Against the entertainment tax in their own right, representing the West Berlin film industry gathered to protest the entertainment tax outdated by the time. Helmut Käutner commented: "the pleasure, which pays the cinema, seems but morally or ethically to be absolutely questionable; "because it is covered in addition a penalty, called amusement tax."

For a better movie of the amusement Tax despite good movies being made in Germany, and the German film critics had every reason to Crown German films and their actors awards in Munich. Meyerink Hubert received the "Golden shell" for best supporting actress. Karin Baal was awarded best young actress.
Most importantly you applauded for their great performance in "A glass of water", where she stood in front of the camera next to the theatre Prince Gustav basic Kalkan Hilde Krahl. (Original sound)
The film critic characterized the good Soldier Švejk, Heinz Rühmann, as best male actor.

Policy in the present and past Bonn: on the eve of his visit to America, Chancellor Adenauer received the US Ambassador Dean Acheson, who visited the German capital than Kennedy's NATO traveler.

Washington: What has Dr. Adenauer ahead of her, has already become the success for Macmillan. Along with Kennedy, he demonstrated British American harmony in a family picture.

Dar-es-Salaam: Cheers and Concord marked the streetscape of Dar-es-Salaam, when the Englishman led the people of Tanganyika to independence.

Moscow: Apparently the independence of Africa is also the Soviets. In Moscow the former American spiritual singer Paul Robeson, they create a sentimental anthem of Lumumba.
Russian rockets have established the worldwide publicity of both space dogs Strelka and Bjelka. After their rocket trip to the Earth the prescribed socialism dogs turned the press for the first time, to present their offspring.

Jerusalem: A journey into a terrible past has begun in Israel. The best-kept accused of the world, Adolf Eichmann, stands before his judges in Jerusalem. In the sight of the menorah, the ancient Jewish religious character, the mass murderer Eichmann is must accountability from a bullet-proof glass pulpit out for the deaths of nearly 6 million innocent people.
In the Berlin's Kurfürstenstraße are the debris of the working area from which Eichmann and his ilk tension the diabolical power, in which the life of countless caught.

Youth of yesterday, remember you are? -It's not so long been German youth, our youth, a mirage to the victims fell into a frenzy of awakening and the renewal of the world. Led and seduced, as we see them today. They vowed to love and she swore allegiance. The enthusiasm on these pictures is real.
It was obsession and madness, for which they were thrilled, that you could notice only when it was already too late. Together with their fathers, they followed the flag of them was preached, it is more than death.
And together with their fathers, they were forced to drag, they learned No more to loathe most in a war.
What is left, maybe not so Very much was disappointment as a bitter lesson. And the apprehension soon followed the initial horror. All seem to have understood the meaning and the madness of the recent past. The debris, on which she almost lost her youth, were the field for a new beginning. The gravity in these faces is more than a promise. And when, a few months ago appeared anti-Semitic graffiti in the Federal Republic, Professor Carlo Schmid said: "you should look out not only the Sudeleien, but also the reactions of the countless people, above all the legions of young people of our people." It applies this to encourage; You can't let these young people do not feel that they were alone or were even among the hunted. You should join them fraternally. This happens then the ghosts will be different with us."
That precisely in these days the ghosts of the past in almost shocking way are conjured up, challenging us to protest. Heidelberg 1961.
These young people who sing politically ambiguous songs here with defiant conviction occur in Germany under the name "Schiller youth". They met in Heidelberg to a so-called Federal thing. There are few; - and we must emphasize that- But even in the minority, the demon linking these people, claimed our attention. These young people take their models from the writings of Paul Rassinier history forger, and they exhibit books, of which we believed that they have only curiosity value. Props yesterday, Viking ships and Rune badge here as symbols of an attitude of mind offered, about which one might puzzle: it is stupid or dangerous?
"Why do you wear a uniform?"
"We may not wear a uniform, what we wear, is a gap. We wear them for this reason, since it seems to be the expression of unity and of common will this is the F-Rune, the sign of freedom and expression of sublimity freedom will. This is the Odals-Rune, the character of the home ties and expression of the national will in all Nations."
What has little weight in this information as a nationalist phrase, becomes in the public lectures of open infamy.
"That's it, we know it by heart, what you say. Leave us alone, and the famous Goethe-Word began to guide us: power me the devil only not at all too small. A man all hate must be what. "We are not prepared, our pride and our freedom to give up to reap the praise of our former adversaries, we were finally brought up to. Which one, are certainly among you who still can remember it being said to the Germans in the first time after the war, they killed 12 million Jews; and after the beautiful saying "who's lying once, which you wouldn't believe" - has become everything else also doubtful."
It is No more surprising that here also the eternally offending their podium To find such words. "We can unleash the past of being raped by we cope with the present, to win the future. We To want be tiller for our Germany. I want my short words close with my poem "The Ploughman".
Strongly behind the Pfluge I saw Act one. Hands held the plow handle the Earth gushed fragrant fresh from the pages and I realized we To want further ploughing in the soul the seeds goes on it comes new time destroyed all the big lies are we are ready.
A handful of misled or a handful of lost? But thank God, we know that there are only a few...... We know that there is no national socialism in Germany. And we can say quiet heart that the German youth does not identify. But this youth is our request: be vigilant and nip it in the bud!
