Overview

In 1812, during the French period, large parts of Germany are occupied by the troops of Napoleon. Several paramilitary Freikorps units battle the French forces, among them the Black Brunswickers led by the 'Black Duke' Frederick William of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel.

    Conrad Veidt is the chivalrous leader of the "Black Hussars", fighting a valiant battle against the occupying forces of Napoleonic France.
