Youtube playlist of a documentary series on 20th-21st century Chinese history. Very comprehensive and useful.

This the infamous propaganda video created by Leni Riegenstahl at the behest of Adolf Hitler. It's goal was to inspire the thought that the Nazi party was legitimate and the right cause to follow for Germans living in the 1930s. 

Much of the imagery used, youth, happiness, family, heritage and culture, power, etc. are all equated with the Nazi Party.

What examples of this can you see?

Skip ahead to roughly 1:30:00 into the film to witness the big finale, the Nazi rally and Hitler's final speech of the film. It's very insightful, and truly haunting given what we know now about the time period decades later.

Make no mistake while I find this piece interesting from the perspective of a historian, I in no way support Nazi ideals.

An interesting website with some primary source materials. It is a little US/Eurocentric.

Holy maloo! Talk about a modern connection to WHAP content!

Check out this article and think about what parallels exist between today's twitter indulgences and those of Martin Luther's 16th century protestant reformation.
