In her richly researched PhD dissertation Johanne Hoppe investigates the post-war fate of the films produced during the Third Reich. She looks at how the allied powers dealt with the Nazi film heritage; its (inadequate) reappraisal in the FRG and the role of the FSK. A particularly interesting chapter is devoted to how the Nazi film heritage was dealt with in the GDR, which stands in marked contrast to the West German approach. The allied powers banned numerous films (up to 385 at one point) for their glorification of National Socialism, racist content, or anti-allied propaganda among other reasons. In most cases the films were censored, only a few were banned outright. A mere few years after the end of the Second World War, many of the feature films made in Nazi Germany were screened again in West German cinemas. Both the allied powers and the responsible German institutions were driven by economic interests. This is particularly evident in the exploitation of Nazi films in cinemas then later television and on VHS and DVD, both within Germany and abroad. A historical-critical reappraisal of the Nazi German films has fallen by the wayside, not least since the banned films mostly only survive in the post-war censored versions. Demands made as far back as 1977 that the films be restored to their original uncut state unfortunately were ignored. In her conclusion, the author proposes tracing the history of the versions that resulted from post-war censorship requirements, which would indeed be a desirable undertaking.
