Why We Fight: The Nazis Strike – US Propaganda WW2 Documentary Film (1943)
DVD: www.amazon.com thefilmarchive.org The Nazis Strike was the second film of Frank Capra’s Why We Fight propaganda film series. It introduces Germany as a nation whose aggressive ambitions began in 1863 with Otto von Bismarck and with the Nazis as their latest incarnation. Hitler’s plan for world domination is described in terms of Halford John Mackinder’s Heartland Theory. The next focus of the film is the „softening-up“ of the Western democracies using fascist organizations such as the Belgian Rexists, the Sudeten German National Socialist Party of Konrad Henlein, the British Union of Fascists and the German-American Bund. Meanwhile, within Germany the Nazis are beginning an enormous process of rearmament. Germany then begins its territorial expansion with the first target being Austria, Hitler’s „full-scale invasion test“. He then uses his Sudeten „stooges“ under Konrad Henlein to „soften up“ Czechoslovakia and annex the Sudetenland with the help of a Britain and France desperate to avoid war. Hitler’s use of the concept of self-determination as a justification for these annexations is ridiculed by reference to prominent German Americans thoroughly loyal to the Allied cause, including Admiral Chester Nimitz, Henry J. Kaiser, Wendell Willkie and Senator Robert Wagner. The film concludes with the Invasion of Poland, which is depicted with many inaccuracies. The extreme disparity between the two sides is emphasized – the Nazis have 5000 modern tanks against Poland’s 600 …

this is really something!
@Jonathanfroglegs11 I was talking about invasion of Poland in 1939. About poles in RAF later in the war, of course they were flying on British planes. I just wanted to use that argument to prove they were so good because of previous experience in Poland. They were not flying in Poland in some shitty outdated biplanes only. German propaganda painted a false picture of Polish forces. Luftwaffe lost 1/3 of their planes attacking Poland. That wouldn’t happened if they’d flew biplanes.
@lazarus921 The poles were fighting from within England etc. using borrowed equipment…
01:06, 01:15, 01:38, all of them applys to US during George w. Bush.
@lynnsbomb are you high? how could you compare Obama to Hitler? you are very fucking stupid. for one hitler was white,and germanic…not black and click clack speaking so…and a way differenrt party…that nazi party is more repilcain than any kind of political party in our union…….you know nothing of NAZI rule and if you did…your uneducated take on it would shut your mouth to it….with the comment you posted you know nothing. would send you straight to a camp so shut you face JUDE!
Son Of A Bitch!!!!
The lies and half truths for the joos of the media they still control to day,Hitler was right 14 words.
Most of the Austrians wanted to be part of Germany (though I couldn’t imagine wy anyone would want to live under the NSDAP), and cheered as the German army came in to Austria. Not a single shot was fired they were met with cheers and screaming and flowers thrown to them. It was a happy day for most Austrians.
reminds me of the current u.s.s.a…… and dictator barak hussein obama

I know it’s maybe not the time and place but I just hate seeing that kind of propaganda films creating wrong ideas. Polish troops attacking German tanks on horses with sabres-kind of shit. Or Polish pilots flying biplanes yet somehow they had the best shot down scores in RAF flying the latest tech Spitfires. I’m fed up with an image of a brave Americans created by Hollywood. When there’s so many stories of bravery among British, French, Polish etc troops.
If polish army was so bad why Germans lost 1000 tanks and armored vehicles (30%), 700 planes (32%) used in attack. Poland fought only 1 week shorter than France with British support despite French and Brits having less outdated equipment than Germans having similar number of troops, tanks and planes as Germans. And France had to fight only on one side compared with Poles fighting with Germans attacking from west, north, south and two weeks later Russians from the east.
It’s based on german propaganda. A bit false.Polish planes were only 3-4 y older than german .Most of them monoplanes. Poles were using same tanks as brits and french. (improved english Vickers E. , french renault R-35). Germans destroyed only practise planes on the ground. Rest was operational for the next 2 weeks until Russians attacked on the other side.Every army in europe at the time was inferior to german army with outdated equipment. Germans and Russians used Horse Cavalry not only Poles.
Only US Propaganda…to many wrong things there.
hitler created 6 million new jobs
so hard to watch when you’re German…its no use wishing that WWII never had happened, best is to hope that something like this never happens again..
