| Summary: | "Hitler and the Nazis saturated their country with many types of propaganda to convince the German citizenry that the Nazi ideology was the only ideology. As Joseph Goebbels, who was in charge of propaganda for Nazi Germany, said, "The essence of propaganda consists in winning people over to an idea so sincerely, so vitally, that in the end they succumb to it utterly and can never escape from it." One type of propaganda on which the Nazis relied heavily was cinematic." "This work focuses primarily on Nazi propaganda feature films and feature-length documentaries made in Germany between 1933 and 1945 and released to the public. Some of them were Staatsanftragsfilme, films produced by order of and financed by the Third Reich. This combination history and filmography is a complete resource on the films and those who made them."--BOOK JACKET. |
