Synopsis
In Germany during World War I, Bruno Stachel, a young pilot of lower-class origin, joins the air force and seeks to earn his country's highest medal for valor, the 'Blue Max'. His aggressive tactics, which focus solely on achieving kills regardless of honor or chivalry, initially alienate him from his aristocratic comrades. However, they eventually win him the Blue Max after he reaches 20 confirmed victories. Despite being considered a hero by the General, Stachel's behavior also makes him an object of desire for the General's wife. In the end, Stachel is sent on a dangerous mission to test-fly an untried fighter plane.
