About the film
Hitler's Reign of Terror is an 1934 anti-fascist independent film that attacked the activities of Adolf Hitler in Nazi Germany, and is often credited as being the "first-ever American anti-Nazi film." The film is a combination of newsreel footage, documentary, and reenactment. Despite the fact that the New York State Censor Board refused the film a license, it played for two weeks in New York City theaters which filled to capacity.
In Chicago, the film was only released after the title was changed to Hitler Reigns to placate the German government.
