Probably the most important task of television in the Third Reich was to supply information to the soldiers, especially those in the military hospitals. The Kalenderblätter (calendar pages) were a sort of news journal that brought a colourful potpourri of reassuring and edifying reports from the homeland. This specific broadcast tries to capture an idyllic summer's month in Berlin, which strongly contrasts with the war that was already basically lost.
