Overview
- Description
- Title onscreen indicates that the footage shows an outing of the Munich amateur film club to Dachau, 1942. See Stories 1282, 1284, and 1285 for related footage. Very bluish color. A slate reads: "Special train (Sonderzug) for the amateur film club leaves at 7:45 am for Dachau." Members of the film club ride the train to Dachau. A clock indicates that they are arriving at Dachau train station at 8:19. They arrive at the station and begin filming in the residential/commercial areas of the town (NOT the camp). It appears to be summertime, based on their clothing. Club members film using a tripod and hand-held cameras. A woman in a dirndl serves them cake outdoors. They film a toddler with puppies. Shots of the town: a belfry, town or castle walls, old homes, a church with pedestrians nearby, vistas.
00:24:06 Members of the club stand outside a building housing an art exhibit. The club stops at a beer garden ( CU of the bar indicates that it is the Schlossberg brewery), and then goes for a swim, taking and posing for playful shots of themselves and others diving and lounging about. They use reverse motion photography to show a man diving into the river and then coming back out of the water onto the diving board. Children play in a pool of mud. Special-effects shots of alcohol disappearing from glasses. - Duration
