Made soon before the outbreak of the Second World War, the film - as its name suggests - depicts the lives of three German army sergeants. While the plot focuses on the three protagonists' complicated love affairs rather than their battlefield exploits, it does extol camaraderie among soldiers - a staple theme of Nazi propaganda. The film concludes with the protagonists overcoming the amorous jealousies which threatened to divide them, and eagerly embarking on a dangerous military task. This theme is reflected in the film's poster, showing the three in uniform with their commanding officer while their love interest, Gerda, fills out the background.
After the defeat of Nazi Germany, Drei Unteroffiziere was included in the list of forbidden films, and nowadays its screening is only allowed for "special educational purposes".
