Heldenkampf in Schnee und Eis

Heldenkampf in Schnee und Eis (Heroes' Fight in Snow and Ice) is a 1917 Austro-Hungarian propaganda newsreel film made by Sascha-Film for the Imperial and Royal War Press Headquarters.

[4] The creator of Heldenkampf in Schnee und Eis remains unknown, but it may have been the work of the cameraman and later director Gustav Ucicky.

Ein Heldenkampf in Schnee und Eis consists of exterior shots on the Alpine front in Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol, where battles were being fought in the mountains at 2,000 to 3,000 meters.

It did not seek to contribute to strengthening the nation's self-confidence as an ordinary propaganda film might, but showed the limits of strength and endurance.

[8] It included some scenes previously shown in Beim Johannesfall in den Radstätter Tauern (1917) made by the same studio.
