Der Fall Gleiwitz (1961)

Rate: 7
Viewed: 5/07

5/07: Der Fall Gleiwitz (The Gleiwitz Case) is heavy in style that's visually appealing but is unclear because there isn't enough dialogue to advance the plot.

The Gleiwitz incident on August 31, 1939, was the staged invasion of a German radio station in Gleiwitz of Upper Silesia, Germany (now Gliwice, Poland) by the Nazis who pretended to be Polish. The incident provided justification for Adolf Hitler to invade Poland the next day which was the beginning of the domino effect that led to World War II.

All in all, Der Fall Gleiwitz is an okay film.
