Blut und Boden – Grundlagen zum neuen Reich (English: Blood and soil – Foundations for the New Reich[3]) is a 1933 German short propaganda film that illustrates the Nazi concept of "Blood and Soil".
The documentary uses both animation and montage to present the case that the German farmer is suffering because alleged Jewish financial interests flood the market with foreign produce, refuse to lend money for the manufacture of farming equipment and foreclose on people's farms.
An unseen narrator encourages viewers to purchase only domestic goods and return to rural agrarian life.
The depression-era trend of urbanization is condemned as a path to further poverty, decadence, and sub-replacement fertility.
The film ultimately predicts Berlin's population dwindling to 90,000 by 2050, if immigration to the city had been blocked.
