Tonwoche №481 (1939)

A propaganda sketch about the fight against baggage.

A young man meets an acquaintance, an elderly man named Ludwig, who is covered with many bags, at a store.

Ludwig sees a queue to get into the store and pulls his acquaintance over to see what else he can buy.

For some reason, the girl in the store takes all of Ludwig's purchases with words of gratitude.

It turns out that he was in the queue to receive donations for the NSW (National Socialist Charity) organization.
