3D technology was invented in the Third Reich





The first 3D movies have appeared in Nazi Germany. Such a discovery made Nazism Australian researcher and director Philippe Mora, find in the archives of Berlin's two 3D copies of the tapes. It used to be that the bulk of filming technology invented in Hollywood in the 1950s.

Philippe Mora has forty years of experience in the history of cinema art in Nazi Germany. In particular, he is the author of the documentary "The Swastika", which was first shown in "homemade" videos Adolf Hitler, who was shooting his girlfriend Eva Braun at their villa in Bavaria. He is now working on a new documentary project, which wants to show how the Nazi propaganda machine manipulated reality to control the population.

This is a picnic, and the main feature - the spray from fried sausages that fly straight at the viewer. In the second tape tells about six girls who went for a walk on the weekend. Both paintings lasted about half an hour.
