TRIUMPH OF THE WILL is a propaganda film. The reason I believe this, is that a documentary is supposed to be completely unbiased. This film is basically a debate where only one participant is permitted to speak. Leni Riefenstahl does all the talking and the viewer can only sit and be influenced.
As far as the arguement of the footage being from real life. That's film magic. My last film was made using footage that I found in trash cans. My film had a message, but I can assure you that it wasn't the same message that was intended when it was shot.
Through editing, you can send a pro war message using shots of daisies.
