Berliner Ballade - film from 1948 starring Gerd Fröbe

Recommended Posts

Top film from 1948 with Gert Fröbe - a Heimkehrer - a prisoner of war returns to Berlin in 1948, to see that everything has changed since he was last home. Realistic film of it's time, showing how those who returned years after the war, somehow never really made their return to everyday life, never fitted in. They were lost, a typical symtom of this lost generation. After this film, the expression "Otto Normalverbraucher" came into use and everyday language.
