Nazi film, based on the life of Horst Wessel, the Nazi folk hero.

To whom do the streets belong? Communists or National Socialists? It is 1929, and the fate of Germany lies in the streets of Berlin. Amidst violent demonstrations orchestrated by both extremist groups emerges a young SA hero named Hans Westmar in this heavily fictionalized biography of Horst Wessel, author of the Nazi anthem, "Die Fahne hoch" ("Raise the Banners High" or "The Horst Wessel Song").

Film was eventually released under the title "Hans Westmar" because the party felt that it failed to do justice to the Horst Wessel myth. It is an interesting portrayal of the struggle for control in Berlin between the Nazis and the Communists as seen through Nazi eyes.
