At first glance, this black-and-white video appears to show a traditional Christmas celebration in the 1940s.
But the happy children in the clip are singing carols under a Christmas tree topped with a Swastika and receiving gifts from high-ranking Nazi officers.
This is the chilling footage which shows how Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party celebrated Christmas – as millions of Jews were being sent to concentration and extermination camps.
In the remarkable propaganda footage, filmed in December 1940, Hitler can be seen dining with a group of children
The resurfaced footage – filmed in December of 1940 – reveals the festive vision that the Nazis Propagandists marketed to the German public.
In the videos, Hitler is seen enjoying Christmas lunch around the table filled with little children – whilst other Nazi leaders Herman Goring and Josef Goebbels laughing and playfully handing out gifts to kids.
Meanwhile other clips show smiling Aryan children enjoying the holidays – and a Hitler Youth group carolling under a bright-lit Christmas tree decorated with Swastikas.
Especially during wartime, Hitler encouraged the celebration of Christmas as a way to distract the German public from the realities of the Holocaust.
The video was created by the Nazi's propaganda department to show a blissful Christmas in Germany

However the Jewish origins of the Jesus and the festive commemoration of his birth as the Jewish Messiah was troubling for some members of the Nazi group and their racial beliefs.
So attempts were made to bring the celebration of Christmas in line with Nazi ideology.
Between 1933 and 1945, Hitler’s officials tried to remove the Jewish and Christian aspects of the holidays.
Nazi ideologists claimed that Christmas was based on ancient Germanic traditions. They argued that Christmas Eve originally had nothing to do with the birth of Jesus Christmas – but instead celebrated the winter solstice and the rebirth of the sun.

Hermann Goering, the President of the Reichstag, can also be seen in the video giving out gifts
In Nazi holiday posters, Santa Claus was even represented as the Germanic God ‘Odin’ rather than the Christian reinvention of Saint Nicholas.
To add to this, the Nazi Party claimed that the swastika was an ancient symbol of the sun and encouraged the German public to place the swastika on the top of the Christmas tree instead. Swastika-shaped tree lights were also sold.
During the height of the Third Reich, there were even attempts to remove the association of the coming of Jesus at Christmas – and instead replace it with the coming of Hitler, referred to as the ‘Saviour Fuhrer’.
This tradition failed to take off and instead the Nazi Party settled on depicting Mary and Jesus as a blonde Aryan mother and child instead.
Enormous rallys were also staged for the film which was intended to be a show of military strength

This is the chilling footage...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
