(Ebook) Cinema and the swastika: the international expansion of Third Reich cinema by Roel Vande Winkel, David Welch ISBN 9781403994912, 1403994919

Cinema and the Swastika is the first publication to bring together comparative research on the international expansion of Third Reich cinema. This volume investigates various attempts to infiltrate - economically, politically and culturally - the film industries of 20 countries and regions either occupied by, friendly with or neutral towards Nazi Germany. With contributions from internationally acclaimed specialists, the territory covered includes Western and Central Europe, Italy, Japan, Scandinavia, Spain, South Americas and the USA. This book also features assessments of the International Film Chamber, through which the Nazi propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels, tried to lead the 'Film Europe' movement, and of Hispano Film, through which German cinema tried to conquer Spanish markets.
