Claimant - a Home Army soldier - biographyĪt present a captain of the Polish Armed Forces. All figures presenting Poles are absolutely repulsive and may by no means evoke any positive feelings in the viewer. In the film partisans never miss an opportunity to say something bad about Jews, as if their lives under the German occupation focused on this issue only. Taking into account their behaviour, they are simply a group of bandits, partially masked by uniforms and by white and red armbands with AK letters (symbols of the Home Army), worn by all partisans in the film - in fact it serves as a kind of caption for the viewer that these are a certain type of bandits (in fact armbands were never worn like this, except the Warsaw Uprising period).

All members of the unit are full of hatred to Jews. The unit of the Home Army is presented like a team of robbers, criminals wearing semi-uniforms that partially resemble plain clothes. What has to be emphasised here is that the film shows the Home Army and its soldiers in a very specific manner (in a negative way) in all scenes in which the Home Army is presented (Victor's meeting with the unit, all actions, including the climactic attack on a train full of people wearing striped camp uniforms, bargaining with peasants for food, expulsion of Victor from the unit). However, when they found out that he is a Jew, he was made to leave the unit, since most soldiers, including the commanding officers, had an anti-Semitic approach. He took part in numerous military actions, and his courage was appreciated by his comrades-in-arms. However, he managed to escape from the transport and joined a unit of the Home Army. As a Jew he was transported to Poland, to the German Nazi Concentration and Extermination Camp Auschwitz. One of the heroes is Victor, a German man of Jewish descent. The film presents a story of five residents of Berlin, in their twenties, during WWII, and to be more precise, on the day before the attack on the Soviet Union in June 1941. In the second and third part the Polish society (including soldiers of the Home Army) was shown as anti-Semites and nationalists cooperating with Germans during the Holocaust of the Jewish nation. On 17-19 June 2013 Channel 1 of the Polish Television (TVP1) broadcast Generation War at 8.20 p.m. The film was also available on the website of TeamWorx, and it is available at (in the whole and in fragments).
