Vera witnesses the persecution of ethnic Germans in Yugoslavia, which awakens her ethnic consciousness. Her cosmopolitan friend Alexander is arrested. Vera flirts with the Serbian commander to allow Volksdeutsche to escape to the border. When arrested, she proudly affirms that she helped her countrymen and, in an escape attempt, is shot, to die happy and heroic.[citation needed]
Unusually, contemporary Viennese film magazine Paimann's Filmlisten [de] classified the film as "forbidden for the youth" (für Jugendliche nicht zugelassen).[3]
Motifs
The film reprises many of the same motifs as Heimkehr, in an anti-Serbian rather than anti-Polish context.[4]
A sympathetic Croat aids the Germans, stating that all Croats should be friendly, and is murdered by Serbs for it, reflecting a widespread cliche of the friendly Croat.[5]
