Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Diplomacy (in French Diplomatie) is a 2014 Franco-German film directed by Volker Schlöndorff, starring André Dussollier and Niels Arestrup. It is based on a 2011 play of the same title by Cyril Gély.On 22 August 1944, as the Allied forces are approaching Paris, General Dietrich von Choltitz (Arestrup), commander of the Groß Paris (the German troops occupying the city), is ordered by Adolf Hitler to destroy the city. All night long, Raoul Nordling (Dussollier), a Swedish consul, tries to dissuade him from doing it.See also Is Paris Burning?, an older take on this story with Orson Welles and Gert Fröbe in the same roles, albeit as just one storyline among many others in the bigger picture of the Liberation of Paris. | |

Analogy Backfire | |
| Diplomacy (2014) / int_2b5ab7c1 | comment |
Analogy Backfire: Nordling compares Von Choltitz, who blindly obeys Hitler when Hitler orders him to destroy Paris, with Abraham, who blindly obeyed God when God ordered him to kill his own son Isaac. Nordling asks who would like to have a father like Abraham, who is ready to sacrifice his own son. Later, Von Choltitz tells Nordling that, if he does not destroy Paris, the Nazis will kill his wife and children, so he has to obey orders because he is not ready to sacrifice his children. | |

| Diplomacy (2014) / int_a90fff3 | comment |
Based on a True Story: The film is based on true events. The real-life Raoul Nordling tried to dissuade Von Choltitz from destroying Paris, but the real story is heavily dramatized for the film. | |

Bookcase Passage: There is one in the office of Von Choltitz in the Hôtel Meurice. Nordling uses it to get secretly into his office. He shows Von Choltitz how to open the secret door: a book in a bookcase must be tilted. | |
