When institutional power decides love is a crime, punishment doesn’t arrive with violence — it arrives with paperwork, tribunals, and sealed decisions.
In 1808, Prince Augustus of Prussia was not accused of treason, conspiracy, or military failure. He was court-martialed by his own family’s army for marrying without royal permission.
This documentary exposes how the Prussian monarchy weaponized military law, palace surveillance, and royal marriage statutes to systematically erase one of its own princes. Through archived court records, intelligence reports, and sealed administrative files, we trace how love became institutional defiance — and how a royal court-martial was engineered not to judge, but to destroy.
Prince Augustus lost his military rank, royal status, succession rights, income, and social existence. His punishment was not private. It was institutional theater, designed to intimidate other royals and enforce absolute obedience over intimate life.
But the destruction did not end with exile. Palace archives reveal a second operation: historical erasure. Files were restricted, records sanitized, and narratives rewritten to transform institutional persecution into personal failure.
This is not a story about romance.
It is a story about power — and how monarchies used law, surveillance, and military courts to control love itself.
