Dr. Hart's Diary
''Dr. Hart's Diary'' (German: ''Das Tagebuch des Dr. Hart'') is a 1917 German silent war film directed by Paul Leni and starring Heinrich Schroth, Käthe Haack and Dagny Servaes. The film depicts a German field hospital in occupied Russian Poland during the ongoing First World War. The film was created as part of a major effort to propagandize the German-Polish friendship that leads to the re-establishment of Poland by German forces in late 1916. It was produced by Paul Davidson's PAGU in association with the propaganda agency BUFA. Shortly afterwards, hoping to produce a number of similar films, the German government founded UFA which PAGU merged into.Prawer p.4 Cast * Heinrich Schroth as Dr. Robert Hart * Käthe Haack as Schlossherrin Ursula von Hohenau * Dagny Servaes as Jadwiga Bransky * Ernst Hofmann as Graf Bronislaw Krascinsky * Adolf Klein Adolf Klein (15 August 1847 – 11 March 1931) was an Austrian actor and theatre director.
