Heroic death was often portrayed in Nazi propaganda as glorious. It was glorified in such films as "Flüchtlinge", "Hans Westmar", and "Kolberg". "Wunschkonzert", though chiefly about the homefront, features one character who dies playing the organ in a church in order to guide his comrades, though he knows the enemy forces will also find him. The dead of World War I were also portrayed as heroic; in a film of "Operation Michael", the general tells a major that they will be measured by the greatness of their sacrifice, not by that of their victory, and in "Leave on Parole", the people are portrayed as being corrupted by pacifist slogans while soldiers stand their ground unflinching. Even the film "Morgenrot", predating the Nazi seizure of power and containing such un-Nazi matters as a woman refusing to rejoice because of the sufferings on the other side, praised such deaths and found favor among Nazi officials for it. Karl Ritter's films, aimed on youth, were "military education" and glorified death in battle.
