PHOTOGRAPHS taken during the shooting of a controversial film by Hitler’s favourite film-maker, Leni Riefenstahl, go on sale this week in Britain.

Nazi film pictures could solve cinema mystery

The 33 original photos from Tiefland (meaning Lowlands) include shots of young gypsy children who it was alleged were taken from Nazi internment camps and forced to take part in the film.

The archive also includes a 1954 letter in which the director vehemently denies the claim - and that the youngsters were then taken to Auschwitz, where they died in the gas chambers.
