You should also check out the Soviet version(s), too. No one can even come close to their propaganda. They were the masters of this art. I really enjoy Soviet graphic arts and music. Epic stuff. In both versions (national/international), note the cameo roles played by women, typically decked out in the local peasant garb (well into the 80s in the Soviet case). In the Nazis case, of course, there was a substantial male homosexual subtext -- embodied in the Brown Shirts -- to the whole enterprise. The rally film quite effectively captures this masculine frenzy. (Also note: The Pink Swastika.)
I've been absorbing modern Chinese history lately, and it's funny how I quickly I associated that with the propaganda of Chinese communism. I forgot that I was watching something 'different'. Chinese propaganda was definitely less homo-erotic, however. Lot's of tough working women, front and center. I recently walked into a old commune gathering hall outside of Hangzhou, re-purposed as an art gallery. A great Mao was painted over the stage, slowly peeling away.
