         <link>https://www.kirsten-heiberg.com/news/initiated-by-the-gestapo/</link>
         <description><![CDATA[In 1939 all German police forces were directed under the command of Heinrich Himmler and the SS. Himmler was also leading the Gestapo and initiated the making of a film that should demonstrate the effieciency of this new and efficient police force. The film was the crime story "Falschmünzer", ("Counterfeinters"), and the script was written by the Norwegian Per Schwensen, who formerly had written the scripts for a row of films in Germany. His brother, Harald Schwensen, was chairman of the...]]></description>

         <link>https://www.kirsten-heiberg.com/news/a-feeling-of-melancholy/</link>
         <description><![CDATA[In "Eines Tages" ("Some day") it seems as if the Nazi film industry was struggling with certain problems, related to the message it should present to the German people. The film premiered in Berlin February 26th 1945. The German people was tired of the war, and Goebbels realized that the Germans had to gather strength from entertainment and relaxation. "Eines Tages" is a bittersweet love story, in which the not quite young woman Bettina Pahlen, played by Magda Schneider, falls in love with the...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[Kirsten Heiberg was probably very happy to get the chance to act against the famous opera singer Beniamino Gigli in her next film. This happened in "Der singende Tor", ("The Singing Fool") in 1939. The film was shot in Cinecitta, Rome, in German, later dubbed to Italian for the domestic market. Kirsten Heiberg portrayed Maria, the wife of the opera singer Carlo Franchetti. He is accused of having murdered the American musical produducer James Kennedy, and Maria witnesses in court to prove that...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[With "Women to Golden Hill", Kirsten Heiberg had involved herself in the Nazi propaganda. This would in many ways become her choice in life - and fate. She continued in the same fashion with her next film, "Alarm auf Station III". This is, as it seems at first glance,&nbsp; a crime movie. But if you take a closer look, you will see that it is much more: It is a film that prepares the German population for war. In the film, the customs officers are throughout the film acting in uniform, they...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA["Titanic" was supposed to become the definate breakthrough for Kirsten Heiberg - as one of the leading film divas in Nazi Germany. The film was an enormous and prestigeous project for Joseph Goebbels, with a price of 4 million Reichsmark, corresponding to a sum of £ 100 millions in today's value. The film was initiated already in 1940 and was planned to be a weapon against The Third Reich's main enemy at that stage of the war - Great Britain. The propaganda movie was going to convey how British...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA["Achtung! Feind hört mit!" was Kirsten Heiberg's first film as a full member of the Reichsfilmkammer, a membership she obtained April 5th 1940. For her previous films she had signed special contracts, for which the film companies had to get a special permission from Goebbel's ministry. This new film was a spy movie, being produced as part of a big campaign aginst enemy, especially British, espionage. Kirsten Heiberg acts as Lily, the English owner of a fashion boutique, which is used as a cover...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[Kirsten Heiberg still had a name in German film after the war. The German film industry was, however, still strongly influenced by nazism, most of its staff members had their background from the 12 years of service under Joseph Goebbels. What they were able to do, was creating melodramas with a nazi flair. Nazism was now forbidden by the allies, but few German actors, script writers and producers really reflected over or took a stand against what they had been doing in the past. They continued...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA["Rätsel der Nacht", (Mystery of the night) became Kirsten Heiberg's last film under the film regime of Joseph Goebbels. The sound mix was never finished, what we see in this clip, is the unfinished playback added to the scenes. The film is a mix of love drama and crime, the contence very much influenced by the fact that no one in the German film business believes in "the final victory" any more. The message can hardly be seen, if it shouldn't happen to be the last sentence of a certain...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[Kirsten Heiberg's follow-up to "Liebespremiere"&nbsp; was the spy film "Die goldene Spinne", also from 1943. The film was made to warn the Germans against espionage from the Soviet Union, and Kirsten acted as the Russian agent Lisawetha Rusjkin. Together with the fawning mr. Smirnoff&nbsp; she infiltrates the German armour factory "die Kattenbeckwerke" where tanks are being produced.
The German population started to get tired of the war, and the film was therefore presented as a thriller. The...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[The film clip below comes from Kirsten Heiberg's film "Love Premiere" from 1943. The film premiered in Berlin at Tauenzien-Palast 24th of August, it was also shown in Pankow. The day before, Berlin was the target for one of the most devastating bomb attacks during the war. A lot of fires were still burning, the town was covered by thick clouds of smoke; in the streets people were sitting in what was left of their furniture, unexploded bombs were destroyed and exploded, houses evacuated - and in...]]></description>
