Evaluation of the movie "My Fuehrer - The Truly Truest Truth About Adolf Hitler". %V 20 %X Effects of the movie "My Fuehrer - The Truly Truest Truth About Adolf Hitler" by Dani Levy were tested with regard to: (a) attitudes toward Hitler, (b) the perceived role of the German population in Nazi Germany, (c) the perception of present danger from national socialist tendencies, and (d) the subjective need for continued preoccupation with German history. A total of 110 Germans were invited to a cinema and randomly assigned to the control group the filled in the relevant questionnaire before the movie, or to the film group that filled in the questionnaire after the movie.
