The last wartime film by director Veit Harlan is about the heroic fight of the citizens of Kolberg against Napoleon's army during the Prussian-French War. Joseph Goebbels believed that the brave resistance of the city's defence would mobilise German civilians. This colour epic did not have the time to incite them: it premiered in late January of 1945 and reached only a small number of cinemagoers. (Summer Film School)
