Third Reich-era classic. Young, vigor and aggressive German pilots battle their French arch-enemy during the campaign in the West, May-June 1940. Real aerial footage; close-ups on JU-87 and other German hardware of the period; life cycle of a Stuka pilot on the frontlines; “Death for the Fatherland is so sweet” motto;
French tanker from hell trying to humiliate captured pilots, and other assorted propaganda perks; Carl Raddatz as an archetypical Luftwaffe officer, role model for JU-87 aces like Ulrich Rudel and others.
Goebbels noted in his diary after the "Stukas" preview: "New Ritter film, 'Stukas.' Quite good, with some wonderful air footage, but a typical Ritter production. He cannot lead people. Rather too noisy."
