Om denne film

Based on the chilling true story of the Executioner of Emsland, THE CAPTAIN follows a German army deserter, Willi Herold (Max Hubacher), after he discovers an abandoned Nazi captain's uniform in the final weeks of World War II. Emboldened by the authority granted to him by the uniform, Herold assembles a band of soldiers who heed his commands despite suspicions about his legitimacy. Claiming to have direct orders from the Führer himself, he soon takes command of a camp of imprisoned Germans accused of criminality and begins to dispense harsh justice. Increasingly intoxicated by his unquestioned authority, the enigmatic imposter in the uniform soon discovers that many people will agreeably follow the leader.

Superb. As a WW2 "aficionado" I've always said it takes Germans to "pull off" a great WW2 film. From the mercedes g4 to the uniforms. This movie does not disappoint.

Wow, this movie is incredible. The story is rich . The way it was filmed was in a artistic way which is captivating. This movie is a real gem. I really loved the ending with the credits...ingenious.

Pretty cool... showed and learned how it was back then
