Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Opfergang ("Sacrifice", aka The Great Sacrifice) is a 1944 film from Nazi Germany directed by Veit Harlan.Albrecht Froben is a shipping magnate who has come back to Germany after sailing across the world to Japan. (The film either takes place before the war, or in some alternate universe where German shipping goes around unimpeded.). He goes to visit an old friend, an aristocrat named Froebel. When meeting Froebel he also renews his acquaintance with Froebel's stunningly gorgeous Aryan-blonde young daughter, Octavia. Soon, they are married.However, getting engaged to and marrying Octavia does not stop Albrecht from noticing their neighbor, one Als Flodeen (Kristina Söderbaum, a Chronically Killed Actor in German cinema of the era.) Als is just as Aryan as Octavia and just as gorgeous. However, while Octavia is the Nazi ideal of German womanhood—quiet, nurturing, supportive—Als is a Manic Pixie Dream Girl who likes to do stuff like go skinnydipping, or shoot arrows at a target on a beach, while riding a horse and wearing a swimsuit. Eventually, the reason why Als is such a energetic free spirit is revealed: she has a terminal illness, and is determined to live it up while she can.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Anguished Declaration of Love: Als does it for both of them after she accidentally falls into his arms while they're wrestling with a horse.

Betty and Veronica: Octavia and Als are both beautiful. But Octavia is tall and slender and is a demure, proper German woman, while Als is shorter and curvy and fun loving and likes to swim in the nude. Octavia lampshades this in one scene where she grouses about how men gawk at Als when she walks down the street.

Cast Full of Rich People: Albrecht can just sail around the world whenever he wants, it seems. Octavia and Als live in neighboring mansions on the coast, and go riding around the countryside on horseback whenever they're bored. (This film was produced in 1944 when Germans were starting to really suffer as the war turned bad.)
