Nazi Cinema as Enchantment

The Nazi regime did not merely terrorize its citizens into submission; it also seduced them by offering many of the things they wanted: stability, a traditional value system, a sense of belonging, and the hope of a better standard of living. Nazi cinema's popularity rested on its ability to express positive social fantasies and promote the enchantment of reality, creating a place so delightful that one wanted to share in the dream at any price.
