Blücher is a film about Colonel Birger Eriksen's role during the most dramatic hours in Norwegian history. It's a suspenseful drama about the biggest decision in the colonel's career. The decision had consequences for the course of the war in Norway, as well as personal consequences for Eriksen after the war. Set against the backdrop of April 9th, 1940, a night etched in history, the aging 64-year-old colonel is in command of Oscarsborg Fortress, a critical choke point that all ships must navigate on their approach to Oslo. Eriksen faces severe manpower shortages, a lack of critical information, and the absence of clear military directives. With the world's most formidable military force bearing down, his only counsel is his own judgment. Emerging from the fog on the morning of April 9th are several unknown warships. Eriksen orders fire from all the fortress' combat units. The German warship Blücher sinks a few hours later. In retribution, the Luftwaffe launches a relentless bombardment on Oscarsborg. In a fortified tunnel, Eriksen, his daughter afflicted by polio, and the island's military and civilian residents find themselves trapped for a grueling 10-hour bombardment. Ultimately, Eriksen surrendered the fortress to the German forces. The sinking of Blücher proves pivotal, stalling the Oslo invasion by vital hours, facilitating the escape of the King and government, and safeguarding Norway's gold reserves-all thanks to a 64-year-old on the cusp of retirement. While the outcome of the battle is well-known in Norway, the film delves into the lesser-known post-war trials of Eriksen. Confronted by a military commission, he must defend his actions against criticism for his early surrender of the fortress. Eriksen must fight a battle for fame and honor. The film combines two story lines and thus becomes both an exciting war film and a thriller intertwined.
