Thanks for the correction. It's what I meant to say, i.e. the Rohm purge signalled the ascendancy of the S.S. over the S.A., and the treatment of the two in TRIUMPH OF THE WILL indicates that Ms. Riefenstahl was hardly a political naif. Those with a print or cassette of TOTW might wish to look very closely at the first sequence...Der Fuhrer's plane in the clouds and landing... presumably at Nurenberg...and figure out how many different planes were photographed to put that sequence together. They're all Fokker Tri-motor's, but with different markings! It's as though she was practicing for the wholly confected, but elegantly edited "diving sequence" in OLYMPIA. -Henry Breitrose
