Leader
Nothing can happen in this world in which not all of us could become a part. In all countries of the world, every day, every hour, the cameras of our film reporters focus on the interesting events of the time.
They capture the beauty of nature, the works of people, the monuments of art, the witnesses and designers of our century, - all over the world.
Over countries and seas, the eye of the film reporters follows the events of the time and then draws the living face of our epoch.
We want to be interesting by bringing a picture of the deep seriousness of our lives and our centuries-old culture in addition to the current events and sensations. We want to be up-to-date by making the present genuine and true to life according to the classical laws of our European tradition.
We want to capture the breath of our time, we want to capture the living history of our days in the rhythm and pace of this century.
Today, for the first time in 5 years, you see a newsreel that is created exclusively under German direction and responsibility, and for 17 years the first independent, uncontrolled newsreel: The New German Newsreel!

02nd launch in Hamburg
The ships we are building are supposed to reconnect Germany with the world, they are to be the ambassadors of peace and finally free our trade from the clutches of foreign cargo.
This is the steamer "Lucy Essberger", 1500 tons in size, the second new building of the Hamburg Howaldwerke since the end of the war It runs up to 11.2 knots. Only 12 knots are allowed to us so far.

03. Vienna
Vienna's St. Stephen's Cathedral is being restored. Because the shillings on the Danube are just as scarce as the D-Mark in our country, the Viennese were asked to voluntarily collect. - Slowly the roof closes.
The Iron Man at the town hall tower opposite the Ringstrasse is also being restored.

04. In Belgrade, Marshal Tito declared: "The Comintern will never regain power in Yugoslavia. My decision against Moscow is final."
Marshal Tito.
Half an hour later, Tito removed Serbian Deputy Prime Minister Djermanovicz from office.

05. Wooden tiles
Here we are not with the Upper Bavarian wooden rafts on the Isar, but with their guild comrades on a raging Japanese mountain river.
In Japan as in Upper Bavaria, the same dangers --- same skill.

06th Reindeer Race
Until now, we only knew dogs as draught animals in the far north.
This is about reindeer for the winner of the year, who will later compete with the winners of the other provinces in the capital of the country.
The district commissioner as arbitrator. Skijoring behind reindeer.

07. Samba in Rwanda
"We have to teach the whites a new dance," said the ballet master who led this military parade.
... If the boys knew what they could earn in Europe !!!

08. Grapefruit Queen
A parade. against which there is nothing to object even from a pacifist point of view - and yet a warlike event: The bitterly serious fight for the title of grapefruit queen. ... in California, of course! - Delicious fruits! - Pointed at the top and round at the bottom ... Enjoy the fruit and stay healthy.
-And the gourmet? The water should converge in his mouth. - And Her Majesty - the Queen !

09. Tower Jumper
Once again, American swimming is dominated by the Preparations for the Olympics. - Somersaults in any desired version ... simple, 1 1/2-fold ... 2 1/2-fold, 3 1/2-fold - but in pairs. The winner of the 1936 Olympics: Marjorie Gestring. - And now their 6 competitors for 1952. - Here are the offspring: They can't write yet, they can't read yet; but they are almost ready for the Olympics. - 3 meters high, ... 3 years old! Just as the old jump, so the young swim here.

10. Garmisch

a. Bobsleigh races:
6th International Winter Sports Week in Garmisch. People flock to the ice stadium. 8 nations participate in the competitions. Here is the Olympic bobsleigh track. Bobsleigh. Riessersee with driver Ostler at the wheel is considered the favorite for the championship. The main competitor is Dr. Losert from Innsbruck. The track is mirror-smooth and the fir trees are deeply snowed. With more than 100 kilometers per hour it goes into the Bayernkurve.
- Kilian and Fox in conversation. - Winner - Bob Riessersee !

b. Ski jumping:
The special jump on the large Olympic hill was the last highlight of the winter sports week.
On the right Sepp Weiler, the champion jumper from Obersdorf.
50,000 spectators follow the exciting fights. The critical point of the hill is 80 m, a distance that has been skipped 17 times. The German extra class with Weiler, Brutscher and Klopfer at the top meets Finland's and Sweden's Springergarde. - The Swede Dan Netzel jumps 91 1/2 meters, but does not stand through the jump. - This is Sepp Weiler on his first jump.
88 meters, a new hill record! Here is one of the Finns, Vainio. His template is also good, but he crashes at 80 meters. - And now Again Sepp Weiler. With difficulty he stands the jump. He can laugh well, because that was the victory.

c. Ice hockey:
The Harringay racers showed perfect ice hockey in the game against the German old master SC-Riessersee. - Hoffmann, the German goalkeeper has his hands full. Again, the English are on the attack. Another goal, and Hoffmann can't prevent it any more than 12 others.

d. Ice skating- Herber-Baier:
A samba conga, danced by Maxi and Ernst Baier. Unmatched, they still inspire the masses today with their dance performance.

e. Slalom:
Annemirl Buchner-Fischer, Germany's best runner. In an elegant, safe manner, she swings through the gates. Now she is on the steep slope, gate after gate she takes and approaches the goal in a rushing ride. - Nevertheless, this time it is only enough for third place. - The first of the men's class, it is No. 11, the Swede Lennart Nilson. Even faster, even safer than Annemirl, he chases through the 48 goals. - Nilson also came in third. - That was too bold! The fall costs valuable seconds. Now No. 4, Ernst Spiess from Innsbruck. He is the second winner. - And here the winner Sepp Folger from Rosenheim.
He was the fastest and won by almost 2 seconds.
