Heimkehr (1941)





This Nazi propaganda film attempts to justify the invasion of Poland--and thus the start of World War II--by "showing" how the ethnic Germans in Poland were were discriminated against and oppressed by the Poles, and how they were rescued from extinction only by the intervention of the German army.
