Triumph of the Will from 1935 with Adolf Hitler. Movie Colourized for the First Time this Month (1:44:20 Hrs)

This video of one hour and forty four minutes shows the film "Triumph of the Will".  The film was made in 1935.  The full movie in colour is here. The film was a great, inspiring film which was directed, produced, edited, and co-written by Leni Riefenstahl, one of the many famous women in Germany at that time. The film shows the 1934 NSDAP Party Congress in Nuremberg, which was attended by more than 700,000 supporters. The film contains excerpts from speeches given by leaders at the Congress, including Adolf Hitler, Rudolf Hess and Julius Streicher, interspersed with footage of massed Sturmabteilung (SA) and Schutzstaffel (SS) troops and public reaction. Hitler commissioned the film and served as an unofficial executive producer; his name appears in the opening titles. The film's overriding theme is the return of Germany as a great power, with Hitler as the leader who will bring glory to the nation. 

Riefenstahl's techniques—such as moving cameras, aerial photography, the use of long-focus lenses to create a distorted perspective, and the revolutionary approach to the use of music and cinematography—have earned Triumph of the Will recognition as one of the greatest films in history. Riefenstahl helped to stage the scenes, directing and rehearsing some of them at least fifty times. Riefenstahl won several awards, not only in Germany but also in the United States, France, Sweden and other countries. The film was popular in the Third Reich, and has continued to influence films, documentaries and commercials to this day. In Germany, the film is not censored but the courts commonly classify it as Nazi propaganda which requires an educational context to public screenings.
