Italian aviator, General Francesco de Pinedo, attempts takeoff in his Bellanca airplane, named the Santa Lucia. The Italian flag is painted on the aircraft rudder. The ship is heavily laden with fuel for a solo long-distance flight from Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn, New York, to Baghdad, Iraq. The aircraft is seen to wander during the takeoff roll and with loss of control, crashes near a fence alongside the runway. The aircraft breaks into pieces, and with one wing sticking straight up in the air, begins to burn. It is immediately consumed in fire. Vehicles rush to the scene. Hangar number 6, at Floyd Bennett field, can be seen in background, with "Erickson and Remmert, Inc." painted on it. De Pinedo died in the accident.

Opens with German troops, including World War I veterans, parading before Crown Prince Wilhelm. The Imperial flag displayed on the reviewing stand. Scene shifts abruptly to Adolf Hitler at an outdoor podium giving an impassioned speech and then jumps to a nighttime torch light rally and parade of Nazi SA (Sturmabteilung) Storm troopers. Their leader, Ernst Röhm, presents them to Adolf Hitler, who is standing on raised platform. He and Röhm exchange Nazi salutes and Hitler shakes his hand. Hitler continues saluting the passing parade of SA marchers. An inordinately large faint image of Deputy Führer, Rudolf Hess is seen off to the right , while Hitler is clearly silhouetted against the black night background.

Und niemals ermüden. Und niemals verzagen. Und niemals verzweifeln.” (And for this people, and for the sake of this people, we will struggle and fight. And never slaken, never tire, never lose courage, and never lose faith.)
