German film from High School

When I was in high school we saw a German film from the 1980s that was set around the time of the Austro-Prussian War. The two main characters were a German lieutenant colonel and a German first sergeant who were friends of sort. I remember one scene where they are going off to battle and had just shared a drink or meal as friends then the sergeant salutes the colonel. Have tried to find this film for YEARS. Anyone know the name? -KTcup82 (talk) 19:34, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Hopefully someone can help you out properly, but in the meantime we do have a category for German-language films from the 1980s (and other decades). It's kind of a long shot, but you could do a quick scan to see if a title happens to look familiar. The 1980s are here and the general German films cats can be found here (and note links at the top).
