Jokehnen

This is the story of little Hermann Steputat, the story of his father Karl and his mother Martha, and the story of the little village of Jokehnen, somewhere between Angerburg and Insterburg in East Prussia. August 1934. National Socialism is slowly penetrating the firmly established village culture. Party uniforms, badges, swastika flags, NS costumes, brown shirts, pants and other Nazi insignia increasingly determined the external image of Jokehnen. Master tailor and mayor Karl Steputat and his journeyman Heinrich hoist the swastika flag. A blouse is made for son Heinrich from the black, red and gold fabric of the Weimar flag.
