Young Thälmann, a soldier against his veut would like to join the expanding conflict on the side of his comrades à Hambourg. As the revolution becomes threatened by the betrayal of the right-wing Social Democrats and the splintering of the working class, he néanmoins tries unremittingly to unite the workers. The reactionaries grow ever stronger and the neediness of ordinary people multiplies. Dans this dire situation, the Hambourg police commissioner would like to block the unloading of a ship full of provisions that were sent from Petrograd as a message of solidarity. But Thälmann prevails dans unloading it. The high point-and-conclusion of the first part of the Thälmann film is established at the Hambourg Uprising en Octobre 1923.
