"Inspired by real events." "In the winter of 1940 the British and Germans fought in Norway." "The goal was to gain control over the iron ore supply from Norway." "There was fighting between German bombers and British fighter planes." " Are there any casualties?" "Strunk?" " No." " Schwartz?" " I have been hit in the elbow." "Hauk?" " Hauk!" " Hauk is dead." "Sergeant, take care of the airman's wounds." "Disinfect and bandage it." "I will go and find out which way to go." "Am I going to die?" "I'm not going to die right?" "The wound is in the elbow, airman." "In the elbow." "Ready?" "Why did he fly on?" "Everything said we have to turn back." "It's all right, it's useless to worry about it now." "Lieutenant?" "Lieutenant!" "Lieutenant!" " Schopis!" " I'm down here!" "Under the snow!" "What happened?" "I fell down there." "That's what happened." "Excellent." " Joseph, your book." " What do you have there?" "I waited for six hours at Alexanderplatz in Berlin." "Finally, Hitler came by." "It's his autograph." "Biscuits, chocolate, sausage, sauerkraut and beer." " Beer?" " You never know, Lieutenant." "Yes." "You are right." "What do we do now?" "We march to the coast, find our army and go to war again." "And Officer Hauk fell for his country." ""In time of need, where others despair, heroes rise from seemingly innocent children..."" ""...filled death defying determination and icy cool head."" ""But..."" ""It's almost always necessary to call the genius to the plane."" ""The Hammer of Fate that would pound others into the ground..."" ""...suddenly meets with steel"" "It's as if Hitler was speaking to me." "To us." "Don't you understand?" "We were alone against three enemy planes, and we survived." "And we shot one of them down." "It's Minus 20 degrees, and we're not freezing." "Turn off the light." "We need the battery." "We can't go anywhere." "Look out!" "Strunk!" " The sled is too heavy!" " Release the belt." " What?" " I say again!" "Release the belt!" "Oatmeal." "Do we have water?" "Strunk, fire up the oven." "Norwegians are thorough people." " Shit!" " What?" "Only two." "Can you hear it?" "I hate this fucking white." "I hereby declare this shithole part of the German Reich." " Stop!" " Who's there?" "Stop!" "Don't move!" "Who is there?" "English?" "Lieutenant Horst Schopis." "Sergeant Wolfgang Strunk Airman Josef Schwartz." "Shut up!" "Lieutenant shouldn't we shoot them?" "No." " Why not?" " We are not hottentots Schwarz." "Quiet!" "But they would kill us if they had the opportunity." "I'm sure of that." "Well then go." " I should shoot them?" " Yes." "Yes." "You have my permission." "Well then go." "But they would also be useful as hostages." "And they can lay a false trail in the snow, when we leave here." " So I should let them live?" " Yes." "I think that would be the best." "Away!" "Quiet!" "Is everything all right?" " Is it bad?" " No no." " The wound just needs to be cleaned." " Ooh." "Nasty wound." "Well infect" "It's nothing." "Grab it." "So our position is 62 degrees, 0 minutes and 33 seconds." " So we are..." " Four kilometres." "2 o'clock." "It's your turn." "No!" "No!" "No." " Josef..." " No!" "I dreamt the British have eaten me." "They laughed as they ate me." " They are sleeping." " I don't trust them Lieutenant." "You don't need to." "We are armed." "We bomb British ships and shoot British airplanes." " Why can't we just shoot them both?" " They are useful as hostages." "Lieutenant?" "Where's your pistol?" "In my hand." "Strunk, I cannot go on." "Get up." "Lieutenant!" "Lieutenant!" "Strunk!" "Lieutenant!" "Lieutenant, why didn't we turn around?" "I don't understand!" " All the other airplanes have..." " That's enough airman!" "But we should have turned back." "Why didn't we?" "We had an order." "I made a decision." " But..." " There's nothing more to say about it!" "Yes, do it Schwarz!" "You did that on purpose!" "You should have seen your face." "I need to go to the toilet." " Get out of the way!" " Josef!" "Give me your weapon." " Out of the way." "Out of the way!" " I said weapon down." "You're dead!" "You are not completely yourself." "Give me the weapon." "He's insulted the Fuhrer!" "Get out of the way!" "You're dead!" "Lieutenant!" "I have found something!" " Josef?" " Josef?" "We found some schnapps and we're having a drinking competition with the British!" "The one who empties the bottle first wins." "You must participate." "We must win!" "You have to drink more!" " Yes yes yes we're winning." " Don't you drink?" "Drink to the Fuhrer!" "Drink for Germany!" "Germany Germany above everything." "Above everything in the world." "When, for protection and defence, it always takes a brotherly stand together." "Did we win?" "Yes yes." "Yes yes we won." " Everything's good." " What are you doing?" "NORWEGIAN MILITARY CAMP AT STRYN" "I came across a burned out German aircraft." "Here at Heilstuguvatn." "So that's where they are." "And the crew?" "I don't know." "We must look for them tomorrow." "MY BATTLE ADOLF HITLER" "What happened?" " It's gone?" " You had gangrene." " You would have died." " It still hurts." "Look at me!" "You gave your arm for your Fuhrer!" "He would be proud of you." "Here eat some chocolate." "We have plenty." "Shall we go home now?" "Yes we're going home." "Beautiful." "Hands up!" "Search him." "It's okey." "No!" "It's just a lighter."
