Visors from Film & TV

Joachim Paul Asböck as Maj. Fritz Heinrich Prinz commanding the 254th Hessian Reserve Infantry in the Lost Battalion is a true-to-life 2001 made-for-television war drama film about the Lost Battalion of World War I, which was cut off and surrounded by German forces in the Argonne Forest during the Meuse-Argonne Offensive of 1918. Well worth watching.

This is actually a very good film I must say! Ricky Schroder was brilliant!

[QUOTE=Wilko;1906058]A little known but fairly good film from 2016. It was made on a low budget but it is quite a good watch on a rainy day.

Beyond Valkyrie: Dawn of the 4th Reich



Michael Epp as Sturmbannfuhrer Karl Krauss

---Still yet to watch this one, I have it in the library.

I had forgotten about this one--"A Time to Love and a Time to Die", which was a US-made production from 1958 from the perspective of a German soldier (and based upon Remarque's book of the same title).
There are some well-done uniforms for the era.

This is the Kreisleiter, and he appears to be wearing a legit Kreisleitung visor (albeit with an incorrect cockade):

Here's a little more detail for you. The uniforms are superb I must say!

Allegedly the screen-worn jacket from The Eagle Has Landed:

A TV film released in 2008 in Germany as Die Gustloff and later in the UK as The Crimson Ocean. It's a very good film that tells the story of the Wilhelm Gustloff and it's last voyage.

One of my favourites, Rene!
It’s great to see all that lovely Luftwaffe kit for a change... and the Mercedes, of course!

Though I do find the closing credit sequence one of the most strangely disturbing things about it... Staggering at first, even funny, then very uncomfortable.

Cheers,
Bob

Hey Bob,
I'm a bit aghast on the whole film to be honest! not one for the Wifey!! Still I did enjoy it.
