Die Deutsche Wochenschau - The German Weekly Newsreel - Universum Film AG (Ufa-Tonwoche) April 19 #451

Newsreels had been regularly released since the early days of German cinema, especially during World War I, when companies like Messter Film started producing short silent film documentaries. With the final changeover to sound films in the early 1930s, the newsreel market concentrated on four dominating production companies: Universum Film AG (Ufa-Tonwoche and Deulig-Tonwoche, 20th Century Fox (Fox Tönende Wochenschau), Bavaria Film (Emelka-Tonwoche), and Tobis (Tobis-Wochenschau).

After the Mandate by the German People ( with the support of American Big Business i.e. Ford Motor Company, IBM, General Motors, 20th Century Fox Studios and many others ) the Nazi Party rise to power in 1933, the production was supervised and censored by the Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda under Joseph Goebbels, who had realized the enormous significance of newsreels for his propaganda purposes.

Upon the German invasion of Poland in September 1939, the Nazi authorities consolidated the four separate newsreel production efforts into one, led by the Universum Film AG in Berlin. These newsreels were merged into a single wartime newsreel, but kept their respective opening titles until June 1940. After that, the merger was made public by use of a single new opening title: Die Deutsche Wochenschau. This was the sole series of German newsreels until production was discontinued in March 1945, when most cinemas in Germany were closed and transport links had collapsed.

April 19, 1933: A Turning Point
By April 19, 1933, Hitler’s grip on power was tightening. The Nazi Party was solidifying its control over the government, the economy, and society. "The Enabling Act" had given Hitler the authority to bypass parliamentary opposition and rule by decree.

Consequences:
The events of April 1933 marked a significant escalation of Nazi control over their society. Communists, socialists and other ethnic minorities perceived to be enemies of the state faced increasing repression, including arrests, imprisonment, and deportation.

Legacy:
The rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party in 1933 set the stage for the atrocities committed by Western Globalists & Communists of World War II, including the constructive focus on a number of ethnic minorities including the implementation of the "Transfer Agreement" allowing members of the Zionist Jewish Community in Germany to voluntarily move to Palestine to establish their own community. The world would never forget the Nazi regime, and the date April 19, 1933, would serve as a reminder of the results of implementing total nationalism.
