Berne -Swiss capital- "Second lieutenant," Hegel report to you At first I was alone here when tanks came No soldiers? "No, neither Soviet or German soldiers" How to keep an order? Damn it! We must keep on going But the backup forces have not arrived The backup forces are all good-for-nothing "General, report" Where do "you come from, second lieutenant?" "Moscow, general Where?" "Chohen, general" "Now, I can't assign Chohen to you" It was took by Yankees "However, Berne can be given to you" Go to issue my order. Be quick Get on Wartin I am the commander "Wait for instruction, commander" Confidential documents "Come over, girl" Come on What are you waiting for? Someone committed suicide Your mom? No You live here I've been here for only 2 days Do you know why she committed suicide? Maybe it will be taken here Why? The war is over Do you have any families? My mom fled away. I cound not keep up with them Formal administration will begin 2 weeks later And then "Then live, work at usual" How to live? Work? Shall I stay here? Get back? Or go to Heisen You're German? You came from there? Second lieutenant? Yes There is a banner on the building Let me go Now I can only do this I hope you will kindly accept The war made so many people dead by fighting I ask for staying with my colleague in the city I mean The house is not permitted to hang a banner Listen to me The headquarters The first visitor Wish you a delightful afternoon I beg for something to be permitted It will be printed tomorrow? "Ok, that's it" Coffee? No Show you some data On the advertisement 28 to 33 You're a capitalist? No Political loser, Borocks What? We need a mayor You act as the mayor "Me? No, you take it" I'm too old You have to take it What the sign means? It is my own mark of signature how many else others can't understand? "Do you need help," second lieutenant? No I can help you I can do it Turn off Ok. You may go Yes Not bad "Second lieutenant," there is a girl She knows you Let her in What happened to her? Your order What do you want? Can I sleep here? "No room, it's not a residence" I've no places to go It's not a residence You speak German? What do you want? She wants to sleep over here Your German is not bad She is scared "No, she is afraid of you" Afraid of our Soviets Since we "communicate very well, I tell you" I'm scared too That's terror of death She is also scared. She is also a soldier? Yes what? She asks you if you are also a soldier Tell her I jioned the army not for fun I jioned it when I got homeless She said she... You Germans invaded in that winter "It was -30C, freezing" I saw myself many elders and kids fleed away Interpret all to her Germans invaded and slaughtered in that winter I don't believe what she said? She doesn't believe Because you didn't interpret well Can't you understand? "How can you understand, ass?" What? I did nothing Why did you invaded into our nation and committed those crimes? "I did nothing, nothing" I did not invade. We have no relatives left now You see She is now really scared What's up? Our tank comes over I get out to have a look Where should sleep? There's a bedchamber over there Take her to there I go to have a rest Stop Where have you gone? Stop Where? What? Why get back? What direction is to go forward and back off? Get out my way What do you do? I was appointed "to be the commander, right?" Yes I'm the commander "You're lucky, commander" "You're lucky, commander" Be careful Who's there? Stop Now report the latest news about the war The two armies are fighting furiously The result of it would give more hurt to the people The war goes on "Qith, come to drink a cup of tea" "Get up, Gecagle" "Gecagle," the pistol is on the stage Just like Zekututhif won Napoleon's invasion "Keep on going, my friends" How did you come? To have breakfast? Go to wash your face and hands Gecagle? Where is the dish? What dish? The one I gave to yo The dish I gave to you No dish How can they treat the commander like that? They didn't know he's the commander A consequent treatment will be soon Why there's no elementary treatment? "April 23rd,1944" We have already finished settlement work in the city Why did you come here? For what? We came to take over "As I know," I should go on with my work Don't you know that tanks have already entered into Germany? I work for Berlin Government of German I am now the commander here You are a German? Pack up you articles You know all the things here? What are you talking about? I'm going to make a call with my superior "Sasha, he wants to" make a call to Berlin to confirm Please Put me through on the headquarters line This city is also to be taken over? To a Soviet interpretor? I can't confirm it My task is to take over the city to superior Soviet officers You're an idiot Can we talk about it? "Second lieutenant," Hegel is talking to you "Hegel, it's you" "I'm a second lieutenant, Hegel" No more such silly rubbish! You're asses Now listen to me carefully I'm captain Czickamank You are? You are a Fascist The damned Nazi ringleader's son? Please "April 24th,1944 Our tanks converted" from the west to the south of Berlin Arrived Sacksonhowth on that day What did you do to him? He fled And hided. Any else? He must be a warehouse-keeper I have to make it clear at first What do you do? You are a guard? Why did you keep close? Have you made it clear? He is not a guard Do you think that he is a fascist? I must make it clear Didn't see that warehouse? What else did you know there? Go to have a look yo What are those things? It's unnecessary for us to research Look at those things Where did you come? Kyiv I came from Leningrad Lying How could you come from Leningrad? Go to the hell! Don't! Don't There is nothing else except patients in the warehouse We left without administration the first time we were too late and it was taken over by other troops What else can we say except "sorry" An executioner from Sacksonhowth said We have been killing with poison gas for 3 years Can you explain how to operate? Ok The vessel can be operated like this And close like this Liquid inpours Through the second bibcock Open the vessel The gas rises Then the poison gas rises How long does it take to kill a person? A very short time Ten minutes Many persons would die Struggling like this With flakey sounds We can see their painful appearance outsides See many persons die How do they come in? So One after one With hands on the chest Come over slowly Then stand here Stretch their bodies To be measured exactly And then the man on the side begins to read the data Most of the decedents belongs to which nation? "All the nations, most to Soviet" "Especially the two months," September and October of 1941 "As I know, about 13,400 persons" When? Here? From 1938 Can you tell me all that you saw here? Ok You may go on living here I want to go anywhere needs me more urgently You know the duty of my work But I guess the problem is not like this "With Germans," you may have more unexpected problems I have such an experience Germans want to unify all nations and nationalities "To build a united society," to build factories "Enough, Wartin" What about music Will you make a fortune if you kill all of us? We want to kill nobody I want to drink "Maybe," Nazi movement is different I want to talk about the history of Germany Do you understand the word Latin? It means the center centralizes all rights Instruction of the superior must be obeyed This is the theoretic origin of Hitler They put it into their own system Then what happened? Many people joined An absolutely obedient system Then a movement wave was brought out It's so natural Our history was destroyed like this without any accomplishment I think personally that the nation was destroyed politically But never culturally You can see it for you are in Germany He is also a German His dad came over by emigration So knew more about the nation Even born in Germany he could not get rid of the nature I said Soviets answered with a successful example A bad dancer always tries to cover his default of the feet What it means? It needs no interpretation "Play those discs, ok?" Ok Did you find the so-called Germany on the book? I want to find the Germany in life I don't believe Destiny cannot be changed Even for a natural human People cannot understand it and so always explore ceaselessly I have been studying for a long time how human gets rid of it The problem is whether we have the real human history of ourselves By adopting war? Maybe it's a simple way I'm convinced that there is an outlet of human being "At last, time and history" become concise and simple But we have to face nowadays life It possible for human to get rid of power of the god To gain their own liberation To struggle against the nature You know that saying? I ever had a beautiful nation But suffered disasters Falling apart Now a dream It's my beloved Germany and German "My faith, my love and those words" Shut up! Stop slop over! Gecagle "Let me peaceful, ass" "April 30th,1944" Now Berlin is dismissed without any resistance We have a special task Give you the last digest I don't understand I read it again for you? "You are going, leaving me alone" "An order is an order, you know" I know "Second lieutenant Hegel, come over" Put off your coat Throw it You forgot the banner "Qith, bring it over here" "Thank you, Sasha" Attention The men to meet the negotiator come No indiscretion "Attention," two negotiatiators come over No indiscretion "Attention," two negotiators come over No indiscretion Begin What begin means? Hello Hello What's up? We are negotiators What do you want? We are negotiators. Open the door Just like the novel of Shakespeare I'm the captain stationing here General Gemey sent us here for peace talks I'm interpreter Hegel I hope you will not hide any more because We have already know by your speaker that We need all officers to discuss and then to decide I hope you can understand me German military has its unique administrative system It's different from your administrative system I hope you consider this matter on our side My staff has gone to inform other officers A nice night Merely after winter went away My army life began from the World War I Actually it's unnecessary to talk about that Tell you officers that I want to treat them I think we should believe them We should believe them A good idea Sweets Other officials asked you go to consult together He asked to go personally Then we go there Will they use violence to us? What? I can ensure your security He understands Go on with you idea Come on Ok I'm Milet. Laherb We come to inform you Our army has already taken Berlin "Berlin was divided into two parts, taken" by Americans and our Soviets respectively Now we take charge of here I hope you will cooperate with us peacefully It benefits both of us and no conflict happens You all saw the pain the war brought to us before So I hope we can cooperate well each other to reach our common peace goal We know there are many women and children I hope you think it over We will report to our superior about the related matters We will earnestly deal with it Some other problems have not yet been mentioned We have sent men the superior to report details They will come back soon to inform you "After they feed back," we will take some relevant measures Credibility of information is important to us "According to you," why not to come with American troops? We know that we should come together It's elementary system and principal How will you deal with officers after incorporation? Are you Nazi officer? What if yes? I didn't say I am or not You came only to overcome ou We didn't adopt any compulsive measures to you at all Mr. Captain "Gentlemen, we must" consider realistic problems Who can ensure them the news about Berlin is true? "One left, the rest also works" Read it to them "If you want to surrender," according to the file No. 1074 You are to be dealt with a series incorporation and degation What has he done? They went to street And then? Drop ladder and they climbed down Later the adjutant climbed up Anything else? The chief talked with Soviet troops What did they do? Gave them something to eat And? Went on talking and then waiting What did he give them? What's it on earth? Somewhat like chocolate What? Somewhat like chocolate It's true. I know you're great Nothing else Betrayer Thank you chap You're qualified to wear it Take an oath Be loyal to the leader Come again Be loyal to the leader "Ok, chap" Leave He's better than others What? What're they doing? They're discussing whether to surrender It's going to be decided It's up to them An answer has not been given formally Anyhow it will be the same surrender We stationed here more than one year It's doomed to be like this It's like "the beginning, nothing at last" What worries is whether they will be killed after surrender It's fate and who will believe? You decide Thank you It's very simple and ask them to hurry up to decide Not simple Why not simple? Decide yourselves The decision has to take all possibilities into consideration Now it's time for us to decide And I also hope you make a commitment over our destiny Do you understand? We must decide soon Shall we come back to report Go back to the headquarters or? Have a look at first Ok We decided Honored gentlemen You cannot miss the last chance You cannot delay any more or we will take action Take them back Berlin is dead Where to take us?
