## Synopsis

Death Mills is a 1945 American-German film directed by Billy Wilder and produced by the United States Department of War. The film was intended for German audiences to educate them about the atrocities committed by the Nazi regime.

Wilder is credited with directing the English-language version; however, he later said that he didn't direct anything as "there was nothing to direct".
