After 1938, he directed a number of feature films, mostly comedies.
Between April 1939 and November 1940 Brauer was production chief of Terra Film.

The Swedish Nightingale (film)
The Swedish Nightingale  is a 1941 German musical film directed by Peter Paul Brauer and starring Ilse Werner (singing sequences with Erna Berger's voice), Karl Ludwig Diehl and Joachim Gottschalk.
The film is based on a play by Friedrich Forster-Burggraf set in nineteenth century Copenhagen.
It portrays a romance between the writer Hans Christian Andersen and the opera singer Jenny Lind the "Swedish Nightingale" of the title.
It was shot at the Terra Studios in Berlin.
The film's sets were designed by the art directors Robert Herlth and Heinrich Weidemann.
Made on a budget of around one and half million Reichsmarks, it was a major commercial success on its release across Europe.
It is noteworthy that at the time when the film was made, Germany was keeping Denmark under military occupation but attempting a relatively conciliatory attitude towards the occupied Danes.
Germany was also making an effort to keep good relations with the neutral Sweden.
The theme of the film – made at a time when Joseph Goebbels' Propaganda Ministry kept tight control of the German film industry – obviously fit well with these policy aims.
