0:07:34 > 0:07:36Look, my new weapon.

0:07:38 > 0:07:41Get one for yourself. Some ammunition.

0:07:41 > 0:07:43- Give him a hand. - Of course.

0:07:44 > 0:07:45Look at that!

0:07:47 > 0:07:50- Nothing we haven't seen before. - Steiner.

0:07:50 > 0:07:53Look what I found running around in the back.

0:07:53 > 0:07:54A little Russian fledgling.

0:08:01 > 0:08:02Put it down.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12HE PLAYS HARMONICA

0:08:26 > 0:08:27Quickly!

0:08:30 > 0:08:31We go.

0:08:32 > 0:08:34See if you can get Meyer.

0:08:34 > 0:08:38Tell him we'll need transportation from checkpoint seven.

0:08:38 > 0:08:39Right, sir.

0:08:41 > 0:08:42Bring him with us.

0:08:44 > 0:08:45Push, push, push, push, push!

0:08:47 > 0:08:49Come on, come on! Quickly!

0:08:53 > 0:08:55All right, stop.

0:09:05 > 0:09:06STRANSKY URINATES

0:09:18 > 0:09:20This damned country!

0:09:21 > 0:09:24Once it was a new adventure, but...

0:09:25 > 0:09:27..I have a feeling that one of these days

0:09:27 > 0:09:30this land will swallow us up.

0:09:30 > 0:09:32Captain Stransky, sir.

0:09:33 > 0:09:36- Colonel Brandt. You're welcome. - Thank you, sir.

0:09:40 > 0:09:44This is my adjutant, Captain Kiesel.

0:09:44 > 0:09:45Captain, how are you?

0:09:45 > 0:09:48Thank you for asking, Captain. I feel terrible. I've got diarrhoea.

0:09:48 > 0:09:50How are you?

0:09:50 > 0:09:53You should meet your own adjutant, Lieutenant Triebig.

0:09:53 > 0:09:55He's also a new arrival.

0:09:55 > 0:09:57Won't you join us in a glass of wine?

0:09:57 > 0:10:00Oh, that's very kind of you, sir. Take my coat, please.

0:10:00 > 0:10:02ORDERLY: Yes, sir. STRANSKY: Hmm.

0:10:02 > 0:10:03HE HUMS

0:10:05 > 0:10:07My respects, Colonel.

0:10:07 > 0:10:11A 1937 Mosel in the southernmost corner of Russia.

0:10:12 > 0:10:14Remarkable!

0:10:14 > 0:10:17A bottle of Mosel is no more out of place in this region

0:10:17 > 0:10:19than we are ourselves.

0:10:20 > 0:10:23- Your health, gentlemen. - I'm not going to drink to my health.

0:10:23 > 0:10:26It's not worth drinking to.

0:10:27 > 0:10:29To the end of the war?

0:10:38 > 0:10:44Colonel, why does our presence here strike you as so absurd?

0:10:44 > 0:10:48Captain, why did you ask to be relieved from duty in France?

0:10:48 > 0:10:50I want to get the Iron Cross.

0:10:52 > 0:10:54We could give you one of mine.

0:10:54 > 0:10:57- No, no! I'm just joking. - THUNDER RUMBLES

0:10:57 > 0:10:59Actually it's exactly what my commanding officer

0:10:59 > 0:11:01in France asked me.

0:11:01 > 0:11:03"I can't stop you," he said.

0:11:03 > 0:11:06"Since I'm convinced that without you the Eastern Front

0:11:06 > 0:11:08"would collapse in a matter of days.

0:11:08 > 0:11:12"Go ahead, you heroic horse's ass."

0:11:12 > 0:11:13LARGE EXPLOSION

0:11:18 > 0:11:22"Heroic horse's ass"! His exact words.

0:11:23 > 0:11:26I withdraw my toast to the end of the war.

0:11:26 > 0:11:29To heroic horse's asses everywhere.

0:11:29 > 0:11:31To the patient foolish.

0:11:31 > 0:11:34Colonel, I would like to make something quite clear

0:11:34 > 0:11:36to Captain Kiesel.

0:11:36 > 0:11:39I volunteered for this campaign

0:11:39 > 0:11:43because I feel that men of quality are needed here.

0:11:43 > 0:11:49It is time to destroy the myth of Russian invincibility.

0:11:49 > 0:11:51Just how do we do that?

0:11:51 > 0:11:53Bolstering morale,

0:11:53 > 0:11:57punishing those who are insubordinate and rebellious.

0:11:57 > 0:11:59Instilling a new respect for ranking officers.

0:11:59 > 0:12:02Low morale goes hand in hand with defeat after defeat

0:12:02 > 0:12:04followed by impending defeat.

0:12:04 > 0:12:07Now you are new to our Russian front,

0:12:07 > 0:12:11so I don't blame you for talking like a horse's ass.

0:12:11 > 0:12:12HE CHUCKLES

0:12:12 > 0:12:13EXPLOSION

0:12:16 > 0:12:20Of course, sir, I'm not familiar with the Russian front yet,

0:12:20 > 0:12:26but I firmly don't believe that the ideals of the German soldier even...

0:12:26 > 0:12:30The German soldier no longer has any ideals.

0:12:30 > 0:12:33He's not fighting for the culture of the West,

0:12:33 > 0:12:36not for one form of government that he wants,

0:12:36 > 0:12:37and not for the stinking Party.

0:12:37 > 0:12:41He's fighting for his life. God bless him.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43- Well, sir, I am a soldier... - PHONE RINGS

0:12:43 > 0:12:49and as a soldier, I feel it is my duty to subordinate my own ideas

0:12:49 > 0:12:53to the principles of my country, right or wrong.

0:12:53 > 0:12:56Colonel Brandt, Lieutenant Meyer, sir.

0:12:56 > 0:12:57- Ah. - HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

0:13:00 > 0:13:02- Yes?- Steiner's on his way back.

0:13:02 > 0:13:05- What sort of shape are they in? - The usual!

0:13:05 > 0:13:07Very well, I see.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09I want a briefing as soon as they're rested.

0:13:09 > 0:13:13- Yes, sir.- And, Meyer, Captain Stransky is here.

0:13:13 > 0:13:16See that he is informed of our situation.

0:13:16 > 0:13:17Yes, sir.

0:13:18 > 0:13:20SHELL WHISTLES

0:13:20 > 0:13:22SHELL EXPLODES

0:13:22 > 0:13:24HE SIGHS

0:13:24 > 0:13:26- Steiner's back.- Of course.

0:13:29 > 0:13:30Who's Steiner?

0:13:31 > 0:13:34To you, in some ways, he could be a problem.

0:13:34 > 0:13:37But he's a first-rate soldier.

0:13:37 > 0:13:40So, we look the other way.

0:13:40 > 0:13:43Anything to add to that, Kiesel?

0:13:45 > 0:13:48Steiner is a myth.

0:13:49 > 0:13:53But men like him are our last hope.

0:13:54 > 0:13:58And in that sense, he is truly a very dangerous man.

0:14:05 > 0:14:07Well, I will see.

0:14:08 > 0:14:10Colonel, with your permission.

0:14:24 > 0:14:28Well, what do you think of our new captain?

0:14:28 > 0:14:31I feel he thinks he is on some kind of special mission,

0:14:31 > 0:14:36that is, to achieve spiritual domination of his battalion,

0:14:36 > 0:14:42thereby symbolising the purity of the great German Wehrmacht itself.

0:14:44 > 0:14:45MEN SCREAM

0:14:50 > 0:14:52Even when going down in defeat.

0:14:54 > 0:14:56SCREAMING

0:15:10 > 0:15:14If they're the last of us, Stransky and Steiner, then God help us.

0:15:21 > 0:15:24- SOLDIER:- Medic!

0:15:24 > 0:15:26Medic! Medic!

0:15:28 > 0:15:31Captain Stransky, welcome to the second platoon.

0:15:33 > 0:15:36- Lieutenant.- Meyer, Captain.

0:15:36 > 0:15:38I am to show you to your quarters,

0:15:38 > 0:15:40brief you on our current situation.

0:15:41 > 0:15:43MAN SCREAMS

0:15:43 > 0:15:46- Where's my bunker?- Down there, in front of the factory, sir.

0:15:46 > 0:15:49- The second platoon is guarding your post.- Where are they?

0:15:49 > 0:15:52They're just returning from reconnaissance, sir.

0:15:52 > 0:15:55- Who's in charge of it? - Corporal Steiner, sir.

0:15:55 > 0:15:56Ah.

0:15:56 > 0:15:59What is so special about this Corporal Steiner?

0:15:59 > 0:16:00Early in the Novorossiysk attack,

0:16:00 > 0:16:03Corporal Steiner saved Colonel Brandt's life.

0:16:03 > 0:16:04- Ah!- And mine, too.

0:16:04 > 0:16:06Interesting.

0:16:14 > 0:16:15Corporal Steiner!

0:16:17 > 0:16:22I'm Captain Stransky. I'm your new commander here.

0:16:22 > 0:16:24Yes, sir.

0:16:26 > 0:16:27Who's this?

0:16:27 > 0:16:29Corporal Schnurrbart, sir.

0:16:29 > 0:16:31And the other one?

0:16:31 > 0:16:33That is a Russian prisoner, sir.

0:16:34 > 0:16:36You know as well as I do

0:16:36 > 0:16:40that there are orders that no Russian prisoners are to be taken.

0:16:40 > 0:16:42Get rid of him.

0:16:42 > 0:16:44How, sir?

0:16:44 > 0:16:46Well...

0:16:46 > 0:16:47shoot him!

0:16:47 > 0:16:49You shoot him, sir.

0:16:54 > 0:16:58I will. On the spot.

0:16:58 > 0:17:00And then I'll deal with you.

0:17:04 > 0:17:06No need.

0:17:06 > 0:17:09I'll see that it's taken care of, sir.

0:17:21 > 0:17:25I want to see you in my bunker.

0:17:25 > 0:17:26One hour.

0:17:26 > 0:17:28With your full report.

0:17:28 > 0:17:30- Clear?- Of course, sir.

0:17:56 > 0:17:58Agh..

0:18:01 > 0:18:05- You already drank most of the vodka. - I'm using it for the cooking.

0:18:05 > 0:18:07Yeah!

0:18:25 > 0:18:26SHELL EXPLODES

0:19:25 > 0:19:27Oh, shit.

0:19:37 > 0:19:40- Corporal Steiner?- I'm Lily Marlene.

0:19:44 > 0:19:45Come here, son.

0:19:49 > 0:19:50Steiner!

0:19:52 > 0:19:55I want to show you what our new army looks like.

0:20:03 > 0:20:06- What's your name, son? - Private Dietz, sir.

0:20:06 > 0:20:09They're sending us babies now.

0:20:09 > 0:20:10Hello, child.

0:20:10 > 0:20:12Private Dietz.

0:20:15 > 0:20:17How long have you been soldiering?

0:20:17 > 0:20:19Six weeks, sir. I volunteered, sir.

0:20:19 > 0:20:22Don't volunteer for anything around here.

0:20:22 > 0:20:24Just keep your eye on Kruger here, and myself.

0:20:24 > 0:20:26Do exactly as we say

0:20:26 > 0:20:28or you'll be wearing boots up your ass for a long time.

0:20:28 > 0:20:30- Clear?- Yes, sir!

0:20:31 > 0:20:34- And don't call me sir.- Excuse me.

0:20:36 > 0:20:38Go with this foul-smelling one over here.

0:20:38 > 0:20:40Put him in Schiller's bunk.

0:20:45 > 0:20:47Kern...

0:20:48 > 0:20:52..see if you can find a... jacket or a blanket,

0:20:52 > 0:20:54something for the boy.

0:20:54 > 0:20:56Get Schiller's jacket. He must have something over there.

0:20:56 > 0:20:59Yes, sir! Oh, excuse me.

0:20:59 > 0:21:01- STRANSKY:- Stand at ease.

0:21:01 > 0:21:03Thank you, sir.

0:21:03 > 0:21:05RADIO CHATTER

0:21:05 > 0:21:07- My report. - Thank you.

0:21:09 > 0:21:14I regret the incident this afternoon, Corporal.

0:21:14 > 0:21:16But orders are orders.

0:21:16 > 0:21:20We have enough trouble with the feeding of our own troops

0:21:20 > 0:21:22without taking prisoners.

0:21:23 > 0:21:25Anyway, it's very bad for security.

0:21:27 > 0:21:30I've read your preliminary report,

0:21:30 > 0:21:33and it gives me great pleasure to inform you that

0:21:33 > 0:21:36Colonel Brandt and I have agreed to recommend you

0:21:36 > 0:21:41for promotion to Senior Sergeant, effective at once.

0:21:47 > 0:21:50Your promotion doesn't seem to have made much of an impression.

0:21:50 > 0:21:52No, it doesn't.

0:21:57 > 0:21:58All right.

0:21:59 > 0:22:03I've read your report. Anything to add to this?

0:22:03 > 0:22:06Russians, sir. We should be hearing from them very soon, sir.

0:22:06 > 0:22:08- An offensive? - Yes, I should think so, sir.

0:22:08 > 0:22:10- Starting when?- Soon.

0:22:14 > 0:22:17- What about your platoon? - Two killed, one missing.

0:22:17 > 0:22:19Two killed, how?

0:22:21 > 0:22:23Bullets. Mortar fire.

0:22:23 > 0:22:25Artillery. Heavy salvos. Bad luck.

0:22:25 > 0:22:29Terminal syphilis. The usual things, Captain.

0:22:30 > 0:22:34The missing man, did you look for him, Steiner?

0:22:34 > 0:22:36- No, sir. - Why not?

0:22:36 > 0:22:38I felt that it would be irresponsible of me

0:22:38 > 0:22:40to risk the safety of the entire platoon

0:22:40 > 0:22:42for the sake of one man.

0:22:46 > 0:22:47You felt what?

0:22:51 > 0:22:53A non-commissioned officer

0:22:53 > 0:22:57does not permit a missing man in such a case. In any case!

0:22:57 > 0:22:59I'll try to do better next time, sir.

0:22:59 > 0:23:01- I'd like to have that in writing. - If you wish.

0:23:05 > 0:23:09You know, Corporal... Sergeant!

0:23:09 > 0:23:14I have a feeling you somewhat overestimate your importance.

0:23:14 > 0:23:19At the moment, I am free of any such illusions, sir.

0:23:21 > 0:23:23Well, may I suggest to you

0:23:23 > 0:23:26that you do not underestimate your present company?

0:23:26 > 0:23:33Everything you are and may become is dependent upon this present company.

0:23:33 > 0:23:35No, I will not forget that, sir.

0:23:36 > 0:23:38But I may add that a man is generally

0:23:38 > 0:23:41what he feels himself to be.

0:23:46 > 0:23:49Of course.

0:23:49 > 0:23:50Of course.

0:23:51 > 0:23:53You're dismissed.

0:23:56 > 0:23:58I shall be back soon, sir.

0:23:58 > 0:24:00Is that a salute?

0:24:03 > 0:24:04Yes, sir.

0:24:06 > 0:24:09- Triebig.- Yes, sir.

0:24:09 > 0:24:13You must be careful, Steiner. He's taken a strong dislike to you.

0:24:13 > 0:24:15I'll survive.

0:24:15 > 0:24:18You're not dealing with just another Nazi Party type.

0:24:20 > 0:24:23This one is pure Prussian military aristocracy and rich.

0:24:28 > 0:24:31Hey, why are you bringing in the apples?

0:24:31 > 0:24:33To eat, you overgrown idiot.

0:24:33 > 0:24:34You know the ruling classes?

0:24:34 > 0:24:37Come now, Lieutenant, what's left for them to rule?

0:24:37 > 0:24:38Don't be naive.

0:24:38 > 0:24:41Stransky will survive this war one way or another.

0:24:41 > 0:24:45And he'll still have his land, his wealth...

0:24:45 > 0:24:46SHELL WHISTLES

0:24:47 > 0:24:49..and his status.

0:24:50 > 0:24:54But he'll be very dangerous in defeat. Be careful with him.

0:24:54 > 0:24:56He doesn't live in the same world we live in.

0:24:56 > 0:24:58Ah, no, he's living in my world now.

0:24:58 > 0:25:00Yeah, sure.

0:25:00 > 0:25:01- Lieutenant?- Yeah?

0:25:01 > 0:25:04Please, would you come inside for a minute?

0:25:04 > 0:25:07There's something I'd like to show you.

0:25:07 > 0:25:10Kern, don't just stand there drinking, help us!

0:25:11 > 0:25:13ALL SING IN GERMAN

0:25:31 > 0:25:33THEY CHUCKLE

0:25:33 > 0:25:35Thank you. I didn't realise that you knew.

0:25:35 > 0:25:37Oh, you forget we are a reconnaissance platoon.

0:25:37 > 0:25:39Happy birthday, Lieutenant Meyer.

0:25:39 > 0:25:42- Yes! - ALL:- Happy birthday!

0:25:46 > 0:25:49Explain everything to the Captain's orderly,

0:25:49 > 0:25:51so he doesn't make any mistakes, will you?

0:25:55 > 0:25:58And take care of your uniform. He's rather strict about it.

0:25:58 > 0:26:02Russian vodka, German wine, chickens.

0:26:02 > 0:26:04Oh, Maag, I don't know how we have stayed alive so long!

0:27:41 > 0:27:43- For all of you arseholes!- Come on!

0:28:38 > 0:28:41All right, now. Lieutenant Meyer is to have a meeting

0:28:41 > 0:28:44with our illustrious new commandant, Captain Stransky,

0:28:44 > 0:28:46whom you'll all meet shortly.

0:28:46 > 0:28:49This is not a funeral, gentlemen. This is a birthday party.

0:29:15 > 0:29:17Thank you, sir.

0:29:19 > 0:29:23Where were you stationed before you joined the battalion?

0:29:23 > 0:29:26In the South of France. Biarritz.

0:29:26 > 0:29:31- CHUCKLES:- I know it well. Sit down.

0:29:31 > 0:29:36Sit down. Tell me about it. It's such a beautiful country.

0:29:36 > 0:29:39And being transferred must have come hard, hmm?

0:29:39 > 0:29:41I applied for it as you did, sir.

0:29:41 > 0:29:43As I did?

0:29:45 > 0:29:47That's interesting.

0:29:47 > 0:29:49And your orderly?

0:29:49 > 0:29:52- We served together. - In the South of France!

0:29:52 > 0:29:54HE CHUCKLES

0:29:54 > 0:29:56Ah, those French girls!

0:29:56 > 0:30:00Comment elles sont delicieux!

0:30:00 > 0:30:04- LAUGHS:- Those French girls, Triebig!

0:30:04 > 0:30:08I did have not much time to think about those French girls.

0:30:08 > 0:30:13Really? And you, Keppler? Did you enjoy the French girls?

0:30:13 > 0:30:15On occasion.

0:30:15 > 0:30:18# Sur le Pont d'Avignon

0:30:18 > 0:30:21# L'ont y danse, l'ont y danse. #

0:30:21 > 0:30:25Let me ask you a question, Triebig. Do you like soldiering?

0:30:25 > 0:30:29Certainly, I like it, sir.

0:30:29 > 0:30:31But it is strange at times.

0:30:31 > 0:30:34It is indeed a very different world.

0:30:34 > 0:30:37A world of danger, and a world of men.

0:30:39 > 0:30:43- A world without women, hmm, Keppler? - HE CHUCKLES

0:30:43 > 0:30:46- Yes.- A world without women.

0:30:49 > 0:30:50Thank you.

0:30:54 > 0:30:56It's an old theory of mine.

0:30:56 > 0:31:00Men can get along without women easily, easily, I tell you.

0:31:00 > 0:31:06A man's true destiny is not just breeding children,

0:31:06 > 0:31:08all this childbirth, and chocolate,

0:31:08 > 0:31:12but to be free, to rule and to fight.

0:31:12 > 0:31:14In other words, to lead a man's existence.

0:31:15 > 0:31:20Women are no more than a nuisance.

0:31:20 > 0:31:23Sometimes... Sometimes necessary.

0:31:23 > 0:31:25I'm a soldier, sir.

0:31:25 > 0:31:28If I have to, I can do without women.

0:31:28 > 0:31:29Really?

0:31:32 > 0:31:34And you, Keppler?

0:31:34 > 0:31:37Can you do without women?

0:31:37 > 0:31:39I do as I am ordered, sir.

0:31:39 > 0:31:41- LAUGHS:- I like that! I like that answer.

0:31:41 > 0:31:44"I do as I am ordered." I like that.

0:31:46 > 0:31:49What is your first name?

0:31:49 > 0:31:51Josef.

0:31:51 > 0:31:55Josef, Josef.

0:31:57 > 0:32:02If it will help you, I'll put your thoughts into the right words.

0:32:02 > 0:32:06You prefer the society of men to that of women

0:32:06 > 0:32:09at any and all situations.

0:32:09 > 0:32:10Right?

0:32:14 > 0:32:16I don't understand, Captain.

0:32:16 > 0:32:18Come on, Triebig.

0:32:18 > 0:32:23You don't have to put up a front with me. With me of all people.

0:32:23 > 0:32:25What I said was right, wasn't it?

0:32:25 > 0:32:29You prefer the society of men to that of women.

0:32:29 > 0:32:32Come on, we're all soldiers. There's no harm in it.

0:32:32 > 0:32:35Say yes, for heaven's sake, man, say yes!

0:32:37 > 0:32:39Possibly.

0:32:39 > 0:32:42You said yes.

0:32:42 > 0:32:45You said yes!

0:32:45 > 0:32:49He said yes, didn't he, Keppler? He said yes!

0:32:49 > 0:32:51You said yes. Didn't he, Keppler?

0:32:51 > 0:32:53He said yes, didn't he, Keppler?

0:32:53 > 0:32:56- Yes. - Louder!

0:32:56 > 0:33:00Didn't he, Keppler? Louder! Say yes, loud!

0:33:00 > 0:33:01Yes.

0:33:01 > 0:33:02- Louder!- Yes!

0:33:02 > 0:33:04- Louder!- Yes!

0:33:16 > 0:33:18I can assure you of this,

0:34:43 > 0:34:46The Geneva Convention forbids the use of mustard gas.

0:36:23 > 0:36:26Didn't someone say that war is the highest expression in life

0:36:26 > 0:36:28for the truly cultured people?

0:36:28 > 0:36:35Yes, a foolish wise man named Friedrich von Bernhardi.

0:36:35 > 0:36:36- Right!- Yeah!

0:36:36 > 0:36:38- And Von Clausewitz said... - Von Clausewitz?

0:36:38 > 0:36:45Ah, Von Clausewitz said, "War is a continuation of state policy..."

0:52:18 > 0:52:19They'll throw me out.

0:52:25 > 0:52:27Do you dance?

0:52:29 > 0:52:34Hold my bottle. I'll hold your waist...

0:52:36 > 0:52:38..and we dance.

0:52:39 > 0:52:42Listen, this is ridiculous.

0:52:47 > 0:52:49It's nice.

0:52:49 > 0:52:51THEY LAUGH

0:53:03 > 0:53:05Schnurrbart!

0:53:05 > 0:53:07Rolf?

0:53:07 > 0:53:09What the hell are you doing here? Lost?

0:53:09 > 0:53:11No such luck, Rolf.

0:53:11 > 0:53:14I got it in the leg same time you got it in the head.

0:53:14 > 0:53:15Schnurrbart!

0:53:15 > 0:53:17My vacation's over.

0:53:17 > 0:53:20It's back to the bad side of old mother Russia.

0:53:20 > 0:53:23They took us all from our hospital.

0:53:23 > 0:53:27It looks like we're picking up some of your boys as well.

0:53:27 > 0:53:29You want to come along or are you doing all right?

0:53:32 > 0:53:34Attention, men! Prepare to leave.

0:53:36 > 0:53:40Corporal! Hold this truck.

0:53:40 > 0:53:41What the hell are you talking about?

0:53:41 > 0:53:44That's an order, Goddamn it!

0:53:49 > 0:53:51- Rolf?- What?

0:53:51 > 0:53:53- What is it?- What?

0:53:55 > 0:53:56What's the matter?

0:53:58 > 0:54:00I'm going back.

0:54:04 > 0:54:07I thought you were going back home.

0:54:09 > 0:54:11I have no home.

0:54:11 > 0:54:13My home.

0:54:16 > 0:54:17Our home.

0:54:40 > 0:54:43Do you love the war so much?

0:55:03 > 0:55:08Is that... Is that what's wrong with you, Steiner?

0:55:16 > 0:55:18Or are you afraid of what you will be without it?

0:55:40 > 0:55:42Long live Germany.

0:55:56 > 0:55:58I said to hold it, right?

0:55:58 > 0:56:01- Steiner, I didn't mean it. You're crazy!- Schnurrbart.

0:56:39 > 0:56:40Rolf!

0:56:44 > 0:56:46Son of a bitch!

0:56:46 > 0:56:49- Schnurrbart!- Hello, Kern!

0:56:51 > 0:56:54- Hello, Hartwig.- Hello, Sergeant.

0:56:54 > 0:56:55- Hartwig!- Schnurrbart, how are you?

0:56:55 > 0:56:57Caught with your pants down again, huh?

0:56:57 > 0:56:59Whew.

0:57:01 > 0:57:02Anselm.

0:57:06 > 0:57:07Welcome back, Sergeant.

0:57:09 > 0:57:11- Hollerbach!- Rolf, hello.

0:57:11 > 0:57:14Good to have you back, Schnurrbart.

0:57:21 > 0:57:22Kruger!

0:57:31 > 0:57:33You're back too soon. I don't want to talk to you.

0:57:33 > 0:57:35Leave me alone.

0:57:35 > 0:57:36Get your ass out of there, you old pirate.

0:57:36 > 0:57:38KRUGER LAUGHS

0:57:38 > 0:57:42I missed you. I missed you! Yeah.

0:57:42 > 0:57:43My, my, my! What is this?

0:57:43 > 0:57:46- That's a Zoll. - That's a Party member Zoll.

0:57:46 > 0:57:48With compliments of Captain Stransky.

0:57:48 > 0:57:50SS Special Action Squad.

0:57:50 > 0:57:51You still a Party member, Hollerbach?

0:57:51 > 0:57:54Well, Rolf, I'd dance with the party if I could find one.

0:57:54 > 0:57:56LAUGHTER

0:57:56 > 0:58:00Hey, silence. The Party is convinced we are winning the war.

0:58:00 > 0:58:02Yeah, sure, we're winning the war.

0:58:02 > 0:58:04LAUGHTER

0:58:05 > 0:58:10I hope you've memorised our serial numbers,

0:58:10 > 0:58:14our mothers' maiden names... correctly.

0:58:16 > 0:58:18I wouldn't want the Gestapo to come

0:58:18 > 0:58:20and arrest the wrong man, woman or child.

0:58:21 > 0:58:25I don't care what you believe, or what you've done.

0:58:27 > 0:58:30Your duty is to us, the platoon and me.

0:58:31 > 0:58:37Fulfil those responsibilities or you will have a bayonet up your ass.

0:58:37 > 0:58:39- Clear?- Yes, sir.

0:58:39 > 0:58:42I am playing nursemaid to the third squad, any volunteers?

0:58:42 > 0:58:44HE BLOWS RASPBERRY

0:58:44 > 0:58:46- Not me.- No chance.

0:58:46 > 0:58:49- Go alone this time. - Enjoy yourself.

0:58:49 > 0:58:50Thanks a lot.

0:58:50 > 0:58:53What have we here, a hawk and a hare, eh? I'll take you.

0:58:55 > 0:58:56Come on, have a drink.

0:58:56 > 0:58:58- That's your bottle. - Cheers, Rolf.

0:58:58 > 0:59:01Ah, give me that thing. Come on.

0:59:02 > 0:59:04Gentlemen.

0:59:04 > 0:59:05Cheers.

0:59:06 > 0:59:08Some papers for you to sign, Captain.

0:59:08 > 0:59:11- I'll sign them later. - RAT SQUEALS

0:59:11 > 0:59:15Stop that! Be careful with my JJ.

0:59:15 > 0:59:17Yes, sir.

0:59:17 > 0:59:19Have her treated correctly.

0:59:19 > 0:59:23- Sergeant Steiner reporting as ordered, sir.- Come in.

0:59:26 > 0:59:29Thank you. That will be all, gentlemen.

0:59:32 > 0:59:36- Welcome back, Sergeant Steiner. - Thank you, sir.

0:59:36 > 0:59:40Please sit down. Make yourself comfortable.

0:59:40 > 0:59:42MUSIC PLAYS FAINTLY ON RADIO

0:59:46 > 0:59:50Well, now that you're back - and I'm glad you're back.

0:59:50 > 0:59:55I think we should make a fresh start together.

0:59:55 > 0:59:58But the main point is...

0:59:59 > 1:00:03..the regiment feels or believes

1:00:03 > 1:00:08that I deserve the Iron Cross now.

1:00:08 > 1:00:11And they've asked me to produce two witnesses to the fact

1:00:11 > 1:00:13that I led the counterattack

1:00:13 > 1:00:16and threw the Russians out of their positions.

1:00:16 > 1:00:21I have named Lieutenant Triebig and you.

1:00:21 > 1:00:23Especially you.

1:00:25 > 1:00:29Lieutenant Triebig has already submitted his signature.

1:00:40 > 1:00:43Am I to believe this is a private conversation?

1:00:46 > 1:00:48That would occur to you, wouldn't it?

1:00:48 > 1:00:53All right, have some wine, a '36 Mosel.

1:00:55 > 1:00:57I'll have some.

1:01:03 > 1:01:05Thank you, Sergeant.

1:01:08 > 1:01:15But still remember that in civilian as well as in military life

1:01:15 > 1:01:18a distinction is made between people.

1:01:20 > 1:01:25Is that what you meant when you said, "All you are and may become

1:01:25 > 1:01:28"is dependent upon this present company?"

1:01:30 > 1:01:32Well, the difference...

1:01:34 > 1:01:37..is a matter of ethical...

1:01:40 > 1:01:44..and intellectual superiority which is caused,

1:01:44 > 1:01:49whether you like it or not, by blood and by class difference.

1:01:49 > 1:01:54If I remember correctly Kant was the son of a saddle maker

1:01:54 > 1:01:57and Schubert's father was a poor schoolmaster.

1:01:59 > 1:02:04Perhaps talent, sensitivity and character are no longer privileges

1:02:04 > 1:02:08of the so-called upper class.

1:02:08 > 1:02:11But Kant and Schubert were exceptions.

1:02:11 > 1:02:14We're talking about general concepts.

1:02:16 > 1:02:21- Not individuals. - But I am one and so are you.

1:02:21 > 1:02:23Didn't your fuhrer say

1:02:23 > 1:02:26that all class distinctions were to be abolished?

1:02:26 > 1:02:29I'm an officer of the Wehrmacht. I've never been a Party member.

1:02:29 > 1:02:31I'm a Prussian aristocrat

1:02:31 > 1:02:34and I don't want to be put into the same category!

1:02:34 > 1:02:36So we agree for once.

1:02:36 > 1:02:38Good.

1:02:40 > 1:02:42But he is still our fuhrer.

1:02:45 > 1:02:47Unfortunately.

1:02:47 > 1:02:48Oh...

1:02:49 > 1:02:51THUNDER RUMBLES

1:02:51 > 1:02:55That is a different question, Sergeant.

1:02:55 > 1:02:57That's not up to us to judge.

1:02:57 > 1:02:59Why do you want it so badly?

1:03:04 > 1:03:06It's just a piece of worthless metal.

1:03:08 > 1:03:09Look!

1:03:12 > 1:03:15It's not worthless to me.

1:03:15 > 1:03:17Why is it so important to you?

1:03:17 > 1:03:19Tell me, Captain, why?

1:03:23 > 1:03:26Sergeant, if I go back...

1:03:29 > 1:03:31..without the Iron Cross...

1:03:34 > 1:03:37..I couldn't face my family.

1:03:41 > 1:03:43BOMB EXPLODES

1:03:43 > 1:03:46Personally, sir, I don't feel you deserve the Iron Cross.

1:03:59 > 1:04:00Incoming!

1:04:19 > 1:04:20Where are you going?

1:04:20 > 1:04:23I'm going to point 124. Corporal Kruger's over there.

1:04:23 > 1:04:25Are you crazy? No-one could survive this kind of assault.

1:04:25 > 1:04:28Get out of my way, Goddamn it. I'm going after him.

1:04:30 > 1:04:32Steiner!

1:04:32 > 1:04:34You get me some stretcher-bearers, damn it.

1:04:34 > 1:04:36Steiner! Steiner!

1:04:49 > 1:04:51HE SCREAMS

1:06:06 > 1:06:08The others?

1:06:11 > 1:06:12Dead, all dead.

1:06:25 > 1:06:27Oh, God. Listen to me.

1:06:34 > 1:06:36We are going to leave now.

1:06:37 > 1:06:40Will you get up and follow me out of here?

1:06:41 > 1:06:42All right?

1:06:45 > 1:06:47Three hours.

1:06:49 > 1:06:53Three hours I've been here by myself.

1:06:57 > 1:06:58HE EXHALES

1:06:58 > 1:07:03I don't ever want to be alone again.

1:07:03 > 1:07:06I don't ever want to be alone again.

1:07:06 > 1:07:08You won't, you won't.

1:07:12 > 1:07:13MACHINE GUN FIRE

1:07:18 > 1:07:20Come on.

1:07:21 > 1:07:24Why the hell wasn't I told of Steiner's return to the battalion?

1:07:24 > 1:07:26My apologies for that, sir.

1:07:26 > 1:07:28There were more important things to do.

1:07:28 > 1:07:30I want him here at once.

1:07:30 > 1:07:34About a predicament of which I am sure you don't need to be reminded.

1:07:34 > 1:07:36- Clear, Stransky? - Quite clear, sir.

1:07:39 > 1:07:40Now we shall see.

1:07:40 > 1:07:43I don't like the tone of his voice.

1:07:43 > 1:07:45I'm fed up with the whole situation.

1:07:45 > 1:07:47Well, it doesn't matter any more.

1:07:47 > 1:07:51I know from reliable sources that headquarters

1:07:51 > 1:07:56have already written off the Kuban bridgehead.

1:07:57 > 1:08:00And soon the whole Crimea will be a cul-de-sac.

1:08:02 > 1:08:04Report to Brandt.

1:08:06 > 1:08:11If you have the choice, Triebig, between Biarritz and Siberia,

1:08:11 > 1:08:13what would you choose?

1:08:16 > 1:08:19- Steiner. - Colonel.

1:08:21 > 1:08:23Sit down please, Steiner.

1:08:29 > 1:08:30How was hospital?

1:08:30 > 1:08:34Oh...interesting.

1:08:34 > 1:08:36I recommend it.

1:08:43 > 1:08:49Did Captain Stransky lead the counterattack

1:08:49 > 1:08:51the day Lieutenant Meyer was killed?

1:08:55 > 1:08:57Lieutenant Meyer led the attack.

1:08:57 > 1:09:00Captain Stransky was nowhere in sight.

1:09:00 > 1:09:02You're sure of that.

1:09:04 > 1:09:06I saw Lieutenant Meyer die.

1:09:06 > 1:09:08BOMB EXPLODES

1:09:10 > 1:09:12Fetch Triebig.

1:09:12 > 1:09:14Stay, I want you to listen.

1:09:19 > 1:09:20Sir?

1:09:24 > 1:09:26You signed your Captain's report.

1:09:26 > 1:09:30Were you present when Captain Stransky led the counterattack?

1:09:31 > 1:09:33I accompanied Captain Stransky to the field...

1:09:35 > 1:09:38..and saw him calling several men around him.

1:09:38 > 1:09:41Then he sent me back to the command post.

1:09:41 > 1:09:44Then how do you know that Captain Stransky led the counterattack?

1:09:44 > 1:09:47You've signed a statement to that effect, Triebig.

1:09:47 > 1:09:52I wasn't there. I learned of it from wounded men who were returning.

1:09:52 > 1:09:55Can you give me the name of one of these wounded men?

1:09:55 > 1:10:00They were not staff men, just company men.

1:10:00 > 1:10:02I knew them only by sight.

1:10:02 > 1:10:05Besides, the smoke, the battle. We had been under fire, sir.

1:10:05 > 1:10:07EXPLOSION

1:10:07 > 1:10:11I want you to know, Triebig, that I have had your statement checked.

1:10:13 > 1:10:17Captain Kiesel will inform you of the results of our investigation.

1:10:21 > 1:10:24Our investigation so far has disclosed...

1:10:26 > 1:10:29..that the men in the second company

1:10:29 > 1:10:33who took part in the action declared unanimously

1:10:33 > 1:10:38that the action was led by Lieutenant Meyer.

1:10:41 > 1:10:45None of them saw Captain Stransky or Lieutenant Triebig.

1:10:52 > 1:10:56To my mind there is nothing more contemptible

1:10:56 > 1:10:59than stealing the laurels which properly belong to a man

1:10:59 > 1:11:00who was killed in action.

1:11:01 > 1:11:04If Sergeant Steiner stands by his last testimony,

1:11:04 > 1:11:08I should be compelled to institute disciplinary proceedings

1:11:08 > 1:11:09against the Captain.

1:11:11 > 1:11:13And you.

1:11:13 > 1:11:15Yes, sir.

1:11:15 > 1:11:17Do you stand by your statement that Captain Stransky

1:11:17 > 1:11:19was not with the company?

1:11:19 > 1:11:21BOMB EXPLODES

1:11:41 > 1:11:47Would it be possible for me to give my answer in three or four days, sir?

1:11:47 > 1:11:49Did you see Stransky or not?

1:12:05 > 1:12:08You may go, Triebig. You're no longer needed.

1:12:11 > 1:12:14What in God's name has got into you? This is your chance!

1:12:14 > 1:12:16You are the only person that stands between Stransky

1:12:16 > 1:12:18and his Iron Cross.

1:12:18 > 1:12:20And you could be called as a primary witness against him

1:12:20 > 1:12:22in a court of honour.

1:12:23 > 1:12:27My differences with Captain Stransky are a personal matter.

1:12:27 > 1:12:28Now listen to me.

1:12:28 > 1:12:32You know that I've always shown a great deal of understanding for you,

1:12:32 > 1:12:36but I'm becoming tired of battling with your superiors.

1:12:36 > 1:12:37I never asked you to.

1:12:39 > 1:12:41Didn't ask me to?!

1:12:45 > 1:12:48You never asked me to? Are you out of your mind?

1:12:48 > 1:12:51Steiner, why are you so ungrateful?

1:12:56 > 1:13:02What do I have to be grateful for, Captain?

1:13:03 > 1:13:05Your tolerance?

1:13:06 > 1:13:09Do you think that just because you and Colonel Brandt

1:13:09 > 1:13:13are more enlightened than most officers that I hate you any less?

1:13:18 > 1:13:20I hate all officers.

1:13:22 > 1:13:24All the Stranskys, all the Triebigs,

1:13:24 > 1:13:27all the Iron Cross scavengers in the whole German army.

1:13:29 > 1:13:31Have you any idea what you're saying?

1:13:37 > 1:13:43Do you know how much I hate this uniform...

1:13:43 > 1:13:46and everything it stands for?

1:13:46 > 1:13:47God!

1:13:51 > 1:13:52Get out.

1:13:54 > 1:13:56Please, just get out.

1:14:10 > 1:14:11Yes, General.

1:14:16 > 1:14:19Yes, sir. I didn't know it was as bad as that.

1:14:19 > 1:14:21I am very sorry to hear it.

1:14:26 > 1:14:27Well?

1:14:27 > 1:14:29We're pulling back to the bridgehead at Kuban.

1:14:31 > 1:14:34No rear guard. Not even Steiner's platoon.

1:14:35 > 1:14:38We're not retreating. We're running.

1:15:06 > 1:15:10to leave behind any rear guard platoons including Steiner's.

1:15:14 > 1:15:16You understand that?
