"The Bridge" "Because if the bombings begin now..." "No I believe it, Mrs. Bernhard." "Also, it seems that the war is almost finished." "God willing!" "They won't have to call up my son." " To Sigi?" " Yes." " They won't call him up, not if he's a boy." " You think so?" "Doctor, I will finish the clothes in 5 days." "Their shirts are a lot of work." "No need to hurry." " Thank you, Dr." " Good bye, Mrs. Bernhard!" "Mrs. Borchert, was that a bomb?" "If it has been a bomb ..." "The whole house trembled!" "Do you know where it fell?" "Iin the river?" " Good-bye, good-bye, Vroslis!" "You weren't in the air-raid shelter?" " With the horse?" "Oh, yeah..." " Wait" " Thank you" " I can finish it myself." " I know." "You are a very brave woman." "With so many foreign workers, aren't you afraid?" "Sometimes, but I hide it from my son." " Good morning, Mrs. Borchert!" " Good morning, Mrs. Bernhard!" " Then I will take him more clothes." " Good, I will be at home." "Mrs. Borchert, Albert has told me..." "... that your son has enrolled as a volunteer." " And you gave your consent?" " The Borcherts has always been a military family." " Thank you for their help." " No need to thank me" " Until later." " Good-bye." "It's very important to know where the bomb has fallen." "They say that it has fallen near the bridge!" "..." "What the Party Leader have to say?" "Leaving on a trip?" "Rendoff, we have to confront the danger that... if somebody attempts to bomb the Party building   we must judge them immediately!" "Write down that well, Rendoff!" "Ema!" "Hurry!" " I won't leave everything thrown about!" " Hurry up!" " The safe-conducts passes?" " I forgot them!" "What a head!" " Mr. Forst!" " What do you want?" "If anyone cuts firewood in my land again they must first request my permission." "I have more important things to do like help win the war!" "You can be sure of that!" " What are you saying to Mrs. Borchert?" " It doesn't matter." "Get in and sit down." "We have go now." "We still have to stop by the school." "We cannot afford to lose one minute of time." "I'm so glad to be leaving here." "I have to say goodbye to my son." "In 1/2 hour the train leaves." "I have already explained everything to Walter." "Sit down!" "Walter, Walter!" "You play by yourself!" "Let's go children." "Back to class!" "Let's go, quickly!" "What are you making?" "You heard the roar?" "A bomb!" "It looks as if one fell on the school!" "Just on math class!" "They'd just reschedule the classes!" "Please go back to class!" "Calm down, boys!" "Don't pay him attention!" "It is still early." "Youth must have have a good time" "We still have left 1/2 hour of English and then the afternoon to rest!" " Franziska!" " What?" "Will you come with me to the bridge?" "The bomb may have fallen over there." "Yes, but before I have to finish my homework." " Have you heard?" " What?" " Do you know what I have found?" " No." " Seriously?" " No, I don't know." " You will be surprised." " Tell me already." " Look." " Where did you get that?" " While in the cave." " What do you have there?" "A mouse." "I'm going to let loose in class." "I bet you don't dare." "I wouldn't bet on that." " Very amusing!" " Disgusting!" "You are the biggest idiot in the school!" "According to plan, Oberbach has been evacuated." "Oberwald!" "Then they have us invaded us in the south!" "They have pushed us aside  when they should take us all if they plan to defend the town" "We, the children, are the guardians of the future." "Come on, don't pay him any attention." "Don't go anywhere you haven't been called to." "The Americans have formed a wedge." "We can stop them here." "They have left their flank exposed." "We will attack them with Panzer division." "Don't talk foolishness!" "It would break the whole line of..." "Can I request our High Command   for assistance with English class?" " Let us go, Mutz!" " Pardon, I had to organize the front!" "They really like to play war, don' they?" " Will you join the military?" " No, he wants to be a train engineer." " Are you sure about that?" " That has always been my aspiration." "Good, soon we will need more engineers." "Why do you believe that, Mr. Professor?" "I believe that peace will be signed soon." "You have something against peace, Borchert?" " Absolutely not, sir." "We start with the translation, Hager, you begin." "She has left ...has, ...ya" "(of loving me)" "She has stopped to love me..." "they won't return" "(to be)" "No, is again" "She ends up dying in the desert ... (it will be the best thing)" "Is this better?" "That you abandon me... (I don't want to continue living) (" " If.)" "...no wants to continue living." "I thank you the effort, Hager." "And also you, Franziska." "Now we will listen as our romantic ones as they translate these verses." "Read them your, Scholten, you are the most qualified one." "The dark night it covers me with it's mantle, without your love, it will be better that it disappears." "Here in the deepest forest ... is to live without your love." "Who has shown you the road of this idea?" "Love that was always my ideal, it will be my liberation." "I have seen it in your gaze ..." "I don't know how to take the helm." "You steer towards to the port ... but you stay away from the sea." "I which desire to arrive with all my forces." "Do you know that the night veils my face?" "What of the blush that covers my cheeks ... for the words that escaped my lips." "I wish to be able to renounce them," "I wish to be able to forget them, but... those words ...describe my feelings." "Tell me, will you know how to love me?" "I know well that you will affirm it" "I want to put all my trust in you." "If you have planned to swear him..." " Vorst, close the window!" "...your oath." "Speak of this, Jupiter, who makes fun of lovers." "But, I already see" "She seriously loves me, without fear..." "Would that you would conquer me so easily?" "... that will dominate you with the look ..." "Gerard, you close the window" "Continue, Scholten." "Make room, please" "I have to put my suitcase here." "Thank you." "Good, good-bye, hey..." "Do you know why don't we leave?" "Why are we waiting?" "Piece of bad-mannered...." "Good, don't cry now." "Be thankful you are able to leave." "Walter!" "Walter!" "My Son!" "This is just like you!" "What are you doing here?" "Why aren't you in school?" "You didn't even give me the chance to tell her good-bye!" "Don't think that important." "The important thing is that your mother is in a safe place." " You wanted to be rid of her" " What do you say?" "That you don't want her." "It will be better than you don't enter in my matters if you don't want that..." "I make you a decent son." "Hello, mom!" "Sigi, you have finally arrived!" "I was very concerned." "Why?" "We were in the air-raid shelter." "It interrupted our English class." "English!" "For what reason do you need English?" "Come, we will eat." "We will have bombings every day now." "You should not leave the house." "But it is very amusing!" " What do we have to eat?" " Cabbage" " Cabbage, again!" " I couldn't get anything else." "I'm going to the bridge to see what has happened." "You can go later." "Food first." "Sigi, come eat!" "What made you stop there?" "It awaits!" "I will eat later." "How are you?" " Sigi, I have written to your aunt." " Why?" "She wants you to come in a couple of weeks." "I would be a deserter." "What will my firends think?" "Why do you speak of deserting?" "You are not a soldier." "Look here!" "Bodan has eaten all that I have put out for him!" "In your aunt's house, you would not lack for anything." "You would be very comfortable." "And you?" "I would take advantage of your ration coupons to make some extra money." "I don't have anything left to wear." "And you need a pair of shoes." "I prefer you move to Bodan." "But I won't leave here." " Hello Karl!" " Hello, Miss Barbara!" "We have already eaten lunch" " Oh!" ", it has broken again." " Let me fix it." "You are very kind." "And this?" "What it is?" "Give it back." " What does it mean?" " Nothing." "It doesn't mean anything." "Really." "I find that hard to believe." "Please, forgive me." "But if there is not anything to forgive..." " Your father is waiting for you." " Yes" "Women have enrolled  in the women's section of the Party." " Hello, dad!" " Hello, son!" " Are you hungry?" " Yes!" " I have to leave soon." " Where?" "I want to see the crater that the bomb has made." "You will eat first." "If the bomb has left a crater, it will still be there after you eat." "Thank you, son." "Give me your plate." " Do you want more?" " No, thank you." " Is it good?" " Stupendous." " So, how is Barbara?" " I don't know." " She's a nice girl, isn't she?" " Yes." "Take some." "I will see what's keeping her." "So, a wash and a set?" "Normally my last appointment of the day ends at 6 o'clock." " But if you come in earlier." " I would if it didn't bother him." " Hello, Mrs. Weber" " Hello, Mr. Horber" " Mrs. Weber will come in at 6 o'clock." " I cannot come earlier." "My boss says that those in the front are not permitted to go to the hairdresser." " He said that foolishness?" " Yes." "And when did he learn this?" "It took the whole war?" " You can to come after 6 o'clock." " Thank you." "You won't have anything at that hour?" " No, Mr. Horber." " Then I will come at 6 o'clock." " See you later" " See you later, Mrs. Weber." "Good-bye." "Tell me Barbara, where are the coupons for..." "Where are coupons for soap?" " Here in the box." " Ah, yes." " Have you finished?" " Yes, dad." " When will you return?" " I want to see where the boat goes." "Good-bye Karl." "The boat!" "How interesting!" "That's not true." "He will go walking with a friend." "I find that not." " When I was 17 years old..." " You?" "Who gave you these cigarettes?" "Walter Forst." "He orders them for his father at the Party Headquarters." " Do you want one?" " No, thank you." "Not those." "Is Walter Forst a good student?" "Well, Walter is a great boy." "But in the bottom of his class, unfortunately." " Why?" " He doesn't believe in anything." "And in what do you believe?" "I believe in all that my father taught me." "Your father always said:" "It is necessary to sit properly." "Some slack in the reins." "But not too much." "Back then we had good horses!" "That's no reason for not doing it now." "Thank God that you have arrived!" "Trudel, why so excited?" "Vladimir, come!" "Coming, Boss!" " Has mail arrived for me?" " No, nothing has come." "I don't understand why they don't want me to join the Army." "I suppose that they are waiting for you to grow up a little more." "Just this afternoon, I happened to be at the Commandant's house." "To send children to war." "What immorality!" "Mom, stop him from saying those things!" "Leave it." "You've always known how she has thought." " Here, take the soap." " What they call soap." " And in the forest they continue cutting firewood." " Yes, I already know about it." "They need it for fortifications." " Our firewood?" " Yes." "I cannot deny it." "Let us hope at least they respect the firs of the north area." "But, mom what are a few firs more or less?" "If dad had lived he would not have objected." " You are right." " Forgive me." " Will you unhook?" " If, clear." "We go, Vladimir, back to work." "Let us go!" "No need to be in such a hurry." "I sent them enough wood to build a boat?" "Yes, thank you, mom." "Enought for two boats." "Do you have to make so much noise?" "Take it outside!" "Almost finished." "How you can read with that awful noise?" "I am used to it." " Any news from your house?" " They continue to have constant alarms..." "My mother tells me that they can hardly leave the shelter." "... And that she is very happy that I am here." "And me also." "It is not easy these days to have two men at home." "Would you fix the windows..." " ...from the last bombing?" " Yes, at once." "Then don't waste time." " Still no letter from dad?" " No." " Including today, that's 23 days." " Yes." "Mom, you should not worry." "You will see." "Suddenly we will get a pile of letters." "It could be because, during the offensive,..." "... they stop the mail for secrecy." " That must be it." "Have you seen it?" "It must have a handrail." "The bomb must have fallen in the water" " We just heard the explosion." " Nothing more?" "Stupid!" "They should be glad being liberated!" "And you could be also." " Where did Sigi go?" " I don't know." " Sigi!" "Sigi!" " What do you want?" "What passes in our domain?" "Anything new?" "Nothing." "Absolute tranquility." "I'm leaving." " Us too, Franziska?" " I want to stay." "We will see each other later." " Do you wnat to go for a walk?" " If you have time." " Me, I have it." "And you?" " Yes, but not a lot." "Well, let's go!" "Klaus!" "Klaus!" "What happened to you this morning in English class?" "Yesterday, you knew the lesson perfectly." "Well, I don't know." "I can find it hard to express sentiment.." ""If you don't love me, I will have to disappear..."" "When you say it, I find a joke." "I have to go to gymnastics soon." " What time is it?" " 5:30." "Don't you have a watch?" "When mom was sick, we sold it for butter." "You need it." "I give it to you." " You cannot give me your watch!" " Why not?" "Have you become crazy, Klaus?" "And if I lent it to you?" "For what reason?" "So that you will think of me." " But when you need it back, you tell me." " Agreed." "It has a luminous dial." "It is very practical when there is an air-raid." " They come, help me..." " Ready to leave?" " Yeah." "Hey, wait a minute." " What happened?" " I have a flat tire." "This is what my mother worries about." "Do you have a pump?" " I never take a air pump." " Hold the bicycle." "Tell me, Hans..." " ...that day that they bombed us" " Yes, what happened?" " Were you very afraid?" " Very much." " Were you worried?" " Undoubtedly yes." " And you dare to admit it?" " Why must I hide it?" "I don't understand it." " Have you finished?" " Yeah." "Let's see if Walter found a line for the boat?" "Look, there's Sigi!" "We have line and we have wood!" "The boat can float." " What kind!" " It will work." "The truth is that there is nobody as good as Walter when it comes to getting something." "Today nobody gives you anything." "I found this can by chance." "Everything is for the victory!" "But, what do you make?" "!" "Have you become crazy?" "Very amusing!" " Who do you think you are?" " I did it to prove it's value." "And you have to always prove it with the weakest?" " Already leave me!" " Look there!" "Here, here there is something hidden." " Pull it up." " It's a net." " It seems like a net." " They are bottles!" "Bottles?" "Of what?" "A gift from Papa Noel?" " It's to hide drinks!" " How do you know that these are drinks?" " Look, a French cognac!" "Authentic!" "And from the year 1942!" "We haven't been completely bad Papa Noel!" "You aren't taking them, are you?" "Who could have hidden them?" "Somebody had the very calm conscience..." " and wanted to make them disappear" " It will be good." "This well." "We will distribute them." "How many are they?" "I will count them." "1, 2, 3, 4..." "Take out them!" "There in front is a pipe!" "We will pick up them when it." " Great, quickly!" " Hurry!" " You, Sigi, put them in the pipe!" " Me, why?" "Because you are the smallest." "We will have to distribute them." "We should keep them together?" " We have found them." " I have found them." "In exchange for that, we will give you 2 bottles." "The benefit of all before the that of one, Mr. Party Boss." " That is what your father says." " Good, good, let's go!" " And me?" " You will stay here." "They come with me, I take you." " Look out!" " Let us through, let us through!" " We have liquors." "Want any?" " We don't want anything." "Give it to me." "Where were you, Karl?" " Did something happen to you?" " No, not at all." "Then come help us" "Hey, boys." "Found any line?" " Yes, Mr. professor." "It was very difficult, no?" " Yes, a lot." "Borchert, tell your mother,  that the sawer, has sent the latest plans." "That I thank him a lot..." "Where has it entered, Borchert?" "Horber, puts that on those charts." "That you put the plans, Karl." "Give me the screwdriver, please." "That works well." "It means adjusting the plans a little more." "You are crazy!" "Don't you believe that it is already enough?" "Measure that." "Give me, give me that." "Make it strong." "Professor, should we try the splice it?" "No, it is not good." " They are all scoundrels." " What have you said?" "That no woman has shame!" " Have you become crazy?" " Not even your Franziska!" "Don't say that again!" "...will end up in 3 weeks for that date will already be the Americans..." "In Oberwald, a member of the Hitler Youth..." "...defended the station for 2 days..." " And then what?" "It is a question, what happened later?" "Boys, boys!" "Come here!" "Look, look!" "They called me to the lines!" "I have to present myself tomorrow for the morning in the barracks!" "You enrolled?" "I visited the official." "When can we join?" "It is clear, without us they don't win the war." "Tomorrow at 7 o'clock." "Boys, the soldier Walter greet the soldier Scholten!" "This is wonderful!" "Welded Walter, half turn!" "It will be for that reason that I will fight at the front before..." "Mr. Professor will have to finish this one..." "But you said it is our boat." " We will finish it when they let us return of the front." " That's if!" "Then we will build ourselves a ship of war." "Thinking about that." "You are capable of sinking it with your stubborn self!" " Mr. Professor." " If, if." "But then, the head seems to becom the God of the War." " It takes a rubber bag." " Well." "Good-bye." " Good-bye, Sigi!" " Good-bye boys." "I already want it to be tomorrow so he can leave for the barracks." "Hurry, Mutz." "How will tell your mother?" "I plan to explaine it by telephone." "What good news!" "Because I never thought of it." "It is late." " Yes, they're waiting for us at home." " Have they left everything in order?" " Yes, ma'am." " Good bye." "What are you doing there?" "Halt immediately!" "But without hiding anything." "Let's see, give me that bottle." " Liquor, huh?" " I don't know." " Did you hide-and-seek more?" " Me, no." "And the other ones, where they have stolen from?" "Stolen?" "We found them." "Come with me." "Possessing alcohol drinks:" "three years in jail." "But ...tomorrow I have that to report for service." "So young?" "Yes, the letter is at home." "Really?" "You will take me to the police station?" "No, to your mother's house, so that you can dry off." "Sigi!" "What has happened?" "I fell in the water." "Has my citation letter arrived?" " Yes." " Where is it?" "It is that?" "That he is not able to go to war?" " He is still a child." " I am not a child!" "But how you have put on!" "You are soaked!" " Take off those clothes at once!" " It is not anything." "Do you want to get sick?" "Tomorrow you will be in the bed and sneezing." "Don't worry." "Tomorrow I will be in the barracks." "It is horrible!" "Mr. Vorlager, it is some kind of mistake." "No." "Now they take them all." "I will send you away from here." "Sit down." "I will send you to your aunt's house." "There you will be able to hide." "Do you want him to be a deserter?" "Mr. Vorlager, what does you advise me?" "I find that there is nothing to do." "And as for this bottle, I don't plan to investigate further." "From where did you get that bottle?" "It is so that you exchange it for clothes." "Also the boots." "Thank you." "This is concealment of alcohol and if I say so, they will punish him." "Punish?" "In jail until the war ends!" "Because this is... this is one true madness..!" "I cannot tell you what I think, Mrs." "I am military." "I believe that you understand why." "Mother..." "You still have the small suitcase?" "What Sigi?" "You'll leave for aunt Bali's house?" "If I present myself in the barracks, with a cardboard box..." "... they will laugh at my. .." " Yes..." "Yes." "It would not make a good impression." " So...the end has arrived." " Why?" "You have a letter." "You've been called up." "Karl, the war can't last much longer." "It will be necessary that you get several months of training and..." " ...then..." " I won't stop this!" " What are you saying?" " I saw them..." "You!" "Out!" "I don't want to see you in this house!" "Karl!" "Leave once and for all!" "I don't want to see you!" "Have you gone crazy?" "Barbara, leave us alone a moment." "What has happened to you, Karl?" "Aren't you happy that I'm leaving?" "This way you can be alone." "Karl ..." "I don't understand." "Why do you act this way?" "After all, we are two adults." "You also wanted Barbara." "You don't think that you can continue living here?" "Stop backing your bags!" "You will stay here until tomorrow." "Very well." "Come see me when you're able to speak calmly." "I would like to know what has happened to my son." "Don't get angry too much." "He is still a boy." "You are right." "I had thought that he was a real man now." "And these children they want to send off to the war?" "He can't ive in a barracks at his age!" "He should be going to a kindergarten!" "Don't excite yourself!" "To a kindergarten, that is where he should be sent!" "You'll have to have someone fix the tractor, mom." "Yes, don't worry." "I will figure it all out." " Ma'am, the foreign workers...they have left!" " How?" "!" "How will we get along now?" "We must inform the police immediately and to the Headquarters of the..." "I don't want to talk to anybody." "This is the last night that I am with my son." "But the penalties are very severe, Ma'am." "The Letmanns discharged two foreigners and after for not giving ..." "I already know all that." "I willtake care of it tomorrow." " Trudel, can you leave us alone?" " Yes." "How you will be able to get by without those people?" "Perhaps have other workers sent to me." "But ours had become a little more sociable." "Who knows where the next will come from?" "So?" "What difference does it make?" "It's all the same to me." " Every time it's harder." " We can't just give up." "And just when I have to leave!" "Jurgen, you know me." "I know how to get things done." "That is dad's pistol!" "Yes." "They sent it to me after he died." " Mom, can I have it?" " Take it with you." "Thank you, mom!" "How happy I am!" "You don't know the happiness that you have given me!" "With this my father defended himself in combat." "When I become a lieutenant, I will always carry it with me." "What time do you want to get up?" " We will have a last breakfast together?" " Without a doubt, yes." "I will wake you up at 6 o'clock." " Good night, mom." " Good night, my son." "You are remarkable!" "Priceless." "Don't take too many things." "You'll have to put everything in a sack in any way." " This is yours." " Leave it there." " Why do you want that knife?" " I plan to take it to me." "For playing Cowboys and Indians?" "The Party Boss told me that at night you shouldn't shoot." " You attack with steel." " What foolishness!" "You've read too many novels." "Hans, you have to write home." "Here are the socks." "We are entitled to some socks from the Wehrmacht." "But you need a change of socks." "During combat, soldiers don't change their socks." "You must see how my mother understands the war." "I don't want to know anything about wars." "Notice how you leave them with so many holes that they can no longer be mended." "Those are mine." "I will mend them." " Does your mother make you do it at home?" " No." "Mom, we need soap." "I'll be in the kitchen." "You'll find some dressing room soap in the table drawer." " You can share it." " Thank you." "Soap, stupendous!" "Dressing room soap!" "If I had left later, that would have disappeared." " Mrs. Mutz..." " What do you want?" "I want want to thank you for having me in your house." "But Hans ..." "It is me who is grateful." "I don't understand." "Why?" "You have been so much company." "Mostly to Albert." "You are a great boy!" "Good, if my mother heard that..." "The soap isn't in the table drawer!" "Then check the kitchen closet." "Please, Hans,take care of him." "...having you ask me in this way..." "I will take care of him." "I promise it." "And take care of yourself, I request this of you." "I am happy, tomorrow you will be all alone in class." "I don't believe that this is a time to be happy." "Yes, post office 29 here." "The mail car picks up personnel at 12:17." "Exactly." "Yes, that changed." "Klaus, we have problems again with the 12:17." "What are your parents going to do when do you come back so late?" "They will be angry." "Then, I prefer you leave." " Today I don't care if they get angry." " Seriously?" " Is this going to take long?" " When Berlin suffers an air attack... it can be very difficult to re-establish communications." " And there's no way of finding out?" " Very well, I will try." "Please, give me 314" "Otto here, what is the air raid situation?" "Ah, yes?" "Thank you." "At this time, they are attacking the area of Hanover-Ronchein." "I'll try again later." "What time do you have?" "It looks divine, with the luminous dial!" " You know, Franziska." " What?" " I wanted to ask you something." " What is it?" "But first promise me that you won't get angry." "Do you promise?" "You can ask anyting of me you want, Klaus." "This is our last night." "Can you give me back the watch?" "You will see, when I have to patrol at night, that watch will be very practical." "It's yours." "Employee 2, do I speak with Bremen?" " Can I speak now?" " Yes, yes." "Do you hear me?" "Hello, mother, are you there?" "What?" "How?" "No, I am very well." "Tomorrow, I have to enlist." "What are you doing here?" "Have you escaped?" " Here is my enlistment order." " Enlistment?" "But you can't enlist at these hours." "Can't you wait until tomorrow?" "They are afraid of being late." "Attention!" "Attention!" " Silence!" "The bombing in the Hanover-Breusbeck area has moved toward the west." "It looks like they will attack Berlin." "We have not called you up yet, boy." "We are always precise about these things." "I cannot return home." "He can stay here, Paul." "Very well, you can put you things there." " Take this blanket." " Thank you." "Your father said to switch off that black music." "It bothers him." " That bothers him for what reason?" " How would I know?" "What about some good music?" "Ale!" "Bring my dark blue suit, there is still room." "Where you have put..." "Leaving on vacation?" "Walter, you see..." "I have to leave..." "because I have received  a call from Party Headquarters." "Where did you put the cigarettes?" "!" "This house is a complete mess!" "There they are... we are going to confer on important and..." "For that you take your suit blue dark?" "Don't meddle in my affairs!" " Don't worry youself!" " Here it os." "Give it to me." "Tomorrow I enlist as a soldier, father." "Yes, I know." "But the Party Boss will be absent!" "For the town, for the Fuhrer and for the Homeland!" "You will take with you Miss Elena?" " How?" " Yes, I heard it in the tavern." " Shut your mouth!" " The whole city knows!" "You have sent my mother away  for it to be possible to have a good time with that slut." " You have gotten drunk!" " Yes, with your bottles!" "The ones that, as you say, are reserved for those volunteers that go to the front." "You should be ashamed." "When we see each other again after the war..." "You can be sure that I won't ever see you again." "And I can promise you tomorrow you will start learning a solider's discipline." "They will make you march properly with that stick." "I already knows what soldierly discipline is." "You are a bad son!" "They have that to make a man from!" "A man like you?" "You're leaving with my father?" "How dare you!" "Tell me!" "Tell me!" "Your father is very considerent." "Attention!" "Half turn!" "Quick step!" "Go!" "Can you believe that any of these brats can be turned into soliders?" "Never." "You on the right, hit the dirt!" "Lower your head unless you want to get shot." "Always land in firing position!" "Half turn!" "Go!" "Hit the dirt!" "It may be necessary to teach them to never retreat." "Who decided that?" "Who knows." "Attention!" "Half turn!" "Go!" "Hit the dirt!" "I can't take it any longer." "Forward!" "Advance!" "Hit the dirt!" "Half turn!" "Go!" "Excuse me but I have to revise these documents." "It doesn't need anything more." " Please, sit." " Thank you." "Please see to it that nobody bothers me." "How can I help you?" "The boys of my high-school class  they are in a company." " Yes." "I have come to think of them as... friends of mine." "...as well as their teacher." "I have been a soldier for 5 years." " You are not in the reserves?" " Yes, because of my heart." "Tell me, what subject do you teach them?" "English, History, German..." "I suppose that you have come to to speak with one of your pupils..." "Yes, I have come to request ..." "I cannot support that these children, with the war almost over be sacrificed." "I have been speaking with those boys, Mr. Stern about an ideal." "They think that they have come to fight  for the victory of that ideal." "They want to save the Fatherland." "They think what you have taught them, Mr. Stern." "Heroism!" "Germany!" "That victory is assured!" "Long live the Fatherland!" "For Germany make any sacrifice!" "But Mr. Frohlich, all those ideals heroism, the Fatherland, freedom are no more than fallen idols in our hands." "They're just words!" "A couple of days ago, I lost my son on the front." "They are only words!" "Forgive me." "I believe that after this war, I won't be able to have faith in my teachings." "Frohlich the real reason I have come is to request something for my students..." "What are you referring to?" "Perhaps you, as leader of the company, could possibly keep them..." "Don't continue speaking!" "I should not be listening to anything you are saying." "I have my orders and I have to follow them." "Forgive me." " Is it clean now?" " No, it is still dirty." "I will give him another review." "And what about you?" "Still vigilant about cleaning?" "I am not well." "I am not able to do any more." "Give me your rifle, I will clean it." "Now we would be in the biology class." "I would also sit down badly." "Is it necessary to clean the bayonet?" "We are cleaning all the weapons or do you believe that is a toothpick?" "Why is it not very sharp?" " The hole it leaves is much bigger." " Why is that?" "Simple, if it was as sharp as a knife it would enter and leave easily." "You stick this into someone's belly, he can say goodbye." "In the belly?" "Where else?" "You have to push it in with force then use your foot to be able to take out." "How do you know all this?" "I read it." "You're just showing off for your friends, right?" "Don't start with me!" "Attention!" "The 3rd Group cleaning weapons." "Take note of this, Forst, cleaning is necessary but it is not necessary to be an expert?" " Yes, sir." " Continue." "Good." "You are doing it quite well." "We have learned it in the course of military preparation, Sergeant." "Don't say you anything unless you're asked." "Yes, Sergeant." " Do you want to end up being an officer?" " Yes, sir.." "Your rifle." "Hold it still a moment." "Higher. let me see." "You have not learned everything in your pre-military studies." " Clean it again." " Yes, Sergeant." "Get going!" "What do you know?" "That much oil is a waste." "These are not the times to be wasting anything." "What are you doing, brat?" "I am cleaning the weapons." "Yes, I see that you are working, but are you doing about your bayonet?" "It is to stab in the belly, and use you foot when removing it." "Before doing that, there are many things to learn try not to believe everything you hear." "Continue!" "Alarm!" "All combat teams!" "Alarm!" "All combat teams!" "Alarm!" "All combat teams!" "Alarm!" "All combat teams!" "Alarm!" "All combat teams!" "Alarm!" "All combat teamd!" "Alarm!" "All campaign teams!" "Let's go!" "Quickly!" "Alarm!" "All combat teams!" "Alarm!" "All combat teams!" "Alarm!" "All combat teams!" "Can't get one good night's rest." "After yesterday's beating." "Quickly!" "Attention!" " How does that go?" "All ready?" " All ready, Sergeant." "Well, form up." "Quickly." "Fasten your belt properly." " Have you forgotten anything?" " No, Sergeant." "Do you forget anything?" "Are you sure?" "No, Sergeant." "This serves a purpose." "Use it!" "And what are you waiting for?" "Go, quick!" "Let's go, let's go boys!" "Quickly!" "There must be someone without a rifle." "Let's go boys!" "Quick!" "Quickly!" "Out!" "The situation is serious." "Zimmerman!" "A cigar." "This sector is the one that must hold out until tomorrow." "It is necessary." "You may smoke." "Thank you." "The Americans have reached this defensive line today." "Here the bees!" "Here the bees!" "I have foreseen everything." "I plan to send to this one front everything that that can hold a rifle." "The sick and the wounded will be left behind." "Zimmermann read." "Captain Freust will lead the assault force." "The battalion will advance in staggered formation." "1, 2, 4, 3. the medical and provisioning services  in the rear." "The attack is expected at dawn." "All units camped at the crossing of highways of High  at the 4 of the dawn." "Set clocks." "Battalion!" "Attention!" "Eyes right!" "For your inspection, the Grenadiers of Battalion 463." "Thank you." "At ease." "Battalion!" "At ease!" "Soldiers!" "The Americans have opened up a great breach in the whole front." "Our Battalion has to establish contact with the 336th." "That grenadier division has been surrounded." "We will attack at dawn." "I expect that the veterans of my battalion will fulfill their mission and their duty... ..as always." "Tomorrow, we will enter combat." "Each centimeter of land that we defend,  is a piece of the heart of our Fatherland." "And the one that defends that centimeter of our ground will at the last instant, will have defended Germany." "We are certain that the situation is very serious." "But we are soldiers." "We have to conquer or to die." "We will honor history,  demonstrating that we know to fight until the end." "And those that go to the fight for first time must know that the watchword of the German Army is...never go back!" "Our Battalion only knows how to fight." "To conquer or to die!" "I know that the Fatherland, in this adverse hour, can count on you." "For all, there is but one order: ..." "Foward for the Fuhrer, the People and the Fatherland!" " Order the Battalion dimissed." " Yes, Commandant." " Zimmermann!" "A cigarette." " Yes, sir." "Attention, company!" "Go to the Provisioning Centers." "Lieutenant, the agenda." "Something more, Commandant?" "Zimmermann, make sure that there is cognac this is going to be a bloody battle." "Where is my car?" "Go look for it!" "Yes, Commandant." "What do you want?" "Commandant, I have 7 recruits in my Company." "And the 7 are 16 year-old kids." "And what?" " When have they incorporated?" " This morning." "After the first shot they will drop their rifles and run all the way back to battalion." "That's how things are now." "I'm leaving." "Zimmermann!" "Zimmermann!" "What does can be done about it now?" "Don't you see that I have to leave?" " Commandant?" " What?" "There is a small bridge at the entrance to the city." "It is not good for anything." "The Americans have established a bridgehead to the north." " We will have to destroy it." " Would not it be better to defend it?" "The boys could take charge of it." "Very well, whatever you think seems best." "Yes, Commandant." " Heilmann!" "Call the Captain." " Yes!" "I'm ready." "Let's go!" " Sorz!" " My Sergeant's orders." " You are in command of the group." " Yes, sir." "We will meet below, before leaving." "And go over all the details." " Sergeant Heilmann!" " I'm coming." "Hurry up!" "Hurry up!" "You would have grace that to put us in a mess like this at the last moment." "If there are any shots I'll soil myself." "We go to the patio." "No false alarms." "No screams." " Is it clear?" " If, my Captain." "How many years in the Army?" "7 years, Captain." "And what have you learned in those 7 years?" "To hide, Captain." "That is what I expect of you Heilmann." "The bridge doesn't have importance." "It will be blown up." " I don't want useless losses, understand?" " Yes." "Thank you." "Let's go, quickly!" " Hey, one can is enough!" " What?" " Leave one of those 2 cans!" " What do you say?" "It is better than you leave them here than be buried with them." "Keep your filthy cans that they serve you as poison!" "Pick up that immediately!" "How dare you speak like that that, just because you are in safe place!" "Be quiet or you will be sorry!" "Of what will I have to be sorry?" "I will wait until the end,  to be able to retaliate for all your insults!" " I will wait." "That will be if you live, to be able to to make it." "Coward!" " Verbitsky!" " What?" " Don't interrupt the service." " Yes." " Stop this foolishness and leave." " Yes, sir." "I didn't know that this was a school for kindergarteners." "Good, hurry and pick up your supplies and ammunition inspection on the patio." "Soon!" "We will get in here." "Let's go!" "Let's go!" "Climb in!" "Climb in!" "Up!" "Aren't you coming with us?" "Heilmann, take these!" "Always something at the last moment." "Find a place to put these." "Go on!" " Sergeant Heilmann!" " Yes, Captain!" " 3rd Group, get down!" " Why are we stopping?" "The 3rd waits here." "They can continue later." "Are we at the front already?" "Don't talk such nonsense." "But..." "but this is our bridge!" "What are we doing here?" "Be happy, idiots!" "Or would you prefer we take you to a bloody mess?" "What does all this mean?" "Do they want to return us to our houses?" "The young recruits are very near to their homes." "So much better." "This way you can give simple orders." "Makes them work all the harder." "Meanwhile, you're still in charge of  the explosives men which should arrive at the opportune moment." "Don't forget that the bridge must be blown up at a precise time." "Understood, Captain." " I'm trusting you, Heimann." " Yes, captain." " A trick has been played on us!" " Are we at the front?" "You should not speak too much." "Our mission could be in danger." "They're saying that there will be bloody mess, Sergeant?" "In war, that is everywhere." "This will be over soon." "Meanwhile, we can settle here comfortably, right?" "They have left us very far of the front, Sergeant." "Further back is better, just like in the cinema." "Up front there is too much light." "Good, now take out the materials." "Put the panzerfausts in strategic places." "1st position." "Haberhager." "A machine gun for the highway." "There." "2nd position." "You, to the right." "We know this bridge well." "We know where you can best shoot from." "You have played Cowboys and Indians many times here, right?" "Yes." "There is our watchtower." "Place a position there, Sergeant?" "Of course." "Go up and don't stop watching over." "At once, Sergeant." "I told you to emplace the machine guns!" "Get going!" "I prefer to be in the first position, Sergeant." "No, stay here." "And don't gossip." "You all have a job to do." "And what can I do, Sergeant?" "You are the sentry for the bridge." "Don't move." " Yes, Sergeant." " Don't abandon your position." "In war, a sentry is the most important thing." " Yes, Sergeant." " Move out!" "What are you doing there?" "I have to climb the tree with some ammunition." "Lucky for you that we didn't bring any cannons." "You'd be taking those up there now, right?" "If they attack us, where do you want to be?" "With this fog it is impossible for use to see each other." "And if the fog lifts?" "Third group." "Here!" "Listen to me..." "When dawns comes, you would like some hot coffee, no?" " Yes, Sergeant." " Then I will go send for some." "During my absence, who will take command  Scholten!" "Understand?" " Yes, Sergeant." " Keep my rifle." " Yes, sir." "And continue working!" "A coffee-getter!" "Why do you say that?" "He is a great boss." "Don't talk nonsense!" "A good boss doesn't abandon his rifle." " Excuse me." "Can you give me a light, please?" " Sure." " Do you want a cigarette?" " Yes, thank you." "You hide!" "I'll take care of this." " What did he ask you for?" " A light." " And what did you tell him?" " Anything?" "Go on." "Let's go after him." "Halt!" "When did you get here?" " Me?" " Yes, where's your pass?" " I don't have one." " To what unit do you belong?" "Sgt. Heilmann." "Battalion 463, 3rd. company." " And what brings you here?" " I, uh..." "Your papers." "Here." "I am defending the bridge." "Nonsense." "That bridge doesn't need any defending." "We plan to blow it up." "You'd like to be somewhere else, wouldn't you?" " Do you take me for a deserter?" "Come with me to headquarters, there we have a good hiding place for you." "Friend, I have a group of boys at the bridge." "I cannot leave them alone." "Don't continue inventing stories." "Come with me." "They are children." "They've been soldiers for one day." "I have orders from the company commander to look after them." "And you're following orders by going for a walk?" "I, in fact, am at the control position." "That is what you say." "You idiot!" "Don't be so obstinate!" "Comes with me to the bridge and you will see them." "To send children to the war and to leave them alone." "They don't have any conscience." "It seems impossible..." "And please, stop pointing at me with that junk!" "High!" "Stops!" "High!" "What could that have been?" "Those shots came from the rear-guard." "You can't see anything from up there?" "No." "Nothing." "Then come down." "The war should be over by now." "Where can Heilmann be?" "I don't know." " I will go look for him." " You don't move from here." "As you order, Colonel..." "As long as Heilmann don't leave us here!" "Don't even think that." "Because he would not be the first one to desert." "You fantasize too much." "Did you hear that?" "It must have been some fish..." "We already have 10 complete belts." "We won't be able to use them all." "Listen!" "Artillery." "But very distant." " Is everyone ready?" " Yes." "Then let them come." "Walter, lend me your lantern?" "Scared of the darkness?" "We can eat something, can't we?" "Good idea." "Let's eat something." "Missing a couple of cheeses." "Heilmann has promised to bring us coffee." "Nice that he leaves us here." "Sigi, maybe the sergeant will go to your mother's house?" "She makes coffee better than anybody." "I cannot tell the Sergeant what to do." "He is my boss." "Hey, don't you want yours?" "I'll take some of yours then I will give you mine." "If my mother knew that I am so close." "This sausage has gone bad!" "Here, for Sigi." " Sigi, take it." " Eat then go back to being a sentry." "You, yes." "Because you are still growing." "Aren't you hungry, Karl?" "No, not really." "Good food but little of it." "The worst thing is that we don't have anything to drink." " Cognac?" " God willing." "Here comes the Sergeant." "How can that be the Sergeant?" "He left for the other side." "What's going on here?" "Eating." "Want a little?" "What are you waiting on?" "To get shot?" "We are following orders." "This bridge is a strategic point." "It is better than you return home, children." "Are you crazy?" "This is madness." "The town will be attacked." "I know it very well." "I found out before they evacuated us." "Return to your houses!" "You have come to tell us that we should desert our position!" "You're worthless, aren't you?" "We are at war, don't you understand?" "You have no idea what's happening." "It is very beautiful to play the heroes." "Leave...now!" "It will be better than you don't shoot." "Then leave!" "You don't realize what you're doing!" "Look boys, run like a hare!" "Look at him!" "Old coward!" "We've been made very late for the party!" "We should not have done that." "The old man may be right." "Another time!" "That's not a pacifier, understand?" "Don't you see that we are just joking?" "Look, look at that aim!" "Boys, the boss won't allow us to shoot in line..!" " Attention!" " What happened?" " A truck is coming!" " The barrier!" "Quickly!" "Damned children!" "What has happened here?" "Who is the imbecile that is blocking the road?" "Who put out those obstacles?" "Are you crazy?" "Everyone, go to work!" "We have to keep going!" "Quickly!" "Take a short cut through those idiots!" " What has it happened?" " Don't ask stupid questions, get to work!" "Remove all that!" "We're going now you asses!" "Get in!" "We will put it back again." "No." "Don't." "He said that more trucks are coming." "I believe that we should put it back." "I leave for my position." "What happened, Helmer?" "There is nothing I can do, Captain." "The motor has stalled." "We will have to abandon it." "Leave the motorcycle and let us get on a truck!" "Quickly!" "There is no time to repair it." "Look at that." "They're leaving it." "Watch out!" "Damned war!" "Take out everything of the motorcycle!" "The next one that passes us without stopping will take a good handful of bullets." "Let's go, just don't stand there!" "Leave the stretchers, they are no longer necessary!" " But, captain..." " I said leave them!" "Hurry!" "We have to escape!" "Where can we get on?" " Make room for me!" " Go on!" "I don't want to die here!" "Let us go, continue!" "We're crossing a bridge!" "Let us go chauffeur, quickly!" " What's wrong now?" " I don't know." "Why have we stopped in the middle of a bridge?" "Can you hurry a little more?" "Don't be impatient, I'm almost finished." "It is already getting light and we are still here." "Wilhelm, they look like children." "A bit of chocolate before dying." "What was he trying to tell me with that?" "Probably some kind of joke." "Be happy that there were given some chocolate." "That coward with the Iron Cross!" "Was he able to get on a truck?" "He seemed to be in a rush." "They are swines!" "They only wanted to escape!" "It should be necessary to kill them all!" "They are still very far, the Americans?" " You want to go home, don't you" " Absolutely not." " If we were all released, that would be the best solution." " Which?" " To leave for home." " Are you crazy?" "What do you mean?" "We are soldiers and we have to follow orders!" "To defend the bridge!" "Although we defend the bridge,  that won't stop us losing the war, Jergen!" "While we defend a centimeter of land,  we defend Germany!" "Who wants to throw away their weapons and go back home?" " You?" " Why would I?" " And you two?" " No." "I stay here." " And you?" " You think that will I leave you all alone?" " And you?" " I am not a coward." "And you?" "Are you a coward?" "I stay." "Good." "Then each one to their position." "I go to the first posistion with my machine gun." "Look out, airplanes!" "Hit the dirt!" "Hit the dirt!" "It is still many kilometers away." "Those are dangerous when overhead." "Take a look at this!" "Stuck like a stamp!" "Is this how you're going to finish the war?" "Have you wet your pants?" "Such a very big boy and with so much fear!" "Sigi is so valiant!" "What would your mother will say?" "It's coming back!" "Get down!" "Let's go, get up!" "There is no longer any danger!" "Sigi!" "Sigi!" "Sigi..." "Sigi..." "Sigi!" "Come here!" "They have killed Sigi!" "Come here!" "Those swines have killed him!" "Sigi is dead!" "Sigi is dead!" "What has happened?" "Those criminals..." "What do we do now?" "We have go to tell his mother." "Poor Sigi." "I will avenge you." "Come, help me." "What is that noise?" "Tanks!" "Come with me." "Set up the barrier!" "Damned tanks!" "Get back!" "We allow the tanks to pass and then we will escape." "Hide in the cave!" " Walter has hit the target!" " Very well!" "Let's go, open fire!" "Get the ammunition!" "I have to reload!" "Damnit!" "It's jammed!" "Help me!" "Walter has become crazy!" "Cover him!" "Where do you think you're going?" "Take cover!" "Those damned children will get us all killed!" "They are some real idiots!" "They believe that  by defending the bridge the Americans can't come here." "We should have already blown it!" "My God!" "What are we going to do?" "Nothing to worry about!" "Haven't you been listening?" "Just artificial fires!" "My son!" "My son is already a soldier!" "Yesterday they took him!" "He should be in the front." "Since yesterday." "He can't even use a rifle." " What going to happen to him at the front?" " Look out!" "Now is the time to be brave!" "Now!" "You lose your courage now?" "This will end soon!" "This will end soon!" "You're brave in front of the girls!" "I want to leave!" "To leave!" "I want to leave!" "To leave!" " Jurgen!" "Jurgen!" " Don't leave!" " Jurgen!" " Come!" "Get back!" "What made you come here?" "Have you lost your mind, boy?" " The Americans are upstairs." " I know." "Women and children are here." " Keep quiet!" " If you don't leave, I will scream." "Be quiet!" "Don't be a fool!" "Don't fire that!" " Here comes another!" "Get ready!" " Will you shoot him?" "Let's get out of here!" "What is he saying?" "Leave!" "Go back to kindergarten!" "Schoolboys!" "You will see now!" "Karl!" "Karl, He's not dead yet!" "Kill him, Karl!" "Shoot!" "Kill him, kill him Karl!" "Shoot!" "Kill him!" "Karl, Karl shoot!" "Karl shoot!" "Karl ...you can't get hurt." "You can't get hurt." "I only hit you because of Franziska, Karl." "Just for Franziska!" "Karl, stay with me!" "Stick, Karl!" "Socorro!" "Help!" "Help!" "Help!" "I will cross the street!" "They will kill him!" "Help..." "Help ..." "Help..." "Get down!" "I have killed him, Hans." "I have killed him, Hans!" "You've gone mad!" "I have killed him, Hans..." "They're coming, Karl..." "Come with me, Karl..." "Get down, Klaus!" "I have killed him, Hans!" "I have killed him!" "It was me!" "I have killed him!" "Still!" "You really are mad!" "Leave me!" "you Leave me!" "Leave me!" "You are crazy, Klaus!" "They have left!" " Albert!" " It's not important." "Take off you jacket." "I will bandage you." "Come, I will help you." " They will come back." " You think so?" "We have to leave." "Walter!" "Walter!" "Come." "Bring the dynamite and the fuses." "Place the explosives here." "Use a lot." "The concrete of the bridge is very tough." " What are you doing here?" " We're blowing the bridge." "We have been delayed bcause of you." "You thought that this would worth it, didn't you?" "You've done well." "Go home to mom and be received as heroes!" "It is not true!" "It is not true!" " I don't want to listen to it!" " They're some senseless ones!" "It is not true!" "It is not true!" "Be quiet, I don't want to hear it!" " Leave!" "Leave!" " Calm down, boy." "Lower that rifle." "Don't continue with this foolishness." "We're following orders." "Orders!" "Get off the bridge now!" "It was necessary." "It was necessary." "Swine!" "Murderers!" "It was necessary!" "It was!" "Leave!" "Leave!" "Get out of here!" "It was necessary!" "Hans!" "Hans!" "Answer me, Hans!" "Hans!" "Come with me, I will take you." "Hans, I will take you home." "Come..." "Come with me, Hans..." "I will take you..." "Hans!" "This happened April 27 1945." "It was so insignificant, that it was not mentioned  in any official statement."
