“German Sudetenland Returns Home” – prototype of “Crimea. The Way Home”.(English)
Russian propagandistic documentary “Crimea. The Way Home” shown in Russia on 15 March 2015 was inspired by the 1939 German Nazi documentary “German Sudetenland Returns Home”.
Both videos portray German/Russian aggressors as saviors and liberators, and both try to convince their audience that invasion of neighboring countries and annexation of their territories is a legitimate right of the country-aggressor.
The irony is that in both of these propaganda videos the invaded countries (Czechoslovakia and Ukraine) are shown as cruel monsters and fascists, while the fascist regimes that attacked these countries are shown as peaceful liberators. According to these videos, Russia has saved Crimean Russians from devilish Ukrainians, just as Germany saved Sudeten Germans from devilish Czechs.
Unfortunately, Russian propaganda film “Crimea. The Way Home” turns out to be so shameful that its owners banned it from reposting on YouTube. Only original German video is posted here.
