Summary: Popular film praises German science's contributions to the war effort and to humanity at large.
Description: Commentary over a compilation of stock-shot film of laboratory researchers and various industrial processes briefly glimpsed says that the inventive genius of German physicists, chemists, engineers and doctors has advanced the nation's civil and military technology, created substitute products, invented new materials, made important medical discoveries and continues to contribute to the welfare of the world. Motor and optical industries which brought Germany fame in peacetime make her strong in war. Recent discoveries in the natural sciences permitting the manufacture of petrol, soap and rubber from coal, paper from straw, and the production of cellophane, unbreakable glass, aluminium, plastics and nitrate fertilisers have freed Germany from her dependence on raw materials from abroad and have strengthened her export power. Other filmed examples of modern German scientific achievement are an express locomotive, an AEG turbine which reached its destination despite the English blockade and X-ray equipment for medical and commercial use.
