1.1310 Women are not allowed to make mistakes
The female journalist’s plan is not complicated at all.
After all, as a reporter like the military, an important member of the film reporting team with a whole "news carriage", and the connections accumulated by being the chief special correspondent of "Signal" magazine in Paris for many years, the female reporter has a considerable influence.
Even Mrs. Katy, who has never stopped casting with the support of the Third Reich's "unlimited funding", has become increasingly close with the female journalist.
"Send a team of foreign filming?" Mrs. Katy, who was busy with trouble, raised her head from the actor's files piled up on the desks.
"Yes." The female reporter handed the sorted folder to Mrs. Katie: "You can look first."
The folder was forwarded to the third Reich's Minister of Ordnance and Ammunition Fritz Tott's signature was particularly conspicuous. Mrs. Katie reached out to take it, then looked at the female reporter, and immediately realized it: "I guess you are also entrusted."
"I can't hide everything from you, ma'am." The female reporter did not lie at all.
""Special battle scene shooting on the SA3 Rapid Train..." Mrs. Katie nodded slightly: "So, this is a shooting request from the Ordnance and Ammunition Department."
"There is also the Imperial Ministry of Transport." The female reporter is completely known as having a wide range of connections.
"I've heard of this 'ambitious' plan. However, it was a war period after all. All the resources of the empire must serve to win this battle. The 12 billion empire marks are astronomical." Mrs. Katy's upper-class communication circle is equally wide.
"You are right. So, if the empire's ambitious 'wide railroad plan' can be realized in the movie in advance, it will undoubtedly be a great encouragement." The female reporter said the most important publicity significance.
In fact, according to the historical process, the "Wide-Gauge Railway" plan was truly implemented. By the latest in the fall of 1944, Germany successfully tested the 3-kilometer-long 3,000 mm wide-gauge railway. Originally, according to the plan, the wide-gauge railway project would be the first to start construction between the northern German port city of Hamburg and the city of Linz, Austria.
In other words, by 1944 at the latest, all the difficulties related to the "Wide-Gauge Railway" plan were overcome, and all technical reserves including "electricity/diesel hybrid vehicle heads" and "basinless tracks" were completed. Referring to the principle of military first and civilians, the military SA3 fast train was completed in advance before the civilian version.
Dr. Fritz Tott, known by the Nazi German government as the "father of the German Fort", was a veteran of World War I. He joined the Nazi Party in 1922 and was responsible for the construction of German highways in 1933. He established the semi-militarized "Tott Organization" in 1938, responsible for the construction of "Atlantic Barriers" and other military fortresses. He was appointed Minister of Ordnance and Ammunition in 1940. On February 8, 1942, he died due to an aircraft crash when he left Hitler's Wolf Knot Headquarters. On February 8, 1944, on February 8, 1944, Hitler specially established the Dr. Fritz Tott Medal to award inventions and creations that have made important contributions to the war.
Obviously, what Mrs. Katy said about "being entrusted by others" must not refer to Fritz Tott himself, and the signature on the folder was more out of nostalgia.
It is very likely that although this ambitious "wide-gauge railway" plan has been implemented, it has lost Fritz Tott's own vigorous promotion, and the progress is far less than before. This is why a special shooting plan for female journalists was "entrusted by others". The purpose is to vigorously promote, arouse the enthusiasm of the people, inject new vitality into the "wide-gauge railway" plan, and accelerate the promotion of the entire plan.
The logic is completely true, and there is no problem with the details.
So, Mrs. Katy has no reason to refuse: "Who is the director of this special shooting?"
"Leni Rivenstale."
"Ah..." Mrs. Katy had already thought of it; "So your strong friendship began with the Berlin Olympics we experienced together."
"Yes, madam." The female reporter's memories flashed in her eyes.
In 1936, Berlin was preparing to host the 11th Summer Olympics. The Nazi Party, which had been in power for three years, was in its prime. Hitler took this opportunity to show the glorious economic, political, cultural and sports scenes of Nazi Germany to the world.
How to show it?
The most powerful way is of course the movie!
Who will direct it?
Who else can be there except Leni Rivenstale?
In order to ensure the completion of this important task, the Nazi regime did not hesitate to invest a lot of manpower, financial resources and material resources again. This time, Leni Rivenstale not only combined the important tasks of director, screenwriter and editing, but also led a huge crew of 43 people. He also provided 40 special cars, an office dormitory with 120 beds near the sports field, a film equipment library, and a canteen for 300 people to eat, which was specially used by the crew.
Leni Rivenstale did not disappoint Hitler. He passed the Olympic flame from Greece to Berlin, the venue! The first time to shoot a documentary for the Olympic Games! The first time to shoot a slow motion during the first competition! The first time to shoot a shot up from the ground! The first time to shoot a panoramic view from the airship down! The first time the camera is in sync with the diving athletes! The first time to track follow the 100-meter race...
It can be said that many of the sports competition shooting techniques that people often see now are pioneered and passed down by Leni Rivenstale back then.
Hitler called this film an "unparalleled praise of the magnificence of the Nazi Party". Since these two films, Leni Rivenstale was called by European media: the film angel of the Third Reich! It has become a famous symbol of Nazi Germany!
After World War II, Leni Rivenstad was first arrested by the US military because of his good relationship with Hitler, Goebbels, Himmler and other Nazi senior officials, and then became a prisoner of the French army. He was successively sent to Allied prisons five times in order to confirm Hitler's death, the Allied forces asked the details of the relationship between Leni Rivenstad, who was considered the mistress of the head of state, and Hitler. He then spent four years in prison and was once imprisoned in a mental hospital.
During the West Germany de-Nazisation (Entnazifizierung) movement, all kinds of gossip about Leni Rivenstadt being Hitler's mistress disappeared. Even in 1952, the West Berlin Court made a final judgment: "Leni Rivenstadt has not engaged in political activities that are punishable to support Nazi rule, and has not been committed to establishing connections that have nothing to do with her artistic career. There is no ambiguous relationship between her and Hitler." It has not stopped the spread of rumors, and she herself was even more rejected by European and American filmmakers because of her great success in the Nazi era.
After the war, artists such as Karajan and Heidegger who worked for the Nazis returned to their normal lives, and only she lived alone in her apartment outside Munich. She often lamented: "Women are not allowed to make mistakes."
Of course, like all realistic plot characters, the female reporter knew Leni Riefenstahl, who was actually the character in the 1993 personal biographical movie "The Power of Images: Leni Riefenstahl".
