While we once owned this item, we did not auction it through eMoviePoster.com (which is why no price or date is listed) nor do we have it available for purchase. Triump des Willens (released in the U.S. as "Triumph of the Will"), the 1935 Leni Riefenstahl (movie actress who became a director for Hitler and made this film and "Olympiad") German pre-World War II (WWII) Nazi Nuremberg, Germany propaganda documentary. Note that this documentary presented Hitler and his accomplishments in a positive light, and is considered to have aided Hitler in his continuing rise to power, and his getting the German people to accept his plan for world conquest and extermination of many people. Note that this was not Riefenstahl's first documentary praising Hitler! In 1933, she directed Der Sieg des Glaubens ("The Victory of Faith"), which was extremely similar to this movie, but which included reference to Ernst Rohm. After Rohm was denounced and executed in 1934, all prints of that movie were destroyed (save one!), and in 1935, Riefenstahl remade that movie without reference to Rohm (and updated) and it was this movie, "Triumph of the Will". Note that this is a "conditional" movie. This refers to around 40 movies that were made in Germany between 1933 and 1945, during the time the Nazis were in power in Germany. These movies are considered to be propaganda movies, which glorify the Nazi regime and their ideals. Immediately after World War II, a list of over 100 movies that were made between 1933 and 1945 was created, and those movies were not allowed to be shown at any time in Germany or Austria. Over the next decade, around 60 of those movies were taken off the list so that they are allowed to be shown (but rarely are), and those movies are known as "forbidden movies", because even though they can now be shown, they could not be shown at all in the years right after World War II. The remaining 40 or so movies (including this one) are known as "conditional" movies, because they are still not allowed to be shown in Germany or Austria, even in the present day, with the sole exception being when they are shown in an educational context, like at a university, and a speaker talks before and after the movie.
