Kolberg

Jan 30, 1945
Le film visait à galvaniser le moral des Allemands au cours de la dernière phase de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Il se fonde sur l'autobiographie de Joachim Nettelbeck, maire de Kolberg, qui avait raconté comment la forteresse de la ville s’était défendue avec succès en 1807 contre les troupes françaises, à la fin de la guerre de la quatrième coalition. Le maire avait réussi à transformer la population locale en une milice efficace et fanatique, malgré le pessimisme des autorités militaires sur place. C’est alors qu’un officier, le comte August von Gneisenau, qui devait devenir le feld-maréchal prussien réformateur que l’on connaît, avait remplacé le commandant militaire et, de concert avec Nettelbeck, avait tout fait pour conserver la ville au roi de Prusse.
