Did Joseph Goebbels dance?

I know this sounds like a strange question, and I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but does anyone know if Joseph Goebbels danced at parties? I know he was quite mobile and used to bound up the steps to his office, but I can't find any references to his dancing. Since he was such a ladies' man, it seems as if he surely must have. Thanks in advance for any info!

While I do not know if Joseph Goebbels danced or not, even if he did I believe it far more likely that his success with women was due to the power and influence he exercised as propaganda minister (which included power over the entertainment & film industries). Rather than social skills or ability.

Thank you! I'm still hoping someone might have come across this info somewhere.

You really should consult his diaries, which I believe, will give you satisfactory material to draw a conclusion. But, in summary, not only did he endure great pain walking -his deformed right foot turned inwards, due to a congenital deformity - providing enough pain to plague him almost daily throughout his life. Dancing, I would imagine, was not something he partook in.

His great vice (among other things) was smoking, which I recently learned was quite severe. He was apparently a sixty-a-day man.

He would therefore have been a good candidate for Karl Brandt’s T4 euthanasia Programme!

Not just Goebbels - the whole regime liked to strut its stuff:

Turn the sound up for the music or you will miss the full effect.
