Triumph of the Will, also known as Triumph des Willens, is the legendary propaganda documentary of the Third Reich’s 1934 Nuremberg Party Rally.
Commissioned by Hitler in 1934 and directed by Leni Riefenstahl, this documentary covers the events of the Sixth Nuremberg Party Congress. The original intention was to document the early days of the NSDAP, 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 and how Adolf Hitler had a unique and terrifying ability to entice crowds to his beliefs by the sheer power of his words.
Released in 1935, the film rapidly became one of the betterknown examples of propaganda in cinematic history. Riefenstahl’s techniques, such as moving cameras, the use of telephoto lenses to create a distorted perspective, aerial photography and a revolutionary approach to the use of music and cinematography, have earned Triumph of the Will recognition as one of the greatest films in history.
Riefenstahl won several awards, not only in Germany but also in the United States, France, Sweden, and other countries. 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.
Featuring a cast of thousands, including Adolf Hitler, Himmler, Goebbels, Hess, Goering and other top party officials, 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.
