You don’t have to glorify their beliefs to admit they were fantastic at propaganda and aesthetics. Birth of a Nation was used in film schools for decades afterward for a reason and that reason wasn’t that film schools were all secretly run by Nazis.

Can you provide some info about what film you mean? I only see results for the 1915 American film called Birth of a Nation. Which sounds pretty awful, but seems to predate Nazis.

Sorry, got my racist propaganda films that still show up in film school because they used revolutionary techniques in film making and are thus important pieces of cinematic history mixed up. The Birth of a Nation is the US one, Triumph of the Will is the Nazi one I was thinking of.

They still show both in film schools. It’s part of most film history classes.
