Hitler and Film: The Führer's Hidden Passion
by Bill Niven
informative
slow-paced
If you have studied World War II history at any length, you are probably aware of Hitler's penchant for films. This book discusses what films Hitler liked and disliked, as recorded by members of his staff. It was interesting to see how much public disdain he had for Jewish people and others, yet how he enjoyed their films in private. It was also interesting to see how some of his ideas and laws he laid down directly correlated to the types of films he found interesting. This book was a pretty neat example of how media and art can relate to and influence the time period in which we live.
This book is currently available to listen to for free on Audible Plus. It was around seven hours long. The narrator was pleasant to listen to. The author did a good job presenting his sources and research throughout the book, even while speculating on certain aspects. If you are interested in a physical copy, the hardcover version is just over 300 pages. Overall, I found this to be a pretty intriguing book to read.
