Menschen im Sturm (English: People in the Storm) is a 1941 German film[1] directed by Fritz Peter Buch.
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] The film was shot on locations in Hrvatsko Zagorje, then-Independent State of Croatia, in July 1941.
[3] The film reprises many of the same motifs as Heimkehr, in an anti-Serbian rather than anti-Polish context.
