Eight days Berlin, with the camera saw eight fateful days for Berlin, perhaps - for Germany. The uprising, a protest against the domination of the SED regime and a commitment to the reunification, was machine gun fire and tanks by down not only in Germany rule grief and outrage. Far beyond the continent, they hearken. The people of all nations are shocked by the brutal actions of the Soviets. The eyes of the world focused on the operations in Berlin. The dangers of a divided Germany have become never more clearly aware of the West. The American High Commissioner Conant and numerous West German politicians rushed to Berlin, to get an immediate impression of an event that arouses fear and hope in one. The no man's land has become the dangerous zone. 25000 Soviet soldiers were drawn together in the eastern sector. People at the sector boundaries are scared and indecisive. On individual, strictly controlled crossing points are hermetically sealed the borders between East and West Berlin. Even after days, still wandering the people at the border, many of them can't go home. The traffic is paralysed. In West Berlin, but life is usual. The pulse of a child economy can be felt everywhere. In hospitals, the wounded of the uprising, which took refuge in the western sector will be maintained. The sad face of the city is reflected in the Spree and mourning moves across the country. The flags flown at half-mast. In Bonn, German President Heuss called for a memorial service for the fallen brothers in the East. The President drew attention to the contrast between formal and moral power in the East and stressed: (original sound) but Berlin is a phenomenon, it is a city with many faces. In the middle of the pain, it shows a happy. From 36 countries, the mighty of the film came to the Berlin Film Festival, and Gary Cooper was all excited. In the Gloria-Palast, Berlin's culture Senator welcomed the guests from all over the world, among them many celebrities and more. Dr. Eckardt, the President of the German film Club, founded the film awards. There were honored: the Director Harald Braun, Rudolf Jugert and Barbara Ruetting as a successful junior.

The game was very temperamental! Here an attack by Ottmar Walter, placed by rescuers on the penalty area boundary. The penalty kick is safely handled by BACS. Stuttgart passes now to attack, but without success. The stadium commemorates the dead of the Berlin uprising. The game continues. In the 37.

Finally succeed Kronenbitter for VfB the port gate. But the superiority of the fair is increasingly clear. And here: 3: 1! Attack on attack rolls! 4: 1 victory of Kaiserslautern Finally, and became German Champion in 1953! And yet, such as in Berlin the flag at half-mast in all Germany. Germany's population mourns the deaths of 17 June. Before the Schoneberg Town Hall, Mayor Reuter took leave of the victims. (Original sound). Then, the Chancellor took the word. (Original sound).
