Koepnick's argument seems to be that German cinema used the American west to represent what Germany was dealing with at the time, for example, in terms of the value of technological progression (with the cowboys over the Indians) of German at the time. While I can see the application of the settlement of the west to concerns about urbanization, I don't really see the use of the west as part of any sort of Nazi rederict "which promoted the vision of a new man in the service of the new political order. " I just see the idea of a new frontier being explored, and the conversion from wilderness to urban centers and states. Perhaps I'm missing something, but...I just don't get it.
