Münchhausen Ride on a Cannon Ball Posted by: henryremnant
Video duration: 270 seconds Baron Münchhausen's best known adventure was his ride on a cannon ball. Here we see him ride the ball and end up in the Pasha's palace. You may wonder how UFA got so many real black African extras in Germany in 1943. In fact, there was a small black community which was not percecuted (as the Jews were) as they were not seen as a threat. They were treated much worse by the Russians after 1945.
