People with Wings (1960)
Overview
This film continues the story of radio operator Ludwig Bartuschek from “The Sailor’s Song”. Near the end of the Weimar Republic, Bartuschek (Erwin Geschonneck) is working as a mechanic in the Sperber airplane plant.

Bartuschek will not allow himself to be bought and instead joins the underground resistance movement.
