Abstract:
This is the most comprehensive analysis to date of Nazi film propaganda in its political, social and economic contexts, from the pre-war cinema as it fell under the control of the Propaganda Minister, Joseph Goebbels, through to the end of World War II. David Welch studies more than one hundred films of all types, identifying those aspects of Nazi ideology that were concealed in the framework of popular entertainment. He demonstrates how the films sponsored by Goebbels were carefully coordinated for political ends, and eventually used as a trusted and powerful weapon in the Nazi propaganda arsenal._x000D_ _x000D_ 'A thorough analysis of the theory and use of Nazi film ... establishes a secure place for the author among the distinguished corps of English film historians' - *American Historical Review*.
