The narrator describes the fall of France, leaving Britain almost defenceless. British forces are vastly outnumbered, but the British people are calm. The narrator explains that this is because in a democracy the people as a whole are involved in the decision to fight. Hitler's masterplan to subjugate Britain is described. Hitler begins by attacking convoys and ports, but fails to destroy them. The RAF are outnumbered "6 - 8 - 10 to one", but knock out far more planes than the Germans do. Bailed out British pilots are also able to return to the air, but German pilots are lost. Unlike the Dutch and Polish airforce Britain does not "make the mistake of bunching its planes on the runways".

Un remarquable documentaire cinématographique sur la montée du militarisme japonais, malgré les outrances inhérentes à tout film de propagande et à la xénophobie ambiante liée à la guerre.

Ne désirant pas s’engager sur deux fronts à la fois, Hitler s’est concentré jusqu’alors sur le front de l’Est en réfutant toute hostilité envers la France et la Grande-Bretagne. Mais une fois celui-ci stabilisé, il lance l’offensive à l’Ouest contre les Pays-Bas, la Belgique et bientôt la France…

Le film présente et analyse la stratégie allemande pour conquérir l’espace vital hitlérien. Il met en évidence toutes les bassesses orchestrées par Hitler pour étendre petit à petit son empire, malgré les pactes de non-agression signés avec la plupart des pays européens.

Dr. Karl Kassel (Paul Lukas) comes to America to rally support for the Nazi cause among German Americans. He instructs his audience at a German restaurant that the Führer has declared war on the evils of democracy and that, as Germans, they should carry out his wishes. Kurt Schneider (Francis Lederer), an unemployed malcontent, joins the cause and eventually becomes a spy for the group. A letter written by Schneider to a liaison in Scotland is intercepted by a British Military Intelligence officer (James Stephenson), leading to the ring's downfall.
