Note(s)
Bookburning scenes here are largely different from what is usually seen, and much longer. Extensive views here of SA men near the fire, also university students in their club uniforms. Different views of tossing books near the fire, supplying material, but not as much throwing books directly on the fire. See Film ID 148 and Film ID 150 for "Der gelbe Stern" with sound and narration. See Story 3716, Film ID 2576 or Story 2739, Film ID 2430 for entire film. The segments for this 16mm master (Film ID 149) are spliced together in a different order than the Betacam SP and VHS copies. They can be separated if necessary. This story appears second on the 16mm master.
