- DirectorVeit HarlanWolfgang LiebeneinerStarsHeinrich GeorgeKristina SöderbaumHorst CasparDuring Napoleon's German campaign, the city of Kolberg is isolated from Prussian forces. Residents organize resistance against the French army besieging and bombarding the city, refusing to surrender.Wow!!! This is by far the best Nazi propaganda movie. The Nazi hierarchy knew that they could not win the war in early 1942. Hitler was the only one who was 100% convinced they still had a chance and insisted that as long as there was still 10,000 German soldiers giving up there lives everyday the war would continue. This film is based on a true story about Naploeans army retreating due to the town folk of Prussia raising arms to fend them off. This films was to inspire the German people to fight the Russians when they reach Berlin and not surrender.
- DirectorHerbert SelpinWerner KlinglerStarsSybille SchmitzHans NielsenKirsten HeibergThird Reich's Nazi propaganda epic about a heroic fictional German officer on board of the RMS Titanic. On its maiden voyage in April 1912, the supposedly unsinkable ship hits an iceberg in the Atlantic Ocean and starts to go down.This film was commissioned by Joesph Goebbells the Nazi minister of propaganda. The writer/director of this film was killed the Nazi's but the Nazis's tried to claim it was suicide (research this). Also Titanic was the most expensive German production up until that time, costing more than 4 million reichsmarks (an equivalent of almost $200,000,000 in today's currency). There is alot of good history reading to be discovered here!!!
- DirectorFritz HipplerStarsCurt BoisCharles ChaplinAlbert EinsteinUnder the guise of a brutally honest documentary, this malevolent propaganda film aims to be an "indispensable tool in the hands of the Aryan race", designed to depict the "true" Jew when the masks of western civilisation fall off.Many will say that this is the most Anti-Semitic film piece in history. This film was commissioned by Goebbells to convince the German people that Jews where bad and they where better off without them.
