 The Ufa story. a history of Germany's greatest film company, 1918-1945.
As perhaps no other film company in relation to its national film culture, the Ufa's changing fortunes are a barometer of the economic, political, aesthetic, and ideological struggles that make up Germany in the first half of the 20th century.
Siegfried Kracauer was the first to recognize the Ufa's role in German film and history, stating unequivocally that "the genesis of Ufa testifies to the authoritarian character of Imperial Germany", developing from this thesis his reflection theory of Germany's fall from Caligari to Hitler.
David Stewart Hull's Film in the third reich, on the other hand, placed the Ufa at the center of a supposedly apolitical filmwelt, a world in a vacuum where the "overriding concern was continuance of the artistic status quo and to hell with politics".

 Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television: The Ufa Story: A History of Germany's Greatest Film Company, 1918-1945
Ufa is situated where it belongs, at the center of German motion picture development from World War I through the collapse of the Third Reich, path-breaking in its entrepreneurship and paradigmatic in its blend of technological and artistic creativity.
Monocausal explanations, be they political, cultural or commercial, are resisted in favor of a dialectical interaction between film as mass medium, artistic playground and source of profit.
Ufa was mid-wifed by the German High Command and the German Bank in World War I; despite its later acquisition by a consortium headed by the radical nationalist Alfred Hugenberg and its relatively unproblematic 'coordination' by the Nazi regime, the company pursued strategies which resist simple categorization as reactionary or politically manipulative.

Despite the crudeness of the available technology, Westfront 1918 is at least as audio-innovative as Fritz Lang's M in its brilliantly extended, existential battle sequences, thudding sense of the material world, and close-to-overlapping dialogue.
Even bolder than the use of sound is the way in which Pabst makes monotony and terror tangible, returning again and again to ponder the scarred and denuded deathscape of the trenches.
Westfront 1918 feels as much lived as acted.
