The first stories published about him were novels written by an author named Robert Arden.
In 1938 there was already a German film called Sergeant Berry starring Hans Albers.
After World War II some of the novels about Sergeant Berry were published again.
When Klausjürgen Wussow left the series he was replaced by the likewise popular actor and comedian Harald Juhnke.
The series was produced by Heinz Willeg and directed by Harald Philipp who had already worked together on the early films about Jerry Cotton.
