Brief, poorly-preserved newsreel clip from the late 40s. The initial story is about a visit to the US by the president of pre-Castro Cuba. This is followed by a story about some sort of trial proceedings in Holland that is narrated entirely in German (or a language that sounds like German). It might be a war crimes proceeding, since they show some scenes of the concentration camp, but it’s not really clear. This is followed by a story about the Hiss-Chambers hearings. These stories all have only partial soundtracks, and despite the title cards, this feels like unedited raw footage, especially the Hiss-Chambers section. Which makes it more interesting than it might otherwise be. Ratings: Camp/Humor Value: *. Weirdness: ****. Historical Interest: ****. Overall Rating: ***.

Shown are the proceedings against the German commandant and guards of the infamous Amersfoort concentration camp, arrested after the war. The voice is the voice of the prosecutor, asking for the death penalty for the accused. dutch trial in newsreel 4 ed70 2006-05-04 09:19:55 2006-05-04 09:19:55 2 3.50
