I saw this on you tube. This was also on Internet Archive also.It was not a great print. It looked like it was on V.H.S. It was a public domain print.The print was fair but it was not excellent. German war films dot com does not have a great print. Reich Kino has sent their original master tracks to the various laboratory's ,in Germany, For re mastering on the original elements. I've been waiting for orders my self. It's like a doll hospital slow. But they will have a pristine image soon, unless they already got it.This starred three actors who would make it big in the future. Hardy Kruger,who would show up in some American movies.Gunnar Mollar, Who showed up in the Odessa Files but would be a great German film and T.V. star.Dietmarr Shonherr, who would show up in The longest Day.Willy Fritz, who plays the teacher Roth, of the air craft school, became a member of the Nazi party but tried to avoid being in pro war and military and propaganda movies. But he was pressured into being in this film.Two German stalwart character actors are in it. Paul Henkels, who plays the teacher D.r. Vorr.Albert Florath as Father Steel. Father! This film gives no impression of what faith this characters in, whether he's catholic or otherwise. Maybe the church of the Nazi's?Christianity was illegal.But his character plays a confidante for the apprentice boys for the air craft plant This movie was not a success because of the Nazi propaganda was too noticeable. There some hypocrisy too in this film.One of the apprentice students is an aspiring musician . Earlier Theo,played by Dietmarr , gives a gift of a violin to one of the students thru his sister Annemie, played by Gerta Bottcher, At the students dorm. Later he's putting on a little concert backed up by Theo, at his house. After the concert they play a record. Forbidden fruit. Illegal jazz tune of the movie theme. The story. Theo Brakke ,played by Dietamarr, is a spoiled son of the owner of the airplane Factory,played by Herbert Hubner. Pa Pa Brakke feels that his son is behind his school studies and feels he should forget about the boat racing at the regalia. Willy Fritz , as Roth, informs the students , out side the airplane field, with Pa Pa Brakke that there will be no school today to go see the boat races with their own student competing with another student of another School. It turns out that Theo disobeyed Pa Pa Brekke and is one of the students who's competing. He wins. His father glad that he won but wished he focus on improvement of his studies.
