The family business was a major supplier of weapons. Krupp - A German Family (2009) Director: Carlo Rola Screenplay: Christian Schnalke Cast: Iris Berben, Benjamin Sadler, Heino Ferch Genre: Biography, Drama, History, War Film Country: Germany Language: German Release Date: March 22, 2009 (Germany) Plot: The rise of the Krupp steel conglomerate to the world's leading arms manufacturer is told from the deathbed of Bertha Krupp, who believes that a single firstborn Krupp should be the absolute head of the family, even if for the greater good of the family and the nation, and neither her son Alfried nor her grandson Arndt are considered good enough. Her mother Margarethe's first husband, Friedrich "Fritz" Krupp, inherited the Ruhr ironworks and rose to become Kaiser Wilhelm's trusted purveyor of heavy weapons while building a global trading network. However, her refusal to remain discreet about Fritz's predilection for handsome local boys on his Capri spa holidays and yacht trips prompted the Kaiser to have Margarethe committed to a psychiatric hospital. After the press got wind of this, Friedrich committed suicide, and she returned as chairwoman of the board, with a second husband chosen by the Kaiser, the reformed Prussian career diplomat Gustav Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach. The ruthlessly groomed heir, Alfried, and his almost-discarded siblings grow up frustrated and confused during the First World War, which costs Krupp imperial favor before ruining his throne but increases their fortune, even paying for the licenses of their British competitor Vickers afterward, and modernizes them, cynically enough, in bespoke prosthetics. As the bankrupt state collapses, even the Krupp capitalists turn on the communist revolutionaries. ······················································································ SUPPORT US! ✘ Become a member - https://bit.ly/36LBSOa MORE FILMS! ► Action: https://bit.ly/3GjD8EB ► Drama: https://bit.ly/3FaA0tf ► Romances: https://bit.ly/31OtbjE ► All playlists: https://bit.ly/3qaXHxn #films #freefilms #fullfilm ······················································································· COPYRIGHT: All of the films published by us are legally licensed.
