# 'Mussert spreekt' (NSB film title card)

Title card of 'Mussert spreekt' ('Mussert speaks'), a 1941 film by the NSB's own film service about its leader Anton Mussert. Beeld en Geluid's shot log says it retells the movement's founding and first rallies, with the Dutch flag raised, the Wilhelmus sung and a march-past before 'the Leader', so the leader is presented through national symbols.
