This book exposes the myths surrounding the propaganda films produced during the Third Reich: that the Nazis were infallible masters in the use of film propaganda; that everything the Nazis said was a lie; that only the Riefenstahl documentaries are significant to the modern viewer. It reveals the truth, lies, successes, and failures of key films designed to arouse hostility towards the Nazis' enemies. Including analysis of all the key films produced by the Nazi regime and a wealth of film stills, Ian Garden takes the reader on a journey through the Nazi propaganda machine.
