The British Broadcasting Corporation’s television program last night gave British viewers scenes of the new German Army on parade and later, on the same channel, by accident or design, showed scenes of the Warsaw Ghetto some 12 years ago and the dispatch of transports to the death camps. The historical scenes were taken from a German film made at the time.
In showing the new German Army, the BBC correspondent interviewed one officer who fought for Hitler in Norway and Poland and who expressed his delight at being back in uniform.
In the later program, the Ghetto scenes were shown as background to news clips taken by a BBC camera team in Warsaw showing construction of huge blocks of apartments on the site of the old Ghetto.
There was one glimpse of Polish workers passing to and from their apartments before a small monument, the Menorah set in a stone block.
