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.

"The quality of the films is fantastic. The Nazis were obsessed with documentation of everything and tried to control every image - it was all part of how they took control of the country and its people ", - quotes Philippe Mora edition Variety.

Previously it was thought that the technology of stereoscopic or 3D shooting was invented in Hollywood in the 1950s. Then it is not widespread because of the high cost of equipment and the complexity of the entire process.
