Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

already thought about that. But it might take some time to compile all the data and stuff (currently, I am searching for the numbers for 1930-1933 when political violence was especially virulent).

Might be that I don't get around to posting it until christmas. Because I will be kind of buried in work for the next 10 days (ironically, my current work has something to do with the subject: I'm compiling a catalogue of documentary films and newsreels from 1918-1933 with footage about Weimar politics and politicians).

Does this include Brecht's film "Kuhle Wampe"? Or was that a "faux documentary"?  In any event, i'd love to get a copy of your catalogue when it's finished.

if everything works out all right, it will be online by February.

But the catalogue is only about documentaries and newsreels. I counted "Kuhle Wampe" as feature film (although it has some documentary footage). I would not call it a "faux documentary". It is the style of Socialist Realism that makes the film partly look like a documentary.
