Triumph of the Will, also known as Triumph des Willens, is the renowned propaganda documentary of the Third Reich s 1934 Nuremberg Party Rally. Commissioned by Hitler in 1934 and directed by Leni Riefenstahl, this documentary chronicles the 1934 Nazi Party Congress in Nuremberg which was attended by more than 700,000 Nazi supporters. The intention was to document the early days of the Nazi Party so future generations could look back and see how the Third Reich began. In reality, Triumph of the Will shows historians how the Nazi state drew in the masses through propaganda. It also shows Adolf Hitlers notorious ability to entice crowds to his beliefs by the very power of his words. It was released in 1935 and became a world famous example of propaganda in film history. The techniques that Riefenstahl uses, such as moving cameras, aerial photography, the use of long focus lenses to create a distorted perspective and revolutionary approach to the use of music and cinematography have earned Triumph of the Will recognition as one of the greatest propaganda films in history. Riefenstahl won numerous awards throughout the world; in 2003 The Economist wrote that Triumph of the Will sealed her reputation as the greatest female filmmaker of the 20th century . The film was popular in the Third Reich and elsewhere, and has continued to influence movies, documentaries, and commercials to this day, even as it raises the question over the dividing line between art and morality. With a cast of thousands including Adolf Hitler, Heinrich Himmler, Viktor Lutze and other top party officials, along with 30,000 extras this film perhaps more than any other demonstrates the frightening reality that was the Nazi Party and the dangers that the future held for the rest of Europe.
