Heroism after Hours

Heroism after Hours (German: Heldentum nach Ladenschluß) is a 1955 West German anthology comedy film directed by Wolfgang Becker, Erik Ode, Wolfgang Schleif and Fritz Stapenhorst and featuring an ensemble cast. It is in four parts, each portraying a different tale of German soldiers attempting to get home at the end of the Second World War. It was shot at the Wandsbek Studios in Hamburg and on location around West Berlin, Bavaria and the Rhineland. The film's sets were designed by the art directors Wilhelm Vorwerg and Hans Berthel. The production company made a documentary the same year that also celebrated the ordinary German soldier.
