The film Shock Troop 1917 is a Nazi propaganda film from 1934 based on the novel The Faith in Germany by Hans Zöberlein .

The film shows the everyday life of German soldiers during the First World War at the front and in the trenches on the western front. It was a huge box office hit with millions of viewers in its day. The original rolls and the film material were long thought to be lost . Eventually the film was reconstructed. With the help of the Federal Film Archive and private collectors, a complete picture and sound version was put together. For a German DVD version of Polar Film , this was cut by half an hour. In this nationalist and Nazi passages removed, as a comparison with a marketed in the US 107-minute version shows.
