The Nazis saw film as a major vehicle for both indoctrination
and escapist pacification of the "masses"; in fact, Propaganda
Minister Joseph Goebbels tried to create a German
counter-Hollywood. This highly acclaimed study, by one of Germany's
leading commentators and authors on cultural policy, analyses the
pictorial and spoken language of the various film genres in the
Third Reich, including news reels, documentaries, feature and
"cultural" films. It shows how a powerful and sinister propaganda
machine emerged which, by deploying a wide range of psychological
techniques, exerted a strong fascination on the masses. These
methods were so successful that they continue to serve as models
for totalitarian regimes to this day.
