Der Rote Baron The Red Baron
|
| 00:01:20 |
This way! |
| 00:01:38 |
-There! |
| 00:01:41 |
next to the farther beach tree! |
| 00:02:00 |
Get Down, Down. |
| 00:03:39 |
THE RED BARON |
| 00:03:50 |
Northern France, Allied territory 1916, |
| 00:08:32 |
German airfield near the front, France, |
| 00:08:44 |
Are you out of your bloody mind? |
| 00:08:47 |
Yes Sir |
| 00:08:48 |
You risk the squadron planes to |
| 00:08:52 |
Yes sir! |
| 00:08:54 |
Lehmann and Sternberg knew him sir, |
| 00:08:59 |
the coffin I mean sir |
| 00:09:01 |
Yes, i mean Sir.. |
| 00:09:04 |
My uncle, the Duke of Westchester |
| 00:09:08 |
Lehmann and me went to college with him. |
| 00:09:11 |
You are talking about a British pilot, |
| 00:09:14 |
One of the best the RFC had. |
| 00:09:16 |
It's a pity that he's not alive anymore, |
| 00:09:20 |
To hell with you. |
| 00:09:23 |
Dismissed! |
| 00:09:32 |
I've heard your plane cought some bullets |
| 00:09:34 |
while you were visiting |
| 00:09:37 |
Ah, I just love these tiny chatty |
| 00:09:39 |
Does anybody want a cigarette? |
| 00:09:46 |
-De rien. |
| 00:09:47 |
Richthofen shot down a two-seater today. |
| 00:09:53 |
I guess it was meant as compensation |
| 00:09:56 |
No. |
| 00:09:57 |
I just wanted to score. |
| 00:10:03 |
I have just received a report that a |
| 00:10:06 |
went down 12 km from here. |
| 00:10:08 |
You have my deepest respect, Baron. |
| 00:10:11 |
Let us go and find it to confirm your kill. |
| 00:10:41 |
Come on lend a hand! |
| 00:10:48 |
One |
| 00:10:49 |
two |
| 00:10:53 |
I said be careful! |
| 00:10:59 |
That doesn't look good. |
| 00:11:10 |
Put him there... |
| 00:11:13 |
Hurry up, he is heavy. |
| 00:11:17 |
He is losing much blood. |
| 00:11:18 |
Lend a hand. |
| 00:11:20 |
Hold that. |
| 00:11:22 |
You will make it. |
| 00:11:28 |
We must carry him to the car. |
| 00:11:30 |
Immediately. |
| 00:11:32 |
Take him! |
| 00:11:39 |
Thank you. |
| 00:11:40 |
You have saved his life. |
| 00:11:42 |
No. |
| 00:11:43 |
I shot him down. |
| 00:12:06 |
You got him, Sternberg. |
| 00:12:08 |
...rubbish. The DH2 one-seater should be |
| 00:12:12 |
See Sterni, if the attacker has a rotary |
| 00:12:14 |
What is a rotary engine? |
| 00:12:24 |
Oh Lieutenant Sternberg... |
| 00:12:27 |
Hey, come back. |
| 00:12:29 |
Well, Voss. |
| 00:12:31 |
Obviously she prefers men like me. Right? |
| 00:12:34 |
Men like you? |
| 00:12:37 |
Moses, Freud... |
| 00:12:47 |
Hey where are you going? |
| 00:12:50 |
What do you think Manfred, |
| 00:12:53 |
...I mean: DAT ASS. |
| 00:12:59 |
I'm sorry Sir. |
| 00:13:00 |
What are you doing here? |
| 00:13:05 |
Come, drink with us. |
| 00:13:10 |
I thought the gentlemen just |
| 00:13:13 |
Sit, drink and relax... |
| 00:13:25 |
I'm married you know... |
| 00:13:27 |
Me too. |
| 00:13:30 |
I mean, almost. |
| 00:13:36 |
...we need a bit of water. |
| 00:13:48 |
The driver says the engine is overheated. |
| 00:14:15 |
Lieutenant. |
| 00:14:19 |
I'm glad to see you again, Mademoiselle. |
| 00:14:21 |
I know your name. |
| 00:14:23 |
The pilot that you shot down told me your |
| 00:14:27 |
So he survived? |
| 00:14:29 |
Are you just asking or |
| 00:14:32 |
The former. |
| 00:14:34 |
At least you are honest. |
| 00:14:36 |
That's a good start isn't it? |
| 00:14:39 |
Can't I just ask without being interested? |
| 00:14:42 |
So, what's your name? |
| 00:14:45 |
His name is Captain Roy Brown. |
| 00:14:48 |
And he's still alive regardless of other |
| 00:14:51 |
He told me that you were a brilliant pilot |
| 00:14:55 |
and a cheeky rogue. |
| 00:14:57 |
I understand. |
| 00:14:59 |
Tell him that I am flattered by his |
| 00:15:01 |
And that I hope that we will |
| 00:15:04 |
never meet in the sky again. |
| 00:15:06 |
He might still get me. |
| 00:15:08 |
And perhaps I won't have |
| 00:15:11 |
And meet such a gorgeous nurse. |
| 00:15:15 |
Unbelievable. Have a nice evening. |
| 00:15:19 |
Have you seen my scarf? |
| 00:15:22 |
I'll send it to you. |
| 00:15:25 |
No no, you can keep it. |
| 00:15:26 |
It's a lucky charm. |
| 00:16:27 |
The French have sent their condolences |
| 00:16:29 |
together with the confirmation of the kill. |
| 00:16:31 |
The mass for Kielmeyer will be today at 4pm |
| 00:16:36 |
The enemy pilot who lead the attack four |
| 00:16:40 |
it was Hawker. |
| 00:16:42 |
What? |
| 00:16:44 |
Major Lanoe Hawker? |
| 00:16:47 |
Yes, exactly. |
| 00:16:50 |
I saw his face. He had a beard. |
| 00:16:53 |
And the Grim Reaper painted on his plane. |
| 00:16:55 |
It's their best man. |
| 00:16:58 |
He's a nasty fellow. |
| 00:17:01 |
When they were still flying unarmed recon |
| 00:17:03 |
he already mounted a gun on his plane. |
| 00:17:05 |
I could barely shake him off. |
| 00:17:07 |
He came pretty near. |
| 00:17:11 |
Then why didn't you attack him? |
| 00:17:14 |
I only attack if I can win. |
| 00:17:33 |
How important is the Pour le Merite for you? |
| 00:17:37 |
I would kill for it. |
| 00:17:41 |
I just got a telegram from the Army High |
| 00:17:43 |
they want to give it to you by all means. |
| 00:17:47 |
So what are they waiting for? |
| 00:17:49 |
You know the regulations. |
| 00:17:51 |
And not even the Kaiser would ignore the |
| 00:17:53 |
so you better do what they want |
| 00:17:57 |
I hunt planes. |
| 00:18:00 |
And not things that cannot move. |
| 00:18:02 |
You are not a hunter lieutenant. |
| 00:18:03 |
You are a soldier. And you have to obey |
| 00:18:06 |
Especially if the orders were issued |
| 00:18:24 |
What if I shoot down Hawker? |
| 00:18:26 |
Avoid Hawker. |
| 00:18:28 |
You are not a match for him. |
| 00:18:37 |
Let me through. |
| 00:19:06 |
Anybody have a wrench? |
| 00:19:36 |
I can't believe it. |
| 00:19:42 |
Now you've finally made it. |
| 00:19:44 |
You shot down a legend. |
| 00:19:47 |
Now you are one too. |
| 00:19:52 |
Go ahead and eat, my mother made them. |
| 00:19:55 |
Mhh, delicious. |
| 00:19:57 |
Lieutenant Oswald Boelcke. |
| 00:19:59 |
They are desperately searching for somebody |
| 00:20:00 |
who steps in his footprints. |
| 00:20:02 |
I asked him about his secret. |
| 00:20:04 |
His answer was: |
| 00:20:07 |
"It's simple... |
| 00:20:10 |
...I fly as near as possible to the enemy... |
| 00:20:11 |
...pull the trigger... |
| 00:20:12 |
...and of course he will come down." |
| 00:20:17 |
Sterni and me are going to Arras, drink a |
| 00:20:20 |
Come with us. |
| 00:20:23 |
Perhaps we meet your nurse again? |
| 00:20:25 |
You have to get her already |
| 00:20:27 |
or she will stay in your head forever. |
| 00:20:30 |
The earlier you lose your traction the |
| 00:20:36 |
Werner? |
| 00:20:40 |
I will become a legend myself. |
| 00:20:42 |
I will be the Ace of Aces. |
| 00:20:46 |
High Army Command, Western Front, Lille, |
| 00:21:00 |
Stop! |
| 00:21:01 |
There you go. |
| 00:21:08 |
I'm starving. |
| 00:21:09 |
Me too. |
| 00:21:11 |
Prussians never complain, gentlemen. |
| 00:21:30 |
Let's go. |
| 00:21:33 |
Bring back some breakfast. |
| 00:21:55 |
At ease, gentlemen. |
| 00:21:59 |
L'ordre Pour Le Merite... |
| 00:22:02 |
Let's see... |
| 00:22:05 |
Prussia's highest medal for bravery. |
| 00:22:08 |
A year ago Boelcke was the first pilot to |
| 00:22:13 |
Things have changed since then. |
| 00:22:16 |
Don't you think, Baron? |
| 00:22:21 |
Indeed, General. |
| 00:22:23 |
He only had to shoot down 8 planes. |
| 00:22:24 |
I had to shoot down twice as many. |
| 00:22:26 |
We already made an exception for you, |
| 00:22:29 |
You still owe us a balloon, am I right? |
| 00:22:33 |
But because you shot down the best enemy |
| 00:22:36 |
"the unbeatable Major Hawker" |
| 00:22:38 |
I appoint you the highest German Ace. |
| 00:22:43 |
You take over command of 11th Squadron. |
| 00:22:45 |
-Come with me. |
| 00:22:47 |
Look at this: in the east the Tsar's forces |
| 00:22:55 |
There wil be a revolution in Russia. |
| 00:22:57 |
Amusing isn't it? |
| 00:22:59 |
Lenin and his communists help the German |
| 00:23:06 |
Well, the western front poses the biggest |
| 00:23:11 |
The English 1st and 3rd Armies are advancing |
| 00:23:16 |
And they have much to offer. |
| 00:23:22 |
I have to get them out of there. |
| 00:23:25 |
Step by step and day after day. |
| 00:23:29 |
Even without Lenin's help. |
| 00:23:37 |
Richhofen, your base will be at La |
| 00:23:43 |
Northwest of Douai. |
| 00:23:52 |
General? |
| 00:23:54 |
Yes? |
| 00:23:55 |
Shouldn't we be much nearer to Paris? |
| 00:23:59 |
I mean, you have said two months ago |
| 00:24:04 |
Manfred! |
| 00:24:17 |
The high command has given you a big |
| 00:24:20 |
Much greater than this medal. |
| 00:24:22 |
You are not only responsible for the men |
| 00:24:25 |
That's not why we have promoted you. |
| 00:24:28 |
You were chosen to be the symbolic commander |
| 00:24:31 |
You are an idol because of your courage, |
| 00:24:36 |
A symbol for the German superiority. |
| 00:24:40 |
Pilots are like gods, Richthofen. |
| 00:24:43 |
After the death of Boelcke the troops have |
| 00:24:47 |
And if the enemy can shoot down our gods |
| 00:24:51 |
not a very good motivation for all our |
| 00:24:58 |
Gods don't die. |
| 00:24:59 |
Do we understand each other? |
| 00:25:03 |
Yes Sir. |
| 00:25:05 |
Good. |
| 00:25:07 |
You can leave now, gentlemen. |
| 00:25:22 |
General? |
| 00:25:23 |
Yes? |
| 00:25:25 |
Go on. |
| 00:25:27 |
Can we perhaps have some croissants, |
| 00:25:35 |
Richthofen's parental home, Schweidnitz, |
| 00:25:56 |
There you are! |
| 00:25:59 |
Good morning mother. |
| 00:26:01 |
I assume you've had a pleasant journey? |
| 00:26:10 |
For how long are you going to wear |
| 00:26:15 |
-There he is! |
| 00:26:19 |
May I see it? |
| 00:26:20 |
Sure, it's in the bag. |
| 00:26:22 |
Look, he still has the old jacket, mother. |
| 00:26:26 |
Come on! |
| 00:26:27 |
I've already told him... |
| 00:26:28 |
Stop harrassing me with your jacket! |
| 00:26:31 |
Give me a hug. |
| 00:26:41 |
-I still think that the jacket... |
| 00:26:53 |
Welcome home, son. |
| 00:27:32 |
They all came here in honour of our son. |
| 00:27:34 |
And what are they doing... play with the |
| 00:27:36 |
Like young boys. |
| 00:27:37 |
Do you think my brothers will ever become |
| 00:27:40 |
Sweet little boys. |
| 00:27:47 |
Let them play. |
| 00:27:49 |
As long as they still can. |
| 00:28:25 |
You told me you could fly. |
| 00:28:27 |
But I can! |
| 00:28:29 |
Wait until I sit in a real one. |
| 00:28:32 |
You will see. |
| 00:28:54 |
Richthofen's Squadron 11, Douai, France |
| 00:28:58 |
Always attack while having the sun behind |
| 00:29:01 |
Don't shoot too soon. |
| 00:29:03 |
It only warns your enemy and does nothing |
| 00:29:07 |
The best firing distance is 50 meters. Not |
| 00:29:11 |
But always remember: |
| 00:29:13 |
Our objective is to shoot down planes, not |
| 00:29:16 |
Stop shooting when the plane is already |
| 00:29:21 |
Gentlemen, we are sportsmen. |
| 00:29:24 |
Not butchers. |
| 00:29:32 |
- Merci |
| 00:29:38 |
Gentlemen! |
| 00:29:40 |
This is my chief mechanic... |
| 00:29:43 |
Corporal Reuber. |
| 00:29:48 |
Dismissed! |
| 00:29:51 |
Captain! |
| 00:29:53 |
Stop clicking your heels, Wentzke. |
| 00:29:55 |
Yes Sir! |
| 00:29:58 |
-Hi. |
| 00:30:02 |
Whoever doesn't shoot down at |
| 00:30:06 |
will be fired. |
| 00:30:17 |
German field hospital, St.Nicholas, Belgium |
| 00:30:30 |
Lieutenant! |
| 00:30:31 |
This is a hospital, who do you think you |
| 00:31:07 |
I'm dreadfully sorry. |
| 00:31:09 |
Did you know him well? |
| 00:31:15 |
I still don't know your name... |
| 00:31:17 |
Käte Otersdorf |
| 00:31:21 |
Un nom allemand, a german name? |
| 00:31:23 |
My father was German, my mother is Belgian. |
| 00:31:27 |
I see. |
| 00:31:29 |
I love these french cigarettes. |
| 00:31:42 |
You are... |
| 00:31:45 |
...a very beautiful woman. |
| 00:31:49 |
I hoped to see you again. |
| 00:31:51 |
And that you would perhaps wear my scarf. |
| 00:31:55 |
I will get it for you. |
| 00:32:13 |
I wasn't able to wash out all of the stains. |
| 00:32:16 |
Mademoiselle! |
| 00:32:18 |
Have I done something wrong to you? |
| 00:32:21 |
Am I not worthy of an answer |
| 00:32:23 |
Hate? |
| 00:32:25 |
I don't hate you. |
| 00:32:28 |
Hate is men's business. |
| 00:32:29 |
But you are angry aren't you? |
| 00:32:33 |
There is somebody else's blood on your |
| 00:32:35 |
But it seems not to bother you. |
| 00:32:38 |
I'm scared of men like you because I can't |
| 00:32:43 |
And when I'm scared I get angry. |
| 00:32:47 |
And now I'd like you to leave me alone. |
| 00:32:51 |
Wait, WAIT. |
| 00:32:54 |
Imagine you were there now. |
| 00:32:57 |
Like a falcon. |
| 00:32:58 |
And you look down. |
| 00:33:00 |
The wind is blowing in your face. |
| 00:33:02 |
The smell and the noise of the engine and |
| 00:33:07 |
There you can let yourself fall. |
| 00:33:09 |
You can climb, do a barrell roll... |
| 00:33:12 |
Freedom |
| 00:33:15 |
That's what humans always dreamed of. |
| 00:33:18 |
I already dreamed about it as a little dude. |
| 00:33:22 |
But the best thing is: |
| 00:33:23 |
Hunting! |
| 00:33:25 |
The battle. |
| 00:33:26 |
The GAME! |
| 00:33:29 |
It's like a match. |
| 00:33:31 |
A tournament, just like in sports. |
| 00:33:35 |
Tennis won't kill you. |
| 00:33:38 |
Your silly dreams were the reason |
| 00:33:45 |
No, I don't hate you, Baron. |
| 00:33:49 |
I just pity you. |
| 00:33:56 |
Give me a break, Gentlemen! |
| 00:33:59 |
It can't be that hard... |
| 00:34:00 |
to paint a fucking plane! |
| 00:34:04 |
It was an order! |
| 00:34:06 |
Reuber! |
| 00:34:15 |
Manfred... |
| 00:34:16 |
What's the matter with you? |
| 00:34:18 |
What do you want with this stupid coloring? |
| 00:34:22 |
The High Army Command will crucify you! |
| 00:34:25 |
I don't care about the High Command. |
| 00:34:28 |
And you better stop questioning my orders. |
| 00:34:31 |
I just think it's a mistake. |
| 00:34:33 |
They will see you already from 100 km away. |
| 00:34:35 |
We are completely losing our element of |
| 00:34:38 |
I don't want to surprise anybody, Sternberg. |
| 00:34:41 |
I want them to be scared. |
| 00:34:53 |
Captain! Lieutenant Kurt Wolff reporting in. |
| 00:34:59 |
Are you planning to take a nap up there? |
| 00:35:02 |
I never fly without this cap. |
| 00:35:04 |
It's my lucky charm. |
| 00:35:07 |
I also have one. |
| 00:35:10 |
My mother keeps ordering new jackets. |
| 00:35:11 |
But I never pick them up. |
| 00:35:17 |
See you later. |
| 00:35:34 |
Six weeks later. |
| 00:35:39 |
The general! |
| 00:35:41 |
General von Höppner! |
| 00:35:42 |
Look in this direction. Don't move. |
| 00:35:45 |
Thank you. |
| 00:35:50 |
You are quickly getting famous, Captain. |
| 00:35:52 |
You are in the headlines. |
| 00:35:58 |
The Kaiser himself has mentioned your name |
| 00:36:00 |
after he heard about your 29th victory. |
| 00:36:03 |
So... |
| 00:36:06 |
I brought you a little surprise present... |
| 00:36:08 |
aren't you becoming short of medals already? |
| 00:36:13 |
Well, it's not really a medal. |
| 00:36:16 |
Lieutenant... |
| 00:36:24 |
It wasn't my idea. |
| 00:36:26 |
After all it is good propaganda. |
| 00:36:28 |
"The Richthofen Bros are flying together." |
| 00:36:32 |
Welcome. |
| 00:36:35 |
Your brother is a decent fellow. |
| 00:36:36 |
He has all the right stuff that our |
| 00:36:40 |
One question... |
| 00:36:41 |
the people keep inventing strange names for |
| 00:36:43 |
"Le Diable Rouge" |
| 00:36:44 |
Or "The Red Baron" |
| 00:36:47 |
How come? |
| 00:37:09 |
I see. |
| 00:37:18 |
Impressive |
| 00:37:21 |
Really impressive. |
| 00:37:33 |
The sun always behind you... |
| 00:37:34 |
Keep the wind direction in mind... |
| 00:37:36 |
And don't forget: |
| 00:37:37 |
The most important virtue of a good pilot is |
| 00:37:40 |
What. Is that supposed to be a joke? |
| 00:37:43 |
Just do as we say, Lothar. |
| 00:37:44 |
Avoid the battle? |
| 00:37:46 |
That's right. |
| 00:37:47 |
-If you can't win you turn back. |
| 00:37:49 |
Intelligence and cowardice are very close. |
| 00:37:53 |
It's true. |
| 00:37:55 |
Listen to him! |
| 00:37:56 |
Good morning, gentlemen. |
| 00:37:58 |
It's a good idea. |
| 00:37:59 |
I heard that the stupid French believe |
| 00:38:10 |
I wouldn't take this with you. |
| 00:38:12 |
It might be in your way up there. |
| 00:38:27 |
Looks much better now. |
| 00:38:35 |
The riding crop stays here, bro. |
| 00:38:43 |
-That was pretty damn close. |
| 00:38:53 |
Let's have dinner together tonight. |
| 00:38:55 |
-Werner feels ronery huh? |
| 00:38:58 |
Have you transferred him here? |
| 00:39:00 |
Who? |
| 00:39:01 |
Your brother Lothar. |
| 00:39:04 |
Have you seen him? Where is he anyway? |
| 00:39:06 |
He was behind me. |
| 00:39:07 |
You should keep an eye on him. |
| 00:39:09 |
He has got a very unhealthy attitude. |
| 00:39:22 |
Oh my god. Let him land. |
| 00:39:23 |
Let him land! |
| 00:39:34 |
Goddamnit, Lothar! |
| 00:39:35 |
You have massacred the poor guy! |
| 00:39:38 |
You think you can make our |
| 00:39:41 |
Dad had lost his sense of hearing |
| 00:39:44 |
So you want to win the war without killing |
| 00:39:50 |
I have watched Voss and you and |
| 00:39:53 |
You are all brilliant pilots. |
| 00:39:55 |
But you have the wrong attitude. |
| 00:39:58 |
What a stupid idea! Painting the plane in |
| 00:40:02 |
Stop fantasizing! |
| 00:40:04 |
This is no playgound. |
| 00:40:06 |
We are no children, we are men. |
| 00:40:08 |
And this is a fucking war. |
| 00:40:10 |
I know that. |
| 00:40:13 |
I know that very well! |
| 00:40:15 |
But we can still fight with decency! |
| 00:40:30 |
What now? |
| 00:40:33 |
You heard it? |
| 00:40:34 |
Even Paris has heard it |
| 00:40:36 |
- ...and Berlin. |
| 00:40:38 |
Then tell him to pull himself together in |
| 00:40:40 |
I don't want to die only because your |
| 00:40:44 |
And I also don't want |
| 00:41:16 |
Berlin, German imperial capital, May 1917 |
| 00:42:07 |
Good morning dear Hindenburg. |
| 00:42:10 |
Ach, and my friend von Höppner. |
| 00:42:13 |
Welcome to Berlin. |
| 00:42:30 |
It seems the young man |
| 00:42:34 |
what was his name? |
| 00:42:36 |
-Oswald Boelcke, your majesty. |
| 00:42:39 |
We need men like him. |
| 00:42:41 |
I think... |
| 00:42:43 |
we should promote you once again. |
| 00:42:49 |
You are a real hero. |
| 00:42:54 |
I guess he can hardly keep |
| 00:43:00 |
There aren't many fans |
| 00:43:15 |
Company, attention! |
| 00:43:18 |
Are you ready, gentlemen? |
| 00:43:34 |
Douai, Military Train Station, |
| 00:44:42 |
Move on! |
| 00:44:44 |
Don't be so slow. |
| 00:44:49 |
Move on. |
| 00:44:56 |
Captain! |
| 00:44:57 |
What shall we do now? |
| 00:44:59 |
I could run them over. |
| 00:45:01 |
Put the fucking gun away. |
| 00:45:05 |
What did he say? |
| 00:45:06 |
He wants the Captain's signature. |
| 00:45:21 |
Ready! |
| 00:45:22 |
Go! |
| 00:45:28 |
-Ready! |
| 00:45:33 |
How did you know? |
| 00:45:35 |
I thought you lost yours recently. |
| 00:46:12 |
Good morning, gentlemen. |
| 00:46:13 |
Bodenschatz! Welcome! |
| 00:46:15 |
My new adjutant. |
| 00:46:16 |
Kurt Wolff |
| 00:46:17 |
-Pleased to meet you. |
| 00:46:19 |
Thanks. |
| 00:46:21 |
Orders, Sternberg, orders. |
| 00:46:23 |
My new commanding officer is the same man |
| 00:46:25 |
whom I commanded myself not too long ago. |
| 00:46:27 |
How are the flying conditions over here? |
| 00:46:28 |
I've heard that you have to deal |
| 00:46:31 |
More than massive. |
| 00:46:32 |
While we produce 10 German planes |
| 00:46:37 |
Let them come. |
| 00:46:38 |
We'll have to shoot them by the hundreds. |
| 00:46:42 |
Our bro Lothar... |
| 00:46:44 |
British offensive near Ypres, Belgium |
| 00:51:07 |
No! Damn! |
| 00:51:10 |
Bastards! |
| 00:52:23 |
7km to the south, no-man's-land |
| 00:53:13 |
Fucking moles. |
| 00:53:15 |
I consider myself lucky that I didn't get |
| 00:53:18 |
Your sense of tact is flattering me. |
| 00:53:20 |
You perfect landing with shredded rudders |
| 00:53:24 |
I wanted to take a look at your Sopwith. |
| 00:53:29 |
It was, earlier... |
| 00:53:34 |
The infamous Red Baron, I assume? |
| 00:53:37 |
Haven't I shot you down already last year? |
| 00:53:40 |
Yes, you have. |
| 00:53:42 |
How come that you fly again? |
| 00:53:44 |
Your prison camps are pretty comfortable |
| 00:53:51 |
I would have died without your help last |
| 00:53:59 |
Thank you. |
| 00:54:00 |
I didn't save your live. |
| 00:54:04 |
True. |
| 00:54:06 |
Without her help I would have never |
| 00:54:10 |
She's an awesome woman. |
| 00:54:12 |
She nursed me for weeks. |
| 00:54:15 |
Did you get your scarf back? |
| 00:54:22 |
What now? |
| 00:54:24 |
We could fight a duel with our pistols. |
| 00:54:27 |
If I shot you I would become famous, too. |
| 00:54:28 |
I haven't got my pistol with me. |
| 00:54:31 |
or you might lose your pistol, too. |
| 00:54:48 |
How long have you already been in Europe? |
| 00:54:50 |
Since Mother England asked her children for |
| 00:54:53 |
I mean us, the English Colonies. |
| 00:54:57 |
Well, the whole war seems to be a family |
| 00:55:00 |
Especially you aristocrats seem to love it. |
| 00:55:03 |
The russian Tsar, the German Kaiser, the |
| 00:55:06 |
France, Austria, Germany |
| 00:55:08 |
Everybody is somebody's nephew, brother or |
| 00:55:11 |
Your love life certainly doesn't know |
| 00:55:13 |
And to secure these borders |
| 00:55:17 |
And some silly reasons can always be found. |
| 00:55:27 |
You haven't opened your holster |
| 00:55:31 |
You have very good eyes. |
| 00:55:34 |
Did you plan to shoot me? |
| 00:55:37 |
Aren't we here to shoot at each other? |
| 00:55:42 |
True. |
| 00:55:47 |
See you soon. |
| 00:55:50 |
Don't get me wrong but I'd rather not. |
| 00:55:56 |
True. |
| 00:56:04 |
It was nice to meet you. |
| 00:56:06 |
Good luck. |
| 00:56:11 |
Speaking of family affairs... |
| 00:56:14 |
One day this war will hopefully be over. |
| 00:56:17 |
So keep in touch with this nurse. |
| 00:56:20 |
I think she has a crush on you. |
| 00:56:23 |
How do you know that? |
| 00:56:25 |
She kept cursing you for weeks. |
| 00:56:56 |
Stop the car! |
| 00:56:59 |
Stop the car! |
| 00:57:11 |
There you are, we just found him. |
| 00:57:24 |
Sterni. |
| 00:57:27 |
He needs a doctor! |
| 00:57:29 |
He doesn't need a doctor, he needs a priest. |
| 00:57:32 |
A rabbi. |
| 00:57:33 |
Oh really? |
| 00:58:05 |
He's dead, Manfred. |
| 00:58:22 |
Richthofen's Fighter Wing 1, Marcke, Belgium |
| 00:58:53 |
I'm catching up slowly. |
| 00:58:59 |
His funeral is now days ago. |
| 00:59:13 |
Why are you not happy that I was promoted? |
| 00:59:32 |
I know that he was your friend. |
| 00:59:36 |
But he was also a fighter pilot. |
| 00:59:38 |
He knew the risks. |
| 00:59:43 |
Every soldier is proudly taking these risks. |
| 00:59:47 |
But you are more than a soldier, |
| 00:59:52 |
You have the responsibility for the men out |
| 00:59:55 |
And your country, and your people! |
| 01:00:05 |
You know what dad used to say. |
| 01:00:09 |
"An officer is not allowed to mourn." |
| 01:01:22 |
You have a nice odor. |
| 01:01:25 |
Much better than all the flowers here. |
| 01:01:27 |
German field hospital St. Nicholas, July |
| 01:01:33 |
You are still a little boy with silly ideas. |
| 01:01:39 |
You haven't changed. |
| 01:01:43 |
I'm not so sure. |
| 01:01:47 |
I wouldn't have let them shoot |
| 01:01:52 |
Turn over. |
| 01:02:11 |
So much about "Germany's greatest Hero" |
| 01:02:16 |
I have enough of the bad news everyday. |
| 01:02:22 |
I'm just trying to act for you. |
| 01:02:23 |
You are sending out single fighter wings. |
| 01:02:25 |
Doering. |
| 01:02:27 |
They cannot stand against the enemy |
| 01:02:31 |
Lieutenant Doering has got his orders. |
| 01:02:34 |
The High Army Command has ordered us |
| 01:02:37 |
They are all idiots and retards. |
| 01:02:39 |
They want us to fly routine border patrols. |
| 01:02:42 |
We have to be flexible. |
| 01:02:44 |
Free. |
| 01:02:45 |
Being able to fight the enemy everywhere. |
| 01:02:51 |
The British and the French are controlling |
| 01:02:55 |
We. |
| 01:02:58 |
We are hardly shooting |
| 01:03:03 |
I order you to ignore |
| 01:03:48 |
Mademoiselle Otersdorf? |
| 01:03:52 |
I just follow my orders, Baron. |
| 01:03:57 |
You were ordered to follow us? |
| 01:03:59 |
Yes. |
| 01:04:37 |
Hey Captain, nice to have you back again! |
| 01:04:41 |
Welcome back. |
| 01:05:04 |
The red ones belong to the 11th squadron. |
| 01:05:08 |
Yellow ones are the 10th squadron. |
| 01:05:11 |
Zebras are Nr 6. |
| 01:05:13 |
Blacks are Nr 4. |
| 01:05:16 |
You have in front of you |
| 01:05:19 |
And over there you see the best pilots ever. |
| 01:05:30 |
I never thought that this would happen. |
| 01:05:32 |
What? |
| 01:05:34 |
That you would smile. |
| 01:05:41 |
I thought you were not allowed to fly. |
| 01:05:53 |
Your little nurse looks really cute. |
| 01:06:00 |
I may have a hole in the head but I'm not |
| 01:06:06 |
And I am already fit enough to punch you. |
| 01:06:14 |
What are you writing? |
| 01:06:17 |
A book. |
| 01:06:20 |
About flying. |
| 01:06:22 |
What are you reading? |
| 01:06:24 |
I never see you without a book. |
| 01:06:26 |
At the moment: |
| 01:06:28 |
Oscar Wilde |
| 01:06:31 |
Do you know his books? |
| 01:06:36 |
No... |
| 01:06:37 |
I can't find British literature in there. |
| 01:06:45 |
Try this: |
| 01:06:50 |
There must be |
| 01:06:52 |
Shakespeare somewhere... |
| 01:06:54 |
My father used to read it to us. |
| 01:06:55 |
Lear |
| 01:06:56 |
Comedy of Errors |
| 01:06:58 |
Perhaps you can find some songs |
| 01:07:01 |
and a bunch of billard related stuff |
| 01:07:05 |
hunting, flying, horse-riding |
| 01:07:07 |
how to flirt. |
| 01:07:19 |
It is easy to read the mind of somebody |
| 01:07:21 |
who has a hole in his head, Baron. |
| 01:07:24 |
so... |
| 01:07:26 |
go on... ask. |
| 01:07:35 |
Would you... |
| 01:07:38 |
Would you like to have a dinner with me? |
| 01:07:42 |
Yes. |
| 01:07:45 |
German occupied town of Lille, France |
| 01:08:14 |
So? |
| 01:08:16 |
I have to admit... |
| 01:08:17 |
I had expected something else. |
| 01:08:21 |
Something else? |
| 01:08:23 |
What you write |
| 01:08:25 |
is amusing |
| 01:08:28 |
You thought it was boring. |
| 01:08:30 |
Stupid |
| 01:08:31 |
and deadly serious. |
| 01:08:32 |
No |
| 01:08:34 |
But you write about the war. |
| 01:08:36 |
I had expected some patriotism. |
| 01:08:38 |
Patriotism. |
| 01:08:42 |
"...the virtue of the vicious." |
| 01:08:48 |
So you did read Wilde. |
| 01:08:50 |
Even a bit of Dante. |
| 01:08:52 |
It would be helpful at the moment. |
| 01:08:54 |
I mean... |
| 01:08:57 |
knowing a bit about Infernos. |
| 01:09:01 |
Dance with me. |
| 01:09:04 |
No. |
| 01:09:06 |
Better not. |
| 01:09:08 |
I am an awfully bad dancer. |
| 01:09:10 |
Just imagine that we are flying. |
| 01:09:50 |
Marvellous. |
| 01:09:54 |
To have such a hole in the head. |
| 01:09:58 |
Without it I wouldn't sit beside you now. |
| 01:10:01 |
Right? |
| 01:10:03 |
At the moment I am grounded. |
| 01:10:09 |
Mentzke? |
| 01:10:12 |
Could you turn around? |
| 01:10:48 |
There are so many hospitals |
| 01:10:50 |
they have to number them all the way |
| 01:10:52 |
This is Nr 76 |
| 01:10:56 |
There are 500 men here. |
| 01:11:00 |
Most of them will die. |
| 01:11:02 |
The rest will never be able to see again. |
| 01:11:04 |
Or walk. |
| 01:11:06 |
taste anything |
| 01:11:08 |
love |
| 01:11:12 |
No, it is not marvellous to have |
| 01:11:16 |
Consider yourself lucky to be alive. |
| 01:11:20 |
Only because of your origin you gain |
| 01:11:25 |
They have no choice. |
| 01:11:27 |
This isn't a game. |
| 01:11:31 |
Never before the world has seen bigger |
| 01:11:35 |
Never before was there greater horror. |
| 01:12:50 |
Come in. |
| 01:13:08 |
I need something for my headaches. |
| 01:14:29 |
Go in the basement! |
| 01:14:31 |
Immediately! |
| 01:14:33 |
You also fly at night? |
| 01:14:39 |
Take you gas mask. |
| 01:14:42 |
You fly at night? |
| 01:14:44 |
No, we don't. |
| 01:14:51 |
Here. |
| 01:14:54 |
Find a save place. |
| 01:14:59 |
Turn off all lights. |
| 01:15:02 |
Give me that. |
| 01:15:03 |
The Army High Command, Sir. |
| 01:15:04 |
Bodenschatz here. |
| 01:15:06 |
Turn off all the lights! |
| 01:15:09 |
Night bombers! |
| 01:15:10 |
Good morning Captain! |
| 01:15:11 |
Four of them already passed. |
| 01:15:12 |
Four others incoming. |
| 01:15:13 |
Overall only eight, it could be worse. |
| 01:15:15 |
They didn't just accidentally a few bombs, |
| 01:15:18 |
They know about this airfield and there |
| 01:15:21 |
Many more! |
| 01:15:53 |
Good morning. |
| 01:15:54 |
Good morning. |
| 01:15:55 |
Wolff, how are you? |
| 01:15:57 |
It's ok. |
| 01:15:59 |
All MG-Emplacements are manned. |
| 01:16:01 |
More can't be done to secure our |
| 01:16:03 |
Mentzke, bring my gear! |
| 01:16:05 |
Prepare for take-off! |
| 01:16:07 |
You are injured, you can't fly yet! |
| 01:16:09 |
I won't let them butcher us like that. |
| 01:16:11 |
I have wings. |
| 01:18:07 |
Captain? |
| 01:18:32 |
Are you mad? You attacked them head-on! |
| 01:18:35 |
Bring me to her... |
| 01:18:47 |
Don't move. |
| 01:18:50 |
Go and search for her. |
| 01:18:51 |
I want to know if she's alright. |
| 01:19:10 |
You are gorgeous. |
| 01:19:14 |
Fokker has built us a very good new plane. |
| 01:19:19 |
Fast and maneuverable like the devil. |
| 01:19:23 |
They climb like monkeys. |
| 01:19:31 |
I know you are angry with me. |
| 01:19:57 |
I was ordered to return to St. Nicholas. |
| 01:20:00 |
I know. |
| 01:20:10 |
I'm sorry for what happened |
| 01:20:14 |
He was a charming young man. |
| 01:20:17 |
He had forgotten his bed cap, you know. |
| 01:20:19 |
It was his lucky charm. |
| 01:20:23 |
Baron... |
| 01:20:26 |
Yes? |
| 01:20:27 |
Have dinner with me again some day. |
| 01:20:30 |
And promise that you will always |
| 01:20:55 |
German fortification, Siegfried-Position, |
| 01:21:05 |
We aren't late I hope. |
| 01:21:07 |
No, we aren't. |
| 01:21:24 |
The toilet? |
| 01:21:24 |
Down the stairs to the right, Sir. |
| 01:21:26 |
Just a minute. |
| 01:21:47 |
Attention! |
| 01:21:50 |
Everything is going just as planned. |
| 01:21:51 |
-Yes |
| 01:21:54 |
Oh. |
| 01:21:58 |
Our famous Fighter Ace |
| 01:22:00 |
is visiting us at the frontline! |
| 01:22:04 |
Thank you for accepting my invitation. |
| 01:22:07 |
A magnificient sight, isn't it. |
| 01:22:09 |
Richthofen. |
| 01:22:12 |
Your majesty... |
| 01:22:16 |
Your majesty! |
| 01:22:19 |
The little brother. |
| 01:22:22 |
You look unwell, my dear Baron. |
| 01:22:26 |
Yes, your majesty. |
| 01:22:28 |
But I'm fine. |
| 01:22:30 |
As always. |
| 01:22:32 |
Sometimes perhaps disconcertingly. |
| 01:22:37 |
How is it possible to be "disconcertingly |
| 01:22:40 |
It sometimes happens around here. |
| 01:22:44 |
We kill some of their men. |
| 01:22:46 |
And while they go down in flames we are |
| 01:22:49 |
I find that irritating. |
| 01:22:59 |
My soldiers, Richthofen... |
| 01:23:04 |
don't kill other men. |
| 01:23:06 |
They are simply destroying the enemy. |
| 01:23:09 |
Well, |
| 01:23:11 |
the outcome seems to be the same. |
| 01:23:16 |
Richthofen's Fighter Wing 1, |
| 01:23:26 |
Yes, Mentzke? |
| 01:23:27 |
You have a guest, Captain. |
| 01:23:36 |
I thought we should celebrate. |
| 01:23:46 |
They published your book! |
| 01:23:51 |
It will be read in the whole of Europe. |
| 01:23:54 |
So... |
| 01:23:55 |
are we having dinner tonight? |
| 01:23:58 |
And dance? |
| 01:24:00 |
The "Metropole" was closed. |
| 01:24:02 |
Yes, because of their kitchen. |
| 01:24:03 |
An English bomb destroyed it. |
| 01:24:10 |
These bloody Englishmen. |
| 01:24:12 |
They will only stop when everything |
| 01:24:31 |
They don't want me to fly. |
| 01:24:36 |
They do everything possible to keep me |
| 01:24:40 |
Really? |
| 01:24:46 |
I am supposed to command the whole Air |
| 01:24:49 |
It's an order by the Kaiser. |
| 01:24:52 |
That is wonderful. |
| 01:24:55 |
I woke up so often during the night |
| 01:24:56 |
and read |
| 01:24:58 |
the lists of pilots who are missing in |
| 01:25:05 |
It is so good to know that you are grounded. |
| 01:25:08 |
In safety. |
| 01:25:21 |
Good. |
| 01:25:35 |
Your dancing skills are already much better, |
| 01:25:43 |
I have to look out for alternatives anyway. |
| 01:26:01 |
-Good evening guys. |
| 01:26:03 |
-Pretty cold huh? |
| 01:26:11 |
A brand new Bentley Engine... |
| 01:26:14 |
Where did you find that? |
| 01:26:17 |
Bentleys don't simply fall from the sky. |
| 01:26:19 |
Believe me, the guy didn't give it |
| 01:26:47 |
You always wanted to be the Ace of Aces. |
| 01:26:50 |
Now they offer it to you and you hesitate. |
| 01:26:52 |
Yes... |
| 01:26:56 |
I always wanted to be like him. |
| 01:27:01 |
Werner? |
| 01:27:05 |
Would you ever be able to quit flying? |
| 01:27:10 |
Never. |
| 01:27:13 |
But if you want to hear my advice... |
| 01:27:15 |
accept the offer. |
| 01:27:18 |
You just want me to quit |
| 01:27:19 |
so that you will become number one. |
| 01:27:21 |
Finally you realize. |
| 01:27:24 |
Alright. |
| 01:27:26 |
-I quit. |
| 01:27:30 |
If you quit first. |
| 01:27:33 |
Forget it. |
| 01:27:34 |
I am married to my plane. |
| 01:27:36 |
I pass every free minute with her. |
| 01:27:44 |
Fokker Factory, Schwerin, Germany. |
| 01:27:49 |
You are constructing |
| 01:27:51 |
-The best. |
| 01:27:53 |
But somehow our own pilots think |
| 01:28:00 |
Well, |
| 01:28:01 |
sometimes we tune them a bit. |
| 01:28:04 |
-Here and there. |
| 01:28:06 |
...but replacing our engines with enemy |
| 01:28:10 |
Where did you hear that? |
| 01:28:11 |
Just recently we got a report |
| 01:28:13 |
about the recovery of a triplane that had |
| 01:28:17 |
Well, the British found it very interesting |
| 01:28:20 |
that there was a Bentley Engine in a Fokker. |
| 01:28:28 |
-I want to see it. |
| 01:28:29 |
I want to see it immediately. |
| 01:28:31 |
Show me this fucking report immediately. |
| 01:28:56 |
Schweidnitz, Germany |
| 01:29:14 |
Only three weeks left, Manfred. |
| 01:29:16 |
I already got my marching orders. |
| 01:29:18 |
I will be in your fighter squadron! |
| 01:29:21 |
And what happened to this guy? |
| 01:29:24 |
Killed in action. |
| 01:29:30 |
And this one? |
| 01:29:31 |
His name is Voss, right? |
| 01:29:39 |
They are all dead. |
| 01:29:49 |
I will fight on your and Lothar's side! |
| 01:29:51 |
Our great offensive is prepared with full |
| 01:29:54 |
They are calling it "Operation Michael". |
| 01:29:56 |
We will win this war, right? |
| 01:29:58 |
Wolfram, please... |
| 01:29:59 |
It's ok, dad. |
| 01:30:01 |
Of course we are winning. |
| 01:30:02 |
The allies have no clue what is awaiting |
| 01:30:09 |
We flew on patrol for weeks. |
| 01:30:11 |
And we shot down their recon planes. |
| 01:30:13 |
They have no clue where we will break |
| 01:30:17 |
We are prepared optimally. |
| 01:30:20 |
This offensive will finally annihilate them. |
| 01:30:41 |
German position, western front, France |
| 01:30:47 |
Good morning Captain! |
| 01:30:55 |
Captain! |
| 01:30:55 |
Follow us! |
| 01:31:09 |
Take cover! |
| 01:31:36 |
Now that's an unexpected pleasure! |
| 01:31:40 |
You came to witness another British defeat, |
| 01:31:45 |
Adjutant! |
| 01:31:46 |
Find somebody with a photo-camera. |
| 01:31:49 |
It's good propaganda. |
| 01:31:52 |
Our fighter ace down here with us. |
| 01:31:55 |
On the day of victory. |
| 01:31:58 |
Your excellency, |
| 01:31:59 |
we should talk. |
| 01:32:04 |
You wouldn't want to have me down here. |
| 01:32:07 |
If you want me to have strategic competence |
| 01:32:10 |
you won't like it afterwards. |
| 01:32:13 |
And why not? |
| 01:32:16 |
We have the greatest confidence |
| 01:32:19 |
Then let us surrender. |
| 01:32:23 |
I don't have enough time for jokes. |
| 01:32:27 |
I've had 73 aerial victories. |
| 01:32:29 |
Do you know how I managed to do that? |
| 01:32:32 |
If I couldn't win a dogfight |
| 01:32:34 |
I would turn around and flee. |
| 01:32:36 |
And why do you believe that |
| 01:32:40 |
And our Fatherland? |
| 01:32:42 |
Our German values? |
| 01:32:43 |
Our men out there in the battlefield. |
| 01:32:46 |
Do you want to leave them to the enemy? |
| 01:32:48 |
Throw them at the feet of the enemy? |
| 01:32:52 |
French ones... |
| 01:32:55 |
the best cigarettes |
| 01:32:59 |
Why do we presume |
| 01:33:01 |
that our values are better than French ones? |
| 01:33:04 |
Or better than the British or American |
| 01:33:07 |
They aren't better. |
| 01:33:10 |
There isn't even a difference. |
| 01:33:13 |
We all just need an excuse |
| 01:33:16 |
or else |
| 01:33:17 |
we would see who we really are. |
| 01:33:25 |
Put this guy in a plane again! |
| 01:33:29 |
With a parachute. |
| 01:33:31 |
I can't afford to lose another hero. |
| 01:33:43 |
Avesnes-Le-Sec, France, March 1918 |
| 01:33:47 |
Operation Michael |
| 01:33:53 |
Our infantry is attacking from two |
| 01:33:55 |
At St. Quentin, here and here. |
| 01:33:58 |
The main battle line would be 70 km long. |
| 01:34:00 |
That's right. |
| 01:34:03 |
Three armies. |
| 01:34:06 |
The 2nd Army and the 17th Army |
| 01:34:07 |
start the offensive here. |
| 01:34:10 |
The 18th army is going to advance here. |
| 01:34:13 |
Our task is to win aerial superiority of |
| 01:34:15 |
the airspace and remain in control of it. |
| 01:34:18 |
That's no problem at all, or is it |
| 01:34:20 |
They have four times more planes than us, |
| 01:34:25 |
We were struggling with them already for |
| 01:34:30 |
It will be worse than ever. |
| 01:34:34 |
They will send everything they have. |
| 01:34:50 |
Fucking cold. |
| 01:35:40 |
What the hell are you doing? |
| 01:35:43 |
Excuse the disturbance, Lieutenant. |
| 01:35:45 |
What do you want with the picture of my |
| 01:35:48 |
He ordered me to take them off. |
| 01:35:50 |
All of his pictures. |
| 01:35:53 |
Sir. |
| 01:36:04 |
Move out! |
| 01:38:17 |
May god help us. |
| 01:38:30 |
Gentlemen. |
| 01:38:34 |
Let's go! |
| 01:38:55 |
Ignition! |
| 01:42:59 |
He really returned. |
| 01:43:02 |
His Flying Circus has swept |
| 01:43:06 |
He passed over us. |
| 01:43:09 |
He waved at us. |
| 01:43:19 |
Richthofen's Fighter Squadron1, Cappy, |
| 01:43:36 |
Captain! |
| 01:43:47 |
Gentlemen! |
| 01:43:52 |
The High Command in northern sector wants |
| 01:43:54 |
I want to thank you, too. |
| 01:43:56 |
You fought outstandingly. |
| 01:43:58 |
Thank you. |
| 01:44:02 |
Thank you Captain. |
| 01:44:51 |
That's not how you pictured your |
| 01:44:57 |
The glorious Captain that |
| 01:45:01 |
The biggest hero of the Fatherland. |
| 01:45:03 |
The ace of aces with 80 victories. |
| 01:45:07 |
Nobody else has shot down so many of them. |
| 01:45:11 |
I am really proud to be his brother. |
| 01:45:18 |
You don't have a chance against this |
| 01:45:23 |
Peace? |
| 01:45:56 |
Is that one of yours? |
| 01:46:00 |
I don't remember anymore. |
| 01:46:03 |
You are flying again, right? |
| 01:46:08 |
Why did you hide it. |
| 01:46:10 |
Why did you lie to me again? |
| 01:46:32 |
I didn't want to worry you. |
| 01:46:34 |
I just want that you are happy. |
| 01:46:36 |
Käthe, I can't do what they want from me. |
| 01:46:39 |
They offered you security. |
| 01:46:41 |
Your life. |
| 01:46:48 |
When I was a little boy... |
| 01:46:51 |
I could hit every target with |
| 01:46:55 |
Targets that the others couldn't see |
| 01:47:00 |
I dreamed of seeing everything. |
| 01:47:02 |
Like a bird. |
| 01:47:04 |
Falcon eye. |
| 01:47:06 |
"Eagle eye" was my nickname. |
| 01:47:10 |
When I became a pilot |
| 01:47:12 |
I really thought that I could see |
| 01:47:17 |
I saw nothing. |
| 01:47:19 |
I was blind before I met you. |
| 01:47:23 |
You opened my eyes. |
| 01:47:26 |
You showed me what I didn't want to see. |
| 01:47:29 |
We all just wanted to fly. |
| 01:47:32 |
Voss, Sternberg... |
| 01:47:34 |
Lehmann, Wolff... |
| 01:47:36 |
Hawker |
| 01:47:39 |
No matter which side, we all knew the risks. |
| 01:47:45 |
I wanted to be the best. |
| 01:47:48 |
I wanted to win and I assumed I had won. |
| 01:47:50 |
But now I can see, Käthe. |
| 01:47:51 |
I can see now that we turned the world into |
| 01:47:54 |
And I have already contributed too much |
| 01:47:58 |
They are faking hope with my photo |
| 01:48:00 |
where there is no hope left. |
| 01:48:02 |
They use my name. |
| 01:48:03 |
To pretend that there is immortality |
| 01:48:05 |
although there is only pain and death left. |
| 01:48:08 |
You said it yourself: |
| 01:48:10 |
"The men who die out there have no choice." |
| 01:48:12 |
I have. |
| 01:48:13 |
I can't simply order them into battle. |
| 01:48:16 |
I can perhaps lead them out there. |
| 01:48:18 |
Help them. |
| 01:48:19 |
Die with them. |
| 01:48:20 |
But I will never betray them or hide the |
| 01:48:22 |
by playing an immortal God in Berlin. |
| 01:48:31 |
You |
| 01:48:32 |
You are my biggest victory. |
| 01:48:54 |
Captain? |
| 01:48:57 |
Excuse me please. |
| 01:49:00 |
Capt... |
| 01:49:04 |
Captain, an enemy squadron is approaching |
| 01:49:08 |
Thank you. |
| 01:49:10 |
Sir. |
| 01:49:31 |
Yes, thank you. |
| 01:49:40 |
They were sighted a Lagnycourt. |
| 01:49:42 |
That means... |
| 01:49:43 |
They are coming from north west. |
| 01:49:46 |
Thank you. |
| 01:49:48 |
Brother. |
| 01:49:49 |
How about me leading Nr 11 and you fly to |
| 01:49:52 |
It will be my pleasure. |
| 01:49:54 |
Wolfram |
| 01:49:56 |
You avoid every dogfight! |
| 01:49:58 |
Stay near to Lothar. |
| 01:50:00 |
If you are attacked you fly back! |
| 01:50:02 |
And fast. |
| 01:50:04 |
Intelligence and cowardice are very close. |
| 01:50:24 |
A nice day to fly. |
| 01:50:29 |
You are a courageous man, Baron. |
| 01:50:36 |
A very courageous man... |
| 01:52:48 |
Ignition! |
| 01:53:59 |
Allied territory, northern France |
| 01:54:02 |
two weeks later |
| 01:54:33 |
Thank you. |
| 01:54:34 |
You are welcome. |
| 01:54:36 |
Mademoiselle. |
| 01:55:25 |
I wanted to visit you much earlier. |
| 01:55:29 |
But it wasn't easy to get into allied |
| 01:55:36 |
But then our friend helped me. |
| 01:55:42 |
He asked me why it is important for me to |
| 01:55:47 |
I told him I love you. |
| 01:55:53 |
Did I ever tell you? |
| 01:57:10 |
Manfred von Richthofen |
| 01:57:13 |
The most successful pilot |
| 01:57:16 |
Shot down on 21. April 1918 |

He was buried with military |

Kate Otersdorf, nothing is known about her |
| 01:57:35 |
Captain Roy Brown. He was then believed |
| 01:57:41 |
But until now nobody knows exactly how the |
| 01:57:45 |
Captain Brown died of a heart attack in 1944 |
| 01:57:47 |
Lothar von Richthofen survived ww1 |
| 01:57:50 |
He had a fatal accident on July 4 1922 |
| 01:57:53 |
while landing a transport plan in Hamburg. |
| 01:58:01 |
Werner Voss, Fighter Ace and one of |

Kurt Wolff, 33 Kills, shot down on |

He forgot to take his bedcap on his last |

Many jewish pilots fought for the German |

They are all represented by the fictional |

Wolfram von Richthofen, Richthofen's cousin |
| 01:58:40 |
the last months of ww1 as a pilot |

until Germany surrendered on November 1918 |
