Just reading Goebbels-—Leni was Hitler’s lackey hired to do all the major filming projects for Hitler-—they “previewed” and “censored EVERYTHING and EVERY IDEA-—everything she did was to create the idea of a supernatural and invincible Germany. Hitler probably wanted to be out of the Olympia “movie” because of his hatred of Jesse Owens-—he was furious that Germany didn’t dominate over a Black athlete-—and hated the success of the Americans.
BTW, Leni was extremely talented——but she was Hitler’s tool for control of the Minds of the Germans. It was agitprop 100 which they got from Hollywood’s Edward Bernays——Freud’s nephew.
Leni edited Hitler out because the Nazis figured the film might get AirPlay in America easier.
