La caída de los dioses (1969)
Crónica sobre las vicisitudes de los Essenbeck, una familia de la alta burguesía alemana propietaria de una importante empresa siderúrgica. La historia se extiende desde el incendio del Reichstag (1933) hasta la "Noche de los cuchillos largos" (1934), durante la cual tuvo lugar la matanza de los miembros de las SA. Tras la subida al poder del nacionalsocialismo, la familia discute qué posición debe adoptar respecto al nuevo régimen. Sólo uno de sus miembros, Herbert, se niega a apoyarlo, sobre todo a raiz del incendio del Parlamento alemán, razón por la cual tendrá que huir dejando en Alemania a su esposa y a sus hijas. Los Essenbeck no podrán evitar verse envueltos en las luchas de poder entre las distintas facciones nazis.
