New light for the early days of 3D film

Is not so long time, I did interview with The German filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl ( and I photographed about her). So. She was the one who made the Nazi propaganda films like Triumph of the Will and filming the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin, but we know, is otherside: Tarantino once called,
Leni was the best director who ever lived.

She also mentioned 3D-experiments by cameras.
Now according to The Guardian, Austrian filmmaker Philippe Mora recently uncovered two 3D propaganda films that date to 1936:
The first of the films, titled So Real You Can Touch It, features shots of sizzling stereoscopic bratwursts on a barbecue while the second, named Six Girls Roll Into Weekend, features actors Mora believes were probably stars from Germany’s top wartime studio, Universum Film.
Coincidentally, So Real You Can Touch It and Six Girls Roll Into Weekend are also the titles of the Third Reich’s favourite pornos. Ouh!
Mora came across the 3D flicks while working on a documentary about Nazi propaganda.
Some one asked for, you were Hitler's girlfriend?
(Leni laughed and answered the same way each time): "No, those are false rumours. I only made documentaries for him, not made love with him."
