But Hitler was not drinking
Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels is tasked with building public support for the Holocaust and the war Hitler is about to begin. During a meal on November 9, 1938, Hitler is seen with a glass of beer.

Presents Olympia Part 1: People’s Festival (1938). This film is based on true events, very historically relevant. The emphasis is on some important events that took place during World War II.

However, I hope that in the future we will see a miniseries that will give the viewer a more in-depth view of the use of propaganda during World War II.
