After she filmed the OLYMPIAD in 1936, she did no other work for the Nazis and never was a social acquaintance of any of the Party Bonzen save for Albert Speer, with whom she had a long and rather flamboyant affair. Read her autobiography, published about a decade back, to see how distant she was from any Nazi roots. She was simply a cinematographer who was hired to make two films for the President of her nation. She was not a Party member, she attended no Party functions other than those which she filmed, and her meetings with Hitler and Goebbels were both quite rare and quite brief.
