Tannenberg (film)

Tannenberg is a 1932 Swiss–German war film directed by Heinz Paul and starring Hans Stüwe, Käthe Haack and Jutta Sauer.

[1] It focuses on German landowner Captain von Arndt and his family.

Tannenberg served as a national symbol in Germany, and was re-issued in 1936 during the Nazi era.

[3] The Producers made an effort to make the film as historically accurate as possible, and portrayed the Russian commanders respectfully.

[4] It was due to be released on 26 August 1932, the eighteenth anniversary of the battle, but was delayed by the censors acting on a request from the German President Paul von Hindenburg who was unhappy with his portrayal in the film and the premiere was pushed back until certain scenes had been cut.
