'Lambeth Walk' with Hitler: Brit Parody Film of Nazi Troops at Nuremberg Rallies

Last edited Thu Jul 4, 2019, 05:56 PM - Edit history (1)



(2 mins). 1941 British parody production based on original film footage of Nazi troops at rallies in Nuremberg, Germany as seen in the 1935 Nazi propaganda movie "Triumph of the Will." This satire is set to the score of the popular dance tune, 'The Lambeth Walk' named after the London entertainment district and neighborhood. The comedic film was shown by resistance groups in Nazi-occupied countries like Denmark. Upon seeing it for the first time, Josef Goebbels, the Nazi propaganda minister was so upset that he ran from the room screaming. https://publicdomainreview.org/collections/lambeth-walk-nazi-style-1942/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triumph_of_the_Will

Can you imagine Fat Donnie and his Chumpkins trying to march?

They'd look like penguins from hell.

Great research on that wartime video, btw.

I always suspected Cheeto might be a reincarnated Goering.

Goering was a flying ace in ww1 and speaks english fluently. Both accomplishments are beyond trump's capability.

By the same token, today's GOPee are like the fascists of yesteryear - but without any of their (few) accomplishments, such as infrastructure.

Worst of both worlds, really.
