Nazi film of Bismark who began the work

A SCENE FROM THE NAZI FILM BISMARK
   
The career of the actor Horst Caspar was that of a man whose manner reflected the tone and style of the " convinced National Socialist " Youthful, decisive, an inspired fanatic, these terms characterise Caspar in the German screen role he played during the war, from Friedrich Schiller [1940] through to Kolberg [1945]  Moviegoers were meant to see the young Friedrich Schiller as a rebel against authority in the name of genius and fatherland, had not the young Hitler suffered similar agonies in his struggle for the triumph of his will.

Goebbels the Nazi propaganda minister made much use of historical analogy in the wartime German cinema. No figure was more attractive to them than Otto von Bismark, the German chancellor and minister-president of Prussia, the man who unified Germany by enabling Prussia to conquer the Reich. Two wartime extravaganzas on the Bismark theme , Bismark in 1940 and the Dismissal in 1942. These movies not only embodied many cliches about the Iron Chancellor common in Germany, but were also successful in enveloping the past in the " national values " of the present. With regards to the movie Bismark the aim of the film is to present Bismark as the man who began the work completed by Adolf Hitler. In The Dismissal the last words of old Bismark are " Germany Germany. Who will complete my work " The audience was supposed to answer in 1942, Hitler.
