  Considers anti-fascist films of the immediate post-war period, which depict the re-integration of former soldiers into society and the crisis of masculinity that accompanied the aftermath of the war. This work argues that the cinematic productions of East Germany offer a corrective to misperceptions about German responses to the legacy of the war.
