This 1959 U.S. Army film details West Germany’s recovery following the destruction of World War II. Produced during the Cold War, the film looks at the role of the U.S. Army in rebuilding the country and contrasts the story of a democratic and capitalist West Germany with a communist East Germany. The film also covers the Berlin airlift, and ends with a September 1959 visit to West Germany by President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
