Troy Tempest Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 First up, Der Hauptmann von Köpenick (the Captain from Köpenick). A true story, the dvd is available from Amazon, though it is the 1956 colour remake, but still a great movie. The 1931 b&w movie is my favourite, and received an academy award nomination. I urge you to check it out, you will not be disappointed! An excellent commentary of Prussia's blind obedience to a uniform http://en.wikipedia....i/Wilhelm_Voigt http://en.wikipedia....ick_(1931_film) http://en.wikipedia....ick_(1956_film) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troy Tempest Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 Next up is Deutschland über alles - Patriotika 1915. I always thought it was a Nationalist anthem about Germany being above everyone else, but that is a common misconception. It's about unifying the country way back in 1822 - http://en.wikipedia....%C3%9Cber_Alles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
