Here, Bill Niven offers a powerful argument for reconsidering Hitler's fascination with film as a means to further the Nazi agenda. In this first English-language work to fully explore Hitler's influence on and relationship with film in Nazi Germany, the author calls on a broad array of archival sources. Arguing that Hitler was as central to the Nazi film industry as Goebbels, Niven also explores Hitler's representation in Third Reich cinema, personally and through films focusing on historical figures with whom he was associated, and how Hitler's vision for the medium went far beyond "straight propaganda." He aimed to raise documentary film to a powerful art form rivaling architecture in its ability to reach the masses. 606 $aNational socialism and motion pictures 606 $aMotion picture industry$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aMotion pictures$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aGermany$2fast 607 $aUnited States$2fast 615 0$aNational socialism and motion pictures. 615 0$aMotion picture industry$xHistory 615 0$aMotion pictures$xPolitical aspects$xHistory 676 $a791.43651 700 $aNiven$b Bill, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0498266 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795561603321 996 $aHitler and Film$93827167 997 $aUNINA
