Triumph of the Will

Before I watched this film I did not have a great understanding of the German's propaganda program.  I knew that they had one but I never saw a film about it I only saw posters of propaganda.  What shocked me the most was how much Hitler wanted to show unity in the film.   I knew that he wanted the German people to feel like equals and he said he was a man of the people but I didn't realize the trouble he went through to show this.  In the film it shows solders without any rank on them to show that all of the military is just as important.  Rudolph Hess said in a speech "The Party is Hitler - and Hitler is Germany just as Germany is Hitler."  Hitler was trying his best to show that he was a regular person.  But as he says these things he also shows that he is better than the average person by flying on planes for travel and having parades.  It's strange how it worked that the German people looked at Hitler as a equal and a super human at the same time.
