Death Over Shanghai (German:Tod über Shanghai) is a 1932 German thriller film directed by Rolf Randolf and starring Gerda Maurus, Else Elster and Theodor Loos. The Chinese Ministry of Education requested that the German government have the film destroyed because they had received reports that it "ridiculed China and the Chinese people".[1]
