Der Sieg des Glaubens (1933)
Der Sieg des Glaubens (1933) is the first propaganda film directed by Leni Riefenstahl. Her film recounts the Fifth Party Rally of the Nazi Party, which occurred in Nuremberg from 30 August to 3 September 1933. The film is of great historic interest because it shows Adolf Hitler and Ernst Röhm on close and intimate terms, before Rohm was shot on the orders of Hitler on the Night of the Long Knives in July 1934. All copies of the film were apparently destroyed on Hitler's orders, until a copy turned up in the 1990s in the UK. Röhm with [[Hitler, August 1933]] Its form is very similar to her later and much expanded version of the 1934 rally, known as Triumph of the Will. It is a visual record of the rally and not much else, having no analytical content, so cannot claim "documentary" status. A few speeches are given, and are shown by translated subtitles in the Internet Archive version (see below). It is pure propaganda for the Nazi party, who funded and promoted the film. The film celebrates the victory of the Nazis in achieving power with Hitler assuming the role of Chancellor of Germany in February 1933.
