It seems you have never seen the only two movies Riefenstahl ever made for
the Nazis.  There is little of adulation of the Master Race in these,
though there IS a lot about adulating the Nazi Party.  The rest of her
career under the Nazis was as a dancer and actress.  Again, have you ever
condemned Curt Jurgens, a favorite of Goebbels?

And have you read Riefenstahl's rather self-serving biography?  Learn,
friend, before you speak!
