[Milsurplus] More on that Radio Berlin film

[Hubert Miller]

I understand some may already be tired of this subject. Use delete key now.

Some others besides myself may find some of this interesting. I tend to find interesting things that are a bit mysterious or less known.
After the last exchanges of emails, I wondered if I had anything really.
My previous attempts to see anything in the film frames were not encouraging. Looked like just buildings and maybe landscapes.
Today I unspooled by hand a score of footage and used a totally inadequate home use magnifying glass to try to get a better view.
There is no "title page". I think possibly some early footage was damaged and discarded. There is a credits page, "Darsteller Rolf Gerth..."
und mehrehre andere Namen. ( ...and several other names. ) The film itself does not smell, is flexible, and has side text, "Agfa Sicherheits Film
....Agfa Safety Film."  Farther in, the landscapes now show several radio towers. There is one scene of a room full of electric motors. One scene
with some tubing "may" show water cooled transmitter tubes. The last frames I looked at "may" have shown a large radio coil.
So I think, and hope, this film may have some historical interest on the history of broadcasting.
The film spool itself is only 7 inches across. Oh yes, it's also labeled "Tobis Klangfilm", so it is not a silent.
The film can has been reused; the original label reads "Airplane recognition 1943".
