- - The thumbnail for this video is the image discussed by Riefenstahl in the first part of this extract. Doubt has been cast on how far it matches up to her accounts.
- Doubt has also been cast on the real independence of her film company for the Olympic films: publishing.cdlib.org/ucpresse...
- Her denials did not shut down the charge that she used Roma and Sinti inmates of the Salzburg Maxglan detention camp:

... lived to be 101 years old.
It's ok, if she committed crimes against humanity, I hope she's paying now.
If not, I hope she rests quietly.
Dreadful life
A lot longer than the millions of victims of the Nazi regime.
Made a name for herself in history, while kimkon will probably be something nobody remembers. There are important people and lesser ones. Clearly her 101 old lifespan was filled with interesting things.
@@Ppeshku I've never willingly worked with a totalitarian regime to produce propaganda, so damn guess I'm taking Ws there despite my "uninteresting" life
Uma das maiores cineastas do mundo.
Well there you have it guys she said, “there’s nothing to see here and it’s all in our imaginations.”
Great woman and filmmaker.
People in the comments either despise or absolutely love this woman it seems.
I mean there's only two possible views of what nazism means. There's no gray area for mass murder and dictatorship...
Rather be like that than be mediocre
@@sergiowithlasersBut she had nothing to do with any of that. She just filmed the 1936 Olympics. That’s it
@@joewhitehead3 You never heard of Triumph of the Will?
@@GRice999 Beautiful film, so what?
All things being equal, she was a revolutionary filmmaker. Aerials, etc.
But all other things aren't equal.
Leni, we will always remember you
Who will?
@@satansalley6526 we all

@@user-qm4up7pb2k History will--but not for the reasons you think.
Isn't funny how she thinks that " I made this propagandist bullshit without being forced by Nazis but out of my own free will" is a valid defense that makes her look better.
@maulfickmanfred1796 I'd rather achieve nothing in life than being actively compliant in one of the biggest ethnic cleansings in human history.... And if you don't understand that, there's something seriously wrong with you
@@dice234in other words y’all accomplished ZERO 🍩
@@regiment6541 In other words you are a nazi sympathiser.
@@jaranowskaNot really.
@maulfickmanfred1796 Living a free life and not subjugating others to oppression is my achievement.
Russian Soloviev and Simonyan would be talk this exactly way. "We didntt support that we didnt knew anything we were misleaded.."
Most Germans never saw triumph of the Will
At the time, 20,000,000 Germans saw.
2 Nd link doesn't appear to be working? Appalling that she continued to make money from the films even after the documentary evidence came to light.
Cry about it.
It is appalling that the antiwhites in Hollywood continue to make money from their films.
Triumph of the Will was a good film. Nothing wrong with it.
The film itself has no relation to the atrocities that happened. Much like Bill Cosby shows have no relation to his raping behavior
I think you are right.
Then again, Cosby didn't make a TV show about his raping behavior. And his other actors and production crew didn't know what he was up to. Leni knew what she was doing, even if she didn't know to what extent AH and the other Nazis were evil. Night of the Long Knives had already happened and everyone knew something about it. She should have known she was on the wrong side of humanity.
wie kann man nur so eine Frau verehren...
She pioneered propaganda techniques that sent the whole world into the abyss but I find it difficult to believe that she does not realise how bad it looks when she’s reading those cue cards… I think she’s lying
She is absolutely lying. She knew what she was doing. You can literally see she orchestrated the opening motorcade in Triumph of the Will. She even edited that movie and filled it with pathos. She didn’t just set up a camera and film it. She did it because it was good for her career then refused to stand by it when it didn’t age well. She was a coward and a liar who knew what she was doing.
@kaimckenzie2095 lol Stop believing in the zionist lies
Well, its a quest of achiving your dreams, I'd probably do the same thing, like comon, having access on equipments regarding on filmmaking is like ecstasy for filmakers, wether she did bad things or not, one thing for sure, she did it for her dreams
@@imaginarium851 Who knew what she was doing? Yes she made great films during her lifetime
@@imaginarium851 What exactly are you saying she "lied" about?
Brilliant film maker with awesome techniques of the day. Triumph of will is an excellent output and there is no reason for her to be coy at admitting it. Cant understand why she was being reviled so much when people like Fritz Hippler who made such toxic films that compared Jews to rats got away scot free. Same is the case with the makers of another movie another movie 'Jude Suss'. Society has been unkind to her.
When they recce someone there, they just diligently accuse that person for that. No matter what would have been the reality and the impacts it laid on that person afterwards. It is not actually the society, but a specific cluster that has fed these preachings in the minds of the rest of social groups. Now, we need to acknowledge what her achievements were and stop being a biased dolt of that dire extent.
Hippler bad, Leni good, Hitler bad, Goebbels good?
Say what you w8ll about mr H, he gave women directors a chance.
What an odd way to look at genocidal maniac.
She was a woman given a great opportunity by a very powerful man. It’s not like she coulda said no
For sure she was convinced nazy else he didnt made the Olimpia movie.
Germany is the biggest lied about story in history.
And after the war she could have made an anti-Nazi film, or wrote a book about it.
@@GRice999 really ?
@@msbull100 No, not if she was as you stated. She had almost 60 years to demonstrate she wasn't a Nazi at heart but failed to do so. Her actions (or lack thereof) speak louder than her denials or excuses.
@@GRice999 so you believe she was really misleaded ?
she lived a long time
that is testament of god's will
So many ignats wannabee judges here.. They judge a time they don't understand.
Narcissistic woman
Why?
@@Luftwaffengel Accepting doing the Nazi propaganda for the good of her own career. Knowing bloody well Jews were being slaughtered.
Everything else aside, she was a good looking woman
Not as good-looking as she thought she was. At one point Jodie Foster was considering making a movie about her, but she said Foster wasn’t beautiful enough to play her. She suggested Sharon Stone.

Especially when she was young, but even at this age she's still beautiful.
Indeed. And she demonstrated that beauty is only skin deep.
@@GRice999 You made so many comments on here and all of them show that you are such a bitter person against a filmmaker who didn't do you any wrong. So, so bitter
@@tresojos I'm not bitter. And you're correct, she didn't do ME any wrong. But she's a public figure and fair game, especially since she did the world wrong by using her talents to glorify the NAZIs as part of their propaganda machine. You're attacking the messenger and not the message. Seems like you're taking it personal for some reason. Ask yourself why?
pure unapolgetic evil
no
What a great lady
Isn't she though?Quite simply wunderbar.
