It was shown once a year for {{propaganda|machine}} purposes in every German cinema until 1945. The film was wildly successful at its intended purpose and to this day it forms a reference point for people's mental image of Nazi regime. Moreover, the extent that ''Triumph of the Will'' continues to be regarded as an innovative and groundbreaking film has its roots in a concerted effort by the National-Socialist state to promote the film as an ideal in contrast to various forms of expression the Nazis disapproved of.
