The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Bleeding Germany (German: Blutendes Deutschland) is a 1933 German propaganda documentary film by Johannes Häussler. Two versions were made, a shorter edit in December 1932 and a second cut released shortly after the Nazi seizure of power in late March 1933. Presented in montage form, sources include old photographs, documents and newsreels. A second section, entitled "Germany Awakens" traced the history of the Nazi party up to the March 1933 German federal election. The film traces Germany's history from the Franco-Prussian War, the founding of the German Empire, the First World War, the occupation of the Ruhr, the martyrdoms of Albert Leo Schlageter, Horst Wessel and others, the rise of Hitler, the foundation of the Harzburg Front and their eventual victory.
