Gone are the long, fawning close-ups of the Führer, gone the Wagnerian surges on the sound track to underline every German victory. Gone is any suggestion that the Germans (even hard-working Leni) had anything to do with the film; the distributors are taking no chances with U.S. public opinion. By shrewd editing, a 260-minute heil to German athletic prowess has been reduced to a 92-minute rah-rah for the All-American...
Franco grew cagey in his dealings with Germany. At Hendaye, France, in the fall of 1940, he talked with Hitler for nine hours in the Führer's private car, "each entranced talker explaining himself in heedless stretches, recognizing no interruption or answer."

Therefore it belongs...
...while Hitler drilled his bullies, Ernst Juenger greased their path to power with his doctrine of total nihilism. Rejecting both traditional Christian and humanist values, he expressed the kind of diseased fascination with violence that led Germany's rootless youth into the Führer's ranks. "All Freedom, all Greatness, all Culture," he wrote, "are only maintained and spread aloft by wars...
