The 1938 Harvest Festival as researched by Lutz Becker. The full documentary, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, was part of the syllabus of a famous course at Harvard known by students as "Krauts and Doubts". Newsreels are presented without commentary and without obvious ex post facto musical cues telling the viewer what to think. Swastika provides a window into the Reich as average citizens would have perceived it, enabling a better psychological understanding of Nazi propaganda. For this reason it is controversial and is banned in Germany today.

Heimdall, did this come from April. Unbelievably beautiful--the Aryan families, the women in sauna--the vast throngs to view and hear Hitler. Compare this to the Kwa sicknesses in norcalkwas excellent The Changing of Normal. This is the fight in which we are engaged. It is monumental and of profound hstorical import for Our Race. It is this last battle for Our Very Survival, and even it will be waged, in some large part, against those of Our Race who have consciously or unconsciously chosen sides against us.

Great footage isn't it? I

Great footage isn't it? I found this on YT http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xc7wRHSoXwY looking for the "Television Under The Swastika" video.

More notes:

In one of the DVD extras, Lutz Becker describes how, at the age of 19, he discovered Eva Braun's home movies which he gained rights to and included in this documentary. While Lutz Becker's excerpts of the home movies were made available and have have been included in almost all documentaries about Hitler, the movies were later deemed inappropriate for the general public. Eva's reels are now under lock and key in the US national archives. All we may see are Lutz Becker's excerpts.
