Zoppot 1942 - Strand - Sightseeing - Wagner Festspiele - Drachentöter

Zoppot bei Danzig im August 1942. Urlaub am Meer, während des Krieges. Wir sehen Strandbad, Promenade, Aufnahmen aus dem Ort, die Kurgarten-Bühne mit einem Konzertnachmittag des "Grossdeutschen Rundfunks". Auf der Bühne der Waldoper gibt es Eindrücke von den Wagner-Festspielen 1942 und Siegfried dem Drachentöter in Aktion. In den Filmaufnahmen spiegelt sich die private Geschichte der Familie von Werner und Elfriede Kronenberg. Werner hat an der technischen Hochschule Danzig studiert und war während des Krieges mit der Kamera in halb Süd-Ost Europa bis ans Schwarze Meer unterwegs. Die gemeinsame Zeit des Paares erscheint auf den Filmaufnahmen trotz des Krieges zumeist idyllisch. Die Aufnahmen reichen bis in den Spätsommer 1944. Werner Kronenberg, zeichnet auch für viele der qualitätiv herausragenden Berlin-Filme verantwortlich, die in unserer Berlin-Playlist zu sehen sind. Film footage of Zoppot and it´s baltic seafront near Gdansk, today Sopot in Poland, back then in Germany. The scenes show us the beaches of the baltic sea and the decent village and a private perspective into the life of the cameramans family, to Elfriede and Werner Kroneberg from Danzig Langfuhr. During wwII Kronenberg took his camera as a so called "student soldier" throughout o south-east Europe and to the Black Sea and to the USSR, you´ll find his filmworks in our playlist wwII. He is also the creator of some of the most amazing films among our Berlin collection. requests/Anfragen: [e-mail]

Piękne niemki przechadzały sie po molo w Sopocie. Kulturalni niemcy brali udział w Wagner Festspiele. W tym samym czasie, 300 km na południe od Sopotu , w Warszawie, w ramach tzw. wielkiej akcji wysiedleńczej od 22 lipca do 21 września 1942 wywieźli niemcy dziesiatki tysięcy żydów do Treblinki do gazu.

The piece was composed by Fryderyk Chopin, not Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, this is a huge difference.

Amazing footage

[@kubabarbas5436]

Amazing historical footage with a great personal touch because of this couple. Thank you so much for posting. I don't know how you find diese Filmschatze in 2021? All places shown in this one are particularly close to me. Last tram stop in Glettkau (Jelitkowo), then the park and restaurant Parkowa with today non existent pier. Than the view toward Sopot where somewhere between my future housing estate will be built in the 60. Being born in Gdansk in the 70 I had to learn its true history. I'd like to ask the Poles (I am too) commenting here about the German atrocities to stop it and go somewhere else. This is a documentary/history channel. I am glad I could see how places dear to me looked 80 years ago. And to @filmschatze - the example of 'Bloody Sunday' you chose to use to defend 'the Germans" is unfortunately historically false. And even if it was true how the events of September 1939 unfolded in Bromberg - comparing 6mln Polish victims vs what happened in Bromberg is slightly inappropriate.

[@thetruth495]

There were massacres in Bromberg - it's not historically false, it's true and proven. However, it's obvious that the German retaliation was disproportionate.

[@kylemore9142]

Brief glimpse at 0.46 of a warship on the horizon, from her profile she is clearly a pre-first world war "pre-dreadnought". Could she be the "Schleswig-Holstein" which fired the first shots of the German-Polish war in 1939? By 1942 she was a training vessel.

[@callsigndd9ls897]

Yes, it can be the "Schleswig-Holstein", but also her sister ship "Schlesien". At that time both sailed only as training ships and in winter also as ice breakers, mostly in the Baltic Sea, as they were already too old and slow for a war fighting (launched 1905/6). The third sister ship "Hessen" was a remote-controlled target ship at the time and looked different. Information about all three ships can also be found in English on Wikipedia.

[@kylemore9142]

@@callsigndd9ls897 Thanks for the information. The people look so relaxed as if they hadn't a care in the world! Also very few uniforms about.

[@callsigndd9ls897]

@@kylemore9142 Yes, it was still relatively peaceful in the east at the time. The range of the Allied bombers was too short to attack targets in eastern Germany and the fronts on which the fighting was taking place were still thousands of miles away. The war did not reach this region until late 1944, early 1945.

I think that they also appear in a film on Berlin 1944... Probably a visit to relatives, possessing a beautiful house and a car... Perhaps they survive the war, but as many Germans died between September 44 and may 45 than on the entire period September 39 to May 45. The price of fanaticism..

@@egeskov552 Many did not know about it in 1942, and the Nazis shielded the camps from the public. I know from my mother, who was sent with her school class to a farm near Lodz (Litzmannstadt), because her hometown was bombed by the British almost every day. Once the girls were walking through a forest and thought they saw a large factory. Suddenly SS soldiers came, drove the children away and scolded with the teacher. Only after the war did she find out that it was the Lodz concentration camp that she had seen in the distance. The entrances to these camps were cordoned off kilometers beforehand.

[@jankosaciec5091]

@@bluebear6570 This is not true. The Germans were not forced to leave in 1920. They simply left because they didn't want to live in Poland. But some stayed, especially landowners and entrepreneurs, because they didn't want to lose their property. If some of your relatives were killed at the beginning of the war then of course it is very sad indeed but do not forget how many Poles were murdered not to forget about Jewish people who were murdered because the so called greatest warlord of all times had conceived an insane theory of racism. War is the worst thing that can happen and we should simply do all possible to prevent wars from happening.
