The Third Reich's Most Accomplished Anti-British Irish Propaganda Feature!

Set in an English boarding school, Mein Leben für Irland tells of the Irish revolt against British domination. The sons of Irish rebels are sent to an English school to become good British patriots, but they secretly await the day they can fight for their country’s independence against the British, who are depicted as treacherous oppressors bent on world hegemony. It was aimed largely at the Hitlerjugend market and was directed with assurance by Max Kimmich, who happened to be Joseph Goebbels’ brother-in-law. Especially effective is the ambitiously mounted battle scene in the noir-lit streets of Dublin; this dynamic montage sequence was brilliantly shot by the incomparable Richard Angst (Die weisse Hölle vom Piz Palü).
