As part of my current Leni Riefenstahl kick, I bought and watched (rewatched actually since I saw it when it first came out ages ago) the Wonderful, Horrible Life of Leni Riefenstahl, which if you don't know is a biography of Frau Riefenstahl. So, in the course of trying to exonerate herself and her work, Riefenstahl (who looks damn good for a 90-year-old) claims repeatedly that 90% of the German public supported Hitler and she was just part of the era, and so on and so forth.
90%!?!? I know the NSDAP led a mass movement and all, but this seems like an exaggeration to me. How much support did they actually have?
