An Original Vintage German Film Program (measures 8 3/4" x 11 1/2" [22 x 29 cm]; 8 pages) (Learn More) 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.

Also note that we have provided an image of four of the pages of this 8-page program (we did this by opening it and laying it flat and photographing the front and back cover together, and two of the interior pages together). You can see the four of the eight pages, and can well determine the exact condition of it from our super-sized image, but realize that there are four pages you are not seeing. But of course this means that the front cover appears in the top right of our image, but normally, the program would be folded down the center and you would view the cover by itself (and it will be sent folded as was originally intended). Condition: very good. There is slight glue residue down the extreme edge of the spine (where the program was once attached to something), but otherwise, the program is in nice condition.
