The film presents the story of a truck driver, Fritz Brand, who joins the Nazi Sturmabteilung to defend Germany against communist subversion orchestrated from Moscow. He persuades his social circle of the imminent danger and the need to support Hitler in the federal election.
A review in The New York Times noted favorably the film's production value and the absence of any anti-Semitic message but also expressed contempt for its unsophisticated plot.[1]
