>> that all happens tonight on c-span2 booktv. >> that's when hitler and goebel have the idea. goal bowles is going to make the greatest propaganda film, the most diabolical epic.

so powerful it will turn the world opinion against the allies and for the germans. they are watching a movie that tipped them off and after the movie instead of debating like they usually do they sit and watch the credits roll. something dawns on them. the director, producer, the the actors, the cinematographers, they are all jewish. he kicks over all the church and that's when they come up with the idea. the film is going to make is the titanic. the story remains interesting today, doesn't it? 1000 years are now famous to be making noise and writing books about it but do not make the titanic. it will make a not to titanic, thus the title of the book. they hire the most beautiful actresses and models the most dashing leading men. they would allocate anti-military units to be the cast of thousands. it's like a cecil b demille economic, greatest story ever told. they assign an unlimited budget

and goebbels acts as producer. the bomb is that they can't find a director. it seems most of jimmy's great directors in the concentration camps. they find a guy named herbert's helping -- something. he makes movies like indiana jones. muscular, action, he marries action with the drama. so they hire him. he proceeds to make the most expensive film ever at the time. fortunately for us everything that could go wrong with the movie goes wrong. they run over budget. one of the actresses gets pregnant by one of the leading men. the german soldiers that are the extras wreck the set. they want to fill the sink at the titanic at night because the titanic sunk at night but germans under mandatory blackout because of allied bombing. you need big huge stimulant. goebbels and hitler get an exception. they let them fill at night with his giant lights. the set gets bombed.

everything goes wrong. hitler is desperate. goebbels is desperate. it's over budget. the directors ready to finish the movie but something happened. he arrived on set one day and everything has gone wrong. the director does not. he curses hitler, goebbels and the nazi party. the gestapo siding on set. he is someone to berlin and they kill them. surprising they can find another director to take his spot. they eventually do. they're basically shooting actors if they miss that you and get the understudy. finally the movie is finished. before goebbels shows the movie to hitler launched the epic propaganda film that will change the war, they wanted to open up a competition to get out end quote jewish hollywood. when it's great hollywood on the rhine. before they movie to do so, goebbels sits and watches the film and he has horrified. the director opposed the nazis. the film was filled with anti-nazi subliminal messages.

the captain a metaphor for hitler, the ship being a metaphor for nazi germany. goebbels orders the film destroyed. all that. for if you pirated copies survived. you can watch it today with english subtitles. >> you can watch this and other programs online at booktv.org. >> good evening. merry christmas, happy hanukkah. so glad everyone is here. first and foremost i would like to welcome c-span is here tonight, so you had to be on your best behavior. this is been taped by c-span.
