LEGION CONDOR – Karl Ritter's lost 1939 feature film. (SEE the book's Table of Contents in the Photo Gallery.) by William A. Gillespie Karl Ritter (1888–1977) produced and directed some of the Third Reich’s most famous, popular and hard–hitting feature films. Having produced Hans Steinhoff’s Hitlerjunge Quex, his own WWI trilogy of Patriots, Operation Michael and Leave on Word of Honor made his reputation at the celebrated Ufa film studios. The huge popular and financial success of Pour le Mérite (premiered December 1938) prompted him to conceive of a sequel in early 1939. Whereas the story told in Pour le Mérite ended with the re–birth of a modern German air force in 1935, the second film was to show the Luftwaffe in victorious battle as the ‘Legion Condor’ in Spain. Ritter’s script drew on his experiences filming "In the Battle Against the World Enemy" in Spain a few months earlier, as well as his extensive personal diaries from that time. The production of Legion Condor required enormous resources, with sixty characters, hundreds of extras, tanks, and aircraft provided by the Luftwaffe. Military Advisor to the film was General der Flieger Helmuth Wilberg, who had overseen the deployment of the Condor Legion in Spain and who was a top strategist behind Blitzkrieg. The lead actors in Pour le Mérite were contracted. The film script had 167 Scenes and 527 camera shots, promising a major two-hour-long feature film. Filming was abandoned in late August 1939 on direct orders from Hermann Göring and Dr. Joseph Goebbels – collateral damage to the infamous Hitler–Stalin Pact. The script of Legion Condor was presumed lost until the Author discovered a copy in a used bookstore in Berlin in June 2018. Exclusive access to the film script and to Karl Ritter’s unpublished diary, courtesy of Ritter’s grandson, provides readers with the true story of Legion Condor for the first time. The entire film script is translated into English and thus available to film scholars, students, and Luftwaffe buffs for the first time. Also published for the first time are 12 press photos of the scenes that were shot in the short time before LEGION CONDOR was aborted, inserted into the translation of the script in their correct place. 244 pages, with 42 photographs and illustrations, including 4 color plates.
