Trump University : Doctoral Dissertation regarding Hollywood's "King Adolph" Trilogy (62.5% of Marks)

Adolph Hitler (1889 - 1937) is perhaps best remembered in the Hollywood series of films from 1941 to 1945. He was a German Gangster that nearly brought the German Monarchy to its knees. At the time he was regarded as somewhat of a "Robin Hood" figure that ensured the German poor shared in the Riches of the German Empire which we now know as Federal Germany.

The truth is hardly nuanced. During his "Reign" over 14% of German GDP found its hand into the sinister mastermind that was Adolph Hitler or "Der Fuhrer" as he was popularly known. In reality he was a ruthless mastermind who almost brought Germany to a disastrous war against its old enemies France and England.

However this piece does not concern itself with the rights and wrong of World Affairs, but orients on the Hollywood Trilogy concerning his actions. At the time the United States needed an anti hero against the imperial ambitions of the Kaiser's Germany who had taken Western Europe and threatened the British Isles.

I will argue that the films were driven by American imperialism in that the vast infringement of US patents displayed by Imperial Germany were not going to be ignored by their originators.

The King Adolph Gangster films set a new bar for Hollywood: for sympathy with the evil protagonist that has become the defining milieu for our civilized society.

I will further argue that "Fat Hermann" represents the greatest comic villain since Shakespeare's Falstaff.

I will take you through the Film Script and annotate my own insights into what today still stands as one of the greatest trilogies.

Part I: Awkward Phoenix

The movie begins in a meat factory. Our 2 protagonists are shoveling gizzards and intestines into a grinder. Both spot the normal cut of meat that has escaped into the mix.

Hitler (H.) Get your hands off its mine

Goebbels (G.) I saw it first

A fight breaks out. The supervisor is armed with a cosh.

Supervisor : Oi, oi, oi. Break it up.

(Lays in with cosh. Our protagonists return to their stations)

Supervisor: Hey a nice cut of meat; that's coming back home with me.

H: That thieving Bastard

G: One of us should have got that

NOTE : The was an extreme lack of food in Germany 1923 when this is set.

H: Adolf's the name. We should work this together.

G: Goebbels, pleased to meet you.

H: Two years of warfare for the vaterland and I am reduced to this.

G: You fought on the Front?

H: Yes, I volunteered at the start and fought to the end in 1916 in Dieppe. But the Kaiser didn't see it that way. Only the Officer class got any Liebenstraum. "Hey Adolf, we need a meat packer." So where did you fight?

G: (reticent) They never would take me. I had a club foot.

H: Show me.

(unveils the foot from his platform heel)

H: So I see - looks like you put it into the meat Grinder. Anyway I was looking for a man who had seen some action.

G: But I was in the Army - Propaganda

H: Doing What?

G: Making the People believe in our fight. Do you see that muck we are putting into the grinder? Could you sell that?

H: Sell me

G: Imagine you are taking your beau to the cinema and there is a treat you could give her: this mess goes into a Frankfurter and is the most delicious sweetmeat!

H: Hey, you're a swell kind of guy. I might just have a job for you. You know Fat Hermann.

G: Fat Hermann - you know him.

H: Sure, I do and if you got the balls I can see you making his acquaintance

G: Just tell me what I gotta do?

H: I hope those balls are real.
