II. "Russian triumph and the price." Captured German film shows the evacuation of German units from the Taman Peninsula across the Straits of Kerch to the Crimea. Sappers dynamite the railway track during the withdrawal. Ack-ack opens up against attacking Russian planes; "German and Rumanian" Stukas dive-bomb Russian positions. Russian newsreel film complements German coverage of the war on the South Eastern front: grief-stricken women stand weeping beside the anti-tank ditch outside Taganrog which is filled with the corpses of massacred civilians; houses stand devastated in the Donbass area; dead Germans lie beside their weapons. Soundtrack plays the new Soviet national anthem as a tribute to the Russian people as film shows Red Army soldiers being greeted by civilians in (unidentified) liberated towns. Guns in Moscow fire a salute.
