About This Movie

So, G som i hemlig is quite the intriguing watch. It dives deep into the history of the Siemens Geheimschreiber, this fascinating crypto machine from the 30s, crafted by engineers during Hitler's regime. The pacing is methodical, which really lends itself to the documentary’s cerebral nature. You get this palpable atmosphere of espionage and secrecy, especially as it unfolds how mathematician Arne Beurling cracked the code of the G-printer. It’s not flashy, but the way it presents its themes of intelligence and wartime innovation is really engaging. The practical effects are non-existent, but the archival footage and interviews really pull you in. A unique entry, for sure, especially for those who appreciate the intricacies of wartime technology.
