Conditions leading to the dust bowl on the American Great Plains

A homestead on a farm in the U.S. Great Plains. Horse carts break the plains. A woman sweeps stairs. A man and a child stand on the plains near the plow. An explosion on the land. World War 1 news headlines: 'England declares war on Germany, Belgium invaded, French win at sea' and 'War news tumbles securities, Stock Exchange Closed, Wheat Prices Soar'. A man drives a tractor with a plow on a plain land and dust cloud rises. The plow breaks the plains. News headlines: 'Wilson proclaims war, Spy ring arrested, German ships seized' and 'War sends wheat soaring, Grain up 13 points, Pit in Pandemonium'. The postwar decline of the wheat market results in overproduction: Farm machinery is used to sow the land. Wheat grains are poured into a thresher. A steamer at a sea. Tractors are driven and plows break the plains. A dust storm in the foreground during dust bowl era. Overproduction of wheat. Notice of 'Farms for Sale' in lower prices. Farm machinery is used. The sun rises in the background. A notice of 'Own a farm away from home'. Overproduction of wheat is shown. Over-exuberance in roaring 20s market is shown by a stock market or commodities market ticker running large amounts of ticker tape and a scene of a 1920s African American jazz musician drummer playing the drums enthusiastically and smiles while another band musician in the background plays bass.

Exchange German Prisoners of war return home to Stettin Germany, from Oran, Algeria during World War II

The Italian hospital ship, "Gradisca," arrives in Stettin harbour, in Germany, (Stettin on the Oder River, now Poland, Szczecin), during World War 2. She carries recuperating exchange German prisoners of war, back home from Oran, Algeria. They are greeted by medical staff and many well-wishers. Children run to the ship as it berths and throw flowers to the soldiers on deck. Wounded on stretchers are removed first. Then the ambulatory soldiers disembark amid warm welcome. Another steamship is seen approaching on the river. It is the Freigeleit. (Actually, this is the French ship,“Djenne,” in German possession, and it too is bringing exchange German POWs back from Oran.) German soldiers fill her upper decks. They play music on deck and celebrate their homecoming. (All the troops, congregating on their port sides, caused both the Gradisca, and the Freigeleit to list to port, somewhat, as they approach the pier.) A bouquet of flowers is raised to the deck of the Freigeleit, on a line, as she ties up. Red Cross nurses line up holding flowers, as sick or wounded soldiers are taken off the ship on stretchers. Then the remaining troops disembark and are greeted with flowers. Some troops write notes to be transmitted to loved ones. A military band plays on the pier. The soldiers board waiting railroad trains to continue their journey.
