Athletics Match (1920-1929)

Athletics Match - Germany. 1920s? Various shots of running races in progress. Parade of athletes walk across middle of stadium; all dressed in white shorts and shirts; some are young teenage boys. Aryan perfection etc. This part is like a preview of later Nazi youth rallies. All the boys walk along in groups and have emblems on their vests, signifying teams (?). One emblem looks like a ’copyright C’. Another seems to be an eagle (?). Shots of spectators in stands and leaving. Several shots of 1 runner. Ends w/ shot of this athlete at airport; next to aeroplane. Then plane taxiing. Athletics; sports; Weimar Republic. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ. EXPLORE OUR ONLINE CHANNEL, BRITISH PATHÉ TV.
