This piece of Nazi propaganda was surely made to attract young men to the Luftwaffe.
We can see Ernst Udet flying stunts in his American Curtiss F.11C "Goshawk".

Two of these aircraft were the price, for which he sold his soul to the devil -
or better: to Hermann Goering (the later 'Herr Meier'). He recieved them as a present,
for joining the Nazi-Party NSDAP at last - which he had always refused before.

And it was the "Goshawk" and it's very sturdy diveability, which gave him the idea
for the German Sturzkampfbomber, short "Stuka".

One of those two Goshawks survives, and is displayed in a Polish museum.

 

...and it's engine is still running today!

This clip shows the craft today, and then comes the same historical film I showed above.

The film clip does not display on my browser, but it sounds like some really interesting footage.
