National Library of Medicine | Hohenkrankheit [Silent] (Producer not identified, 1929?) @NLMNIH | Uploaded June 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Title translates in English as "altitude sickness." A man wearing a hat folded from newspaper is writing on a piece of paper. A hand reaches in and places a breathing apparatus in the man's mouth. Other men are shown wearing aviator goggles, writing on paper, and using the breathing apparatus. One man repeatedly holds his hands out from his body, examining their movement. Some of the people in the film wear white coats, suggesting they are scientists or doctors. In the final frames, three men and a woman, all in white coats, are outside, smiling and handling a camera and what appears to be a length of string. This film was made approximately one year after the Deutsche Forschungsrat für Luftfahrt (German Aeronautics Research Council) was founded.
