„All Quiet on the Western Front“ can be shown again

Since 2 September 1931 the Hollywood anti-war film, „All Quiet on the Western Front“, can again be shown in Germany in a slightly shortened version. German censors have cut out three scenes in which, in the opinion of those censors, soldiers of the Reichswehr are portrayed in an especially negative light.

Based on the novel of the same name by Erich Maria Remarque, the film had been banned in December 1930, only a week after its premiere, following violent protests by the National Socialists.
