["Urwand] also uncovered detailed records of regular studio visits by German
officials, including Georg Gyssling, the special consul assigned to monitor
Hollywood, who watched films, dictated scene-by-scene requests for cuts and
engaged in bizarre debates. (Did "King Kong," for example, constitute "an
attack on the nerves of the German people?")"

".a scrapbook in which Jack Warner documented a Rhine cruise that he and
other studio executives took with an Allied escort on Hitler's former yacht
in July 1945 as part of a trip exploring postwar business opportunities."
