Trophies of the Great Battles. Exhibition in Moscow, 1943

On the 22nd of June 1943, exactly two years after the Nazi Germany invaded the USSR, the central park of Moscow, bearing the name of Maxim Gorky, opened its gates to an extensive exhibition over the trophied armaments of NaziGermany and its accomplices. The exhibition lasted until 1948. A short cinematographic essay, filmed in colour, presented the visible testimony over the ongoing victories on the battlefield over the invading horde. The essay is full of jabs and snide remarks, mixed with facts and figures just the way we like to watch the parallel presentday events unfold now, 80 years later.
