After 1945, Staudte also looked at German guilt in the cinema. AlongsideHelmut Käutner, he was considered the only German post-war director of any standing who, after 1945, could look back on continuous artistic filmmaking far removed fromHeimatfilm and the suppression of history. Staudte's films stood for politically committed cinema as well as for professional craftsmanship, for film art and (good) entertainment with a social claim.
His most important work came in the ten years followingWorld War II, in which he worked with theDEFA inEast Germany. The main focus of his work was to highlight the limits of German national pride. His work in anti-Nazi films, such asThe Murderers Are Among Us (1946), was also a personal working-through of his film career under the Nazis (he acted in the anti-Semitic filmJud Süß). Following 1956, he worked inWest Germany. By the 1970s, his work was no longer considered particularly modern and he moved to television. He appeared on shows such asDer Kommissar andTatort.
He is the great-uncle of the German-Iranian director and novelistAndy Siege.
