- Quotes
Narrator: Don't let it fool you. You are in enemy country. Be alert. Suspicious of everyone. Take no chances.
Narrator: The German lust for conquest is not dead. It's merely gone undercover.
Narrator: Guard particularly against this group. These are the most dangerous: German youth.
Narrator: They were brought up on straight propaganda.
Narrator: Don't argue with them. Don't try to change their point of view.
Narrator: You will not argue with them. You will not be friendly. You will be aloof. Watchful and suspicious. Every German is a potential source of trouble.
Narrator: They cannot come back into the civilized fold just by sticking out their hand and saying, "I'm sorry". Don't clasp that hand. It's not the kind of a hand you can clasp in friendship.
Narrator: Trust none of them. Some day the German people might be cured of their disease: the super-race disease, the world-conquest disease. But they must prove that they have been cured, beyond the shadow of a doubt, before they ever again are allowed to take their place among respectable nations.

** 1/2 (out of 4)
WW2 propaganda film from director Capra tells young troops why they should overtake Germany as well as why they should put them in the ground so that they can never rise up again. The film tells how Germany has always been evil and when given a second chance they ruin in and send another person like Hitler. I know these films were made to rally troops during WW2 but looking at them today you can't help but call them rather racist. This film here at least says you should respect their customs yet it then follows that by saying you shouldn't talk to their people because you can't trust them. The film runs just over ten-minutes and pretty much tries to pump up Americans and throw a fear factor into things. This is certainly a film of its era and I'm sure most will find it boring but if you're interested in these films its not too bad.
