A really worthy war movie, perhaps in fraction because it was so relatively unexplored in film. It is the epic of a German working class soldier (”popular as dirt”, as characterized by his General, played by James Mason) named Bruno Stachell (who is well-portrayed with frosty self- assurance by George Peppard) man. Stachell leaves the trenches in World War One and becomes an ace in the German flying corps which is populated by officers and gentlemen. His obsession is a medal - hence the film’s title - awarded to aces, and his colleagues, commanders and the British Air Force won’t maintain him from it.
Predictably, he rebels even as he never fits in with his comrades. It is illustrated well by his response to his first destroy (which sadly goes unconfirmed even after he went scouring the countryside for the plane he shot down) . He “responds” by getting his first confirmed waste by shooting down the next enemy plane over his hold airfield. While his betters who populate the squadron never stop to remind him of his space, he continues up the ranks to best them all while ridiculing their so-called code of honor. “Chivalry? ” he sneers. “To raze a man and then execute a ritual out of saluting him is hypocrisy.”
It has titanic flying battle scenes. Also, a improbable supporting cast including the aforementioned Manson, his slutty aristocratic wife (the gorgeous Ursula Andress) and a stick-up-the-butt colleague/rival fellow officer (Jeremy Kemp) . Karl Vogler plays von Heiderman, the Commanding Officer who refuses to let go of his notions of warfare with honor, in the face of the barbaric commencement of the 20th century.

I disagree with the reviewer who says Peppard was out of his depth in this role. He plays the section of the anti-hero very well. I was even more impressed after reading that he did his have flying in this film.
It is very long, but worth the time.
This is one of those films that seems to accept better with age. It is the myth of a low-born warrior Bruno Stachel (George Peppard), who by force of will and talent, rises out of a accepted foxhole and into the cockpit of a fighter airplane in the closing days of WW1. It is his arch-nemesis, the aristocratic flying ace Willi von Klugermann,(Jeremy Kemp) who keenly observes Stachel’s ruthlessness and nicknames him “Cobra”. The aerial flying sequences are breathtaking and plentiful, many of the aircraft were constructed for the making of this movie, unlike computer generated duplications so accepted today. The lifeless cadence and almost hesitating sound of unreliable machine guns firing from the flimsy aircraft they were fitted to is striking testament to the sound editors art. Stachel’s ambition for glory “in and out of bed” is unmatched by his well-born and condecending comrades. But in the destroy, his destiny is inexorably tilted by an unyielding competitiveness, a glowing countess (Ursula Andress),her shrewd and much husband Count General von Klugermann,(masterfully portrayed by James Mason), and a demoralized, desperate Germany in the waning days of WW1. The production values of this film are respectable, the sets striking, and definite attention to historical detail is evident. Jerry Goldsmith’s musical bag ties a compelling chronicle line together with subtle variations of a hauntingly radiant musical theme. It is my hope this film will be digitally remastered for DVD release.
