"Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past."   –– George Orwell in his novel "1984."

"If we have our own why in life, we shall get along with almost any how."         –  Friedrich Nietzsche

"After the end of an inglorious era, there is always a certain tendency to eradicate and forget, to remove evidence and documents from this period from historical use. This is especially true for those interested in film history when attempting to present the history of German film during the Third Reich." –– from a PhD candidate's dissertation, 1954, Munich.

FROM THE CINEMA OWNER'S GUIDE TO PROMOTION (Werberatschlag) :

 

The Ufa film studio's suggested  'Aussenfront' or exterior advertising hoarding for a cinema presenting the film in 1933,which could be ordered from Ufa's affiliated printing company.

Our poster below is the so-called Fensterplakat, or Window Poster, printed on cardboard and distributed to shops and restaurants and kiosks for display. It is an A3-sized poster, or ca. 12 x 17 inches. 

We have been collecting and taking part in German and other film poster auctions for decades, starting in the 1990's.  We have also searched archives and past auctions on-line and can find only one single auction of an original  full-sized (A0) HJ Quex poster in fifty years. It took place in Hannover, Germany in April 2000 and the start-price was just DM1,400 with an expected sale price of DM2,500. In fact, the poster sold for DM4,000 plus a 15% auction house fee, or DM4,600. The exchange rate of the DM against the US dollar  that week was 2.0377 DM to $1. So the poster cost the buyer about US$2260,  plus postage.  Rumour has it that it was bought by a German museum. There is one such sized poster of the film in the Berlin Deutsches Historisches Museum but we are not certain that that one was the same poster won at auction in 2000.
