They showed this on TMC late one night a few years ago. I watched part of it. There is one scene where Hitler begins to speak and the camera cuts to the Nazi brass tilting their heads in the direction of their master. The shot was from below, so the men seemed to be larger than life themselves, panning down the line of them...Hess...Goering...Goebbels...I remember thinking it looked like a gallery of demons let loose from Hell.

This movie was shot to convey a sense of power about the Nazi regime. I can't imagine the dread it caused at the time among potentional enemies of the Third Reich.
