About 08/15
08/15 is a 1954 West German film directed by Paul May. It is based on the novel 08/15 by Hans Hellmut Kirst, who also served as the film's screenwriter. The term 08/15 refers to the German Army's standard machine gun, the 08/15, by far the most common German machine gun deployed in World War I. Its tendency to jam led to its name becoming German Army slang for anything that went wrong. 08/15 is also the first part of the 08/15 film trilogy, hence it is also known as Teil 1: In der Kaserne.
