Oswald Hafenrichter was a Yugoslavian-born film editor began his career with a series of German films in the early 1930s and some Italian films in the mid-1940s.

He moved to England at the end of World War II, initially living in Hampstead where he married his wife Edith (Burbeck) in 1948, before later moving in Chiswick.
