Fall out.............

I noticed this years back in Triumph Of The Will.



Check from 1m:45s. A lad in the last row seems to have fallen over and then quickly jumped back up and got back in step.

In front of the Führer as well!

How did you spot that? Hawke eye ;)

Would be funnier, if he was in front of other soldiers.... Imagine that! :lol:

Good catch, I never noticed that before. However, I noticed a long time ago, that the SS had their share of "Gomer Pyle" too. At 1:41, there is a SS man in the same company, 4th rank, 2nd or 3rd file, who is out of step, mouth agape and helmet askew.

Actually, it looks rather like a dummy to me (literally not figuratively). Something carried between two men to fill out the rank for the filming. I'm just sayin'..... :-)
