Plot:
S.A.-Mann Brand (Storm
Trooper Brand) presents the story of a truck driver, Fritz Brand, who joins the
National-Socialist S.A. (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.
The
Brand and Baum families live in a Munich tenement. Father Brand, a Social
Democrat, scorns his son (Fritz) for joining the the National-Socialist S.A. (Storm Detachment).
Anni Bauman is, like her parents, a member of the Communist Party. Nevertheless,
she is attracted to Fritz Brand, and when she is given an assignment to trap
him, she lets him in on the party's schemes. As the National-Socialists are
raiding a Communist cache, Fritz is wounded in crossfire. On his hospital bed,
father and son come back together, and Anni opens up to Fritz. Following his
discharge, the shock troops march through the residential quarter, and in the
midst of it a colleague of Brand Lohner is shot by a Communist. The film ends
with the electoral victory of the National-Socialists and the arrest of their
political enemies.
