Scenes of Mahatma Gandhi associated with end of his imprisonment and 21-day fast in India
Indian political leader Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi also called "Mahatma Gandhi," recovering from his imprisonment and 21-day fast to promote improved lives for India's Dalits, aka "untouchables," whom Gandhi calls "Harijan" (roughly equivalent to children of God). Mahatma Gandhi walks with his wife Kasturba Gandhi and a few other people, across a field towards a hospital building. In next scene, Gandhi stands in a rail car being interviewed. Then, in a formal public interview inside an auditorium, he is heard speaking and describes himself as a "soldier of peace." Glimpse of Gandhi seated outdoors under a canopy of nationalist flags, in 1932. Scene shifts back,again, to the rail car interview, where he is being seen off by well-wishers. He is then seen in a hospital where he is asked about his notions of eliminating the Indian caste system. (Film ends before any reply.)

Slate (in German) reads German rocket pioneer engineer Reinhard Tilling shot one of his rockets, on Tempelhof Feld near Berlin, 800 meters into the air. The rocket landed 500 meters away from the launch site, on November 13, 1932. Change of scene shows men standing in a boat on Lake Dümmersee as they retrieve a Tilling postal rocket from the water.
