Today's "RALLY" Tribute: British Nazi Satire

[appalachiablue]

"Hitler & the Gestapo Hep-Cats" Doing the Lambeth Walk, 1941. When Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Propaganda Minister saw this film short he was so enraged that he reportedly ran out of the room kicking chairs and screaming profanities. The British Ministry of Information made the parody with edited footage of Leni Riefenstahl’s classic 1935 Nazi propaganda film 'Triumph of the Will.' A Nazi Party member had declared in 1939 that the popular new English dance, the 'Lambeth Walk' then taking hold in in Berlin, to be 'Jewish mischief and animalistic hopping.' The Danish Resistance had the film played in cinemas in WWII. https://publicdomainreview.org/collections/lambeth-walk-nazi-style-1942/

4. Lol! Goebbels, the arrogant Nazi prop & film meister went berserk, tee hee.

Clip. Movie, 1937-39 showing the popular Cockney style dance named for the Lambeth neighborhood of London.

Working class Lambeth was known for its musical and artistic traditions; the home of William Blake, Somerset Maugham, Charlie Chaplin, David Bowie, and many other notables. I've been there briefly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambeth

2. We need some satire films like this one

made of our white supremacist rallies and of 45's campaign events. They would hate it. 45's fingers would be on fire from the furious tweets over it.

3. I would love to see a satire film from one of those insane rallies he holds

Embarrass the orange maggot supporters that they would be ashamed. All those at the rally that attacked Jim Acosta recently should be outed, identified and their employers notified.

7. Great material and definitely could be done. People should see

the classic Nazi propaganda movie 'Triumph of the Will' (1935), seriously.

9. "The Great Dictator" (1942) Charlie Chaplin's satire anti Nazi film.

Charlie Chaplin saw the Nazi propaganda film, "Triumph of the Will" (1935) and it partly influenced his satire film, "The Great Dictator" (1942). Hitler, who thought Chaplin was Jewish put him on the list. British born Chaplin worked and lived in the Lambeth neighborhood of London when young.
