You borke it, you bought it

No one likes to admit they bought a lemon – twice.

Upton Sinclair, The Return of Lanny Budd

The Graf said that he had no personal hard feelings; German leadership at the top had been tragically incompetent and Germany had been defeated in a war which it had foolishly started. “As you know, Herr Budd, I was never a Nazi.”

It was the formula you heard all over Germany now. You heard it from the great industrialist who was trying to get back control of his plant. You heard it from the proprietor of the cafe and the waiter, and from the bootblack who sought your patronage outside. You might travel all over Germany and have difficulty in finding a single ex-Nazi.

“If an artist dedicates himself totally to his work, he cannot think politically,” Riefenstahl says. Even in the late 1930s, she chose not to leave Germany because, as she observes, “I loved my homeland.” She claims that she hoped that reports of anti-Semitism were “isolated events.” And her image of Hitler was “shattered much too late. . . . My life fell apart because I believed in Hitler. People say of me, ‘She doesn’t want to know. She’ll always be a Nazi.’ [But] I was never a Nazi.”

“What am I guilty of?” Riefenstahl asks. “I regret [that I was alive during that period]. But I was never anti-Semitic. I never dropped any bombs.”
