Enemies (German: Feinde) is a 1940 German drama that centers on Keith, who is an ethnic German and works on a sawmill in Poland, not far from the German border. It is 1939 and the War is fast approaching. The Polish workers at the sawmill revolt and kill the mill's German owner, as well as threaten their German colleagues. Keith flees with the children of his dead boss and joins other German refugees on their way to safety across the borders of the Reich.

This film will appeal to viewers interested in banned National Socialist cinema and propaganda movies in general. Director Viktor Tourjansky, a Russian/Ukrainian émigré/refugee did not portray Poles in a very complementary way. Curiously, Viktor Tourjansky was collaborating with Gregor Rabinovitch, who I have no doubt was a soviet agent. So, I would not be surprised if Viktor Tourjansky was a Soviet asset too.
