Burning Hearts (1945)

Claus Clausen: Frédéric-Guillaume III

Quotes 

• Gen. Gneisenau : That time in Kolberg I witnessed the hour of birth of the German freedom. When Princes and Kings left their folk.

  Frédéric-Guillaume III : Gneisenau, you don't has a good opinion of princes and Kings, right? You don't have a good opinion about me too? Honestly, Gneisenau?

  Gen. Gneisenau : Wrong, your majesty. Otherwise I wouldn't stand in front your majesty. But a king has to lead his folk. This is his natural and godgiven task. And if he can't do it, he has to resign.
