Hans Westmar. Einer von vielen. Ein deutsches Schicksal aus dem Jahre 1929 (English: Hans Westmar. One of many. A German Destiny from the Year 1929) was the last of an unofficial trilogy of films commissioned by the Nazis shortly after coming to power in January 1933, celebrating their Kampfzeit - a mythologized history of their period in opposition, struggling to gain power. The film is a thinly veiled retelling of the life of the famous Nazi martyr Horst Wessel.

Plot

The film concentrates on the conflict with the Communist Party in Berlin in the late 1920s. When Westmar arrives in Berlin the communists, whose leaders include a stereotypical Jew, are popular, holding large parades through Berlin singing The Internationale. When he looks into the cultural life of Wiemar Berlin, he is horrified at the "internationalism" and cultural promiscuity, which includes black jazz music and Jewish nightclub singers. This scene dissolves into images of the German fighting men of World War I, and shots of the cemeteries of the German dead.

Westmar decides to help organize the local Nazi party, and becomes, through the course of the plot, responsible for their electoral victories, which encourages the Communists to kill him.
