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.
