Homecoming (German: Heimkehr) is a 1941 Nazi German anti-Polish propaganda film directed by Gustav Ucicky.[1] Filled with heavy-handed caricature, it justifies extermination of Poles with a depiction of relentless persecution of ethnic Germans, who escape death only because of the German invasion.[2]
