Occult Forces (Forces Occultes)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forces_occultes
Interesting pro-German film from 80 years ago during WWII. Those responsible for it were imprisoned or executed by the victorious Allies -- so, according to the Jews at Wickedpedia, the NS propaganda ministry must have gotten a little too close to the truth with Forces Occultes.

History
The film was commissioned in 1942 by the Propaganda Abteilung, a delegation of Nazi Germany's propaganda ministry within occupied France by the ex-Mason Mamy. It virulently denounces Freemasonry, parliamentarianism and Jews as part of Vichy's drive against them and seeks to prove a Jewish-Masonic plot.
On France's liberation, its writer Jean Marquès-Rivière, its producer Robert Muzard, and its director Jean Mamy were purged for collaboration with the enemy. On 25 November 1945, Muzard was condemned to 3 years in prison and Marquès-Rivière was condemned in his absence (he had gone into self-imposed exile) to death and degradation.
Mamy had also been a journalist on L'Appel under Pierre Constantini (leader of the Ligue française d’épuration, d’entraide sociale et de collaboration européenne) and on the collaborationist journal Au pilori, and was thus condemned to death and executed at the fortress of Montrouge on 29 March 1949.
From what I read, the Vichy French were responsible for creating the film, but I would think the German government at that time must have collaborated with them in some way on making the movie.
I've seen the movie three times, it is very educational. There used to be versions of it on Youtube with English subtitles, but I would think some of those have probably been deleted.
