...Paul Morand had written its scenario from the Cervantes classic. The producers had thrown out the musical jello which Composer Jules Massenet provided in his opera Don Quichotte, had commissioned new tunes from Jacques Ibert, able pupil of Maurice Ravel. George Wilhelm Pabst, exiled German Jew famed for his Kameradschaft, The Beggar's Opera and White Hell of Pitz Palu, was directing two versions, one in French, the other in English.

...incident on which Kameradschaft is based occurred at Courrieres, Alsace-Lorraine, in 1906. When part of a mine on the French side of the border blew up. German miners from the other side came over to help rescue the imprisoned miners. International-minded Director Pabst moved the disaster up to 1919, showed the reminiscent rancor of the War in an exclamation by the sweetheart of an imprisoned French miner when she hears that a rescue party is coming over from the German side. She says: "Les Alle-magnes?c'est impossible!" The Germans pile out of trucks, go down...
