Archduke Charles Stephen of Austria | How a Habsburg Admiral Was Erased After the Empire Collapsed

Описание: He was born into the absolute pinnacle of European power—a Habsburg Archduke, a Grand Admiral of the Fleet, and a man explicitly offered the Crown of a King. Yet, he turned his back on his own imperial bloodline to choose a country that had been erased from the map.

This is the untold story of Archduke Charles Stephen, the ""Sailor Prince"" who committed what the Nazis would later call ""race treason."" How did a man born to rule the Austrian Empire end up as a common citizen in Poland? Why did his refusal to wear a crown lead his family not to a palace, but to a Gestapo torture cell?

From the velvet-lined drawing rooms of Vienna to the frozen forests of the Eastern Front, this documentary uncovers the tragedy of the ""Polish Habsburgs."" It is a saga of a father building a kingdom for a nation that didn't exist, two brothers fighting on opposite sides of a bloody war, and a dynasty that chose loyalty over blood. Discover the life of the King who never was—and the terrible price his family paid for choosing honor over power.
