Nazi Films In America 1933-1942

From 1933 Until Americas Entry Into World War Ii In 1941, Nearly 500 Nazi Films Were Shown In American Theaters, Accounting For Nearly Half Of All Foreign Language Film Imports During The Period. These Poorly Disguised Propaganda Films Were Produced By Germanys Top Studios And Featured Prominent Pro-german And Nazi Actors, Directors And Technicians. The Films Were Replete With Overt And Covert Anti-jewish Imagery And Themes, But In Spite Of This Obvious Intent To Use The Medium To Justify Nazi Ascendancy, Viewers And Film Critics From Such Prominent Publications As The York Times, Variety, The Washington Post And The Chicago Times Consistently Overlooked The Films' Anti-semitic Message, Dubbing Them Harmless Entertainment.
