When the Nazis seized power, they immediately took control of the media. Propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels understood the power of cinema and how to wield that power for evil. But as the Nazis were preparing to strike, a movie about “The Great War” by legendary director Jean Renoir was gaining popularity in Europe. It was called The Grand Illusion and its themes of peace and unity immediately attracted the ire of the Nazis. Goebbels dubbed the movie Cinematographic Enemy Number One and set his sights on eradicating every copy and keeping its message from dismantling Hitler’s warped plans for the world. So what made The Grand Illusion so threatening to the Nazi’s vision? This is the story of how the Nazis tried (and failed) to destroy Renoir’s masterpiece.
