00:02:17 (woman) Whoo!
00:02:21 (woman laughs)
00:02:22 That's marvellous. Now, tomorrow, you give
00:02:28 Oh, I feel so good.
00:02:30 (violins play)
00:02:32 Listen. Listen to what they're playing.
00:02:36 Ja. ''Röslein''.
00:02:38 # Dee da-dum
00:02:41 # Lief er schnell, es nah zu sehn
00:02:46 # Sah's mit vielen...
00:02:50 Ooh!
00:02:51 Go on. I'm sorry. Go on. Please.
00:02:54 # Röslein, Röslein rot
00:02:59 # Röslein auf der Heiden
00:03:05 As a rule, Americans speak German
00:03:08 but your accent is... is really horrible.
00:03:12 Oh, Christian.
00:03:15 - This has been so wonderful.
00:03:18 I wanna thank you. You've been
00:03:22 Well, that's only because
00:03:27 Thank you. Oh!
00:03:29 Oh, I hate to leave.
00:03:33 Why? Why don't you
00:03:38 No. No, I can't. I've got to leave too early.
00:03:41 Now, look. lt is New Year's Eve.
00:03:45 You go back to America,
00:03:49 - Please, spend the evening with me.
00:03:53 Too bad.
00:03:56 - Do I have a rival?
00:03:59 - Who?
00:04:02 But I think Michael would not mind if I just...
00:04:08 Are you kidding? I don't think it would even
00:04:18 All right. All right, Christian, I'd love to.
00:04:22 Wonderful.
00:04:24 (band plays ''The Blue Danube Waltz'')
00:04:46 - You look lovely.
00:04:48 You look... really...
00:04:52 - Charmed.
00:04:55 because I composed a little piece of music
00:05:00 - Would you like to hear it?
00:05:04 - Really?
00:05:08 (trumpeting)
00:05:13 - Do you like it? lsn't it nice?
00:05:24 (cuckooing)
00:05:29 Prosit Neujahr!
00:05:30 (shouting)
00:05:34 - Happy New Year, Margaret.
00:05:44 lch bringe einen Toast.
00:05:48 Bitte.
00:05:50 Gott, beschütze unsern Führer, Adolf Hitler.
00:05:56 - Heil!
00:05:59 (ripple of applause)
00:06:11 Das Horst-Wessel-Lied.
00:06:14 (band strikes up)
00:06:18 # Die Fahne hoch!
00:06:23 # SA marschiert mit ruhig festem Schritt
00:06:28 # Kameraden,
00:06:35 # Marschiern im Geist in unsern Reihen mit...
00:06:45 Are you all right?
00:06:54 What's the matter?
00:06:57 Oh... you know, I was just in Berlin
00:07:04 But... I didn't realise it had gone this far.
00:07:10 Not... not here, in this... little town.
00:07:16 lt's a little frightening.
00:07:19 Well, do you think that being a Nazi
00:07:29 Christian...
00:07:31 Christian, are you a Nazi?
00:07:35 No, I am not a Nazi.
00:07:40 But I think that they stand for
00:07:46 Christian, you don't really believe that?
00:07:49 Yes, I believe this.
00:07:52 But why? Why?
00:07:55 What can you possibly find to justify Hitler?
00:08:01 I think that... that Hitler
00:08:08 - ls the life you have now so terrible?
00:08:12 My life is not so terrible,
00:08:16 teaching fat little children how to ski,
00:08:21 I can understand your wanting more...
00:08:23 I think that perhaps
00:08:28 to live on tips from foreigners
00:08:35 You know what I really am?
00:08:41 I do this for two or three months in the year,
00:08:45 and when the season is over, I... I go to work
00:08:51 - and I am a shoemaker.
00:08:55 No, I don't. I want to be something else.
00:08:57 - Well, then, you don't have to remain one.
00:09:04 lt's so hard to explain to you,
00:09:06 but, you see, it's very difficult for people
00:09:13 I'll tell you something. At one time,
00:09:20 And I worked... I worked very hard for this.
00:09:23 And when there was no longer any money
00:09:28 because we have no free university here.
00:09:32 And I think this is...
00:09:36 I think that... that...
00:09:41 Christian, Hitler promises
00:09:46 Oh,ja. But this is a direct result of
00:09:52 - Ooh! Christian!
00:09:57 lt will not pass.
00:10:00 lt's going to get worse and worse and worse.
00:10:03 And I think it's going to end in war.
00:10:09 I think that... we should not discuss this...
00:10:14 because I don't know all the answers.
00:10:18 I know you don't know all the answers.
00:10:21 And with political discussions, we go
00:10:29 Come on, let's go back in
00:10:32 (people singing ''Deutschland über alles'')
00:10:47 No.
00:10:50 Good night, Christian.
00:10:52 I'll say goodbye in the morning.
00:11:13 (radio announcer) This is the BBC, London.
00:11:16 Today, June 24th 1940, at 7.15pm,
00:11:22 France surrendered to Germany.
00:11:24 The events of the past 45 days,
00:11:27 beginning with the German invasion
00:11:30 have thus come to a tragic climax.
00:11:33 England, now fiighting virtually alone,
00:11:38 whose aim to conquer or destroy the entire
00:11:44 ln the words of Mr Winston Churchill:
00:11:47 ''What General Weygand has called
00:11:51 '''The Battle of Britain'is about to begin.''
00:11:54 Leutnant, I do wish you'd order
00:11:58 I'm reluctantly willing to die for the
00:12:04 We're late, Brandt.
00:12:07 But we almost hit a cow back there!
00:12:09 The only living thing we have seen
00:12:15 Making love, drinking absinthe. You know
00:12:19 Where are they?
00:12:21 When I was a little boy, I promised
00:12:25 They shot off his leg in Verdun,ja, in 1916.
00:12:29 So I promised him, on Christmas Eve it was,
00:12:37 - Leutnant, have you ever been to Paris?
00:12:41 Oh, what a city! What a wonderful city that is.
00:12:45 I'll show you a good time there. Ha!
00:12:47 You won't keep those people indoors for ever.
00:12:52 Ah, what wonderful girls!
00:12:55 When I was a correspondent there,
00:12:59 Simone and I, we will show you Paris the way
00:13:07 (gunfiire)
00:13:11 (tyres screech)
00:13:15 (gunfiire)
00:13:41 Go up to the road and keep firing on them
00:13:45 Jawohl.
00:14:01 Go!
00:14:09 Mets-toi derrière cet arbre.
00:14:13 Komm an.
00:14:20 (gunfiire)
00:14:38 Maeschen, stay behind this tree here.
00:14:43 Jawohl.
00:14:49 (gunshot)
00:15:07 I got him. I got him.
00:15:11 Maeschen, stay down!
00:15:15 (gunshot)
00:15:31 Ne tirez pas. Je me rends.
00:15:34 Streicher! Hold your fire.
00:15:46 Streicher.
00:15:48 (gunfiire)
00:15:58 Brandt, Streicher, come on.
00:16:00 (gunfiire continues)
00:16:11 Brandt.
00:16:14 Tell him to go back
00:16:17 because we now have them in the crossfire.
00:16:21 Go. Allez.
00:16:27 Écoutez-moi.
00:16:29 Maeschen... is dead?
00:16:31 - What-what?
00:16:34 Ja. I'm sure his father
00:16:39 Allez. Allez. Vite.
00:16:50 Arrêtez les gars! Arrêtez!
00:16:55 Arrêtez!
00:16:58 Nous sommes fiichus!
00:17:41 - Captain Hardenburg?
00:17:45 - I understand you had difficulty on the road.
00:17:49 - At ease.
00:17:51 They were young conscripts, sir, making
00:17:56 No need to apologise. I want to commend you
00:18:01 Thank you, sir. We had one casualty, sir.
00:18:07 Oh, yes, Private Maeschen.
00:18:11 Did he perform his duty?
00:18:13 Yes, sir, he killed one of the enemy,
00:18:16 and then became, uh... excited
00:18:19 Too bad. I'm sure he fought bravely.
00:18:25 lt's wonderful, isn't it?
00:18:28 Yes, sir. So, with your permission,
00:18:32 Never mind, Diestl, I will do it.
00:18:35 Leutnant!
00:18:40 Since you are with us, I wonder if you would
00:18:44 - We had always planned to come here.
00:18:48 - Come on, Diestl.
00:18:52 Oh, yes, yes, yes! I have written about you
00:19:00 Just a moment.
00:19:03 We will stand on the steps. Come on, Diestl.
00:19:19 A great day. A day of historic importance.
00:19:23 ln years to come, we will
00:19:26 ''We were there at the dawn of the new era.''
00:19:31 Ah,ja. Now, Captain, this is the one,ja?
00:19:35 Wunderbar!
00:19:48 All right, settle down!
00:19:51 Settle down! This is New York City property!
00:19:55 Stop spittin' and throwin' butts
00:19:59 The army's got plenty of room for everybody.
00:20:07 - What's wrong?
00:20:10 Now cough.
00:20:12 Turn your head and cough.
00:20:20 All right, breathe in.
00:20:26 Breathe out.
00:20:28 Breathe in.
00:20:31 Out.
00:20:34 All right, bend over.
00:20:37 - Bend over and touch your toes.
00:20:41 OK.
00:20:43 For a man your age and your profession,
00:20:47 - How do you manage it?
00:20:51 Give this to the board. Next man.
00:20:54 You didn't register in California?
00:20:57 Yes, I did, but I came east
00:21:00 - You came to New York to get a defence job?
00:21:05 Michael Whiteacre.
00:21:13 Oh, uh, sit down over here, Mr Whiteacre.
00:21:23 You must be very busy, Mr Whiteacre.
00:21:26 I'm told we had a special call
00:21:30 asking us not to waste
00:21:33 - I'm rehearsing a show against a deadline.
00:21:39 - How long will this show run, do you think?
00:21:43 Well, this is March. lf it runs very long,
00:21:49 - You're booked for Uncle Sam from June 15.
00:21:54 - You can file an appeal if you like.
00:21:58 - ls there anything else you'd like to discuss?
00:22:01 Just see the secretary outside.
00:22:08 (man) Ackerman.
00:22:12 Oh, sit down over here, Mr Ackerman.
00:22:20 Mr Ackerman, you don't seem to have
00:22:24 or any occupation
00:22:28 Can you think of any reason why
00:22:33 No, sir, I can't.
00:22:36 I see you work for Macy's.
00:22:39 You'll stay for the Easter rush,
00:22:44 I think that'll be all.
00:22:47 Thank you very much.
00:22:56 Ralph Spencer.
00:22:58 Anybody got a cigarette?
00:23:01 - Want a cigarette?
00:23:10 Here.
00:23:14 How do you spell ''extenuating''?
00:23:16 - Hm?
00:23:19 Uh... I don't know. E-x-t-e... No, e-x-t...
00:23:24 llliteracy. That'll do it.
00:23:29 - I heard you sing a lot of times.
00:23:33 - On the radio.
00:23:36 - Are you singing at a club?
00:23:40 - On Broadway?
00:23:42 - What's the name of it?
00:23:45 Soft Shoes. I gotta... I gotta remember that.
00:23:49 Let's have a drink. Don't frustrate me.
00:23:52 Anybody that can't spell ''extenuating''
00:23:55 Come on.
00:24:02 Sometimes I think I give off a scent -
00:24:05 - you know, rouses the female.
00:24:07 - Those girls.
00:24:09 Wait a minute. You mean that you didn't...?
00:24:14 - No, I frankly didn't notice.
00:24:19 Have you ever had a girl?
00:24:21 - Have I ever had a girl?
00:24:24 Listen, tonight I'm givin' a party -
00:24:29 And you will attend. You will capture one
00:24:33 - You will attend?
00:24:36 Good. Let us not discuss this sort of topic
00:24:41 # I like New York in June
00:24:43 # How about you?
00:24:46 # I like a Gershwin tune
00:24:49 # How about you?
00:24:52 # I like a fireside when a storm is due
00:24:57 # I like potato chips,
00:25:00 # How about you?
00:25:03 # I'm mad about good books
00:25:06 # Can't get my fill
00:25:08 # And James Durante's looks
00:25:11 # Give me a thrill
00:25:12 May I refresh your drink?
00:25:14 Thank you, no. I'm fine.
00:25:17 Have you met everyone?
00:25:20 That's all right, I was...
00:25:24 Michael's told me all about you.
00:25:27 He has?
00:25:29 Yes.
00:25:32 No, I meant... I only met him
00:25:37 - You met Michael at the draft board?
00:25:40 And he was 1A?
00:25:43 We were both 1A.
00:25:47 - Excuse me... would you?
00:25:51 # You saw me standin' alone
00:25:56 # Without a dream...
00:25:57 - I wanna talk to you.
00:26:01 - Good evening. How are you tonight?
00:26:08 - Hi, Hope.
00:26:11 - Fine. How are you?
00:26:12 - I want you to meet somebody.
00:26:14 Yes.
00:26:17 Noah, this is Hope Plowman. Noah Ackerman.
00:26:21 - Hello.
00:26:22 See if you can cheer him up.
00:26:28 Actually, I haven't been listening.
00:26:34 My, what a lovely view.
00:26:37 lsn't it?
00:26:44 Yes, Margaret?
00:26:48 I hear you're being drafted.
00:26:56 - I'm not being drafted.
00:27:01 Mr Ackerman doesn't know what rabbits
00:27:05 Look, I'm not a hero and I'm not a pigeon.
00:27:10 What's the matter with you?
00:27:15 I don't. Really, I don't.
00:27:20 but... you start to feel guilty about it, then we
00:27:25 I don't feel guilty!
00:27:27 lt's just that I'm against war, and this whole
00:27:33 You just don't wanna get shot. Nobody wants
00:27:39 Forget it.
00:27:42 - I got a sick show on my hands!
00:27:48 Look, Michael... this is me, Margaret.
00:27:55 You're a heel, but you're not that big a heel.
00:27:58 And then, too, they fish for fish in the river.
00:28:02 I was told that.
00:28:06 - I like your tie.
00:28:10 I just saw it and I bought it.
00:28:18 Do you think it's gonna rain?
00:28:22 - Mm. I do, too.
00:28:24 - Mm-hm.
00:28:27 - All right.
00:28:29 OK.
00:28:34 - What are you gonna tell him?
00:28:36 - Michael.
00:28:39 Oh.
00:28:44 Well, maybe so.
00:28:48 New York City must be frightening
00:28:51 Oh, no, it isn't.
00:28:54 lt puts on an act of sophistication,
00:29:00 I don't think it's provincial.
00:29:02 Anyway, not after Vermont.
00:29:05 - Vermont?
00:29:09 New York City, I must say,
00:29:13 Flashy, some of them, but...
00:29:16 You know, I'm told European women
00:29:22 - They are?
00:29:25 As a matter of fact,
00:29:30 - Well, anyway...
00:29:34 - lt's late. We'd better be getting back.
00:29:39 Oh.
00:29:40 - Well, I'll take you home.
00:29:42 - Where do you live?
00:29:46 - Brooklyn?
00:30:06 Well! At last.
00:30:09 - Now we take the bus.
00:30:28 - Now what?
00:30:38 - (Michael) Margaret.
00:30:40 - Don't.
00:30:42 Don't be angry with me.
00:30:44 Why not?
00:30:47 You haven't been very charming.
00:30:52 ln fact, you haven't even been
00:30:57 I'm sorry, Margaret, really I am.
00:31:00 But lately, it seems
00:31:05 And you haven't the faintest idea
00:31:11 Honey, I'd flip without you.
00:31:14 - You sure would.
00:31:18 You're so right about me.
00:31:21 I sure am.
00:31:24 Why don't we just sit and be quiet?
00:31:27 And then what?
00:31:30 Then you kiss me.
00:31:39 Then I kiss you.
00:31:50 Oh, Michael, I love you so.
00:32:00 Are we getting warmer?
00:32:03 You'll be happy to know... that we're here.
00:32:10 Good night.
00:32:12 Uh... I want to say...
00:32:15 I'm pleased...
00:32:17 very pleased, I mean,
00:32:23 Thank you.
00:32:26 I mean, I'm really pleased.
00:32:36 - Do that with your other girls, not with me.
00:32:40 No! No, I don't.
00:32:43 - Oh, only with me?
00:32:47 You think you're so attractive that any girl
00:32:53 Oh, God.
00:32:54 Never in all my days have I met such
00:33:00 - Good night, Mr Ackerman.
00:33:04 Hope?
00:33:06 (door closes)
00:33:48 (tapping on window)
00:33:57 (whispers) Stop that. You'll wake everyone.
00:34:01 How do I get back to the city?
00:34:04 You're lost?
00:34:11 No one will find me again, ever.
00:34:17 You're a terrible fool, aren't you?
00:34:24 Well, you walk two blocks to your left,
00:34:29 the one that comes from your left -
00:34:33 Now, whe...
00:34:35 Are you listening to me?
00:34:38 I want to say something to you.
00:34:41 I'm not opinionated. I don't think
00:34:48 I... I don't know why I kissed you,
00:34:52 I guess I wanted to impress you.
00:34:55 I was afraid that if I was myself,
00:35:02 lt's been a very confusing night.
00:35:05 I don't think I've ever been through
00:35:08 (softly) You tell me tomorrow.
00:35:15 The bus... to Eastern Parkway.
00:35:33 Don't get lost on the way home.
00:35:40 Uh... the bus to Eastern Parkway.
00:35:44 And then...
00:35:48 I love you.
00:35:50 I love you.
00:35:54 Good night.
00:35:56 Thanks for taking me home.
00:36:45 - Now this is really boring, Brandt.
00:36:50 Wait till you see her. A more delicious
00:36:54 Really superb, typically French, and very...
00:37:00 Well... I could use a little strudel, Brandt,
00:37:07 ja... two hours.
00:37:09 - To be French is to be late.
00:37:12 lt's part of their charm. I hope they get here
00:37:19 Françoise! Of course the men are
00:37:22 - No?
00:37:24 Definitely just one drink, then we'll go.
00:37:27 I don't want to be seen with the enemy.
00:37:31 I would not look good with a shaved head!
00:37:33 Françoise, please. Please!
00:37:37 All right, I'll go. But not because of
00:37:43 I'd like to observe one of these supermen. I'm
00:37:48 Come on.
00:37:52 Here they are.
00:37:59 Ah! At last you are here. lf you didn't look
00:38:05 - Perhaps I'd like it.
00:38:07 How nice of you to come, Françoise.
00:38:10 May I present Herr Leutnant Diestl?
00:38:14 Enchanté de faire votre connaissance.
00:38:16 - I'm sorry, but that's all the French I know.
00:38:20 Because you are all the German I know,
00:38:24 And this is my little Simone.
00:38:27 lt's a pleasure. I am sorry we are a little late.
00:38:30 You see? Didn't I tell you
00:38:36 - Would you care to sit?
00:38:40 Are you always as dashing
00:38:44 Yes, always, if they are ladies.
00:38:47 I warn you not to be deceived
00:38:50 He is the most famous lady-killer
00:38:53 Oh là là!
00:38:55 Tell me, Lieutenant, how many
00:39:01 Well, I think that I am not
00:39:05 but perhaps if I serve in France for a while,
00:39:11 But I'm confused. I thought
00:39:15 How to be tall and blond
00:39:20 Perhaps if you were not French and I was not
00:39:25 we could... learn something
00:39:30 United Europe. Of course, how stupid of me.
00:39:33 You German have charmed us so that
00:39:37 Oh, now, look, doesn't somebody
00:39:40 Ta gueule, Françoise,
00:39:43 Vise les fridolins derrière.
00:39:47 How many of us do you plan to murder
00:39:53 lf there is no unification, we will all
00:39:58 Listen, I know a restaurant in Montmartre
00:40:04 Ja. We can answer historical questions there,
00:40:08 No, wait. I would like to know...
00:40:12 how many French lives you have personally
00:40:16 - Look, this is no longer funny. Let's go.
00:40:20 - I want an answer from the Boche.
00:40:24 How many Frenchmen have you killed?
00:40:27 I've killed no one.
00:40:32 No one.
00:40:34 But if I have to sacrifice
00:40:41 Ja.
00:40:43 Even if one of them is my own.
00:40:48 Now I have seen a pig up close.
00:40:57 Thank you for your wine.
00:40:59 T'es complètement folle!
00:41:03 - Françoise...
00:41:05 Tu te rends compte de ce que tu as fait?
00:41:09 Ah, Christian...
00:41:21 Good night, Simone. Thank you.
00:41:23 I am so sorry. Really I am.
00:41:27 Good night, Françoise.
00:41:43 Lieutenant.
00:41:46 I am sorry. I should not
00:41:49 - No, no...
00:41:52 My husband was killed... in 1940, in Belgium.
00:41:58 And all this talk about sacrificing lives
00:42:02 just doesn't make any sense to me.
00:42:06 The only way to peace
00:42:11 I think about this...
00:42:14 1,000 times in a day.
00:42:19 And I... I wish it would seem so simple to me.
00:42:27 Could I have another glass of wine?
00:42:31 Yes, of course.
00:42:47 This is my house.
00:42:50 This is where I live.
00:43:05 I think that I will not...
00:43:09 try to tell you how lovely...
00:43:18 But I would like so much to see you again.
00:43:23 You're still the conqueror.
00:43:28 A young, golden god of war.
00:43:34 Perhaps...
00:43:38 when the gold has worn off a little...
00:43:59 Good night.
00:44:23 That's one of the hazards you run
00:44:27 One day she's gonna come to you
00:44:32 Uh-huh. That's one of the hazards.
00:44:36 But you haven't told me
00:44:40 Oh, he's... he's gentle and he's clever.
00:44:46 He's notjust a man, he's a boy.
00:44:50 And poor.
00:44:52 And poor.
00:44:55 He writes me a letter a day, even when
00:45:01 And he's alone.
00:45:31 He's Jewish, Father.
00:45:47 Father, this is Noah.
00:45:51 - How do you do?
00:45:55 Well, seems to me that Mr Ackerman
00:46:01 Certainly, sir.
00:46:03 Why don't you finish your coffee, Hope?
00:46:21 That's Jack Marshall's.
00:46:23 I went to school with his father.
00:46:30 Virgil Smith's law office.
00:46:32 One of his people did the legal work
00:46:40 Well, looks like it's gonna be a nice day.
00:46:59 That's the family plot.
00:47:05 Hope's mother, too.
00:47:10 - There's the school.
00:47:15 I don't have... a family plot.
00:47:20 I earn $35 a week, and I'm 1A in the draft.
00:47:26 But I love Hope.
00:47:28 And I shall love her for all my life.
00:47:39 You're doin' an awful thing -
00:47:45 I wish to heaven you'd turn around,
00:47:51 But you won't do that.
00:47:54 Will you?
00:47:58 Didn't think you would.
00:48:01 Anybody from town had asked to marry
00:48:06 ''We got turkey for dinner.''
00:48:12 I never knew a Jew before.
00:48:15 You go along all your life
00:48:19 Someone jolts you and you
00:48:24 That's what you've made me do,
00:48:46 I was just tellin' Mr Ackerman
00:49:02 Thank you.
00:49:08 (knocking at door)
00:49:15 lf you don't open the door,
00:49:18 ls this Headquarters' idea of a friendly
00:49:22 Ja.
00:49:24 Well, we can't wait any longer.
00:49:28 Kraus, Faber.
00:49:37 - Madame Brenner?
00:49:39 - Where is Marcel Brenner?
00:49:44 The boy's 16 years old.
00:49:47 Half of the time, we don't know
00:49:54 Kraus. Here. Faber.
00:50:06 Marcel! Monsieur, laissez-moi passer!
00:50:13 Kraus, take the boy downstairs!
00:50:16 - He'll be all right!
00:50:19 He will not be hurt! He will not be hurt.
00:50:26 He simply must perform his labour duties.
00:50:41 I am sorry.
00:50:49 (knock at door)
00:50:51 Come in!
00:50:58 I would like to apply for a transfer, sir.
00:51:04 Why?
00:51:07 I think I am not... able to do this work.
00:51:11 You don't believe you are suited to this work?
00:51:14 No, I don't believe in arresting children, sir.
00:51:25 I spent four years at Spandau,
00:51:30 I should be in Russia.
00:51:33 But I am here.
00:51:36 And I will stay here
00:51:42 And so will you.
00:51:44 What time does your train leave for Berlin?
00:51:49 Ja. Uh, 12.30, sir.
00:51:57 Here are your furlough papers.
00:52:03 I wish you to do me a favour
00:52:06 (man shouts in pain)
00:52:10 - What was that?
00:52:13 (pained cries)
00:52:15 Oberleutnant!
00:52:18 Leutnant!
00:52:20 Close the door!
00:52:33 Do you know where you are?
00:52:35 Do you know who you are?
00:52:38 Answer me!
00:52:40 Yes, sir.
00:52:44 Then stop being a child! Don't you know
00:52:50 you contracted for killing in all its forms?
00:52:54 I do not think it possible to remake this world
00:53:00 lt doesn't matter what you believe.
00:53:03 Under battle conditions, I could shoot you
00:53:11 And I would.
00:53:16 The German army's invincible
00:53:22 Any order, no matter how distasteful.
00:53:26 - I cannot...
00:53:29 lt has no sentimentalists,
00:53:35 You will have no future in it
00:53:40 You may have no future at all
00:53:43 I trouble to tell you this because you have
00:53:48 once you get all this...
00:53:52 Well... we will forget it for the present.
00:53:56 Now... as I was saying, I would like you to do
00:54:04 Very beautiful. Black, for my wife.
00:54:10 I'd hoped to give it to her in person,
00:54:15 And since I can't, I would like you
00:54:23 Yes, sir.
00:54:25 Give her my most tender regards.
00:54:27 You may say that I think of her constantly.
00:54:30 The address is on the package.
00:54:33 Enjoy your leave.
00:55:01 (buzzer)
00:55:03 (woman) Coming.
00:55:04 (buzzer)
00:55:06 Coming!
00:55:14 - Mrs Hardenburg, please.
00:55:18 I am Lieutenant Diestl
00:55:21 and this... is a gift
00:55:25 Well... come in.
00:55:35 Oh, yes, of course. You're the serious one.
00:55:39 ln the photograph. With the captain.
00:55:42 - Oh, yes, in front of the church?
00:55:44 - Yes.
00:55:47 lt's a pleasure.
00:55:50 He wrote me you were coming to Berlin.
00:55:53 lf there was anything
00:55:57 Well, that's very kind of the captain.
00:56:01 - Please, sit down.
00:56:06 Make yourself comfortable.
00:56:10 What would you like to drink?
00:56:13 Perhaps I am intruding.
00:56:17 Only with a general. I'll tell him
00:56:22 - Well, in that case, I...
00:56:24 - Yes, wonderful.
00:56:35 And how is the captain?
00:56:40 Oh, he's fine. He asked me
00:56:45 and to tell you that
00:56:48 That's very thoughtful of him.
00:56:51 Thank you.
00:56:55 And, uh, how is gay Paris?
00:56:58 Well, uh... Gay Paris is not so gay.
00:57:02 Oh. That's too bad.
00:57:04 (buzzer)
00:57:06 Where are you staying?
00:57:09 Uh... as a matter of fact,
00:57:12 You'll find it impossible to get a hotel room.
00:57:15 Maybe I can do something
00:57:18 Oh, that would be wonderful. Thank you.
00:57:21 - Excuse me.
00:57:27 All right, Franz. Tell him I'll be right down.
00:57:34 Are you in a hurry to get someplace?
00:57:38 Uh...
00:57:39 No.
00:57:40 Then stay. I won't be too long.
00:57:44 And I want to talk to you about the captain.
00:57:50 Yes.
00:57:52 Wonderful.
00:57:54 Now, have another drink, Lieutenant. Take
00:58:01 - Au revoir.
00:58:22 (music plays)
00:59:00 - I'm sorry.
00:59:02 Don't disturb yourself.
00:59:21 I hope you were not too bored.
00:59:24 No.
00:59:25 I was not bored at all. As a matter of fact,
00:59:34 Aren't you going to offer me a drink?
00:59:37 Oh. Sure.
00:59:40 I offer you a drink.
00:59:44 Oh, that's too much.
00:59:50 Enough.
01:00:06 lt couldn't have been a very interesting
01:00:12 Well, I am, uh...
01:00:17 I'm not a soldier, I'm a...
01:00:21 policeman.
01:00:23 And you don't find this interesting?
01:00:31 Well, cheer up.
01:00:34 Things may be different.
01:00:38 I have a friend on Rommel's staff.
01:00:44 Wait.
01:00:47 You...
01:00:48 You can do this?
01:00:56 With a small effort.
01:01:08 (music stops)
01:01:18 (music starts)
01:01:22 - How are the girls in Paris?
01:01:26 French.
01:01:32 Very patriotic.
01:01:37 Welcome to Germany, soldier.
01:02:05 - Get me a cigarette, please.
01:02:08 On the table.
01:03:26 - Morning.
01:03:28 - I hear your show's goin' just great.
01:03:31 Si, signore.
01:03:36 Can you spare it?
01:03:39 - What's the matter?
01:03:42 Come on, Michael. You can usually
01:03:46 Something fell through in Washington
01:03:50 Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!
01:03:51 I was supposed to leave tomorrow,
01:03:54 I'm sorry.
01:03:57 That's better. Why don't you
01:04:00 Oh, I can't, Michael.
01:04:02 The Office of War lnformation
01:04:06 - We'll see each other tonight.
01:04:11 - Really, Michael, I can't.
01:04:13 - This is the last of the cognac.
01:04:18 I came here in 1924, sir.
01:04:24 - That was pretty unnecessary.
01:04:30 Margaret, what do you want from me?
01:04:33 I want you to act like a man.
01:04:38 I want to be proud of you,
01:04:43 You want me to get shot. I've read the books.
01:04:46 we'll be bosom friends with the Germans and
01:04:52 Look, Michael, I don't want you to get shot.
01:04:57 I don't... I don't even mind
01:05:01 I just want you to stop pretending
01:05:05 - That all?
01:05:11 I want us to go someplace and get married.
01:05:14 Now?
01:05:17 - Mm-hm.
01:05:20 But today? Now, you've been seeing
01:05:25 - You mean no?
01:05:31 Last chance, Michael.
01:05:33 Honey, that'd be foolish.
01:05:42 I almost forgot. The Office
01:05:48 I was gonna tell you that tonight.
01:06:08 - Oh! Hello, Mrs Ackerman, Mr Ackerman.
01:06:12 - Rather early this morning.
01:06:14 - Oh, today's the day, hey?
01:06:17 Here. Give you courage. Calm the nerves.
01:06:22 Go ahead and drink it. lt's full of cream.
01:06:26 Homogenised.
01:06:30 - Good, isn't it?
01:06:32 I drink two quarts a day myself. Keeps me
01:06:37 - Good luck.
01:06:55 Oh, you taste good.
01:06:58 I love you.
01:08:07 - Are you ready?
01:08:14 Kraus! Kraus!
01:08:21 Ja.
01:08:51 They are all ready, sir.
01:08:55 All right, Leutnant.
01:09:01 Now!
01:09:02 - May I suggest we wait, sir?
01:09:06 Over your shoulder, sir. The sun
01:09:11 And when the sun is up and in their eyes,
01:09:23 A wonderful idea.
01:09:25 We will wait.
01:10:26 Mortar.
01:10:31 Machine guns.
01:10:34 Fire, quick!
01:10:47 Left, ten!
01:11:34 Back, ten!
01:11:41 Kraus! Left!
01:12:09 All right! Cease fire!
01:12:12 Kraus!
01:12:17 I gave no order to stop firing.
01:12:24 The machine guns will continue
01:12:30 Fire!
01:13:46 Shoot all wounded.
01:13:48 Leave no one alive here.
01:13:50 We cannot take prisoners.
01:13:54 Our movements must not be reported.
01:13:57 These wounded can give information, and
01:14:02 Then all our reconnaissance... useless.
01:14:08 Proceed.
01:14:54 Shoot him.
01:15:05 Shoot him.
01:15:14 That's an order.
01:16:13 OK, fellas!
01:16:18 Attention!
01:16:27 At ease.
01:16:30 Prepare for inspection.
01:16:50 - Eighth general order?
01:16:54 Wipe that smile off your face, Whiteacre.
01:16:58 You're not a Broadway big shot now, you're
01:17:12 Rip this man's bed.
01:17:16 This isn't the Astor Hotel, Whiteacre.
01:17:21 Two extra days' fatigue duty.
01:17:31 Let's see the inside
01:17:40 This isn't the New York
01:17:48 I know this book. lt's a filthy, dirty book. The
01:17:54 Get rid of it. Eyes front.
01:17:59 All right, soldier.
01:18:14 This window hasn't been cleaned at all.
01:18:22 Sergeant, these quarters aren't ready
01:18:29 You will learn if there's one sloppy soldier,
01:18:35 This platoon is restricted
01:18:41 - Don't you think punishing the platoon...
01:18:45 Yes, sir.
01:18:53 Rest.
01:19:03 All right, Ackerman.
01:19:06 You've gone and done it. Now I'm gonna
01:19:11 - This ain't no crummy tenement.
01:19:14 Keep your mouth shut. When I want you
01:19:18 You'll answer yes or no. That's an order.
01:19:20 Now... lesson number one begins.
01:19:24 Ackerman, get yourself a bucket.
01:19:28 Do you know what? You're gonna
01:19:32 You're gonna wash 'em until they're clean.
01:19:37 That's an order. Now move.
01:19:49 Deal the cards.
01:19:51 Here we go.
01:19:59 Not even a pair on the table.
01:20:02 (soldier) Here comes mama's helper.
01:20:19 - Hi.
01:20:26 (Michael) Did you have a ball?
01:20:28 Hey, uh, Cowley, you know everything.
01:20:33 Who's our ambassador to New York?
01:20:35 We don't have one.
01:20:39 Just relax. They'll get bored.
01:20:42 - lsn't New York part of the United States yet?
01:20:45 - What language do they speak there?
01:20:50 - Well, how come Ackerman speaks English?
01:20:53 Hey, you guys ain't bein' fair
01:20:56 - Oh, sure!
01:20:59 Look at the dough he could be makin', sellin'
01:21:04 (Michael) Forget it.
01:21:07 Hey, uh, Ackerman, how come
01:21:11 He had no influence with the draft board.
01:21:16 - What are you bettin'?
01:21:18 What'd you hear from Hope?
01:21:21 Hope? She's fine, the last I...
01:21:25 - What's the matter?
01:21:30 Her birthday.
01:21:33 I got $20 stashed,
01:21:37 Maybe you can get something at the PX.
01:21:42 That's a good idea.
01:21:50 My bank.
01:22:08 Whose play is it?
01:22:12 Noah. I'll lend you the 20.
01:22:16 Let's go.
01:22:18 You got a pen?
01:23:12 Noah, forget it. lf I were you...
01:23:16 You're not.
01:23:44 Hey, aren't you gonna eat?
01:23:52 Read this.
01:24:09 Would you act as my second?
01:24:14 - What second?
01:24:17 and I don't trust myself to arrange it.
01:24:21 Are you outta your head? These are
01:24:24 So?
01:24:27 - What do you weigh?
01:24:32 135.
01:24:34 Look, they're only needlin' you
01:24:39 Will you arrange the schedule?
01:24:42 - OK. You don't want to help, don't help.
01:24:46 You want me to fight
01:24:50 You're crazy.
01:24:52 I don't wanna have anything to do with this.
01:25:45 - OK, Donnelly, so you're a big man.
01:25:48 - Come on, I'll buy you a beer.
01:25:50 The little punk gave me a bloody nose!
01:26:03 Well, you asked for it.
01:26:05 - Teach him a little bit about boxin'.
01:26:10 - Oh! Oh, look.
01:26:13 - Come on, Burnecker.
01:26:17 - OK, Burnecker, knock him on his back.
01:26:21 Fix it so he won't wanna fight any more.
01:26:24 Come on, hold him up, he's going down.
01:26:27 - That'll teach you to keep the windows clean.
01:26:32 Oh, look... look...
01:26:36 Look, kid, look. Fall down, kid, fall down.
01:26:44 Come on, finish him.
01:27:26 - Yes, Whiteacre?
01:27:29 but Private Ackerman has been badly beaten
01:27:36 Yes?
01:27:37 He's been seriously hurt, and I'm sure
01:27:43 You're quite right, Whiteacre. lf I knew,
01:27:49 - But then, I don't know.
01:27:56 What's the matter with you? Ackerman
01:28:00 you have to suck around.
01:28:05 I think you'll have to stop it, sir.
01:28:13 You know, the colonel had a phone call
01:28:18 Very much out of channels.
01:28:20 To transfer you to Special Service in London.
01:28:24 lt's up to me to approve it or disapprove it.
01:28:28 I still think you'll have to stop it, sir.
01:28:31 I know the colonel would.
01:28:36 All right, Whiteacre. I'll spell it out for you.
01:28:40 You go to the colonel,
01:28:44 And you'll have to be five times more soldier
01:28:49 Now get out.
01:28:56 Rickett.
01:29:04 Get rid of him. Today.
01:29:07 - Send his papers through.
01:29:11 Well, I hope you're satisfied.
01:29:15 Almost had him, though.
01:29:18 - How'd he look?
01:29:20 - Yeah.
01:29:23 What are you tryin' to prove?
01:29:26 - Nothin'.
01:29:31 I like to fight.
01:29:32 I'm tired of watchin' you
01:29:35 Look, if you fight Brailsford,
01:29:39 - Sorry.
01:29:43 - Michael, I can lick Brailsford.
01:29:47 lt's important to me. lt's the last fight.
01:29:50 - This whole thing has got you crazy.
01:29:54 - Oh, excuse me, men.
01:29:57 - I'd like to speak with Ackerman.
01:30:03 You'll be around?
01:30:06 Mm-hm.
01:30:09 Cigarette?
01:30:12 Thanks.
01:30:16 Oh. Sorry.
01:30:19 Ackerman, I've been watching the sick book.
01:30:23 You're the most... accident-prone soldier
01:30:28 I'm careless, sir.
01:30:31 Saturday nights in town, you're careless.
01:30:34 Every Saturday night. On weekdays, you're
01:30:38 Without stubbing your toe.
01:30:43 I know you're fighting. I think I know why.
01:30:48 This is something for the colonel to handle.
01:30:51 Just gimme the word.
01:30:55 Besides, you're getting licked.
01:30:59 I appreciate it, Lieutenant.
01:31:05 - Whiteacre?
01:31:07 I been looking all over for you.
01:31:11 You got 40 minutes
01:31:13 Thanks.
01:31:20 He's all yours, medic.
01:32:36 Don't fall! Don't fall! Don't fall! Don't fall!
01:32:39 Don't fall!
01:33:04 Come on.
01:33:27 Leave it alone.
01:33:29 You'll get dirt in it.
01:33:35 Ready! Hut!
01:33:37 Ready! Hut!
01:33:40 Ready! Hut!
01:33:41 - Attention, roll call. Abbott.
01:33:45 - Acaro.
01:33:47 Ackerman.
01:33:50 Ackerman!
01:33:56 Any of you men seen Ackerman?
01:34:07 Abbott, did Ackerman
01:34:11 I don't know, sir. I didn't notice.
01:34:19 Donnelly, did he?
01:34:21 Eyes front, you.
01:34:24 Well, Donnelly?
01:34:26 I don't know, sir.
01:34:32 I warn you, men, I want
01:34:37 Cowley!
01:34:40 No, sir.
01:34:42 He didn't.
01:34:45 Nobody deserts this company!
01:34:50 When they find him, I don't want him
01:34:55 - He's mine.
01:35:13 Gentlemen.
01:35:15 Your attention, please.
01:35:17 The briefing will begin.
01:35:27 Gentlemen, I will come
01:35:32 You have heard rumours
01:35:36 lt is.
01:35:38 An American fleet of tremendous strength
01:35:43 to attack us from the rear. The British are
01:35:49 The Resistance in Stalingrad
01:35:53 in unexpected quantities.
01:35:56 We must therefore
01:35:59 (aeroplanes approaching)
01:36:03 For the present,
01:36:07 (soldier) Air attack!
01:36:09 Dismissed.
01:36:50 (bagpipes)
01:38:07 - Damn you, keep awake!
01:38:10 Well, stay that way! Talk to me!
01:38:14 See that you don't fall asleep.
01:38:19 What do you want me to say?
01:38:22 Anything, anything. Just talk!
01:38:25 All right.
01:38:27 How far... how far do we have to go now?
01:38:32 About... 400 kilometres more.
01:38:37 Seven hours.
01:38:45 I think I must sleep.
01:38:48 lf you sleep, you'll wake up
01:38:55 I wish I was in the mountains,
01:38:59 where it is so cool and peaceful in the snow.
01:39:03 So wonderful to feel the wind in your face.
01:39:07 Clean and nice.
01:39:10 And I like the smell of smoke in the winter,
01:39:13 coming from the wood... in the fireplaces.
01:39:17 Talk about something else!
01:39:20 Women! Women!
01:39:24 I have a French girl - Françoise -
01:39:29 - Was she beautiful?
01:39:34 And I wish I was with her,
01:39:36 and not on this motorcycle,
01:39:39 because I am... I am sick of Africa.
01:39:44 And I am sick of the great German army.
01:39:48 - And I am sick of doing my duty!
01:39:53 What?
01:39:54 I said I should have shot you!
01:39:58 You'd better learn to drive this first.
01:40:01 You will destroy us!
01:40:06 You let discipline slip a little one day, a little
01:40:12 You are not able to fight at all!
01:40:15 - Ja, why didn't you shoot me, then?
01:40:19 Yes! You recognise that you are...
01:40:23 with decent human feelings.
01:40:26 - Oh, shut up!
01:40:29 - Shut up! Shut up!
01:41:27 Hello.
01:41:32 I wanna kiss you.
01:41:39 Why didn't you tell me?
01:41:44 I couldn't.
01:41:46 Besides, there's a law
01:41:51 You're not a deserter. The army lawyer
01:41:59 Are you all right?
01:42:02 Yes.
01:42:06 Noah...
01:42:09 you know what they're asking me to do?
01:42:14 Sure. Sure.
01:42:18 The lawyer said if you
01:42:23 you won't go to prison.
01:42:26 Mm-hm.
01:42:28 I'm not tryin' to tell you what to do.
01:42:39 Stand up.
01:42:42 Stand up.
01:42:51 Honey! How long is it?
01:42:55 - What?
01:42:57 - Five months.
01:43:00 Why didn't you tell me?
01:43:03 I could've written you, I guess.
01:43:09 The doctor said I should
01:43:12 I did.
01:43:14 I guess that's why I didn't write you.
01:43:19 I wanted to make sure it'd be all right.
01:43:25 I don't want this to influence you
01:43:31 Are you glad?
01:43:36 lt's wonderful.
01:43:39 Absolutely... wonderful!
01:43:42 Time's up.
01:43:44 Don't worry about me.
01:43:51 I'm not worried.
01:43:55 Can you imagine?!
01:44:00 Listen.
01:44:01 Go to the lawyer and tell him I'll go...
01:44:07 - All right, soldier.
01:44:15 I love you.
01:44:30 Not only are you a disgrace, but your actions
01:44:33 have caused a black mark to be made against
01:44:38 I'm gonna see that you erase that black mark.
01:44:40 I'm gonna make a soldier out of you
01:44:45 Yes, sir.
01:44:47 You'll get no passes.
01:44:54 Also, you'll have the same cot
01:44:58 You'll have to make sure any punishments
01:45:03 Yes, sir.
01:45:06 Now get out of here. I don't want
01:45:10 Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.
01:45:22 - (PA) Captain.
01:45:24 This is Major Price. The colonel
01:45:28 I'll be right there, Major.
01:45:42 You wished to see me, sir?
01:45:46 There are many kinds of officers
01:45:51 Men like Green, Emerson...
01:45:57 Fortunately, a very few like you.
01:46:02 Sometimes we find you out.
01:46:06 ln your case, we've been lucky.
01:46:09 I've just completed an investigation of the
01:46:15 - Sir, I can explain. You see...
01:46:20 I'll read you the charges that'll be brought
01:46:26 ''That said officer wilfully persecuted
01:46:29 by ordering mass punishment of his entire
01:46:35 ''By wilfully and knowingly permitting
01:46:39 by members of his company.''
01:46:42 ''By attempting to blackmail Private Michael
01:46:49 Do you want me to go on?
01:46:53 I thought not. I've preferred
01:46:57 and... I officially serve you with them now.
01:47:14 Hey! Hey, you guys,
01:47:20 I don't see anything.
01:47:22 - I think it's Ackerman.
01:47:26 - lt's somebody who looks like Ackerman.
01:47:30 (laughter)
01:48:07 All right, you guys, make room for one more.
01:48:14 Come on, whose bet?
01:48:16 Five? You're outta your mind!
01:48:34 - Good afternoon.
01:48:38 Yes. Do you have
01:48:41 - Yes, he's here.
01:48:45 - Are you a friend of his?
01:48:47 - Very good. He's right in there. Go right in.
01:49:05 - Captain Hardenburg?
01:49:10 Yes, sir. I was just released from my hospital
01:49:16 That's very nice of you.
01:49:19 - Well, are you feeling any better, sir?
01:49:23 - Better each day.
01:49:26 But they tell me I will be here for six months.
01:49:30 Six months? Well, I'm sorry
01:49:33 Why sorry?
01:49:35 lt gives me the opportunity
01:49:40 I plan to go into politics.
01:49:43 Oh, yes.
01:49:44 My face will be a reminder of what
01:49:50 lt will stand me in good stead...
01:49:56 Well...
01:49:59 You know, sir, that... they do
01:50:04 Yes, remarkable. Remarkable.
01:50:08 Glass eyes, plastic noses.
01:50:12 Reconstructed cheekbones.
01:50:16 I have written to Gretchen in this
01:50:22 and she has assured me she's proud of me,
01:50:29 Gretchen... is the name of my wife.
01:50:33 Yes, I know.
01:50:36 How do you know?
01:50:39 Ah, yes, you delivered a package for me.
01:50:44 She is quite handsome. lsn't she?
01:50:48 Yes, sir, she's quite handsome.
01:50:51 She will be very useful to my career.
01:50:55 What I would like you to do for me is...
01:51:00 to reassure her.
01:51:04 I know it's a great deal to ask,
01:51:07 to speak for a man to his wife
01:51:12 but I want her to hear from
01:51:21 Yes, I-I-I will be glad to do that.
01:51:24 Thank you. Thank you, Diestl.
01:51:29 Now...
01:51:32 come closer.
01:51:38 Yes, sir.
01:51:42 Are we alone?
01:51:47 - Yes, except for...
01:51:51 I have one more favour to ask of you.
01:51:55 I want you to bring me a bayonet.
01:52:00 - A bayonet?
01:52:06 - Well, I think...
01:52:10 Not for me.
01:52:12 For him.
01:52:16 He has no hands left. Or anything left.
01:52:19 He wants to die. I have promised him.
01:52:24 (whispers) He whispers to me
01:52:28 And he can hear.
01:52:34 He's a watchmaker... in Nuremberg.
01:52:38 Specialist for stopwatches.
01:52:40 He has three children. And he wants to die.
01:53:02 Where is my hand?
01:53:06 Approximately over his heart.
01:53:09 Good.
01:53:11 That's where I will place the bayonet.
01:53:14 We have practised it every night for a week.
01:53:18 Come back tonight with the bayonet.
01:53:34 Diestl, will you bring me the bayonet?
01:53:41 Yes, sir.
01:53:48 Goodbye, Diestl.
01:53:57 Goodbye, sir.
01:55:43 (woman) Yes?
01:55:44 lt's, uh, Christian Diestl.
01:55:48 Who?
01:55:51 Christian Diestl.
01:56:00 Hello.
01:56:01 Oh. Lieutenant.
01:56:04 - Yes.
01:56:13 How are you?
01:56:15 I'm all right. And you?
01:56:19 Forgive me. I must look awful,
01:56:23 We've had so many air raids.
01:56:27 Come in. Excuse me.
01:56:31 They come over two, three times a night.
01:56:34 You can't imagine what it's like.
01:56:36 The soldiers at the front
01:56:41 I mean it. There's no heat, no light.
01:56:54 Oh yes.
01:56:57 I remember. Sit down.
01:57:00 Thank you.
01:57:09 Did you bring any food from Russia?
01:57:12 - Africa.
01:57:16 Ja.
01:57:18 All I have left is some kümmel.
01:57:23 No, no. Thanks.
01:57:27 Do you hear from your husband?
01:57:31 He killed himself.
01:57:37 - He what?
01:57:40 With a bayonet.
01:57:43 I have the letter somewhere.
01:58:03 He asked me to come here
01:58:08 Perhaps it's just as well.
01:58:13 He wanted to come back here.
01:58:18 Naturally, I didn't encourage him.
01:58:20 I spent a whole night
01:58:23 I told him, of course, he would be better off
01:58:32 What are you doing now? For heaven's sake,
01:58:38 You people are getting stranger and stranger.
01:58:45 Stay a little while.
01:58:49 Maybe I can find some vodka.
01:58:57 I'll make myself pretty for you.
01:59:22 Christian?
01:59:25 Christian!
01:59:28 - Brandt.
01:59:33 lt's good to see you, Brandt.
01:59:36 - Oh no!
01:59:44 lt was bad, huh?
01:59:46 No. They moved us around
01:59:50 Listen, now - what's the matter with you,
01:59:56 You know me. lt was a mistake in the orders.
01:59:59 What are you doing here?
02:00:02 No, I am waiting for transportation.
02:00:06 Come on, I'll buy you a drink.
02:00:08 - I see you are a captain from taking pictures.
02:00:15 You've no idea how glad I am to see you.
02:00:19 I'll take that,
02:00:22 I've been here for two days
02:00:26 - Listen, what are you doing in Paris, Brandt?
02:00:30 This is your headquarters - with
02:00:35 - Yeah, yeah. That's the one.
02:00:40 - Only a desire.
02:00:42 Look, Christian, I've also managed to
02:00:46 - This follows naturally.
02:00:48 I wouldn't last an hour before somebody
02:00:54 - With you, there'd be no questions asked.
02:00:59 Ja, just near here, in a little stable.
02:01:02 - Well, we go now, we take the car.
02:01:19 Why don't you have dinner
02:01:23 That would be very nice, Brandt,
02:01:27 Oh, report in the morning.
02:01:31 - Brandt, do you ever see Françoise?
02:01:34 She's living with Simone now.
02:01:38 - She is living with Simone?
02:01:46 Brandt, would you like to have dinner
02:01:50 Very nice. We'd be delighted.
02:02:20 Simone!
02:02:21 Simone?
02:02:23 Simone!
02:02:26 Simone.
02:02:28 Darling.
02:02:32 lt's been forever.
02:03:07 Hello, Françoise.
02:03:10 Hello.
02:03:15 Come in.
02:03:17 (Brandt) I'm an American officer!
02:03:21 Oh, my wonderful friends, I want to thank you
02:03:28 And now, I'd like to make a little toast.
02:03:31 Farewell, Captain Brandt
02:03:35 You're drunk, darling. Say good night.
02:03:38 No, no, no, no. Christian understands me.
02:03:41 Good night, Captain Brandt.
02:03:47 Monsieur Brandt, citizen of the world.
02:03:50 lsn't he funny? He has such ideals.
02:03:53 Sit down, Simone. Sit down for a minute.
02:03:57 Christian, I... I know you don't approve,
02:04:02 Tell me, are we civilised human beings,
02:04:08 A human being knows when he has lost,
02:04:14 When you are put into the army,
02:04:19 but you are not expected
02:04:24 After all,
02:04:26 in any war, Christian,
02:04:29 after all the arms and the legs
02:04:34 it doesn't really matter,
02:04:44 Good night... my dear friend.
02:04:50 Françoise...
02:04:53 be good to him,ja...
02:04:57 because he is the best of the best.
02:05:00 - All right, all right.
02:05:12 Come on.
02:05:26 Christian.
02:05:32 You...
02:05:34 You won't report him?
02:05:41 (softly) No.
02:05:47 Thank you.
02:05:54 You're not the same.
02:06:01 When you are...
02:06:03 When you are in a hole...
02:06:08 filled with your own excrement
02:06:14 and when you see the faces
02:06:20 you change.
02:06:23 And when you're out there like that,
02:06:27 when you have to live with death every day...
02:06:31 for so long...
02:06:35 you have to keep something in front of you,
02:06:43 And so I was...
02:06:46 I was always afraid that...
02:06:50 I had just invented you.
02:06:53 Oh, but I am real.
02:07:03 Yes.
02:07:05 Christian...
02:07:09 please stay.
02:07:11 There isn't anything for you to fight for.
02:07:14 There never really was.
02:07:18 Christian...
02:07:20 you're not the golden warrior any more.
02:07:24 And soon...
02:07:27 you will be just another refugee.
02:07:32 Don't throw this away.
02:07:39 Please.
02:07:43 Don't throw this away.
02:07:46 I think...
02:07:49 I think I've come too far.
02:09:10 (singing)
02:09:21 What are you staring at?
02:09:24 The faces of the generals. I don't like 'em.
02:09:29 lf there is one thing I cannot stand
02:09:33 it's enlisted men, with their air
02:09:39 They don't look like they could lead
02:09:44 Don't you worry, honey. They're not gonna
02:09:49 - Let's not start that again.
02:09:52 (explosion outside)
02:09:57 Go on, dear.
02:10:00 Whoops. Here comes another big man.
02:10:13 No, no, no. Sit down, sit down, soldier.
02:10:16 I'm all right, Sam. So far.
02:10:19 They are a little early tonight.
02:10:22 Oh. Private Whiteacre,
02:10:26 Sam, huh? Nice to know you, sir.
02:10:30 Thank you. Come on over to the bar.
02:10:33 ln a little while. Thank you, Sam.
02:10:39 How long's this been goin' on?
02:10:42 - Wouldn't you like to know!
02:10:44 (explosion)
02:10:49 Johnny One-Note.
02:10:51 Always criticising officers.
02:10:53 Always turning down promotions.
02:10:57 (explosion)
02:11:02 Guilt, I guess. You know, Dr Freud
02:11:06 because I'm stayin' outta combat.
02:11:09 Because I'm letting Noah Ackerman
02:11:13 - lf you wanna personalise it.
02:11:17 Stop feeling so guilty.
02:11:22 I'd rather be guilty than dead.
02:11:28 Go on, see Sam.
02:11:31 These things get any closer, I'll probably
02:11:38 Go on, see Sam!
02:11:41 Go on!
02:11:49 - You would, too!
02:11:51 (explosion)
02:11:59 You stay here.
02:12:04 What are you tryin' to do, get yourself killed?
02:12:12 General, will you do somethin' for me?
02:12:17 Will you?
02:12:19 - I dunno. What is it?
02:12:23 - Where are they?
02:12:26 Well, I suppose so. Why don't you just
02:12:30 I don't wanna wait that long.
02:12:33 All right.

02:27:17 - Who's out there?
02:27:21 Oh, Cowley. Good.
02:27:23 - Yeah. Except he can't swim.
02:27:27 Look, you don't owe him anything. Nothing.
02:27:30 No, I don't.
02:27:39 You've just been out there.
02:27:42 How about you, son? You look fat and sassy.
02:27:45 Wait a minute. I just got here.
02:27:51 Besides, I'm a coward.
02:28:12 (gunfiire)

02:28:40 What do you want?

02:29:02 No. No, I'm not goin'.
02:29:07 - OK.
02:30:07 All right, Noah?
02:30:43 (aeroplane)
02:30:56 (gunfiire)
02:31:59 - I'd like to speak with your commandant.
02:32:27 Enter, Kapitän.
02:32:33 - Yes?
02:32:37 We have no food. We have already
02:32:42 I am not a deserter.
02:32:45 My company has defected, I am without
02:32:52 Forgive me, Captain. Sit down,
02:33:04 lt's a relief to find someone who still
02:33:09 How close are the Americans?
02:33:12 Well, I think they are - I don't know -
02:33:17 - I'm sorry, that's all that's left.
02:33:20 Everything is gone.
02:33:23 Colonels and generals... passing by,
02:33:27 Throwing away their uniforms.
02:33:31 Unbelievable. My men are running, too.
02:33:34 This organisation is falling apart
02:33:39 I'm sorry.
02:33:41 Are you hurt?
02:33:43 No.
02:33:45 I can see you had a bad time.
02:33:48 Well, so did I.
02:33:50 I have my wounds, too,
02:33:53 Running a concentration camp is not a picnic.
02:33:55 With all the gas chambers, target ranges,
02:34:00 I had an extermination quota
02:34:04 Jews, Poles, Russians, French.
02:34:08 And I had only 260 men to do it.
02:34:11 I managed it. Then they sent memorandums,
02:34:16 ln Auschwitz, they kill 20,000 a day.
02:34:18 (phone rings)
02:34:21 I know who it is. lt's Berlin again.
02:34:26 For the fourth time today.
02:34:31 Yes?
02:34:34 Yes.
02:34:36 Very near. A few miles.
02:34:38 I told you. All right, I didn't tell you.
02:34:44 I have ten men left.
02:34:50 Don't you understand? The equipment
02:34:55 I don't care what they did in Buchenwald!
02:35:06 You know what this is, this phone call? They
02:35:11 in the camp before the Americans get here.
02:35:14 6,000 people.
02:35:21 And the man who asked me to do this...
02:35:26 And they will come to him, the Americans,
02:35:30 ''I never heard of concentration camps.''
02:35:33 He will say there never was a national policy
02:35:40 Nobody in the government ever heard of it.
02:35:44 I'll be here, trying to explain to the Americans.
02:35:48 You know, the Americans may not
02:35:53 They may not know that a German officer -
02:35:57 does what he's ordered to do.
02:36:06 Well...
02:36:08 We at least know... what is important.
02:36:12 The courage to stay and face the enemy,
02:36:17 ''I have done my duty for the fatherland.''
02:36:28 What's the matter?
02:37:55 My God...
02:38:04 Captain, this is the mayor of the town
02:38:08 He says he can send
02:38:10 As I was telling the sergeant, we have heard
02:38:15 and newspapermen are on the way up here.
02:38:18 I can provide you with my townspeople,
02:38:22 Yes?
02:38:24 Excuse me.
02:38:27 My name is Joseph Silverson. I am a rabbi.
02:38:31 Yes?
02:38:33 I do not wish to annoy the officer,
02:38:40 Yes, what is it?
02:38:42 Thousands have died here.
02:38:45 More will die tonight, tomorrow.
02:38:50 I'm sorry, Rabbi, we're doing all we can.
02:38:53 Of course. I know that.
02:38:56 There's nothing to be done for them.
02:38:59 Nothing material. We understand that.
02:39:02 All efforts must be for the living.
02:39:06 What I am asking for is a... luxury.
02:39:13 Yes?
02:39:16 I ask to be permitted to collect all of us -
02:39:19 the living and... those without hope -
02:39:23 and hold a religious service. A service for
02:39:33 There has never been
02:39:37 Captain, I don't like to intrude. I understand
02:39:42 but this is not the time for it.
02:39:44 I'm a European. I understand things
02:39:49 lf you allow this gentleman to hold
02:39:55 there will be riots,
02:39:59 and the generals who are coming
02:40:10 The, uh, the other prisoners will not stand
02:40:15 That's a fact. I guarantee it.
02:40:29 I'm going to guarantee something myself.
02:40:33 I'm going to guarantee that you...
02:40:38 I will also guarantee that machine guns
02:40:43 and anyone who attempts
02:40:46 will be fired upon by those machine guns.
02:40:51 And further, I guarantee that if you ever come
02:40:58 That is all.
02:41:07 Thank you very much... sir.
02:41:29 Ackerman, you're not needed around here.
02:41:35 Thank you, sir.
02:41:39 Whiteacre.
02:42:04 How do you feel?
02:42:06 Fine. Fine.
02:42:10 I never... Did you ever
02:42:13 No.
02:42:17 My father's brother died in one of those...
02:42:21 - Did you see them?
02:42:24 - Yeah.
02:42:28 Did I ever tell you about my father?
02:42:31 No.
02:42:36 When that guy started to talk to Green...
02:42:42 - I felt the same way.
02:42:45 - Green said ''I guarantee. I guarantee.''
02:42:52 You know what? When this war's over,
02:42:58 There are millions of him. Millions!
02:43:01 They're human beings! There are millions
02:43:13 (vehicle approaches)
02:44:57 Kraut!
