Скачать или смотреть INDUSTRIAL FAIR IN SYRIA - NO SOUND

(16 Sep 1956)

International industrial fair at Damascus, Syria. Flags of all the different nations which exhibited here at Damascus waved over the fair grounds. Not only the Western world was represented. but also all the eastern states, Soviet Russia even exhibited a helicopter to be used for spreading of insecticides. German automobiles as Mercedes, Volkswagen and BMW are to be seen. It looks rather strange when the Arabs in their native clothes stand in front of a typical Netherland building. The natives of Damascus generally visit the fair grounds at night time and then the exhibition resembles a crowded festival. When the German air ways company "Lufthansa" made their inauguration flight to the middle east, our cameraman was invited and grasped the opportunity to shoot this fair. Various shots of the stadium. water Fountain. Pylons. Cars along road. Water fountains, very good shots.
