Der Stern von Afrika
''Der Stern von Afrika'' ((英語:The Star of Africa)) is a 1957 black-and-white German war film portraying the combat career of ''Luftwaffe'' World War II fighter pilot Hans-Joachim Marseille. It stars Joachim Hansen and Marianne Koch and was directed by Alfred Weidenmann. The film was premièred on 13 August 1957 in Berlin and was very successful at the German box office, although the critics predominantly gave it a fair rating.〔Tate 2008, p. 206.〕
==Plot==
The film begins shortly before the outbreak of World War II when ensign Jochen Marseille is located at a ''Luftwaffe'' (Air Force) ''Kriegsschule'' (War School) in Berlin, where he makes a negative impression on his superiors with daredevil stunts and undisciplined behavior. His friend and comrade, Robert Franke, helps spare him from severe punishment. His squadron moves to France after the outbreak of World War II. During the Battle of Britain, Marseille experiences the brutality of war for the first time when Franke is shot down over the English Channel and is posted missing for a short while. But after his comrade's return, Marseille is back to a carefree world of flying. A thoughtful conversation in a bar while playing a game of billiards with an elderly French civilian affects him and his fellow pilots only briefly. A short time later, his unit is transferred to the ''Afrikakorps'' in the North African Theater of Operations. Marseille, thanks to his outstanding flying skill and talent, quickly becomes the most successful fighter pilot.〔Wübbe 2001, p. 387.〕
As his combat time in Africa lengthens, Marseille loses more and more comrades to the Desert Air Force. In particular, the death of the inexperienced young Sergeant Klein on his first aerial combat sortie and a conversation with the search-and-rescue officer, Krusenberg, cast doubt on the usefulness of his operations. After achieving his 100th aerial victory, Marseille is ordered to Berlin, where he is awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords ((ドイツ語:Ritterkreuz des Eisernen Kreuzes mit Eichenlaub und Schwertern)). After a propaganda event at his former school, he meets a mathematics teacher, Brigitte and falls in love with her. He takes her with him to Rome after he receives an invitation from the Italian High Command to receive the Gold Medal of Military Valor ((イタリア語:Medaglia d'oro al Valore Militare)). The two of them spend a few carefree and happy days in Italy. The distraught Brigitte tries to persuade him to defect, but out of a sense of duty, he returns to his squadron in North Africa.〔
In North Africa, the intensity of aerial combat continues. During a reconnaissance flight over Egypt, his aircraft suffers an engine failure and only with difficulty does Marseille manage to return to German-controlled airspace. He bails out as the aircraft crashes, but his parachute does not open. His body is later found in the desert. Brigitte receives the news of his death and collapses while teaching a class.〔
