A Fandom Newsreel?
Courtesy of narahtbbs on lj, a 1941 fanvid of "Triumph of the Will":
Dance, Hitler, Dance!
And people think fanvids started with the VCR. (From the the British National Archives, if, like my mom, you don't believe it's real.)
ETA: Looking for clips of the original on YouTube. It's fascinating how the vid gets put up officially and linked all over, but I see German youtubers posting Triumph of the Will (which is, after all, of *unquestionable* historical and artistic merit) with "I DO NOT SUPPORT THESE OPINIONS SO THIS IS LEGAL" disclaimers all over the place, in hopes they'll avoid the anti-Nazi laws in germany. Ah, Freedom of Opinion and Expression, such fun we have together.
