What happens

The Noltenius Brothers (German: Die Brüder Noltenius) is a 1945 German drama film directed by Gerhard Lamprecht and starring Willy Birgel, Hilde Weissner and Eugen Klöpfer. Released in Berlin on 7 April, it was, by most accounts, the last of the twelve films released in Nazi Germany in 1945, before capitulation on 7 May (Via Mala received its first public showing on the same day in Mayrhofen, but did not make it to the cinemas before January 1948). It was shot at the Babelsberg Studios in Potsdam and Tempelhof Studios in Berlin. The film's sets were designed by the art director Erich Kettelhut. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
