1936 3D Hitler Film Unearthed

Posted on February 15, 2011 by Jeffrey Newman

Two 30 minute black and white films shot in 3D in 1936 were found by Australian director Philippe Mora who is making a documentary on how Nazis used images to manipulate reality. The Nazi’s were decades ahead of Hollywood in creating 3D movies which were shot on 35 mm films using a prism in front of two lenses. They were made by an independent studio for the Goebbels’ propaganda ministry referred to as ‘raum film’ or space film. One is a musical set during a carnival and has the title “So Real You Can Touch It”. It features shots of bratwurzt on a barbeque close up and the other film “Six Girls Roll Into Weekend” revealing the weekend life f UFA starlets. The films will be incorporated into Mora’s upcoming documentary.
