I would never forgive Richard Strauss for becoming the Nazis' culture minister until old age made him resign. And Riefenstahl actually produced films idealizing Hitler. She seduced the German people into following Hitler no questions asked. What difference does it make whether you use a gun or a camera to kill innocent people? The difference is that no democratic court will hang you if you used a camera. Bob
