Game of Thrones fans will notice they've recruited Sibel Kekilli. Sibel is best known for those "other kind" of films.

Thanks for posting. I would think that this is the sort of film no one would make.
As I often complain these dramas are ignored... but set it in space with blue aliens and you have an instant hit!

Captain Dr. Feridun Kandemir M.D. who served at the holy city of Medina, Hijaz during WW1 wrote in his book "Fahrettin Paşa'nın Medine Müdafaası, Peygamberimizin Gölgesinde Son Türkler" (Fahrettin Pasha's Defence of Medina, The Last Turks under The Shadow of our Prophet) 12th edition, 2010, p.370
"5 or 6 german officers and men from german battleships who were coming from Cava islands via Hadramut and Yemen, have reached to Cidde. They who were unarmed were escorded by a man of Emir of Hijaz to Medina from Cidde in April of 1916. But they were murdered by arabs on their way to Medina. All such murderous killings could be done only by order of the Emir of Hijaz. Emir of Hijaz ordered this killing as a sign of royalty to British.Turkish reserve captain Hüsnü Efendi who was a son of the sister of Ali Said pasha (Lt. gen. Akbaytugan) the commander of Turkish Forces in Yemen was the only surivor. Arabs told him that his live is saved because he was a muslim.
Those germans who were slaughtred by the Arabs in Hijaz were under protection of the Turkish Government but this murderous incident was taken a side as if it was not important. Nothing was done to revenge the murder. This was the first sign of great arap revolt."

Galip Pasha (Lt. Gen. Ali Galip Pasiner) the last military commander and governor of Hıcaz. He told his memories just a year before his death in Istanbul to Mr. Selâhaddin Güngör, "Kumandanlarımızın Harb Hatıraları", (War Memories of our commanders) published by Kanaat Kitabevi, İstanbul in 1937
" A year ago the captain of German battleship Emden and his crew come to Hicaz lands following the land road via Yemen from Indian ocean. While they were passing between Lit and Cidde they were ambushed by Arabs. But the Germans had efficient arms and MGs with them. So that they get rid of this trouble easly leaving behind many Arab dead. Şerif Hüseyin the Emir of Hicaz insisted to escord the poor von Müller from the German Navy and his 3 comrades under his protection to Akabe who refuged to Cidde at the beginning of the year 1916.Şerif Hüseyin slaughtered these unarmed poor fellows without pity on the road between Cidde and Rabig. So he wanted to revange the dead Arabs. Such incidents changed shape and became a propaganda agints me and Turkish government stating that Turks permitting non muslims into secred lands and cities of islam. "
TS's nota : Şerif Hüseyin rebelled at last againts Turks with the help of British.

In a correspondance from Ronald Storrs the Oriental secretary of the British embassy in Egypt dated 10th june 1916 he writes "I procceeded on the 28th with comander Hogarth and captain cornwallis carrying with us 10,000 pounds to hijaz to meat Shariff Hussein the ruler of Mecca to arrange for the rebellion against the turks. I met Mohamed Ibn Arif ibn Oraifan aljahdali the sharif's trusted envoy on the way. He offered to bring me the heads of the seven germans who were killed recently for one pound but i told him i would pay him five pounds if he brought me the papers they had on them instead.
FO 371/2773(119824), FO 882/19(119824),Fo 141/461/1198
It is suspected that Aljahdali branch of the Masrooh sub tribe of the Harb tribr of whom Mohamed Ibn Arif was a leader and whose camps were along the German's route killed them.
TS's nota: Ronald Storrs should take the heads of poor Germans and buried them in all military honour if he was a good Christian and human being. But he wasnt. Insteed, He offered 5 pounds for their documents or papers. I am really
feel sorry.

I also came across this German mini-series:
Hunt the Kaiser's Cruisers / UNTER KAISERLICHER FLAGGE
http://www.amazon.ca/Kaisers-Cruisers-UNTER-KAISERLICHER-FLAGGE/dp/B007L8T0OQ" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Has anyone seen it? Is there a version with English subtitles? I sometimes watch films in languages I don't understand but sort of makes it difficult to follow.

I was able to view Die Männer der Emden online via the press site. It wasn't bad actually.
The film is now available on DVD/Blu-ray in Europe but I can't tell if it has English subtitles. Can anyone in Germany confirm if there are in fact English subtitles?
