Description
Crisis: a film of "the Nazi way": Herbert Kline made this breakthrough documentary as the storm clouds of impending war gathered over Europe in 1938. The film, which captures with evocative camerawork and ominous clarity the lead-up to the Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia, was shot at great personal risk to Kline and his crew members. Kline, a Jew born in Chicago and raised in Iowa, was in his late 20s when he began filming in the Sudeten region bordering Germany and took on the hair-raising task of not only passing as a Nazi sympathizer to complete the project but also smuggling the footage out of the Prague airport past Gestapo guards. The result is one of the first anti-Hitler documentaries ever made and a fascinating historical and cinematic document.
