    Die Entlassung (English title: The Dismissal) is a 1942 German film directed by

    Reich Propaganda Ministry Censorship Office.[1]

    The success of the 1940 film Bismarck led to this film as a sequel.[2]

    The film is also known as Bismarck's Dismissal in the United Kingdom, Schicksalswende (West German rerun title) and Wilhelm II. und Bismarck (new West German title).

    Plot summary

    The film shows Bismarck being dismissed by

    Bismarck's treaty with Russia and leaving him to lament with the question of who would complete his work.[2]

    Cast

    Release and reception

    The war with Russia delayed its release, and it was not exported, owing to the obvious parallels.[2]

    Motifs

    Much emphasis was laid on Bismarck's notion of

    Greater Germany.[2] His failure was depicted as leading to the Treaty of Versailles.[3]
