Georg Elser - Einer aus Deutschland is a powerful and thought-provoking film that sheds light on a lesser-known figure of resistance against the Nazis. It portrays Elser as a courageous and principled individual who was willing to sacrifice everything for his beliefs, even if it meant facing certain death.
