An Original Vintage German Film Program (measures 9" x 12" [23 x 30 cm]; 8 pages) (Learn More) Feuertaufe (released in English-speaking countries as "Baptism of Fire"), the 1940 Hans Bertram German World War II (WWII) Nazi propaganda Poland airplane aerial bombing documentary (about the German blitzkrieg and Luftwaffe aerial bombardment of Poland filmed by combat cameramen) narrated by Herbert Gernot. Note that a knowledgeable collector tells us that it was made to be shown in other European countries so that they would not resist subsequent German invasions in 1940. It was never formally "released" in the U.S. Rather, confiscated copies (obtained from Canada, which declared war shortly after Britain did in September 1939 within days of the surprise German attack on Poland) were declared "war contraband" in the U.S., so that the German film could be legally incorporated into the interventionist RKO release "The Ramparts We Watch" to show Americans the brutal nature of the Nazi regime. Artist: Pewa Important Added Info: Note that this is a "country of origin" item for this German movie! Note that we have provided an image of four of the pages of this 8-page program (we did this by opening it and laying it flat and photographing the front and back cover together, and two of the interior pages together). You can see the four of the eight pages, and can well determine the exact condition of it from our super-sized image, but realize that there are four pages you are not seeing. But of course this means that the front cover appears in the top right of our image, but normally, the program would be folded down the center and you would view the cover by itself (and it will be sent folded as was originally intended). Condition: good. There are two punch holes in the spine of all eight pages, which has some effect on the images and writing (the program was once kept in a 2-ring binder).
