Fritz Kirchhoff

Fritz Kirchhoff (1901–1953) was a German screenwriter, film producer and director.

He was a noted director during the Nazi era, directing film such as the anti-British propaganda thriller Attack on Baku (1942).

His 1942 film 5 June, showing the German defeat of France in 1940, was banned by Joseph Goebbels for unclear reasons, although it has been speculated it was to avoid offending the Vichy government.

[1] After the Second World War Kirchhoff set up his own production company in Hamburg.
