Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach

Silent film with English inter-titles on the German Communist leader Ernst Thälmann and the campaign to release him from Buchenwald concentration camp.

Romm pulls out all the stops in his selection of documentary material to draw the viewer not only into absolute horror about fascism and Nazism in 1920s–1940s Europe, but also to a firm conviction that nothing of the sort should be allowed to happen again anywhere in the world.
