######## NOTE: We are only seller of this book worldwide. ######## FOUR "MOVEMENT" FILMS OF THE THIRD REICH S.A.-Mann Brand Bleeding Germany Horst Wessel/Hans Westmar The March to the Leader This monograph is the first book in many years to examine any of the early so-called 'Movement' films of the Third Reich. The author provides a narrative for the 1933 feature films SA-Mann Brand and Hans Westmar, complementing his book on the Hitler Youth Quex. Also included are two often-overlooked but important documentary films: Bleeding Germany and The March to the Leader. Today, only a 17-minute fragment of Bleeding Germany remains, although it originally ran for 68 minutes. The full narration of the missing footage is presented here for the first time. Never-before-cited source material on The March to the Leader offers additional insight into this iconic HJ film, along with its previously unseen full-color poster. This material, presented without bias, provides a more comprehensive overview of the creation and promotion of these films. For English-speaking readers, all source material has been translated, many of it for the first time. Three of the four films were also distributed in the United States. The text discusses how American censors handled these propaganda films and how reviewers and audiences responded to them. The films provide insight into the early days of the Nazi Party and its pursuit of power, making them a valuable resource for studying that period. Today, when people hear the words 'Hitler' or 'Nazis, an image of Auschwitz or Adolf Hitler as the Monster-the embodiment of evil-likely comes to mind, and they think more about the Nürnberg Trials than the Nürnberg Party Day Rallies. Watching these early films can help explain how Germany transformed into the Third Reich. Understanding why and how the German people supported and often worshiped Adolf Hitler is almost impossible now without revisiting the late Weimar years, the intense Kampfzeit, and considering the historical context of that time. Softcover, Perfect binding, 166 pages, with 42 rare illustrations including five posters, many in color. ISBN 978-0-9808612-9-7 German Films Dot Net © 2026 All rights reserved. Early praise for this book from an American author of a classic book on Nazi Film written in 2008 and still in print: "Your latest book just arrived. Another singular contribution to history. I could not have asked for anything: more interesting and eye-opening about films that would get my attention. Your latest work, I think, is your most important: surprising, provocative, thought–provoking." [Author's name omitted to protect his privacy.].…
