Visitors to an outdoor display, to look at a crashed German Me 109 fighter plane, during the Battle of Britain in World War 2. The plane is under a camouflage net canopy. A sign in front of the plane reads 'made in Germany and finished in England'. Royal Air Force Sergeants and civilians look at it. Sergeants turn the propeller blades, which are severely bent, and point at bullet holes in the aircraft. A sign on the fence surrounding the display reads: "In Aid of the local Spitfire Fund." An RAF pilot climbs into the cockpit of the Me 109, as another helps close its canopy. Later, the RAF pilots examine the plane's wing flaps and an open wing hatch.
British ships seized by Germany on high seas. View of the English Steamer "Yarrowdale," with cargo of ammunition (5,800 tons) and 100 new trucks. (Note: This ship was later taken to Swinemünde by Lieutenant D.R. Badewitz.) Yarrowdale's occupants are seen crowding her deck. The English Steamer, "St.Theodore," carrying 7366 tons of coal for the Italians, is halted and is commanded to follow the SMS Möwe. (Note: The Germans later refitted this ship as the auxiliary Steamer, "Geier.") View from the Cruiser Moewe, as the St. Theodore follows in fairly rough seas.
