Wiki.
The Hymn of Leuthen (German: Der Choral von Leuthen) is a 1933 German film depicting Frederick the Great, directed by Carl Froelich starring Otto Gebühr, Olga Tschechowa and Elga Brink. It was part of the cycle of nostalgic Prussian films popular during the Weimar and Nazi eras. The title refers to the 1757 Battle of Leuthen.
The film was loosely based on the novel Fridericus by Walter von Molo. It presented Frederick as an inspired leader. It was shot at the Tempelhof Studios in Berlin. The film's sets were designed by the art director Franz Schroedter.
The film premiered four days after Adolf Hitler became chancellor of the Reich.
