Again, Seth, what are you asking?  BD stated that there were specific
people, and I asked for their names.  Riefenstahl, in her memoirs, spends
several hundred pages discussing her involvement with the Nazi Party and
the wartime German film industry.

Let us not haul red herrings into the discussion.

So, again, just what are you asking for?  I am not going to spend my time
typing out the extent of her remarks (nor, for that matter, am I going to
violate copyright laws by doing so!).  I would simply repeat my suggestion
that those who believe that Riefenstahl has denied any involvement in the
Nazi regime ought to read her own words before stating this, as it simply
is not true.
