 Universum Film AG - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Universum Film AG, better known as Ufa or UFA, was the principal film studio in Germany, home of the German film industry during the Weimar Republic and through World War II, and a major force in world cinema during its brief existence from 1917 to 1945.
UFA was created on December 18, 1917 in Berlin as a government-owned producer of World War I propaganda and public service films.
In 1937 the Nazi Party bought up 72% of Ufa's shares, and in 1942 UFA was totally nationalized by the Third Reich as the monopoly parent company of the German state's film industry, under which were absorbed all other production and distribution companies and studio facilities active at that time.

 Ufa and Hollywood > German-Hollywood Connection
Popular Ufa stars of the time, such as Hans Albers, the Swedish Zarah Leander, and Heinz Rühmann, had to bear the Nazi stigma after the war until their deaths, and few of the Nazi-era films can be regarded as classics in any light.
The once-mighty Ufa that had begun life in 1917 as an instrument of propaganda for the German army ended life in 1945—again an instrument of propaganda for the German army.
Ufa’s rise and fall is a tragedy as sad and moving as any film tragedy could be.

 Rezension - Margaret McCarthy ueber Kreimeier. The Ufa Story
Central to this two-fold role is the internal contradiction that characterized Ufa's mission throughout its existence: to cater to the yearnings of the masses, while always preparing "to submit to rules bred of lies and self-deception," (9) i.e., the demands of a State or other reactionary forces that often dictated the terms of representation.
The "birth certificate" of Ufa was issued on 4 July 1917 in the form of a letter written by Quartermaster General Erich Ludendorff about the need to put film to work to ensure the successful completion of the war.
Ufa's melodramas, comedies, Prussian films, waltz dreams, and barracks comedies captured the imagination of the people as leftist productions were unable to do, and by infusing such productions with reactionary forces, Ufa paved the way for the victory of National Socialism.

 Review - The Ufa story
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.
On the one hand, he focuses on the construction of the Ufa's board of directors, leaders all of the Prussian military-industrial complex, which founded the company as a war propaganda measure, sustained its anti-democratic thrust in the years of the Weimar Republic, and willingly integrated it into Nazi plans for world domination.
In point of fact, it was the decision of the Ufa's Board on March 29, 1933 to terminate all existing contracts with "Jewish" filmmakers, thus openly supporting the Nazi Boycott of Jewish business that commenced two days later on April 1st, that set the tone for the rest of the German film industry.
