Though far from a masterwork, the film is a revelation on many counts, offering a fascinating first draft of the ideas and techniques Riefenstahl would pull off so powerfully in Triumph of the Will. Until now-a copy of Victory of Faith has surfaced. As for Victory of Faith, it was long assumed that no complete copies survived, and the film seemed little more than an intriguing, if minor, postscript to Third Reich history. Again, Riefenstahl was commissioned to film the proceedings the results were indelibly recorded in her propagandistic masterpiece, Triumph of the Will (1935). But just as the Third Reich was eradicating memories of its 1933 celebration, party leaders were preparing for the next Nuremberg rally, slated for September 1934. As a result, the thousands of prints of Victory of Faith in circulation across Germany were tracked down and destroyed. Overnight Röhm became persona non grata, and all references to him were obliterated from the public record. Six months later, however, Hitler oversaw a bloody purge of many of his 'old comrades,' notably the Brown Shirt leader, Ernst Röhm, whose leading role at the 1933 rally, second only to Hitler, figures prominently in Riefenstahl's film.
Released in late 1933, the film was enthusiastically promoted by the NS Party as a masterful promotional tool in presenting itself to the German people. A key work in the evolution of National Socialist propaganda, it provides an ambitious record of the 1933 NS Party rally at Nuremberg.
