Naked Among Wolves is a 1963 East German feature film directed by Frank Beyer and based on the novel of the same name by Bruno Apitz, which was published by Mitteldeutscher Verlag in 1958. January 1945: The front moves hourly closer to Buchenwald concentration camp, the Waffen SS increases its daily "extermination quota". Several prisoners plan to rebel. Then the inmates Höfel and Pippig discover a little boy in a suitcase. But hiding him in the camp is not only extremely difficult, but it also endangers the work of the resistance.

The novel was first adapted for a film by Georg Leopold for GDR television in 1960. The actors Fred Delmare, Peter Sturm, Wolfram Handel, and Angela Brunner played the same roles in both film adaptations (in some cases even with the same dialogues). In 2015, a remake of the literary original directed by Philipp Kadelbach was shown on German television.
