Demokratie Lernen: Re-Education im Nachkriegsdeutschland (2006)

Between 1945 and 1952, the British-American newsreel "Welt im Film" reported about politics, culture and daily life in postwar Germany. At the same time, the military governments of the western zones authorized some 100 propaganda, documentary and instructional films. These together with the newsreels were part of a campaign to reeducate the Germans and dealt with the key question: "How do I become a democrat?".
