The whole thing was a farce really. And that is what made it so very evil. A whole country was willing to believe, promote, kill and die for a lie. And it wasn't even a well-crafted lie.

If it hadn’t happened no one would believe it. It is too far fetched.

You are right about that. Who would have thought, that not one German, not one single German, disagreed with Hitler, and disagreed with his policies enough to assinate him. Hitler made a habit of riding around in open cars, unprotected when making speeches surruonded by tens of thousands of Germans with rifles, etc. It would only have taken one singel German with a rifle to end it all, but not one single German in Germany, disagreed enough to stop it. In fact, most Germans loved Hitler, and loved his policies. Hitler was NOT unpopular, he was very popular.

Triumph Of The Will was very slick. Now, how many folk or volk if you will, were swayed by the film is questionable.

Why? Because the government gives them food and jobs and wealth and someone else to blame all their troubles on.

Yep. The film shows the Nazi's feeding people, providing jobs, etc. With the promises that government will provide all that you need, the film could be used in a Democratic candidate's campaign.

If you haven't had the chance to see the film, do so. The version I saw was subtitled, but as you read the words, you'd swear that the script was written for a Democratic candidate.
