These poorly disguised propaganda films were produced by Germany''s top studios and featured prominent pro-German and Nazi actors, directors and technicians. The films were replete with overt and covert anti-Jewish imagery and themes, but in spite of this obvious intent to use the medium to justify Nazi ascendancy, viewers and film critics from such prominent publications as the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eVariety\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eChicago Times\u003c\/i\u003e consistently overlooked the films'' anti-Semitic message, dubbing them harmless entertainment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e   This is the complete history of German films shown in America from the founding of the Nazi government to America''s involvement in the war.
