The song of the submarine man sounds high (alternative title Das Heldenleben of the inventor of the submarines Wilhelm Bauer , Wilhelm Bauer ) is a German propaganda film from 1917. The title is the name of a soldier's song .

action

The film shows the world of the submarine and the life of the German engineer Wilhelm Bauer , who had the first modern submarine built according to his plans in Kiel and who took part in the diving test in 1851.

background

The production company was the Imperator-Film-Co. mbH Berlin. The speaker and commentator for the prologue was Fritz Schulz (presumably only for the two first performances). The costumes were designed by Wimmer and tailored by Verch and Co. The film was four acts in length . The censorship took place in early May 1917. The Berlin police released him for the youth (No. 40590). It was also checked by the Munich military (No. 2208). The first performance took place in Munich on May 12, 1917, and the actual premiere on June 1, 1917 in the Mozart Hall in Berlin.

With the WB 1 secret file, a much better-known portrait of Bauer was created in 1941 under the direction of Herbert Selpin , which, however, contains strong, National Socialist propaganda elements. Bauer was portrayed there by Alexander Golling .
