In The Collaboration: Hollywood’s Pact with Hitler, Ben Urwand, a Junior Fellow of the Society of Fellows at Harvard University, draws upon a raft of secret documents uncovered at archives in Berlin and Washington, D.C., to reveal how Hollywood studios actively cooperated with the Third Reich’s global propaganda effort. In order to assure a stronghold in the profitable German film market, scripts were abandoned or severely cut to suit Nazi officials. The creative partnership between the Nazis and Hollywood only deepened throughout the 1930s: Paramount and 20th Century Fox produced newsreels in Germany depicting major Nazi events, and MGM invested in the production of German armaments immediately before World War II.
