The Third Reich's Celluloid War

Propaganda in Nazi Feature Films, Documentaries and Television

Ian Garden
The Nazi ban on foreign films and tight censorship has meant that German movies of the era have often been dismissed as being of no merit, except as examples of effective propaganda. This study presents a more nuanced interpretation, reviewing many of the key feature films and documentaries and analysing the sometimes subtle ways they shaped the opinions of the German people.

Product information
Full publisher description
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 against the Nazis' enemies. Including analysis of many of 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.
