Show me any US or UK propaganda film that even begins match the technical and artistic quality.

They were just as much propaganda but not nearly as good.

To be frank the only British propaganda film I can remember offhand is [Hitbeth Walk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKsrQsKieZQ)

(Incidentally it contains Leni Riefenstahl film. Watch at your peril!)
