“History is not about the facts. It is about the context and who is telling the story.” —Prof. Milton Fine. 

"Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past."   –– George Orwell in his novel "1984."

"If we have our own why in life, we shall get along with almost any how."         –  Friedrich Nietzsche

"After the end of an inglorious era, there is always a certain tendency to eradicate and forget, to remove evidence and documents from this period from historical use. This is especially true for those interested in film history when attempting to present the history of German film during the Third Reich." –– from a PhD candidate's dissertation, 1954, Munich.

The Gaufilmstelle organisation's use of film posters changed over time. Instead of using a brand new stand-alone individual film poster which would be thrown away after a film's run, a poster sheet with the Gau's header was printed en masse, and then an A4 sized handbill with the specific film tile and a short blurb was affixed with glue and put on display. Once the film ended, the poster sheet had the next film's handbill attached. This saved money and postage, according to Gaufilmstelle publications explaining this new scheme in 1937.
