Talk:Homecoming (1941 film)

Country Poland, Austria

The movie was German, eventually German/Austrian. Poland was occupied at that time. So Country Germany, Austria Xx236 (talk) 15:26, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Austria was part of Germany at the time. So Country Germany. -Chincoteague (talk) 20:14, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

We should either link to German Reich or to Nazi Germany. Our artice Germany is about the Federal Republic of Germany, which did not exist at the time. (This article mentions Germany's history of course, but we should link directly.)

Btw, wikt:ewentualnie and wikt:eventually are false friends.

Plot

There is no mention of the scene where the girl's (Maria?), golden necklace is torn off by a heavy-set Pole with a buzzcut, who shouts, "Ja mam, ja mam" (I have it). Or is that a different movie? Dr. Dan (talk) 00:38, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

German soldiers?

Were they really saved by German soldiers? This part of Poland was occupied by Russian soldiers. It may of course be that

• German soldiers arrived there first, only later ceding the territory to the Russian army
• or, the film took liberties with geography

I was wondering about that, too. German troops did however fight in parts that were later placed under Soviet control (1939-1941). I specifically recall Lemberg, which isn't to far from Wolhynia. So it is possible that German troops where operating in the area, but I am not sure about that. One would have to look up on the German-Polish war 1939. While the movie has a real life background depicting real occurrences, the story is to my knowledge fiction. --196.210.144.251 (talk) 11:15, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

"extermination of Poles"

The article states:" it justifies extermination of Poles with a depiction of relentless persecution of ethnic Germans..." Either show us where the movie justifies the "extermination of poles" or remove it from the article. If it has been in commentary to articles it still could be mentioned in the article as example for lying about the movie. --196.210.193.251 (talk) 17:20, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

Absolutely agree with this complaint. There is no substantive evidence whatsoever (apart from fanatical Polish nationalists' fertile imaginations) that the German government wanted to "exterminate" the Poles. Maybe your fantasist writers (and the equally fantasist sources cited) are confusing Hitler with Stalin (Katyn)? 2A00:23C4:B607:CF00:707B:71E1:4CE:65BA (talk) 15:01, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
