Product Information

Im Film sieht man marschierende Menschen, die in Anlehnung an das Gedicht Männer und Buben von Theodor Körner singen: „Das Volk steht auf, der Sturm bricht los!“ Fast dieselben Worte hatte Goebbels im Februar 1943 am Ende seiner Sportpalastrede benutzt: „Nun, Volk, steh’ auf, und Sturm, brich los!“. Marcin Dunin, Archbishop of Poznań and Gniezno and Roman Catholic primate of Poland, was imprisoned for sedition by the Prussian authorities for ten months in 1839–1840 in the city [41] and after his release, he tried to organise a chaplaincy for the many Polish soldiers stationed in Kolberg.

Henceforth, the nearby former stronghold was turned into a village and renamed "Old Town" ( Latin: antiqua civitatae Colbergensis, German: Altstadt, Polish: Stare Miasto), first documented in 1277 and used until 1945 when it was renamed " Budzistowo". [7] [11] A new St. Mary's church was built within the new town before the 1260s, [33] while St. Mary's in the former Pomeranian stronghold was turned into a nuns' abbey. [7] In 1277 St. Benedict's monastery for nuns was founded, which in the framework of the Pomeranian Reformation in 1545 was then changed into an educational institution for noble Protestant ladies.

The message of Kolberg is resistance and none of the other Nazi prejudices made its way into the film. Kid Amid the Chaos: Maria rescues an adorable child who was separated from his family when their village is shelled by the vicious French.In its characterizations of Kolberg's besieged citizenry, the epic allegorically reflects the spirit of fanatical resolve to fight on that Nazi propaganda was attempting to instill in the German population during the final years of World War II. The film was directed by Veit Harlan, with music by Norbert Schulze." Kolberg is one of those more timeless tales, of a small town besieged by a vast, greedy enemy. It is a story of the small people holding to their honour and duty, and ultimately triumphing over the mighty. The movie is set in the Napoleonic Wars, but the message is for the people of Germany just as they are being invaded by the Red Army and the American and British armies. a b c d Winfried Schich, Ralf Gebuhr, Peter Neumeister, Wirtschaft und Kulturlandschaft: Gesammelte Beiträge 1977 bis 1999 zur Geschichte der Zisterzienser und der " Germania Slavica", BWV Verlag, 2007, p.280, ISBN 3-8305-0378-4

Der Film Kolberg ist ein 1943 bis 1944 gedrehter deutscher Historienfilm des Regisseurs Veit Harlan, der als Propagandafilm in der letzten Phase des Zweiten Weltkriegs den Durchhaltewillen der Deutschen stärken sollte. Er entstand im Auftrag und unter der Aufsicht des Propagandaministers Goebbels. Der Film bezog sich auf die erfolgreiche Verteidigung Kolbergs im Jahr 1807 und sollte die Auflehnung gegen einen übermächtigen Feind symbolisieren. In 1944, the city was selected as a fortress — Festung Kolberg. The 1807 siege was used for the last Nazi propaganda film, Kolberg shortly before the end of the war by Joseph Goebbels. It was meant to inspire the Germans with its depiction of the heroic Prussian defence during the Napoleonic Wars. Tremendous resources were devoted to filming this epic, even diverting tens of thousands of troops from the front lines to have them serve as extras in battle scenes. Ironically, the film was released in the final few weeks of Nazi Germany's existence, when most of the country's cinemas were already destroyed. In the May elections of 1933, the Nazi Party received by far the most votes, 9,842 out of 19,607 cast votes. [47] Former Red Army Gen. Andrei Vlasov had deserted to the Wehrmacht after his capture in the Soviet-German War, and raised an army of volunteers later called "the Vlasov Army" to fight for the Reich, but Hitler always mistrusted them, fearing that they---like Napoleon's German troops in 1812 in Russia---would turn on the Nazis, and so didn't use them. After the war, the members were virtually all turned over by the Western Allies to Stalin and tried as traitors to the USSR, which they were.
