 In the following two years, Selpin ran into conflict with the Nazi Party for his sympathetic portrayals of the British in his films.From 1933 onwards he made propaganda films for the UFA studios, which was by then under the control of Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels.After several propaganda films that were not well received ("Schwarzhemden" in 1933, "Die Reiter von Deutsch-Ostafrika" in 1934, and "Alarm in Peking" in 1937), Selpin was successful in 1941 with "Carl Peters", an anti-British film.
