Victorious Return (Majup ar uzvaru)

Victorious Return (Latvian title Majup ar uzvaru, Russian title Vozvrashchenie s pobedoy) is a Soviet Latvian B&W 1948 (filmed 1947) war movie, directed by Aleksandr Ivanov and based on the play "Victory" by Vilis Lacis. A Latvian Augusts Grieze (Arturs Dimiters), Red Army Lieutenant, is wounded in action in Summer 1941 and taken as prisoner. He refuses to collaborate with Nazi, but nevertheless his name is used in German propaganda as if Grieze was a defector. Augusts manages to escape and under false name "Krum" he becoms a partisan. Now Augusts has to cleanse his name and to uncover a German spy, posing as Soviet soldier of Grieze's unit.
