Schichlegruber Doing the Lambeth Walk

Schichlegruber Doing the Lambeth Walk is a 1942 short propaganda film by Charles A. Ridley of the UK Ministry of Information. It consists of edited existing footage taken from Leni Riefenstahl's Triumph of the Will to make it appear as if they were dancing to the dance style "The Lambeth Walk".

The film was distributed uncredited to newsreel companies.

Background
"The Lambeth Walk" was becoming popular in Berlin. In a speech that achieved attention in 1939, a speech about "revolution of private life" (one of the next big tasks of National Socialism in Germany), a member of the Nazi Party declared it "Jewish mischief and animalistic hopping".

The name "Schichlegruber" derives from Adolf Hitler's father Alois Hitler, who was illegitimate and originally named Alois Schicklgruber after his mother, Maria Schicklgruber.

Reception
The film reportedly enraged Joseph Goebbels to the degree that he ran out of the screening room kicking chairs and screaming profanities. Members of the Danish resistance would raid theatres and force the projectionists to show the film, among others.

As a humorous mashup that satirizes its original footage, the film shares similarities to 21st-century remix culture, particularly that of the post-2006 YouTube poop.
