James Cameron and his team may be getting all the credit of innovating the 3D high watermark technology, but it is believed that the Nazis had got to the technology way before anyone could even imagine about it. Philippe Mora the ace Australian film maker has stated that he has come across two 3D films which are 30 minutes in length each that were shot in the year 1936 for the Third Reich. This proves that the Nazis had discovered this technology 16 years before the rest of the world came to know about it.
The first film is titled ‘So Real You Can Touch It’. This film features a barbeque with stereoscopic bratwursts on it. ‘Six Girls Roll Into Weekend’ is the second film and it features actors who were considered to be the best during the wartime. Moral also confirmed that the quality of both the film is simply superb. Mora also said that the Nazis seem to be obsessed with video recording of every single event and this also played a major role in enabling them to control the people and the country the way they did.
The films were discovered by Mora while doing some research on how the Nazis made use of films in order to manipulate the Germans. Eventhough the fact that John Norling and Joseph Leventhal won the Oscars in the year 1936 for their short film, stereoscopic films failed to make an impact in Hollywood until the year 1953 when House of Wax was released.
Mora also believes that this discovery states that the Germans were way ahead from the rest of the world when it came to technology. Mora also believes that there would be more such footage hidden in some part of Germany from the Third Reich. Mora has also made a film in the year 1973 titled ‘Swastika’. The film was the colour footage of some of the private home movies that were made in the Bavarian alps by Hitler and Eva Braun who was his partner.
