Résumé
Contexte et analyse
June 17, the "Day of German Unity", was until the 1960s the central day of the "Kuratorium Ungeteiltes Deutschland" (Unified Germany) and was a public holiday in Westgermany until 1990. This day recalled the popular uprising in the GDR in 1953. Founded in 1954, the Kuratorium set itself the goal of "gaining the support of" the Americans "for German unity through the expression of the German people. The will of the people for unity had not become visible at the Berlin Conference in 1954, the foreign ministers' meeting of the four victorious powers, complained the former FDP chairman Thomas Dehler, who was also a member of the board of trustees. The demands of the Kuratorium were a thorn in the eye of the Adenauer camp in the CDU, for which the primacy of the West bond before the reunification was valid. Among the members were prominent politicians, among others the Federal Minister for all-German questions, Jakob Kaiser, the SPD parliamentary group leader Herbert Wehner and Federal Minister for special tasks, Franz Josef Strauss.
Between 1959 and 1967, the "Fahnenstaffel der deutschen Jugend zur Zonengrenze" ranked among the main activities of them - exemplified by the event in Philippsburg, a flag surrender that took place on 25 May 1963. Shaking hands at first - the film about the event pans and cuts a little between the groups, the representatives of the city, the parties and people who gather. An announcement in the Philippsburger Stadtanzeiger had informed that the relay from Saarbrücken to the zone border touched also Philippsburg. There, with a small celebration, the flags should be handed over to the next group.
The cyclists come in a long shot in the view, they are dismounted, push their wheels to the meeting place, ahead of all two young men holding the banner with the words "Indivisible Germany". Behind them, the youths turn the corner with the country flags, 23 in number, including the flags of the former Prussian provinces east of the Oder-Neisse border. The flag squadrons started several weeks before the holiday to bring next to the flags a parchment scroll to the next station, in which the local dignitaries registered. The organizers counted tens of thousands of active people year after year. To conclude, a central rally took place in West Berlin every year, broadcast by radio and television.

Although the total number of participants in the rallies was considerable - in 1963 the million-mark threshold is likely to have been exceeded - it was criticized that the vast majority of the population stayed away from the actions and drove into the countryside on public holiday.
On the market square in Philippsburg, too, rather few spectators come into view, when the film continues to follow the ritual of surrendering the flag.
