Summary:Portuguese language version of a German newsreel of their own forces in the area of Lille, occupied France, autumn 1915.
Description:British prisoners, probably from the Battle of Loos, are marched through the streets of Lille (?) with a mounted escort. German wounded are taken by ambulance to a temporary hospital in the town and unloaded. Soldiers distribute meat to the people (mainly old men and women) of Lille. Nearer the battle zone, a horse from a gun-team is coaxed out from a patch of mud. Members of the "General Staff" (probably not the Grosse Generalstab) visit a ruined church. Sappers repair a trench blown in by British shells. Work in a sawmill and timber-yard. A dog kept as a mascot in the rear trenches. The headquarters of a front-line battalion in a deep dugout. A Cavalry commander, General von Laffert (?) with his staff beside a château. A mining operation in which sappers take sandbags into the forward trenches and carry earth away from the mine. A view over no man's land from the front trenches - a sniper fires across at the British. The rest of the troops take up position on the firing-step and open fire. (All the trenches are very well made and dry.)
