Retour au foyer (1941)

Heimkehr

Tourné sur ordre express de Goebbels pour justifier l’invasion de la Pologne le 1er septembre 1939, et qui est parfois considéré comme le film de propagande nazie le plus abouti 24. On y voit les Allemands de Pologne réclamer en vain le respect des minorités et subir les pires humiliations. Ils sont sauvés des mains de Polonais enragés par les troupes du Reich.

Homecoming is a 1941 Nazi German anti-Polish propaganda film directed by Gustav Ucicky. Filled with heavy-handed caricature, it justifies extermination of Poles with a depiction of relentless persecution of ethnic Germans, who escape death only because of the German invasion.

Production

Gustav Ucicky and Gerhard Menzel were inspired to make Homecoming after receiving accounts of Volhynian Germans coming to Germany from Soviet-occupied Poland. Ucicky and Menzel previously made Refugees.

The set locations were chosen in late August and early September 1940 by a Wien-Film delegation, which toured occupied Poland in the company of Lieutenant Wilhelm Hosenfeld, an Abwehr operative at the Warsaw garrison. Production started in September 1940, and cost 4.02 million ℛℳ (equivalent to $17,258,107 in 2021).

The indoor shots ran from 2 January to the middle of July 1941 in the Wien-Film studios at the Rosenhügel in Liesing, at Sievering Studios and the Schönbrunn Palace gardens in Vienna. The external shots took place between February and June 1941 in Polish Chorzele and Ortelsburg (Szczytno) in East Prussia.
