I really enjoyed this movie. It depicts a German city during the tumultuous "Kampfzeit" shortly before Adolf Hitler won and became chancellor.

Red terror and political disunity between the people are rampant. Everyone is suffering economically and the Bolsheviks are using these circumstances to agitate the German workers and sow class division. The local SA men are fighting for their cause, to stop the communist takeover of the country. For that they keep getting ruthlessly attacked by their Moscow-funded opponents.

There are serious moments but also very hearty and humorous ones in this film. I had quite a few good laughs, because the dialogue is really funny at times and the actors are very charming and authentic.

Definitely worth a watch.
