One of Mezhrabpomfilm 's last films was Gustav von Wangenheim 's '' Fighters '' ( 1936 ) , about German workers fighting the Nazi Brownshirts and the SS in 1933 . It was made by German filmmakers and actors who had fled to Moscow to avoid Hitler 's terror . Ironically , 2 actors working on the set were arrested during the filming and by the end of 1938 ( during Stalin 's terror years ) two thirds of the film crew were arrested
