In Lewis Milestone's 1930 film "All Quiet on the Western Front", the song is played at the end of the first scene as schoolboys, whipped into a patriotic frenzy by their instructor, abandon their studies and head off to enlist in the military. It is also heard in the background of the 1979 remake version of "All Quiet on the Western Front" when Paul (played by Richard Thomas) is preparing to board the train on his way to the front for the first time.
