The "Fritz und Fratz" cartoons were made by Johann Weichberger from Austria, i can confirm that, but know nothing more about him. There was at first a series of 4 parts, released about 1939 or 1940, with the titles:
Die blinden Passagiere (The Blind Passengers), No. IV / 12
Der Spuk an Bord (Spook aboard) No. IV / 13
Die wilde Jagd (The Wild Hunt) No. IV / 14
Die kleinen Helden (The Little Heroes) No. IV / 15
This four spliced together gave a complete film.
Shortly after there was a second series:
Onkel Steffen in Seenot, No. V / 12
(title unknown) No. V / 13
(title unknown), No. V / 14
(title unknown), No. V / 15
Later were another 2 titles released:
Jumbo als Retter, No. Vi / 14
Die Landung im Wunderland, No. VI / 15
and there was another sequel, probably released 1944:
Der geheimnisvolle Tempel, No. VIII / 10
I'm not shure, if the series were continued, but probably not.
One staff member of Degeto, Mr. Müller, launched his own firm after the war in Munich, called GLOBUS-Film. He released similar home movies in blue and silver cardboard boxes, beginning in 1950. He sold also the french film-office home movies in Germany.
