#Fact
1The Russian intelligence NKWD imprisoned Heinrich George and he had been interned in Hohenschönhausen, later in Sachsenhausen where he was confronted with harassments by Russian officers.
2The cooperation in propaganda movies and his public appearances for the NS regime had momentous consequences after the war.
3At the age of 19 he was engaged in Kolberg, half a year later he went to a circus, after another three months he acted at the Stadttheater of Bromberg.
4George himself has once described his acting technique as "controlled trance". His best screen moments occurred in movies in which he could act in long unbroken scenes uninterrupted by reaction shots. Examples include his plea in "Affäre Dreyfus" ("The Dreyfus Case") and the dance sequence in "Der Postmeister".
5He was the son of a former naval officer.
6George is noted for having spooked the young Bertolt Brecht in his first directing job, a production of Arnolt Bronnen's Parricide (1922), when he refused to continue working with the director.
7The once goodly Heinrich George lost a lot of weight. It seems that he had to undergo an appendectomy because of decomposed food, but died two days later. Other sources assume that the real cause of death was a famina oedema and that the operations was forged as an extenuation.
8In the 2nd part of the 20s he became a regular leading actor and his interests into the film business grew because of the possibility to interpret roles in movies in another way than on stage.
9After his return to Germany he got married with actress Berta Drews in 1933. Their son Götz George became also an expressive player who is as successful in Germany as his father was.
10At the age of 20 he closed a contract with the Hoftheater in Neustrelitz, with 21 he was called up into World War I where he sustained a serious injury. In 1917 he was dismissed on the basis of war unfitness. Further brief successive engagements followed till the great Max Reinhardt engaged him to Berlin.
11He stood up for so-called unwanted people of the Third Reich who he contracted for the Schillertheater as director of it.
12In 1923 he founded together with Elisabeth Bergner and Alexander Granach the Schauspieltheater in order to be more independent from the big theaters. Finally it was only a question of time till the film business came to knock at his door.
13Only in 1994 they found the remains of Heinrich George in a forest because of a hint of a cell mate. Due to a DNA analysis he could be identified. He found his last resting-place at the cemetery of Berlin-Zehlendorf.
14After permanent complaints of his town council George's father sent him to Berlin. There he got in touch with the theater as he took on casual works as an extra. His new dream took shape: The acting.
15On account of his great success in Germany he was engaged to Hollywood in 1931 where he acted in two German-language versions of American movies.
16When the political situation in Germany came to a head, George first was prohibited to work as an actor because for his sympathy for the Communists. But he soon came to an agreement with the NS regime und took over an active role in the propaganda machinery. This enabled him to continue his film career and he was convincing besides propaganda productions like "Hitlerjunge Quex" (1933) with his performances in "Das Mädchen Johanna" (1935), "Der Biberpelz" (1937) and "Das unsterbliche Herz" (1939).
17His father didn't agree with his wish to become an actor but his mother supported his intention. Now his life went on in rapid succession.
18Cooke and Silberman describe him as "the actor most closely tied with fascist fantasies of the autocratic and the populist leader".
19The young Heinrich George, who already as a child was stocky, lived only for his violin play. Later he was sent to serve his apprenticeship with a Stettiner town council. But the dream of George was to conduct a great orchestra.
20He soon became established as a complex character actor.
21Served in the German Army as a volunteer during World War I, repatriated after being severely wounded in 1917.
22Formed his own production company at Tobis in 1942.
23Some published reports state that George actually died of starvation in the Soviet detention camp of Sachsenhausen. According to these, the authorities pressured the camp physician to report the death as following an appendectomy.
24Although it is inaccurate to say he is actually a character in Peter Handke's "anti-play," "The Ride Across Lake Constance," his name is used as a designation of a character, as are the names of other celebrated actors of the German cinema, Elisabeth Bergner, Erich von Stroheim, Emil Jannings, Henny Porten and the twins Alice Kessler and Ellen Kessler.
25Is buried in the Städtischer Friedhof Berlin-Zehlendorf.
26Performed on stage under Germany's most famous left-wing directors Bertolt Brecht and Erwin Piscator in the 1920s.
27After World War II, he and his wife Berta Drews were imprisoned by the Soviet Army in June 1945, first in Berlin-Hohenschönhausen, then in the former Nazi concentration camp Sachsenhausen, where he died during an appendix operation in September 1946. His remains were found and identified in an unmarked mass grave in a forest near Sachsenhausen in 1994.
28Although being active in Germany's Communist Party before the Nazi takeover, he later played in a number of propaganda films before and during World War II, including Our Flags Lead Us Forward (1933) and Jud Süß (1940).
29Father of actor Jan George (born 1932).
30Father of actor Götz George (born 23 July 1938).
