Films about the Nazi Era

The Historiathek – Picture Library for the Nazi Era is a collection of documentary photos and films produced during the National Socialist regime. This database provides insights into the everyday life of this era and serves as a basis for professional film productions for their own documentaries. The Historiathek film materials can be licensed through us for your own use.

zb Media GmbH offers film material and photos from the time of the Third Reich for purposes of political education, scientific and art historical research or teaching, and documentary reporting on contemporary events in print, film, TV, or online media. Licensing material may only be acquired for journalistic or scientific purposes and in no way used for propaganda purposes, especially in the sense of § 86a StGB (use of symbols of unconstitutional and terrorist organizations).

The database contains entries on a range of photos and films, including propaganda films, documentaries, and newsreels created during the Nazi era. In addition, the database on the Nazi era will collect contextual information that sheds light on the political, social, and cultural conditions of the time.

In addition to the films already presented here, we have collected more film material. For more information, contact us. Tell us about your project and the themes and motifs you are looking for, and we will get back to you promptly.
