"Cinema and the Swastika" is a groundbreaking publication that examines the international expansion of cinema during the Third Reich. This scholarly book offers a comprehensive analysis of Nazi Germany's attempts to influence the film industries in 20 different countries and regions, whether they were occupied or maintained neutral relations with Germany. The areas covered include, among others, Western Europe, Italy, Japan, Scandinavia, Spain, South America, and the USA. A new chapter in the paperback edition also addresses the occupied Eastern territories, including the Soviet Union, the Baltic States, and Poland. The book highlights the role of the International Film Chamber and the efforts of Propaganda Minister Goebbels to lead the 'Film Europe' movement. With contributions from internationally recognized experts, this work provides an informed perspective on the cultural and political strategies of the Third Reich in the realm of film. The revised paperback edition is based on the originally published hardcover version from 2007, which was awarded the Willy Haas Prize for books about German cinema.
