German films since 1945

The List of German films of 1933–1945 are divided into this timeframe to reflect the period of Nazi Germany, between the time that Hitler rose to power, January 30, 1933, and when Admiral Dönitz surrendered to the Allies, May 8, 1945.

While not as highly regarded as the Weimar Republic era films, the films of Nazi Germany, mainly made under control of Joseph Goebbels, hold a fascination for many, both as historical documents of one of the most important and disturbing periods of 20th century history, as well as for their own artistic merit. While some of them are popular only within the Neo-Nazi subculture, comedies starring Heinz Rühmann rank among the favourites of all Germans, and the documentaries of Leni Riefenstahl have been influential, though controversial.
