Four Press Photographs of Propagandist Film Director Leni Riefenstahl

Black and white, each with a gloss finish, illustrating director Leni Riefenstahl (1. on the set of the filming of "Triumph des Willens" in 1934, 152 mm x 230 mm; 2. taking a break with two men on a movie set in 1935, 174 mm x 240 mm; 3. with a camera operator, undated, 172 mm x 240 mm; 4. before the Berlin Senate Opposition Chamber in April 1952, 180 mm x 240 mm), each of the photos stamped "dpa-Bild / DEUTSCHE PRESSE AGENTUR . G.m.b.H. / Hauptbüro HAMBURG" with various code stampings and pasted typewritten identifications on their the reverses, the first three photos stamped with a large "B100" on their reverses, extremely fine. Footnote: Helene Bertha Amalie "Leni" Riefenstahl (August 22, 1902 - September 8, 2003) was a German film director, producer, screenwriter, editor, photographer, actress, dancer, and propagandist for the Nazis. Born in 1902 into a Lutheran Protestant family, Leni Riefenstahl grew up in Germany with her brother Heinz (1905–1944), who was killed on the Eastern Front during the Second World War. A talented swimmer and artist, she also became interested in dancing during her childhood, taking dancing lessons and performing across Europe. After seeing a promotional poster for the 1924 film "Der Berg des Schicksals" (The Mountain of Destiny), Riefenstahl was inspired to move into acting. Between 1925 and 1929, she starred in five successful motion pictures. In 1932, Riefenstahl decided to try directing with her own film called "Das Blaue Licht" (The Blue Light). In the 1930s, she directed "Triumph des Willens" (Triumph of the Will) and "Olympia", resulting in worldwide attention and acclaim. Both movies are widely considered two of the most effective, and technically innovative, propaganda films ever made. Her involvement in "Triumph des Willens", however, would significantly damage her career and reputation after the war. The exact nature of her relationship with Nazi Party leader Adolf Hitler remains a matter of debate, although a friendship is known to have existed. After the war, Riefenstahl was arrested, but classified as being a "fellow traveller" only and was not associated with war crimes. Throughout her life, she denied having known about the Holocaust, and won nearly fifty libel cases. Besides directing, Riefenstahl released an autobiography and wrote several books on the Nuba people. Riefenstahl died of cancer in 2003 at the age of 101 and was buried at Munich Waldfriedhof. She was praised for her body of work following her death and remains one of the most acclaimed movie directors.
