Plot

The full title of this jingoistic German drama translates as German Destiny on Russian Soil. Set several centuries in the past, the film dwells upon the hardships faced by German families who migrated to Czarist Russia. In typical propagandistic fashion, the Russians are, to a man, brutish and sadistic; there isn't a human being in the bunch. In contrast, the Germans are delineated as noble underdogs, whose pureness of heart and purpose enables them to transcend their misfortunes. Ironically, the Russian troops depicted in Friesnnot behave a great deal like the Nazis in Hollywood wartime films.
