798 provokes contradictions
There are actually many reasons why the documentary was released after more than a month.
On the one hand, in this documentary, Germany uses many of the strongest photographic techniques of its time, and also innovates a whole host of propaganda methods.
For example, this documentary has editing techniques that are ahead of its time, and uses many unknown filming techniques.
Whether it is a long shot of ultra-long and unedited propulsion, or a multi-angle interview to construct the truth, it has surpassed the level of film shooting in this era.
Even in many ways, the whole documentary is better than the movie, it is more engaging to the audience, and it is easier for the audience to believe that what they see is the truth, the truth!
Li Le even used a piece of color film to intersperse it, so that the black and white film appeared in color for a few minutes.
Sound films have been booming in Germany, and the Berlin film and television industry in Germany has used this as a technological advantage to compete with the export of Hollywood culture from the United States.
After using the technical advantages of sound films, it also used color film, cameras, fill lights and other technological revolutions, and finally created such an epoch-making documentary.
If it weren't for the fact that Goebbels, a propaganda maniac, could really mobilize the propaganda forces of the whole of Germany, it would have been impossible to make this documentary in more than one month.
According to the normal filming and post-production process, the documentary went through the normal procedure, and the approval took a month.
But it was born in a month, and not one, but two! In the process of filming this, German photographers and SS crews pry open a door that seemed to destroy the Soviet Union.
"What a catastrophe, 10 million Belarusians and Ukrainians were sent to Siberia for high-risk and low-security labor! This labor was compulsory, and when these people were transported, at least 1 million people died! ”
Countless prisoners of war from Ukraine told their sad past in the prisoner of war camp. Their grievances with ethnic Russians are too numerous to read.
The contradictions between these two peoples have been around for a long time, and Ukraine was almost forcibly annexed into its own country by Russia.
As recently as the previous World War, it was partially occupied by German troops, and they did not have much awareness of returning to the bosom of their homeland.
So in the second documentary, the focus is on the grievances and grievances between Belarus and Ukraine and Russia.
"My father was a dutiful officer, but because he needed to denounce others, he was arrested, escorted to Chelyabins to overcome his sentence, and died of exhaustion in the labor of building a factory!"
A son weeps as he remembers his father, and for him, the Great Purge may have been the darkest of days.
Therefore, when he became a prisoner of Germany and was free from the threat to his life, he turned against his former Russian comrades.
When he cried to the camera that his father was persecuted to death by the Great Purge, it was called a gritted tooth and almost slapped the table and scolded Stalin.
"My son is a good man, he has not done anything wrong, but because he was implicated, he was sent to Siberia three years ago, and I don't know if he is dead or alive......"
Another old father also cried like tears when he thought of his son. He was fifty-seven years old, and he was also taken as a prisoner and surrendered on the battlefield without thinking about it.
In fact, he was just an old worker, working in a cloth production company, repairing the outdated machinery there.
It's just a pity that he is a Belarusian, so he is not willing to side with Stalin either. After a few days of ideological work, he was willing to say to the camera what he wanted to say a long time ago.
"The greatest racial oppression in history, millions of people in Ukraine starved because of famine, and millions of people died, but the Soviet Union deliberately diverted food to feed the Russians!"
Before World War II, the contradictions between the two regions of Ukraine and Belarus and Russia, the main body of the Soviet Union, had a long history.
When the balance of victory in the war tipped in Germany's favor, many Ukrainians and Belarusians were willing to stand up and fight for their justice and freedom.
In fact, these countries were not really integrated into the Soviet Union at all, which was the fundamental reason for the eventual collapse of the Soviet Union.
When it comes to the last great famine of the grain harvest, many people hate it to the roots. In order to ensure the fundamental interests of the main body, the Soviet Union, which had been planning its economy, appropriated Ukraine's grain reserves and relieved the victims of disasters in Russia.
As a result, it directly led to the famine in Ukraine – not to mention the actual damage caused by this famine to Ukraine, this attitude alone is unacceptable to many Ukrainians.
It is no wonder that after the German and Italian troops entered Ukraine, the local people welcomed them as "foreign troops" with a "welcome to the king".
"Gentlemen! I have good news for you, starting today, we will release most of you, the war between us is over after all, and the exchange and return of prisoners of war are on the agenda. After his speech, the officer in charge of the guard said with a smile to the high-ranking prisoners of war from countries such as Britain and France.
Much as he said, France and Britain were increasingly cooperating and actively seeking to claim prisoners of war from their own countries.
After all, hundreds of thousands of young laborers are being detained in other countries, which is a matter of great concern to the people - whose children do not return home, naturally they will not easily forget.
This is also the fundamental reason why Britain and France have become more and more cooperative after their surrender. Britain hopes to use its cooperative attitude to heal its war wounds as soon as possible; The same is true for the French side.
The Germans also actively cooperated and made conditions that as long as Britain and France were willing to cooperate, they were willing to release the prisoners of war in batches.
The conditions were harsh, of course, but because there were already additional clauses in the surrender documents, they also went well.
This time, Germany wanted to release a total of 200,000 British and French prisoners of war, as well as Belgium, Denmark, Norway and other countries.
Before these prisoners of war were released and returned home, they were instilled with some ideas that Germany wanted them to remember, and let them bring back some public opinion and news, which is why Germany broadcast documentaries.
As long as 1 in 10 or even 1 percent of the population is willing to believe some of these documentaries, then the German propaganda has worked as well as it should.
