I think leni was a brilliant filmmaker, I love her stuff – shows the power of film to both convey beauty and ideas at the same time, without sacrificing either. But her claims of not knowing how the films were to be used, or what the message she so brilliantly conveyed was is poo-poo. It does not matter if she was a nazi or not – just as it doesn’t matter if anyone on the Manhattan project was a pacifist. Its the results that count.
As to her sleeping with Hitler I don’t see who is being slandered – I guess I don’t see sex as evil, compared to say, creating beautiful art that glorifies the achievements of the master race, and justifies a program of wiping the inferior.
At any rate – she traveled in Hitler's private train, was consulted privately by him quite often, and wielded a lot of power in the Nazi central command. Does this mean she was fucking him? Does it matter?

Riefenstahl was never Hitler's lover; you seem to be confusing her with Eva Braun, or accepting the WWII-era Allied slander/propaganda regarding Riefenstahl as fact....
