Abstract: This dvd contains two films produced in Germany during the Nazi era, Die Deutsche Wochenschau and Tip auf Amalia. The first, Die Deutsche Wochenschau, is a German newsreel which might have played in front of the feature film. The newsreel begins with footage of the fuhrer awarding a medal to a German general, followed by a visit to an exhibition of Nazi art. The newsreel then moves on to German fighter planes attacking Soviet positions on the Eastern front and the sinking of Allied ships by German U-boats in the North Sea. In the feature film, Tip auf Amalia the eccentric millionaire Feinsipp leaves his porter his race horse Amalia, his chauffeur his car, and his cook and his chambermaid a small pension. All four now try to begin an independent existence. The race horse Amalia is supposed to compete in the next racing event, and Piesicke has already prophesized a victory. With the winnings, they all plan to open a beer garden. But the race horse ends up losing and is sold off. With the money, Piesicke buys another horse and this one wins the next race. In spite of this stroke of luck, the friendship amongst the four falls victim to mistrust and jealousy.
