Der Hauptmann und sein Held

Kellermann, ein Soldat mit vielen zivilen Anwandlungen, sozusagen ein “geborener Nichtsoldat”, bekommt durch Täuschung, die er aus Angst unternimmt, das Eiserne Kreuz. Daraufhin findet man ihn nicht mehr lächerlich. Aus dieser Fassade wird bitterer Ernst, als der zum Leutnant aufgestiegene “Held” entgegen einem strikten Befehl handelt, vor ein Kriegsgericht gestellt wird.

A post WWII German satire of the stupidity of a military culture so often associated with that country: An intellectual, civilian type totally unsuited for the army mentality somehow lands up playing the role, to the hilt, of a hero.
