The Gleiwitz Case (German: Der Fall Gleiwitz) is an East German war film directed by Gerhard Klein. It was released in 1961. The plot was reconstructed exactly according to the statemens of SS-Man Alfred Naujocks before British authorities at the Nuremberg trials.
The film themes the SS stage-managed Überfall auf den Sender Gleiwitz at the evening of 31.8.1939. This served national-socialist propaganda as a pretext to start second World War by raiding Poland the next day.
