The disgusting
film "Triumph of the Will" ranks down with the book "Mein Kampf" by Adolf
Hitler and with "The Communist Manifesto" by Karl Marx and the little "Red
book" by Mao (each also available). Many people try to single out Hitler as
unique, but it is unfortunate that he was matched or surpassed in monstrosity
as a member of the socialist trio of atrocities (Hitler, Mao, Stalin) that
led to the socialist Wholecaust (of which the Holocaust was a part): 62 million
killed by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, 35 million by the Peoples'
Republic of China, 21 million by the National Socialist German Workers' Party.

The National Socialist German Workers' Party and the Union of Soviet Socialist
Republics joined as allies in 1939 to invade Poland in a pact to divide
up Europe. Before, during and after the National Socialist German Workers’
Party, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics killed even more people.
The Peoples’ Republic of China then followed with more slaughter. Stalin,
Mao and Hitler qualify as a true tragedy. The slaughter was so large
that Holocaust Museums would quadruple in size and scope as Wholecaust Museums.

Fight the Holocaust deniers and the Wholecaust deniers.
The 1934 film, directed by Leni Riefenstahl, was propaganda for
the sixth annual congress of the National Socialist German Workers' Party
in Nuremburg. The film had a big impact on Germans, especially young Germans.
In both the film and in the book "Mein Kampf," the word "socialist" is
used constantly throughout to promote the dogma. The words "fascist" and
"Nazi" are never used -not a single time- in reference to the National Socialist
German Workers' Party.
The socialist cliches are so thick they are comic, and it is impossible
to forget (once it is heard) the phrase "Present Shovels!" barked to the industrial
army of adoring "worker-soldiers" each carrying his G.I. shovel as though
it was a gun. The only thing missing at that point of hilarity is a
choreographed dance routine with the ditch-diggers. (Who could resist mentioning
here that Hitler had a family name of schickelgruber?). The glorious
comrades needed their "weapons" to shovel all the socialist manure piling
up in "Triumph." It is unfortunate that the shovel army was later
used to bury the victims of the incredibly deadly dogma.
"Triumph" contains references to God, and Hitler informs the assembled
masses that he is on a God-given mission and that "the Party will be like
a religious order." Hitler was a preying person.
The similarities are terrifying when compared to dogma preached by Francis
Bellamy and Edward Bellamy in the USA from 1888. Francis Bellamy was
a preacher, and both Bellamys were part of the "Society of Christian Socialists."
The Bellamys were self-proclaimed national socialists who supported
the "Nationalist" magazine and the "Nationalist Educational Association"
in the USA three decades before the Nazis began. The Bellamys idolized
the military and openly advocated "military socialism" to create an "industrial
army" to nationalize the entire economy, including all schools. Francis
Bellamy created the straight-arm salute as part of the original pledge of
allegiance to the USA's flag as discovered by the historian Dr. Rex Curry.

It salute did not come from ancient Rome. Photos can be viewed via a web search
for "original socialist salute" and at http://rexcurry.net/pledge2.html
Francis Bellamy wanted flags in government schools to promote nationalization
and socialism. It was a philosophy that led to the socialist Wholecaust (of
which the Holocaust was a part) where millions were murdered. That is
why the Bellamys are known as America's Nazis.
Government schools teach that the pledge was created to sell flags to
schools and Francis Bellamy is described as an advertising pioneer.
That is a whitewashed piece of the whole story. A better description
is that Bellamy was a propaganda pioneer, comparable to Leni Riefenstahl.
"Triumph" shows repetitive use of the infamous straight-arm salute of
the National Socialists. Some scenes appear to show the straight-arm gesture
delivered with a military-style salute to the heart before extending outward,
or after retracting. That also has a prior history in variations on
the pledge of allegiance in the USA.
The salute appears in Leni Riefenstahl's
Triumph of the Will
(1935) and
Olympia (1938). The impact of the 1935 film gave many people
the misimpression that the gesture originated with the National Socialists
in Germany. Later, in 1937's
Scipione l’Africano, director Carmine
Gallone used the salute as visual tool to turn Mussolini into a new Scipio.
Later still, the "Roman" salute myth was enlarged in
Quo Vadis (1951
Mervyn LeRoy) whose triumph sequence is modeled on
Triumph of the Will,
replete with the socialist salute.
The film includes soundbites of Bellamyisms from speeches given by various
national socialists. The film tries to show how the German people pledged
their loyalty to the Nazi-Sozis. In keeping with their socialist dogma,
Hitler is praised as an "epitome of altruism" and the speakers refer to each
other as "comrades" who will cause a "revolution of the people and workers"
to end "class struggle" and create "egalitarianism."
Many people forget that "Nazi" means "National Socialist German Workers'
Party" because the shorthand is overused by media mouthpieces who never say
the actual name of the Party. A good mnemonic device is that the swastika
was used as intermeshed "S" letters for "socialism" under the National Socialist
German Workers’ Party, a news-breaking discovery by the Dr. Curry. http://rexcurry.net/swastikanews.html
The film shows repetitive use of the word "victory" which in German is
"sieg" and related to the "S"-shaped "sieg" rune used in their symbols in
the film, including the Hakenkreuz. The book "Mein Kampf" might contain
Hitler's only written comments about the "swastika." It is a brief section
and can be interpreted as Hitler stating that the Hakenkreuz was used as
alphabetic symbolism of overlapping “sig” or “sieg” runes representing "S"
letters for "socialism" or the "socialist victory."
Although the swastika was an ancient symbol for "good luck" in India,
that is not why it was used by the National Socialist German Workers' Party.
The swastika as a symbol for "socialism" is also shown elsewhere in many
of their posters, flags, banners, books, medals and other paraphernalia.
Adolf Hitler's
signature evolved into "S Hitler" for "socialism" as shown in a recent discovery
by Dr. Curry.
Here is another interesting fact: the word "swastika" does not appear
in the film nor in the book (in the German version). Only the term "Hakenkreuz"
(hooked cross) is used. "Swastika" was a bad English translation of "Hakenkreuz."
The film also shows other symbols that most people have never seen and
never will.
Some educated socialists (socialists who know the origin of the pledge)
laugh at so-called conservatives who support robotic pledging in government
schools, because socialists know that most "conservatives" in the USA have
been duped into supporting socialism and are ignorant of the pledge's socialist
origin. Conservatives don't arise each morning to gather with neighbors and
robotically chant, as they only "love" the pledge when government's schools
lead children in robotic chanting every morning for twelve years of their
lives upon the ring of a bell, like Pavlov's lapdogs of the state.
The Bellamys advocated a government takeover of education. After the government
took over education, segregation was imposed by law and became institutionalized
by government in its schools and racism was taught as official policy. During
that time children in government-schools were required by law to salute the
flag with the straight-armed salute in military formation daily on the ring
of a government bell, like Pavlov’s lapdogs of the state. It is an ominous
parallel that is covered-up in government schools in the U.S. and neither
the schools nor the media will ever show a historic photograph of the original
pledge of allegiance.
The bizarre practices served as an example for three decades before they
were adopted by the National Socialist German Workers’ Party. Two years
after "Triumph," Jesse Owens competed in the 1936 Olympics in Germany, while
his fans attended segregated government schools where they saluted the flag
with the Nazi salute. As under Nazism, Jehovah's Witnesses (and blacks
and the Jewish and others) in the USA were required by law to perform the
Nazi salute in the USA and robotically chant the pledge. If they refused,
then they were expelled from government schools and had to use the many better
alternatives. There were also acts of physical violence.
The shovel brigade in "Triumph" is a reminder of how the National Socialists
built highways as make-work programs and government boondoggles. It
is an ominous parallel that the USA followed the example.
During the period of the National Socialists in Germany, the USA's federal
government was growing massively and attempting to nationalize the economy
in many ways. The US Supreme Court struck down much of the copycat legislation
as unconstitutional until justices were pressured by the "switch in time
that socialized nine" under the USA's worst president, the socialist FDR.
In 1935, the USA's government stepped onto the same path with the social
security scam and its Nazi numbering at the height of Nazi power in Germany.
Some modern proposals for social security reforms would invest social
security taxes in private businesses and provide an avenue for the government
to nationalize all private businesses in addition to schools. It is a scheme
that would impress the Bellamys. It is an avenue that President Bush advocated
that would nationalize the entire U.S. economy. Republican-socialists support
the Nazi-like scam because they don't have the ethics nor intellectual honesty
to do the right thing: end government involvement in education, and end the
social security scam, its taxes and its Nazi numbering.
After WWII ended, the government's schools in the USA continued segregation
and racism, stopping in the 1960's. The USA also continued its Nazi
numbering and its robotic pledge, with no stopping.
Thereafter, the Bellamy legacy caused more police-state racism of forced
busing that destroyed communities and neighborhoods and deepened hostilities.
Today, the USA numbers babies, and government schools demand the numbers
for enrollment, and the numbers track homes, workplaces, incomes, finances,
and more, for life. School laws still tout the daily pledge, a bizarre
ritual shunned by every other country.
The film's cinematragraphy shows how socialism is pure Hollywood. Socialism
is conceited politician-actors delivering prepared lines and pretending
to create food, clothing, and shelter on film. In the reality off
camera, their socialism destroys food, clothing and shelter and kills millions.
To Hell with Hitler, his socialism and all socialism.
Overall, the film and the book that preceded it are both terrifying.
Helene Bertha Amalie "Leni" Riefenstahl (August 22, 1902 – September 8,
2003) produced films for Adolf Hitler. She was given the nickname "Leni" as
a reference to V. I. Lenin (who died years earlier, in 1924). The nickname
started after joking remarks concerning the relationship between the leader
of German National Socialism and his twin, the leader of Soviet Socialists
"Joseph Stalin." "Stalin" means "steel" and "Riefenstahl" means "scoring
steel." The nickname with Leni's last name was a reference to the effect
of her film work for socialism.
OTHER FILMS:
Kopf Hoch, Johannes! (1941?)
"Chin Up, Johnny!" is about Johannes, a boy from a privileged family,
just the kind of boy that was reviled as bourgeois by the National Socialist
German Workers' Party. He doesn't understand the importance of "kamaradeschaft"
(comradeship) and sacrifice. It seems he is initially resistant to joining
the Hitler Youth (HJ), but ultimately is sent to an HJ camp where at last
he becomes a dedicated Hitler Junge.
(Der) Marsch zum Fuehrer/The March to the Fuehrer (1940)
Der Marsch zum Fuehrer ("The March to the Fuhrer") produced in
1940. Der Marsch, approximately one hour in length, shows actual Hitler
Youth marching toward Nuremberg for the annual Party Day Rally. Each summer
thousands of Hitler Youth (HJ) marched from their hometowns down German
roads to meet en mass at Nuremberg to join in the yearly Nazi Party Congress.
Goebbels in 1940 produced this film memorializing the HJ as they join in
the meeting. The film includes a segment about one HJ member dining with
a host family at a pause in the trip; the family asks questions and the
youngster tells the audience about the HJ and the meeting. The main event
in the film is the rally, with speeches by Hitler and Baldur von Schirach,
the head of the HJ. The climax of the year for National Socialists
and older HJ members was the annual Nuremburg event.
The German government still follows some policies of the National Socialists
in that it dictates what films may be shown, and it does not permit the
general display of many films like these in Germany. They are sometimes
used for restricted "educational" purposes. Sometimes excerpts are shown
in documentaries.
