TG, thanks for the excellent follow up. I plan on collecting as many of the Reifenstahl films as I can. I think the mountain climbing footage is in The Blue Light. I've only had a chance to see Triumph of the Will. It's easy to see how the German people fell under the spell of Adolf Hitler and the NSDAP. The magnitude of the rallies must have been simply overwhelming for those who attended - like a combination of a political caucus, sporting event and religious ceremony. The footage of Hilter addressing the masses was so captivating and powerful - like a hypnotic drug. It's almost surreal in a way, but considering what's going on in modern politics, it doesn't suprise me that a man like Hitler rose to power. - maldar
