Universum Film AG (1917-1945)

Background
Universum Film AG (UFA) was the oldest German film studio created in 1917 and produced a lot of worldwide-known films. The studio later went into the control of the Nazi government and continued to work during World War II. After the war, the studio facilities remained in the Soviet occupation zone and was renamed DEFA, quickly returning to production, becoming the main film studio in the DDR and created many acclaimed movies until it closed in 1992. In West Germany, the film industry remained long dormant, although Universum Film AG was resurrected in the 1950s.
