Fritz Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Original title: Der Stolz der Dritten Kompanie - comedy film starring Heinz Rühmann as a recruit, Musketier Diestelbeck, of well above average intelligence. The film shows a satirical view of everyday life in a typical infantry regiment, pre-ww1 The regiment depicted is fictitious, a typical infantry regiment of the period, "Regiment Prinz Willibald" - the uniforms very accurate, Prussian style, but the helmet emblems have deliberately been replaced by a fantasy emblem, also the shoulder straps bear no unit designation. The film was banned after 1933, but some copies survived till today. Humourous and entertaining, the military at the time was probably not very flattered. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
