is large, with extensive housing, streetcars, etc. Other locations show a riverboat with a Nazi flag, placing this footage firmly in Germany; a mountain scene with waterfalls and narrow pathways, reminding me of the Reichenbach Falls where Sherlock Holmes almost met his end at the hands of Moriarty; countryside,; a small town; cow pastures. All very interesting as a slice of 1930s life.
