"Tell me, how often in the history of Christianity did they destroy the heterodox people in the name of the welfare of the rest of the flock?" "They destroyed heretics." "All right." "But fighting heresy, did the church permit violence?" "It did." "Violence against heresy had been done throughout 8 centuries." "We came to power in 1933." "What do you expect from us?" "In those 11 years, we've done away with unemployment, we gave food to the Germans." "Yes, while doing violence to the heterodox." "If you're such a convinced opponent... perhaps you should've leaned more on the material, instead of spiritual?" "Excuse me, I don't understand you." "Why didn't you try to organize an anti-government group among your parishioners?" "You see, if I began to use your own methods against you, I would have unwittingly become someone like you." "So if a man comes to you..." "What man?" "Some young man from your parish." "And he'll say, "Father, I do not agree with the regime and I want to fight it."" "I won't stand in his way." "All right, but he'll say he wants to kill the Gauleiter." "And the Gauleiter has 3 children, girls." "2-year-old, 5-year-old and 9-year-old." "And a paraplegic wife." "What would you do?" "I don't know." "And if I question you about that man, what would you say?" "To you I will say nothing." "Good work, Stirlitz." "Frankly, I didn't expect it." "I didn't think he'd agree so quickly."

"No." "I have no excuses." "And there can be no excuses." "I'm a soldier, war is war." "I don't expect any allowances made for me." "This failure should be analyzed, not to be repeated again." "Obergruppenfuhrer, I know my guilt is immense." "But I would like you to hear what Standartenfuhrer Stirlitz has to say." "He was fully informed about the operation and he can confirm that everything had been prepared with utmost thoroughness and care." "What does Stirlitz has to do with the operation?" "He's from Schellenberg's intelligence, he dealt with different matters in Cracow." "Yes, I know." "He was on the Runge case, concerning the missing V-2 missile." "But I considered it my duty to inform him of the details of our operation, believing that on his return he will report to the Reichsfuhrer or to you how we prepared the operation." "I was waiting for further instructions from you, but never received them." "Was Stirlitz among the persons to be familiarized with this operation?" "I don't know that." "Please check if Stirlitz from the 6th Dept." "Was included in the list of the persons cleared for the operation on the destruction of Cracow." "Obergruppenfuhrer, I am... the only one to blame, and I would be greatly distressed if you punished Stirlitz." "I deeply respect him as a devoted fighter." "I can redeem my guilt only with blood on the battlefield." "And who will fight the enemy here?" "I?" "Alone?" "It's too easy to die for the Fatherland and our Fuhrer at the frontline." "It is much more difficult to work here, under bombardment, wiping filth out." "Just bravery isn't enough here, it takes brains, Kruger, a lot of brains." "Find out, please, had Stirlitz seen any of the superior officers on his return from Cracow." "If he had, who was it." "And what exactly was the subject of the conversation." "I've already made inquiries." "He hasn't reported to anyone." "On his arrival, Stirlitz immediately got down to selecting persons suitable for infiltrating the Southern group." "Thank you." "You may go." "Take a rest today." "And tomorrow write in detail everything about the operation." "Then we'll think where to send you for work." "We have few people and a lot of work, a great deal of work, Kruger." "Hail!" "Hail!" "Bring me all Stirlitz's files for the last year or two." "But make sure that Schellenberg doesn't know about it, we don't want any panic." "Stirlitz is a valuable operative and a brave man, we shouldn't cast a shadow of suspicion on him." "And prepare an order on Kruger." "We'll send him to work as Deputy Chief of the Prague Gestapo." "Call for the car." "In 20 minutes I have to be at the crematorium." "Yes, sir."

"The armies of the 1st Belarusian Front under command of Marshal Zhukov, having broken the enemy defenses, came out to the Oder, the last water barrier on their way to the capital of Hitler's Germany." "The storming of the nazi stronghold has begun." "Stirlitz arrived home when dusk began to descend." "He loved that time of the year." "There was almost no snow." "In the morning the tall pine-tree tops were lit by the sun, and it felt like summer already." "Here, in Babelsberg, very close to Potsdam, he lived alone in his cottage." "By some strange coincidence, Babelsberg has remained but not touched by bombardment." "Only the cannonade was heard here, which was more audible with each day." "There were few people left here, just like in Berlin." "People went to the mountain villages, fleeing from the air raids." " Good evening, Mister Stirlitz." " Good evening." "You can go home for tonight." "Thank you." "Here's your mail." "I'll prepare your supper and leave." "All right." " What time is it?" " About seven, Mister Stirlitz." " And more exactly?" " Quarter to seven." "All right." ""Lucky girl, she can afford those 'about seven"', " "Stirlitz thought to himself."

"You must find out if those attempts at contact are:" "1. misinformation, 2. personal initiative of high-ranking SD and SS officers," "3. execution of the Center's order." "In case these SD and SS officers were acting on orders from Berlin, it is necessary to find out who sent them on that mission." "Who of the Reich's leaders in particular is seeking contacts with the West." "Alex." "Alex was the chief of Soviet intelligence."

"The detection of any fascist attempts at coming to terms with the most aggressive imperialist groups in the West" "should be regarded by you as number one priority." "I understand, Comrade Stalin." "Obviously, you must realize that... the main figures of those possible separate negotiations" "would most likely be Hitler's closest associates" "who enjoy authority both among the party apparatus and the people they've deceived." "It's them, his closest associates, who are to become the target of your intent observation." "No doubt that the closest associates of the tyrant, being on the brink of downfall," "will betray him to save their lives." "Stirlitz could not and did not know that." "But as an experienced intelligence agent, he knew only too well that such a directive of the Center was based on serious information," "that the mission he had been today entrusted with was probably entrusted to several agents, not only to him."

" He plays the organ." " The organ?" " He plays the organ." " He plays the organ?" "!" " Is there a cellar there?" " I think there is." "Klaus, do you know where the kirk is?" " I got it." " Let's go, it's time." "Help me." "To the cellar, to the cellar..." "To the cellar, to the cellar." "To Berlin." "And hurry up." "Your life line is long, easily traced, and promises a full prosperity." " Yes..." " Well?" "A full prosperity." "We can hope that everything will be even better and brighter in the future." "Good evening." "Would you like a beer?" "No, thank you." "Please bring me cognac and matches." "Good evening, Mister Bolzen." "Good evening, Frau Zaurich." "Will you join me?" "Thank you." "I have an idea, Mister Bolzen." "All right." "If someone asks for me, I went to play chess." "Gabi, if someone calls, I'm playing chess." "Mister Bolzen, I think I'm going to win today." "Last time you thought so too." "Last time I was obviously not at my best." "Even Gabi said so." "Where's she?" "I haven't seen her for quite some time." "Oh, she's here!" "She's as usual sitting as quietly as a mouse in her corner, typing those wonderful articles of hers." "It's so cold in our house." "This is my lorgnette." "I think it's always cold there now, in winter and in summer alike." "These are my beads, they're very old." "They belonged to my mother." "Yes." "The room Frau Nabel occupies is particularly cold." "It's a corner room." "It used to be my elder son's room." "Frau Nabel, the boss wants the menu to be retyped." "All right, Paul, I'll do it." "The boss wants it right away." "All right, I'll do it right away." "Did Frau Nabel know your son?" "No, not at all." "Gabi never met him." "I made my move." "I got to know her... well, when... her house was bombed down." "Paul!" " Yes, sir?" " More beer." "Right away." "What is this?" "Checkmate?" "No, that's no good." "You didn't make that move, and I didn't make mine." "Put it back, mine is here and yours is there." "That was no good." "I'll play the Kara-Kann defense." "Only don't interfere." " What will you play?" " The Kara-Kann defense." "Well, go ahead." "Well, it's quite possible." "Oh, so you move here..." "Well, well, well..." "No way." "Information to be pondered over." "Göring." "Veteran of the Hitler Party, Reich Marshal, the Fuhrer's successor." "Married for the second time, has two children." "High-school education." ""Kill, kill and kill." "Don't think of the consequences." "You must know:" "I'll answer for all of you."" "Hermann Göring." "In 1942, the Soviet Air Force had shattered the myth of the German Air Force's invincibility." "And when the Allies' 800 airplanes had broken the air defenses of the Luftwaffe and destroyed and burned down Kiel," "Hitler was yelling at Göring in public:" ""Not one enemy bomb will ever fall on the Reich!" "Who was saying that to the nation?" "Who was assuring the Party of that?" "The leader's profession is in the exact correlation of promises and their fulfillment, Göring." "And you have deceived the nation."" "Göring was known as a heroic pilot of World War One." "After the Munich Beer Hall Putsch he fled to Italy, and returned to Berlin only following the amnesty." "Hitler proposed Göring as candidate to the Reichstag." "He had to win the trust of the people." "But he felt much more at ease with the fascists, and with the magnates that paid the Hitlerites." "Following the Nazis' victory," "Göring became Reich Marshal of the Air Force," "Reich President of the Reichstag," "Reich President of Prussia," "Reich Minister of the Air Force, responsible for carrying out the 4-year plan," "Chief Forest Warden of Germany." "As early as 1935, word went around the lower-level apparatchiks:" ""Göring is no longer our Göring." "He doesn't receive his Party comrades as he used before." "He makes them stand in line in his office to be signed up for an appointment." "He wallows in luxury." "He stopped mixing with the people."" "At first it was said almost in whisper." "But when Göring built himself a castle, Karinhall, where he had endless hunting parties," "the leader of the Labor Front, Ley, complained to Hitler." ""Göring's style," he said, "is corrupting the nation."" "Goebbels added:" ""Luxury sucks in, my Fuhrer." "We must help our Hermann."" "And Hitler went to Karinhall." ""Leave him alone," he said after a talk with Göring." "Only Hermann knows how to present himself to Western diplomats." "Let us regard this castle as the people's property." "Let's think that Göring just lives there."" "It was near Karinhall that a concentration camp was built, where at Göring's sanction experiments were conducted on sick old people and children." ""That's what the nation wants," said Göring after a visit to that death camp." "It was from Karinhall that Göring gave the order to destroy Guernica." "It was from Karinhall that he ordered to bomb Barcelona," "Warsaw, Moscow," "Coventry," "Belgrade," "Cracow, Leningrad." "It was where he returned after Hitler for the first time subjected him to humiliating criticism in 1942, after the Allies' air raids." "Since then he began to shun political activity, moved away from his old friends, making rare appearances at receptions." "Though for everybody in the Reich he remained the Fuhrer's successor, his closest comrade-in-arms, Nazi Number Two." "Himmler once said to Schellenberg:" ""That's it." "Göring is finished." "Hitler will never forgive him for the bombing of Germany."" "And so, Stirlitz eliminated Göring because the Reich Marshal had lost the real power he had had, in the first place, and secondly, because at Hitler's sanction he had been under the constant observation of Himmler's secret service." ""No," thought Stirlitz, in my war I shouldn't stake on Göring." "He's a colossus with feet of clay."" "Who?" "Who?" "Yes?" "I got you." "Who else was sharing your defeatist attitudes?" "Who of your co-workers, subordinates, assistants?" "Who?" "!" "You're going to tell me, swine." "Go on with interrogation." "02.15.1945 (18 hours 38 minutes)" "Top secret." "Personal file on Heinrich Mueller," "Gruppenfuhrer of the SS, Chief of the 4th Dept." "Of the Reich Security" "(secret state police, Gestapo)." "Reference on Heinrich Mueller, member of the Nazi Party since 1939," "SS Gruppenfuhrer, Chief of the 4th Dept." "Of the Reich Security." "A true Arian." "Of Nordic character, self-possessed." "Sociable and equable with friends and colleagues." "Merciless towards the Reich's enemies." "A good family man." "No discrediting liaisons." "Proved an outstanding organizer of work." "I don't wish to awaken in you the vicious chimera of suspiciousness towards your Party comrades-in-arms." "But facts point to the following." "First." "Stirlitz, though indirectly, is partly responsible for the failure of the Cracow operation." "He was there when the city, by some strange coincidence, remained intact, though it was supposed to be blown up." "Second." "He was on the case of the missing V-2 rocket." "The rocket has disappeared." "I pray to God that it has sunk in the marshes between the Wisla and the Wkra." "Third." "He's still in charge of a number of questions relating to the retaliation weapon." "And though there're no visible failures yet... there are neither" "any breakthroughs, successes or tangible victories." "I would be happy, Mueller, if you could now, before his files have been brought here," "refute my suspicions." "I like Stirlitz." "And I would like to get from you a documented refutation of my sudden suspicions." "I have never received any signals on him." "Yet... no one can be guaranteed against mistakes and failures in our work." "So you think that I'm quite wrong?" "No, not at all." "Certainly, we must analyze the suspicions we've got from every angle." "Otherwise, why maintain my apparatus at all?" "We all might be called then loafers evading the frontline." "Do you have more facts?" "What can I tell you..." "I don't even know what to tell you." "I've asked to tape-record his conversations with our people for a few days." "Those whom I absolutely trust openly talk with each other about our tragic situation," "the stupidity of our military, the cretinism of Ribbentrop," "about that idiot Göring, about the nightmare that awaits every one of us, if the Russians break into Berlin." "And Stirlitz just says: "Nonsense, everything's all right, everything goes the right way."" "Love for the Fatherland and the Fuhrer doesn't mean a blind faith in your colleagues." "I asked myself:" "Perhaps he's an idiot?" "We have so many dimwits who fecklessly repeat Goebbels' abracadabra." "No, he's not an idiot." "Then why isn't he being honest?" "Either he doesn't trust anyone or he is afraid of something, or he is scheming something and wants to be crystally pure." "But in this case, what can he scheme?" "All his operations must have an outlet abroad, to the neutrals." "I asked myself:" "Will he come back from there?" "And if he comes back, wouldn't he get in touch there with the neutrals, the opposition and other scoundrels?" "And I couldn't find a definite answer, neither positive, nor negative." "Yes..." "Do you want to look at his file first, or can I take it now?" "You take it." "I have to go to the Fuhrer now." "You've been drinking?" "No, not a drop." "Why are your eyes bloodshot then?" "I didn't sleep." "Too much work on Prague." "Our men are tailing the underground there." "It will get very interesting there in the next few weeks." "Kruger will give you assistance." "He's an excellent worker, though lacks imagination." "Have some cognac." " It will perk you up." " I wish it did." "On the contrary, cognac makes me dazed." "I prefer vodka." "This one won't make you dazed." "Prosit!" "This villa is a safe house." "At one time its purchase was transacted through dummy persons and a Bolzen, chief engineer of the people's chemical plant named after Robert Ley, got the right of using the villa." "He hired a guard, giving him a high salary and a good ration." "That Bolzen was Standartenfuhrer of the SS Stirlitz." "Today he came here to meet with his agent provocateur, Klaus." "Information to be pondered over." "Goebbels." "Veteran of Hitler's Party, Reich Minister of Propaganda," "Obergruppenfuhrer of the SS, the Gauleiter of Berlin, the architect of the Third Reich's new morals." "Married, has six children." "High-school education." ""You should be cruel and merciless when it comes to those we're fighting against and who are doomed by us for total annihilation." "No pity can ever stir in your hearts for a Slav, a Jew, a Frenchman." "Remember:" "You are the future masters of the world."" "Goebbels." "Leader of the Berlin Nazi organization," "Chief of the press, propaganda and culture, Joseph Goebbels was known in the Reich as an orator and a political strategist, the initiator of the banishment from Germany of Thomas Mann," "Albert Einstein, Bertold Brecht, Anna Seghers." "On his orders a fine publicist, von Oschecki, had been killed." "At his sanction, the best German journalists, Communists and and Social Democrats were executed." ""The Possessed Nazi" - that was Goebbels' nickname in the Party." "Although Reichsfuhrer Himmler's officials called the Reich Minister differently in their secret reports." "He was referred to by the codename" ""The Babelsberg Buck"." "Not once had the Gestapo agents spotted the Reich Minister in the boudoirs of actresses during night orgies in Babelsberg." "But scandal broke out when it became known that Goebbels had an affair with Czech actress Lida Baarova." "Goebbels was summoned to the Party office and for 4 hours was subjected to humiliating questioning about his affair with an inferior Slav woman." "Shortly after these events, which almost cost Goebbels his career," "Stirlitz saw the Reich Minister at a book fair." "He remembered Goebbels' hands, he remembered how carefully" "Goebbels handled the book of selected speeches of Goebbels." "The same night, on Goebbels' orders books had been burned, the books of Marx, Engels, Hegel, Kant," "Heine, Mann, Tolstoy," "Rolland, Gorky, Brecht, Seghers and many others." "The Reich Minister continued to expiate his sins before the new moral of the Third Reich." ""I, like everyone of us, will prove to the Fuhrer my loyalty by the readiness to give every drop of my blood for him," he said then." "Hitler had forgiven him only on the day of the assassination attempt when Goebbels, the only one of Hitler's bonzes left in Berlin, had obstructed the insurgent generals and taken part in their shooting." "It was on his orders that the mass arrests had been made in Berlin." "In those days hundreds of people were executed with no trial or investigation." "The Fuhrer had decorated Goebbels, appointed him the Gauleiter of Berlin and began to entrust to him trips to most vulnerable areas of the front, where the defense was held by Volksturm men and Hitlerjugend boys." "And finally, in January 1945 the Fuhrer came to Goebbels' house on his birthday." "That day Goebbels said to his wife:" ""With my Fuhrer, I'll rise from the ashes." "With my Fuhrer, I'll perish." "There's no other alternative."" "Goebbels was eliminated by Stirlitz as a possible candidate for negotiating with the West, first, because he had been already compromised at one time and removed by Hitler from political power." "And this could never be forgotten either by his foes or by his comrades." "Secondly, he had no ties to the army or the secret police." "And no one would have sat down the negotiating table with a statesman who had no real power behind him." "And, finally, he was fanatically loyal to Hitler." "London." "London was broadcasting cheerful music." "The Glenn Miller Orchestra was playing a composition from "Sun Valley Serenade"." "Himmler liked that film, and a copy had been bought in Sweden." "Since then the film was often screened in the basement of the Main Office of the Reich Security." "Particularly during night bombardments, when it was impossible to interrogate the prisoners." "So, Göring and Goebbels had been excluded." "Bormann or Himmler?" "Bormann or Himmler, which of the two?" " Yes, Mister Bolzen?" " Listen, Paul..." "Today you can go to town to your children." "Be back tomorrow by 6 a.m." "And if I'm still here, make me strong coffee, the strongest you can make." " All right, Mister Bolzen." " Now you may go." "Stirlitz was waiting for his agent." "The name of the agent was Klaus." "He was recruited 2 years ago." "He was willing to be recruited." "The former proof-reader liked to court danger." "He worked like an artiste, disarming interlocutors with his sincerity and the bluntness of opinion." "He was allowed to say anything as long as he delivered prompt results." "02.18.1945 (22 hours 34 minutes)" "And here I don't agree with you." "You're so ardently trying to persuade me that man descended from the monkey, as if you've met that monkey and it whispered something into your ear." "Did God whisper into your ear that He created man?" "And the existence of God can't be proved, you may only believe in Him." " You believe in the monkey, I in God." " No." "I believe not in the monkey, but in the man." "Which descended from the monkey." "Yes, yes..." "Did he serve food to you there?" "How do you..." "You believe in the monkey in the man, and I believe in God which is in every man." "In every man?" "Do you see Him in the Fuhrer?" "In Himmler?" "I caught him, didn't I?" "Yes." "Why don't you answer my question?" "Where's He in the Fuhrer?" "Where's He in Himmler?" "It's a tough question." "I see you weren't lucky with your cellmates." "And we had just amazing debates." "You know, Pastor, I got my education in prison." "Honestly." "In our cells there were no easy questions." "I had pickpockets as my cellmates." "With them, you know, it's not debates that you get." "I see you miss a good debate." "Well, I don't know..." "Thank you." "Thank you." " Well, how is it?" " Good." "Just delicious, thank you very much." "And what is this?" "What is this?" "These are the children of my organ player." "Twins." "He gives them music lessons." "Well, he is not supposed to, but I allowed him to." "One is out of tune." "Ludwig, the one that is shorter." "Great." "Yes." "Great." "But how about my question?" "It's like this." "We're talking with you about human nature." "Of course, in any of those scoundrels, Hitler and Himmler, one might find the traces of, so to speak, a fallen angel." "But their whole nature had been so much subordinated to the laws of brutality, violence and lies that essentially there has been nothing human left in them." "No, Pastor, you're evading a definitive answer." "You know, that skillful habit of yours to evade definitive answers had once alienated me from the church." "Wait, wait, but from the camp you ran to the church." "That's true." "But anyway I know I'm right here." "Because if I were a son of God, why should I have run from the camp?" "I would have just died there, turning up the other cheek." "What do you mean, "turning up the other cheek"?" "You're projecting a Biblical parable onto the real machine of the Nazi state." "Just think:" "A parable about human conscience and Nazism, a machine which is principally devoid of conscience." "Well, I don't know..." "You're not going to treat a stone on the road or a wall you run into as a being like you." "Great." "You know, Pastor, your place is in Rome, with the tribunes." "But even here, I catch you red-handed." "So, according to you, to denounce everything base and horrible in man is possible?" "Yes, of course, but not what was inborn, only the acquired." "Fine." "I was telling you that I was a journalist before my arrest." "And my reports had been banned both by the Nazis and the Church." "As for the Church, apparently it was against you because you were wrong in treating the nature of man too severely." "No, I wasn't treating the man." "I was showing the world of thieves and prostitutes." "The Hitlerites considered it a slander against the supreme race, and the Church a slander against the man." "I'm not afraid of the truth." "You are." "All right, maybe not you, but your colleagues." "I was showing the wretched, the fallen, who wanted to go to church, but the Church pushed them away, because the flock didn't want to accept the fallen in church and the pastor never went against his flock." "It's hard for the pastor to go against his flock." "But he shouldn't go after his flock either." "I'm not condemning you for the truth." "I disagree with you about the prognosis for the man's future." "In your argumentation you're not so much a pastor as a politician." "And in each man you only see a politician." "It's like seeing in a slide-rule just a tool for driving nails in." "Besides, you... you get very nervous when you argue." "But you shouldn't, you're with a friend." "No..." "I get nervous not because of our argument." "You see..." "I would like to... get in contact with my comrades." "But I don't know... you... you..." "Come on, speak up, speak up." "I've saved you from the pursuit and I will help you find your comrades." "But you're still too weak." "You're not ready yet for your struggle." "I can't let you go like this." "You should first get strong." "You had nothing to smoke at the pastor's." "I was just suffering without tobacco." "The old man is a great talker, but I felt like hanging myself with nothing to smoke." "But how do you..." "When you smoke, you begin to cough, haven't you noticed it?" "Really?" "No, I haven't noticed." "Well..." "So you're sure that the old man will put you in contact?" "Yes." "He will do anything for me." "Actually, the fact he was hiding a fugitive from the concentration camp speaks eloquently of his attitude towards the regime." "More than anything, I love to work with intellectuals and the clergy." "It's just amazing to see a man willingly going to his death." "Sometimes I felt like yelling to him:" ""Stop!" "Where are you going, you fool?"" "Have you got any canned fish?" "I'm just going mad without fish." "Nervous cells, you know, need phosphorus." "I will get good canned fish for you." " Which do you prefer?" " I like it in oil." " Domestic or?" " The latter." "It may be not patriotic, but I prefer foodstuffs and drinks made either in America or in France." "I'll get you a box of real French sardines." "Thank you." "They're in olive oil, very spicy and contain a lot of phosphorus." "I looked at your file yesterday." "I would pay a lot if only I could have a peek at it." "It's not as interesting as it may seem." "When you laugh, when you talk or complain about your bad liver, it makes an impression, especially when one knows you've carried out an intricate operation." "But your file is boring." "Just reports and denunciations." "Everything's mixed up:" "Your reports, reports on you." "No, it's not interesting." "Something else is intriguing." "I have calculated that on your denunciations, on your initiative, 97 persons have been arrested." "And none of them said one word about you." "Absolutely none." "Though they did quite a job on them in the Gestapo." "Why are you telling me this?" "I don't know." "Sort of trying to analyze it." "Did you feel any pangs of conscience when the people who'd given you refuge were later arrested?" "The devil only knows." "Perhaps I felt strong coming into single combat with them." "I got carried away with the fight." "As for what happened to them later..." "I don't know." "And what will happen to us all later?" "Well, you may be right." "After us the deluge." "Besides, our people..." "it's just cowardice, baseness, greed, snitching, it's just in everyone." "You can't be free among the slaves." "So wouldn't it be better to be the freest among the slaves?" "All those years I've been absolutely free spiritually." "Tell me, who came to the pastor last night?" " Nobody." " About 9 o'clock?" "No, you're mistaken." "At any case, nobody came from you." "I was alone there." " You put the house under observation?" " Of course." "Nobody came last night." "But the night before, his sister was there." "Oh, he just loves her!" "He knows her by her footsteps." " He has a sister?" " A sister and two nephews." "He adores them, and he knows it's her as soon as she opens the door..." "So you're sure that the old man will work for you?" "As you know, I always get results." "Of course he will!" "Actually, I feel in myself the calling of an oppositionist, a tribune, a leader." "I'll overwhelm people with my vigor and logical thinking." "And that pastor is a very dangerous man." "You think so?" "Why?" "Someone's made a big mistake by letting him free." "Perhaps." "All right." "Good work, Klaus." "But don't brag too much." "Now to business." "For a few days you'll be living in one of our houses." "Because after that you'll have to do... a very serious work." "Though it won't be my department." "Take a sheet of paper from the gray file and write the following." "Standartenfuhrer," "I'm deadly tired." "I've got no more energy." "I worked in good faith, but I can't go on." "I want to rest." "That's all." "Klaus." "What for?" "I think it would be good for you to go to Innsbruck for a week." "There are casinos there and young female skiers still sliding down the mountains." "Without this official letter I can't secure a week in paradise for you." "I might be accused of being too liberal towards my favorite agents." "Thank you." "Though I've got enough money." "There's never too much money." "Or is there?" "No, there isn't, actually." "They say it's very expensive now to treat that... influenza." "Try to recall again:" "Has anyone seen you at the pastor's?" "There's nothing to recall." "Nobody." "We'll drop the letter on our way to your new house." "Get an envelope." "And write another one to the pastor, so that there may be no suspicions." "Try to write it yourself." "I won't be disturbing you." "Here's my third draft." "Honesty involves action." "Honesty involves action." "Faith is founded on struggle." "Therefore, I can't forgive myself for inaction." "Inaction is worse than treason." "I am leaving to carry on struggle." " Well?" " Great." "Have you ever tried to write?" "No." "If I could write, would I have ever be..." "Go on." "Aren't we being honest with each other?" "You wanted to say that if you could write you would have never worked for us?" "Something of the sort." "Not something of the sort, but exactly that, isn't it so?" "Yes." "Good for you." "Why would you be insincere with me?" "No reason at all." "Finish your cognac and let's go." "It's dawn already, the bombers may be here very soon." "How far is the house?" "About 10 km away, in the woods." "It's quiet there, you'll get a lot of sleep." "Tell me, Klaus, about that Minister Krauze, did he say anything about ex-minister Krauze?" "No, not a word." "I wrote about it in my report." "He immediately went into his shell." "I was afraid to press him." "You did the right thing." " And nothing about Switzerland?" " Absolutely nothing." "All right, we'll try to approach him from a different side." "Sure." "The important thing is that he agreed to help me." "Atta boy, that pastor!" "Oh, what a beauty!" "And the smell, eh?" "Ravishing!" "I'll surround myself with books now and read to my heart's content." "Books help me get prepared for work." " Do you like reading?" " Yes, I do." "Me, too." "I love to read." "A good book makes man cleverer, sharper, even more complex, I would say." "Oh, what a beautiful place!" "It smells so good of rot." "For some reason, all those condemned to death, with whom I shared a cell before their execution, just loved to confess their love for nature to me." "And, you know, they put it in such beautiful words." "Amazing words, I would say." "You know..." "{c:$00ccff}..: (XviD asd) : tvshows.yoyo.pl :.."

"There is no organization in the front." "Absolutely no organization, my Fuhrer, total mess." "No military discipline at all." "I've even seen there drunk officers!" "The Bolsheviks' offensive is demoralizing the army, instills terror into them, animal terror." "And..." "It seems to me..." "Göring, I forbid you..." "I forbid you to go to the front!" "I forbid you to panic!" "It's not panic." "It's true, my Fuhrer, and my duty is to tell you the truth." "Shut up!"

"I forbid you once and forever!" "For the first time in his life Göring objected to the Fuhrer." "He was crushed and humiliated." "He felt those "nobodies" smiling behind his back:" "The Fuhrer's aides-de-camp Shmund and Burggorf." "In Karinhall the Luftwaffe staff officers were waiting for him." "When leaving the bunker, he ordered to summon his people." "Good morning." "The Reichsfuhrer has come." "He wants to talk privately." "See him to the sitting-room." "Please." "The Fuhrer cannot be the leader of the nation any more." "What's now then?" "The SS troops are in the bunker." "Actually, this is not the point." "The Fuhrer's will-power is paralyzed." "He cannot take decisions." "We must address the people." "Göring wanted to say: "Yes, Heinrich, I agree with you."" "But this black folder was in the way." "He knew that a Dictaphone could be mounted into it, and 2 hours later their conversation would be passed to the Fuhrer." "You're the successor, which means you're the President." "Thus, I'm the Reich Chancellor." ""He can say anything he likes," thought Göring." ""The father of provocateurs cannot be an honest man." "If he were an honest man," "I'd agree to all his proposals."" "It's impossible." "Only one person can be both President and Chancellor." "Who's that?" "Where?" "Over there." "Where?" "Behind the column in a blue coat." "It was the funeral of Professor of Medicine, Karl Pleischner, who had been Stirlitz' comrade-in-arms in the anti-fascist struggle." "Stirlitz felt like approaching the coffin and kissing the deceased, but he couldn't do that..." "Looking at Werner who was standing near the coffin," "Stirlitz only now realized how the two brothers resembled each other." "Karl's younger brother, Werner, didn't know that Stirlitz had got him released from the camp where he had been thrown on a denunciation." "It was 8 years ago..." "Since then he'd been living alone, because his wife had left him the next day after his arrest..." "Who's that?" "Kaltenbrunner." "Does he also have bad kidneys?" "Yes, he was Pleischner's patient for a long time." "For some reason Stirlitz suddenly remembered" "Gedrich's funeral in 1942, the man Kaltenbrunner had succeeded at his post." "The funeral was solemn." "The Fuhrer himself came." "This gesture..." "This gesture, precisely repeated by Kaltenbrunner, reminded him of the events of 1942." ""They all want to be like the Fuhrer," thought Stirlitz." "Shall we go?" "Yes." "Do you have bad kidneys?" " Sorry?" " Was he also your doctor?" "Unfortunately." "Who will treat us now?" "I don't know." "Yes." "02.20.1945 (06 hours 55 minutes)" "Information to be pondered over." "Himmler." "The Reichsfuhrer of the SS, responsible for the realization of Hitler's racial theory." "Honored Doctor of Archaeology." "Married." "Has a daughter." "Has a high-school education." ""Only one principle should exist for the SS member." "We should be honest, decent and loyal only towards the representatives of our race." "Whether other peoples flourish, or die from hunger interests me only because we need them as the slaves of our culture."" "Himmler." "Himmler started as the pupil of Strasser, the ideologist of Nazism." "It was Himmler who took part in the execution of his teacher, after the latter had quarreled with Hitler." "But that treachery didn't help Himmler." "People looked askance at him." "In Berlin he was regarded as Strasser's man." "That was why he was appointed the chief of the Munich criminal police, a very humiliating position." "The other person would've given way to despair, but Himmler was a man of action." "He started to create first concentration camps in Germany." "Once Göring wondered if such practice could push away Paris and London." ""Never," answered Himmler." ""Our concentration camps are humane instruments to save the enemies of national-socialism." "If we don't put them in camps, there will be a mob law." "In such way, they'll be completely reformed and realize our rightness"." "For his successful work in the creation of death camps, the Reichsfuhrer of the SS Himmler, by the Fuhrer's order, was appointed Vice-Minister of Internal Affairs." "For the first time he was not in Hitler's suite." "He was near Hitler himself." "He made the next step in the hierarchical ladder of Nazism." "Having returned to Berlin," "Himmler, together with his assistants and the SS HQ chiefs Karl Wolf and Gedrich, started to collect information on his friends and enemies." "On Ley," "Göring," "Hess." "He started to appear more often at the Nuremburg party congresses together with the Fuhrer." "But he was not among the favored ones." "He was not one of the Reich chiefs." "He only guarded the Fuhrer's life." "Only when Himmler staged an attempt upon Hitler's life during his travel around Berlin, only when he shielded him from the blank bullet, only then Himmler became Hitler's kindred brother, as he himself put it." "Where did you come from?" "Who is your master, honey?" "So I think I should feed you." "Let's go." "Let's go." "Come in." "I'll bring you something here." "Information to be pondered over (cont.)" "Himmler." "Himmler made his promotion not at the battlefields and even not due to the organization of the concentration camps in the USSR, Poland, Yugoslavia, Hungary." "That work didn't surprise anybody anymore." ""The great organizer of the cleansing terror," - said the Fuhrer about Himmler." "Himmler had reached his greatest advancement after the generals' attempt upon Hitler's life." "After that Himmler became a hero, the man who had exposed the plot." "Hitler awarded him and called him the most courageous Arian." "He delegated to him coming out at the meetings instead of himself." "And Bormann, Göring and Goebbels had to greet Himmler as they greeted only the Fuhrer." "Stirlitz thought that Himmler was one of the strongest figures in the political layout of the Reich." "Of course, Himmler could start dealing with the West, and would be able to keep in obedience the army and the SS and build up a front against the Bolsheviks, leaning for support upon the separate peace with the West." "But Stirlitz thought that the allies would never start negotiations with Himmler because to the whole world "Himmler" and "the hangman" meant the same." "So, was it Himmler then?" "It meant that to carry out his mission he had to contact Himmler." "02.20.1945 (23 hours 54 minutes)" "Here, in Koepenick, lived his radio operators Erwin and Kathe." "Stirlitz was violating the secrecy regulations which he'd been strictly following for twenty years." "But now he couldn't do otherwise." "Kathe was pregnant." "They didn't expect Stirlitz that night." "They came out for communication on Monday, and today was Wednesday." "Wednesday was the emergency day, and Erwin realized that there would be some work." "Good evening." "Good evening." "You look wonderful." "You belong to the rare type of women whom pregnancy makes irresistible." "Pregnancy makes any woman beautiful." "You simply had no opportunity to notice it." "No, I hadn't." "You're right." "Would you like coffee with milk?" "Where did you get the milk?" "Damn, I forgot to bring you the milk!" "I managed to get some." "She desperately needs at least a little milk." "Yes, now we've got even two cans of milk." "And carrot coffee." "One should be crafty to get food for pregnant women." "Will you play for us?" "Yes." "Did you check, whether they stuffed your air-hole with something?" " Yes, I did." "What's the problem?" " Nothing." "Everything is fine." "Did your brothers from the SD invent some new filth?" "It's possible." "Who knows?" "Quite possible." "Humankind likes secrets." "What?" "I got an assignment." "I must find out who from the highest bonzes is going to hold separate negotiations with the West." "They're having in mind Hitler's highest command." "What do you think?" "A funny task?" "Yes?" "They think I'm all-powerful, since I haven't failed in 20 years." "It means I'm all-powerful." "It would be nice to be Himmler's deputy or become the Fuhrer." "Hail Stirlitz!" "I'm becoming a grumbler." "Did you notice?" "It becomes you." "How are you going to give a birth?" "I don't think they invented some new way." "The day before yesterday I spoke to an obstetrician." "I don't want to scare you, guys." "Go on, baby." "Go on." "Thank you." "I don't want to scare you, but I myself got scared." "That old doctor told me that during labor he can tell the nationality of any woman." "I don't understand..." "Go ahead, baby." "Don't be scared." "First listen, and then we'll try to get out of this mess." "You see, women are crying when in labor." "I thought they were singing." "You see, baby, they cry out in their native tongue, in the dialect of the place where they were born." "So you'll cry "mummy" with a Ryazan accent?" "What's to be done?" "What about going to Sweden?" "I think I can manage it." "And you'll stay without any connection." "But I'll stay here." "She can leave only with you." "As a war invalid, you need treatment at a health resort." "There's an invitation from the German relatives in Stockholm." "They won't allow you to go alone." "It's HIS uncle who is registered here as a Swedish Nazi." "No." "We'll stay here." "It's fine." "I'll yell in German." "Well... you can swear in Russian but with a Berlin accent." "We'll decide it tomorrow." "We'll think about it calmly, without heroic emotions." "Let's go, Erwin." "Our decision will depend on what they'll answer me tomorrow." " Ready?" " Yes." "Let's go." "Yustas to Alex." "I'm still confident that not a single serious Western politician will negotiate with the SS or SD." "But since I got the assignment," "I'm starting to realize it." "I think I'll be able to carry it out if I pass to Himmler some information received from you." "With his support," "I'll be able to watch those who are looking for the channels to start such negotiations." "02.21.1945 (04 hours 45 minutes)" "Top secret." "Personal file on Kurt Eismann" "(the 4th Dept." "Of the Reich Security)." "Reference on Kurt Eismann," "Obersturmbannfuhrer of the SS, member of the Nazi Party since 1933." "A true Arian." "Character close to Nordic, firm." "Maintaining good relations with colleagues." "Irreproachable in carrying out his line of duty." "Merciless towards the Reich's enemies." "A sportsman." "Winner of the shooting competitions." "Excellent family man." "No discrediting liaisons." "Holder of the SS Reichsfuhrer's decorations." "I know." "Fine." "You can go." "What is it?" "I have also a splitting headache." "I'm dreaming of 7 hours of sleep, as of manna." "I never thought that insomnia was the most terrible torture." "You tell me." "Listen..." "Sit down." "The point is that..." "It's a strange case." "Today the chief called me." "Our chiefs are all dreamers." "They can dream because they don't have any concrete work." "And even a trained chimpanzee can give directions." "You see..." "He's got a big grudge against Stirlitz." "Who?" "Yes, yes." "Against Stirlitz." "It's the only person in Schellenberg's intelligence whom I liked." "Whom I like." "He's calm and not a lickspittle." "He's not hysterical and doesn't show that false zeal." "I don't believe people who keep close to the chiefs and make speeches at our party meetings." "They are nothing." "Chatterboxes and idlers." "And this one is silent." "I like silent people." "If your friend is silent, it's a friend." "If your enemy is silent, it's enemy." "I respect them." "One can learn something from them." "I've known Stirlitz for 8 years." "We were together in Spain." "In Smolensk I saw him during a bombing." "He's made of flint and steel." "Why are you using epithets?" "Are you tired?" "Leave those epithets for our party bonzes." "We, detectives, should use nouns and verbs." "He met with her, she said, he handed her something." "Don't you assume such an idea?" "No." "I cannot believe that Stirlitz is dishonest." "Neither can I." "We should convince Kaltenbrunner of it." "Why?" "What if he wants Stirlitz to be dishonest?" "Why should we dissuade him?" "Finally, Stirlitz... is not from our department." "He's from the 6th department, not from Gestapo." "Let Schellenberg dance." "Schellenberg will demand the proof, and you know that the Reichsfuhrer will support him." " Do you think so?" " I'm sure of it." "Why?" "I cannot prove it." "I'm sure of it, Gruppenfuhrer." "All right." "What shall we do?" "I think that we should be honest with ourselves." "This will define our next actions and behavior." "Actions and behavior are the same things." "Fine." "I give you an excellent opportunity to be honest." "Take these materials and make a conclusion, an honest conclusion." "And I'll use it as the basis when I report to the chief about the results of the inspection." "Why me?" "Why should I do it?" "Where is your honesty, my friend?" "Ah?" "Where is it?" "It's easy to advise other people to be honest." "But everyone personally tries to turn his dishonesty into honesty." "So to speak, to justify himself and his actions." "Am I not right?" "I'm ready to write a report." "What report?" "I'll write that I've known Stirlitz for a long time and I can vouch for his loyalty." "Go ahead, write it." "To Gruppenfuhrer Mueller, Chief of the SS 4th Department." "I think that Standartenfuhrer von Stirlitz is a true Arian devoted to the ideals of the Fuhrer and the NSDAP." "I'm asking for your permission not to hold an inquiry into his case." "Obersturmbanfuhrer of the SS Eismann." "Well..." "Fine fellow." "I've always treated you with respect and total trust." "And now, I've had an opportunity to make certain once again of your high decency, Eismann." "Thank you, Gruppenfuhrer." "You have nothing to thank me for." "I should thank YOU." "Take those folders and make up a favorable report about Stirlitz' work." "I don't have to teach you." "The scout's skill, the detective's shrewdness, the courage of a true National-Socialist." "How much time will it take you?" "To draw everything up and substantiate it by documents," "I'll need a week." " 5 days." "No more." " All right." "Don't forget to point out Stirlitz' work with that priest." "Kaltenbrunner thinks that through priests someone is trying to establish contacts with the West." "The Vatican and things like that." "All right." "Good luck." "Go and have a good sleep." " I cannot give you 7 hours." " What about 5?" "Yes." " Have a good sleep." " Thank you." " Hail!" " Hail!" "02.21.1945 (05 hours 05 minutes)" "Your I.D." "They are blocking the roads to the West and to the South." "What's up?" "There was an alarm." "We're looking for radio operators." "They've reacted quickly." "But it's rather naïïve." "Though it's true when you deal with dabblers who don't know Germany." "But I do know Germany." "A boaster." "Why?" "It's not boasting." "If I didn't know Germany, I'd have taken this road." "But I drove Erwin through Neekeln." "Fine, Stirlitz." "Would you like to search the trunk?" "There're craters on the road." "Be careful, Standartenfuhrer." "I'm always careful." "How did Pushkin put it?" "You're super, Pushkin!" "Son-of-a-bitch!" "You're super, Stirlitz." " Good evening, Mr. Bolzen." " Good evening." "Here are your cigarettes and matches." "Stirlitz used to go to this pub called "Elefant"." "Maybe he himself didn't remember how it all had happened." "It was ten years ago." "He had to go to Spain." "He didn't know about it." "Knowing about it, the Moscow command had arranged for his meeting with his wife in this pub." "Cognac and cigarettes." "Your successes are indisputable." "Hello, Gabi." "So..." "Our successes are indisputable." "Yes?" "As usual." "I'm very glad." "And where is Frau Zaurich?" "Her friend fell ill." "She went to bring her some food." "What about a game of chess?" "Gabi, you're not interesting for me as a chess partner." "I know." "Goodbye." "I have some things to do." "May I come in?" "Listen, Holtoff," "I'm giving you the task of extreme importance and secrecy." "I'm all attention, Gruppenfuhrer." ""This one will dig the ground," thought Mueller." ""He is butting like a young horse." "He still likes our games." "He's swimming like fish in them." "He'll do a hell of a job!" "That's good." "I'll have something to bargain over with Schellenberg"." "You have to study these cases." "It's Standartenfuhrer Stirlitz' work for the last year." "This case concerns the retaliation weapon, the atomic weapon and physicist Runge." "In general, the case is stinky, but try to dig it." "Come to me, if you have any problems." "That's all." "One more thing." "Examine the files concerning his activity at the front." "And find out if Stirlitz somehow intersected with Eismann." "Where are the detectives?" " Gauptstubefuhrer Geppert is here." " Bring him in." "Hail Hitler!" "Gruppenfuhrer." "Come in, Geppert." "Remember this person." "From now on you'll accompany him everywhere." "It's good if you follow him even from the toilet to the bathroom." "May I take it?" "Pain, my pain, leave me, at least for a while!" "Like a blue-grey cloud" "Go to my home," "From here to my home." "My country, show yourself in the distance." "My country, my tender country," "I'd like to reach you so much," "At least some day." "Very far away, very far away" "It's raining during sunshine." "Right near the river in the garden" "The cherries are ripe on the trees." "Somewhere far away in my memory," "It's warm like in the childhood," "Though my memory is covered" "With such layers of snow." "Thunderstorm, appease my thirst" "Until I'm drunk but not dead." "Now again, as if for the last time" "I'm looking to the sky," "As if seeking for an answer..." "Pain, my pain, leave me" "At least for a while!"

"It will help me to inform you about all the news which will confirm your hypothesis, or on the contrary, refute it." "At present there is no other way." "ln case of approval, send your message through Erwin." "Yustas." "He is on the verge of failure." "He is on the verge of failure." "If he goes directly to Himmler, he'll fail immediately, and nothing will save him, even if Himmler decides to play with him." "But it's hardly possible." "He is not the one to play games with the Reichsfuhrer of the SS." "Send him tomorrow the immediate and categorical prohibition." "All right, Vladimir." "Stirlitz was going to Erwin." "That morning Stirlitz had to get the answer from the centre through Erwin." "By the legend, Erwin was the owner of a small record-player firm." "This enabled him to travel a lot and receive many people at his place." "Hey, you!" "Move!" "Quicker!" "Come on!" "Quicker!" "Work quicker!" "Do you hear me?" "Quicker, quicker!" "What are you staring at?" "Come on!" "Quickly!" "There are so many cars." "If they fly in now, nothing will remain of us." "I don't think they'll fly in today." "It's cloudy." "Move!" "Do you hear me?" "The people are waiting over there." "This way." "Nowhere in the world, thought Stirlitz, the policemen like to command as they do in our country." "Our country..." "Stirlitz caught himself at thinking in such a way about Germany and Germans." "And he was surprised." "A paradox." "Don't you see that the cars are waiting, the people are waiting." "Of course, not." "He was living in Germany, knew those people and believed in their future." "Stirlitz remembered the day when for the first time he saw Thalmann." "Thalmann was marching at the head of the demonstrators' column, and the workers were guarding that column from all sides." "To be the soldier of revolution means to maintain faithfulness to our cause, such faithfulness, which is tested by life and death, said Thalmann one day." "And Thalmann was a true soldier of revolution." "He struggled to the end for the happiness of his people." "Go away." "Quickly, quickly." "Go." " Hail Hitler." " What's up?" "The street is closed, you should use a byway road." "What happened?" "The British fighters threw some super-powerful bomb." "Only ruins are left." "I'm sorry, Standartenfuhrer, but it's forbidden to go here." "The sappers are afraid there are any delay-action bombs." "So we'll die together." "ls everyone dead?" "I don't know, but there were a lot of ambulances." " Are there any things left?" " No!" "See, what's going on?" "Mummy!" "Mummy!" "Mummy..." "She was brought into hospital with a strong concussion and a shock." "It took half an hour to dig her out of the debris." "She remained alive by miracle." "This Polish girl gave birth to such a giant." " She is not Polish." " ls she Russian, Czech?" "She is German by passport." "A passport belonging to Katherine Kien was found in her coat." "Maybe it's somebody else's coat?" "Maybe." "A gorgeous chubby baby." "He must weigh no less than 5 kilos." "Will you call Gestapo, or I'll do it?" "You'd better call them a bit later." "We've got much work to do." "All right." "Hello, Frau Kien." "Hello." "I'd like to ask you several questions." " Do you hear me?" " Yes... I won't bother you very much." " Where are you from?" " From the insurance company." "My... ls my husband dead?" "I'd like to ask you where he was when the bomb fell." "He was in the bathroom." "Oh, you had some briquettes left." "It's such a deficit." "We get terribly cold at our company." "Yes." "He got some by a lucky chance." "Are you tired?" "ls he dead?" "I brought you sad news, Frau Kien." "He's dead." "We're helping the people who suffered during that bombing." "What kind of help would you like to get, while you're in hospital?" "I think you're provided with food." "We'll prepare clothing for you and for the baby, when you're discharged from hospital." "What a wonderful chubby baby!" "A girl?" "It's a boy." "A shouter?" "No." "I haven't heard his voice yet." "Do they often cry?" "My children cried awfully." "My ear-drums were bursting from their cries." "But mine were born slim, and yours is a giant." "And all giants are silent." "Could you answer one more question, please?" "What was the sum of your property insurance?" "I don't know." "My husband dealt with it." "Where was your property insured?" "ln what department?" "I think, at the corner of Kurfurstendam and Kaung Street." "It's 27th department." "Now it's easier to make inquiries." "Do you remember the insurance sum?" " l think 10 thousand marks." " lt's a big sum." "Come, come..." "Young mother shouldn't cry and worry." "Believe me, the father of 3 children." "This will immediately tell on the baby's stomach, and you'll hear his bass." "You shouldn't think only about yourself." "This luxury is over for you once and forever." "You should think only about your baby." "Yes." "I won't cry." "Where are your relatives?" "Our company will help them to come here." "We'll pay for their travel, provide lodging." "But some hotels are ruined and some are given to the military." "But we have private apartments." "Your relatives won't feel sorry." "Whom should I inform?" "They stayed in Koenigsberg." "I don't know anything about them." "What about your husband's relatives?" "Whom should I inform?" "His relatives are in Sweden, but it's no good to write to them." "His uncle is a friend of Germany, and we were asked not to write to him." "That was why we sent the letters through the embassy." "Do you remember the address?" "I'm sorry. I'll first feed the baby and then tell you the address." "I won't bother you." "While I'm writing down your uncle's address, have a look at these photos and tell me if you see your things here." "Some things were found after the bombing." "ln your position even one suitcase is a great help." "Of course, she recognized the suitcase with a radio transmitter." "You can sell something and buy necessary things for the baby." "Of course, we'll try to prepare everything when you leave hospital..." "Franz..." "Baken..." "Gustav-George-Platz... 25..." "Stockholm." "Thank you." " Are you tired?" " A little." "Just look carefully, and I'll leave." "No, I don't see our suitcases here." "Thank you." "Let's consider this issue also settled." "ln a day or two I'll drop by and inform you about the results." "The commissions which I take, are very small and won't offend you." "I'll be very grateful to you." "Himmler's reception room." "The SS headquarters chief Obergruppenfuhrer Karl Wolf." "General Wolf, they called you from the airport." "The plane is ready but by the evening the weather might change." "I'm leaving immediately." "Call the airport, please." "General, this is what the Reichsfuhrer ordered to prepare for you." "I'll read them in the car." "You'll go with me and then take them back." "We cannot take out these documents." "Here are 3 short references." "I'll look through them at your office." "Tell Schellenberg to come here." "I sent Wolf to Bern to contact Dulles." "I think it's wise." "It's insane, Schellenberg." "It's insane and adventurous." "You mean the failure of the whole operation?" "I mean all the set of possibilities." "It's you." "It's all your work." "You forced me to make this step." "If Wolf fails, all the materials will come to us." "First they can get to the Vienna man." "Sorry?" "To Kaltenbrunner." "And I don't know whether these materials will go to Bormann or to me." "And you know what Bormann will do as soon as he gets such kind of documents." "And imagine the Fuhrer's reaction when he sees everything with Bormann's comments." "I analyzed this possibility too." "Which possibility?" "I analyzed the possibility of Bormann taking hold of these documents." "First, Wolf has to talk with Dulles not on behalf of you, or of himself, but on behalf of Kesselring." "He's subordinate to him in Italy." "He's Deputy Commander in Italy and is not directly subordinate to you." "It's fine." "Did you think of it before, or it has just occurred to you?" "It occurred to me as soon as I found out about Wolf's travel." " Sit down." " Thank you." " You can smoke." " Thanks." "Will you allow me?" "Himmler knew that Schellenberg smoked only  and didn't like any other cigarettes." "After America had become engaged in the war, he asked him:" "Where are these cigarettes from?" "Schellenberg smiled and said:" "It's true." "When you smoke American cigarettes, they'll say you're a traitor." "Himmler didn't forget about it." "I analyzed all the possibilities including the unpleasant ones." "Meaning?" "What if Kesselring, or worse, his patron Göring, will prove their alibi in this case?" "We'll be able to prevent it." "Take care of it in advance." "Of course, we'll do it." "But you were right when you had led out of this game your deputy, Kaltenbrunner." "He can give us this opportunity." "He and Mueller." "What do you suggest?" "I suggest to kill two birds with one stone." "It's impossible." " Actually, I'm not a hunter." " Neither am I." "The Fuhrer says that the relations among the allies are on the verge of rupture." "Consequently, the rupture among them is one of our main goals." "And?" "I cannotjudge what Stalin will do, if he finds out about the separate negotiations held by SS general Wolf." "I cannot say what he will do." "But I have no doubt that he'll take measures." "Thus, is Wolf's travel, coded by us as big misinformation for Stalin, for the Fuhrer's good or not?" "I mean our legend, our negotiations are bluff for Stalin." "That's what we'll tell the Fuhrer, in case of failure." "I'll think about it." "Will you be interested in details, or I'll take care of them?" "You'd better do it." "Actually, there shouldn't be any details in this case." "What do you exactly mean?" "First of all, a cover operation." "We should send some dummy, not ours, to negotiate with the West." "Then we'll give the materials about this man to the Fuhrer." "ln case of necessity, it will be the victory of our intelligence." "We frustrated the enemy's plans." "That's exactly what Goebbels is saying." "Yes?" "Secondly, thousands of eyes will watch Wolf in Switzerland." "Among those eyes there might be our agents who'll send a message here." "Who will get this message?" "Who will inform?" "Your agent or Mueller's?" "An intellectual who objectively sizes up the situation, or a blind fanatic like Kaltenbrunner." "Consequently, I'd like to have among the eyes of the Western allies who will be watching Wolf, 5-6 pairs of my eyes." "Wolf won't know about our people." "The agents will send information directly to me." "And finally, there's the third alibi." "ln case of failure, we'll sacrifice Wolf, but all the materials concerning his behavior will be a part of our alibi." "YOUR alibi." "Yours." "Who do you want to send?" "For the first task" "Schellenberg chose Stirlitz with his pastor." "Do you have any concrete candidatures?" "I've got very good candidates." "But I can think about it myself, without disturbing you." "You may go." "lnvestigator of the Gestapo District Department." " Did you call me?" " Yes, Lemke." "Take the photos and the suitcases and send them for expert tests." "I covered them with Norwegian lacquer." "It wonderfully shows the fingerprints." "Hurry them up." "They've made the tests of the prints from the suitcase with the radio." "The fingerprints were discovered on the suitcase too." "So..." "And?" "But the prints are not very well seen." "The leather is bulged." " Bring them here." " Yes." "02.23.1945 (9 hours 00 minutes)" "The troops of the 3d Byelorussian Front are conducting offensive operations in the South-West of Koenigsberg." "The troops of the 1st Byelorussian Front with the participation of the Polish patriots liquidated the encircled grouping of the enemy, occupied the city and the Poznan fortress." "Today, on the 23rd of February, there was published Order No5 of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief in connection with the 27th anniversary of the Red Army." "The order summed up the results of the Soviet troops' winter offensive which on the 1st of January, 1945 struck the most powerful blow along the whole frontline from the Baltic to the Carpathians, broke the enemy's" "1200 km-long defense line and advanced 270 km. deep inside the border of East Prussia to the lower stream of the Wisla river, from the bridgehead on the Wisla to the south of Warsaw, to the lower stream of the Oder " "as far as 570 km, from the Ondomirsky bridgehead deep into German Silesia - as far as 480 km." "Within 40 days of the offensive, the Soviet troops drove out the fascists from 300 cities, seized about 100 military plants, occupied over 2400 railway stations," "took hold of the network of railroads more than 15 thousand km long and caused great losses to the enemy's manpower and technology." "Roosevelt congratulates the Red Army on the 27th anniversary." "Anticipating our total victory over the Nazi invaders, I'd like to use this opportunity and congratulate from all my heart the Red Army on its 27th anniversary." "The important decisions taken in Yalta will near the victory and make a strong foundation for everlasting peace." "The continuous, great victories of the Red Army, together with the efforts of the Allies' armed forces in the South and in the West provide for the quick achievement of our common goal - to establish peace in the whole world on the basis" "of mutual understanding and cooperation." "The Prime Minister of Great Britain Churchill writes in his message:" "The red Army is celebrating its 27th anniversary with triumph which won great admiration of the allies and which determined the destiny of the German militarism." "The future generation will recognize its debt to the Red Army as unconditionally as we're doing it - we who were the witnesses of those great victories." "Today the Presidium of the USSR Supreme Council awarded orders and medals to 45 officers of the French army unit ." "02.23.1945 (09 hours 00 minutes)" "Stirlitz asked for an appointment with Himmler." "Of course, it was an extreme measure, but he had no other way." "Yes." "I see." "All right." "ln that folder there was his letter to Himmler." "Now that he remained alone, he had no other way out." "To carry out his mission, he had to enlist Himmler's support, get an assignment from him, and, using him as an official cover, start searching for those who may begin or already began to negotiate with the West." "Half an hour ago he wrote the following letter:" "To the Reichsfuhrer of the SS" "Heinrich Himmler." "Top secret." "Personal." "Reichsfuhrer!" "Our nation's interests force me to write to you this letter." "From the sources close to the journalists, I came to know that" "behind the back of the SD and of the Reichsfuhrer, some people are establishing contacts with the West, trying to strike a bargain with the enemy." "I want you to receive me and listen to my proposals on that issue." "I'm asking for your permission to use my connections in order to give you more details and propose my own plan of working up this version which, unfortunately, is too close to truth." "Sincerely yours, Standartenfuhrer of the SS von Stirlitz." "If Himmler asked Stirlitz where he had got such information, he knew what to say." "Three days ago a cameraman from" "Portugal perished during a raid." "His name was Poeblos Wasserman, and he was closely connected with Swedes." "Thus, from that point of view his version was absolute." "ln general, going to the Reichsfuhrer of the SS without Schellenberg's sanction, was a rough violation of subordination." "Stirlitz foresaw that too." "He knew that on Wednesday and Friday" "Schellenberg worked in the suburb intelligence centre." "Today was Friday." "Please, General." "You have 10 minutes." "You're next, Standartenfuhrer." "You have 3 minutes." "No15." "This is Tsoller speaking." "Bring the report about the killed and wounded during yesterday's bombing." "ln Berlin, in Berlin." "No one could've foreseen THAT." "General Polt is in the Reichsfuhrer's office." "Shall I announce you?" "I need you, Stirlitz." "I'll come in half an hour." "What are you doing here?" "You were away." "I wanted to tell you, but you were away." "You were at the airport, but the case is urgent." "It concerns the family of the perished Colonel Kroll." "What happened?" "Tomorrow the last car is leaving with the families of our employees." "Everyone is being evacuated." "But for the Kroll's family they didn't find place." "Didn't find place?" "It's outrageous." "Give it to me." "It's terrible." "Colonel Kroll was with the Reichsfuhrer during the first days of our movement." "And when he perished..." "How quickly we forget everything." "If you allow me, I'll call the administrative department and organize everything." "Fine." "Do it." "Tsoller is listening." "Brigadefuhrer." " Who's that?" " Hallman." "What did you want, Standartenfuhrer?" " They are waiting for you." " l'm going." "The Brigadefuhrer is coming here." "I need you, Stirlitz." "What a voice!" "He's reporting like an operetta singer whose voice is coming from the stomach, wishing to make an impression." "I'm always sorry for aides-de-camp." "They should always maintain the air of importance, otherwise people will see that no one needs them." "No, the aide-de-camp is very necessary." "Very necessary." "He is like a beautiful hound." "You can talk to it, and if the exterior is good, other hunters are jealous." "I knew one aide-de-camp who played the part of impresario." "He would tell everyone that his master was a genius." "Finally, they organized for him a car accident." "He was singing too sweetly." "Did you invent it?" " Of course I did." " lt's funny." "Did you also invent it about Kroll's widow?" "I'm kidding." "Hail Hitler, guys." "Hail Hitler, Mueller." "I'm glad to see you, devils." "Are you inventing the next perfidy?" "Why not?" "What can be compared to your perfidy?" "We're angels compared to you." "To me?" "Well, it's good when you're taken for a devil." "People die, but the memory remains, even such memory." "Super, Hallman." "Everything is fine and quickly done." "Everyone gets what he deserves." "Yes?" "And Dietrich had freckles." "I didn't notice them before." "Did you know him?" "It's your aide-de-camp for special missions." "As well as those two." "Total change of guard." "Let's talk business, Stirlitz." "I need your pastor." "I need your pastor." "Pastor Schlagg." "Did I name him correctly?" "ls he safe and sound?" "ls he still living with his sister and nephews in Garten Street 2?" "Yes, he's living with his sister and nephews in Garten Street 2." "I need your pastor. I... I'm going to send him to Switzerland." "Fine. I hope you don't mean a rest in the mountains." "Of course, not." "He'll go there to seek peace." "So you think that the pastor will return back, if we take his sister and nephews as hostages, don't you?" "He'll definitely come back." "These are one-ton bombs, no less." "I think so." "They are flying away." "No?" "They are flying away to take new bombs." "So you think that when Pastor Schlagg returns back, he won't blab out that it was YOU who sent him there to establish contacts." "It depends on who will interrogate him." "It's nice you have the recordings of his conversations." "And I wish he himself died somewhere during a bombing." "I'll think about it." "For how long?" "I'd like to have your permission... to weigh everything." "How long are you going to weigh it?" "I'll try to suggest something in the evening." "Fine." "Does the Reichsfuhrer know about your plan to send the pastor to Bern?" "No." "Let's say no. ls it clear?" "Yes." "It's pleasant that you grasp everything so quickly." "I like working with you." "So do I." " Why are you so angry?" " Me?" "Angry?" "I'm much gloomier when I'm angry." "I'm simply reflecting." "If everything turns up well, you can go to the mountains for 5 days." "You will enjoy nice skiing, the blue snow, a brown suntan." "Oh God, we forgot about many things during the war." "First of all, we forgot ourselves." "Like a coat in the wardrobe after hard drinking on Easter." "Yes, like a coat in the wardrobe." " When did you stop writing poems?" " l've never started." "A little lie generates a big distrust." "I swear I wrote everything except verses." "Why not?" "I've an idiosyncrasy about rhymes." "He was on the verge of failure." "More than 2 hours later, after Stirlitz had left Himmler's reception room, he realized that he was on the verge of failure." "Nevertheless, he considered that day one of the most successful in his life." "It was a serious and big success." "First, because he was alive and knew that the negotiations were initiated by Himmler." "He could've been very close and never known about it." "Now he knew that, and that second fact was the most important." "He also knew that Schellenberg had decided to release the pastor and use him as a backup channel of connection long before." "Now that he knew everything, he had to act." "Stirlitz had to make correct conclusions and go ahead." "Schellenberg counted on the pastor to be a dummy in their game." "But Stirlitz didn't know what kind of game it would be." "It was clear that the pastor was bait, a cover." "That was Schellenberg's plan." "But he overlooked the fact that Schlagg had strong connections in Switzerland." "So, decided Stirlitz, I should make Schlagg use his influence against those who, with Stirlitz' hands, are sending him to Switzerland." "Stirlitz wanted to use the pastor as a backup channel of connection." "Now the pastor had to play another, more responsible, role." "It was necessary to prepare for the pastor such a legend which will arouse towards him a serious counter-interest, as compared to the other Germans who came or are going to come to Switzerland for such negotiations." "Please." "But one pastor is both too little and too much." "We need someone to stand by." "We need someone else." "We need one more reliable person like Professor Pleischner." "But Karl Pleischner is dead, and his death broke all the links with the German resistance group." "It wasn't easy to find such a person, and it was impossible to do it in one day." "Hans." "Yes?" "Coffee, please." "As usual, without milk?" "He needed one more person." "It was clear that a cover was necessary." "Another thing was clear too." "Himmler, whose support he was seeking, had now become a counter-figure." "ln that case it was necessary to look for the other important figure and enlist his support." "23-Feb-45" "23-Feb-45" "Today is a day off, decided Stirlitz." "Today was the 23rd of February, the Red Army Day." "It was the day which Colonel lsayev had always marked." "He marked it differently, depending on the circumstances." "Leningrad, 1942" "Stalingrad, 1943" "Moscow, 1944" "02.23.1945 (21 hours 35 minutes)" "Eismann had been studying Stirlitz' file for several days now." "He examined a heap of documents, but couldn't understand why Stirlitz was under suspicion." "File on Fritz Schlagg, a Catholic priest." "Arrested on the 23rd of June, 1944." "Accused of anti-state activity and an attempt on the Fuhrer's life." "Two denunciations had triggered the arrest:" "those of Barbara Krain" "and of Robert Niche." "Both were the parishioners of his church." "They affirmed that in his sermons Schlagg was calling for peace and friendship among all the peoples, denouncing barbarian wars and bloodshed." "The objective check-up established that the pastor had met with the former Minister Krauze who was living in emigration in Switzerland." "They were on friendly terms, but nothing pointed to the pastor's political connection with Krauze." "Eismann wondered why Schlagg had fallen in the hands of the intelligence." "Why didn't they send him to the Gestapo?" "Why did he interest Schellenberg's people?" "He found the answer in a short supplement to the case." "ln 1933 Pastor Schlagg went twice to Great Britain to take part in pacifist congresses." "Eismann realized that they had become interested in his connections." "They were interested who he had met there." "That was why he had fallen into the hands of the intelligence." "That was why Stirlitz worked with him." "And what about Stirlitz?" "He was carrying out an order." "Please, call the special card-index." "It's Eismann from the 4th department." "Hello." "Will you look up in your card-index, if there is any recording of Pastor Schlagg's interrogation by Stirlitz." "Yes." "Yes, yes." "All right." "What if you were not a pastor?" "I am against such supposition." "I'll put it in a rough way." "If you were deprived of your cloth, would you struggle against the regime?" "You asked me about it 9 days ago, when you had taken me to dine in that funny restaurant." ", yes?" "Nevertheless, answer me." "Would you struggle against the regime, if you were deprived of your cloth?" "I don't know." "I've always hated violence." "But for every person there comes a moment, when he cannot stand it anymore." "Were you scared in prison?" "I... was scared during... all the 1 1 years of your power." "Demagogy." "You were scared when you were in prison." " Of course." " Of course." "Would you like to come here once again, if we release you by some miracle?" "I wouldn't like to deal with you." "What if I release you on one condition?" " l'm not..." " l'm not talking about this." "We have many informers." "You wanted to ask about it, didn't you?" " Yes." " You see." "No." "My condition is this." "I want to have with you friendly, purely human relations." "Do you want to help me as a person..." " ... ot are you counting on me?" " l'm counting on you." "ln that case... I should be confident that your aim is decent." "Otherwise I won't be able to give you a positive answer." "Believe me, my aims are absolutely decent." "What do you want me to do?" "I've got friends in our state bodies." "Scholars, party functionaries, journalists, military men." "It's not an opposition." "These people are loyal to the regime." "If I convince my superiors to release you, it would be interesting if you could talk to them." "I won't ask you to report about these conversations." "But I'm not sure that there won't be Dictaphones behind the wall." "But you can go to the forest, to the field, and talk there." "I'd be interested to know your opinion about the degree of evil," "or good, which you will discover in those people." "Could you do that for me?" "Either you trust me too much and ask for the support which you cannot get from any other person, or you're provoking me." "And if you're provoking me, our talk will go round the circle." " Meaning?" " We won't find a common language." "You'll remain a functionary, and I'll remain a person who does his best not to become a functionary." "How can l convince you that it's not a provocation?" "Look into my eyes." "Let's think that we have exchanged the credentials, and the agreement is almost made." "Oh you steppe..." "How vast you are," "How endless you are," "Oh, Mother-Volga," "How free you are." "This is Eismann speaking." "I need information concerning pastor Schlagg's behavior in prison:" "his contacts, personality, conversations with convicts, his interests." "I need all the details." "The answer, which was ready an hour later, was absolutely unexpected." "Pastor Schlagg was released from prison in February 1945." "It was impossible to understand if he had agreed to work on the SD or his release was the consequence of some other reasons." "There was only Schellenberg's oral order." "There was only Schellenberg's oral order to release the pastor and put him under Stirlitz' supervision." " ls that all?" " Almost." "There's one more thing." "After his release, a special agent from the 6th Dept. worked with Schlagg." "Where are his materials?" "He was directly connected with Standartenfuhrer Stirlitz." "And no records left?" "No records were kept in the interests of the operation." "Find that agent." "But only 3 people should know about it: you, me and him." "{c:$00ccff}..: (XviD asd) : tvshows.yoyo.pl :.."

"No?" " You had big problems, didn't you?" " Problems?" "If a concentration camp is a problem." "You know, I've been taught to argue only with those who I can fully trust." "I trusted only one man." "My brother." "How can one live without any trust?" "How do you manage to live?" "I manage." "Yes, I do." "I don't know why, but I trust you." "Frau Bau, go down to the air-raid shelter, please." "But why?" "You know pretty well I manage to run just to the middle of the hallway." "I guess, it's better to stay here then." "The fear reflex." "Nothing can be done about it." "So where were we?" "Right, here's your book." "You said you trust me." "Why?" "Don't know." "Information to be pondered over." "Bormann." "The Reichsleiter, the Fuhrer's Nazi party deputy." "Married." "Father of eight children." "Has a conviction." "Incomplete high-school education." "About Bormann, like everybody else in the Reich, Stirlitz knew very little." "There was a word he'd served a sentence for assassination, but then either escaped or was released after the amnesty and joined Hitler's party." "He became Hess' private secretary who was the only privileged one to be on the first-name basis with the Fuhrer..." "Having taken over Hess' position, after the latter fled to England," "Bormann sanctioned the Gestapo to destroy all his friends he used to work with in the party office." "Like before, he was unnoticeable, stayed away from cameras and seldom appeared at receptions." "He demonstrated accentuated respect for Göring, Goebbels and Himmler." "He changed only after the Fuhrer called him his shadow." "Bormann wrote" "Hitler's most important political speeches." "Every morning Bormann reported to him on home and foreign affairs." "Bormann decided whether the Fuhrer would receive Goebbels or deny him an audience, whether he would invite Mussolini to dinner or not." "Stirlitz, like many others in the SD, knew that in the last few years the Fuhrer had made no important decision without consulting with Bormann." "Thinking about Bormann," "Stirlitz now and again returned to the only weighty fact which he got, while talking once to Schellenberg." "The latter said:" "Shaking hands with the Reichsfuhrer," "Bormann is at the same time laying a trap for him." "You may expect anything from this man." "Stirlitz made a decision to stake on Bormann, firstly, because he figured out Himmler's stand, who had betrayed his Fuhrer, going into negotiations with Dulles, and, secondly, because he could stake on nobody else." "Neither Göring, nor Goebbels had real power." "So, Hitler's shadow" "Martin Bormann." "It was this man, Martin Bormann, who got by the SD secret mail a letter stamped Top secret, to be opened personally which ran:" "Partaigenosse Bormann!" "Behind the Fuhrer's back, some people known to me start playing a game with the envoys of rotten" "Western democracies in Sweden and Switzerland." "It's all being done while the total war is underway." "And while on the battlefields the world's future is being decided." "Being an SD officer I could inform you of certain details of these treacherous negotiations." "But I need some guarantees, as, if the SD gets hold of this letter," "I'll be destroyed right away." "For this reason I'm sending this letter unsigned." "If you find my information of consequence, I ask you to come to the Neues Tor hotel tomorrow at 1 p.m." "Loyal to the Fuhrer Nazi Party member." "Good morning, Reichsleiter Bormann's office." "Good morning, Mr. Ribbentrop." "The Reichsleiter is in conference with the army men now." "I'll put you through in 10 minutes." "In 30." "What is it?" "A provocation?" " Bormann thought." " Hardly." "Written by a sick man?" "No." "It's not it, either." "Looks like to be true." "His first impulse was to call the Gestapo chief Mueller." "He knew that Mueller owed him one." "But what if the author of this letter is from the Gestapo?" "And Mueller is also involved in this game?" "Rats are abandoning the sinking ship, anything is possible." "Anyway, it may turn out a trump card against Himmler." "Then I'll manage," " Bormann thought, - calmly, ignoring this bastard, to transfer all the party money to my people's accounts, and not his." "Bormann pondered for quite a while but didn't come to any definite decision." "03. 02. 1945 (11 hours 40 minutes)" "Stirlitz was on his way to meet Bormann." "God knows why he was sure Bormann would come." "When in trouble, he thought, they get very complaisant." "Stirlitz made another circle to check if he was being followed." "If he'd been tailed, he got rid of them." "Hi, pal, you're here." "It's been a long time." "I'm so glad." "Do come in." "Enjoy your beer." "Today we offer Bavarian." "This way." "Here." "Read the recent news." "Today the news is good." "Bring beer here!" "Another customer has come." "War or no war - if it comes to Bavarian beer, everyone is here." "On crouches, but they still come, and it goes on from day to day!" "Hi, buddy!" "Paul, you're a huge soap bubble, that's what you are!" "As I see, you haven't grown skinny either." "You've come." "Glad to see you." "Come on in." "Go and drink your beer." "Today we offer Bavarian." "But I prefer vodka." "Never mind, have some beer, won't do you any harm." "Bring beer here!" "They've been tailing me." "Yes, they've been tailing me." "If they start tailing me again, it means, something's wrong." "But what could've happened?" "What could've happened?" "Stirlitz kept on asking himself." "He didn't expect any radio contacts, so there couldn't be any slip here." "Some old stuff?" "They have no time to deal with the new one." "Hold." "Erwin." "And what if they found the transmitter?" "Hi, old pal." "He made a mistake." "He should've searched all the hospitals." "What if they're injured?" "He shouldn't have relied on phones." "I need to check on it myself." "And urgently, today." "Nobody was tailing him now." "Stirlitz thought:" "Maybe it's my imagination?" "Maybe, Schellenberg decided to probe me before the operation with Schlagg?" "Or, maybe, it's just nerves." "Through this park he was to get to another street, to the Museum of Natural History." "He walked through the park on the  hospital premises, and was unaware that it was exactly the place where Kathe was staying now." "On this square, by the Neues Tor hotel, an hour later he was to meet Bormann." "He'd picked this place on purpose." "From here you could see clearly in any direction." "It was calm and quiet on the square." "However, Stirlitz thought they could place their men in the hotel." "If Bormann had informed Himmler, that's exactly what would be done." "Otherwise Bormann's people would be hanging about here, by the entrance on the opposite side." "Stirlitz came here rather often." "In the Reich Security Department they knew that he often made appointments with his agents at museums." "The curator, who'd been here for many years and was, no doubt, an informant, knew him in person." "It suited Stirlitz very well." "He had 20 minutes before the meeting." "Agent Klaus was supposed to come here to meet him right now." "In the morning he sent a coded message at his address via the secretariat." "An express telegram, please." "I want my agent to meet me at 12:40." "Your watch is 2 minutes slow." "Since all knew that he met his agents at museums, this telegram could serve as an excuse, should anyone wondered why he was here." "By inviting Klaus he pursued two goals." "Primarily - it was an alibi, in case Bormann told Himmler of the letter, and the latter gave an order to comb the neighborhood and all the buildings." "And secondly - to confirm once more, though indirectly, his alibi in the case Klaus was missing." "But it didn't work as Stirlitz had planned." "Bormann never showed up." "Probably, Bormann didn't get the letter, Stirlitz thought, and for this reason didn't come?" "Meanwhile Bormann was in the meeting with the Fuhrer." "It was not on his agenda to go to the Neues Tor hotel." "He desperately wanted to see the man, who'd written the letter, but decided not to rush the events and to wait." "If it's serious this man will definitely let know of himself again, Bormann thought." "Go down carefully." "Quick." "Don't make any noise." "Be quiet." "V-192 - to Mueller." "Top secret, available in one copy." "The owner of the Mercedes-Benz at 12:27 entered the building of the Museum of Natural History." "Since you'd warned of the high professional skills of the subject under surveillance" "I decided against following him in the museum by one or two visitors..." "My agent llze was assigned a mission to bring there some students for a class in the museum halls." "The information, provided by llze, allows me to report that the subject came in contact with no strangers." "V-192." "Mueller speaking." "Herr Schellenberg is greeting Herr Mueller." "Or do you prefer ?" "I'd prefer just ." "Categorical, modest and in good taste." "I'm listening to you, buddy." "Yeah, and straight to the point, or he'll evade the answer, he's like a fox." "Buddy, I'm having here Stirlitz now." "You remember him, right?" "So much the better." "He feels kind of confused." "Either he's being followed by criminals, and he lives all by himself in a forest, or it's your men who are tailing him." "Help me to undo this mess." "What model is his car?" "What model is your car?" " Mercedes-Benz." " Mercedes-Benz." "Don't cover the receiver with your hand." "Give the receiver to Stirlitz." "Are you a clairvoyant or what?" "Hail Hitler." "Good day, buddy." "Tell me, is your car license number 661125 by any chance?" "Right, Gruppenfuhrer." "Where did they start tailing you?" "On Kurfurstendam?" "And where did you lose them?" "On Veteranenstrasse?" "Exactly." "You noticed them, didn't you?" "And what do you think?" "I'll wring their necks." "A good job they are doing!" "Relax, Stirlitz, those who followed you, aren't criminals." "Live comfortably in your forest." "They were our men." "They're tailing a , similar to yours, of a South-American." "Keep on living as you used to." "But if they mix you up with this South-American again and report to me that you frequent the  bar," "I'm not going to cover for you." "But if I need to go there for my work?" "Doesn't matter." "If you want to make appointments with your men in foul places, better go to the ." "To the ?" "Thank you." "It was Mueller's tricky place." "The counter-espionage operated there." "Stirlitz knew about it from Schellenberg." "There was a special instruction, forbidding party members and the military to go there." "That's why naive braggers thought they were absolutely safe there, unaware that every table was tapped by the Gestapo." "Okay, thank you then." "If you sanction it, I'm going to have meetings in the  then." "But if I am cornered, I'll come to you for help." "Welcome." "I'll be always glad to see you." "Hail Hitler." "Stirlitz didn't believe Mueller." "Anyway, in the evening, going on some important business, he called for an office car." "Werner- to Mueller." "Top secret." "Available in one copy." "Today at 19:42 the subject called for an office car, Wanderer 956183." "The subject asked the driver to drop him at the  station." "There he got out of the car." "The attempt to track down the subject at other stations yielded no result." "Werner." "Never thought I'd be missing you." "I don't know what's your occupation," "I only know that you were my late brother's friend." "But I have always enjoyed your company, Mister Stirlitz." "Thank you." "This way." " Are you freezing here?" " Right." "Freezing to death." "But what can be done?" "Who isn't freezing now, I wonder." "Hitler's bunker is heated up very well." "That's for sure." "The Fuhrer must live in warmth." "How is it possible to compare our concerns to his concerns and worries?" "Who are we?" "We are just we, everyone for himself." "But he must care about all the Germans." "Come on, Professor." "The crazy maniac pushed millions of people under bombs, and he himself stays, like a coward, in a hideout watching movies together with his thugs." "Do you agree?" "So, here we are." "Your brother and my friend was an antifascist," "a member of the underground organization." "For many years he headed the Resistance group." "He helped me." "You never asked me about my occupation." "I'm an SS Standartenfuhrer and I'm in military intelligence, too." "No, no, and again no." "My brother couldn't be a provocateur, I don't believe you." "He had never been it, but as for me, I'm really in military intelligence." "In the Soviet military intelligence." "Do you remember your brother's handwriting well?" "Sure." "This is your brother's death-letter to me." "My dear friend." "Thank you for everything." "I've learned a lot from you." "I've learned how to love and how in the name of this love to hate all those who are bringing slavery to the people of Germany." "Pleischner." "He wrote in this manner, fearing the Gestapo." "But, as you understand, slavery is being brought to German people by hordes of Bolsheviks and by armadas of Americans, isn't it so?" "Or, probably, it's Hitler who brought slavery to you?" "And the Nazis?" "Stirlitz regretted he had said all this, and regretted he'd come to the poor man with his business." "But why my business?" "he thought." "It's mainly their, the Germans', business." "Which means it's his business." "Too." "I'm just doing theirjob for them." "I understand." "Now I understand it all." "You can fully rely on me." "But I was in a concentration camp." "I must warn you, as soon as they hit me in my ribs with a whip," "I may break." "I know." "What did you feel when I told you about myself?" "Relief, big relief." "Then we'll do the job." "And do it very well." "What am I supposed to do?" "Nothing." "Just live on." "And any minute be ready to do what's required of you..." "For whom?" " For Germany," " For whom?" "I mean Germany, not the Reich." "You must agree, there's a world of difference between these two notions." "Absolutely." "Italy." "Emergency military airport ." "If they shoot you down, in war everything is possible, you are to burn this letter before you unbuckle the parachute straps." "I won't be able to burn the letter before I unbuckle the parachute straps, as I'll be dragged against the ground." "But first thing I'll do after I unbuckle the straps, I'll burn this letter." "Let's agree on this option." "Here's the letter." "You're to destroy it even if you're shot down above the Reichstag." "Karl Wolf had reasonable grounds for fear." "Should the letter get in somebody else's, not Himmler's, hands, his fate would have been decided." "Seven hours later the letter was unsealed by Himmler." "Dear Reichsfuhrer." "Shortly after I arrived in Bern," "I set down to sorting out the data collected by the secret agents here, at Allen Dulles' representation in Bern," "I made one major conclusion." "Dulles, as well as we're, is worried about the real perspective of creating Communist regimes in Northern Italy, which will result in forming a communist belt via Togliatti to Maurice Thorez in France." "I've just got back from the meeting with Dulles' envoys" "Gewernitz and Guesmann." "Tomorrow, on Thursday, March 8, there'll be held a meeting with Dulles." "03.08. 1945 (15 hours 30 minutes)" "Bern." "The USA Special Office mansion." "Fabulous contralto." "I'd say, Italian voices are the best in the world." "What?" "I'm saying that Italians have very special voices." "Either due to the sea, note, a warm sea, in Germany the sea is cold, or it's... the Italian sky." "It's kind of mystical." "It seems, this clock is slow." " No, it shows the right time." " Really?" "Then it's my watch that is fast." "2 minutes fast." "I hate to wait." "And you?" " When I have to..." " Wonderful contralto." " How do you do?" " Good day." " Did you have breakfast?" " Yes, thank you." "This way, please." "Allen Dulles - resident of the US Strategic Services Agency in Europe." "What a beautiful day, isn't it?" "Yes, very beautiful." "Another of our men is due to come here now, and then we'll start." "He'll be here any minute." "General, do you realize that Germany has lost this war?" "Yes, I do." "I understand that Germany has lost this war." "But should we start these negotiations with such a painful for me, a German, auto-da-fe?" "Do you understand that unconditional capitulation can serve as the practical basis for these talks?" "I do." "I understand it." "However, in case you wish to talk with us on Himmler's behalf, these talks will break up without having started." "Mister Dulles will be forced to take his leaving." "I reckon, that to continue this war is a crime against both the Germans and the European culture, especially now, when we made certain moves towards negotiations." "You." "We." "Both America and Germany." "I'm ready to place my organization at your disposal, it's the most powerful organization in Germany, the SS and the SD, at your disposal, at your allies' disposal, with the only purpose to stop the war" "and to ensure that communist regimes are not established either in Italy or Germany." "I can assume, that prior to these discussions with me and to giving an agreement to launch official negotiations, though they are kind of secret, you made inquiries and came to know that in Germany my rank is" "an SS Obergruppenfuhrer." "And I'm holding the position of the Head of Reichsfuhrer Himmler's private headquarters." "General, you just said that you're placing the SS and the SD at our disposal." "Do you mean to say that you'll get to grips with the Vermacht and with Field-Marshal Kesselring in particular?" "Or will Field-Marshal Kesselring carry out your orders?" "I understand what you mean." "I understand you, Mister Gewernitz." "But I need your guarantees, so that tomorrow I could begin discussing it with Field-Marshal Kesselring in detail and thoroughly." "Okay, it sounds reasonable." "But you have to understand that as soon as Kesselring issues an order to capitulate here, in Italy, where we have over 1.5 million people under control, it will start a chain reaction on the other fronts." "I mean the Western front in Norway, in Denmark, in the West of Germany." "Thus on the Eastern front line the struggle can continue with the growing force." "If I have your guarantees," "I'm prepared to pledge myself to prevent the destruction of Italy." "And it has already been planned by Hitler's order." "We have an order to annihilate all picture galleries, and all landmarks." "In other words, to level to the ground what belongs to the history of mankind." "At the risk to my life" "I've already rescued and taken to hiding-places paintings from the Uffizi and Pati galleries," "King Victor Emmanuel's collection of coins." "Do you have Titian, El Greco, Botticelli there?" "Right, El Greco, Botticelli." "How much can it cost in dollar equivalent?" "They have no price." "These masterpieces are priceless." "I'm ready to deal with you, General Wolf." "But you must give me your guarantees." "Firstly, you won't contact anybody else, but me." "I guess, I don't need to say it twice." "The fact of our negotiations is to be known only to those present here now - to you, me," "your man and my friends." "In this case we'll hardly be able to call a truce, Mr. Dulles." "Since you're not President of the United States of America and I'm not Chancellor of Germany." "Tell me, Allen, shall I report to the President or will you do it?" "So far there's no need to report to the President." "Don't take your eyes off the road, Guesmann." "We can fall down, and it'll be a pity." "The war is coming to an end." "To act against the President's line?" "It's the first time I feel like a criminal." "The first time in my whole life." "And you, Guesmann?" " It might cost us our heads." " Sure." "Every single day, every hour, every minute can cost us our heads." "We'll inform of it just our chief, Donovan." "And see what decision he will make." "Anyway, the only chance to rescue Europe from Bolshevism is to call a truce with the Germans quickly, without any further delay and without losing time on politicians." "And what about Russians?" "Russians?" "When the document is signed, when it comes into force, they can say whatever they wish, it can't be undone." "Let's wait and see." "In politics it's the first move, firmness, resolution, a clear-cut goal that matter." "The rest the future will forgive us." "03.08.1945 (17 hours 10 minutes)" "Today, on March 8, the troops of the 53rd Army of the 2nd Ukrainian Front in Czechoslovakia liberated the town of Banska Stavnitsa." "The armies of the 3rd Ukrainian Front kept on resisting enemy massive tank and infantry forces attacks." "At Lake Balaton." "In the battles at Lake Balaton the squad leader of the 1288th infantry regiment of the 113th infantry division of the 3rd Ukrainian Front" "Guards Sergeant Smyshlyayev had blown up an enemy tank and died the death of hero." "In the battles at Lake Balaton, the unit leader of 239th destructive anti-tank detachment of the 113th infantry division of the 3rd Ukrainian Front" "Junior Sergeant Nelyubin had blown up an enemy tank and died the death of hero." "Today was published the Communist Party Central Committee decree on March 8 - the International Women's Day." "Stressing the great role of the Soviet women in the Great Patriotic War, the Central Committee expressed its belief that by new heroic feats both in the rear and on the front line they will bring closer the hour of our ultimate victory." "Today it was also published that on February 1, 1945 the Presidium of the USSR Supreme Soviet decorated with orders and medals" "72,196 women-soldiers of the Red Army." "44 women-soldiers were awarded the title of the Hero of the Soviet Union." "Armies of the 2nd Byelorussian Front are advancing successfully to Danzig." "Good evening, Pastor." "Sorry, I'm so late." "Were you sleeping?" "Good evening." "I was sleeping, but never mind." " Sorry again." " I've already forgiven you." "I'll just put on the light there." "Has anything happened?" "Right." "It has."

"Has anything happened?" "It has." "This way." " Thank you." "Where can I sit?" " Here." "Pastor, who has been living with you for the past few days?" "What's this?" "An interrogation?" "No." " So it means, I may not answer?" " You must answer." "What if I refuse?" " You won't." " Why?" "When you answer, I'll explain to you why." "One man has been living with me." " Who is he?" " I don't know." " Did he tell you his name?" " No." "Did you ask him?" "No, I didn't." "He begged for shelter." "He was in poor shape." "I couldn't turn him out." "That's good that you are lying to me so confidently." "He told you he was a Marxist." "You argued with him as with a communist." "He's not a communist, Pastor, and has never been one." "He's my agent, and he's a Gestapo provocateur." "I see..." "I talked with him as with a human." "I don't care whether he's a communist or your agent." "He begged to rescue him, so I couldn't refuse him." "You couldn't refuse him." "And you don't care whether he's a communist or a Gestapo agent." "And what if concrete people go to the gallows, because you care for some abstraction." "Is that important to you?" "Definitely." "That's important to me." "And to be still more concrete, the first ones to go to the gallows will be your sister and her kids - is that important to you?" "It's ultimate evil." "But to say that you don't care who's in front of you - a communist or a Gestapo agent - is by far a bigger evil." "And this kind of evil is dogmatic, therefore exceptionally dreadful." "Sit down and listen to me." "Your conversation with my agent was taped." "No, it's his work, not mine." "I don't know what's happened to him." "He sent me a strange letter." "And besides, they won't believe him without the tape, which I destroyed." "As for your sister, she'll be arrested as soon as you cross the border of Switzerland." "But I don't intend to cross the border of Switzerland." "You shall cross it." "And I'll see to it that your sister is out of danger." "You're like a were-wolf." "It's hard to trust you." "You're so many-faced." "You have no choice, so trust me." "You will cross the border of Switzerland to save your relatives, won't you?" "I will." "I'll go there to save their lives." "Why don't you ask what you are to do in Switzerland?" "If I ask you to blow up a kirch, you will refuse to go, right?" "You're a smart man, and, no doubt, you've calculated what's in my power, and what's beyond me." "Right." "Are you sorry for Germany?" "I'm sorry for the Germans." "Okay." "Do you think that the urgent peace is a way out for the Germans?" "It's a way out for Germany." "That's sophistry, Pastor." "It's a way out for the Germans, for Germany, for mankind." "We don't fear death." "We've had our day." "And besides, we are just lonely aging men." "And what about kids?" "I'm listening to you." "What names can you give of your old friends you know from the anti-war movement?" "The dictatorship needs pacifists?" "No, the dictatorship doesn't need any pacifists." "They're needed by those who can sensibly evaluate the moment, realizing that every day of war brings new victims and senseless ones." "Will Hitler enter into negotiations?" "Hitler won't enter into negotiations, there're other people... who will." "But it's a premature talk." "First I need to have guarantees that there you'll contact the people, who'll help you enter into negotiations with the envoys of western states." "Who can help you do it?" "Will the figure of the President of the Swiss Republic suit you?" "No." "That's not it." "These are official channels." "It's not serious." "I'm interested in the clergy who carry weight in the world." "The clergy, all of them, carry weight in this world." "I have many friends there." "I..." "On my part it would be naive to give promises, but I hope I'll manage to discuss this question with influential people." "Let's take the former Minister Krauze." "The West respects him." "However, I'll be asked there whom I represent." "The Germans." "If they ask you who exactly will conduct negotiations, you ask them who exactly will conduct them on behalf of the West." " It's via the contacts, I'll give you." " Via what?" "We'll discuss all the details later." "Now it's important to reach a principal agreement." "And where's the guarantee that my sister and her kids won't go to the gallows?" "Haven't I released you from jail?" "Yes, you have." "Do you think it was easy?" "I don't think it was." "What do you think, having in my hands the tape of your talk with the provocateur, where you're criticizing the Fuhrer, could I send you to the stove?" "Absolutely." "So you've got my answer." "Your sister will be safe as long as you do what the duty of a man mourning the Germans, old people and kids orders you to do." "Is it a threat?" "No, just a warning." "If you act in a different way," "I'll be powerless to save your sister." "When should it all happen?" "As soon as it's needed." "And when can it be needed?" "Soon." "And the final thing." "If anybody asks you about our conversation..." "I'm not going to say a word." "I want to believe you." "Which of the two of us is risking more now?" "And what do you think?" "I guess, you're risking more." "Right." "Are you sincere in your desire to find peace for the Germans?" "I am." "Have you had this brainwave to grant peace to people quite recently?" "What can I say..." "It's hard to be honest to the end, Pastor." "And the more honest my answer is, the bigger liar I may appear to you." "This mission... of mine." "What precisely am I supposed to do?" "I can't steal documents or shoot from round the corner." "Firstly, it doesn't take long to learn it." "And secondly, I don't ask you to shoot from round the corner." "Your contacts may come in handy." "You'll tell your friends that Himmler, via a certain envoy of his," "I'll give the name later, is provoking the West." "You will explain to them that this man of Himmler's can't desire peace." "You'll prove to them that this man is a provocateur, lacking weight even in the SS." "You'll explain to them that it's notjust silly but ridiculous to go into negotiations with this man." "You'll stress once again, that's it's sheer madness to enter into negotiations with the SS, with Himmler." "You will say to your friends that they need to go into negotiations with other people." "And you will give them the names of influential," "honest and daring people." "But all in good time." "We're going to talk about it later." "Is there anybody else in the house apart from the servants?" "No servants either." "My sister and her kids went away to our relatives in the country." " Can I check the house?" " Welcome." "03.08.1945 (19 hours 10 minutes)" " Good evening, Mister Bolzen." " Good evening." "Your cigarettes." "Here you go." "A bottle of champagne here, please." " Here you are." " Thank you." "I'm listening to you." "Good evening, Doctor Bolzen." "Good evening, Frau Zaurich." "Frau Zaurich, I have an idea." "Yes?" "I will go and fetch chess." "No, don't do it, please." "You see, I have some ham at home." " What do you have?" " Some excellent ham." " You're kidding." " I am not." "And I want to invite you to my place for this ham." "Oh, my..." " And what about Gabi?" " Is Gabi here today?" "Oh, my..." "Gabi!" "Gabi, come here." "We're going to Mr. Bolzen's place for dinner." "I'm waiting for you in the car." "That's great." "That's great, Gabi, right?" "And now I'll play a different piece." "Dedication, by Schumann." "Okay, I'll play it now." "Such a wonderful evening we're having!" "Right." "Gabi." "How I wish I could one day do something nice for you, Mr. Bolzen." "Then tell me my fortune." "Your fortune?" "What would you like to know?" "Well, let's say... when will the war end?" "It's already over." "Really?" "In a sense, yes." "If we'd realized it sooner, it would've been better for us all." "And don't you think so?" "At any rate I didn't say it to you." "I'd better play for you, and you dance." "Haven't seen people dance for so long." "I'm ready." "I often ask myself why you're so gentle with Frau Zaurich?" "She says that you remind her of her elder son." "Maybe she reminds you of your mother?" "Then why?" "It's just that out of all humans living on earth" "I like old people and kids best of all." "I see." "I don't belong to either group." "No, Gabi." "03. 10. 1945 (09 hours 45 minutes)" "Duty Doctor." "If she asks you to call somewhere or send a note, call me right away at work, at home, it doesn't matter, and any time." "And if she has any visitors, call this number." "It's within 3 minutes from you." "And under any pretext hold up this visitor." "Just under any." "Good morning, Frau Kien." "How are things?" "How's the little one?" "Thank you." "He started to cry." "So I relaxed." "I was scared that since I was shell-shocked, something might be wrong with his voice." "But the doctors examined him, and there's nothing wrong." "Thank God." "Poor kids." "So much suffering for babies just entering this world, this tough world." " And I have news for you." " Good one?" "In our time all news is bad, but for you, it's sooner good than bad news." "Thank you very much, I'll never forget your kindness." "That's OK." "Tell me, how's your head?" "Better." "Anyway, I don't feel so giddy and I don't have those exhaustive fits of sickness." "Those are the symptoms of concussion." "Right." "But for my mane, the boy might've never been born." "This mane cushioned the blow of that metal beam." "Come on, why a mane?" "You have fabulous hair." "I admired it so much during my first visitation." "Did you use any special shampoos?" "Yes, I did." "My uncle sent me from Sweden" "Iranian henna and first-class American shampoos." "By the way, about your uncle." "Does he have a telephone in Stockholm?" "I really don't remember." "It seems, my husband didn't call there." "Our company will arrange a telephone talk with your uncle as soon as the doctors permit you to get up." "Those Swedish neutrals roll in money, and he's obliged to help you." "You'll let him hear in the receiver how the baby is crying, and he'll melt." "And now listen to this." "I arranged it with the executives of our firm." "We'll make our first payment one of these days, without double- checking the sum of your insurance." "But on the condition you give us the names of two collaterals." "Of who?" "Of two people who could guarantee..." "I'm sorry, I'm just a clerk, don't get mad at me." "Who could guarantee your honesty." "Once again I beg you to understand me correctly." "Who on earth can guarantee this?" "Don't you have any friends?" "Such friends?" "I don't think so." "Okay, do you have any people you know?" "People, who could confirm that they knew your husband." "Know." "Is he alive?" "Yes, he is." "Where is he then?" "Has he been here?" "No." "He's in the hospital." "I believe that he's alive." "I searched for him." " In all hospitals?" " Right." "And in military ones, too?" "Why do you think he might be in a military hospital?" "He's a war invalid, an officer, isn't he?" "He was unconscious, and he could be taken to any military hospital." "Now I don't worry about you." "You're thinking quite clearly and definitely getting better." "Very soon you'll need to go out, the boy needs fresh air." "In our time fresh air is the best remedy." "Meanwhile give me the names of some of your friends, your husband's friends." "Sir, try to speak to the retired general Fritz Nusch." "He lives in Ransdorf." "He's my husband's old acquaintance." "I pray to God that he would remain kind to us." "Fritz Nusch." "Ransdorf." "Do you remember the name of the street?" "No, I don't." "They may refuse to give a general's address in the address bureau." "He's very old, he's not any longer in the army, he's over 80." "And what about his head?" "What do you mean?" "I'm afraid, maybe, he's sclerotic." "These geezers are the cause of all the harm in the world." "Oh, come on, sir, the general is so kind." "Okay, who else?" "Try... to contact Frau..." "Aihelbrenner." "She lives in Potsdam." "Kmellitse Street, in her own house." "Thank you." "That's already something." "I'll try to make these people your collaterals." "And one more thing." "Your concierge identified two of the bags they found as yours." "Yes, tomorrow in the morning I'll come here together with him, and we'll open these bags in his and in your doctor's presence." "Maybe, you'll give instructions right on the spot." "I'll exchange the unnecessary stuff for the things for our little one." "Thank you." "God will repay your kindness." "God never forgets kind deeds." " Are you a Lutheran?" " No, I'm not." "My family has always belonged to the Catholic church..." "And I'm a Lutheran." "But it doesn't matter." "What matters is to have God in your soul." "And, finally, the last thing." "Please, sign this request to make the first payment to you right away." "Here, please." "Thank you." "I wish you a quick recovery." "And kiss your giant for me." "This was Erwin's bag." "He could recognize it out of a thousand." "The radio transmitter was kept in it." "Stirlitz didn't know why he went after these people." "He didn't know what his next move would be." "He didn't know that in the lab Kathe's fingerprints had been found not only on the outer side of he bag." "Her fingerprints were found on the frequency panel, and on the black ebonite earphones." "Put it over there." "Top secret." "Personal file on Jurgenn Rolf," "SS Sturmbanfuhrer (4th Depart." "Of the Reich Security)" "Reference on Jurgenn Rolf, Nazi Party member since 1934." "SS Sturmbanfuhrer." "A true Aryan." "Of Nordic character, brave." "Maintains good relations with his colleagues." "Irreproachable in performing his duty." "Merciless towards the Reich's enemies." "An excellent athlete." "An excellent family man." "No discrediting liaisons." "Holder of the Reichsfuhrer's decorations." "You're what, getting ready to evacuate?" "No, it's a radio transmitter." "Collecting them?" "And where's the owner?" "It's a lady-owner." "You may go." "I think, the owner is dead." "And the lady-owner is in the hospital with a newly born baby." "A newly born baby would be the last straw for us." "Besides, this bitch is off her head." "What are you going to do?" "You can't question her." "Not in this condition." "As for me, I think it's the most suitable condition for questioning." "And we usually drag it out, wait for God knows what." "The chief blockhead from the department showed her a photo of the bags." "Asked if she could identify her belongings." "She won't escape." "Her baby is there, and no visitors are allowed into the children's section." "I don't think she can run away and abandon her baby." "However..." "God only knows." "I decided to bring her here today." "Sounds reasonable." "Did you put guards there?" "We need to keep an eye on possible contacts." "We put our nurse there and replaced the janitor by our man." "Why then bring her here?" "You'll spoil the whole game." "What if she starts seeking contact?" "I'm in two minds myself." "I'm afraid she'll come to her senses." "You know those Russians, don't you?" "You need to take them while they're lax and weak." "Why do you think she's Russian?" "That's what brought it all about." "While in labor, she yelled in Russian." "And where is she now?" "In the  clinic." "So it'll take just 10 minutes to bring her here." "Grab her quickly." "Though... we can spoil the whole game." "And it can be an interesting game, if she starts seeking contacts." "You think their people are not combing all the hospitals for her?" "As for this option, we haven't checked it yet." "I'm giving it to you." "Not too late to start working on it now." "See you." "Good luck." "It's an interesting case." "Very interesting." "The main thing is not to rush it." "Don't report to the big bosses, they'll force you to rush it." "Okay." "Why did I come to you?" "What a sclerotic idiot I've become." "I wanted to ask you for a sedative." "Everybody knows you have effective Swedish soporific." "That's true." "It's the last phrase, that's normally remembered." "Stirlitz deduced it for himself like a mathematical proof." "It's important how you go into the conversation you need, and the art of going out of it is by far more important." "Now, if Rolf was asked who came to him and why, he would be sure to answer that it was Stirlitz, who came to him and asked for a Swedish sedative." "Rolf supplied half of the department with sedatives." "His uncle was a chemist." "Brigadefuhrer, I'd better pretend sick, but I'm really sick, and take 10 days off to go to a sanatorium, or I'll crack." "What's happened?" "What's wrong with you?" "Don't panic, but I think we're all under Mueller's watchful eye." "What's happened?" "Yesterday this idiotic incident with tailing on Friedrichstrasse, today - something even worse." "They find a Russian with a transmitter, who's apparently been very active." "I've been hunting for this transmitter for 8 months, but God knows why the case has been handed to Rolf, who knows of radio games as much as a rabbit of geometry." "No." "Don't do it." "It'll start the usual fight between the intelligence and counter-espionage." "Give me your sanction." "I'll go and bring this Russian to us and conduct the first interrogation." "Maybe, it's self-delusion, but I'll do it better than Rolf." "Then it'll be okay to hand her over to him." "For me it's business that comes first, not ambitions." "Go, and I'll call the Reichsfuhrer." "Maybe, it's better to go to him?" "I hate these under-carpet games..." "Go and do what you're supposed to do." "And then we'll talk about the pastor." "We'll need him in 2-3 days." " I can't do two things at a time." " Yes, you can." "A secret agent either gives in at once or doesn't give in at all, except for some rare cases when Mueller's thugs apply their special methods." "The picture will become clear in the first 2-3 hours." "If she doesn't speak, we'll hand her over to Mueller and let them be up against it." "But if she does, it'll be to our credit and we'll get the better of Mueller." "Go." "03.10.1945 (14 hours 20 minutes)" " Bring Frau Kien's clothes, please." " Okay." "And you see to it there's nobody in the hallway." "Frau Kien, get ready." "You've lost the game." "A secret agent must know how to lose with dignity." "I know you'll be denying everything, but it's silly." "We've intercepted your 40 coded radio messages." "Now they'll bring you your clothes and you'll go with me." "I guarantee life to you and to your child, if you agree to cooperate with us." "If you show no will to cooperate I can't guarantee you anything." "Will you get out while I'm getting dressed?" "I'll turn away and go on speaking, and you will be thinking what to answer me." "I'm not going to answer you anything." "I have nothing to answer." "Actually, I don't get what's going on." "I'm too weak." "I think it's a mistake, and it'll be soon cleared up." "My husband is an officer, a war invalid." "1" "Come on, we have your transmitter." "And your messages." "They've been deciphered." "This is evidence, which you can not deny." "From you we require just one thing - your consent to cooperate with us." "And I strongly advise you to agree to my proposal." "And, firstly, to tell us all you know." "No matter how little you know." "And, secondly, to accept my offer" "and promptly, within these 2-3 days, start working for us." "Stirlitz spoke abruptly, distinctly and loudly, so that those who might listen to him could hear him well." "He tried to give Kathe a hint that main things would be said later." "He saw that Kathe understood it and waited." "But to say what was to determine their next moves, to say it now, Stirlitz could not." "Nor in the car did he feel like talking about it." "God knows why he got scared that his car had been bugged." "So he would have a chance to say the key words only in the hallway." "He'd have about 2minutes, he calculated it while going here, to the ward." "The baby is ready." "It's hard for you to carry the baby, I can carry him into the car." "That's OK, Frau Kien will carry the baby herself." "All right." "And you see to it there are no patients in the hallway." "Listen to me, my girl, listen very carefully." "They are going to give you information for the center." "Bargain, demand guarantees, demand that the baby be with you." "Give in when it comes to the baby." "They might be recording us, so stick to this scenario when I question you." "You don't know the cipher." "Our messages haven't been deciphered." "Erwin was the decipher." "And you are just a radio operator." "And I will take care of the rest." "Erwin went to meet the resident in the area of Kainstrasse and Ransdorf." "But who he is, you don't know." "Say:" "A Foreign Office man came to Erwin." "In the car I'll show you his photo." "Got it?" "This man from the Foreign Office was the Eastern department councilor Haintz Kortner." "He was killed in a car crash a week ago." "It was a false lead." "Checking on this lead, the Gestapo would inevitably lose 10-15 days." "And now even one day counted." "Here you are." "Take the prisoner to room 15." "I'll be questioning her there." "The prisoner - to room 15." "Come in." "In two hours Rolf would be reporting to Mueller that the Russian radio operator disappeared from the clinic." "Two departments of the local police would be put on high alert." "The nurse on duty and the ward nurse would be arrested." "And in another hour Schellenberg would call Mueller." "Hi, buddy." "Good evening." "Excuse me." "Hold on, please." "It's important that trying to find you, they'll have to come to me." "It's the second point." "Yes, I'm listening to you." "Stirlitz has a surprise for us all." "He brought the Russian radio operator, who agreed to work for us." "Mueller knew that." "He'd been sweating for already 90 minutes comparing the transcript of the first interrogation of the Russian radio girl to the tape that his service, which was in constant rivalry with Schellenberg's department, had obtained." "The Reichsfuhrer congratulated him on this success." "In fact, Stirlitz was laying all on the line." "He realized that the cipher had not been cracked yet." "It was practically impossible to crack it, as it was his personal code and the Gestapo had no key to it." "The messages sent to Stirlitz from the Center had another key, which the radio operator might not know." "It was the decipherer's responsibility, who kept quiet because he was buried under the ruins of the house." "At the interrogation he and Kathe played their parts well." "However, Stirlitz kept on asking himself, if he had a right to bring Kathe here, to prison," "Katherine Kien," "Katya Kozlova?" "Yes, he could've taken her to Babelsberg, could've found her an apartment and provided her with a new ID." "That would've meant that by saving Kathe's life he had deliberately doomed to failure the operation, which this way or the other could be of consequence for the future of Europe." "He realized that after abducting Kathe from the hospital all the Gestapo would be raised in general alarm." "And if she managed to escape, all the tracks would lead to him." "So he, too, would have to go underground." "That was synonymous to failure." "If he were sure that Katya would be under his control all the time and Mueller wouldn't lay his hands on her, he wouldn't have been so worried and wouldn't have asked himself this one question - was he right or not." "He would've placed her in a secret radio-flat under the SS guard." "And when an opportunity turned up he would've arranged for" "Kathe and her baby to disappear, and nobody could've tracked her down." "Probably, later he could've arranged for" "Kathe and her baby to disappear, and nobody could've tracked her down." "Though even now, regardless of the desperate situation on the front, and regardless of the huge masses of refugees in the center of the country, the Gestapo continued to operate very efficiently." "Every other man gave information against his neighbor, while the latter in his turn pointed his finger at the informant." "Only a very naive person, unfamiliar with the structure of the German secret police, could think it was possible to escape in this general chaos." "Don't be mad, it's our common cause, and its the outcome that counts." "Does it really matter who'll be praised and be given a candy?" "I don't like sweets." "Let's get back to the tape." "I have to admit, this Stirlitz is very proficient." "Listen to how well he's coached her." "Needless to repeat to you this textbook truth, that in Moscow this arrest will mean a verdict to you." "A person, who got to the Gestapo, must die." "And the one, who left the Gestapo alive, is labeled a traitor, right?" "That's in the first place." "I'm not going to ask you the names of the agents who remain at large." "That's not so important." "Looking for you, they'll come to me, that's the second point." "And thirdly." "You understand that as a human and as a Reich officer, I can't but feel sorry for you." "I realize how much you will suffer if we're forced to place your baby in an orphanage." "The kid will be deprived of his mother forever." "Get me right, it's not a threat." "Even if I was against doing it, I've got my superiors." "I can't ignore the order, I'm a soldier, and my country is at war with yours." "And, finally, fourthly." "At one time we received copies of your movies, shot in Alma-Ata by Moscow film studios." "Germans are depicted as fools in them." "If it's really so, why were we at the Kremlin gates and on the Volga, if we're such idiots?" "You're right." "But now the Red Army troops are at Berlin's gates." "Right." "When we were at the Kremlin gates, you believed you would get to Berlin." "Likewise, we're now convinced we'll soon get back to the Kremlin." "But let's drop it." "I'm telling you this for the only reason that our decipherers are not that dumb, and they've cracked much of your cipher." "And our man can replace you as a radio operator." "Your radio operator is ignorant of my hand." "However, in the center they know my hand very well." "Right, but we have your messages recorded on the tape." "We can teach our man your hand and he'll take your place." "It'll compromise you to the end." "Your homeland will never forgive you, we both know it." "If you act wisely," "I promise you a full alibi before your commanders." " It's impossible." " You're wrong." "It's quite possible." "Your arrest won't be registered in any of our documents." "You'll settle down in an apartment, where your girl will be comfortable." " I have a boy." " Sorry." "Later, if you meet your people, you'll tell them that after your husband's death a man, who gave the password, found you." "I don't know the password." "You do." "But I don't ask for it, it's minor things and romantic games." "You're going to say that the man, who gave the password, brought you to this flat and gave you coded messages, which you later sent to the center." "It's an alibi." "In plays and movies about secret agents they normally give time for thinking." "I'm not giving you any, and ask you right away:" "Yes or no?" "That's the only mistake, he mixed up the baby's sex." "As for the rest - an immaculate job." "Yes." "Can't hear." "Yes." "Yes, yes, yes!" "Now I can hear you." "And no hysterics, please." "You were aware of all the risks, when you agreed to work against us." "Here you go." "I have one condition." "I'm listening." "After my husband's death... and after my arrest..." "I've been out of touch... with my homeland." "I agree to work for you." "If you can guarantee me that in the future" "I'll never get in the hands of my former superiors." "Lost her consciousness." "Put the prisoner in our prison hospital." "See to it that they treat her with particular courtesy." "It's just nerves, she'll get over it." "Play it again, please." "We can't let her out of our hands." "That's for sure." "It'll be utter carelessness and stupidity." "Especially now, when we start this game with the priest." "What d'you think, probably, we needed to secure the Reichsfuhrer's support?" "I'm working on it." "And the motives?" "A lot of them." "We'll think." "I congratulate you, Stirlitz." "We did get the better of Mueller." "That's good, very good." "Stirlitz was watching "The Woman of My Dreams for the 6th time." "He hated this movie." "It made him sick to look at Marika Rokk and to listen to this music." "It went without saying, that such things were never taken into account." "This movie theatre was the place where he regularly met a diplomatic courier named Svenson." "The diplomatic courier Svenson shuttled between Berlin and Stockholm, at the same time supplying Schellenberg's office with various data." "The information that Stirlitz expected to receive today, was of utter importance for Schellenberg." "So, today Stirlitz watched "The Woman of My Dreams for the 6th time." "And for the 6th time he left, without meeting his agent." "03. 10. 1945 (22 hours 03minutes)" "To Entrance 3." "To Entrance 6." "To Entrance 3." "To Entrance 6." "To Entrance 6." "To Entrance 6." "To Entrance 6." "To Entrance 3." "To Entrance 3." "To Entrance 6." "To entrance 3." "To the air-raid shelter." "I'd better go down to the air-raid shelter," " Stirlitz thought." ""Or else they'll get me right here in my own office." "Authorized Personnel Only." "It was a government hotline office." "Each of these telephones was directly connected with the Fuhrer's bunker, as well as with Bormann's Goebbels' and Göring's offices." " Bormann speaking." " Have you received..." " Bormann speaking." " Have you received my letter?" "Who's speaking?" "Hello?" "Who is it?" "Hello?" "I'm listening." "You were supposed to get a letter from a loyal party member." "Yes." "Good day." "Where are you?" "Okay, I see." "They understood each other." "Bormann understood that Stirlitz knew that all his telephone talks were tapped." "It spoke of the fact that the man talking to him was in the know of the Reich's top secrets." "Stirlitz in his turn made a conclusion that Bormann understood everything he kept back, and therefore he felt lucky." "My car license number?" "I know." "Who'll be driving?" " Does it matter?" " Yes, it does." " One of your chauffeurs..." " I know." "He'll be waiting for you tomorrow where we were supposed to meet earlier, at the time appointed by you." "Today." "Let's make it two and a half hours prior to the time of previous arrangement." "All right." "Hail Hitler." "Hail Hitler." "It was Bormann's car." "Don't ever think of seconds haughtily." "The time will come you'll know this self-evidence." "Like whistling bullets by your head they flee." "Those moments, those moments, those moments." "The moments are pressed into long years." "The moments are pressed into an eon." "And sometimes I cannot even guess" "Where the first moment is and where's the last one." "Each moment has a reason of its own, its own bells, its own notability," "Distributing to some shameful renown," "To some only infamy, to others - immortality." "Of tiny moments even the rain is made." "The water pours down from heaven in torrents," "And it may take a half-life just to wait" "For it to come, your one and only moment." "It comes like a gulp of water in the prime" "Of a scorching summer, comes like an atonement." "But don't forget your duty at any time," "From the very first to the very last moment." "Don't ever think of seconds haughtily." "The time will come you'll know this self-evidence:" "Like whistling bullets by your head they flee," "Those moments, those moments, those moments."

"I've never thought I'll be celebrating my birthday in such a way." "With a Russian secret agent and a shell-shocked soldier." "I understand you." "Yesterday it was my husband's birthday." "I also wanted to celebrate it differently." "Shall I take the baby to bed?" "Thank you, Helmut, I'll do it myself." "In compliance with instructions, Helmut will do it." "Here you go." " Happy birthday." " Thank you." "It's time to go to bed." "Sleep." "To have kids and nurse them - that's a woman's mission." "All the rest is chimeras, made up by corrupted bourgeois democracies and Stalin's regime." "People must be fit and strong." "There's nothing purer than healthy physiological instincts." "I'm not afraid to speak of it openly." "What do you mean?" "Today with one, tomorrow with another, in 2 days - with a third one?" "It's dirty." "The family is sacred and unshakable." "But can't I be in bed with my husband, the father of the household..." "Here you go." "Thank you." "...Can't I enjoy the power of love if he were a second, a third or a fourth partner?" "You must liberate yourself from modesty, it's also a chimera." "If my husband and I love each other like we want, there'll be no adultery." "Women cheat on their husbands seeking strength." "Probably, you don't agree with me." " I don't." " Why?" " Just don't." "And that's it." " It's not an answer." "Women desperately want to produce a favorable impression - this trick is as old as the world." "Do you really think that our sweetie Helmut will prefer you to me?" "He's scared of Slavs, and besides, I'm younger." "I hate women." "Why?" "Why do you hate us so much?" "Women are worse than villains." "With villains all is clear, but with women..." "First she'll be as sweet as honey, but then she'll let you down." "Atop of it, she'll cheat on you with your friend if you're not that active in bed." "Your wife cheated on you!" "Excuse me, may I go to my room?" "And what's wrong?" "There're no air-raids today." "And you haven't started to work yet." "So you can stay a bit longer than usual." "I'm just worried about the baby, worried he's woken up." "And why should he wake up?" "Helmut, how long was the baby on the balcony?" "An hour before lunch and an hour after." "It's still freezing outside." "It's better for him to be in the room, not to catch a cold." "Maybe, you'll let me sleep in the same room with him?" "I'm afraid that mister... doesn't sleep well in the same room with the baby." "No, I do sleep well." "He's very calm and never cries." "It's forbidden." "You and your baby are supposed to be in different rooms." "I won't escape." "We have very good locks." "It's impossible to run away from here." "There're two of us here, and the locks are highly reliable." "I'm sorry, but I have my commanders' orders." "Try to talk to your boss." "And who's my boss?" "Standartenfuhrer Stirlitz." "He's a kind man and can go against his superiors' orders, in case you do well in your work." "For some the best stimulus is money, for others - men." "You have the most effective stimulus to work diligently - your baby." "You're right." "Can I take them?" "You wanted to say something?" "Tell me... if you were in my place... would you agree to cooperate to save your kid's life?" "Hard to say..." "By the way, you haven't given your baby a name yet." " I'll call him Vladimir." " After whom?" "Was your father Vladimir, or his father?" " What was his name?" " Whose?" " Your husband's." " Erwin." "I know it, I'm asking about his real, Russian name." "I knew him as Erwin." "Didn't he tell you his real name?" "Was he called Erwin when you were wedded?" " We didn't have a wedding." " It's a lie." "It's true." "Or better to say, we had it here." "I was dropped here together with Erwin." "I guess, your agents, like agents round the world, know each other by their codenames." "Only my boss back in Moscow knows that my real name is Katya, not Kathe." "And, probably, some people who were linked to my husband here, his local bosses." "Okay, go and have some rest." "Tomorrow you're going to Ransdorf." "This is your idea to travel the places your husband used to go to, right?" "Yes." "It was my idea." "Our people, who are at large, can see me and it'll calm them." "And, besides, I'm not sure that the local resident doesn't have another transmitter." "And he can inform Moscow of our failure, unless he gets a signal that I'm at large." "In this case... this game of yours will go down the drain." "Your local resident doesn't have a second transmitter." "And thank God, that you are with Stirlitz." "He has a reputation for being liberal and logical." "Tomorrow he is to take you there." "Did he tell you of that?" "I don't know who I'll go with." "The investigator didn't mention it." "I just informed him it would be advisable to do it, but he didn't say who would take me there." "These are the fingerprints taken off the receiver in the government hotline room." "And these are the fingerprints from the Russian radio operator's transmitter." "They're identical." "What can it mean?" "It means that we need to calmly, quietly, unofficially take fingerprints from all our staff." "From all?" "From all." "I need your sanction." "You've got it." "Do you need my fingerprints?" "Or, maybe, let's keep them?" "If only for history, Reichsfuhrer." "What about Bormann's driver?" "He held out for three hours." "But then we pressed him." "He confessed that at night someone got in his car." "He didn't hear the conversation, as they rolled up the glass partition." "He was shown over two hundred photos." "But he didn't identify Bormann's interlocutor on any of them." "What are you going to do with him?" "Maybe... a car accident?" "I don't know, I don't know." "Judging by your words, the driver is an honest man." "And we don't punish honest people." "Think of something yourself." "Okay, I'll come up with something." "Good." "For me it's harder to think of something, when it comes to the Fuhrer's deputy." "I think, Reichsfuhrer, for you it would be much easier to do." "But if you think it's my responsibility, I'll come up with something." "But do it fast." "I'm not going to put up with double-dealers here." "Stirlitz got to the Swiss border to get his  ready." "Like Schellenberg, he thought that an open smuggling of the pastor across the border could give undesirable publicity to the operation." "This entire operation was being carried out, bypassing the Gestapo." "According to Schellenberg's plan, it was Stirlitz who was to expose Schlagg, after the latter had done his job." "All the last days before the departure" "Stirlitz, with Schellenberg's sanction, was busy preparing candidates for the pastor's would-be conspirators." "All these people served Nazism fervently." "These are, so to say, conspirators, who're delegating our peace-maker pastor to Bern." "Berg, Schwalp, Neibut." "They're from Ribbentrop's office." "Krauze," "Frunditz, Blutner." "These are Goring's people from the Luftwaffe." "I picked diplomats and pilots so that they compromise, respectively, both Ribbentrop and Goring." "Note..." "Schwalp... is Bormann's man." "It's also to our advantage in our game." "Bormann's envoy in the Foreign Office." "A dirty conspirator." "These people, apart from all, were at different time recruited by the Gestapo as informants." "Good." "Very good, Stirlitz." "It can come very handy in the future." "We must keep Mueller on a lead, and this is a lead, and a tight one." "Good, very good." "In this way we cast a shadow, both here and in the West, on those who are seeking peaceful contacts, bypassing us." "And there they clearly discriminate between the Gestapo, Bormann and our department." "And here, too, when we expose this conspiracy, it'll be beneficial if all the criminals are linked to the Gestapo." "Coffee?" "Here you go." "Here you go." "The passengers of the train shuttling between Scandinavia and Switzerland were now practically exclusively diplomats." "Stirlitz had seat No 16." "In the next carriage, seat No 46 was taken by a professor from Sweden with a common Scandinavian surname of Svedeborg." "Thank you." "Are you German?" "Unfortunately." "Why unfortunately?" "Because I'm not given another cup of coffee." "Here they give authentic coffee at the first request only to holders of foreign passports." "Really?" "And I was given a second cup." "I have brandy." "Want a drink?" "Thank you." "I have brandy, too." "But you, probably, don't have salami." "I have salami." "Then, we are both eating from the same plate." "What's your rank?" "I'm a diplomat, a councilor of the Foreign Office 3rd Department." "So it's you whom everybody blames." "It's you who are guilty of all this." "Why?" "Because you shape the foreign policy." "Because it's your policy that led to the war on two fronts." "Cheers." "Cheers." "Are you from Mecklenburg?" "Right." "How did you know that?" "By ." "Northerners save their effort on vowels." "That's true." "Could I see you at the Aviation Ministry last night?" "No, I wasn't there." "Stirlitz was there yesterday." "He gave a lift to Pastor Schlagg to the Aviation Ministry." "My face is rather peculiar:" "All people think they saw me somewhere." "You're stereotypic." "Look like many others." "Is it good or bad?" "For spies it's probably good." "But for diplomats it's probably bad." "You need easily remembered faces." " And for the military?" " For the military?" "Now the military must have strong legs." "And what about heads?" "Why should we have heads?" "They think for us, and we just execute." "Legs are important for us, just legs, to take to the heels in time." "Aren't you afraid to speak so to a total stranger?" "But you don't know my name." "I can easily find it out, as you face sticks in the memory." "Are you for real?" "Shit, I've always thought that my face is quite common." "Doesn't matter." "You'll have to write a report exposing me, then they'll have to find a second witness, and so time will pass and it'll be all over." "And not those ones, but these ones will be putting us on trial." "And you, diplomats, will go first." "You killed, you destroyed, you burnt, and we will be brought to trial?" "We executed orders." "It was the SS that burnt, we fought." "Has anyone invented a new war technique - no burning, no victims?" "War is a necessity, this way or the other." "But not such a dumb one." "This was is a war of amateurs." "He decided he can fight without academies, just by intuition." "He decided that he was the only one who knew what we all needed." "He decided that he was the only one who loved the great Germany, and we all think of nothing else but how to sell it over" "to the circumcised Bolshevik Cossacks." "What are you saying?" "Circumcised Cossacks." "It's something new." "I've never heard of it." "You can expect anything from the Reds." "By the way, from the Americans, too." "I've been fighting them for a year." "Their own military equipment will destroy these idiots." "They think they can win a war exceptionally with air-raids." "They'll build up their technical might and end up bogged down in it." "It will destroy them like rust." "They think it's permissible for them to do whatever they want." "The Reds think so, because they're barbaric and poverty-stricken." "The Americans think so, because they're too rich." "Therefore wars are a necessity." "No link." "What?" "I say, there's no link, your hypothesis doesn't hold together." "But it does." "The state is like people." "They hate anything static." "Borders oppress them." "They need dynamics, it's self-evident." "Dynamics are war." "But if you, fucking diplomats, mess it up again, you'll be destroyed, to the last man." "We executed orders." "We are soldiers like you, the Fuhrer's soldiers." "Come on, stop fooling around." "The Fuhrer's soldiers!" "Ajunior officer who stole his general's boots!" "I'm afraid to speak to you, General." "Don't lie." "Now the whole Germany is speaking like this, or at least, thinking." "And what about guys from the Hitler Jugend?" "Do they think likewise when they go against Russian tanks?" "They die, saying ." "Fanaticism will never bring ultimate victory." "Fanaticism tires people." "And then this very fanaticism dissolves in the loser's thoughts and behavior." "Fanatics can win only at initial stages." "But they can never hold this victory, as they'll get tired of themselves." "Then why won't you raise your division?" " A corps." " The more so." "Why won't you surrender?" "And the family?" "And the fanatics in the headquarters?" "And cowards, for whom it's easier to fight, believing in a mythical victory, than go to the allies' camp?" "But you can issue an order." "They normally order to die." "But no army in the world has ever issued orders to preserve life, surrendering to the enemy." " But if you get such an order?" " From whom?" "From this neurasthenic?" "He's dragging us all into the grave together with him." "It's scary to die alone." "If all in a bunch- it's easy, you can even have fun." "But if you get such an order from Keitel?" "He has an ass instead of a head." "He's a secretary, not a military man." "Okay, then your commander-in chief in Italy." "Kesselring?" "He'll never agree to it." "Why not?" "He came out of Goring's headquarters, and it's obligatory that the one, who works under a leader's supervision, loses initiative." "But gains skills how to dodge." "He becomes an analyst, but loses his ability to take decisions on his own." "And prior to taking such a move, he'll definitely rush to the buck." "To whom?" "To the buck, that's Goring." "Are you sure that Kesselring can't be talked into taking such a move without Goring's sanction?" "If I were not sure, I wouldn't be saying it." "Do you believe we have prospects for the future?" "Yes, I believe we have prospects for the future." "The prospect of close death." "That we will all die, in a bunch." "Trust me, it's not scary, as long as it is in a bunch." "And our death will be so totally shattering that the memory of it will make ache the hearts of many generations of Germans to come." "I bequeathed to my kids..." "Be damned any democracy in our Reich!" "Any democracy in our country is loaded with just one thing." "With a dictatorship of petty shop-keepers." "The more freedom we enjoy, the more we long for the SS, for the secret police, for concentration camps." "For universal fear." "Only then we feel relaxed." "No need to dispute over your views on the future of your homeland." "No responsibility whatever." "Just put up your hand saluting the one who's doing this job for you, just snap out , and everything will be clear." "No worries." "Have a good journey." "Thank you." "Today the border guards have no job here, my carriage is empty." "Do you want  cigarettes?" " Hail Hitler." " Hail Hitler." "I wish you to crush all your enemies." "Thank you." " We'll crush their heads." " I don't doubt it." "So, the Swedish researcher with a Scandinavian name in his ID, professor Pleischner, was going to Bern." "He was going to Bern with a dispatch for Moscow about the work done, and about Schellenberg's mission, and about contacts with Bormann, and about Kathe's failure." "In this dispatch Stirlitz asked to send a contact and specified when, where and how he could meet this contact." "Now he'll head to the local border guard office to get a car there, to go to the far-off mountainous border guarding post." "There, shortly after, the pastor will illegally enter Switzerland." "03.14.1945 (08 hours 37 minutes)" "Gottmandingen border guard post" "Now I understand why you're so complaisant." "In this snow-blue world it's hard to imagine either famine, or air-raids, or devastation." "If I had to smuggle across the border not one man, but, let's say, a company, and without any sanction" "from my superiors, it could've been done quite easily, we would've made a deal." "Why do you think so?" "I think, that time has come when we need to negotiate it all together." "What do you mean?" "You wanted me to be honest with you, didn't you?" "Do you believe people can be honest with each other?" "Sure." "Even us?" "Me, the SD colonel, and you, the army lieutenant?" " I'm sorry, Colonel." " That's OK." "Go ahead." "You can be honest with me, but don't try it with others." "It's my advice." "And especially about why I'm here." "Now..." "For me not to worry, let's go over the lesson again." "Shortly before you leave, Mister Teacher," "I am to get a telegram from Berlin." "Mother has had an attack." "If possible, send medicines." "Hans." "Which means:" "One car, without a driver, with the keys, must be waiting on the street near the station." "Another car, also with the keys, at the eighth kilometer by the creek close to the border." "And in Quadrant 5, it's on the border already, there must be left new skis of the Swiss make, hand-knitted mittens and, finally, ski-boots, size 42." "43." "Sorry, 43." "The boots should have a Bern firm label." "Everything's correct." "Lieutenant, I'm sure you remember that you can answer all questions, related to this mission," "only to Reichsfuhrer Himmler, personally." "Only to him, and no one else." "Call for a car, I must be off to the station." "Bern, Switzerland." "Pleischner knew the text of this telegram by heart." "Hans Frock, George Vlll Street, Stockholm, Sweden." "The contract will be signed at the  hotel, in three days." "Send your terms to this address." "Urgen." "Pleischner accomplished Stirlitz' first assignment." "Here you go, 2 franks." "In a day this message will be read in Moscow." "Through Wolf in Bern, Himmler entered into negotiations with Dulles." "Yustas." "Pleischner was on his way to a secret flat at the address, given to him by Stirlitz." "He had two hours before the meeting." "There was an ampoule with poison in this cigarette." "Pleischner had to use it as a last resort, when there would be no other escape." "Now it all seemed so naive, a kind of kids' game." "Here, in Switzerland, where people hadn't had wars for 80 years, all that was happening to him and to others there, in Germany, seemed nothing but a nightmare." "Flower Street." "Otto asked me to tell you, that he waited for your call... last night." "Come on in." "And Pleischner entered the flat, though he was not supposed to do it, without getting the counter-sign:" "Strange, I was home, probably he got the wrong number." "Thus, that was his second error." "Well?" "How is he there?" "Here." "It's all written in here." "Excuse me." "Make yourself comfortable, take off your coat, I'll be right back." "The intoxicating air of freedom played a joke on Professor Pleischner." "The Soviet spy's secret address was uncovered by the fascists." "And they were waiting for guests here." "The first guest to come was Stirlitz' contact," "Professor Pleischner." "This should be rushed to our embassy." "Take the keys to the back door." "And don't make any noise, remember, we have a creaky door." "Tell them at our embassy to place this guy under surveillance." "I'll try to hold him up and get him talking." "He's an amateur, and, probably, is just being used." "I'll try to stir him up." "Go ahead." "We're having beautiful weather here." "And how are you doing there?" "How's the boss?" "Is he fine?" "Yes." "Everything's OK." " Want some coffee?" " Thank you, with pleasure." " Are you comfortable in the hotel?" " Yes, quite." "And how about the ?" "My room's on the 2nd floor and faces the back yard." "In Germany we don't have what you have here." "These bastards sell real dish-water to their people." "And here they sell authentic Brazilian coffee." "Yes..." "I haven't had such coffee for 10 years." "A long-forgotten taste." "Some Greeks taught me to drink strong coffee with cold water." "Want to try?" "I've never had coffee with cold water." "Contrasting temperatures and tastes create a very special sensation." "And it lessens the load on the heart." "Really?" "Very interesting." "What did he ask you to say in words?" "What?" "What did he ask you to say to me in words?" "Nothing, just to hand over the ampoule." "Strange." "Why?" "I thought he'd tell me when he would be coming." "He didn't say anything to me." "I forgot to ask you." "Perhaps you're hungry?" "No, I had a very substantial breakfast." "How about money?" "Thank you, I have enough for a start." "If you need money, don't hesitate to come." "Surely, I can't give much, but I'll always find some money for you to get by." "Thank you." "By the way, did you check if they were tailing you?" "Tailing?" " What's this, following?" " Right." "I didn't pay any attention, you know." "That's careless of you." "Very careless." "Didn't he instruct you on it?" "He did instruct me." "But you know, for the first time in many years, especially after the camp, I felt free and, you know, I, kind of, got intoxicated." "Thank you for reminding me about it." "You mustn't ever forget about it." "The police are cunning here, very cunning." "Okay." "Do you have anything else to say?" "Me?" "Nothing." "Give me your ID then." "But he said I must always have my ID with me." "Did he say that from now on you were supposed to follow my orders?" "No." "Right, that's in the coded message you brought me from him." "We'll think of the best pattern of accomplishing the mission." "What are you going to do now?" "I'll get back to the hotel, lie in bed and try to have a long sleep." "I mean your work." "No, first, I need to get a good sleep." "I've dreamt about sleeping for a whole day, two days, three days, before getting down to business." "I left all my papers in Berlin." "But I remember all my works nearly by heart." "You'll come to collect it the day after tomorrow, at 2 o'clock." "We'll get you registered at the Swedish Consulate ourselves." "Great." "Better to say, we'll try to do it." "The Swedes are acting like bastards, the further on, the more impudent." "Who?" "Who?" "The Swedes." "In every one who's arriving from Germany, they see a Nazi agent." "They don't care what kind of German you are:" "A patriot, fighting Hitler, or a Gestapo sleuth." "So we have to be very careful." "But he didn't say that I must get registered at the Consulate." "It's all in the coded message." " Want some more coffee?" " No, thank you." "The coffee was really excellent." "Especially with cold water." "Have you informed him that everything's OK with you here?" "Or do you want me to do it?" "I think you'd better do it through your friends." "Right, I'll do it through my friends." "But you inform him too, and promptly." "I wanted to do it today, but I couldn't find a stamp, which I must stick to the postcard." "The day after tomorrow I'll get you the stamp you need, if it's on sale now." "What should it have on it?" "The conquest of Mont Blanc, only it must be blue." "Okay." "Do you have the postcard with you?" "No, it's at the hotel." "That's bad." "You can't leave anything at the hotel." "You're a foreigner, it's possible they'll be shaking you down." "But this is just a postcard." "I bought ten of them in Berlin." "And I memorized the text." "So there be no error on my part." "You must never forget it." "You can't be too careful, comrade." "Remember, this is just a seeming tranquility." "He warned me." "Give me your address, just in case." "The ." "The  holiday hotel." " Americans staying there?" " Why?" "Normally, they stay at the hotels bearing their names." " There seem to be no foreigners." " We'll check it." "If you see me in your hotel, don't come up to me and don't greet me." " We don't know each other." " Okay." "And now this:" "In case of emergency call me." "My number is 388-16-16." " Will you remember?" " 388-16-16." "See you the day after tomorrow." "Want to buy anything?" "No, I'm just admiring your birds." "The most interesting species are inside." "I'm different from the other sellers." "The other sellers put the most catching birds in their shop-windows." "But I think that birds are notjust items of sale." "Birds are birds." "Sometimes even writers drop in to listen to my birds." "And once one of them said:" "Before I descend into the hell of a new book," "I, like Orpheus, must indulge in listening to the great music of birds." "Or else I won't be capable of singing to the world the song, which will find its Eurydice." " Thank you." " For what?" " Thank you." " Welcome." "See you." "Schellenberg told me that he'd asked Stirlitz to go on a mission." "I think it makes sense." "Rolf will be operating by contrast." "Prisoners, after having a malicious investigator, are especially drawn to a kind one." "Stirlitz is kind, isn't he?" "Yes?" "I'm listening." "Mueller thought for a moment whether to say about the fingerprints on the secret phone in the hotline room, and that these fingerprints were absolutely identical to those on the Russian radio operator's case." "But weighing it all, Mueller decided to tell Kaltenbrunner neither of this nor of the fact that he had unofficially collected fingerprints from his staff." "Kaltenbrunner will rush it and have a fit of hysterics." "And if he has a chance he'll shift the blame for the failure on him," "Mueller, that he's overlooked an enemy in his own house." "It suited Muller that the fact of the conversation of someone from the Reich Security with Bormann was known to Himmler, but had bypassed Kaltenbrunner." "This state of things made it possible for him to maneuver between these two forces." "Yes." "No, go ahead, please." "Do you want me to check on how Stirlitz is getting on with the radio operator?" "Why?" "Why must you check it?" "He's especially efficient in the way of radio games." "And shall I give Rolf a free hand with the Russian ?" "With the ?" "No." "Let Rolf operate by contrast with Stirlitz." "They have the same goal, don't they?" "And the means to reach it can be different." " Anything from Russians?" " Not yet." "How are the decipherers doing?" "They're half-way to the success." "The code is very complicated." "Press the  well." "I don't believe she doesn't know the resident's cipher." "Stirlitz uses his special methods on her." "Stirlitz is away, so tell Rolf to put some pressure on her." "03.15.1945 (02 hours 14 minutes)" "Don't put on the light."

"I already feel comfortable in your house." "It's cozy and quiet in here." "Especially, during air-raids." "Sit down." "My back hurts so badly." "Must've been sitting in a draught." "I need to take an aspirin." "But I might take a laxative instead of an aspirin in the dark." "Let's pull down the curtains, they are very thick, and light the fire." "I tried to pull down your curtains." "They're with a secret." "Come on, there's no secret." "What's happened, old pal?" "Who are you so scared of?" "Mueller." " Your boss?" " Right."

"Or is your name Monte Cristo?" "Want a drink?" "Yes, I do." "Good brandy." " Another glass?" " With pleasure." "Stirlitz, throughout this week I've been busy with your case." "I don't get you." "Mueller asked me to double-check your physicists' case, non-officially." "You're speaking in riddles with me, Holtoff." "I don't get it." "Either explain it to me in detail how the arrested physicist is related to me, or make me understand why you non-officially double-checked my case and why Mueller is seeking evidence against me." "I can't explain it to you, because I have no clue myself." "But I know that you're under surveillance." "Me?" "No, it's totally absurd." "Or our bosses have lost their heads in this turmoil..." "Stirlitz, didn't you teach me to analyze everything and keep cool?" "You advise me to keep cool after what you've just told me?" "Yes, I'm worried." "I'm mad and I'll go to Mueller right away." "He's sleeping." "And don't be in a hurry to confront him." "First listen to me." "I'm going to tell you what I've dug up in connection with the physicists' case." "I haven't reported it to Mueller yet." "I waited until I tell you." "Okay, shoot." "I summoned three experts from the new armaments development department." "I also summoned them, when you put Runge in jail." "Right, we put Runge in jail." "But why did you check on Runge in the military intelligence?" " You don't get it?" " No, I don't." "Runge went co colleges in France and in the States." "Can't you guess that his connections there are by far more important than he himself here?" "We lack courage to view the problem in perspective." "It's our disadvantage." "We can't allow ourselves to set our imagination free." "From here to here, and not a step aside - that's our big mistake." "Well, I agree with you." "As for not being daring, I'm not going to argue with this." "But I can argue over the separate points." "Runge claimed that we needed to continue researching the possibility of getting plutonium out of radioactive elements." "That's what his scientific opponents charged him with." "So, it was them, who wrote the letter denouncing him." "And I made them confess to this." "But I never doubted it." "What did you never doubt?" "That they'd written the letter denouncing him." "Then why were you investigating this case for so long and Runge still ended up being dismissed from his job?" "I needed to find out whether Runge was simulating, and if "yes", who benefited from it - we or our enemies." "And you concluded that our enemies would benefit from his proposals?" "You've read the case, haven't you?" "I have." "And now our people from London inform us that Runge was right." "The Americans and the Brits followed his suit, while we kept him in the Gestapo." "You kept him in the Gestapo." "You, Holtoff." "It's you who arrested him, not us." "It's not us who opened the case, but you, Mueller and Kaltenbrunner." "And not mine, nor yours, nor Schumann's granny is a Jew, but his." "He concealed it." "May his dad be three times a Jew!" "A gypsy or not a gypsy, a Jew or not a Jew - what's the big deal?" "It's no big deal who his dad was, if he served us, and like a fanatic." "You believed those bastards." "Bastards." "The movement's old-timers." "Tested Aryans." "Physicists, who were decorated by the Fuhrer himself." "Okay, okay, okay." "That's true." "You're right." "Give me another glass of brandy, please." "Have you disposed of it, yet?" "Stirlitz, you're holding the cork in your left hand." "I'm asking you about the fuses." "The fuses are in the small table by the mirror." "I think I've taken to drinking." "What do you think, Stirlitz, what will Kaltenbrunner undertake if I report to him the results of my investigation?" "First you must report the results to Mueller." "It was him who issued an order to arrest Runge." "And you were on that Runge's case." "Yes, I was." "Absolutely right." "Carrying out the order, prescribed by my superiors." "If you released him now we could make a breakthrough in creating the retaliation weapon." " Can you prove it?" " I've already done it." " All physicists share your view?" " Most of them." "Most of those whom I summoned for the talk." " So you're in for..." " Nothing." "Absolutely nothing." "The research results can be corroborated only by practice." " Where are these corroborations?" " In my pocket." "Really?" "Really." "I got something from London, the most recent news." "It's a death verdict." "To you." "What do you want, Holtoff?" "You're hinting at something, but I can't get you." "I'm ready to say it again." "Deliberately or not, but it's you, and nobody else, who killed the research on creating the retaliation weapon." "Deliberately or not, but you, and nobody else, instead of questioning a hundred physicists, limited the numberjust to ten, and on the grounds of their testimonies, and they benefited from Runge's isolation, you contributed to the fact that Runge's ideas" "were labeled harmful and lacking any perspective." "So you want me not to trust the Fuhrers' true soldiers," "the men, whom Keitel and Goring trust, and to trust the man who is for the American way of nuclear development." "Is that what you call me to do?" "You want me to believe Runge, who was arrested by the Gestapo." "And the Gestapo never arrests anybody without hard evidence." "And not to trust the people who helped expose him." "It all looks very logical, Stirlitz." "I've always envied how you can logically arrange your words to reach one clear-cut goal." "You're hitting Mueller who issued an order to arrest Runge," "you're hitting me, who's defending a Jew in the third generation." "And you become a monument of loyalty, built on our bones." "Okay." "It's all well-calculated." "But I haven't come to you for this." "You were rather farsighted, and Runge, though in the concentration camp, lives in a cottage, in the SS settlement and can be engaged in theoretical physics." "Now I'm coming to the key point." "I got into big trouble." "If I report the results of my investigation to Mueller, he'll understand that, even though you're under his watchful eye" "and not one person, but several, are double-checking your work, you'll be having a weapon against him." "You're right." "It was him who issued an order to arrest Runge." "If I report that the results of your work check-up are not in your favor, it will indirectly expose him to danger, too." "As for me, no matter how funny it is, blows will come from two sides." "Both you and Mueller are going to hit me." "He, because my arguments are to be checked and double-checked, and you..." "You've already hinted how you're going to beat me." "What shall I, a Gestapo officer, do?" "Give me a clue." "You're with the intelligence, aren't you?" "Do you want to quit the game?" "And you?" "Would you do the same?" "Now I can't answer you, Holtoff, until I hear your "yes" or "no"." "Okay, let's assume the improbable, and I'll answer you "yes"?" "If we're going to assume the improbable, it's the wrong address." "Turn to astrologers, and not to me." "Do you know any "gaps" in the border?" "Probably." "If the three of us flee to the neutrals?" " The three of us?" " Right." "Runge, you and me." "We'll save the great physicist for the world." "I've saved him here, and you've arranged his escape." "How?" "And mind, it's you, not me, who's under surveillance." "And you know well what it means to be under Mueller's watchful eye." "Well?" "I'm waiting for the answer." "Want a drink?" "Yes." "Holtoff lied, when he said that Mueller was sleeping." "Mueller wasn't sleeping." "He was waiting for Holtoff." "Mueller had just got a report from the Center of deciphering on the happenings at the Gestapo secret address in Bern." "The original code got from" "Professor Pleischner - a messenger of the Russian intelligence agent." "The original code of the radio operator Katherine Kien." "Comparing these two codes he made an unexpected and extremely important discovery." "His head even started swimming with the anticipation of luck." "The cipher of the Russian radio operator was absolutely identical to the messenger's from Bern." "Scholz, can you explain to me what's wrong with this drawer?" " Do you have a spare key?" " I don't." "In the morning call the officer on duty." "And now go bring me a magnifier." "Mine is in this drawer." "Mueller speaking." "Yes, sir." "Right." "Okay, sir." "By all means." "Yes." "Definitely." "Sure." "When Holtoff comes - send him to me!" "Sure." "No, we have something." "Yes." "I've received a report from the Center of deciphering." "And the picture is as follows." "The code of the Russian radio operator is absolutely identical to the one their messenger brought to Bern." "Yes, it's Professor Pleischner." "That means the resident in Berlin seeks new contacts." "Yes." "I'll be here for some time." "Good night, sir." "Yes, perhaps you're right." "It's rather good morning." "What do you mean?" "Have you gone nuts, Stirlitz?" "I'm in my right mind." "But he... he's either gone nuts, or... decided to quit the game." "What?" "Bring him some water." "I want you to explain to me properly what's going on." "Excuse me, Gruppenfuhrer, first let him explain it properly." "I'd better write it down properly." "Okay." "Go to your room and write down what you think necessary." "How much time do you need for it?" "If in brief - 10 minutes, in detail - tomorrow." "Why tomorrow?" "Today I have some urgent things to do." "And, secondly, he won't come to himself sooner." "Alright." "Tomorrow at 9 in the morning." " May I go?" " Go." "Take off his bracelets." "Bandage his wound." "And take him home." "That's it." "Mueller was seldom wrong, both when he served the Weimar Republic, beating up Nazi demonstrators, and when he went over to the Nazis and began to put the Weimar republic leaders in jail, and when he carried out all Himmler's orders." "And later, when he started to be drawn to Kaltenbrunner, his hunch never failed him." "Kaltenbrunner hardly had forgotten about the task he assigned to Mueller - to check on Stirlitz' personal file." "It means something had happened." "And, evidently." "On a very high level." "And Martin Bormann was the highest level for Kaltenbrunner." "For this reason Mueller ordered Holtoff to go to Stirlitz." "And put on an act." "If Stirlitz had come to him tomorrow and informed of Holtoff's behavior, he could've buried the case in the safe with a clear conscience, and would've considered it closed." "If Stirlitz had agreed to Holtoff's offer, he could've gone to Kaltenbrunner with open cards supporting his report with the data, provided by his man." "And it's not a chimera with physics formulas." "But today's happenings were not on his agenda and didn't fit in either of the scenarios." "Sooner out of the habit to settle the unfinished business, rather than suspecting Stirlitz," "Mueller summoned Scholz." "At your service, Gruppenfuhrer." "Look here, Scholz." "Have the fingerprints taken off this glass." "If I'm asleep, don't wake me up." "I don't think... it's urgent." "03.15.1945 (07 hours 22 minutes)" "Any news?" "No, Standartenfuhrer." "How's our Russian girlfriend?" "We're spending most of the time in exciting ideological debates." "I'm sure that you always win." "Do win, and don't give our pretty Russian girl any chance to feel like a worthy opponent." "If possible, bring me some coffee, please." "Our coffee is tasteless, it's just a substitute." "But we have very good tea." "Obersturmbanfuhrer Kun brought very good tea." "Probably, captured." "Make it very strong, then." "Helmut, boil some water, please." "Okay." "Keep listening to possible messages from Moscow, dear Frau Kien." "I'll be back in a day or two and I think that then your fate will be cleared up to the end." "You don't need to worry, all your problems are coordinated with my bosses." "Barbara, I have very little time." "Armies of the 3rd Byelorussian Front today, on March 15, fought fierce battles with the enemy south-west of Konigsberg..." "Armies of the 3rd Ukrainian Front successfully ended the Balaton defensive operation, launched on March, 6." "In the course of fierce defensive battles and counter-attacks" "Soviet troops repelled the enemy attempt to inflict a defeat on Soviet troops in Hungary and to raise the blockade of the Budapest group of armies..." "Aircraft of the 17th Air Force Army played a considerable role in breaking up the enemy offensive..." "All this created favorable conditions for the Soviet troops offensive on Vienna." "Bern." "The USA Special Office mansion." "Excuse me, Mister Dulles, there was a call from..." "Okay." "I have to leave you." "Please, continue the talk." "Tomorrow evening we'll meet again." "Okay, today's talk has been very useful and laid grounds for further discussions." "And now, General, the last point" "I'd like to clarify." "Tell me..." "Who do you see as Chancellor of the future Germany?" "Kesselring." "Kesselring, and nobody else." "He's popular with common people, young, daring." "Minister of Foreign Affairs?" "Von Neurath." " The former deputy of Czechia and Moravia?" " Yes." "Was he the SS Obergruppenfuhrer?" "Like all of us." "I understand." "So, von Neurath." "And who'll be Finance Minister?" "Schacht is the only one, who can be appointed Finance Minister in the future Germany." "True." "Though he's as sly as a fox." "To be a simple financier equals to condemn everything to failure." "Right, he financed Hitler." "Hitler used to be Schickelgruber back then." "Hitler was already Hitler back then." "And Minister of Home Affairs?" "Who's going to hold Germany in hands?" "Wolf?" "General Karl Wolf." "SS Obergruppenfuhrer Karl Wolf." "The sooner you forget about the SS and all the ranks in the SS hierarchy, the better it will be not only for us, but trust me, for you, too." "General, and how do you envisage the future of your immediate boss?" "You mean Kaltenbrunner?" "No." "Himmler." "It will be the next stage in out talks." "Now I can only promise everything will be done on legal grounds." "Since we want to forget about ranks and stick just to names." "And then..." "What's the key issue now?" "To stop the Bolsheviks, not to let them into Europe - that's how I understand my duty." "And not differently." "03.05.1945 (17 hours 50 minutes)" "No, it's..." "It's total lack of morals." "I don't blame her, I just... listen to her and can't help recalling Handel, Bach." "Apparently, in the old days people of art were more critical of themselves." "They lived in Faith." "They set super-tasks before them and were kind of light houses." "And this?" "It's common practice to speak like this in market places." "This singer will outlive herself." "She'll be remembered after her death." "That's indulgence that speaks in you." "It's love for Paris that speaks in me." "And for quite a while, Pastor." "Stirlitz was in France several months prior to its occupation by fascists." "And he remembered forever how those who decided to continue struggle outside France, were leaving it." "In two hours we'll be at the border." "And now say again what you are to do in Bern." "I have a good memory." "The Bible teaches not only kindness, but how to arrange your memory, too." "But still." "Could you go over it again, please, from beginning to end." "All right." "I'm supposed to stop at the "Savoy" hotel." "On that very day..." "I admit, you really have a very good memory, especially considering your age and the uncommonness of the situation." "I think this plan will work." "He'll set the ball rolling, and very soon." "And now about Kathe." "In case anything unforeseen happens..." "And it can happen, though it shouldn't, that she'll tell them about me, she'll crack under tortures." "But the pastor'll already get it going, with Pleischner fulfilling my task." "And neither of them knows what part they played in my operation." "In Bern our people who've got a signal from Pleischner, will be watching the pastor." "And everything will work out fine." "These talks are not going to be held, I won't let Himmler do it." "No way." "Now it's a no go." "Never." "You must make appointments not in the blue hall, but in the pink one." "You see, a good memory is fine, but it won't do any harm to repeat." "Strange, I had an impression you were not listening to me at all." "I'm listening to you very attentively." "Go on, please." "Today the pastor'll be in Switzerland, tomorrow he'll get my business going." "Our business, that's more correct." "If the pastor leaves, and everything is OK, I'll take Kathe out of there." "Then I can put everything on the line." "They're tightening the ring." "And even Bormann won't help me here." "I'll leave with her through my "gap" if I feel the game is coming to an end." "Right?" "Right." "And it's good you paid your attention to it." "Always take the second taxi, ignoring the first one, and no hitchhiking." "And I very much hope that our friends from the monastery," "who I told you about, will take good care of you." "I'd like to stress it again." "Anything can happen to you." "Anything, Pastor." "If you make a single slip, you'll find yourself here, in Mueller's basement, before you know it." "If it happens, you must know... that if you say my name just once," "when you're delirious or under torture, it'll mean my death." "And simultaneously with my death, your sister's and your nephews' immediate deaths, too." "They're tied to me as hostages by those who let me take you abroad." "And nothing can save your relatives should you give them my name." "Understand me right, it's not a threat." "This is reality, and you need to know it." "And always remember it." "I understand you." "All right, then." "I don't want to be misinterpreted in this particular question." "Okay, get dressed." "Wait, my hands are shaking a bit, I need to get hold of myself." "Speak in a normal voice." "Nobody can hear us here." "Get in the car." "Say the address, at which you will be writing to our friends." "I remember it." "My size." "Please, say the address." "Bert Uhanson, Number 7, Sveevegen Street," "Stockholm, Sweden." "Right." "Say the text of the telegram which you'll send, if the talks between Himmler and Dulles have already started?" "I'll send a telegram, running..." "Aunt Elsa..." "Oh, there's a knot here." "Let me help you." "So, I..." "Aunt Elsa stayed with us in Bern and Lausanne." "She feels fine, but is missing her family." "Every week she writes letters home." "Gustav." "Correct?" "And if there are no talks?" "If... then I'll write..." "Thank you." "Then I'll write." "Don't believe those who scare you with bad weather in Switzerland." "There's much sunshine and it's warm here." "Correct, great." "Let's go." "I hate high-flown words, Pastor." "But Germany's future depends on what you're going to find out and on your telegrams..." "And not only Germany's." "Good luck, Pastor." "Head towards a power plant noise." "The hotel is close to it." "It's two kilometers, not more." "Okay, God bless you." "Stirlitz' heart ached." "He saw that the pastor couldn't ski at all." "Hadn't held ski-sticks in his hands for at least 10 years." "That's OK,  - he calmed himself." "It's not a long way to the hotel, the hotel is within easy reach." "He'll make it." "Everything will be alright." "Now he should do the last thing." "Now Kathe is top priority." "03.15.1945 (23 hours 30 minutes)" "No, I'm not going to ask for anything here, dear Schellenberg." "I'll ask for it there." "Yes, I'll need your help first in Sweden, and then, probably, in Switzerland." "No, what is known to two, is known to everybody." "Thank you, buddy, you've always helped me out, and I love you tenderly, like a true friend." "So, what have we got?" "Gruppenfuhrer, on the glass, on the Russian agent's suitcase, on the hotline receiver there were fingerprints of one and the same man " "SS Standartenfuhrer Stirlitz." "I asked you to get me Swedish blades." "Where, where..." " Who did the examination?" " At the 5th lab unit." "Come to me, now." "Send Rolf to me, now." "Send a car for him, he'll now go to the Russian ." "Block all roads." "Send our men to Stirlitz' place." "If he's home, don't take him, but ask him to come to me." "Dispatch a coded message to all borders." "That's it." "Erich, round the corner." "You go with me." "Stay here." "Hans." " Smoking again?" " I'm not smoking." "I smell it." "Quit smoking." "Let me look at it again." "10 minutes ago Stirlitz stopped the car." "He felt he was falling sleeping right at the wheel." "He hadn't had a wink of sleep for almost two days." "He decided he must sleep for at least a half-hour, otherwise he wouldn't get to Berlin." "A half-hour." "10 minutes had already passed." "He slept very soundly and peacefully." "But in exactly 20 minutes he would wake up." "It was also one of his habits he had worked out throughout the years." "He would wake up and head to Berlin."
