Compiled as a tool for re-educating the population of the three
western zones of Occupation, this catalog lists 395 features,
feature-length documentaries, and short films that were forbidden
for public exhibition. The Zonal Film Archives originally held some
3200 feature titles and 2500 short titles. After viewing, those
found to be harmless were returned to their owners, leaving the
forbidden films documented in this catalog.
Each film entry gives credits (year, production, director, cast)
together with an evaluation of the content. The films are listed in
two sections: first, feature/feature-length documentaries and,
second, shorts. They are further subdivided according to character
and purpose (anti-American propaganda, or Nazi architectural
propaganda, for example). There is a complete index of film titles
and a list of all films produced in Germany between 1933 and 1945
by the Propaganda Ministry. An extensive introduction by noted
historian K. R. M. Short places the work and a selection of related
documents in full historical perspective. This catalog is a pivotal
document for understanding the policies used to reconstruct and
re-educate Germany between 1945 and 1951. As such it is invaluable
to historians of Nazi and post-war Germany.
