Drama-documentary telling how Napoleon Bonaparte rose from being a penniless French soldier to create an empire, beginning at the siege of Toulon in 1793 where France’s leaders first recognised his tactical genius, immense bravery and boundless ambition as he defeated the English. Shot in authentic locations using a script based on documents from the time, including Napoleon’s own letters, the film has been written with the advice of modern historians.

Napoleon’s dreams of enduring empire were finally extinguished in a muddy field in Belgium, an anonymous piece of farmland that we now call Waterloo. This documentary analyses the significance of Waterloo in the context of Napoleon’s life, his personality, his political career, and his military capacity. It clarifies the facts and the forces that led to the great confrontation between Napoleon and Wellington on Sunday, June 18th, 1815, in the battle that engaged 200,000 combatants in an area less than two miles square, and left 50,000 dead or dying.

Germany's Ministry of Propaganda produced this 1944 film about Theresienstadt, the "model" ghetto established by the Nazis.
