Difteri

1946 · 3 min

A brief, sober public-information piece that feels like a grim wartime newsreel, earnest and instructional rather than entertaining.

Overview
A propaganda film for diphtheria vaccination. The German armies brought a new and more dangerous form of diphtheria beyond the countries, and the refugees carried it on to war-torn Europe. It affects all age classes. Here too the country, and mortality is great. The Norwegian Serum Institute is in charge of vaccination.
