Color footage recalls a Munich weekend when nearly all the Nazi leadership attended a three day festival including music, dance and a mammoth parade. This archival footage was filmed in July 1939, six weeks before the start of World War II, by an amateur buff with 16-millimeter Kodachrome. The filmmakers frame an audience of aging Germans watching themselves in the 1939 footage, reliving the events of the festival and discussing political and social issues of that time period.
