Rubble film (German: Trümmerfilm) was the style of choice for those films made directly after World War II dealing with the impact of the ravages of the War on the countries at the center of battle. The style is characterized by its use of location exteriors among the "rubble" of bombed-down cities to bring the gritty, depressing reality of the lives of the civilian survivors in those early years. Notable films to utilize this style are Germany Year Zero (1948), The Murderers Are Among Us (1946) and In jenen Tagen (In Those Days, 1947). The style was mostly used by filmmakers in the rebuilding film industries of Eastern Europe, Italy and the former Nazi Germany.
