"After the end of an inglorious era, there is always a certain tendency to eradicate and forget, to remove evidence and documents from this period from historical use. This is especially true for those interested in film history when attempting to present the history of German film during the Third Reich." –– from a PhD candidate's dissertation, 1954, Munich.

Drei Unteroffiziere

The film's plot involves three Warrant officers in the German Army. Various episodes of their service in peace time are shown and their strong feelings of comradeship - each is always ready to help that he even neglects his Army service. One of them falls for a young actress and becomes so infatuated with a young actress that he even neglects his Army service. The remainder of the film the deals with the efforts of his two comrades to save him from himself, and their final success. (Released in 1939).
