Andrew Thorndike & Annelie Thorndike - Urlaub auf Sylt AKA Holiday on Sylt (1959) This hard-hitting indictment is possibly the most successful of the Thorndike series, The Archives Testify. Diligent research among Nazi film, law, and literary archives, revealed the then mayor of a popular West German resort town on the island on Sylt to have been a leading SS general, perpetrator of war crimes (visually documented), and the man who broke the resistance movement in Warsaw. A pounding, factual, and authoritative sound track - pointing to documents, files, letters, photographs, and newsreels - is cross-cut with pictures of corpses, executions, and interviews with survivors. According to Jay Leyda’s book, Films Beget Films, two West German cameramen were sentenced to jail for having tricked the Mayor into allowing an interview for what they knew to be (but he did not) this film.
