Walter Frentz worked as Adolf Hitler's cameraman from 1938 to 1945. Filming Hitler1 throughout Nazi Germany's war effort, Frentz enjoyed privileged access to Nazi leaders. His footage appeared in many German newsreels and propaganda films.2 In the early 1930s, famous director Leni Riefenstahl3 recruited Frentz to work as her cameraman. She valued his skill with a handheld camera. He created idealized, dynamic, and powerful pictures of the Third Reich. Beginning in 1938, Frentz traveled throughout Europe to film Hitler, sites of German occupation, and German troops at war.

The featured film is an excerpt from newsreel footage shot by Frentz on June 27, 1940. The clip shows Hitler learning about the fall of France.4 This clip shows how Frentz portrayed movement in his shots and played with perspective. Filming Hitler on a moving train, Frentz focused on the excitement of German crowds in Munich instead of just filming Hitler. Frentz believed that depicting Hitler from behind and showing the scene from the leader's perspective would make the scene more exciting to viewers.
