ABSTRACT The observation by Siegfried Kracauer, one of the leading sociologists of the twentieth century, that the Nazis were more skilled than the Americans and British in the use of cinematic devices in newsreels for war propaganda purposes was thought-provoking in its day. It still prompts critical engagement with the texts under consideration, even as recent scholarship has adopted a more nuanced position with regard to the Nazi use of persuasive media. A comparative study of Anglo-American and German newsreels produced during the Second World War, with an emphasis on their use of music and sound, both questions and extends Kracauer’s hypotheses within the sonic realm. Music continues to serve the function of adding an affective voice to images in news media, which still count war reportage as one of their primary audiovisual vehicles for persuasive purposes.

激战：二战英美和德国新闻短片中的音乐和声音

摘要 20 世纪主要社会学家之一齐格弗里德·克拉考尔 (Siegfried Kracauer) 的观察表明，纳粹在新闻片中使用电影设备进行战争宣传方面比美国人和英国人更熟练，这在当时是发人深省的。它仍然促使人们对所考虑的文本进行批判性参与，即使最近的学术研究对纳粹使用有说服力的媒体采取了更微妙的立场。对第二次世界大战期间制作的英美和德国新闻短片的比较研究，重点是他们对音乐和声音的使用，这两个问题都质疑并扩展了克拉考尔在声音领域的假设。音乐继续发挥为新闻媒体中的图像添加情感声音的功能，
