The Rothschilds (Die Rothschilds) is a 1940 German historical movie directed by Erich Waschneck.
The film is also known as The Rothschilds' Shares in Waterloo (International recut version, English title). It portrays the parasitic subversive role of the Rothschild family in the Napoleonic wars. The 1940 film has a similar title and a similar plot to a 1934 American film, The House of Rothschild, starring George Arliss and Boris Karloff, which was financed by the Rothschilds family in a failed attempt to present their family in a more favourable light . It is one of three German films that provide an independent and more realistic retelling of an earlier film. The others, both released in 1940, bore titles similar to films released in 1934: The Eternal Jew was a documentary-format film with the same title as the 1934 film and Jud Süss was a drama based on a 1934 film adaptation of a 1925 novel.
