It lasted until November 1916.

The Horst Wessel Lied was what the Nazis used as the German National Anthem from 1934 to 1945 post 2 : Triumph of the Will (German: Triumph des Willens) is a propaganda film made by Leni Riefenstahl. It chronicles the 1934 Nazi Party Congress in Nuremberg. The film contains excerpts from speeches given by various Nazi leaders at the Congress, including portions of speeches by Adolf Hitler, interspersed with footage of massed party members. Hitler commissioned the film and served as an unofficial executive producer; his name appears in the opening titles. The overriding theme of the film is the return of Germany as a great power, with Hitler as the True German Leader who will bring glory to the nation. http://www.documentingreality.com/fo...-1960-a-15011/ "Mein Kampf" presents the rise and fall of the Third Reich, showing mainly the destruction of Poland and the life Hitler, which is told since he was a mediocre student and frustrated aspirant of artist living in slums in Austria and Germany, until his suicide in 1945 after being the responsible for the death of million of people, and the destruction of Europe.

One complains light-heartedly about the volume of work he has to get through. The other two smile sympathetically. The scene is timeless and benign. Or is it? The tableau takes on a more sinister quality when we learn that the sun terrace is part of the Berghof – German fascist dictator Adolf Hitler’s mountain retreat. http://www.documentingreality.com/fo...l-death-21685/ Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal tracks infamous war criminal Dr. Josef Mengele to his hiding place in Paraguay.

The facts are told, and previously unknown evidence is revealed by an eyewitness to these events, former doctor and military translator, Anatoly Protasov. Part documentary and part feature, the story is shown from the perspective of a young Japanese nurse who witnessed many of horrors, and a young Japanese officer who is torn between his sincere convictions that he is serving the greater purpose, and the deep sympathy he feels for an imprisoned Russian girl. His life is a living hell as he's compelled to carry out atrocious experiments on the other prisoners, using them as guinea pigs in this shocking tale of mankind's barbarity. "Philosophy of a Knife" is truly one of the most violent, brutal and harrowing movies ever made. http://www.documentingreality.com/fo...-1958-a-79949/ 1950's television documentary special that includes interviews with Hitler's sister Paula Wolf and a fellow prisoner who was incarcerated with Hitler, actual footage shot by the Nazi's and Eva Braun's rare home movies. http://www.documentingreality.com/fo...footage-99298/ As the film's history shows, it was a project that was supervised by the British Ministry of Information and the American Office of War Information.
