I saw this film when it first came out. I enjoyed it, but spotted a blooper right at the start: the Messerschmidt 109 cockpit canopy opened to the right, not the left. Still a good film, though.
He was probably the only German who got back home, due to the fact they were well taken care of. My mother has a friend who was a glider pilot for the Germans. He was still touring the UK with a British guard long after the war had ended. He refused to sign a piece of paper saying that Hitler was not a nice person. I think he just knew how awful it was in Germany and didn't want to go home. You mention a place in Britain and he has been there.
another great film to watch is - ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT - outstanding acting by an almost all german cast - shows the humanity of all involved in the senseless evil of warfare - A very moving film that puts you right on the frontline of mans most grotesque insanity , and brings many a tear to the eye .

Another great film - ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT- probably the greatest anti-war film ever made - you can watch it free on google video- essential viewing
One of the best movies ever made.........a REAL movie......back when characterisation was more important than action or special effects. One must admire the arrogance, cheek, bombast and unwavering self reliance of Werra........a real one man band! Magnificent performance by Hardy Kruger........no one else could have played him!
An english film about a german pilot? With low- to zero propaganda in it? Thats more then you could expect from any other film, german or not, since german films do mostly the same anti-german propaganda shit... Visible, or not. In fact this film is without biased viewings. A film without hatred or distortion. Worth watching.
@000000AEA000000 the propoganda is what efficient and thorough and in control interrogators the British were and how unwilling to escape most German prisoners of war were, its subtle but its there
@000000AEA000000 You're right, british movies showed chivalry most of times...also "Best of enemies" - a mix of war/comedy - shows Italians in a nice way, not negative.
Thank you very much for uploading. I've seen it only once, years ago, and was looking forward to watching it again. Great job, thank you. Any chance of anyone uploading A Taxi For Tobruk?
By any chance does any one know the flight path of van werra plane the day it went down in the sea by holland? or the flight path the routine flight took? i cant find it any where. maybe i should watch the movie eh?
my absolute favourite black and white film :)

This guy did all that just to eventually die in the North Sea due to engine failure on his ME109. Fate is a bitch!

Franz Von Werra was not a German! He was Swiss, from the town of Leuk in the Canton of Wallis. He enlisted in the German Luftwaffe

@jwsyt2 and what else are german swiss then suebian or alemanni germans?
why do you think he chose to enlist? Times were not always as history-distorting and anti-german then post-ww2 eras.
