The Deka-Film GmbH , German combat Film GmbH , was a German film production company based in Berlin.
history
Deka-Film was one of the few film production companies that was founded in Germany during the National Socialist era . The National Socialist film policy was to reduce the tendency, the number of companies radically. Deka initially produced propaganda film, Nazi-colored reports and of their so-called. "Cultural films" also have to be propaganda for the Militant League for German Culture of Alfred Rosenberg .
Deka's first feature film production was Hans Steinhoff's costume and propaganda film The Old and the Young King with Emil Jannings and Werner Hinz in the leading roles. After that, the company - often under the direction of Rüdiger von Hirschberg or Heinz-Joachim Ewert - produced a number of other films that were mostly irrelevant in terms of film history and politics. The company worked with constantly changing production staff and did not have its own studios . Performers used repeatedly were Georg Alexander , Lina Carstens , Paul Hörbiger , Curd Jürgens , Friedrich Kayßler , Maria Krahn , Ludwig Schmitz , Albrecht Schoenhals and above all Marina von Ditmar . In 1942, Deka-Film - like all other remaining German film companies - was incorporated into the Ufi Group .
