Says a lot about Hitler.
Goebbels however hated Lang's films, and believed they were nothing more than Jewish propaganda. He had them banned.

of course, Metropolis is National Socialist propaganda, it was only when Lang made the second Mabuse film that the backlash started and also when Goebbels offered Lang directorship of UFA (the German film academy) and Lang refused, that the Nazis started to hate Lang
