Ans: Students should explain that this film is considered to be one of the most compelling propaganda films ever made. Hitler understood the impact of this tool and used it in film. In it, rallies were staged to elicit an exaggerated response from the Germans. Placed inside a timed and intense film capsule, it intensified any event or action nearly to hysteria. The use of symbols and military power appealed to a disciplined and controlled society that seemed ready for aggressive action and support of Hitler and the Nazi Party. The film was a success in promoting a sense of unity and German pride and purpose.
