The film of the Fifth Party Rally of the National Socialists, which took place from August 30th to September 3rd, 1933, in Nuremberg. This was Leni Riefenstahl's first film for the National Socialist Party (NSDAP), completed at the request — if not, in fact, insistence — of Adolf Hitler. As with her 1935 films Triumph des Willens and Tag der Freiheit! — Unsere Wehrmacht!, although generally considered to be a "propaganda film," unlike the typical propaganda films put out by the Nazi party at that time, Der Sieg des Glaubens contains no running commentary and could technically rather be considered to be a documentary film — how any film is used by any particular group, however, is naturally an entirely different matter.
