THE SUMMER OF MY GERMAN SOLDIER (1978) M/f, t, belt, w

TV Movie based on the 1973 novel by Bette Greene:

Patty Bergen is a teenager in a Jewish family living in the American South during World War II. Patty feels like an outcast even in her own family and is unable to understand why her father can't seem to love her. Her town eventually becomes host to a prisoner of war camp. A young german soldier escapes from this camp, and Patty finds him hiding in her secret places in the woods outside of town. After getting to know him she ends up harboring him from his captors, and, in the way of many adolescents, falls in love with him.

In this scene, she gets belted by her irascible father on the lawn in front of her house, for having met a young boy from a so called „white trash family“. During the spanking, the hidden prisoner, Anton, shows up in order to save her, but Patty sends him back, taking the punishment…
