RE: Song from Hitler\\\\\\\'s SS

<HTML>Apparently, the music of \"Horst Wessel\" is that of an old fisherman\'s song - specifics lacking.

A few years ago, BBC2 showed \"Triumph des Willens\" (Triumph of the Will). This film is hailed in some circles as a masterwork of the propagandist. I reserve judgement in this quarter as this site is a historical, not a political one.

As a historical document, this film is important. Riefenstahl made wide use of different camera angles ( one cameraman installed in a lift on one of the columns in the Zeppelinwiese to pan over the massed assemblage of SS & SA).

The overall impression however, is one of veiled menace, particularly the sight of the SS goosestepping through the streets - think of Pink Floyd\'s \"The Wall\". Interestingly, the Ministry of Information (Britains propaganda dept. 1939 - 45) took this footage and by inserting repeats, made it look as if the serried ranks were performing a jig. </HTML>
