Die mörder sind unter uns = The murderers are among us by
Wolfgang Staudte(

)
47 editions published between 1946 and 2016 in 4 languages and held by 854 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
The first film to be produced in postwar Germany. Wolfgang Staudte's narrative focuses on Dr. Hans Mertens, a former officer in the German army who has been severely traumatized by the atrocities perpetrated by his superiors. Tormented by his conscience, Mertens wanders through a Germany ruined by the privations of World War II. Returning to Berlin, he finds that his former SS commander has successfully transformed himself into a wealthy industrialist, apparently untroubled by his role in the holocaust. Dr. Mertens, takes it upon himself to administer justice to his former commanding officer, who he knows to be guilty of war crimes. This was the first and perhaps the best of the so-called 'Trummerfilme', films from the rubble. It was also the first film from DEFA, the East German production company founded in 1946

Zum letzten Mal sehen Anna und Otto Quangel ihren einzigen Sohn, als er 1940 einberufen wird. Kurz darauf fällt Otti "für Führer, Volk und Vaterland". Für das Ehepaar bricht eine Welt zusammen; Phrasen vom Heldentod für den Führer bieten keinen Trost. Anna beginnt anonyme Feldpostkarten mit den Worten "Der Führer hat mir meinen Sohn ermordet" zu verteilen. So hofft sie, die Menschen wachzurütteln. Doch vor allem setzt sie die Überwachungsmaschinerie des Nazistaates in Gang. Schon bald ist ihnen die Gestapo auf den Fersen und sie gehören zu den meistgesuchten Verbrechern des Vaterlandes ... Ambitionierte Literaturverfilmung und ein Stück deutscher Geschichte: Hans Fallada verfasste den Roman kurz vor seinem Tod im Jahre 1946, basierend auf Gestapo-Akten. Das Vermächtnis eines grossen deutschen Schriftstellers. (Quelle: Umschlag)

Hendrik and Willi are the owners and crew of a canal barge. They travel up and down the Havel River, have girlfriends here and there, and dream of a "solid" life. One evening they observe a young girl, Anna, who is apparently about to jump off a bridge. They both run to save her, but are "disappointed" to find out that she only threw a ten mark note into the river in hopes of ridding herself of a bad memory. Anna is persuaded to travel back to Berlin as a "passenger" with them, and the two friends soon fall in love with her. After an insulting comment from Willi, Anna leaves the boat, and the two men make an agreement with one another: whoever wins Anna back must forfeit his claim to the barge
