How about a bouquet
for you, madam?

54
00:04:26,906 --> 00:04:29,991
Young man, a
bouquet for your mother?

Here you are. One mark.

56

One mark, please.

57
00:04:35,534 --> 00:04:38,228
- Here you are.
- Thank you.

58
00:04:47,742 --> 00:04:52,858
- Sorry, where's Berzius Street?
- Over the church square, then left.

59
00:05:39,142 --> 00:05:41,841
Morning, Änne.
From the Youth-C.C.

60
00:05:41,878 --> 00:05:44,235
Tickets to the anti-war
congress in Amsterdam.

61
00:05:44,272 --> 00:05:46,190
Oh, come on in.

62
00:05:46,523 --> 00:05:49,225
Your delegation departs tomorrow.

63
00:05:50,472 --> 00:05:52,206
Tomorrow?

64
00:05:53,644 --> 00:05:56,708
But Fiete will be released
from prison tomorrow.

65
00:05:56,745 --> 00:06:01,278
Say, is it true? Did you
marry him in prison back then?

66
00:06:06,630 --> 00:06:09,132
7 years ago.

67
00:06:13,857 --> 00:06:16,200
Comrade Jansen!

68
00:06:18,289 --> 00:06:20,889
- Red Front!
- Red Front!

69
00:06:42,831 --> 00:06:44,821
Fiete.

70
00:06:46,507 --> 00:06:50,660
- My Fiete!
- My dear wife.

71
00:06:50,697 --> 00:06:52,983
My Fiete.

72
00:07:04,198 --> 00:07:06,874
Today already!

73
00:07:06,911 --> 00:07:10,720
Nothing's ready.
Everything is a mess.

74
00:07:10,757 --> 00:07:13,177
Not even flowers!

75
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:18,690
I was going to greet you with red
carnations. Your favorite flowers.

76
00:07:18,727 --> 00:07:21,985
What do I need flowers for
when I have you?

77
00:07:29,126 --> 00:07:31,317
Ah, Fiete!

78
00:07:39,296 --> 00:07:44,301
Why did you have to come today?
The 13th is tomorrow, you know.

79
00:07:44,338 --> 00:07:49,654
Fine, Änne baby. I'm going
back to prison, see you tomorrow.

80
00:07:57,528 --> 00:08:02,363
To the C.C. member of the
Communist Youth League,

81
00:08:02,718 --> 00:08:04,823
Änne Jansen.

82
00:08:06,212 --> 00:08:10,655
Oh my God, Fiete.
I completely forgot.

83
00:08:16,205 --> 00:08:19,985
I'm supposed to travel
to Amsterdam tomorrow.

84
00:08:22,711 --> 00:08:24,776
Unless...

85
00:08:24,813 --> 00:08:28,588
Maybe I should wait a day?

86
00:08:29,710 --> 00:08:35,790
It's just for a few days.
And I'll always be here now.

87
00:08:43,585 --> 00:08:47,077
So what is our... tenant up to?

88
00:08:47,114 --> 00:08:49,615
- Want to see how he lives?
- I have to.

89
00:08:49,652 --> 00:08:53,114
When you're in Amsterdam,
he'll be my tenant.

90
00:09:14,797 --> 00:09:17,556
Ernst lives here.

91
00:09:33,386 --> 00:09:37,718
<i>Dear Fiete! 7 years behind bars,
and you're back in our big family.</i>

92
00:09:37,755 --> 00:09:41,000
<i>How I wanted to be the first
to shake your hand, my lad...</i>

93
00:09:41,037 --> 00:09:43,933
<i>But duty calls.
I'm off to the Ruhr area today.</i>

94
00:09:43,970 --> 00:09:46,516
<i>With revolutionary regards, Ernst.</i>

95
00:09:54,536 --> 00:10:00,203
The Mansfeld area. For seven weeks,
these mines have been idle.

96
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,851
It's a lot!
Seven weeks of strike.

97
00:10:02,888 --> 00:10:07,271
A sturdy bunch,
the Mansfelders.

98
00:10:14,628 --> 00:10:17,847
Kulle, perhaps a detour?

99
00:10:17,884 --> 00:10:19,723
Well...

100
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,631
When would we be
in the Ruhr area?

101
00:10:23,346 --> 00:10:27,749
That's just it.
We can't be everywhere.

102
00:10:41,100 --> 00:10:43,520
- Hyah!
- Listen up, people!

103
00:10:43,557 --> 00:10:47,881
Pack up your junk and go back home!
You won't get through here!

104
00:10:47,918 --> 00:10:54,243
Aha, Mr. von Lanzau! When did
you start playing traffic police?

105
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,776
Be reasonable, Rambert.
We're just doing our duty.

106
00:10:57,813 --> 00:11:01,621
Tell that to your father,
my boy. He's in the back.

107
00:11:01,658 --> 00:11:03,083
Hyah!

108
00:11:06,961 --> 00:11:09,770
Outrageous!

109
00:11:12,950 --> 00:11:17,714
- What did you bring the rifles for?
- Step aside! Safeties off!

110
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:22,099
Some victory for you!
Taking bread from children.

111
00:11:22,136 --> 00:11:24,721
It's for the strike kitchen,
you heroes!

112
00:11:24,758 --> 00:11:29,692
Instead of urging your men to work
so they can support the family,

113
00:11:29,729 --> 00:11:31,684
you stand by them?

114
00:11:31,721 --> 00:11:33,559
Of course I do.

115
00:11:33,596 --> 00:11:37,869
I made a vow to be true to my
husband, I'll keep it on strike too.

116
00:11:37,906 --> 00:11:39,590
Enough blabbering!

117
00:11:39,627 --> 00:11:43,603
- Don't strain yourself!
- But who are you?

118
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,022
Well?

119
00:11:48,330 --> 00:11:51,313
Member of parliament
Thälmann.

120
00:11:51,923 --> 00:11:54,354
Who gave you the order?

121
00:12:08,430 --> 00:12:13,392
Hop in! Get some miners from
strike management to join you!

122
00:12:14,782 --> 00:12:17,217
Let's go, Kulle!

123
00:12:28,746 --> 00:12:31,229
Hard on the cattle.
Not enough feed?

124
00:12:31,266 --> 00:12:36,766
That, and he's hardly even mine.
The ox has been seized.

125
00:12:37,244 --> 00:12:40,997
- And yet you're helping the miners.
- You do what you can.

126
00:12:41,034 --> 00:12:43,115
If we don't help our own...

127
00:12:43,152 --> 00:12:49,644
The same people who cut the
miners' wages also seize our cattle.

128
00:12:57,643 --> 00:13:03,907
Struck by the same
heavy blow of fate,

129
00:13:03,944 --> 00:13:09,376
with our heads bowed,
so will we,

130
00:13:09,413 --> 00:13:13,311
representatives of
industry and government,

131
00:13:13,348 --> 00:13:19,336
and you, relatives
of the dearly departed,

132
00:13:19,373 --> 00:13:24,646
who served us faithfully
for so many years,

133
00:13:24,683 --> 00:13:28,399
- united in pain and grief,
- Hey, Ernst.

134
00:13:28,436 --> 00:13:32,032
carry them to their graves.

135
00:13:32,069 --> 00:13:35,289
I stepped in for you,
spoke on behalf of the C.C.

136
00:13:35,326 --> 00:13:38,035
Actually, it's better
that it was you.

137
00:13:38,072 --> 00:13:43,865
Your words were moving. All our
hearts were touched by your speech.

138
00:13:43,902 --> 00:13:49,148
I thank you on behalf of the board
of the Federation of Trade Unions.

139
00:13:49,185 --> 00:13:53,924
We're socially-minded too,
Paterno. Us too.

140
00:13:59,946 --> 00:14:07,738
A man went down from Jericho to
Jerusalem who fell among thieves.

141
00:14:08,158 --> 00:14:15,318
They stripped him of his clothes,
beat him and left him for dead.

142
00:14:15,939 --> 00:14:23,221
This same fate befell our
Wilhelm Mayer and all the others.

143
00:14:24,117 --> 00:14:29,651
For 15 years, he went down
to the Good Hope mine.

144
00:14:30,279 --> 00:14:34,793
There he fell among
capitalist thieves.

145
00:14:34,830 --> 00:14:36,936
And now...

146
00:14:37,503 --> 00:14:40,160
he lies before us.

147
00:14:40,483 --> 00:14:42,874
Distasteful.

148
00:15:28,954 --> 00:15:33,241
- <i>Glückauf!</i>
- <i>Glückauf.</i>

149
00:15:34,045 --> 00:15:36,571
What's with this note here?

150
00:15:36,608 --> 00:15:44,281
"I hereby agree to the
salary reduction of 12%."

151
00:15:44,318 --> 00:15:46,126
Twelve percent?

152
00:15:46,163 --> 00:15:51,963
Yeah right, you assholes. Ha!
But I don't agree. What now?

153
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,725
- Me neither!
- Me neither!

154
00:15:54,779 --> 00:15:59,060
If we don't sign, they'll
shut down the mine shaft.

155
00:15:59,097 --> 00:16:03,183
- Like <i>Luise</i> and <i>Ruprecht!</i>
- You don't know jack!

156
00:16:05,380 --> 00:16:08,033
Guys!
Listen up!

157
00:16:08,070 --> 00:16:10,923
They laid off half the mine!

158
00:16:11,570 --> 00:16:14,056
Here are the lists!

159
00:16:17,019 --> 00:16:19,800
We're not gonna put up with this!

160
00:16:35,416 --> 00:16:38,883
- What's going on?
- Guys, Thälmann is here!

161
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:40,997
What, Teddy?

162
00:16:45,698 --> 00:16:49,271
<i>Glückauf,</i> Brother Thälmann!
What do you think?

163
00:16:49,308 --> 00:16:52,142
- Lockout!
- They want to shut down our mine!

164
00:16:52,179 --> 00:16:55,571
And we carry the burden!
Let those up there pay!

165
00:16:55,608 --> 00:17:00,635
Empty shaft, empty stomach,
only this note left.

166
00:17:04,162 --> 00:17:06,564
What cruelty.

167
00:17:06,601 --> 00:17:12,246
She had to bury her husband
and they're sacking her boy.

168
00:17:12,283 --> 00:17:15,389
One misfortune follows another.

169
00:17:16,017 --> 00:17:19,046
Capitalism is our misfortune.

170
00:17:19,474 --> 00:17:22,464
Why are mining disasters
on the rise?

171
00:17:22,501 --> 00:17:26,630
Coal is expensive, but
proletarian life is cheap.

172
00:17:26,973 --> 00:17:31,727
- So we have to resist.
- <i>That's right!</i>

173
00:17:32,536 --> 00:17:34,099
- Strike!
- Of course!

174
00:17:34,136 --> 00:17:37,484
- That would be best!
- Well, that's easier said.

175
00:17:38,122 --> 00:17:42,474
We'll lose our last pennies too.
What should I live off?

176
00:17:42,511 --> 00:17:46,048
Can you live off this? Wise guy.

177
00:17:46,085 --> 00:17:48,055
Look at this.

178
00:17:49,083 --> 00:17:51,007
Brother Thälmann.

179
00:17:51,378 --> 00:17:57,091
Tanne says you can't strike
in a crisis. Is that true?

180
00:17:59,159 --> 00:18:05,904
Tarnow fears we'll worsen the crisis
by striking. Weakening capitalism.

181
00:18:05,941 --> 00:18:09,322
So what?
That's just what we want.

182
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,364
Capitalism must be
under constant fire!

183
00:18:12,401 --> 00:18:16,406
We don't care about the interests
of capitalists, only of workers!

184
00:18:16,443 --> 00:18:21,581
Millions are waiting for work!
And we will strike?

185
00:18:22,478 --> 00:18:26,461
It's uncertain if unorganized
workers will participate.

186
00:18:26,498 --> 00:18:28,471
And the families?

187
00:18:28,508 --> 00:18:33,394
The women are scared. They'll
surely keep us from fighting.

188
00:18:33,431 --> 00:18:38,061
In the Mansfeld area where miners
have been on strike for weeks,

189
00:18:38,098 --> 00:18:40,133
a woman said:

190
00:18:40,170 --> 00:18:45,590
"I made a vow to be true to my
husband, I'll keep it on strike too."

191
00:18:46,399 --> 00:18:48,980
Aren't we underestimating
our strength?

192
00:18:49,017 --> 00:18:52,041
Aren't we underestimating
solidarity?

193
00:18:52,365 --> 00:18:57,507
One finger may be broken
but five fingers are a fist!

Mr. Mayor.
Sir.

218
00:20:31,805 --> 00:20:35,065
2.200 troops in the
Essen district at your disposal.

219
00:20:35,102 --> 00:20:36,500
Thanks.

220
00:20:38,585 --> 00:20:41,747
You've received my reports,
Comrade Severing.

221
00:20:41,784 --> 00:20:45,710
Thälmann made an impact.
An unfortunate development.

222
00:20:45,747 --> 00:20:48,107
I have special authority
from the government.

223
00:20:48,144 --> 00:20:51,805
The Ruhr area is not Mansfeld.
Thälmann will be wrong.

224
00:20:51,941 --> 00:20:55,234
We now have assurances
of international solidarity

225
00:20:55,271 --> 00:21:01,694
from miners of the Soviet Union,
France, England, Czechoslovakia,

226
00:21:01,731 --> 00:21:05,744
- Belgium and Poland.
- Your compatriots joined too.

227
00:21:05,781 --> 00:21:10,946
It's up to us now, our
determined and united efforts.

228
00:21:10,983 --> 00:21:13,325
<i>Glückauf,</i> everyone!

229
00:21:13,362 --> 00:21:19,225
I'm no great speaker. And I
won't say much, but I will say this.

230
00:21:19,262 --> 00:21:24,671
It can't go on like this.
And so, strike!

231
00:21:26,918 --> 00:21:29,068
We're with you.

232
00:21:29,105 --> 00:21:33,482
These are our demands:
Wages must not be reduced,

233
00:21:33,519 --> 00:21:35,668
the layoffs must be rescinded.

234
00:21:35,705 --> 00:21:39,899
If the industrialists refuse,
every mine goes on strike.

235
00:21:40,328 --> 00:21:42,901
You haven't said a word yet.

236
00:21:43,244 --> 00:21:45,167
What do you think, brother?

237
00:21:45,587 --> 00:21:50,072
Yes, well...
The demands are right.

238
00:21:50,415 --> 00:21:56,431
But passing a strike resolution in
the whole Ruhr area is not so easy.

239
00:21:56,467 --> 00:21:59,125
Brother Florin
knows this too.

240
00:21:59,162 --> 00:22:01,517
Time is running short.
The enemy never sleeps.

241
00:22:01,553 --> 00:22:05,870
Neither do we. We burn the midnight
oil, so the night will have to do.

242
00:22:05,907 --> 00:22:10,881
Let me say this, brother.
First the leather, then the boot.

243
00:22:10,918 --> 00:22:12,349
What do you mean?

244
00:22:12,385 --> 00:22:18,204
We must first know where we stand.
Carefully prepare, then it will work.

245
00:22:18,241 --> 00:22:22,934
As we say in Poland,
first the leather, then the boot.

246
00:22:28,761 --> 00:22:32,011
<i>To the German people</i>

247
00:22:38,651 --> 00:22:42,222
The Ruhr area labor dispute
threatens warship construction.

248
00:22:42,259 --> 00:22:45,281
We can't rule on it
without the privy councillor.

249
00:22:45,416 --> 00:22:50,459
Granted, Councillor, the precision
of the German worker is well-known.

250
00:22:50,496 --> 00:22:53,301
- Above all, our worker is cheap.
- Not expensive.

251
00:22:53,338 --> 00:22:59,934
And yet, <i>United Steels</i> worries
about the future of your loans.

252
00:23:01,450 --> 00:23:06,390
The new defense bill promises a
great boost to our production.

253
00:23:06,427 --> 00:23:10,151
Armored cruisers. New tank models.

254
00:23:10,188 --> 00:23:13,175
Significant state subsidies
are on the horizon.

255
00:23:13,212 --> 00:23:19,763
These state subsidies will hardly
cover the interest on our loans.

256
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:21,717
I'll say it plainly.

257
00:23:21,754 --> 00:23:25,792
We don't like to see our
dollars in a trembling hand.

258
00:23:25,829 --> 00:23:29,261
Only when Germany is
ruled by a strong hand--

259
00:23:29,298 --> 00:23:33,229
- Mr. McFuller, the U.S. embassy.
- Yes, yes.

260
00:23:34,047 --> 00:23:37,068
- Mr. Councillor, my I remind you?
- Yes.

261
00:23:37,460 --> 00:23:39,876
The parliamentary session.

262
00:23:41,637 --> 00:23:45,193
It's clear, Mr. von Papen.
Soldiers belong at the helm.

263
00:23:45,230 --> 00:23:49,566
Our time is coming, general. Let's
await the presidential election.

264
00:23:49,603 --> 00:23:53,248
General, permission to report:
Thälmann is speaking.

265
00:23:57,925 --> 00:24:00,631
Our response to the government:

266
00:24:00,668 --> 00:24:06,077
We Communists utterly reject
the proposed defense budget.

267
00:24:09,356 --> 00:24:13,457
As declared in our program
of national and social liberation,

268
00:24:13,494 --> 00:24:18,529
rearming the militarists threatens
our people with a new war disaster.

269
00:24:18,566 --> 00:24:22,026
That's treason!
Germany, awake.

270
00:24:22,063 --> 00:24:24,807
<i>Germany, awake!</i>

271
00:24:24,844 --> 00:24:29,119
National liberation can never be
achieved through war and armament.

272
00:24:29,156 --> 00:24:34,093
It's deeply tied to social liberation,
to the overthrow of capitalism.

273
00:24:34,130 --> 00:24:37,524
We don't want Bolshevist chaos!

274
00:24:39,556 --> 00:24:41,436
On a sixth of the earth,

275
00:24:41,473 --> 00:24:44,846
workers proved they
can live without capitalists.

276
00:24:44,883 --> 00:24:49,484
But capitalists have never proven
they can live without workers.

277
00:24:50,946 --> 00:24:54,850
That struck home!
Well done, Teddy!

278
00:24:57,926 --> 00:25:01,602
So Thälmann wants
to disarm Germany.

279
00:25:01,639 --> 00:25:05,116
You're wrong. We want
a defense-capable people

280
00:25:05,153 --> 00:25:08,623
when the fate of our people
is in the hands of the people.

281
00:25:08,660 --> 00:25:11,087
Like in the Soviet Union.

282
00:25:13,610 --> 00:25:20,176
We're fighting relentlessly against
capitalism at home and abroad.

283
00:25:20,213 --> 00:25:24,789
Especially the Treaty of Versailles
and the American Young Plan.

284
00:25:24,826 --> 00:25:29,376
So then down with Versailles!
Down with the Young Plan!

285
00:25:29,413 --> 00:25:34,488
<i>Down with Versailles!
Germany, awake!</i>

286
00:25:34,525 --> 00:25:38,410
Those who support capitalism,
and you do it most furiously,

287
00:25:38,447 --> 00:25:42,652
also support the slavery of
Versailles and the Young Plan.

288
00:25:50,797 --> 00:25:53,965
These gentlemen wish to
speak to a communist legislator.

289
00:25:54,002 --> 00:25:56,869
- <i>Glückauf,</i> comrades.
- <i>Glückauf,</i> Brother Florin.

290
00:25:56,906 --> 00:25:59,485
<i>Glückauf.</i>
I heard already, it worked.

291
00:25:59,522 --> 00:26:02,101
Are we in time?
Is Thälmann speaking?

292
00:26:02,138 --> 00:26:06,317
Teddy's speaking. We're waiting
for you. Shall we, comrades?

293
00:26:06,452 --> 00:26:10,438
But the American, English,
and French capitalists

294
00:26:10,475 --> 00:26:13,534
who want to use the resurgence
of German imperialism

295
00:26:13,571 --> 00:26:17,597
as a battering ram against
the Soviet Union are wrong!

296
00:26:17,634 --> 00:26:23,187
This German imperialism will turn
its weapons at these countries too.

297
00:26:30,875 --> 00:26:37,116
But the working class has long been
aware of its tremendous power again.

298
00:26:37,153 --> 00:26:40,480
Here is proof of the
workers' will to fight.

299
00:26:40,517 --> 00:26:43,927
300,000 miners of the Ruhr area
laid down their work

300
00:26:43,964 --> 00:26:49,784
and 160,000 striking English
workers stand by them.

301
00:26:52,198 --> 00:26:56,339
Outrageous! This is a violation of
government resolutions.

302
00:26:57,691 --> 00:27:01,571
The arbitration committee
hasn't convened yet!

303
00:27:01,608 --> 00:27:05,415
The union has not
taken a position yet!

304
00:27:05,452 --> 00:27:08,953
This is a violation
of law and order!

305
00:27:09,593 --> 00:27:11,687
Only one law matters to us.

306
00:27:11,724 --> 00:27:15,519
The interests of the
German working people!

307
00:27:17,937 --> 00:27:21,670
Mr. Thälmann,
I call you to order.

308
00:27:22,097 --> 00:27:27,465
The emergency decrees were
even signed by the President.

309
00:27:28,421 --> 00:27:31,922
We also oppose the
Republic being headed

310
00:27:31,959 --> 00:27:38,065
by Field Marshal von Hindenburg,
a tool of capital and nobility.

311
00:27:39,318 --> 00:27:45,223
Mr. Thälmann. You're forcing
me to take more drastic measures.

312
00:27:45,717 --> 00:27:48,405
A Hindenburg
who boasts that,

313
00:27:48,442 --> 00:27:53,671
other than the Bible and the drill
regulations, he's never read a book.

314
00:27:53,708 --> 00:27:56,858
Mr. Thälmann, for the last time...

315
00:27:56,895 --> 00:28:02,743
A Hindenburg who coined the phrase:
"War does me good like a spa day!"

316
00:28:10,885 --> 00:28:14,526
Gravely concerned about the
peaceful development of Germany

317
00:28:14,563 --> 00:28:18,706
we call out to workers,
farmers and pensioners:

318
00:28:18,743 --> 00:28:21,401
We Communists are the only party

319
00:28:21,438 --> 00:28:25,467
that can solve all key issues of
German and international politics

320
00:28:25,504 --> 00:28:30,514
without enslaving foreign nations,
without wars of conquest.

321
00:28:33,614 --> 00:28:39,317
<i>Vote Thälmann
for President</i>

322
00:28:39,952 --> 00:28:43,928
<i>A vote for Hindenburg
is a vote for Hitler!</i>

323
00:28:43,965 --> 00:28:47,507
<i>A vote for Hitler
is a vote for war!</i>

324
00:28:51,015 --> 00:28:54,512
Steel Helmet Association Berlin,
at attention!

325
00:28:55,859 --> 00:28:59,192
Comrades, <i>Front heil!</i>

326
00:28:59,229 --> 00:29:01,185
<i>Front heil!</i>

327
00:29:01,222 --> 00:29:03,860
Flags, march!

328
00:29:13,048 --> 00:29:17,931
<i>SPD
Berlin and Brandenburg</i>

329
00:29:18,665 --> 00:29:22,822
You should be ashamed. All the
officials are gathered, but you,

330
00:29:22,859 --> 00:29:25,571
you're sulking and
skulking at home.

331
00:29:25,608 --> 00:29:29,020
I won't be a standard-bearer for
Field Marshal von Hindenburg.

332
00:29:29,057 --> 00:29:30,772
Not me.

333
00:29:30,809 --> 00:29:33,846
For him, the war
was like a spa day.

334
00:29:33,883 --> 00:29:36,443
For my son...
it took his life.

335
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,499
Don't be so sentimental,
it's a matter of politics.

336
00:29:39,536 --> 00:29:43,101
That's just why. I won't be a
standard-bearer for Hindenburg.

337
00:29:43,138 --> 00:29:45,351
<i>A vote for Hindenburg
is a vote for Hitler!</i>

338
00:29:45,388 --> 00:29:48,005
<i>A vote for Hitler
is a vote for war!</i>

339
00:29:48,042 --> 00:29:51,705
<i>A vote for Hindenburg
is a vote for Hitler!</i>

340
00:29:51,742 --> 00:29:53,780
<i>A vote for Hitler
is a vote for war!</i>

341
00:29:53,817 --> 00:29:56,757
Suppose you'll
vote for Thälmann.

342
00:29:57,332 --> 00:30:00,712
I'd rather follow 10 Hindenburgs
than one Communist.

343
00:30:00,749 --> 00:30:03,289
I'm not voting for Thälmann.

344
00:30:04,578 --> 00:30:07,570
But not for Hindenburg either!

345
00:30:07,607 --> 00:30:08,849
I've had it.

346
00:30:08,886 --> 00:30:13,347
If you don't keep discipline now
and bring the flag right away...

347
00:30:13,384 --> 00:30:17,616
I'd expect more from
old Social Democrats.

348
00:30:29,852 --> 00:30:37,852
- <i>Vote Hindenburg</i>
- <i>SPD Berlin and Brandenburg</i>

349
00:30:43,328 --> 00:30:47,978
Don't be so stiff-necked, Robert.
Hindenburg doesn't excite me either.

350
00:30:48,015 --> 00:30:51,965
But as important works councillors,
as old Social Democrats,

351
00:30:52,001 --> 00:30:55,445
we shouldn't betray the party.
You can have your opinions.

352
00:30:55,482 --> 00:30:59,240
But publicly, we have to
stand together as one.

353
00:31:30,384 --> 00:31:34,776
Vote for Thälmann,
candidate of the poor.

354
00:31:34,813 --> 00:31:39,645
For bread and work.
Election rally, Teddy speech.

355
00:31:39,682 --> 00:31:43,238
Vote for Thälmann,
for bread and work.

356
00:31:43,275 --> 00:31:47,000
KPD election rally.
Thälmann speech.

373
00:33:08,089 --> 00:33:13,172
These Social Democrats. I've had it
up to here. They finally did it.

374
00:33:13,209 --> 00:33:16,896
Hindenburg and Papen are ahead
and gave free rein to the SA.

375
00:33:16,933 --> 00:33:21,866
And the Social Democrat workers,
who made their bed, are at a loss.

376
00:33:21,903 --> 00:33:24,291
They want to act but
of course they do nothing,

377
00:33:24,327 --> 00:33:26,835
since there's no
blessing from above.

378
00:33:26,872 --> 00:33:32,087
They can't be worked with.
Inept, insufferable, incorrigible!

379
00:33:34,528 --> 00:33:39,140
Did you go to the transport office?
What are the workers saying?

380
00:33:39,117 --> 00:33:43,302
Did you talk to works council chair
Dirhagen, like we agreed?

381
00:33:43,339 --> 00:33:47,618
He can kick rocks. Parading
that flag around for Hindenburg.

382
00:33:47,655 --> 00:33:50,388
They suit each other.

383
00:33:50,425 --> 00:33:52,530
I don't have the
nerve anymore!

384
00:33:52,567 --> 00:33:56,381
You can't chase after everyone.
Where would that get us?

385
00:33:57,136 --> 00:33:59,863
Just what I needed.

386
00:34:01,371 --> 00:34:04,082
Now I'm the bad guy.

387
00:34:05,759 --> 00:34:07,656
Artje.

388
00:34:12,068 --> 00:34:15,439
We founded the party
together in Hamburg.

389
00:34:15,476 --> 00:34:19,277
Had setbacks.
Had victories.

390
00:34:21,313 --> 00:34:23,645
How is that, Artje?

391
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:28,812
When we win,
whom do we owe it to?

392
00:34:28,849 --> 00:34:30,978
The party.

393
00:34:31,015 --> 00:34:35,345
And when we make mistakes,
where do we find them?

394
00:34:37,501 --> 00:34:40,205
With ourselves.

395
00:34:43,823 --> 00:34:48,670
- Comrades, we cannot give in.
- The decision can't be hard for him.

396
00:34:48,706 --> 00:34:53,245
- The membership is behind Severing.
- And the police too.

397
00:34:53,282 --> 00:34:56,379
- Aren't they pinkos?
- Sure thing!

398
00:34:56,416 --> 00:34:58,149
What have you got here?

399
00:34:58,186 --> 00:35:00,059
- What's going on?
- Hold it!

400
00:35:00,096 --> 00:35:04,476
- Take the thing off! Now!
- It's missing from my collection!

401
00:35:05,503 --> 00:35:08,452
- Outrageous!
- Unbelievable!

402
00:35:08,489 --> 00:35:11,735
- Why didn't you step in?
- What can I do?

403
00:35:11,772 --> 00:35:14,041
I'm a Social Democrat too.

404
00:35:14,078 --> 00:35:18,135
We have orders not to
intervene in such incidents.

405
00:35:18,458 --> 00:35:22,077
This is an untenable,
undignified situation.

406
00:35:22,114 --> 00:35:25,058
People are no longer
safe on the street.

407
00:35:25,095 --> 00:35:30,049
Our workforce expects the party
executive and the government to act.

408
00:35:30,086 --> 00:35:35,723
Don't stand idly by as the reaction
gets brazen and winds up to attack.

409
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:39,310
Comrades, don't fall for the
communist agitation slogans.

410
00:35:39,351 --> 00:35:44,629
What, slogans? The SA is
marching in the streets again.

411
00:35:44,666 --> 00:35:46,699
If nobody puts a stop
to Papen...

412
00:35:46,736 --> 00:35:49,625
He'll stop at nothing.
He'll rip up the constitution.

413
00:35:49,662 --> 00:35:52,581
He'll do no such thing.
Hindenburg would never allow it.

414
00:35:52,618 --> 00:35:57,805
And if he did, I still have my
police, who are united behind me.

415
00:35:57,842 --> 00:36:01,520
- Right, Chief?
- Yes, Sir Minister.

416
00:36:01,557 --> 00:36:03,735
Even better, Comrade Severing.

417
00:36:03,772 --> 00:36:07,031
All the easier for labor
militancy to succeed.

418
00:36:07,068 --> 00:36:11,538
Labor militancy?
We're beyond that stage.

419
00:36:11,575 --> 00:36:17,705
Only real power matters.
And I'm in power in Prussia.

420
00:36:17,742 --> 00:36:20,079
Excuse me, state business.

421
00:36:21,631 --> 00:36:24,593
What do I tell the workforce?

422
00:36:28,269 --> 00:36:30,059
Sir Minister.

423
00:36:30,096 --> 00:36:34,966
His Excellency President Hindenburg
declared a state of emergency...

424
00:36:35,003 --> 00:36:38,325
and appointed Chancellor von Papen
as Commissioner of Prussia.

425
00:36:38,362 --> 00:36:40,227
- What?
- Secondly...

426
00:36:40,264 --> 00:36:44,731
Executive authority is transferred
to Lieutenant-General von Rundstedt.

427
00:36:44,768 --> 00:36:46,646
Thirdly,

428
00:36:46,683 --> 00:36:49,837
Sir Minister, you are
removed from office.

429
00:36:49,874 --> 00:36:52,384
Comrade Severing!

430
00:36:55,167 --> 00:36:58,464
I'll file a complaint
with the State Court.

431
00:36:58,501 --> 00:37:01,641
By all means,
if it pleases you.

432
00:37:02,565 --> 00:37:05,241
I'll yield only to force.

433
00:37:09,184 --> 00:37:12,508
What kind of force
would you like?

434
00:37:22,903 --> 00:37:26,112
What can you say? Goddamn.

435
00:37:26,260 --> 00:37:29,215
<i>STATE OF EMERGENCY</i>

436
00:37:29,258 --> 00:37:34,620
What? The military wants to
rule again? Smells foul.

437
00:37:34,657 --> 00:37:37,893
No assembly!
Keep moving! You too.

438
00:37:37,941 --> 00:37:41,377
Do not form crowds!
Assembly has been banned!

439
00:37:42,358 --> 00:37:44,215
Can't you read?

440
00:37:45,405 --> 00:37:47,113
Go on!

441
00:37:48,642 --> 00:37:53,910
We witnessed all that with Severing.
Snubbing us like that.

442
00:37:53,947 --> 00:38:00,119
Boasting of his power, and then
not using it. Surrendering feebly.

443
00:38:00,156 --> 00:38:02,804
It's beyond anything
I thought possible.

444
00:38:02,841 --> 00:38:07,138
Without a peep, in front of
an officer and three men.

445
00:38:07,174 --> 00:38:09,551
Damn vile.

446
00:38:11,983 --> 00:38:13,989
And now?

447
00:38:16,333 --> 00:38:19,086
What's to be done, brothers?

448
00:38:22,843 --> 00:38:27,870
I've just come from the Siemens
factories. I was at Borsig too.

449
00:38:27,907 --> 00:38:32,840
The workers are ready to stand
up to Papen, Hitler's lackey.

450
00:38:32,877 --> 00:38:37,394
Everyone wants to.
And yet, nothing happens. Why?

451
00:38:37,431 --> 00:38:41,173
The SPD party executive
just rejected our offer of

452
00:38:41,210 --> 00:38:45,563
a joint struggle against
Papen and the reaction.

453
00:38:49,709 --> 00:38:54,623
Class comrades.
I'm repeating our offer again.

454
00:38:54,660 --> 00:38:58,984
We place no conditions on
our cooperation except one.

455
00:38:59,021 --> 00:39:04,431
To fight decisively against the
reaction. Against fascism and war.

456
00:39:05,459 --> 00:39:08,061
No party line divides us.

457
00:39:08,098 --> 00:39:11,956
Class brothers.
Let us shake hands.

458
00:39:11,993 --> 00:39:14,001
Bravo!

459
00:39:16,116 --> 00:39:18,116
Bravo!

460
00:39:19,367 --> 00:39:22,281
But are you being genuine,
Brother Thälmann?

461
00:39:22,318 --> 00:39:25,454
That's too far.
That's strong stuff.

462
00:39:25,491 --> 00:39:27,621
How so?

463
00:39:27,658 --> 00:39:30,740
Let everyone ask
what's bothering them.

464
00:39:30,777 --> 00:39:33,555
That's good, Brother Dirhagen.

465
00:39:34,847 --> 00:39:37,510
In light of the looming threat

466
00:39:37,547 --> 00:39:43,014
that fascism could make Germany a
country of gallows and burning stakes,

467
00:39:43,051 --> 00:39:46,351
shouldn't we be genuine?

468
00:39:46,388 --> 00:39:48,058
In light of the looming threat

469
00:39:48,094 --> 00:39:52,625
that Europe could be riddled with
trenches and mass graves again,

470
00:39:52,662 --> 00:39:55,383
shouldn't we be genuine?

471
00:39:55,420 --> 00:39:57,920
In light of all these threats,

472
00:39:57,956 --> 00:40:03,322
as we Communists talk of
united labor class militancy,

473
00:40:03,359 --> 00:40:06,128
shouldn't we be genuine?

474
00:40:07,138 --> 00:40:10,403
<i>PARIS
OCTOBER 1932</i>

475
00:40:27,369 --> 00:40:32,258
<i>The paper spreading l'Humanite!
The worker's paper!</i>

476
00:41:02,322 --> 00:41:04,493
<i>Comrades!</i>

477
00:41:04,826 --> 00:41:09,657
<i>Since this evening's meeting
will have an exceptional speaker,</i>

478
00:41:09,694 --> 00:41:14,212
<i>the organizing committee decided
to hold it behind closed doors.</i>

479
00:41:14,499 --> 00:41:16,659
<i>Close the doors!</i>

480
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:41,048
<i>My dear comrades!</i>

481
00:41:41,085 --> 00:41:47,332
<i>A lifelong friend,
faithful and loyal comrade in arms</i>

482
00:41:47,369 --> 00:41:54,337
<i>the best son of the German people,
our comrade Ernst Thälmann,</i>

483
00:41:54,374 --> 00:41:59,718
<i>will take the stage
to make an urgent appeal</i>

484
00:41:59,755 --> 00:42:03,185
<i>to all honest people
of this country.</i>

485
00:42:30,309 --> 00:42:37,547
Comrades, here in Paris,
the city of the 1871 <i>Commune</i>,

486
00:42:37,584 --> 00:42:41,633
shining beacon of the
revolutionary labor movement,

487
00:42:41,670 --> 00:42:47,061
today, on the 15th anniversary of
the victorious October revolution,

488
00:42:47,098 --> 00:42:53,214
I bring charges against the capitalist
governments of both our countries!

489
00:42:53,251 --> 00:42:56,590
<i>Comrades, here in Paris...</i>

490
00:43:02,819 --> 00:43:06,912
- <i>A Mister...</i>
- <i>Good evening, Commissioner.</i>

491
00:43:06,949 --> 00:43:08,701
Monsieur.

492
00:43:08,738 --> 00:43:11,936
- <i>To what do we owe the pleasure?</i>
- <i>Good evening, good evening.</i>

493
00:43:11,973 --> 00:43:17,139
<i>A Mister Thälmann,
unwanted foreigner, is in this hall.</i>

494
00:43:22,930 --> 00:43:26,186
<i>An unwanted foreigner?
Yet so eagerly received.</i>

495
00:43:26,223 --> 00:43:29,288
<i>I have a deportation
order for this man!</i>

496
00:43:29,325 --> 00:43:33,423
<i>But I don't know if
Mr. Thälmann is inside.</i>

497
00:43:34,426 --> 00:43:38,565
<i>The law doesn't require us
to verify everyone's identity.</i>

498
00:43:38,602 --> 00:43:40,886
<i>Bah, the law!</i>

499
00:43:40,923 --> 00:43:45,207
<i>If you don't want the law,
you can have us instead.</i>

500
00:43:45,980 --> 00:43:47,397
<i>Gentlemen...</i>

501
00:43:47,434 --> 00:43:53,447
<i>Bear in mind that I'm a sworn
officer exercising my duties.</i>

502
00:44:10,807 --> 00:44:14,872
Comrades, your fellow sufferer,
the German worker and farmer,

503
00:44:14,909 --> 00:44:18,320
is not your enemy,
but your natural ally.

504
00:44:18,357 --> 00:44:22,885
Just as the French worker is not
the enemy of German workers,

505
00:44:22,922 --> 00:44:26,603
but their class brother,
their comrade.

506
00:44:28,695 --> 00:44:32,267
And since there's a
mounting danger of war

507
00:44:32,304 --> 00:44:36,579
which the imperialists of Germany
and France are preparing for,

508
00:44:36,616 --> 00:44:42,002
we must be fully committed to
the great words of Karl Liebknecht:

509
00:44:42,039 --> 00:44:45,332
The main enemy is at home!

510
00:44:51,491 --> 00:44:54,423
When the bourgeoisie
campaigns for armament,

511
00:44:54,460 --> 00:44:57,412
we Communists call to the masses:

512
00:44:57,449 --> 00:44:59,922
Weapons in the hand
of the ruling class

513
00:44:59,959 --> 00:45:03,419
are weapons against
the working people.

514
00:45:06,911 --> 00:45:10,183
Down with the warmongers
in Germany and France!

515
00:45:10,220 --> 00:45:13,845
Down with war!
<i>À bas la guerre!</i>

516
00:45:13,882 --> 00:45:16,650

L'Humanité! <i>Thälmann in Paris!</i>

528
00:46:14,899 --> 00:46:21,129
BZ! BZ noon edition!
French Police seek Thälmann!

529
00:46:36,403 --> 00:46:39,425
- <i>Bonjour.</i>
- <i>Comrade Thälmann.</i>

530
00:47:05,582 --> 00:47:09,295
14 years ago,
almost to the day.

531
00:47:09,332 --> 00:47:13,221
In the last hours of the war.

532
00:47:13,257 --> 00:47:16,366
We were past this hill.

533
00:47:16,403 --> 00:47:19,427
And we were on the other side.

534
00:48:02,527 --> 00:48:06,893
I want to salute all the
dead of the World War

535
00:48:06,930 --> 00:48:11,444
and tell them that
we'll fight relentlessly

536
00:48:11,481 --> 00:48:15,110
to prevent another war.

537
00:48:15,954 --> 00:48:19,410
We could live well
as brothers.

538
00:48:19,997 --> 00:48:23,054
To me and the old
front-line soldiers,

539
00:48:23,091 --> 00:48:27,026
the war has not
ended since 1914.

540
00:48:27,063 --> 00:48:30,311
And when the communist boss
Thälman claims

541
00:48:30,348 --> 00:48:34,131
to be able to abolish the
Treaty of Versailles peacefully,

542
00:48:34,168 --> 00:48:37,499
he is deceiving our nation!

543
00:48:37,536 --> 00:48:43,448
We are too German to
compare us to another nation!

544
00:48:45,459 --> 00:48:51,249
But least of all to
negroid Frenchlings!

545
00:48:51,286 --> 00:48:56,323
To the racial mishmash
that calls itself France.

546
00:48:57,714 --> 00:49:01,034
And to Jewish Bolshevist Russia,

547
00:49:01,071 --> 00:49:06,005
with whom we will
one day speak German.

548
00:49:10,038 --> 00:49:14,071
The bottling industry has
promised 2% of their export profits

549
00:49:14,108 --> 00:49:15,473
for our election fund.

550
00:49:15,510 --> 00:49:18,085
- How much is that?
- Several million.

551
00:49:18,122 --> 00:49:20,565
Give our beloved Führer
three cheers of

552
00:49:20,602 --> 00:49:25,504
<i>Sieg Heil!</i>

553
00:49:29,904 --> 00:49:33,888
I will once again be talking
to you as a prophet.

554
00:49:33,925 --> 00:49:41,173
This election will go down in history
as a gigantic victory for my idea.

555
00:49:41,325 --> 00:49:43,749
Workers of Hamburg!

556
00:49:43,786 --> 00:49:48,233
We don't say: "Vote for Thälmann
and you'll have work and bread."

557
00:49:48,270 --> 00:49:51,601
We say:
It depends on you.

558
00:49:51,638 --> 00:49:54,925
The fateful question of
the German people is:

559
00:49:54,962 --> 00:49:57,481
Regress or progress?

560
00:49:57,518 --> 00:50:00,370
War or peace?

561
00:50:00,407 --> 00:50:03,356
Hitler or Thälmann?

562
00:50:03,513 --> 00:50:06,916
<i>Against fascism and war!</i>

563
00:50:12,438 --> 00:50:16,170
The <i>Rote Fahne!</i>
Election campaign climax!

564
00:50:16,207 --> 00:50:19,159
Only unity can make
the working class strong.

565
00:50:19,196 --> 00:50:23,665
Only by fighting can it be
the leading force of the nation!

566
00:50:24,666 --> 00:50:27,366
<i>Thälmann in Westfalen Hall</i>

567
00:50:27,403 --> 00:50:30,016
<i>Thälmann in Sportpalast</i>

568
00:50:30,053 --> 00:50:33,648
- <i>Thälmann draws 200,000 in Leipzig</i>
- Last week's 800 strikes

569
00:50:33,685 --> 00:50:37,577
are both a fight against
the growing fascist threat,

570
00:50:37,614 --> 00:50:44,306
and proof that the working class
and the nation share the same goals!

571
00:50:44,742 --> 00:50:47,301
Walter Ulbricht urges:
"Workers of Berlin,

572
00:50:47,338 --> 00:50:50,170
support the striking
traffic workers!"

573
00:50:50,619 --> 00:50:55,809
Just now, Brother Dirhagen told me
he's been expelled from the union

574
00:50:55,846 --> 00:50:59,619
just for being the chairman
of your strike committee!

575
00:51:01,527 --> 00:51:03,835
Many of you went
through the same thing.

576
00:51:03,872 --> 00:51:08,976
I was kicked out too, after decades
in the traffic workers' union.

577
00:51:09,013 --> 00:51:11,020
And why?

578
00:51:11,057 --> 00:51:13,807
Because I'm chairman of the KPD!

579
00:51:13,844 --> 00:51:16,509
Yes! I plead guilty

580
00:51:16,546 --> 00:51:20,819
to be chairman of the party of
Karl Liebknecht & Rosa Luxemburg!

581
00:51:20,856 --> 00:51:25,073
I plead guilty to fighting
hunger and exploitation!

582
00:51:25,110 --> 00:51:27,958
Guilty to fighting against war!

Workers of Berlin.

593
00:52:04,333 --> 00:52:09,525
The Nazis have suffered
a huge electoral defeat.

594
00:52:09,877 --> 00:52:13,963
They have lost two million votes.

595
00:52:18,298 --> 00:52:21,676
But our Communist Party

596
00:52:21,720 --> 00:52:27,285
has become the largest
labor party in many cities.

597
00:52:27,322 --> 00:52:33,260
And in Berlin we're the
largest of all parties!

598
00:52:35,415 --> 00:52:37,402
<i>3 cheers for the
Communist Party!</i>

599
00:52:37,439 --> 00:52:41,212
<i>Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!</i>

600
00:52:41,249 --> 00:52:46,174
<i>Red Front! Red Front! Red Front!</i>

601
00:52:49,450 --> 00:52:52,999
A great victory after
a tough few months.

602
00:52:53,036 --> 00:52:56,288
A heavy blow against fascism.

603
00:52:56,325 --> 00:53:02,843
It won't be the last if the united
workers' front finally manifests.

604
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:07,173
Unity and yet more unity!
That is our call.

605
00:53:07,306 --> 00:53:12,644
If 2 million donkey voters leave me,
I won't be swayed from my path!

606
00:53:12,681 --> 00:53:15,203
- My Führer, I beg you.
- I will not!

607
00:53:15,240 --> 00:53:19,061
- Don't take it to heart.
- To do this to me!

608
00:53:19,098 --> 00:53:25,235
Munich, yes, listening.
NSDAP, 150,000.

609
00:53:25,564 --> 00:53:32,202
Meet von Papen at once. Make him
see, our grave is his grave too!

610
00:53:33,631 --> 00:53:36,975
- My Führer, please listen.
- I will not permit

611
00:53:37,012 --> 00:53:41,351
these Jewish Bolshevist globalists
to knock us off our path!

612
00:53:41,388 --> 00:53:43,849
I will make these criminals--

613
00:53:44,998 --> 00:53:49,160
Workers won't accept
a coup by Hitler without a fight.

614
00:53:49,197 --> 00:53:52,119
And yet, there'll be attempts
to push Hitler into power.

615
00:53:52,156 --> 00:53:57,843
Once he's on top... It's obvious.
Goebbels blatantly said it:

616
00:53:57,880 --> 00:54:02,979
"Legally, all the way to the gallows,
but there <i>will</i> be hangings."

617
00:54:04,919 --> 00:54:09,257
The Nazis will crack down ruthlessly
on any worker who resists.

618
00:54:09,294 --> 00:54:13,725
SPD, KPD, or unaffiliated,
they'll be ruthless.

619
00:54:15,204 --> 00:54:20,775
Walter. You must go back to the SPD
board yourself. We'll meet later.

620
00:54:20,812 --> 00:54:23,965
I'll be home, writing the
party's New Year's statement.

621
00:54:24,002 --> 00:54:28,359
This time, I'll address all workers.
The unaffiliated, the Christians.

622
00:54:28,396 --> 00:54:31,121
In this fateful hour,
everyone must be galvanized.

623
00:54:31,158 --> 00:54:33,467
There's Herrmann Martin.

624
00:54:34,489 --> 00:54:36,819
Comrades, some intel.

625
00:54:36,856 --> 00:54:40,018
The Ruhr industrialists are
hosting Hitler again this evening.

626
00:54:40,123 --> 00:54:44,665
Thälmann spoke in the Ruhr again
yesterday. I got a detailed report.

627
00:54:44,702 --> 00:54:48,995
Unbelievable how popular he is.
And not just among Communists.

628
00:54:49,032 --> 00:54:51,152
Let's not fool ourselves,
gentlemen.

629
00:54:51,189 --> 00:54:56,175
If we don't clamp down, the year '33
will give us nasty surprises.

630
00:54:56,212 --> 00:54:58,260
Force is not an option.

631
00:54:58,298 --> 00:55:02,623
Once Hitler is made socially
acceptable, it all goes to plan.

632
00:55:02,660 --> 00:55:08,333
First we'll cash the KPD,
then the SPD, and then the unions.

633
00:55:09,568 --> 00:55:15,742
Hitler would be good at poker.
Decent bluff. But we know his hand.

634
00:55:15,779 --> 00:55:20,858
I don't know. Don't be hasty.
We might easily upset France.

635
00:55:20,895 --> 00:55:26,375
If you tarry much longer,
you can easily upset America.

636
00:55:27,263 --> 00:55:32,812
... don't stumble over the word
"socialism". Judge me by my actions.

637
00:55:32,849 --> 00:55:36,449
The war against global Bolshevism
will begin here in Germany.

638
00:55:36,486 --> 00:55:38,326
This is where I see my...

639
00:55:39,841 --> 00:55:45,195
I don't know. Bet on Hitler?
What about next election?

640
00:55:45,232 --> 00:55:48,969
The time for elections
is over, good sir.

641
00:55:49,006 --> 00:55:52,373
Or do you want the Communists
to make further gains?

642
00:56:16,070 --> 00:56:18,927
- Evening, Änne!
- Hey, Ernst. Need something?

643
00:56:18,964 --> 00:56:20,964
Don't get up.

644
00:56:26,356 --> 00:56:29,744
So, how are you feeling, Änne?

645
00:56:30,771 --> 00:56:34,007
It's almost time, Teddy.
I can feel it.

646
00:56:34,044 --> 00:56:38,314
See, the date will
be 1933 after all.

647
00:56:40,867 --> 00:56:44,009
Where on earth is Fiete?

648
00:56:44,046 --> 00:56:46,140
Don't worry, Änne.

649
00:56:46,177 --> 00:56:50,241
He'll come today to stay
with you until it's time, I'm sure.

650
00:56:54,384 --> 00:56:57,088
Here's something for you,
to pass the time.

651
00:56:57,124 --> 00:56:58,276
Thanks.

652
00:56:58,313 --> 00:57:02,494
But you'll have to excuse me,
the comrades are waiting.

653
00:57:06,404 --> 00:57:09,236
"How the steel was tempered".

654
00:57:09,334 --> 00:57:10,943
Enough already!

655
00:57:10,980 --> 00:57:14,960
Not another word about a
united front with the Communists.

656
00:57:14,997 --> 00:57:20,385
Even if they make another 10 offers.
We'll send them home 10 more times.

657
00:57:27,594 --> 00:57:30,307
This isn't just my opinion!

658
00:57:30,344 --> 00:57:34,120
If the party leaders keep this up,
we'll all fall into ruin.

659
00:57:34,157 --> 00:57:37,643
There's one thing nobody wants.
Hitler in government.

660
00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:39,739
Well duh, you don't say!

661
00:57:39,775 --> 00:57:42,669
- Nowadays that might be best.
- God forbid!

662
00:57:42,706 --> 00:57:45,156
- You think?
- Yes sir, Tarnow is right.

663
00:57:45,193 --> 00:57:49,489
Let Hitler show what he can do.
He'll wear himself out soon enough.

664
00:57:49,526 --> 00:57:52,918
And hang the best of us.
And wade knee-deep in blood!

665
00:57:52,955 --> 00:57:55,266
That can't be the opinion
of party leadership.

666
00:57:55,303 --> 00:57:58,040
What do you know
of realpolitik?

667
00:57:58,767 --> 00:58:03,050
I've had it up to here.
I'm going home, comrades. Night!

668
00:58:03,087 --> 00:58:08,850
Robert... Don't be a wet blanket!
It's only New Year's once!

669
00:58:10,275 --> 00:58:12,503
Look at that! The red Dirhagen!

670
00:58:12,540 --> 00:58:16,615
Tarnow, does the party executive
really want to let Hitler take power?

671
00:58:16,652 --> 00:58:19,862
- Don't pester me!
- So it's true!

672
00:58:19,899 --> 00:58:24,746
Deny Thälmann's offer to fight
Hitler, but let Hitler take power.

673
00:58:24,783 --> 00:58:27,986
That's the position of party
leadership. True or false?

674
00:58:28,023 --> 00:58:30,769
I don't answer to you.

675
00:58:30,806 --> 00:58:37,189
For 36 years I've been in the party.
I always answered to it. But now!

676
00:58:38,189 --> 00:58:41,847
- I can't do it anymore!
- Robert!

677
00:58:41,883 --> 00:58:44,623
He's right!

678
00:58:45,404 --> 00:58:50,002
Hitler will have to play by
the rules of democracy.

679
00:58:50,039 --> 00:58:54,496
Otherwise he won't
last a single day.

680
00:59:01,950 --> 00:59:05,939
It's over!
It's all over.

681
00:59:06,421 --> 00:59:10,051
What's going on,
Brother Dirhagen? Have a seat.

682
00:59:10,088 --> 00:59:13,724
They're following Tarnow
like blind chickens!

683
00:59:13,761 --> 00:59:16,422
Like chickens. It's over!

684
00:59:16,459 --> 00:59:20,330
- What about Tarnow?
- I'm through with him.

685
00:59:20,367 --> 00:59:24,341
He wants to let Hitler
take power. Hitler!

686
00:59:24,378 --> 00:59:26,461
And the comrades...

687
00:59:26,883 --> 00:59:30,465
Like trying to get
blood out of a stone.

688
00:59:30,502 --> 00:59:33,959
- It's over.
- Get it all off your chest.

689
00:59:34,093 --> 00:59:39,366
The SPD executive may have refused
the united front against Hitler.

690
00:59:39,403 --> 00:59:44,046
But the Social Democrat
workers disagree.

691
00:59:44,083 --> 00:59:48,236
Now everything depends on
getting an antifascist united front

692
00:59:48,273 --> 00:59:51,757
with Social Democrat workers.
No question.

693
00:59:51,794 --> 00:59:56,941
Is the SPD executive still clueless?
The Nazis will act against them too.

694
00:59:56,978 --> 01:00:00,832
They'll plunge our nation into ruin.
Even I can see that.

695
01:00:00,869 --> 01:00:03,839
And I'm just a simple prole.

696
01:00:03,876 --> 01:00:07,982
Precisely. That's why.

697
01:00:08,019 --> 01:00:10,844
Excuse me, comrade.

698
01:00:15,163 --> 01:00:18,341
What will we do now,
Comrade Pieck?

699
01:00:20,937 --> 01:00:23,412
Everywhere, each from his station,

700
01:00:23,449 --> 01:00:27,223
we'll wrestle for the united
worker's front against fascism.

701
01:00:27,260 --> 01:00:30,344
After all, we're Communists, Kulle.

702
01:00:30,381 --> 01:00:33,223
Whatever form the
struggle may take,

703
01:00:33,260 --> 01:00:37,421
we are always with
the masses. The people.

704
01:00:37,458 --> 01:00:40,537
Our righteous cause will win.

705
01:00:40,710 --> 01:00:44,000
None can replace the
working class in their fight.

706
01:00:44,037 --> 01:00:47,561
And if the labor parties
can't find themselves even now,

707
01:00:47,598 --> 01:00:52,226
fascism will establish a reign of
blood like we can't even imagine.

708
01:00:52,263 --> 01:00:55,466
A hard struggle, for years.

709
01:00:56,813 --> 01:01:00,209
Ah, Fiete.
Evening, Kulle.

710
01:01:00,246 --> 01:01:02,429
From Johnny Scheer.

711
01:01:04,733 --> 01:01:06,914
And this is from Walter.

712
01:01:07,900 --> 01:01:11,116
Proposals for illegal directives.

713
01:01:11,153 --> 01:01:13,478
I'll drive you to the C.C.,
Comrade Thälmann.

714
01:01:13,515 --> 01:01:16,634
- Sure, Kulle.
- I'm about to drive to Kassel.

715
01:01:16,671 --> 01:01:20,324
Not today, Fiete.
Vierbreiter will go in your place.

716
01:01:20,361 --> 01:01:25,127
Änne's waiting. Not easy
for her to be alone right now.

717
01:01:26,496 --> 01:01:28,373
Bet you didn't eat yet, Kulle.

718
01:01:28,410 --> 01:01:30,733
- Ah, could be worse.
- Here, have some.

719
01:01:30,770 --> 01:01:34,422
I'm off too. Don't want to impose.

720
01:01:34,459 --> 01:01:39,066
- Thank you, Brother Thälmann.
- See you, Brother Dirhagen.

721
01:01:39,103 --> 01:01:43,105
- Feel free to come over.
- Nah. Änne's waiting for you.

722
01:01:43,142 --> 01:01:46,376
I'm going to party HQ
with Dirhagen.

723
01:01:46,413 --> 01:01:49,108
- Red Front!
- Red Front.

724
01:01:58,628 --> 01:02:02,359
Fiete!
Finally!

725
01:02:04,152 --> 01:02:06,611
Hold on, Änne.
Don't get up.

726
01:02:06,648 --> 01:02:10,257
- You!
- Evening.

727
01:02:12,175 --> 01:02:16,156
Come, sit. What are the
comrades in Hamburg up to?

728
01:02:16,193 --> 01:02:19,166
I'll tell you later.

729
01:02:19,203 --> 01:02:22,173
- Is that a new book?
- Teddy gave it to me.

730
01:02:22,210 --> 01:02:27,439
A wonderful book. I always
wanted it. Here, read this part.

731
01:02:29,615 --> 01:02:32,228
No, I'll read it for you.

732
01:02:33,863 --> 01:02:41,044
"Man's dearest possession is life.
It is given to him but once.

733
01:02:41,081 --> 01:02:45,495
And he must so live it
that, dying, he might say:

734
01:02:45,532 --> 01:02:51,295
I gave all my life, all my strength
to the finest cause in the world,

735
01:02:51,332 --> 01:02:55,820
the fight for the
liberation of mankind."

736
01:02:56,916 --> 01:03:00,105
I want to be able to
write like that too.

737
01:03:00,791 --> 01:03:03,800
- And live like that.
- Yeah.

738
01:03:09,665 --> 01:03:12,149
- Hey...
- One moment.

739
01:03:27,488 --> 01:03:32,223
You know, Änne, maybe our child
will become a writer one day.

740
01:03:32,260 --> 01:03:35,223
Or achieve something outstanding.

741
01:03:35,260 --> 01:03:37,420
It's not unheard of.

742
01:03:37,457 --> 01:03:43,567
The dormant abilities of the parents
suddenly manifest in their offspring.

743
01:03:43,604 --> 01:03:45,493
Lo and behold.

744
01:03:47,851 --> 01:03:50,691
At least she'll be a good,
diligent pioneer.

745
01:03:50,728 --> 01:03:54,842
- Pioneer?
- Sure, a pioneer.

746
01:03:57,066 --> 01:04:01,028
You're not fair to yourself.
What's so bad about girls?

747
01:04:01,065 --> 01:04:05,178
What's so bad about boys? Why
do you want to have a girl so bad?

748
01:04:05,215 --> 01:04:08,057
Because I want to
call her Änne, silly.

749
01:04:08,094 --> 01:04:11,440
A boy could never be called Änne.

750
01:04:11,477 --> 01:04:13,650
Oh well.

751
01:04:18,785 --> 01:04:26,754
You know, Änne, having a child,
it's kind of like living twice.

752
01:04:26,791 --> 01:04:29,935
The responsibility grows.

753
01:04:29,972 --> 01:04:35,753
For the little human
and for humanity.

754
01:04:38,687 --> 01:04:40,397
Fire!

755
01:04:52,877 --> 01:04:55,997
Police! The Nazis are here!

756
01:04:57,417 --> 01:05:00,912
- Careful, Dirhagen!
- The red Dirhagen!

757
01:05:14,838 --> 01:05:18,719
- Assault! Assault!
- Kulle!

758
01:05:21,836 --> 01:05:24,484
What a start to the year.

759
01:05:26,439 --> 01:05:30,389
Cheers, gentlemen!
To a Europe without Communists!

760
01:05:30,426 --> 01:05:34,658
We National Socialists know that God
destined Germans to be his helpers

761
01:05:34,694 --> 01:05:38,888
in the world's consummation.
Let's drink to that.

762
01:05:38,925 --> 01:05:41,307
To your health, General.

763
01:05:43,322 --> 01:05:48,078
- Thank you, Sir von Papen.
- To the new chancellor.

764
01:05:50,601 --> 01:05:55,181
The national uprising, the will of
the simple man and of the nation

765
01:05:55,218 --> 01:05:57,925
has placed me at
the head of the nation.

766
01:05:57,962 --> 01:06:01,356
- As the leader!
- <i>Sieg Heil!</i>

767
01:06:01,591 --> 01:06:03,336
<i>Sieg Heil!</i>

768
01:06:03,544 --> 01:06:05,115
<i>Sieg Heil!</i>

769
01:06:05,670 --> 01:06:11,877
I'm thankful to gracious Providence,
who held a hand over me.

770
01:06:11,914 --> 01:06:19,549
I'm glad to have found you, and
you can be glad to have found me.

771
01:06:20,446 --> 01:06:24,479
- There cannot be a general strike!
- Unlikely.

772
01:06:24,516 --> 01:06:29,126
Tarnow just publically warned
workers against such a venture.

773
01:06:29,163 --> 01:06:31,582
I prefer to rely on myself.

774
01:06:33,471 --> 01:06:40,101
My plan. From here,
then here and here.

775
01:06:40,138 --> 01:06:44,432
The passage leads below the road,
right into the Reichstag.

776
01:06:44,469 --> 01:06:47,084
And if Hindenburg
were to be killed?

777
01:06:47,121 --> 01:06:51,041
Could that turn the people
against Communists even more?

778
01:06:51,078 --> 01:06:56,706
The old man may be useful yet.
But this, now this is new.

779
01:06:56,743 --> 01:07:00,515
Not seen since Nero.

780
01:07:07,842 --> 01:07:12,018
This is the work of those
Bolshevist subhumans.

781
01:07:12,055 --> 01:07:16,910
I will destroy communism,
root and branch!

782
01:07:16,947 --> 01:07:20,152
Those Communists.
"United front!"

783
01:07:20,189 --> 01:07:23,774
I won't stand in a
united front with arsonists!

784
01:07:29,103 --> 01:07:33,773
There, a close friend of Thälmann.
Known Communist leader Jansen.

785
01:07:33,810 --> 01:07:36,089
- Where?
- There.

786
01:07:42,185 --> 01:07:45,140
- Thälmann.
- What about Teddy?

787
01:07:45,177 --> 01:07:47,499
Arrested.

788
01:07:51,579 --> 01:07:53,690
Come, Änne.

789
01:08:10,386 --> 01:08:13,356
That's the man
he was talking to.

790
01:08:13,393 --> 01:08:16,562
Who was that person
you were just talking to?

791
01:08:16,599 --> 01:08:18,704
Don't know him.

792
01:08:18,741 --> 01:08:22,334
- Where did he go?
- Kept going.

793
01:08:22,371 --> 01:08:24,747
Arrest him.

794
01:08:39,153 --> 01:08:41,276
That's him.

795
01:08:41,952 --> 01:08:43,761
Dirhagen!

796
01:08:44,838 --> 01:08:46,704
Turn around!

797
01:08:50,289 --> 01:08:53,070
So, wanna talk?

798
01:08:53,107 --> 01:08:58,014
Think about it.
But don't think too long.

799
01:08:58,051 --> 01:09:01,987
Unless you wanna go
back in the music room?

800
01:09:02,024 --> 01:09:04,890
I asked you if
if you'll finally talk!

801
01:09:04,927 --> 01:09:07,577
Where is Fiete Jansen?

802
01:09:07,614 --> 01:09:09,987
The Bulgarian, Dimitroff.

803
01:09:10,024 --> 01:09:14,214
Ah! So that's the
Reichstag arsonist.

804
01:09:17,538 --> 01:09:25,136
You look much more qualified to
know who set fire to the Reichstag.

805
01:09:27,013 --> 01:09:33,371
- Courage, comrade.
- Thug, bastard! Put him in irons!

806
01:09:33,407 --> 01:09:36,685
Turn around!
Put your face to the wall!

807
01:09:36,721 --> 01:09:39,855
Closer! Closer!

808
01:09:44,121 --> 01:09:48,895
An eventful day in the history of
the National Socialist movement.

809
01:09:48,932 --> 01:09:52,734
The Reichstag building was
destroyed by Bolshevist subhumans.

810
01:09:52,771 --> 01:09:56,317
But now, parliament will
meet in the Krolloper.

811
01:09:56,354 --> 01:09:59,056
Outside, I see the swastika.

812
01:10:01,850 --> 01:10:04,389
I'll raise a complaint
with Göring.

813
01:10:04,426 --> 01:10:08,651
As president of parliament,
it's his duty to follow procedure.

814
01:10:08,688 --> 01:10:11,176
They'll get a
supermajority anyway.

815
01:10:11,213 --> 01:10:13,716
- Why?
- The Communists are neutralized.

816
01:10:13,753 --> 01:10:16,869
That already means
81 missing seats.

817
01:10:16,906 --> 01:10:19,638
You can't expect me to
vote for the Nazis.

818
01:10:19,675 --> 01:10:20,721
- Right.
- Right.

819
01:10:20,758 --> 01:10:25,597
It's scandalous. By attending here,
we play into the Nazis' hands.

820
01:10:25,634 --> 01:10:29,830
I beg your pardon! The Nazis
adopted much of our foreign policy.

821
01:10:29,867 --> 01:10:31,004
- So what?
- True!

822
01:10:31,041 --> 01:10:35,578
Should we oppose our own demands just
because the Nazis put them forward?

823
01:10:35,615 --> 01:10:38,688
- The whole point is--
- The point is that we're leaving!

824
01:10:38,724 --> 01:10:40,711
That's right.

825
01:10:43,251 --> 01:10:46,049
Think twice about this!

826
01:10:47,961 --> 01:10:50,731
You can't just
splinter the party!

827
01:10:51,756 --> 01:10:54,819
Let's move on to the vote.

828
01:11:00,764 --> 01:11:04,029
Well, like I said.
Let's move on to the vote.

829
01:11:04,066 --> 01:11:10,216
Those in favor of the foreign policy
of the Hitler-Papen administration?

830
01:11:41,066 --> 01:11:45,389
Sector 5.
Go ahead.

831
01:11:47,784 --> 01:11:50,741
- <i>What do you think of the place?</i>
-  <i>Dreadful.</i>

832
01:11:50,778 --> 01:11:54,773
- What's their deal?
- Delegation from the Saarland.

833
01:11:54,810 --> 01:11:57,463
Workers and some journalists.

834
01:11:57,791 --> 01:12:00,659
Enough already, Mrs. Thälmann!

835
01:12:03,255 --> 01:12:06,263
I insist on meeting my husband,

836
01:12:06,299 --> 01:12:08,294
- which I'm...
- Sure, insist away!

837
01:12:08,331 --> 01:12:10,812
which I'm entitled to by law.

838
01:12:11,652 --> 01:12:14,369
We call the tune here.

839
01:12:14,406 --> 01:12:17,787
But you're not
alone in the world.

840
01:12:17,824 --> 01:12:20,541
What are you trying to say?

841
01:12:20,578 --> 01:12:23,487
I said what I said.

842
01:12:24,728 --> 01:12:26,647
<i>Heil Hitler!</i>

843
01:12:27,363 --> 01:12:32,525
Sturmbannführer, the state council
arrived, and the Saarland delegation.

844
01:12:51,602 --> 01:12:56,533
I'm deeply saddened that people
abroad and even in the Saar area

845
01:12:56,570 --> 01:13:01,625
believe the most foolish claims
about the conditions here.

846
01:13:04,539 --> 01:13:09,985
Please see for yourself how the
Communist leader Thälmann is doing.

847
01:13:17,461 --> 01:13:22,773
Mr. Thälmann. These guests from the
Saar area requested to speak to you.

848
01:13:26,857 --> 01:13:32,030
Gentlemen, I'd ask you not
to touch on political issues.

849
01:13:33,842 --> 01:13:36,598
Are you able to receive visitors,
Mr. Thälmann?

850
01:13:36,635 --> 01:13:39,248
Not even my wife is
allowed to see me.

851
01:13:39,285 --> 01:13:44,378
And letters? Did you receive
the letter announcing our arrival?

852
01:13:44,415 --> 01:13:46,115
No.

853
01:13:46,515 --> 01:13:52,221
But gentlemen, <i>we</i> knew that you
were coming. And now you're here.

854
01:13:52,258 --> 01:13:56,223
- Were you served the indictment?
- No, nothing.

855
01:13:56,260 --> 01:13:58,565
How are they treating you,
Mr. Thälmann?

856
01:13:58,602 --> 01:14:00,113
- I'm mistreated!
- Enough!

857
01:14:00,149 --> 01:14:02,113
- And others too!
- Not another word!

858
01:14:02,150 --> 01:14:04,227
Gentlemen, shall we?

859
01:14:04,264 --> 01:14:10,284
Thousands are being mistreated,
brutally murdered! Tell the workers!

860
01:14:10,321 --> 01:14:15,269
Everywhere in the world!
Everyone needs to hear this!

861
01:14:15,947 --> 01:14:20,246
<i>Pronto! Pronto! Pronto!</i>

862
01:14:27,258 --> 01:14:29,923
<i>Pronto! Pronto!</i>

863
01:14:29,960 --> 01:14:34,457
Now that the warden is
won over, don't hesitate.

864
01:14:34,494 --> 01:14:39,018
- Who can we entrust with the task?
- Who? Me, of course.

865
01:14:39,055 --> 01:14:40,591
No.

866
01:14:40,628 --> 01:14:45,081
Someone fully unknown in Berlin.
Ideally from Hamburg.

867
01:14:45,118 --> 01:14:49,628
- But I'm taking Ernst to the border.
- That's different.

868
01:14:49,665 --> 01:14:52,440
Who do you suggest?

869
01:14:52,477 --> 01:14:55,713
I know a guy.
He was there back in October.

870
01:14:55,852 --> 01:14:58,254
Here's the wax cast.

871
01:14:58,291 --> 01:15:02,924
- The workers won't forget this.
- It wasn't easy to get to the key.

872
01:15:02,961 --> 01:15:06,393
I only get it for minutes at a time
from Sturmbannführer Quadde.

873
01:15:06,430 --> 01:15:11,266
- Quadde? Gottlieb Quadde?
- Yes. Göring's special commissioner.

874
01:15:11,303 --> 01:15:13,686
Huh.

875
01:15:15,271 --> 01:15:19,348
- So you'll keep helping us.
- It's not that easy.

876
01:15:19,385 --> 01:15:21,565
But possible.

877
01:15:28,788 --> 01:15:33,066
Fits.
Perfectly.

878
01:15:36,383 --> 01:15:38,003
- Morning.
- Morning.

879
01:15:38,040 --> 01:15:39,904
<i>Heil Hitler.</i>

880
01:15:40,386 --> 01:15:42,247
<i>Heil.</i>

881
01:15:45,979 --> 01:15:48,380
Cigarette?

882
01:15:48,416 --> 01:15:52,533
- At 1 a.m.
- I'm not sure we can risk it today.

883
01:15:52,569 --> 01:15:55,223
Quadde is still here.
Game night.

884
01:15:55,260 --> 01:15:59,418
That's good.
Once he sits down, he's down.

885
01:16:00,663 --> 01:16:05,816
Exit 3 then. The guard dogs
will be in the side yard.

886
01:16:05,853 --> 01:16:09,603
If something goes wrong,
I'll shoot twice.

887
01:16:52,403 --> 01:16:54,330
In 10 minutes.

888
01:17:11,334 --> 01:17:14,967
- There.
- We got him!

889
01:17:16,842 --> 01:17:21,121
- Thälmann's key?
- Yeah sure. Put it on the wall.

890
01:17:21,158 --> 01:17:25,453
But the warden just
locked Thälmann's cell.

891
01:17:27,077 --> 01:17:29,081
Alarm!

892
01:17:32,721 --> 01:17:34,537
Release the dogs!

893
01:17:39,166 --> 01:17:41,472
Electrify the barbwire!

894
01:17:41,509 --> 01:17:45,678
- Stop! Don't move!
- Block off all exits!

895
01:18:01,217 --> 01:18:03,775
Go, Krischan. Go!

896
01:18:08,385 --> 01:18:11,433
Defendant Kristian Daik.

897
01:18:14,329 --> 01:18:19,530
You don't want to name your
accomplices in the breakout attempt.

898
01:18:21,258 --> 01:18:25,336
You also don't want to testify
who made this key.

899
01:18:25,373 --> 01:18:28,387
So you made it yourself.

900
01:18:30,826 --> 01:18:34,965
Arthur Vierbreiter
from protective custody.

901
01:19:04,166 --> 01:19:06,903
Stand up straight!

902
01:19:07,888 --> 01:19:11,113
I've been through
six interrogations.

903
01:19:14,317 --> 01:19:17,988
You're a sewage worker.

904
01:19:18,025 --> 01:19:20,743
Former member of
German parliament

905
01:19:20,780 --> 01:19:25,617
and former chairman of the
Communist Party in Hamburg.

906
01:19:25,654 --> 01:19:29,316
- Is this true?
- Yes.

907
01:19:30,436 --> 01:19:35,457
Are you related to the defendant
through blood or marriage?

908
01:19:40,260 --> 01:19:43,460
I am related to him.

909
01:19:43,497 --> 01:19:45,949
Through a great idea.

910
01:19:45,986 --> 01:19:49,211
Is that all you
have to say to us?

911
01:19:50,396 --> 01:19:53,040
Is it trivial?

912
01:20:01,146 --> 01:20:04,295
Änny! Änny!

913
01:20:05,898 --> 01:20:11,033
I'm so glad, Martha, that
you received the letter so soon.

914
01:20:11,080 --> 01:20:14,223
We'll get along fine.
Right, Änny?

915
01:20:14,260 --> 01:20:19,348
It breaks my heart that I have to
give the little one away.

916
01:20:20,103 --> 01:20:24,305
But you understand, Martha,
in my situation.

917
01:20:24,342 --> 01:20:27,695
We're all one family after all.

918
01:20:27,732 --> 01:20:31,145
Related through a great idea.

919
01:20:37,752 --> 01:20:42,007
Änny, go along with
Aunt Martha now, okay?

920
01:20:42,044 --> 01:20:45,975
And your mommy will
come pick you up later.

921
01:20:47,693 --> 01:20:50,351
Thank you, Martha.

922
01:20:51,399 --> 01:20:54,640
My dear little Änny.

923
01:21:27,738 --> 01:21:30,491
- Hey.
- To the exact minute.

924
01:21:30,528 --> 01:21:32,871
It's only proper.

925
01:21:36,646 --> 01:21:42,352
I'm bringing something from Paris.

926
01:21:42,389 --> 01:21:47,470
For Comrade Thälmann,
for his birthday.

927
01:21:49,205 --> 01:21:54,227
Letter. From Romain Rolland,
Gorky, and Dimitroff.

928
01:21:54,264 --> 01:21:58,439
Not here.
Up there we won't be watched.

929
01:21:58,475 --> 01:22:00,555
Yes.

930
01:22:13,482 --> 01:22:18,953
Take it, Maurice.
Our flag.

931
01:22:18,990 --> 01:22:22,725
There's no place for it
in Germany now.

932
01:22:24,771 --> 01:22:31,531
We will carry it forward.
In Spain, against the fascists.

933
01:22:31,568 --> 01:22:35,438
We could live well
as brothers.

934
01:22:35,475 --> 01:22:38,581
Our two peoples.

935
01:22:38,618 --> 01:22:42,099
<i>Ceux qui vivent,
ce sont ceux qui luttent.</i>

936
01:22:42,584 --> 01:22:46,344
Only those who fight
are among the living.

937
01:22:46,491 --> 01:22:48,990
Thälmann. Thälmann.

938
01:22:50,136 --> 01:22:55,188
Thälmann. Thälmann. Thälmann.

939
01:22:55,475 --> 01:23:01,708
Those stupid mail asses.
Always causing trouble for us.

940
01:23:02,845 --> 01:23:07,297
Thälmann. Thälmann. Thälmann.

941
01:23:08,495 --> 01:23:13,251
They seem to think the
prison is a dance bar.

942
01:23:13,288 --> 01:23:16,724
- Thälmann.
- Go and bring the turntable.

943
01:23:18,938 --> 01:23:22,826
My lass,
how tall you are.

944
01:23:23,384 --> 01:23:26,537
- Just one question, Mr. Quadde.
- What is it, Ms. Thälmann?

945
01:23:26,574 --> 01:23:28,889
Did any mail come in?

946
01:23:29,224 --> 01:23:33,016
Ernst, all the best
and happy birthday.

947
01:23:33,053 --> 01:23:36,058
- And good health.
- Thanks, Rosa.

948
01:23:36,095 --> 01:23:40,280
Everyone sends their regards.
The whole family.

949
01:23:40,317 --> 01:23:45,184
Wilhelm, Walter.
The whole C.C.

950
01:23:45,221 --> 01:23:47,814
Oh God, you're
really quite pitiful.

951
01:23:47,851 --> 01:23:49,792
- Why?
- You're playing watchdog

952
01:23:49,829 --> 01:23:53,075
and yet you're
half a prisoner yourself.

953
01:23:53,947 --> 01:23:56,254
You're clearly not
seeing things right.

954
01:23:56,290 --> 01:23:58,585
Mr. Thälmann.

955
01:24:01,167 --> 01:24:06,807
- Why did you come so late today?
- I was kept waiting for hours again.

956
01:24:06,844 --> 01:24:09,889
I object to this chicanery.

957
01:24:09,926 --> 01:24:13,135
Even on my birthday, my
visiting hours aren't kept on time.

958
01:24:13,172 --> 01:24:17,432
What do you want, Thälmann?
Not like anyone would visit.

959
01:24:17,469 --> 01:24:21,719
On your 50th birthday, things
still looked different. But today?

960
01:24:21,756 --> 01:24:25,676
Apart from your wife and daughter,
there's only me to congratulate you.

961
01:24:25,713 --> 01:24:27,701
The world has forgotten you.

962
01:24:27,738 --> 01:24:31,488
Well?
Let's take it for a spin.

Thanks, thanks.
Where's Thälmann?

1021
01:28:52,779 --> 01:28:57,605
Isolated in the hallway, Excellency.
Cells above and below are empty too.

1022
01:29:15,292 --> 01:29:18,240
Good afternoon,
Mr. Thälmann.

1023
01:29:35,829 --> 01:29:40,089
I have, as you can see,
come to you, Mr. Thälmann.

1024
01:29:41,014 --> 01:29:43,823
Of course, I could have
also summoned you.

1025
01:29:43,860 --> 01:29:48,380
To the interior ministry,
the aviation ministry.

1026
01:29:48,417 --> 01:29:50,946
To the Gestapo.

1027
01:29:54,487 --> 01:29:59,523
But I want you to
come to me voluntarily.

1028
01:29:59,560 --> 01:30:02,164
I've always appreciated
you, Thälmann.

1029
01:30:02,201 --> 01:30:05,170
My convictions contradict yours,
but your poise,

1030
01:30:05,207 --> 01:30:09,501
your incorruptibility
has earned my respect.

1031
01:30:17,854 --> 01:30:22,014
- Tough nut, that Thälmann, eh?
- You think?

1032
01:30:22,050 --> 01:30:25,113
The boss always gets his way.

1033
01:30:25,674 --> 01:30:29,595
We're about to prepare
the reorganization of Europe.

1034
01:30:29,632 --> 01:30:32,473
And you can be part of it.

1035
01:30:36,715 --> 01:30:42,913
I offer you freedom, Mr. Thälmann.
Without asking the impossible.

1036
01:30:42,950 --> 01:30:47,709
You do not have to join our party.
You only have...

1037
01:30:52,481 --> 01:30:56,023
So this is how you return
our honest goodwill?

1038
01:30:56,060 --> 01:30:59,254
Let me just say this.
I won't have you shot.

1039
01:30:59,291 --> 01:31:03,098
Or have you hanged. Or
have you torn apart by dogs.

1040
01:31:03,135 --> 01:31:07,490
It would be too nice,
too quick of a death for you!

1041
01:31:07,527 --> 01:31:11,439
You'll rot! Alive!
For years, decades.

1042
01:31:11,476 --> 01:31:14,817
Rot and decay
like a carcass!

1043
01:31:14,854 --> 01:31:18,074
But we, we'll rule Europe.

1044
01:31:44,283 --> 01:31:47,231
Poland:
Cheapest human material.

1045

Norway:
Northern flank guard.

1046
01:31:50,465 --> 01:31:53,919
Denmark, Holland:
Our meat and fat supplier.

1047
01:31:53,956 --> 01:31:57,040
Belgium:
Coal, iron ores.

France:
Ores, coal, wine.

1049
01:32:00,519 --> 01:32:04,615
North Africa:
Our destination, the Suez Canal.

01:32:04,652 --> 01:32:07,316
Balkans:
Southern flank guard.

1051

Black Sea: Oil.

1052
01:32:09,133 --> 01:32:11,573
Donbas:
Coal, steel.

1053
01:32:11,610 --> 01:32:14,040
Ukraine:
Grain.

1054
01:32:14,077 --> 01:32:19,762
In a few days, our troops will reach
Moscow. None can stop us anymore.

1055
01:32:19,799 --> 01:32:23,241
When Russia falls,
this continent is German.

1056
01:32:23,278 --> 01:32:28,787
- Unimagined, tremendous prospects.
- It may go wrong too.

1057
01:32:30,673 --> 01:32:34,872
- The war may drag on.
- That'd serve some people well.

1058
01:32:34,909 --> 01:32:36,944
Dear Mr. McFuller.

1059
01:32:36,981 --> 01:32:41,890
You don't seem to like seeing
us Germans finally doing well.

1060
01:32:41,927 --> 01:32:46,492
I like seeing myself do well.

1061
01:32:46,529 --> 01:32:50,206
My son is taking over our
east plants in Poland and Galicia.

1062
01:32:50,243 --> 01:32:53,391
We have the best possible
production facilities there.

1063
01:32:53,428 --> 01:32:56,939
Concentration camp workforce.

1064
01:32:56,976 --> 01:33:01,129
Mr. Councillor,
the shipment to Lemberg.

1065
01:33:01,166 --> 01:33:05,161
Every ball bearing for the equipment
in east plant 3, about to be loaded,

1066
01:33:05,198 --> 01:33:07,715
- is totally useless.
- What, useless?

1067
01:33:07,752 --> 01:33:11,513
5% of a millimeter too small.
The blueprints were forged.

1068
01:33:11,550 --> 01:33:14,488
A saboteur was caught,
a Frenchman.

1069
01:33:14,525 --> 01:33:17,905
- Konrad.
- Let's go.

1070
01:33:17,942 --> 01:33:19,886
Awful.

1071
01:33:19,923 --> 01:33:25,633
But then, hardly surprising
with 60% foreign workers.

1072
01:33:27,074 --> 01:33:30,746
"Unimagined prospects."

1073
01:33:36,766 --> 01:33:39,168
Commander arrested!

1074
01:33:43,094 --> 01:33:46,373
But I know you.

1075
01:33:46,410 --> 01:33:50,323
Saarland delegation.

1076
01:33:50,360 --> 01:33:52,626
With Thälmann.

1077
01:33:52,663 --> 01:33:55,345
You know nothing about us.

1078
01:33:55,382 --> 01:33:59,099
You know the punishment
for sabotage! Go!

1079
01:34:02,616 --> 01:34:05,707
Long live the
anti-fascist struggle!

1080
01:34:05,744 --> 01:34:09,228
Long live Ernst Thälmann!

1081
01:34:13,413 --> 01:34:19,551
<i>As a nation without territory,
we were always sidelined.</i>

1082
01:34:19,588 --> 01:34:26,232
<i>Now we shall be have-nots no longer.
We do not fight for faint ideals.</i>

1083
01:34:26,269 --> 01:34:31,925
<i>We finally want to eat heartily
at the bread bowl of the world.</i>

1084
01:34:31,962 --> 01:34:35,996
- He put that excellently!
- To the bread bowl!

1085
01:34:36,033 --> 01:34:42,713
- Hey, first you gotta put that...
- Man, shut up. Breaking news.

1086
01:34:43,058 --> 01:34:48,387
<i>Attention please.
This is a message from the Führer.</i>

1087
01:34:48,424 --> 01:34:53,726
<i>The war in the East is ending.
The Red Army is wiped out.</i>

1088
01:34:53,763 --> 01:34:58,515
<i>The capture of Moscow is
only a matter of days away.</i>

1089
01:34:59,655 --> 01:35:02,598
<i>(drunken babble)</i>

1090
01:35:07,280 --> 01:35:13,126
Men! We're moving the celebration.
Into the yard!

1091
01:35:28,769 --> 01:35:31,382
I volunteered to
go to the front.

1092
01:35:31,419 --> 01:35:34,776
Next week, I'll be in the Kremlin,
Thälmann. Yes sir!

1093
01:35:34,813 --> 01:35:39,924
- Moscow's under our control!
- Too stunned to speak, huh?

1094
01:35:39,961 --> 01:35:44,343
Be quiet already.
He wants to say something.

1095
01:35:44,380 --> 01:35:47,627
Well, go on already.

1096
01:35:47,664 --> 01:35:52,440
The Soviet Union has existed
for more than 20 years.

1097
01:35:52,477 --> 01:35:56,639
Hitler's Reich won't
last that long.

1098
01:36:06,089 --> 01:36:10,095
{\an9}<i>MOSCOW 50 km</i>

1099
01:36:31,524 --> 01:36:32,950
{\an9}<i>MOSCOW 50 km</i>

1100
01:36:43,267 --> 01:36:46,209
<i>Wheels rolling for victory</i>

1101
01:37:43,969 --> 01:37:48,996
Martha. Part of the Uhrig group
was nabbed. Over 1,000 comrades.

1102
01:37:49,033 --> 01:37:52,311
District leadership too,
that's the 5th time now.

1103
01:37:52,348 --> 01:37:56,702
Martha, you need to step in. We
need connections to large companies.

1104
01:37:56,739 --> 01:38:00,156
Another thing. Do you have the
address of Comrade Tomaschek?

1105
01:38:00,193 --> 01:38:05,664
- I need him, urgently.
- Herzberg Street 17, by the Pole.

1106
01:38:05,701 --> 01:38:11,861
Say hi to the little one for me.
I miss her so much.

1107
01:38:11,898 --> 01:38:15,542
Well then I'll take the 8th set.

1108
01:38:19,801 --> 01:38:22,027
There, now you can
heat again, huh?

1109
01:38:22,064 --> 01:38:25,026
Those bits of coal won't even
keep my room warm.

1110
01:38:25,063 --> 01:38:29,869
- Where are the coal deliveries?
- I'd like to know too, eh?

1111
01:38:29,906 --> 01:38:31,890
Conquered half the world.

1112
01:38:31,927 --> 01:38:35,655
- But our sort get less and less.
- <i>None shall go hungry, nor go cold</i>

1113
01:38:35,692 --> 01:38:41,706
Can't you read? None shall
go hungry without going cold.

1114
01:38:47,906 --> 01:38:49,603
- Excuse me.
- Yeah?

1115
01:38:49,640 --> 01:38:55,769
- Can I speak to Tomaschek here?
- Quiet! Doesn't work here anymore.

1116
01:38:55,806 --> 01:39:00,450
Look at that. Mrs. Jansen.
Ah, come along!

1117
01:39:00,614 --> 01:39:05,330
<i>For the courage and bravery
shown in battle in battle,</i>

1118
01:39:05,367 --> 01:39:10,975
<i>the 143rd Armored Division
will henceforth be named</i>

1119
01:39:11,013 --> 01:39:17,630
<i>after the glorious socialist party...</i>

1120
01:39:17,667 --> 01:39:21,675
He says: For its bravery in battle,
the division is given the name

1121
01:39:21,712 --> 01:39:24,854
"Armored Division Ernst Thälmann."

1122
01:39:51,928 --> 01:39:54,393
<i>Comrades of the squadron.</i>

1123
01:39:54,429 --> 01:40:02,101
<i>A combat unit of the SS awaits you,
they're enemies of the workers.</i>

1124
01:40:02,138 --> 01:40:06,120
Our cause is just.
We will win.

1125
01:40:06,157 --> 01:40:10,177
<i>Long live our beloved
Comrade Ernst Thälmann!</i>

1126
01:40:10,214 --> 01:40:14,623
<i>Long live our
glorious country!</i>

1127
01:40:27,328 --> 01:40:30,398
Goodbye, comrade.

1128
01:41:04,776 --> 01:41:09,287
Our cause is just.
We will win!

1129
01:41:24,047 --> 01:41:26,586
The paper.

1130
01:41:36,155 --> 01:41:39,556
Doesn't seem to be
going too well.

1131
01:41:44,697 --> 01:41:49,218
You were a C.C. member of the
Communist Youth League

1132
01:41:49,255 --> 01:41:53,087
and you claim not to know the
names of your closest associates?

1133
01:41:53,124 --> 01:41:55,131
No.

1134
01:41:56,370 --> 01:42:00,001
I'd believe them all.
Not you.

1135
01:42:02,014 --> 01:42:04,687
Let me help you out.

1136
01:42:04,724 --> 01:42:10,535
Let's talk about the time
just before the takeover.

1137
01:42:12,359 --> 01:42:20,049
Back then you were at the so-called
Anti-War Congress in Amsterdam.

1138
01:42:21,799 --> 01:42:24,842
You don't recall?

1139
01:42:24,879 --> 01:42:29,165
Say, who was traveling
with you from Berlin at the time?

1140
01:42:29,202 --> 01:42:33,570
- I don't know any names.
- Mommy! Mommy!

1141
01:42:43,656 --> 01:42:49,115
You still have human emotions,
Mrs. Jansen. Very good.

1142
01:42:49,152 --> 01:42:52,893
Then we are sure to
find a common language.

1143
01:42:57,561 --> 01:43:01,028
Let the dear child come in.

1144
01:43:03,029 --> 01:43:07,524
- Änny!
- Mommy!

1145
01:43:11,575 --> 01:43:17,108
Änny! My dear little Änny!

1146
01:43:22,221 --> 01:43:27,041
- You look like a mess.
- Oh Änny.

1147
01:43:30,635 --> 01:43:36,979
Life is good when you have
your child. Your home, your books.

1148
01:43:37,016 --> 01:43:43,112
You have some nice books at home.
I took the time to look at them.

1149
01:43:44,281 --> 01:43:48,898
You've highlighted something
quite apt here, Mrs. Jansen.

1150
01:43:50,683 --> 01:43:55,963
"Man's dearest possession...
is life.

1151
01:43:56,000 --> 01:43:59,508
It is given to him but once."

1152
01:44:02,692 --> 01:44:06,884
The Hamburg party leader
with whom you were in Amsterdam

1153
01:44:06,921 --> 01:44:11,203
was called Lotte Waldmann
before the war. And now...

1154
01:44:11,239 --> 01:44:14,754
Now she's Erika. Right?

1155
01:44:22,299 --> 01:44:25,130
I'll make short work of you!

1156
01:44:25,167 --> 01:44:30,539
Either you'll answer me properly, or
it's the last time you see the child!

1157
01:44:30,576 --> 01:44:33,759
And vice versa!
Got it?

1158
01:44:33,796 --> 01:44:37,494
Don't cry, little Änny.

1159
01:44:37,531 --> 01:44:40,094
This too shall pass.

1160
01:44:40,131 --> 01:44:43,147
Get the child out!

1161
01:44:46,703 --> 01:44:49,412
Mommy!

1162
01:44:50,033 --> 01:44:52,735
Mommy!

1163
01:44:55,233 --> 01:44:58,189
Sturmbannführer,
important message.

1164
01:45:06,420 --> 01:45:10,494
Confidential message. The 6th Army
near Stalingrad was wiped out.

1165
01:45:10,531 --> 01:45:13,965
The Führer ordered
three days of national mourning.

1166
01:45:24,225 --> 01:45:26,777
Get out of here!

1167
01:45:49,426 --> 01:45:52,482
- What's all the ruckus?
- Increased security.

1168
01:45:52,519 --> 01:45:55,371
Defeat at Stalingrad.

1169
01:45:56,313 --> 01:46:00,538
Comrades! Victory of the
Red Army at Stalingrad!

1170
01:46:01,728 --> 01:46:04,227
Get into your cells!

1171
01:46:05,348 --> 01:46:08,295
Give her hell! Yeah!

1172
01:46:20,467 --> 01:46:24,713
You're happy too, Thälmann?
Hundreds of thousands have died.

1173
01:46:24,750 --> 01:46:28,822
Including my son.
What are you happy for, Thälmann?

1174
01:46:28,859 --> 01:46:32,066
Stalingrad is the
beginning of the end.

1175
01:46:32,103 --> 01:46:36,084
The end of Hitler.
The end of the war.

1176
01:46:39,794 --> 01:46:43,593
So that not another
100,000 sons die.

1177
01:47:19,613 --> 01:47:22,025
Our program.

1178
01:47:27,918 --> 01:47:33,670
<i>The total war proclaimed by Hitler
will lead to Germany's total defeat</i>

1179
01:47:33,707 --> 01:47:39,456
<i>unless the German people put an
end to this crime at the 11th hour!</i>

1180
01:47:39,567 --> 01:47:44,219
To this community, which represented
the entire nation at that moment,

1181
01:47:44,256 --> 01:47:47,510
the Reich Minister
posed 10 questions.

1182
01:47:47,547 --> 01:47:51,039
The English maintain that
the German people is resisting

1183
01:47:51,076 --> 01:47:55,326
the government's total war measures.

1184
01:47:55,363 --> 01:48:00,632
It does not want total war,
say the English, but capitulation.

1185
01:48:00,669 --> 01:48:02,919
Never!

1186
01:48:04,697 --> 01:48:08,103
Do you want total war?

1187
01:48:13,188 --> 01:48:17,526
- Bravo! Bravo!
- Get out of the light, man!

1188
01:48:17,563 --> 01:48:19,358
Sit down.

1189
01:48:19,395 --> 01:48:24,848
{\an5}<i>TOTAL WAR - SHORTEST WAR!</i>

1190
01:48:31,130 --> 01:48:35,632
If necessary, do you want a war
more total and radical

1191
01:48:35,669 --> 01:48:40,230
than anything we can
even imagine today?

1192
01:48:55,480 --> 01:48:57,625
<i>Air raid alert</i>

1193
01:49:00,609 --> 01:49:02,647
Fliers!

1194
01:49:03,709 --> 01:49:07,056
- Hurry, get out of here!
- Keep calm, everyone!

1195
01:49:07,093 --> 01:49:10,781
Nobody leave the hall!
Stay here!

1196
01:49:10,818 --> 01:49:13,720
Aren't you ashamed? Put it away!

1197
01:49:14,717 --> 01:49:16,772
{\an8}<i>Air raid alert</i>

1198
01:49:16,938 --> 01:49:19,765
Stay calm!

1199
01:49:19,802 --> 01:49:25,058
Follow the instructions!
Use the emergency exit!

1200
01:49:38,561 --> 01:49:42,395
- Help!
- Help!

1201
01:49:51,078 --> 01:49:54,374
You cowards!
Save the women!

1202
01:49:54,411 --> 01:49:57,378
The women, you cowards!

1203
01:49:58,188 --> 01:49:59,947
Ernst.

1204
01:49:59,984 --> 01:50:03,759
Thälmann! Thälmann!

1205
01:50:05,818 --> 01:50:07,820
Änne.

1206
01:50:08,657 --> 01:50:10,720
Änne!

1207
01:50:15,479 --> 01:50:21,357
Open up! You bastards! Open up!

1208
01:50:34,750 --> 01:50:38,594
Änne! Änne!

1209
01:50:38,631 --> 01:50:41,530
Teddy!

1210
01:50:51,670 --> 01:50:56,659
The army troop recorded these
enemy movements before 0600 hours.

1211
01:50:56,703 --> 01:51:00,828
The Ukrainian front south of Lemberg
broke through with strong forces,

1212
01:51:00,865 --> 01:51:06,432
including armored units, in two
places at the 52nd army corps.

1213
01:51:06,469 --> 01:51:09,452
Our units in this area
now risk being encircled.

1214
01:51:09,489 --> 01:51:15,769
My Führer. Reporting the successful
execution of the July 20th assassins.

1215
01:51:26,990 --> 01:51:31,510
My fellow countrymen,
victory is closer than ever.

1216
01:51:31,547 --> 01:51:35,648
We may have lost a lot, but
we have also gained much.

1217
01:51:35,685 --> 01:51:38,334
Empty backpacks
ease the march.

1218
01:51:38,371 --> 01:51:41,568
- Old bullshitter!
- I'm speaking from the Führer's HQ.

1219
01:51:41,605 --> 01:51:48,854
The Führer is calm and collected as
ever, and convinced of final victory.

1220
01:51:48,891 --> 01:51:56,118
<i>We thank Providence for protecting
him. It makes us certain that we...</i>

1221
01:51:56,481 --> 01:52:00,880
Nobody could have expected the
attempt on Hitler's life to fail.

1222
01:52:00,917 --> 01:52:03,617
We can't predict the consequences.

1223
01:52:03,654 --> 01:52:06,427
If we don't reach an agreement
with the Western powers soon...

1224
01:52:06,464 --> 01:52:10,349
That's right. It's the
only way to avert disaster.

1225
01:52:15,970 --> 01:52:20,857
Our best factories.
Our pride.

1226
01:52:22,385 --> 01:52:27,395
- Poor Germany.
- If only we can save the Ruhr area.

1227
01:52:28,411 --> 01:52:31,786
Gentlemen, I got a letter
from McFuller via Sweden.

1228
01:52:31,823 --> 01:52:36,032
- Go on?
- A promising message.

1229
01:52:37,500 --> 01:52:42,605
Can he stop the Russians?
The Russians. The Russians!

1230
01:53:23,082 --> 01:53:25,863
- <i>Who are the POWs?</i>
- <i>Captured by the 3rd regiment.</i>

1231
01:53:25,900 --> 01:53:27,999
- <i>SS members?</i>
- <i>Yes, sir.</i>

1232
01:53:28,036 --> 01:53:31,048
- <i>Do you have their names?</i>
- <i>Yes, sir.</i>

1233
01:53:39,443 --> 01:53:43,464
<i>Comrade Colonel, I'd like to
ask the prisoners a question.</i>

1234
01:53:43,500 --> 01:53:45,502
<i>Ask away.</i>

1235
01:53:46,421 --> 01:53:50,931
What have you
done to Thälmann?

1236
01:53:50,968 --> 01:53:53,438
I don't understand.

1237
01:53:53,475 --> 01:53:57,436
You don't know Thälmann?
Ernst Thälmann?

1238
01:53:57,473 --> 01:54:01,055
- No.
- Quadde is your name?

1239
01:54:01,091 --> 01:54:05,316
Sturmbannführer?
Göring's special commissioner?

1240
01:54:05,353 --> 01:54:09,321
And you have never
heard of Thälmann?

1241
01:54:09,358 --> 01:54:14,087
Or of Buchenwald,
Dachau, Auschwitz?

1242
01:54:14,124 --> 01:54:18,573
That will be revealed.
<i>Take him away.</i>

1243
01:54:30,023 --> 01:54:33,164
My Führer,
Army Group South reports

1244
01:54:33,201 --> 01:54:37,986
the enemy has nearly
closed the ring in the south.

1245
01:54:39,450 --> 01:54:43,985
I fear, my Führer, large parts of
this army group are lost as well.

1246
01:54:44,022 --> 01:54:47,409
What does that mean?
Is that an innuendo?

1247
01:54:47,446 --> 01:54:50,167
Is that supposed to be a threat?

1248
01:54:50,204 --> 01:54:55,273
I removed the word "capitulation"
from the German lexicon in 1933.

1249
01:54:55,310 --> 01:54:59,699
We will fight to the last man!

1250
01:55:02,577 --> 01:55:07,493
After us, there can't and won't
be anyone left in Germany.

1251
01:55:20,017 --> 01:55:23,130
Before we yield, we'll
slam the door so hard

1252
01:55:23,167 --> 01:55:26,292
that all of Europe will tremble.

1253
01:55:35,421 --> 01:55:39,557
If Germany proves
unworthy of me...

1254
01:55:39,594 --> 01:55:43,993
I will shed no tears
for the German people.

1255
01:55:58,569 --> 01:56:00,944
What's the matter?

1256
01:56:02,195 --> 01:56:05,167
The Russians can
no longer be stopped.

1257
01:56:05,204 --> 01:56:08,956
They're encircling
one army after another.

1258
01:56:08,993 --> 01:56:11,737
And Hitler's wonder weapons...

1259
01:56:11,773 --> 01:56:14,909
But it's all over anyway.

1260
01:56:14,946 --> 01:56:17,354
Warden.

1261
01:56:21,065 --> 01:56:24,123
Something else is bothering you.

1262
01:56:32,786 --> 01:56:36,848
The last one.
I already lost two.

1263
01:56:36,885 --> 01:56:41,483
Now he's off to the front too.
To Lemberg, anti-air support.

1264
01:56:41,520 --> 01:56:44,409
Not yet 16 years old.

1265
01:56:44,446 --> 01:56:49,784
What should I do, Mr. Thälmann?
He's my only one.

1266
01:56:49,821 --> 01:56:56,255
- What's the boy supposed to do?
- What should the boy do?

1267
01:56:56,292 --> 01:57:00,821
Defect.
He should live.

1268
01:57:00,858 --> 01:57:04,976
Live, for a new,
for a better Germany.

1269
01:57:16,500 --> 01:57:21,931
We must get the pocket to
capitulate. 60,000 Germans, Fiete.

1270
01:57:21,968 --> 01:57:26,330
Every extra hour saves
thousands of our compatriots.

1271
01:57:46,291 --> 01:57:50,677
At noon, the Soviet High Command
will send peace envoys.

1272
01:57:50,714 --> 01:57:54,676
You must be in operation by then.

1273
01:57:54,713 --> 01:57:58,030
60,000 lives, Fiete.

1274
01:58:03,707 --> 01:58:07,359
- Good luck.
- We'll make it good.

1275
01:58:33,968 --> 01:58:38,499
General, reporting as ordered.
640 wounded are ready for transport.

1276
01:58:38,536 --> 01:58:42,482
Get going, quick. Who knows how long
we can hold the train tracks.

1277
01:58:42,519 --> 01:58:46,523
Hold it! The Russians are
about to breach the rails.

1278
01:58:46,560 --> 01:58:48,862
General.

1279
01:58:49,647 --> 01:58:53,942
I demand that all the wounded
be cast to the front.

1280
01:58:55,909 --> 01:58:58,059
Why don't you step in?

1281
01:58:58,096 --> 01:59:02,677
You know the order. The pocket
must be kept to the last man.

1282
01:59:02,714 --> 01:59:05,158
Captain of War Industry!

1283
01:59:05,195 --> 01:59:11,515
These are wounded.
That's inhumane.

1284
01:59:11,552 --> 01:59:13,363
Captain Schröder.

1285
01:59:13,400 --> 01:59:18,380
This rash remark can be atoned
only through direct deployment.

1286
01:59:19,217 --> 01:59:23,535
General, I request a transfer
to the combat unit.

1287
02:00:24,375 --> 02:00:28,369
The Führer's orders, General,
give you the support you need.

1288
02:00:28,406 --> 02:00:32,868
And the liquidation of camp inmates
and Polish east plants workers

1289
02:00:32,905 --> 02:00:36,638
is entirely consistent
with this order.

1290
02:01:16,890 --> 02:01:19,963
Aurora here, respond.

1291
02:01:20,000 --> 02:01:23,274
Aurora here.
Respond.

1292
02:01:23,311 --> 02:01:27,396
- Did you connect?
- Yes. Aurora.

1293
02:01:29,843 --> 02:01:33,338
Attention, the slogan is:

1294
02:01:33,375 --> 02:01:38,759
All weapons against Hitler.
All forces for a free Germany.

1295
02:01:38,796 --> 02:01:40,898
Instructions will follow.

1296
02:01:40,935 --> 02:01:46,213
Tell Stanislaus a truck with his
compatriots is coming. Partisans.

1297
02:01:47,484 --> 02:01:51,560
They're bringing weapons.
He's to assign them as workers.

1298
02:01:59,071 --> 02:02:02,916
- Where did you come from?
- Labor brigade helpers, commander.

1299
02:02:02,953 --> 02:02:05,249
You're pretty late.

1300
02:02:05,286 --> 02:02:08,994
- Tools for the construction site.
- Hop on to the car.

1301
02:02:09,031 --> 02:02:12,358
You'll continue to the work yard.

1302
02:02:13,826 --> 02:02:15,748
Aurora?

1303
02:02:34,671 --> 02:02:41,218
Those must be our last reserves.
Seeing them, I know what's up.

1304
02:02:47,114 --> 02:02:49,375
What's your deal,
gonna relieve us?

1305
02:02:49,411 --> 02:02:53,148
- Must be the breakthrough forces.
- Shut your mouth.

1306
02:02:54,210 --> 02:02:59,854
<i>Soldiers.
Encircled German soldiers.</i>

1307
02:02:59,891 --> 02:03:05,026
- Quiet! Nobody talk!
- <i>We're sending peace envoys.</i>

1308
02:03:05,063 --> 02:03:10,084
<i>Save your life
from certain death.</i>

1309
02:04:11,329 --> 02:04:14,105
What does that mean?
Those were peace envoys!

1310
02:04:14,141 --> 02:04:16,056
You could see that clearly.

1311
02:04:16,093 --> 02:04:21,124
The Russians will make us pay.
Jesus, <i>we're</i> trapped here. Not them.

1312
02:04:21,161 --> 02:04:24,718
- I clearly saw the white flag.
- Sure, they wanted to negotiate.

1313
02:04:24,765 --> 02:04:28,523
Shut up!
You still don't understa--

1314
02:04:38,974 --> 02:04:41,223
Where's the boss?

1315
02:04:41,260 --> 02:04:45,288
- Went to get dressed in civvies.
- Go, go!

1316
02:04:52,264 --> 02:04:56,469
Hold on!
Wait! Wait!

1317
02:05:30,203 --> 02:05:32,619
Now they'll send the tanks.

1318
02:05:32,656 --> 02:05:37,354
<i>Compatriots. As chairman of
the Communist Party of Germany,</i>

1319
02:05:37,391 --> 02:05:43,651
<i>Deputy of Ernst Thälmann,
I urge you: Lay down your arms.</i>

1320
02:05:43,688 --> 02:05:47,570
- Isn't that Wilhelm Pieck?
- <i>Don't run to a senseless death.</i>

1321
02:05:47,607 --> 02:05:50,070
<i>Hitler's regime is finished.</i>

1322
02:05:50,107 --> 02:05:55,822
<i>But the German people need you
to build a better Germany.</i>

1323
02:05:55,859 --> 02:05:57,799
<i>Compatriots.</i>

1324
02:05:57,835 --> 02:06:03,744
<i>Our people will create a free,
peaceable, independent Germany.</i>

1325
02:06:03,781 --> 02:06:08,681
<i>We call on all German
patriots to do this.</i>

1326
02:06:08,718 --> 02:06:14,651
<i>Germany should achieve true
greatness and real prosperity.</i>

1327
02:06:14,688 --> 02:06:22,414
<i>Just as Thälmann said in the program
of social and national liberation.</i>

1328
02:06:22,895 --> 02:06:25,344
- Think they mean it?
- Baloney.

1329
02:06:25,380 --> 02:06:29,941
They'll finish us all off. Make us
pay for that peace envoy mess.

1330
02:06:29,978 --> 02:06:31,891
Compatriots!

1331
02:06:31,928 --> 02:06:36,140
The Russians have us by the throat.
All they have to do is squeeze.

1332
02:06:36,177 --> 02:06:40,910
But they don't want to. Otherwise,
would they call off the barrage?

1333
02:06:40,947 --> 02:06:43,399
That man's a Red!

1334
02:06:48,467 --> 02:06:50,468
Jeez!

1335
02:06:55,874 --> 02:06:59,056
What happens if we capitulate?

1336
02:06:59,093 --> 02:07:01,816
That'll be up to us.

1337
02:07:03,453 --> 02:07:05,460
Captain.

1338
02:07:06,321 --> 02:07:09,870
Got the courage to go over with me?

1339
02:07:13,656 --> 02:07:18,311
Good, let's go. You'll prepare the
capitulation here in this section.

1340
02:07:18,359 --> 02:07:20,374
Please.

1341
02:07:21,296 --> 02:07:26,814
- Take me with you.
- But, kid. It's not that easy.

1342
02:07:26,850 --> 02:07:30,409
My father told me about Thälmann.
He said we should defect.

1343
02:07:30,446 --> 02:07:32,650
Where? In prison?

1344
02:07:32,687 --> 02:07:36,010
He's... guarding Thälmann.

1345
02:07:36,047 --> 02:07:40,241
Please. Take me with you.

1346
02:07:46,688 --> 02:07:50,008
Agreed. Let's go.

1347
02:08:04,936 --> 02:08:08,479
Tell me, what kind of
German are you anyway?

1348
02:08:08,516 --> 02:08:11,869
Fighting against your own country?

1349
02:08:11,906 --> 02:08:14,716
No, it's not like that at all.

1350
02:08:17,921 --> 02:08:21,104
I'm fighting against Hitler
for Germany.

1351
02:08:21,141 --> 02:08:24,401
In the spirit of Thälmann,
all weapons against Hitler.

1352
02:08:24,438 --> 02:08:27,819
For Germany.
Germany must be saved.

1353
02:08:52,155 --> 02:08:57,446
What am I doing?
Where am I going?

1354
02:08:57,483 --> 02:09:01,037
We're going forward, Captain.

1355
02:09:01,074 --> 02:09:03,874
Forward.

1356
02:09:39,151 --> 02:09:42,162
The Russians broke through
the train tracks!

1357
02:09:58,499 --> 02:10:02,010
Hermann Göring Division
stop, hold position.

1358
02:10:04,859 --> 02:10:07,965
60 tanks coming straight at us!

1359
02:10:56,470 --> 02:11:00,206
<i>Comrade Colonel, the
enemy command has been captured.</i>

1360
02:11:15,421 --> 02:11:21,196
Colonel, on behalf of my officers,
I'd like to ask some questions.

1361
02:11:21,233 --> 02:11:22,728
Firstly.

1362
02:11:22,765 --> 02:11:28,072
May we take provisions and personal
belongings with us into captivity?

1363
02:11:28,109 --> 02:11:29,337
Secondly.

1364
02:11:29,374 --> 02:11:35,537
Even in captivity, will these
resources be available to us?

1365
02:11:37,218 --> 02:11:39,243
Thirdly.

1366
02:11:39,280 --> 02:11:45,111
Will the privileges granted to us
officers by international provisions

1367
02:11:45,148 --> 02:11:47,774
be guaranteed?

1368
02:11:47,811 --> 02:11:52,548
No thoughts given
to your soldiers?

1369
02:11:54,202 --> 02:11:59,270
All provisions of international law
will be complied with.

1370
02:12:00,328 --> 02:12:07,184
Declare the surrender of your
entire army corps. You understand?

1371
02:12:20,608 --> 02:12:24,985
And the director of the east plants?
Do you know where he is?

1372
02:12:34,273 --> 02:12:37,414
The director is merely
a private citizen here.

1373
02:12:37,451 --> 02:12:43,085
In private or in uniform. We don't
care how you'll sit in the dock.

1374
02:12:43,122 --> 02:12:45,776
Who are you anyway?

1375
02:12:47,311 --> 02:12:49,947
A shipyard worker from Hamburg.

1376
02:12:49,984 --> 02:12:52,711
A German patriot.

1377
02:12:52,748 --> 02:12:55,193
A student of Thälmann.

1378
02:13:12,577 --> 02:13:15,901
Our Thälmann.

1379
02:13:15,938 --> 02:13:19,971
<i>That's our banner!
We flew it at Stalingrad.</i>

1380
02:13:20,007 --> 02:13:22,680
<i>And all the way here.</i>

1381
02:14:20,108 --> 02:14:23,474
Fiete.
Fiete Jansen!

1382
02:14:52,555 --> 02:14:56,334
<i>The resistance against the
barbarism of fascism is growing.</i>

1383
02:14:56,370 --> 02:14:59,849
<i>It will come to be,
because it must.</i>

1384
02:14:59,885 --> 02:15:03,755
<i>The liberated working class
will seize the flag of the nation</i>

1385
02:15:03,791 --> 02:15:07,763
<i>and carry it forward,
towards the spring of nations.</i>

1386
02:15:12,604 --> 02:15:16,017
Get yourself ready,
Thälmann.

1387
02:15:50,965 --> 02:15:55,694
Well? I'm sure you know
what's coming now.

1388
02:15:55,731 --> 02:15:58,467
Yes.

1389
02:15:58,504 --> 02:16:01,811
A better Germany.

1390
02:16:01,848 --> 02:16:05,102
A Germany without you.

1391
02:16:10,060 --> 02:16:18,860
<i>Man's dearest possession is life.
It is given to him but once.</i>

1392
02:16:18,897 --> 02:16:24,083
<i>And he must so live it
that, dying, he might say:</i>

1393
02:16:24,120 --> 02:16:32,083
<i>I gave all my life, all my strength
to the finest cause in the world,</i>

1394
02:16:32,120 --> 02:16:36,285
<i>the fight for the
liberation of mankind.</i>
