"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!" "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?" "Improving" "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" "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 smoke 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" "My passage home" "We're Germans!" "Steiner!" "We're coming in!" "Demarcation!" "Demarcation!" "Steiner's coming in!" "Demarcation!" "Demarcation!" "Russians coming" "Schnurrbart!" "Move!" "Stand by, fire!" "Go, go!" "Fire!" "Demarcation!" "Steiner!" "Don't stop, fire!" "Demarc..." "No!" "Goddamnit!" "Sergeant, they don't look like prisoners!" "Stop it!" "Captain, they have German soldiers with them!" "Stop it!" "Stop it!" "Fucking idiots!" "We're German soldiers!" "Fire!" "Stop it!" "Stop it!" "Keep firing!" "Fire!" "Oh, my God!" "It's Steiner!" "You, stop!" "Go get my men, go!" "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!"
