Feldzug in Polen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Feldzug in Polen (The Campaign in Poland) was a 37 minute documentary/Nazi propaganda film depicting the 1939 invasion of Poland and directed by Fritz Hippler. The film is notable for presenting an account of events dramatically different from accepted history: it shows the Poles as aggressors and ethnic Germans living in Poland as an oppressed minority. It also highlights the "unheroic" tactics the Poles used in the war and their "senseless" defense of a besieged Warsaw. The film was often screened by German minorities overseas to clarify the German point of view.[1]
