Note(s)

  • See Stories 3274 through 3281 on Film ID 2502A for entire film "Dasein ohne Leben." See Michael Burleigh, "Death & Deliverance," pp.197-200. Says film was probably completed during 1941, "as it was shown, along with the raw material [Hermann] Schweninger had shot, grouped now along rough thematic lines, to a select audience on 10 May 1942." Reports that the film has vanished, but he discovered 8 "of the 23 rolls Schweninger shot for these films, complete with soundtracks,... in 1989-1990... in Potsdam."
