Actor Herbert A.E: Böhme plays the role of the spy who tries to steal the German aircraft for the British. Here is an original sketch drawn of the actor in his pilot film costume during the film-shoot in 1936 of Karl Ritter's VERRÄTER (TRAITORS), signed by the sketch artist, Fritz Meisel (for the Berlin newspaper BZ am Montag) and also then autographed by Herr Böhme. An original sketch found in our Collection. The white blemishes are touch–up spots used to prepare this original sketch for publication in the newspaper. At the right, Böhme in the film without his pilot costume.
