Blood & Gold (2023) [German]

At the end of World War II, a German soldier is looking for his daughter while an SS troop is looking for a Jewish treasure.

World War films are always fascinating. There are still so many true stories to be told about the darkest period of European history. With each film, one gets to see the horrors that most of the European countries went through and the heinous treatment of the Jews throughout the continent. Blood & Gold, a German language Netflix Original, is a fiction story set when the war was reaching its conclusion. Directed by Peter Thorwarth, the movie is about a stock of gold bars that some people want to get their hands on. A company of the German army and a mayor, along with his accomplices, in a local town badly want this treasure. Will they get their hands on it?

The film begins with German army soldiers chasing Private Heinrich and wanting to get a hold of him. Once Heinrich is finally caught, he is sentenced to death by Lt. Colonel von Starnfeld, his superior officer, for the crime of deserting the army. The army hangs him and leaves him to rot once he dies, but fortunately, the man is helped by a local woman. Her name is Elsa, and she happens to hate the Nazis for kidnapping her father. She tries to save Heinrich because she is intrigued to know why he would desert the army. Heinrich bonds with Elsa and her brother Paule over their shared hatred and forms an unusual union.

The company of men led by Lt. Colonel von Starnfeld reaches a town in Sonnenberg in search of the gold biscuits he had heard of. There was news of the treasure being hidden somewhere within the ruins of the home of the Lowensteins, the only Jewish family in town. They were forced to give up their homes, livelihood and head for the concentration camp because of Germany’s racist policies. The gold belonged to them, not the Germans, but the mayor and his accomplices, and later the company chief, wanted to get their hands on this stash of valuables for their selfish purposes. The Colonel comes across as desperate for the gold, but Robert Schlick, the mayor, is not very keen on letting the Colonel know its whereabouts. How will Heinrich’s life get intertwined with this quest for gold his former company commander has begun?
