This is Regiment 2 headquarters calling Corporal Steiner
Can you pick me up, Steiner?
Steiner, can you hear me?
Good kill!
Look, my new weapon
Not for yourself They're ammunition
Your hat Ralf
Look at that
Nothing we haven't seen before Steiner
Look what I found running around in the back. A Russian fledging
Put it down
Quickly!
We go
If you can get Meyer, tell him we need transportation from
Checkpoint 7 Right
Bring him with us
Push, push, push, push!
Come on, come on! Quickly!
Alright, stop
This damned country!
It's certainly new adventure but
I have a feeling that one of these days this land will swallow us up
Captain Stransky, sir
I'm Brandt, you're welcome Thank you, sir
This is my adjutant Captain Kiesle
Captain, how are you?
Thanks for asking, Captain I feel terrible. I've got diarrhea
How are you?
You should meet your adjutant Lieutenant Triebig
He's also a new arrival
Won't you join us in a glass of wine?
Oh, that's very kind of you, sir
Take my coat, please Yes, sir
My respect, Colonel
A 1937 Moselle in the southernmost corner of Russia?
Remarkable!
A bottle of Mosells is no more out of place in this region
than we are ourselves
Your health, gentlemen
I'm not gonna drink to my health It's not worth drinking to
To the end of the war?
Colonel, why does our presence here strike you as so absurd?
Captain, why did you ask to be released from duty in France?
I want to get the Iron Cross
We can give one of mine
No, no, I'm just joking
Actually it's exactly what my commanding officer in France
asked me, I can't stop you he said
Since I'm convinced that without you
the eastern front would collapse in a matter of days
Go ahead, you heroic horse's ass
Heroic horse's ass! His exact words!
I withdraw my toast to the end of the war
To heroic horse's asses everywhere
To the patient flash
Colonel, I would like to make something quite clear to
Captain Kiesle?
I volunteered for this campaign because I feel that men of
quality are needed here
It is time to destroy the myth of Russian invincibility
Just how do we do that?
Reinforcing morale, punishing those who're insubordinate
and rebellious
instilling a new respect for ranking officers
Low morale goes hand in hand with defeat after defeat
followed by impending defeat
Now you are new to our Russian fronts
I don't blame you for talking like a horse's ass
Of course, sir, I'm not familiar with the Russian front yet
but I firmly don't believe that the ideals of the German soldier even
The German soldier does not have any ideals
He's not fighting for the country or the rest
not for one formal government at once
not for the stinking parties
He's fighting for his life God bless him
But sir, I am a solder and as a soldier I feel it is my duty to
subordinate my own ideas to the principles of my country
right or wrong
Colonel Brandt, Lieutenant Meyer, sir
Yes?
Steiner's on his way back
What sort of the shape are they in?
The usual! Very well, I see
I want a briefing as soon as they're rested
Yes, sir
And Meyer, Captain Stransky is here
He's informed of our situation
Yes, sir
Steiner's back Of course
Who's Steiner?
To you in some ways he could be a problem
but he's a first rate soldier
So we look the other way
Anything to add to that, Kiesle?
Steiner is a myth
Men like him are our last hope
and in that sense he's truly a very dangerous man
Well, I' II see
Colonel, with your permission
Well, what do you think of our new captain?
I think he think he's on some kind of a special mission
that is to achieve spiritual domination of the battalion
thereby symbolizing the purity of the great German Weimarer itself!
Everyone going down in the feast
If they're the last of Steiner then God help us!
Captain Stransky, welcome to the second platoon
Lieutenant Meyer, captain
My, Captain, I'm to show you your quarters
brief you on our current situation
Where's my bunker?
Down there, in front of the factory, sir
The second platoon has got here first
Where are they?
They're just returning from reconnaissance, sir
Who's in charge of it? Corporal Steiner, sir
Ah! What is so special about this Corporal Steiner?
Early in the Novorssysk attack
Corporal Steiner saved Colonel Brandt's life
Ah! And mine, too
Interesting
Corporal Steiner!
I'm Captain Stransky I'm your new commander
Yes, sir
Who' s this?
Corporal Schnurrbart, sir
And the other one?
That is a Russian prisoner, sir
You know as well as I do that there are orders that
no Russian prisoners are to be taken
Get rid of him How, sir?
Well, shoot him! You shoot him, sir
I will, on this spot Then I' II deal with you
No need, I' II see that he's taken care of, sir
I want to see you in my bunker, one hour
with your full report, clear?
Of course, sir
Corporal Steiner?
I'm Lily Marlin
Come here, son
Steiner! I want to show you what our new army looks like
What' s your name, son?
Private Dietz, sir
They're sending us babies now
Hello, chap?
Private Dietz
How long have you been soldiering?
Six weeks, sir I volunteered, sir
Don't volunteer for anything around here
Kern and Kruger here and myself
Do exactly what we says and you' II be wearing your boots
up to your ass for a long time Clear?
Yes, sir!
And don't call me sir Excuse me
Go with this foul smelling one over here
Show his bunker
Kern, see if you can find a jacket or a blanket
something for the boy
They must have something over there
Yes, sir! Oh, excuse me
Stand at ease Thank you, sir
Here's the report Thank you
I regret the incident this afternoon, Corporal
but orders are orders
We have enough trouble with feeding of our own troops
without taking prisoners
Anyway, it's bad for security
I've read your preliminary report
It gives me great pleasure to inform you that
Colonel Brandt and I have agreed to recommend you for
promotion to Senior Sergeant effective at once
Your promotion doesn't seem to have made much of an impression
No, it doesn't
Alright, I read your report Anything to add to this?
Russians, sir, we should be hearing from them very soon, sir
Offensive? Yes, I should think so
Starting when? Soon
What about your platoon? Two killed, one missing
Two killed, how?
Bullets, a lot of fire, artillery heavy salable, bad luck
general misfortunes usual things, Captain
The missing man, did you look for him, Steiner?
No, sir Why not?
I felt that it would have been irresponsible of me to risk
the safety of entire platoon for the sake of one man
You felt what?
Noncommissioned officer does not permit a missing men
in such a case, in any case!
I' II try to do better next time, sir
I'd like to have that in writing If you wish
You know, Corporal, Sergeant
I have a feeling you somewhat overestimate your importance
At the moment, I am free of any such illusions, sir
Well, may I suggest you that you do not underestimate
your present company?
Everything you are and may become is dependent
upon this present company
No, I would not forget that, sir
but may I add man is generally what he feels himself to be
Of course, of course You're dismissed
I should be back soon, sir
Is that a salute?
Yes, sir
Triebig! Yes, sir
You must be careful, Steiner
He's taken strong dislike to you
I' II survive
You're not dealing with just another Nazi party diver
This one is pure impression of military aristocracy enriched
Hey, why are you bringing in the apples?
To eat it, you idiot!
You know the ruling classes
Come now, lieutenant What's left to rule?
Don't be naive
Stransky will survive this war one way or another
and he' II still have his land his wealth
and his status
But it will be very dangerous in defeat
Be careful, Captain
He doesn't live in the same world we live in
I know, he's living in my world now
Yeah, sure
Lieutenant! Yeah
Please, would you come inside for a minute?
Something I'd like to show you
Kern, don't just stand there drinking, help us!
Thank you, I didn't realize
You forget we're in reconnaissance platoon?
Happy birthday, Lieutenant Meyer
Yes! Happy birthday!
Explain that to Captain's orderly
so that he doesn' t make any mistakes, will you?
Be careful with your uniform
Russian vodka, German wine chickens
Oh, Maag, I don't know how I stayed alive so long
He's the best scavenger in the entire regiment
Cheers to all of you Cheers! Cheers!
Here's to the last Russian bullet Yeah!
Here's to survival
Yeah, yeah
Here's to your wife, girlfriend women!
Yeah! Women!
Here's to the women of Follybassier
To the girls of Rivavant! Oh la la!
Gently, gently
Come on, fill it up Here's to Dietz's virginity
May your cause ride with him as a new assistant to Triebig
All you have to do is just play noble
Oh, yeah, here comes the cake
Oh, cake!
Captain Stransky should see this
Captain who?
Here's to the cake Cake!
Stop it! Stop it!
What's everyone doing here?
What do you think we're doing here?
Playing birthday games right in the middle of all that shit?
Come on... You shut up! I'm talking!
You want a party? Okay, fine! Catch on!
Take it easy
Okay, there's a bullet for you to fire up your assholes!
Come on!
You don't touch me You stink like a shit!
Come on Let's don't spoil everything
He's still gonna have his birthday
Happy birthday, Lieutenant
Have a good party
I' II have some more vodka Yeah, fill it up
Here's some vodka for everybody
I'm sorry It's alright
Alright, now Lieutenant Meyer is to have a meeting with
our lustrous new commander Captain Stransky
whom we' II all meet shortly
This is not a funeral, gentlemen This is a birthday party
Now let's drink! We' II have a song, what the hell!
Thank you, sir
Where were you stationed before you joined the battalion?
In the south of France, Biarritz
I know it well, sit down, sit down tell me about it
Such a beautiful country
And being transferred must have come hard?
I applied for it as you did, sir
As I did? That's interesting
And your orderly?
We served together In the south of France?
Ah, those French girls!
Comme elle sont delicieuses Those French girls, Triebig!
I did not have much time to think about those French girls
Really? And you Keppler? Did you enjoy the French girls?
On occasion
Sur le pont d'Avignon on y danse, on y danse
Let me ask you a question, Triebig you like soldiering?
Certainly, I like it, sir but it's strange at times
It is indeed a very different world
A world of danger and a world of men
a world without women hm, Keppler?
Yes A world without women
Thank you
It's an old theory of mine
Men can get along without women easily, easily I tell you
A man's true destiny is not just breeding children
child birth, and chocolate
but to be free, to rule and fight, in other words
to lead a man's existence women are no more than nuisance
sometimes, sometimes necessary
I'm a solder, sir. If I have to I can do without women
Really?
And you Keppler? Can you do without women?
I do as I am ordered, sir
I like that! I like that answer
I do as I am ordered I like that
What is your first name?
Josef Josef, Josef
If it will help you I' II put your thoughts into the right words
You prefer a society of men to that of women
at any and all situations
I don't understand, Captain
Come on, Triebig
You don't have to put up a front with me
With me of all people
What I said was right, wasn't it?
You prefer a society of men to that of women
Come on, we're all soldiers There's no harm in it
Say yes, for heaven's sake man, say yes!
Possibly
You said yes, you said yes!
He said yes, didn't he, Keppler? He said yes!
You said yes, didn't he, Keppler?
He said yes, didn't he, Keppler?
Yes
Louder! Didn't he, Keppler? Louder! Say yes, loud!
Yes!
Louder! Yes!
I can assure you of this
If you get caught you' II be hanged slowly
both of you!
Together! Now get out of here
Ammunition supply's running low
Sector 3 needs more 9 millimeter
Service platoon not secure Their own tech in short
Has 47 O casualties
By the way we didn't get the mail
It's a big one Thank you
Oh, I see
Get your hands off my lice!
Melt! Oh, not again!
Melt before body, that's the rule
Sector 7, no activity
Get him outside
Kern, get yourself outside Come on, quick
No, no, no, the Russians might think it's mustard gas
The Geneva Convention forbids the use of mustard gas
Goddamnit, Kern!
What type of exhaust pipe do you have and
when was it broken?
I'm well organized and without problems
Aren't you feeling guilty, Kruger? Is that your natural smell?
Yes, yes I stay dirty for a reason
If you've been in the field as long as I have been
you'd know why Explain
I learned after Stalingrad
Natural body oils combined with dirt
can keep you waterproof
Waterproof? Sure
How is it? Quiet
Too quiet Yes
Wait till the first light
What are we doing here?
We're spreading the German culture
throughout a desperate world
Didn't someone say war is the highest expression in life
of a truly cultured people?
Yes, a foolish wise man named Friedrich von Bernhardi
Right! Yeah!
And Clausewitz said?
Clausewitz? Uh, Clausewitz said
war is a continuation of state policy
By other means!
Yes, by other means
Do you ever think about your children?
Sure, always
Where are they?
I don't know
Take off one uniform, there's always another underneath
Go!
It's all an accident an accident of hands
mine, others- all without mind
one extreme to another
and neither works
The will ever!
We stand in the middle in no man's land
Go home, go home!
Steiner!
Yes, sir! Yes, sir?
This is a prox, Stransky
A prox, sir? It's an-
No, sir! It's an attack the forest!
Sir, counter fight is needed at once
We'd rather run, pull him out!
I need help!
Stay calm, Stransky You're not alone
What do you mean I'm not alone, sir?
I am alone! I am alone!
Steiner is gone Triebig is gone
I don't know where Lieutenant Meyer is
I don't know!
Dead? Is he dead? Go to the battalion
sector and find them
And stand by and prepare a counterattack as quickly as possible
Yes, sir! I will be counterattacking, sir!
Stay in your position!
Damn it!
Get your all ammunition!
Where's Meyer? On the wall, sir!
Get the ammunition!
Pull back! Get down, you fool!
You, get over there!
Get back to your post!
Get that phone fixed Yes, sir
Put it back
Keep your positions! Everybody keep firing!
Fire, Whitman, fire!
I need a headcover! Fire!
We're winning We're winning!
Fire!
Where' s my headcover? Where are my tanks?
Phone is ringing!
Meyer!
Captain Stransky
Where's your counterattack?
We are attacking! We are defending!
We're counterattacking!
I'm wounded, sir Can I continue?
I know what to do, sir Don't worry
But I need ammunition!
Get Meyer!
Hurry up! We must cover Steiner!
Look at me
Follow the light with your eyes
Very good Now look at me again
Sergeant!
Alright
Did you sleep well?
Reasonably
Smell?
Nothing Any sense of taste?
Lmproving
Quite usual in concussion
You've been like this for a week
The smell will turn soon
Your records indicate multiple wounds over the last few years
Any residual effects?
Headaches, blood vision
I can't urinate out of my left ear any longer
but otherwise I feel quite well
The doctors recommended you stay with us
for another three weeks
until they've completed your tests
then recommend home leave
Home
Schnurrbart? Schnurrbart?
Attention! General Fontessel!
Hello, soldier? How are you? Tell me how you feel
This man has severe concussion, sir
He's been army decorated
I want sixty five percent of these men returned to active duty
in three days
Ah, food! Delicious!
Take the pig, the meat and wine into the private dining room
Come! Eat! Eat, eat, everybody! Everybody!
Vegetables are good for you
They're with the compliments of the high commander
Everybody looks like someone else around here
Did I have a bad spell?
Yeah, you were very violent
Violent?
Violence should stop It must stop
Say violence must stop?
Let's have a celebration Bring out some wine!
Oh, no, I'm on duty
Have a drink No, I couldn't
They' II throw me out
Do you dance?
Hold my bottle I' II hold your waist
and we dance
Listen, this is ridiculous
It's nice, very nice
Schnurrbart!
What the hell are you doing here? Lost?
No such luck, bro
I got it in the leg same time you got it in the head
Schnurrbart!
My vacation's over
It's back to the bad side of old mother Russia
They took us all from our hospital
It looks like we're picking up some of your boys as well
You want to come along or are you doing alright?
Attention, men! Prepare to leave
Oatbrook! Hold this truck
What the hell are you talking about?
That's an order, goddamnit!
Rolf, what is it? What?
What's the matter?
I'm going back
I thought you were going back home
I have no home
My home, our home
Do you love the war zone?
Is that... ls that what's wrong with you, Steiner?
Are you afraid of what you' II be without it?
Long live Germany
I said hold it! I said hold it, right?
Steiner, I didn't mean it you're crazy!
Schnurrbart
Rolf!
Son of a bitch!
Schnurrbart! Hello, Kern!
Hartwick Hello, Sergeant
Hartwick Schnurrbart, how are you?
Caught you with your pants down again, huh?
Anselm
Welcome back, Sergeant
Kruger!
You're back too soon I don't want to talk to you
Leave me alone
Missed you, missed you, yeah!
My, my, my! What is this?
That's Zoll That's a party member
It's a compliment of Captain Stransky
He has special actions quote
You still a party member Holibach?
Well, I' II dance with a party member if I can find one
Hey, silence! Party's convinced we're winning the war
Yeah, sure, we're winning the war
I hope you've memorized our serial numbers
our mothers' maiden names correctly
I wouldn't want them to come and rescue a wrong man, a woman or a child
I don't care what you believe what you've done
Your duties to us, the platoon and me
Fulfill those responsibilities or you' II have our banners
up your ass, clear?
Yes, sir
I'm playing nursemaid to Cersquot
Anyone volunteers? Dinner, Steiner!
Not me No time
Go along with Steiner
Thanks a lot
What have we here a hawk and a hare?
I' II take it
Come on, have a drink
That's your bottle, cheers!
Some papers to sign, Captain
I' II sign them later
Stop that! Be careful with my JJ
Yes, sir
Have her treated correctly
Sergeant Steiner reporting as ordered, sir
Come in
Thank you, that will be all gentlemen
Welcome back, Sergeant Steiner Thank you, sir
Please sit down Make yourself comfortable
Now that you're back and I'm glad you're back
I think we should make a fresh start together
but the main point is the regiment feels or believes that
I deserve the Iron Cross now
And they've asked me to produce two witnesses to the fact that
I led the counterattack and threw the Russians out of their positions
I have named Lieutenant Triebig and you
especially you
Lieutenant Triebig has already submitted signature
You'd like to believe this is a private conversation
That would occur to you wouldn't it?
Alright, have some wine a 37 Moselle
I' II have some
Thank you, Sergeant
But still remember that in civilian as well as in military life
the distinction is made between people
Is that what you meant when you said all you are
and may become is dependent upon this present company?
Well, the difference is a matter of ethical
and intellectual superiority which is caused whether
you like it or not by blood and by class difference
If I remember correctly Kant was a son of a saddle maker
and Schubert's father was a poor schoolmaster
Perhaps talent, sensitivity and character are no longer
privileges of the so called upper class
But Kant and Schubert were exceptions
We' re talking about general concepts
not individuals But I am one and so are you
Didn't Afior say that all class distinction would be abolished?
I'm an officer of the Weimarer I've never been a party member
I'm a Prussian aristocrat and
I don't want to be put into the same category!
So we agree for once
Good!
But it is still Afior
Fortunately
It's a different question, Sergeant That's not up to us to judge
Why do you want it so badly?
It's just a piece of worthless metal, look!
It's not worthless to me
Why is it so important to you?
Tell me, Captain, why?
Sergeant, if I go back without the Iron Cross
I couldn't face my family
Personally, sir, I don't feel you deserve the Iron Cross
Where are you going?
I'm going to Point 124 Corporal Kruger's over there
Are you crazy? No one could survive this kind of assault
Get out of my way! Tell them I'm going out
Steiner!
You get me some stretcher, damnit!
Steiner! Steiner!
The others?
Dead, all dead
God, listen to me We're going to leave now
You're gonna get up and follow me out of here
Alright?
The others
The others sat there I by myself
I don't ever want to be alone again
You won't, you won't
Come on Yeah
Why the hell wasn't I told that Steiner has returned
to the battalion?
That was not priority, sir
There were more important things to do
I want him here at once
A lot of predicament of which I'm sure you don't want to be
reminded, clear, Stransky?
Quite clear, sir
Now we shall see
I don't like the tone of his voice
I'm fed up with the whole situation
Doesn't matter any more
I know from reliable sources that headquarters had
already written off to burn bridgehead
and soon the whole Crimea will be a cul de sac
Report to Brandt
You have the choice, Triebig between Biarritz and Siberia
What would you choose?
Steiner Colonel
Sit down please, Sergeant
How was hospital?
Oh, interesting I recommend it
Did Captain Stransky lead the counterattack
the day Lieutenant Meyer was killed?
Lieutenant Meyer led the attack
Captain Stransky was nowhere in sight
You're sure of that?
I saw Lieutenant Meyer die
Fetch Triebig
Stay, I want you to listen
Sir?
You signed your Captain's report
Were you present when Captain Stransky led the counterattack?
I accompanied Captain Stransky to the field
and saw him calling several men around him
Then he sent me back to the command post
Then how do you know Captain Stransky led the counterattack?
You've signed a statement to that effect, Triebig
I wasn't there I learned of it from wounded men who were returning
Can you give me the name of one of these wounded men?
They weren't staff men just company men
I knew them only by sight
Beside the slope and the puddle have been on fire, sir
I want you to know, Triebig
that I have had your statement checked
Captain Kiesle will inform you of the results of our investigation
Our investigation so far has disclosed
the men in second company who took part in action
declared unanimously the action was led by Lieutenant Meyer
None of them saw Captain Stransky or Lieutenant Triebig
To my mind there is nothing more contemptible than
stealing the laurels which properly belong to the man
who was killed in action
If Sergeant Steiner stands by his last testimony
I should be compelled to institute disciplinary proceedings
against the Captain and you
Yes, sir
Do you stand by your statement that Captain Stransky was
not with the company?
Would it be possible for me to give my answer in three or four days sir?
Did you see Stransky or not?
You may go, Triebig You're no longer needed
What in God's name has got into you, this is your chance!
You are the only person who stands between Stransky
and his Iron Cross
and you could be called as a primary witness against him
in the court of honor
My differences with Captain Stransky are a personal matter
Now listen to me
You know I've always shown a great deal of understanding for you
but I'm becoming tired of battling with your superiors
I never asked you to
Didn't ask me to?
You never asked me to? Are you out of your mind?
Steiner, why are you so ungrateful?
What do I have to be grateful for, Captain?
Your tolerance?
Don't think that just because you and Colonel Brandt are
more enlightened than most officers that I hate you any less
I hate all officers, all the Stranskys, all the Triebigs
all the Iron Cross scavengers in the whole German army
Have you any idea what you're saying?
Do you know how much I hate this uniform
and everything it stands for? God!
Get out! Please just get out!
Regimental headquarters
Ammunition headquarters, sir General Von Canik talking
Colonel Brandt
Yes, General
Yes, it was as bad as that I'm very sorry to hear
Well?
We're heading back to the bridgehead in Kuman
No rear guard, not even the second platoon
We' re not retreating We're running
Captain Stransky Yes, Captain Kiesle
I was just about to leave
Don't leave just yet Now listen to me
Regiment feels that it is unwise and also suicidal
to leave behind any rear guard platoons including Steiner's
I want them to join the evacuation immediately
You understand that?
Yes, Captain
Triebig, all real guard platoons to join the evacuation immediately
Shall I notify Steiner's platoon?
Yes
Give me Steiner
Calling Regiment
Regimental headquarters come in, please!
Regimental headquarters! Come in, please!
Regimental headquarters come in, please!
B company, can you hear me?
Anybody come in, please!
Tanks!
Can you hear me? Kruger!
All the lines are out
Move! Down the tunnel! Out!
Fire!
Zoll, grab some mines Pick them up, quick!
On the tracks Put them on the tracks
Hurry, hurry!
Get into the factory! Over to the factory!
Move, damnit!
Hurry, coming in from both sides
Kern, up above! Kruger, up on the catwalk!
Down the tunnel!
Anselm, dynamite! It's coming in!
Shit! Jesus Christ!
Steiner, let's go!
It's clear
Come on, move!
Captain Pukher reporting, sir Ah, yes, Captain
You have your orders?
Yes, and a letter for you to be delivered personally
Thank you
You can guess what this is, can't you?
A transfer Yes, exactly
Our Stransky is to report to Paris within a week
Captain Pukher, my orderly will arrange for your billeting
But don't unpack everything We might be going away
Captain
Stransky, without Steiner to contradict him
he will get his Iron Cross and stroll all around Paris
Arrogant and bloody bastard
Stransky in Paris and Steiner God knows where he' II be
Jesus! What, 22, 23 kilometers between here and Annaville
Marshland, wilderness
If the same trap's behind the Russian lines
they get you, get you
Here take their gun
Let's try the road
We' II never get over this, this road
Don't you worry, kid
We' II get out of this in time for the next one
Steiner! Steiner! It's clear now
Come, move it, move it!
Anselm, move your ass!
The cattle cars or whatever they're sending are due to
arrive at 12OO hours
provided of course the Russians have not blown up the track
Any questions? No, sir
Dismissed
Carry on probing and aggressive action all along the front
They're not listening
You, too
I beg your pardon?
Who needs railroad track?
When we break out of here we' II push on to Pitzkrieg
Stalingrad and up to the outskirts of Moscow
What will we do when we lose the war?
Prepare for the next one
Do you think he' II get through?
Steiner? I don't see how he can
Anselm, stay solid
What is it? Bridge
Just bring what you need to kill with
It's a game Game?
It's a kid's game
it's bad luck to step on sunlight
I thought perhaps if I miss the beams
we would all come through this alright
Come on
Come on, come on Over there, get in the corner
Jesus Christ!
Get these weapons out of here!
Kruger, upstairs! Schnurrbart, perimeter
Check the railings!
Come here, in the corner In the corner!
Come on, you hear me? Don't hide from me
Check the radio
Get the party out of here Anselm!
Stay there!
Keep your hands off
Anselm, stop it, damnit!
Leave me, Steiner
Stop, damnit!
Stop your fucking silly game! This isn't a brothel!
This is a war!
Rolf, look what I found
Everything clear out here
What is this?
It shows their basic positions in front of the land
Good, we' II have way home
Thank the ladies and tell them to take their clothes off
And what shall we do with the bodies?
Who's gonna keep them warm?
Tell them we want their tunics and trousers
We're going to do it anyway Do it!
Let me eat one
Major, major! She's dead
Dietz, Zoll! Watch them Yeah
The rest of you, put these uniforms on
Come on, go over there with the rest of them
Pick up your weapons Up, up, out!
Get that uniform and take it inside
Hey, go away!
Come on, pick it up! You want to play? Alright
That's my little girl That's good, come on!
I' II give you something to play with
I'm gonna be busy for a while
Come on
How would you like to-
That' nice
Steiner!
Oh, Dietz
God!
The girl...
Do you believe in God, Sergeant?
I believe God is a sadist but probably doesn't
even know it
Zoll!
Stupid man!
Steiner! God!
Get the women outside We're leaving
Come on, go!
All of you get inside Inside!
Now we're even
And there's one other thing you could do for me
There's a man here I would like to get out quickly
I spoke to you about him before
If there is a chance he could leave with your headquarter staff
I' II be most grateful Thank you, sir
There really is nothing but Chaos
That will no longer concern you
You're to report at once to general headquarters
You're being evacuated
I can't leave the command, sir
Well, I'm still in a condition to issue orders
Those orders will be obeyed
I'm prepared to disobey that order, sir
You've been around to stand it too long
Come, listen to me for a moment
For many of us Germans the exterminator is
long overdue and I have decided that you, I will save
But I'm part of all this There are better people than me
Most of them are being killed out there
There's nothing wrong with you except you snore too much
You're a brave man braver than you think you are
One of these days there will be a need for brave civilians
Have you thought of that?
In the new Germany if such a thing is allowed to exist
there will be a need for builders, for thinkers-
Of course we can't see now what your job is to be
I' II make this my final order to you
You' II search out and contact all of these
better people you call them?
And together you' II take on the responsibilities of those
of the survivors
Now you must leave
Please leave
Fone, take Captain Kiesle to the railroad
Go!
Steiner, how do we get through the Russian trenches?
Basically a matter of time
They' II be building them for a thousand years
If not here, somewhere else
In Germany
Germany
Do you think they' II ever forgive us for what we've done?
Or forget us?
We' II make it, we' II make it with your help
To tell you the truth I'm beginning to enjoy it
What do you want?
Digging some mudholes some place
waiting for the top of your head to be blown off?
At least here we're free
Steiner, Steiner
Sing it!
Go! Go!
Here, Sergeant Here's your weapon
All we have to do is to hope the Russians don't get us
Or the landmines
Somebody ought to lead us to go
Anselm Yes
Try to read somebody with the radio
Tell them we're coming in at dawn
With a password What's password... uh...
Reconnaissance patrol with several Russian prisoners
and no shooting
Password, Kruger Goddamnit!
Demarcation
Why not? Demarcation
Demarcation Sign it Steiner
Captain, special password Demarcation, signed Steiner
He's coming in with prisoners?
Looks like a trap
My thought exactly, sir
They have been captured
Roth! Sir?
Did you recognized the voice?
No, sir, it was in code
Good code, demarcation
Triebig, if in the dark you saw a half dozen men
some with the Russian uniforms advancing on you
could anyone blame you if you opened fire?
No
Will you check the situation for me
and take care of it?
You do like Biarritz, don't you?
You do like the south of France, don't you?
Come on
Oh, shit!
Kern Yeah
You and I share the weapon
The rest of you make sure you have it clearly placed
behind your heads
I' II go first
No, goddamnit, Schnurrbart
It might be some asshole who didn't know
what the message is
No, I go
Rolf!
You've been responsible for all of us
This time I'm responsible for you
Take us in
Sir, look here
Welcome, Sergeant Steiner

Fire!
Oh, my God! It's Steiner!
You, stop!

Bloody lousy swines! Swines!
It's all Stransky's orders! I had no part in it
We're sorry
He's dead
I had no part in it!
Private Dietz, sir
You're on your own
I don't find a need of another officer
another platoon
This is it, I don't care It doesn't matter any more
Where are you going?
To pay my debts
You are our platoon leader! This thing isn't over yet
You're the new platoon leader
And Anselm is your platoon
Should make you happy you old pirate
Steiner! Steiner!
Steiner!
Yes, Colonel Brandt?
Situation is worsening here You're needed
My orders are here
And they are here, sir
In fact the replacement is running with the company
You may leave, Stransky
Your Triebig is dead
It doesn't work, Captain I live, and you're dead
Lieutenant Triebig has not been under my command for several hours
He has been transferred
Aristocratic heir of Prussian take shit!
Leaving without your Iron Cross, Captain?
Just a matter of time
Where's the rest of your platoon?
I said where's the rest of your platoon, Sergeant Steiner!
You are, Captain Stransky
You are the rest of my platoon
You know how to use it?
Yes, of course
Steiner, I accept
I' II show you how a Prussian officer can fight
And I' II show you where the Iron Crosses grow
Now!
Come on, man! Don't stand there!
Stoten!
Ersine, with me!
Captain!
Stransky, goddamnit! Get off your ass!
How do I reload?
How do I reload? Steiner!
