518    Originally produced by DEFA Film Library in 1961. 
520    The Gleiwitz case reconstructs in detail the 1939 surprise
       attack by a Nazi unit on the radio station in Gleiwitz, a 
       German town on the Polish border. This attack was blamed 
       on Polish forces, thus served as Hitler's justification 
       for marching into Poland and starting WWII. It shows how 
       facts and opinions can be manipulated and how people are 
       made to accept lies, murder and war. To depict fascism, 
       director Gerhard Klein and his Czech cameraman, Jan Curik,
       use an impressive visual language, assembling groups of 
       people into ornaments and suppressing the individual 
       within the masses. Their insight into the fundamentals of 
       totalitarian power and violence met with disapproval among
       cultural politicians in the GDR and the film was accused 
       of glorifying fascism. A leading cultural functionary 
       actually commented that a Nazi director couldn't have made
       the film better himself. The Gleiwitz case narrowly 
       escaped censorship, but disappeared from theaters after 
       only a few weeks. Today the film is considered one of the 
       most modern and aesthetically experimental films in DEFA 
       film history.
