We see us again is a 1944 imperial German film by Philipp Lothar Mayring . The main roles are played by Rolf Moebius , John Pauls-Harding and Monika Burg .

action

The film is set in a remote, small Tyrolean mountain village during the Second World War. Here, to Trux, the residents have invited six members of a storm pioneer battalion. The men are housed with the hospitable villagers. The brisk Fritz Launer, private by trade, finds shelter with Ida Schimmelpfennig, the local midwife . Sergeant Theo Butenschön is accommodated with the parents of the pretty Bärbel. Both men are in rivalry for this young woman. Private Kummereit, on the other hand, can find a place to sleep with the cottage owner Marthe Bichler, while the Cologne pioneer Jupp Mewes finds a room in the house of the “Almrosen” landlady. The two highest-ranking men, Ensign Klaus von Wichmann and First Lieutenant Jochen Groener, are welcomed by Cantor Meinhardt and his daughter Bettina and by the teacher Leberecht, respectively.

The recreational aspect is combined with physical fitness, and so all battalion members from Northern Germany take part in the ski course organized by the attractive village school teacher Christa Bergmann. Interpersonal entanglements quickly develop: for example, Lieutenant Groener advertises the young woman, who hardly takes notice of his efforts. Klaus and his hostess Bettina Meinhardt are already further: they both fell in love. Theo Butenschön has fallen in love with Bärbel, and the other men are also not averse to flirting with the village beauties. The amorous holiday intermezzo comes to an abrupt end when a telegram arrives in Trux in which the six battalion soldiers are ordered back home. There are painful farewells, but one promises each other: We will see each other again!

Production notes

Filming began on March 27, 1944 and ended in mid-July of the same year, including in Heiligenblut am Großglockner (exterior shots). The film passed the censorship in March 1945 and was released to the youth. The premiere was scheduled for the coming weeks, but was prevented by the near end of the war.

Tobis production group leader Willy Reiber also worked here as production manager. Gabriel Pellon designed the film structures, Oskar Haarbrandt was responsible for the sound.

criticism

Since the finished film did not receive a world premiere, there are no reviews.

Individual evidence

  1. ↑ Leading actress Monika Burg, however, reported after the war that this film had been destroyed by an aerial bomb that hit the Tobis headquarters in Berlin in autumn 1944. See: Ulrich J. Klaus: Deutsche Tonfilme 13th year 1944/45. P. 254 (085.45), Berlin 2002. This, however, contradicts the censorship decision of March 1945.
