Scene from Wolfgang Staudte's 1946 film, Murderers Among Us
The above scene is from Wolfgang Staudte's 1946 film, Murderers Among Us, which was produced by the state-owned film studio of the GDR (East Germany), DEFA. The film was initially rejected by the British, French, and American studios due to its political nature, but the Soviets viewed film as a primary means of re-educating the German populace after twelve years of Nazi rule and made it the first of the films produced by DEFA.
