Swarms of people wave as vehicles drive down wet streets and then enter gated square. Snow falling and blowing. Crowds swarm to see Hitler, who is driven into the square. Wearing a long coat, he walks in the square amid Nazi military personnel, all very serious. The masses of people are cheering wildly.

Parade of Hitler Youth, National Anthem, flags being raised, crowds in parade stands wave swastika flags, etc. Hitler with entourage.

[SOUND: roar of crowd, some VO, fanfare dramatic music.] German soldiers on horseback march through checkpoint into small town, followed by military motorcade. All are smilingly received by large crowd of townspeople, including "sieg heils", flowers being tossed, children waving swastika flags. Women in window. Good shots.
