Aftermath or Burning Border (German: Brennende Grenze) is a 1927 German silent drama film directed by Erich Waschneck and starring Jenny Hasselqvist, Hubert von Meyerinck and Fritz Alberti.[1] It is noted for its generally anti-Polish tone. It was made at the Terra Studios in Berlin in late 1926. The film's sets were designed by the art director Alfred Junge.
