Charlie Chaplin und die Nationalsozialisten. 504 Includes bibliographical references and index. 520 "Until recently, it was assumed that the Nazis agitated against Chaplin from 1931 to 1933, and then again from 1938, when his plan to make The Great Dictator became public. This book demonstrates that Nazi agitation against Chaplin was in fact a constant from 1926 through the Third Reich. When The Gold Rush was released in the Weimar Republic in 1926, the Nazis began to fight Chaplin, whom they alleged to be Jewish, and attempted to expose him as an intellectual property thief whose fame had faded. In early 1935, the film The Gold Rush was explicitly banned from German theaters. In 1936, the NSDAP Main Archives opened its own file on Chaplin, and the same year, he became entangled in the machinery of Nazi press control. German diplomats were active on a variety of international levels to create a mood against The Great Dictator. The Nazis' dehumanizing attacks continued until 1944, when an opportunity to capitalize on the Joan Barry scandal arose. This book paints a complicated picture of how the Nazis battled Chaplin as one of their most reviled foreign artists"--|cProvided by publisher. 600 10 Chaplin, Charlie,|d1889-1977|xAppreciation|zGermany. 650 0 National socialism and motion pictures. 650 0 National socialism in motion pictures. 700 1 Brownlow, Kevin,|ewriter of foreword. 730 0 Liberty Shtunk!|lEnglish.
