    The main goal of the Nazi film policy was to promote escapism, which was designed to distract the population and to keep everybody in good spirits; Goebbels indeed blamed defeat in World War I on the failure to sustain the morale of the people.

        That’s what the Bolsheviks want you to think. In reality, Germany was one apolitical video game away from establishing the Kaiserreich over Europe.
