Im Jahre 1932 - Der Rote Kandidat plot
Documentary about one of the pillars of East German historiography, namely Ernst Thälmann and his candidacy in the Reich presidential elections in 1932. During the election campaign, the Communist Party, of which Thälmann was also chairman, had the famous slogan "Who chooses Hindenburg, chooses Hitler, whoever chooses Hitler, chooses War". Based on this, the film, which only uses time-bound film and photo material, highlights the last phase of the Weimar Republic from the usual GDR theory about fascism, which saw in fascism (and Nazism) only a form of the domination of everything. of big capital.
