June Fifth (forbidden by Allied military censorship)
Drama, Propaganda, War
Excellent picture in its genre. Lest you forget when this film was made, do note the pictures hanging on the wall of the criminal policeman’s office when he is visited by a Swiss colleague: those of the heads of the criminal police at that time – Heydrich and Himmler. Hitler’s portrait is also on a wall, plenty of Swastika and “Heil Hitler”. I guess that was the reason why after the end of World War II, all copies of the film were confiscated by the High Command of the victorious Allied Powers (so-called democracies), and its screening was banned.
