Lambeth Walk: Dancing Nazis by Charles A. Ridley, 1941 [2:18]

The remix depicts scenes of Hitler and an army of Nazi soldiers stepping time to the extremely popular tune in 1941, the Lambeth Walk. The footage (which was appropriated from Leni Riefenstahl’s Triumph of the Will) is recut so that foot-soldiers march in time with the music, stepping forwards and backwards rhythmically, mimicking the popular dance steps in a comical way.
