Description

Von Hamburg bis Stralsund (From Hamburg to Stralsund) (1950) is an East German documentary directed by Andrew Thorndike. Running at approximately 35 minutes, the film contrasts the rebuilding of shipyards in East Germany with the dismantling of shipbuilding industries in West Germany.

Produced by DEFA, the film reflects the divided post-war state of Germany and serves as a historical document of the era's political and industrial climate.
