After WWII, Riefenstahl was arrested and classified as what?

  • War criminal

  • Nazi sympathizer

  • Nazi "fellow traveller"

  • Spy

Answer

Nazi "fellow traveller" was the classification given to Leni Riefenstahl after World War II. This term was used to describe individuals who were associated with the Nazi Party or its activities but were not considered full members. Riefenstahl's close collaboration with the Nazi regime, particularly through her propaganda films, led to her being labeled as a "fellow traveller" during the denazification process.
