On Screen and Off shows that the making of Nazism was a local
affair and the Nazi city a product of more than models and plans
emanating from Berlin. In Hamburg, film was key in turning this
self-styled "Gateway to the World" into a "Nazi city." The Nazi
regime imagined film as a powerful tool to shape National Socialist
subjects. In Hamburg, those very subjects chanced upon film culture
as a seemingly apolitical opportunity to articulate their own ideas
about how Nazism ought to work. Tracing discourses around film
production and film consumption in the city, On Screen and Off
illustrates how Nazi ideology was envisaged, imagined, experienced,
and occasionally even fought over. Local authorities in Hamburg,
from the governor Karl Kaufmann to youth wardens and members of the
Hamburg Film Club, used debates over cinema to define the reach and
practice of National Socialism in the city. Film thus engendered a
political space in which local activists, welfare workers, cultural
experts, and administrators asserted their views about the current
state of affairs, articulated criticism and praise, performed their
commitment to the regime, and policed the boundaries of the
Volksgemeinschaft. Of all the championed "people's products," film
alone extended the promise of economic prosperity and cultural
preeminence into the war years and beyond the city's destruction.
From the ascension of the Nazi regime through the smoldering
rubble, going to the movies grounded normalcy in the midst of
rupture.
