Summary:

GERMAN BLUFF Part of the film issued by the German Government to Neutral Nations illustrates the 'kindness' of the Hun soldier to the Belgian women and children. Of course this scene is carefully acted for the camera. A Belgian family (parents and two girls) is met on the road by two German soldiers. One inspects the papers of the father and the other makes friends with the two girls and gives them something. The family then pass along their way.
