An Original Vintage German Film Program (measures 9" x 11 1/2" [23 x 29 cm]; 8 pages) (Learn More) Hans Westmar, the 1933 Franz Wenzler German Nazi propaganda anti-Communist biographical melodrama (a fictionalized biography of a Nazi Storm Trooper who helped attack and kill Communists and other Nazi enemies, and he was himself killed by Communists, which prompted this biography of him) starring Emil Lohkamp (in the title role as Hans Westmar), Paul Wegener, Heinrich Heilinger, Irmgard Willers, and Otti Dietze. Note that this is a "forbidden" movie. This refers to around 60 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 (including this one) 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 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. All of the "forbidden" movies and "conditional" movies glorify Nazism in some respect, or they were created by directors or featured actors who were prominently associated with the Nazi party.

Also note that this item has been trimmed and it now measures 9" x 11 1/2" [23 x 29 cm]. 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: good to very good. The program was once in a bound volume and it was slightly trimmed on the top and bottom, and there is tiny paper loss in several places in the spine, where it was once attached to the bound volume.
