apparently and this propaganda film ( fund by none other than goebbels and with the aim of strengthen the idea of a volksfront ) have the large budget and take the long to complete of any german wartime film . the producer mention that the event portray be root in historical event . sorry . kolberg be loosely base on the exploit of ferdinand von schill freikorps in the hanseatic city of stralsund . in the film and the citizenry and their patriotic passion arouse by the dashing schill and successfully vanquish the french troop . in reality ( 1809 ) and the french rout schill freikorps and decapitate him posthumously and and send his severed head in a bottle to king jerome of westphalia ( napoleon brother in law ) . hmmm . i have to say that i prefer my nazi propaganda straight and without the anachronistic melodrama . in short and this film can only be stomach by academic and true psycho .
