action
After the end of the First World War , the frontline soldiers Hans, Fritz, Max and Girgl return to their Bavarian homeland. Girgl moves back to his farm, while Max and Fritz join the “Reds”. However, Hans sees Bolshevism as a danger to Germany and joins the Freikorps. He had tried to find work but had been turned down because he refused to join a party or union. A short time later, the Munich Soviet Republic is proclaimed. The revolutionaries are engaged in a Red Terror against which the Freikorps act. Hans can capture Fritz and Max, but lets them go. After learning that Fritz's family was killed in the fighting, they flee to Girgl's farm. This takes them in. A little later Girgl is arrested for aiding and abetting high treason and sentenced to six months probation. After his release, he unexpectedly meets Hans and takes him home with him. The other comrades from the front tell Hans that they are planning to emigrate and want to persuade him to go with them. However, Hans rejects this because he is of the opinion that people are needed to rebuild Germany.
Remarks
There are several anti-Semitic statements in the film . For example, the communists are led by Jews and incited to crimes by them. In general, the Freikorps and the front comradeship are presented as a preliminary stage to the Volksgenossenschaft .
