The Third Reich cinema was a heavily censored industry and at the same time, longed to be a German dream factory. It established its own celebrity star system and used the latest marketing tools. About 1000 feature films were produced in Germany between 1933 and 1945 and only a few were openly Nazi propaganda and even fewer could be considered harmless entertainment. They were responsible for building stereotypes of the “enemy” and values of love and hate into the viewers’ minds.
