# The Endless Road (1943)

1943 · History · Germany

Original title: Der unendliche Weg

## Synopsis

The Endless Road is a 1943 German biographical film directed by Hans Schweikart and starring Eugen Klöpfer, Eva Immermann and Hedwig Wangel. It was shot at the Bavaria Studios in Munich. The film's sets were designed by the art director Hans Sohnle. It portrays the life of Friedrich List, a German who emigrated to the United States in the nineteenth century. Unusually the film was overtly pro-American at a time when the two countries were at war. This was possibly because the Nazi leadership hoped to shortly join the Americans in an anti-Soviet alliance and wanted to encourage warmer feelings between the two nations. Another pro-American film about Thomas Paine was planned, but never made.
