    I wasn't able to comment about it on that thread, I was watching the history channel last night and they talked about it. They had actual camera footage of the event, I have to say it looked like a overwhelming powerful experience. There must have been over fifty searchlights on-top of that Nuremberg structure which had the concrete swastika that the Allies blew up -that was awesome footage too! I tuned into the last five minutes or so then when I clicked to see what it was called the next program had already started. I thought someone here might have seen it also?

    I have seen that program, quite awhile ago since I rarely watch that channel anymore. Their lame programing which seems to be slanting more toward Discovery style "reality jobs" than history.

    At any rate, if you really wish to see a good set of shows concerning that, I recommend you go to your local video store and pick up both The Wonderful, Horrible Life of Leni Riefenstahl, which has a very interesting overview of her life on both sides of the camera. And the full 1934 feature; Triumph of the Will (Triumph des Willens).

    Both are well worth the time and effort.

    What cathedral? Do you mean St. Basil's Cathedral?​

    Do you think it's wise trying to reopen a thread just closed yesterday by one Administrator?

    I just saw that the thread was locked so I posted this question about the documentary.
