The Gravediggers

Rüdiger Barth and Hauke Friederichs

It's Autumn 1932 and the Weimar Republic is about to come to an end. One in three Germans is out of work, there are street fights between left-wing extremists and right-wing radicals, the political situation is coming to a head. A handful of men are struggling for power. The historians Rüdiger Barth and Hauke Friedrichs, both also journalists, have compiled the facts about the final winter of the Weimar Republic and convey history with an exciting reportage.
