Born into privilege and ambition, Hans Frank rose from a young lawyer in Munich to become Adolf Hitler’s personal legal adviser and one of the regime’s highest officials. Appointed Governor-General of occupied Poland, Frank ruled from Kraków’s Wawel Castle like a king — overseeing the exploitation, enslavement, and mass murder of millions of Poles and Jews.
Known as “The Butcher of Poland,” he turned entire cities into graveyards and lived a life of luxury amid the suffering he caused. Yet as the war turned against Germany, his arrogance gave way to fear and guilt.
This film traces the rise and fall of a man who once called himself “The King of Poland” — a loyal servant of Hitler whose crimes left a stain history will never erase.
