Abstract
The organisational structure and political orientations of the Polish Newsreel, Polska Kronika Filmowa, were established in the Army Front Unit of I Polish Army Corps under General Zygmunt Berling in the Soviet Union in 1943. Valuable film material, although devoted mainly to the formation of Polish military units at the side of the Allies in the East and West, and to frontline actions, was shot by Army Film Units. The most difficult aspect of Polish life to show on the screen was the attitude of the new government to the representatives of the so-called ‘London’ Polish Government in exile and the several hundred thousand members of the Home Army, dissolved in January 1945, as well as the problem of the Warsaw Uprising. General Grosz, the Chief of the Polish Military Mission in Occupied Germany, noted that the PKF was: ‘often the final argument persuading people to return home’.
