...is this where the story of the 7 dwarves came from?

that came out far before ww2, but snow white was one of hitler's favorite movies.

The Nazis were obsessed with snow white and Hitler said it was one of his favorite movies. Snow white came out in 1937 so like having seven dwarves was probably something everyone joked about the way we used too with anchorman.

Snow White was also one of the most popular German fairytales for centuries before that.
