self-censored any negative depictions of Nazis economic censorship self-censoring Hays Code Hollywood epic content
Hollywood also self-censored any negative depictions of Nazis for most of the 1930s in order to maintain access to German audiences. Around that time economic censorship resulted in the self-censoring of content to please the group wielding their economic influence. The Hays Code was an industry-led effort from 1930–1967 to strict self-censorship in order to appease religious objections to certain content and stave off any government censorship that could have resulted.
