Die Marokko=Deutschen in der Gewalt der Franzosen

A wartime film, billed in Vienna, made for prisoners abroad.

What

The 1917 Vienna poster for the Deutsche Bioscop film Die Marokko=Deutschen in der Gewalt der Franzosen, published by Rob Verlag.

Why

The film came from the book by Gustav Fock, German vice-consul at Rabat, and was made by agreement with the German War Ministry.

Notice

Its text says the film was made for the prisoners of war in hostile countries; Österreichisch-Ungarische Kinoindustrie rented it under the Monopol-film system.

“Propaganda with a rental agreement.”
