This is Carl Zuckmayer's 1931 play *Der Hauptmann von Köpenick*, based on a true story about ex-convict shoemaker Wilhelm Voigt, who—unable to escape the catch-22 of bureaucracy requiring a residence permit to work and work to get a permit—disguises himself as a captain and tricks an entire town to secure his own papers. It remains a tragicomic classic about bureaucratic absurdity and authority.
