The UFA was a movie company within Germany which was founded in December 1917. It was mainly used for propaganda for WW1 and to promote German Culture. During the 1930’s and 40’s it was used for Nazi propaganda due to it being purchased by Alfred Hugenberg in 1927, these films proved very popular within Germany at this time however internationally they were received very poorly due to the policies being shown within the films.

The government purchased the company from Alfred in 1937 and went bankrupt in 1945, was started up again in 1956 and declared bankruptcy again and so was absorbed into other companies and that is how the UFA still exists
