Now, To prepare myself to read Alexis Pogorelskin's new 2024 book Hollywood and the Nazis on the Eve of War: The Case of The Mortal Storm, I viewed the 2010 DVD version of the 1940 MGM movie The Mortal Storm about "the impact on Germans after Hitler becomes chancellor of Germany and gains unlimited power" (according to the Wikipedia entry on the movie "The Mortal Storm") on the big-screen television in the living room of my home in Duluth, Minnesota.
The 1940 Hollywood movie The Mortal Storm stars the following cast:
Margaret Sullavan (1909-1960), as the non-Aryan Freya Roth, daughter of the non-Ayran Professor Viktor Roth and his Aryan wife Amelie Roth - in effect, an independent Jewish feminist in this 1940 Hollywood movie; in the end, Freya attempts to escape, on skis, from Germany into Austria with the pacifist Martin Breitner; but they are tracked down by Freya's former fiance' Nazi Fritz Marberg and Nazi soldiers; Fritz orders the soldiers to open fire on the two skiers; Freya is hit; she dies over the border in Austria.
For further information about Margaret Sullavan, see the Wikipedia entry "Margaret Sullavan":
James Stewart (1908-1997), as the wholesome Aryan pacifist Martin Breitner, one of the non-Aryan Professor Viktor Roth's students; in the great Hollywood tradition of good guys versus bad guys, you know from the outset of the movie that the wholesome Aryan pacifist Martin Breitner is going to be the lead good guy in this 1940 Hollywood movie and that the Nazis are going to be the bad guys; this 1940 MGM movie was not designed to make the Nazi propaganda department in Germany happy; but Hitler and the Nazis were truly bad guys - the Holocaust was evil.
For further information about James Stewart, see the long (52 single-spaced pages printed out) Wikipedia entry about the remarkable "James Stewart":
Robert Young (1907-1998), as the handsome Aryan Nazi Fritz Marberg, a Nazi, another one of the non-Ayran Professor Viktor Roth's students, who wants to marry non-Aryan Freya Roth; the misogynistic Aryan Nazi Fritz Marberg is the lead bad guy in the 1940 Hollywood movie about the Nazi bad guys in Germany.
