Defector (film)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In German and Austrian film history, a defector is understood to mean a film that was produced during the National Socialist era but was only completed or premiered after the end of the Second World War . The vast majority of them are cheerful love comedies that in no way deal with the political and military situation at the time of their creation.
