God in heaven, Nathan!

I have no clue as to who Hamsun-in-Norway might have been but his name
apperars a bit extraneous to this discussion.

By the time of Kristallnacht, Reifenstahl had been shunted away by G?bbels
for two years.

In other words, any services Riefenstahl gave to the Nazi regime ENDED in
1936.  How does this make her responsible for anything beyond that point?
