 The Gleiwitz Case is part of the DEFA Collection.
To justify their invasion of Poland at the beginning of World War II, the Nazi
high command hatches a secret plan: six Polish men from an SS training camp are
sent on a special mission to the town of Gleiwitz, to fake a Polish raid on Germany.
The ‘provoked’ Germans will thus launch a ‘counterattack’
on Poland.
Reminiscent of the Weimar avant-garde and Leni Riefenstahl in form and style,
this one-of-kind masterpiece brings to life an unforgettable true story.
