Assassination oF Archduke Ferdinand







In this photo, we see Princip being arrested right after shooting Ferdinand

1. First, in the document, the students are planning to kill just any Austrian, but then they decide to change their target to a more important, visiting, person. In the movie, the students are planning to kill Ferdinand from the beginning.

2. Next, as stated by the document, all of the conspirators are given a pistol and a grenade, whereas, in the movie, only the most skilled are given the guns while the rest are given the bombs.

3. In the document, it is stated that the Archduke is staying in small village outside of Sarajevo and has to take a train into the city on that faithful day. In the movie, Ferdinand is staying in the towns hotel within the city limits and merely gets in a car to start his tour.

4. Also in the document, it is stated that one of the conspirators takes pity on Sophie, but, in the movie, this is never shown and Sophie is only a minor character.

5. In the document, Princip gets a cup of coffee to celebrate the false assassination instead of the sandwich he gets in the movie.
