What do you think Hitler thought of Charlie Chaplin's film The Great Dictator?

Question

From http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour/documentaries/features/tramp-and-the-dictator.shtml:

"did Hitler ever see it? Screenwriter Budd Schulberg, who was present at the Nuremberg trials, noticed that the title was mentioned twice in a list of films that had been sent to Hitler; moreover, an eyewitness who was a member of Hitler's inner circle at the time is absolutely convinced that he did see it."

What do you think Hitler's opinion of the film was and why?

Answer 1

He would have thought it was funny

Answer 2

Interesting question.  Hitler is known to have enjoyed film.  I can't see him enjoying this one though.

Answer 3

Judging from the private personality (not the statesman personality) which we were told about by his close associates and family. He probably would have been amused, slightly angered at being ridiculed but amused.

     Since according to his secretary Traudl in interviews, she stated it was hard to believe for her that Hitler was supposed to have done all the bad things he did. Since in private, he was a humorous friendly guy who usually entertained his guests well, etc.. Read on the jewish virtual library, about his personality. Goes into great depth about how the screaming and raging statesman was probably a political face. And another Hitler, the one his friends knew was beneath it.

Answer 4

I heard somewhere that he thoroughly enjoyed watching the film, but banned it in Germany to keep the people from seeing it.
