'What would happen if by any means a German army should land in Australia? The question is not very difficult to answer, if one imagines the nameless horror perpetrated on helpless Belgians and Poles in the name of Kultur. Think for a moment of a repetition of the dreadful nightmare here in Adelaide! Picture those nearest and dearest to you at the mercy of the merciless Hun! Think of the un-dreamed-of possibilities, of the remorseless and wanton destruction of our beautiful cities! Imagine our beautiful public buildings, our stately churches, our treasured squares and gardens laid in smoking ruins! That is what the producer of a remarkable moving picture, entitled "If the Huns came to Melbourne" have [sic] set out to bring in a vivid manner before our eves. The result is a pictorial achievement that Australia may well be proud of. Every incident has been carefully thought out and faithfully reproduced. It teems with surprises, thrills, and sensations.'
