Still, 'The Bonnie Blue Flag' has more punch!The Battle Hymn of the Republic is also very stirring and they were the good guys, abolishing slavery (only to have it re-instated here). For those who don't know it

Was he allowed to stay in India or did he have to get out?50 years since this remarkable German film-maker died
(I'd certainly never heard of him till I saw this report):

Thank you!I was wondering, I could see there was a gap in his film-making between 1939 and 1951 -
I thought he wouldn't have returned to Nazi Germany, but would have been interned
as an 'enemy alien' by the British in India, and that's confirmed on the archive website
put up by his family:

As he was a German national living in the erstwhile British colony of India, in 1939 he was interned for the period of World War II in an internment camp for foreign nationals, firstly in Ahmednagar, then Dehra-Dun and finally Satara and all of savings and assets in India were confiscated by the British. He and his family were finally released from internment in 1947 after which he returned to ‘Bombay Talkies’ which by now had changed ownership.
