...sure, there is a profitable U.S. trade in Nazi artifacts-Afrika Korps caps, helmets, Adolf Hitler posters, swastika-emblazoned daggers and flags. Old military uniforms and insignia-including Nazi versions-have been snapped up by various nostalgia collectors who may have no particular ideological axes to grind. Motorcycle gangs, too, have often embraced Hitlerian helmets and swastikas. All such artifacts are readily available through mail-order import houses, as well as some gun and specialty shops, and the catalogues are advertised in various gun and hunting magazines. Porn paperbacks like Gestapo Prison Brothel and Bitch of Buchenwald have their avid...
...parade, stepping their way up the Via del Corso from the Piazza di San Lorenzo in Lucina to the Piazza Venezia and the Vittoriana. They wore jack boots and black arm bands. They flaunted banners and shouted anti-Semitic slogans. They gave the Roman salute and displayed the swastika. They heaved rocks and bottles at the crowd, overturned cars, attacked bystanders...
...sous I'occupation (Let's Sing under the Occupation) was an 80-minute documentary on the good life in Paris under Nazi rule in 1940-44.

And his recent film is a painstakingly constructed documentary in which scenes from newsreels, feature films and home movies are continuously shown in quick succession. The presentation of the clippings Mora finally chooses follows the thread of his own historical outline of the period. And while Mora's treatment of events is roughly chronological, his personal influence in his juxtaposition of images is continually present...
Balmy Fictions. Much of Brother, Can You Spare a Dime? is given over to similarly novel footage: home movies of F.D.R. horsing around with his family during a swimming party; the Hindenburg, with a swastika painted on its tail, floating peacefully between the skyscrapers of Manhattan; Los Angeles, dawdling about growing, still a transposed prairie town set down in the middle of an antic oasis. There are also, intercut with fact, many of the best and balmiest fictions of the time: James Cagney, ever brash and streetwise, pushing mugs around; King Kong poking his head up through the el tracks...
