Director wasn't Maetzig!

Previous reviewer is not off mark, but the director was NOT Kurt Maetzig, but rather Konrad Wolf! Indeed, the film is full of heavy underlining of its messages - the use of music, the voice-over as a pedagogical-didactic omniscient commentary, the heavy-handed closeups of swastikas. Interesting as a document, but not on the level of Wolf's work from STARS (1959) onward. Also interesting as a belated re-run of a lot of cinematic and iconic clichés familiar to viewers of Weimar film (the reflections in display windows, used in Lang's M and Pabst's Threepenny Opera). The melodramatic style of the film owes too much to UFA, however. The problems with the film, as Klaus Wischnewski has noted, are with its dramaturgy (compare Staudte's ROTATION for a similar film).
