The talented director Steinhof, an ardent supporter of Hitler and National Socialism, uses the Marxist Jews’ favorite trick. He made a political film under the guise of an adaptation of Ibsen’s play. The film draws a clear parallel between Hitler and the main character, Dr. Stockman. The key episode of the film is 70 minutes into the film, when Dr. Stockman speaks at a meeting of city residents. In fact, it resembles Hitler’s keynote speech. The main ideas: elites are corrupt, the need for sacrifice and struggle for the common good and truth, the stupid solid majority, the people are a herd of sheep who do not want to hear the truth, the role of the individual and the need to have a leader destined by providence and leading the people to the truth, etc. The brilliant Henrik George embodied the collective image of a leader and tribune, including the style and manners of Lenin, Trotsky and Hitler.
