Camera As War Weapon
How Germany la Exploiting It
The Germans, by flooding the world with pictures designed to impress neutrals with the might and invincibility of their war machine, have proved that the camera is one of the most effec- tive of modern weapons..
Faked Battle Scenes
The cameraman is an integral part of the German army. Every division has its film unit, charged with the duty of securing battle shots. These are poured into all the neutral Ameri- can countries, Scandinavia, Russia and the Balkans.
There is evidence that they have had, and are having, considerable effect.
Screen propaganda is all the more impressive because people believe the camera cannot lie. Actually nothing can be manipulated so easily. The Nazis skill in faking is emphasised by the American journal, Film News.
"German war newarcels," it suya, "appear as dehumanised, machine- age spectacles, terrific in fireworks,' devold of the realities of mutilation and death, Tanks and aircraft des troy enemy fortifications, No one is hurt. From a distance a town is gutted by bombs. No one is killed,"
Nazi film propaganda is pouring Into the United States by every Clipper, the largest single "importer being Fox Movietone,
Effective use of the camera is op- parently not yet realised in Britain. Correspondents- have lately been allowed to accompany reconnaissance 'planes and a motor torpedo-boat. If the same privilege were granted to.] cameramen it would be possible to give the world fascinating and con vincing evidence of the magnificent work of the R.A.F and the Royal Navy in beating off air raiders and attacks on convoys.
