1
00:01:58,862 --> 00:02:00,319
Thirty thousand.

2
00:02:00,405 --> 00:02:01,737
From the Russians?

3
00:02:01,824 --> 00:02:03,281
No, from the French.

4
00:02:03,367 --> 00:02:06,781
From the Russians, we capture
more than that every day.

5
00:02:25,722 --> 00:02:27,509
Mr. Postman.

6
00:02:28,559 --> 00:02:31,723
War is war and schnapps is
schnapps, but business must go on.

7
00:02:31,895 --> 00:02:33,102
You didn't leave
the mail yet this morning.

8
00:02:33,188 --> 00:02:35,521
Ah, I'm sorry, Mr. Meyer.

9
00:02:39,653 --> 00:02:42,066
Hello, Himmelstoss.
Anything for us today?

10
00:02:42,156 --> 00:02:43,237
No, no, Master Peter.

11
00:02:43,323 --> 00:02:44,313
C'mon, there must be something.

12
00:02:44,408 --> 00:02:46,650
Here, here you go, young rascal.

13
00:02:47,119 --> 00:02:50,032
There. This is the last
mail I deliver, anyhow.

14
00:02:50,122 --> 00:02:51,112
What?

15
00:02:51,206 --> 00:02:52,742
Tomorrow I change uniform.

16
00:02:52,833 --> 00:02:53,823
You're going in the army?

17
00:02:53,917 --> 00:02:55,328
Yes, I was called.

18
00:02:55,419 --> 00:02:57,661
I'm a sergeant in the
reserves, you know.

19
00:02:57,754 --> 00:03:00,167
I'll be called myself, if it
doesn't end in a few months.

20
00:03:00,257 --> 00:03:01,247
It will, though.

21
00:03:01,341 --> 00:03:03,128
I'm sure you're right,
Mr. Meyer.

22
00:04:06,365 --> 00:04:07,947
...and join the mighty army

23
00:04:08,033 --> 00:04:11,117
that is defending our
country, our fatherland.

24
00:04:11,203 --> 00:04:14,947
Now, my beloved class,
this is what we must do.

25
00:04:15,415 --> 00:04:17,623
Strike with all our power.

26
00:04:17,709 --> 00:04:19,792
Give every ounce of strength

27
00:04:19,878 --> 00:04:23,292
to win victory before
the end of the year.

28
00:04:24,007 --> 00:04:27,796
It is with reluctance that I
bring this subject up again.

29
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,304
You are the life of
the fatherland, you boys.

30
00:04:32,391 --> 00:04:35,429
You are the iron men of Germany.

31
00:04:35,519 --> 00:04:39,388
You are the gay heroes
who will repulse the enemy

32
00:04:39,481 --> 00:04:41,814
when you are
called upon to do so.

33
00:04:41,900 --> 00:04:44,813
It is not for me
to suggest that any of you

34
00:04:44,903 --> 00:04:48,567
should stand up and offer
to defend his country.

35
00:04:48,657 --> 00:04:51,821
But I wonder if such a thing
is going through your heads.

36
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,073
I know that
in one of the schools

37
00:04:55,163 --> 00:04:57,655
the boys have risen up
in the classroom

38
00:04:57,749 --> 00:04:59,741
and enlisted in a mass.

39
00:05:00,043 --> 00:05:02,751
But, of course, if such a
thing should happen here

40
00:05:02,838 --> 00:05:05,831
you would not blame me
for a feeling of pride.

41
00:05:05,924 --> 00:05:08,041
Perhaps some will say

42
00:05:08,135 --> 00:05:10,297
<i>that you should not
be allowed to go yet,</i>

43
00:05:10,387 --> 00:05:15,303
<i>that you are too young, that you
have homes, mothers, fathers,</i>

44
00:05:15,392 --> 00:05:17,600
<i>that you should
not be torn away.</i>

45
00:05:17,686 --> 00:05:21,896
<i>Are your fathers so forgetful
of their fatherland</i>

46
00:05:21,982 --> 00:05:25,066
<i>that they would let it
perish rather than you?</i>

47
00:05:26,528 --> 00:05:30,613
Are your mothers so weak
that they cannot send a son

48
00:05:30,699 --> 00:05:33,407
to defend the land
which gave them birth?

49
00:05:33,493 --> 00:05:37,112
And after all,
is a little experience

50
00:05:37,205 --> 00:05:39,743
such a bad thing for a boy?

51
00:05:41,001 --> 00:05:44,290
Is the honor
of wearing a uniform

52
00:05:44,379 --> 00:05:46,871
something from
which we should run?

53
00:05:47,341 --> 00:05:50,800
<i>And if our young ladies glory
in those who wear it,</i>

54
00:05:50,886 --> 00:05:53,344
<i>is that anything
to be ashamed of?</i>

55
00:05:53,430 --> 00:05:58,050
I know you have never desired
the adulation of heroes.

56
00:05:58,518 --> 00:06:01,181
That has not been
part of my teaching.

57
00:06:01,730 --> 00:06:04,518
We have sought to
make ourselves worthy

58
00:06:04,608 --> 00:06:07,396
and let acclaim
come when it would.

59
00:06:07,986 --> 00:06:10,820
But to be foremost in battle

60
00:06:11,406 --> 00:06:13,944
is a virtue not to be despised.

61
00:06:15,077 --> 00:06:17,194
I believe it will be
a quick war,

62
00:06:17,287 --> 00:06:19,119
that there will be few losses.

63
00:06:19,206 --> 00:06:21,448
But if losses there must be,

64
00:06:21,541 --> 00:06:24,625
then let us remember
the Latin phrase

65
00:06:24,711 --> 00:06:27,829
which must have come to
the lips of many a Roman

66
00:06:27,923 --> 00:06:31,132
when he stood embattled
in a foreign land,

67
00:06:31,510 --> 00:06:35,675
<i>"Dulce et decorum
est pro patria mori."</i>

68
00:06:36,473 --> 00:06:41,093
"Sweet and fitting it is
to die for the fatherland."

69
00:06:42,979 --> 00:06:45,392
Some of you may have ambitions.

70
00:06:45,482 --> 00:06:49,772
I know of one young man who
has great promise as a writer

71
00:06:50,487 --> 00:06:53,230
and he has written
the first act of a tragedy

72
00:06:53,323 --> 00:06:55,940
which would be a credit
to one of the masters.

73
00:06:56,201 --> 00:06:58,284
And he is dreaming, I suppose,

74
00:06:58,370 --> 00:07:02,580
of following in the footsteps
of Goethe and Schiller,

75
00:07:03,125 --> 00:07:04,616
and I hope he will.

76
00:07:05,085 --> 00:07:07,668
But now our country calls.

77
00:07:07,754 --> 00:07:10,167
The fatherland needs leaders.

78
00:07:10,257 --> 00:07:13,841
Personal ambition
must be thrown aside

79
00:07:13,927 --> 00:07:17,546
in the one great sacrifice
for our country.

80
00:07:18,557 --> 00:07:22,392
Here is a glorious
beginning for your lives.

81
00:07:22,477 --> 00:07:25,015
The field of honor calls you.

82
00:07:25,105 --> 00:07:27,188
Why are we here?

83
00:07:27,482 --> 00:07:30,350
You, Kropp,
what has kept you back?

84
00:07:30,485 --> 00:07:34,820
You, Mueller, you know
how much you are needed?

85
00:07:34,906 --> 00:07:38,490
Ah, I see you look
at your leader.

86
00:07:39,661 --> 00:07:43,701
And I, too,
look to you, Paul Bäumer,

87
00:07:44,124 --> 00:07:46,411
and I wonder what
you are going to do.

88
00:07:46,877 --> 00:07:48,493
- I'll go.
- I want to go.

89
00:07:48,587 --> 00:07:49,577
Count on me.

90
00:07:50,005 --> 00:07:50,995
Me, too.

91
00:07:51,923 --> 00:07:52,913
I'm ready.

92
00:07:53,300 --> 00:07:54,711
I'm not gonna stay home.

93
00:08:04,019 --> 00:08:07,353
Follow me! Enlist now!

94
00:08:07,439 --> 00:08:10,523
No more classes!

95
00:08:11,776 --> 00:08:14,018
- Don't be a quitter.
- Come on, Behn!

96
00:08:14,112 --> 00:08:16,149
Stick together. That's
what we've got to do.

97
00:08:16,239 --> 00:08:17,696
Let's all stick together.

98
00:08:17,782 --> 00:08:19,239
Come on, Behn.

99
00:08:20,410 --> 00:08:22,652
All right. All right.

100
00:08:22,996 --> 00:08:24,032
I'll go.

101
00:08:24,122 --> 00:08:25,158
That's the way!

102
00:08:25,248 --> 00:08:27,160
Let's go!

103
00:08:28,668 --> 00:08:30,785
Sing! Let's sing! Come on!

104
00:10:04,514 --> 00:10:06,096
Keep in line, there, soldiers.

105
00:10:06,182 --> 00:10:09,050
Anything you say, General.

106
00:10:10,895 --> 00:10:12,557
Detail, halt!

107
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,181
Left face!

108
00:10:15,775 --> 00:10:18,358
Get into uniform, ready to report.
Fall out.

109
00:10:35,045 --> 00:10:37,378
I bet you a place like this
gets you in good condition.

110
00:10:37,464 --> 00:10:39,205
You have to be
for the long marches.

111
00:10:39,299 --> 00:10:41,541
I'm gonna get in
the cavalry and ride.

112
00:10:42,052 --> 00:10:44,089
No cavalry for me.

113
00:10:44,179 --> 00:10:46,466
Infantry's where
you see the fighting.

114
00:10:47,057 --> 00:10:49,299
Where are all the guns?
That's what I want to know.

115
00:10:49,392 --> 00:10:51,179
Oh, you don't get a gun
for a long while yet.

116
00:10:51,436 --> 00:10:54,850
Well, if I'm gonna bump off the
enemy, I gotta have some practice.

117
00:10:54,939 --> 00:10:56,100
Ow!

118
00:10:56,941 --> 00:10:59,058
Bayonet drill.
That's what I want.

119
00:11:02,238 --> 00:11:04,730
You won a medal
that time, Mueller.

120
00:11:04,908 --> 00:11:07,901
You wait. In about a month,
I'll be covered with them.

121
00:11:09,079 --> 00:11:10,991
Say, keep your boots
out of my face.

122
00:11:11,081 --> 00:11:14,245
Why, it's an honor to have
those boots in your face.

123
00:11:14,417 --> 00:11:18,081
They're the best pair in the army.
My uncle gave them to me.

124
00:11:18,338 --> 00:11:20,921
Just look at that
special imported leather.

125
00:11:21,257 --> 00:11:24,091
Put them anyplace you like,
except in my face.

126
00:11:24,594 --> 00:11:27,257
Not even a kitchen
maid'll look at me in this.

127
00:11:28,306 --> 00:11:29,296
Attention!

128
00:11:32,102 --> 00:11:34,344
Well, for the love of...
It's Himmelstoss!

129
00:11:34,437 --> 00:11:35,518
So it is.

130
00:11:35,605 --> 00:11:36,937
And all dressed up.

131
00:11:37,232 --> 00:11:38,348
Hello, Himmie.

132
00:11:38,441 --> 00:11:41,149
You didn't think you'd see
me again so soon, did you?

133
00:11:43,154 --> 00:11:44,144
You see my rank?

134
00:11:44,239 --> 00:11:45,696
Sure.

135
00:11:45,782 --> 00:11:47,444
Fall back, then!

136
00:11:47,575 --> 00:11:49,316
Himmelstoss, we certainly
are glad to see you.

137
00:11:49,411 --> 00:11:50,527
What did you say?

138
00:11:50,620 --> 00:11:52,327
- I was going to say...
- Never mind!

139
00:11:52,414 --> 00:11:53,700
What's the matter
with you, Himmelstoss?

140
00:11:53,790 --> 00:11:56,373
When you address your
superior officer, say "sir."

141
00:11:56,459 --> 00:11:57,825
Where'd he get
such a nice uniform?

142
00:11:57,919 --> 00:11:59,205
Will there be any
mail for us, Himmie?

143
00:11:59,295 --> 00:12:00,285
Quiet!

144
00:12:00,380 --> 00:12:01,666
My dear fellow, you're shouting.

145
00:12:01,756 --> 00:12:04,043
Come on, Himmelstoss.
We know you.

146
00:12:04,134 --> 00:12:05,966
Take off the false whiskers.

147
00:12:07,470 --> 00:12:08,631
I believe you mean it.

148
00:12:08,722 --> 00:12:10,554
You'll find out that I mean it.

149
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,427
But only three days ago
you were our postman.

150
00:12:12,517 --> 00:12:13,633
Silence!

151
00:12:14,811 --> 00:12:16,393
Come back here!

152
00:12:21,359 --> 00:12:22,770
Line up!

153
00:12:23,486 --> 00:12:27,105
Line up! Get in some kind of a line!
Don't even think about it.

154
00:12:27,490 --> 00:12:30,073
All of you! Line up, I say!

155
00:12:42,672 --> 00:12:43,662
Hmm.

156
00:12:45,925 --> 00:12:48,167
What a pretty sight that is.

157
00:12:48,595 --> 00:12:51,087
Have you never heard
of standing in line?

158
00:12:51,389 --> 00:12:53,051
You make a fine mess of it.

159
00:12:53,141 --> 00:12:55,303
Well, I'll have to teach you.

160
00:12:55,518 --> 00:12:57,931
We'll spend
the whole day on it, huh?

161
00:12:59,314 --> 00:13:02,307
You may be stupid,
but I'm used to that.

162
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:06,019
And then there'll be
plenty of other things, too.

163
00:13:06,112 --> 00:13:08,195
Oh, I'll not neglect you.

164
00:13:09,449 --> 00:13:10,439
Hmm.

165
00:13:11,201 --> 00:13:14,160
You're not much to begin
with, but I'll do my best.

166
00:13:16,122 --> 00:13:19,706
I see that we have come here
with a slight misunderstanding,

167
00:13:19,793 --> 00:13:22,536
and we'll correct that,
too, won't we, huh?

168
00:13:23,296 --> 00:13:27,336
And the first thing to do is to
forget everything you ever knew.

169
00:13:27,425 --> 00:13:30,088
Everything you ever learned,
forget! See?

170
00:13:31,012 --> 00:13:34,426
Forget what you've been and what
you think you're going to be.

171
00:13:34,557 --> 00:13:37,425
You're going to be soldiers,
and that's all!

172
00:13:37,936 --> 00:13:41,395
I'll take the mother's milk out of you.
I'll make you hard-boiled.

173
00:13:41,481 --> 00:13:44,440
I'll make soldiers
out of you or kill you!

174
00:13:45,151 --> 00:13:48,235
Now, salute!

175
00:13:52,992 --> 00:13:55,325
Attention!

176
00:14:00,875 --> 00:14:04,039
Detachment, lie down!

177
00:14:04,128 --> 00:14:05,539
Down!

178
00:14:13,930 --> 00:14:15,796
Head down!

179
00:14:15,890 --> 00:14:17,347
Keep your head down, Bäumer!

180
00:14:20,645 --> 00:14:23,228
Detachment, get up!

181
00:14:25,275 --> 00:14:26,686
Advance!

182
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:37,492
Now, sing!

183
00:14:46,004 --> 00:14:48,496
Do you call that singing?

184
00:14:48,590 --> 00:14:50,877
Detachment, halt!

185
00:14:54,888 --> 00:14:58,052
So, we have no spirit, huh?

186
00:14:58,766 --> 00:15:00,678
We are in no mood
for recreation.

187
00:15:00,768 --> 00:15:02,634
Work is what we want. Good!

188
00:15:03,313 --> 00:15:05,600
Then we'll go back to work.

189
00:15:10,778 --> 00:15:14,192
Detachment, lie down!

190
00:15:15,575 --> 00:15:17,407
Keep your head down.

191
00:15:20,413 --> 00:15:22,200
Now, sing!

192
00:15:53,071 --> 00:15:54,903
Men, halt!

193
00:15:55,448 --> 00:15:57,155
Order, arms!

194
00:15:58,952 --> 00:16:01,820
Inspection at 3:00. Dismissed!

195
00:16:07,794 --> 00:16:11,378
Oh, that swine! That means
we get no time off.

196
00:16:11,464 --> 00:16:14,332
It will take four hours
to get ready for inspection.

197
00:16:14,634 --> 00:16:16,170
I'd like to know
what's in his mind.

198
00:16:16,260 --> 00:16:17,296
He hasn't got any!

199
00:16:17,387 --> 00:16:19,379
I'm gonna cut him open
sometime and find out.

200
00:16:19,472 --> 00:16:21,634
He's too thick-skinned.
He won't cut.

201
00:16:22,100 --> 00:16:24,968
This is the fourth time he's made
me disappoint that poor girl.

202
00:16:28,022 --> 00:16:29,638
Arms!

203
00:16:29,732 --> 00:16:31,724
Order, arms!

204
00:16:32,193 --> 00:16:34,059
Left shoulder, arms!

205
00:16:35,071 --> 00:16:37,063
Squad, right.
To the right, march!

206
00:16:37,156 --> 00:16:40,490
Left, left, left, left.

207
00:16:46,457 --> 00:16:49,245
Column, left, march!

208
00:16:49,419 --> 00:16:50,705
Left, hut...

209
00:16:52,088 --> 00:16:54,125
Squad, left march!

210
00:16:56,759 --> 00:16:59,422
Forward, march! Left.

211
00:17:01,764 --> 00:17:04,723
Detachment, halt!

212
00:17:05,435 --> 00:17:07,301
Present arms!

213
00:17:10,148 --> 00:17:11,730
Himmelstoss.

214
00:17:14,444 --> 00:17:17,027
Excellent work. They're
going up front tomorrow.

215
00:17:17,113 --> 00:17:19,275
I recommend leave till midnight.

216
00:17:19,365 --> 00:17:20,731
Very good, sir.

217
00:17:23,077 --> 00:17:24,864
Left shoulders, arms!

218
00:17:24,954 --> 00:17:30,120
Forward march. Left,
left, straight ahead!

219
00:17:30,209 --> 00:17:31,620
Now, left.

220
00:17:35,798 --> 00:17:36,914
We're clear.

221
00:17:44,557 --> 00:17:47,391
Left, left, left.

222
00:17:47,477 --> 00:17:50,766
Detachment, lie down!

223
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,306
Crawl forward!

224
00:17:59,655 --> 00:18:03,069
He spoiled our leave. I'll
never forgive him for that.

225
00:18:03,159 --> 00:18:04,946
The rat!

226
00:18:05,036 --> 00:18:07,244
Leave till midnight.

227
00:18:07,330 --> 00:18:09,947
It'll take till midnight
to dry our clothes.

228
00:18:11,292 --> 00:18:12,658
There goes the filthy ape now.

229
00:18:14,504 --> 00:18:16,996
While we slave over this mud, he
goes off to have a few drinks.

230
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,753
Someday I'm going to take
one smack at him, just one.

231
00:18:20,843 --> 00:18:24,757
Me, too. That's gonna be my
life's work from now on.

232
00:18:24,847 --> 00:18:27,931
Why only one?
I'm gonna take several.

233
00:18:28,017 --> 00:18:31,351
I might even kick him when he's down.
I feel mean.

234
00:18:32,772 --> 00:18:34,263
What are you doing?

235
00:18:34,357 --> 00:18:35,689
You're not going
to desert, are you?

236
00:18:35,775 --> 00:18:36,982
What?

237
00:18:43,699 --> 00:18:46,442
Listen. I've got an idea.

238
00:18:57,630 --> 00:18:59,963
Crawl forward. Lie down.

239
00:19:10,852 --> 00:19:13,014
Lie down. Crawl forward.

240
00:19:15,731 --> 00:19:17,188
What?

241
00:19:38,379 --> 00:19:39,665
Here comes an officer.

242
00:19:42,049 --> 00:19:43,711
Get him out of here.

243
00:20:57,124 --> 00:20:58,410
Cover!

244
00:21:19,522 --> 00:21:21,434
Paul, are you all right?

245
00:21:21,524 --> 00:21:22,480
You all right?

246
00:21:22,566 --> 00:21:24,432
Behn! Behn!

247
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,273
Behn! Come on!

248
00:21:30,366 --> 00:21:33,609
Behn, come on. You fool, Behn.

249
00:21:33,703 --> 00:21:36,195
Get up! Come on.

250
00:22:00,896 --> 00:22:02,888
Sounds like more
replacements coming in.

251
00:22:02,982 --> 00:22:06,066
Yeah. Tjaden must have
gone home for that wood.

252
00:22:13,326 --> 00:22:16,819
Here's some more,
fresh from the turnip patch.

253
00:22:16,996 --> 00:22:19,158
I suppose this is where we bunk.

254
00:22:40,936 --> 00:22:43,679
That's me, "I. Westhus,"

255
00:22:43,773 --> 00:22:45,389
and this is where he lives.

256
00:22:45,983 --> 00:22:47,064
I didn't know.

257
00:22:47,443 --> 00:22:48,684
Well, you know now.

258
00:22:49,528 --> 00:22:51,064
Yes. Yes, of course.

259
00:22:58,079 --> 00:22:59,866
It's all right.

260
00:22:59,955 --> 00:23:01,287
Here's a bunk, Paul.

261
00:23:08,089 --> 00:23:09,045
When did we eat last?

262
00:23:09,131 --> 00:23:10,247
Don't remind me.

263
00:23:10,341 --> 00:23:11,923
I was fine until you spoke.

264
00:23:12,009 --> 00:23:13,375
Where are we, anyway?

265
00:23:13,469 --> 00:23:15,882
I don't know. The name on the
railroad station's been shot off.

266
00:23:15,971 --> 00:23:17,883
Well, there must be
something to eat somewhere.

267
00:23:17,973 --> 00:23:19,714
I'll tell you what I'll do.

268
00:23:19,809 --> 00:23:21,675
I'll ask those fellows.

269
00:23:29,735 --> 00:23:33,149
Sorry to disturb you,
Mr. Westhus.

270
00:23:33,322 --> 00:23:37,566
Oh, meet Detering.
A better farmer never lived.

271
00:23:38,077 --> 00:23:39,113
And Mr. Tjaden.

272
00:23:39,203 --> 00:23:40,239
Sit down.

273
00:23:41,330 --> 00:23:43,663
You see, we haven't
eaten since breakfast.

274
00:23:43,749 --> 00:23:45,661
We thought maybe you could tell
us what we ought to do about it.

275
00:23:45,751 --> 00:23:47,663
Eat without further delay.

276
00:23:50,881 --> 00:23:52,838
Well, what's funny about that?

277
00:23:53,509 --> 00:23:56,297
This is a bad town to bring
an appetite to, soldier.

278
00:23:56,387 --> 00:23:57,719
We've been here
since yesterday morning

279
00:23:57,805 --> 00:24:00,218
and we've been living on
baled hay and razor blades.

280
00:24:00,558 --> 00:24:03,926
We're willing to buy our food.
Where's the canteen?

281
00:24:05,354 --> 00:24:06,890
The only canteen
in these regions

282
00:24:06,981 --> 00:24:08,517
is out looking for supplies.

283
00:24:08,607 --> 00:24:09,973
Ever hear of Katczinsky?

284
00:24:10,067 --> 00:24:11,183
Who?

285
00:24:11,360 --> 00:24:14,068
Katczinsky. He's uncanny.

286
00:24:14,155 --> 00:24:17,774
If there's any food within 25 miles,
he'll be the one to get it.

287
00:24:24,039 --> 00:24:25,530
Hey!

288
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,592
Whoa, whoa, whoa.

289
00:24:55,779 --> 00:24:57,645
Whoa, whoa, whoa.

290
00:25:01,327 --> 00:25:02,738
Attention!

291
00:25:08,250 --> 00:25:09,240
What is this?

292
00:25:10,085 --> 00:25:12,668
Volunteers for
the future general staff.

293
00:25:15,841 --> 00:25:18,959
Sometime I'm gonna take
one of you volunteers apart

294
00:25:19,053 --> 00:25:22,672
and find out what makes you
leave school and join the Army.

295
00:25:23,682 --> 00:25:26,265
At ease.
This is no parade ground.

296
00:25:30,105 --> 00:25:31,812
- Hungry?
- Yes.

297
00:25:31,941 --> 00:25:35,355
Wait! Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
That's no invitation.

298
00:25:35,444 --> 00:25:36,525
Can you pay?

299
00:25:36,612 --> 00:25:38,695
Yeah, sure. I have some money.

300
00:25:38,781 --> 00:25:42,525
No, not money. That's
just pieces of paper.

301
00:25:43,285 --> 00:25:45,151
Have you got any
cigarettes, cigars,

302
00:25:45,287 --> 00:25:46,823
or soap, cognac...

303
00:25:46,914 --> 00:25:47,950
Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

304
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:49,781
- Chewing tobacco?
- Yeah, yeah.

305
00:25:49,875 --> 00:25:50,911
- Hey, Kat!
- Yeah?

306
00:25:51,001 --> 00:25:53,459
Are you crazy? There ain't
enough here for us.

307
00:25:54,463 --> 00:25:56,420
I wish you three
would get bumped off.

308
00:25:56,507 --> 00:25:58,794
I'm tired of feeding
you for nothing.

309
00:25:58,926 --> 00:26:00,667
Bring everything you've got.

310
00:26:03,556 --> 00:26:04,546
I'm so hungry...

311
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:05,721
I'd be glad to give you...

312
00:26:05,808 --> 00:26:06,969
Come on!

313
00:26:07,059 --> 00:26:08,891
Is this enough, sir?

314
00:26:23,742 --> 00:26:25,153
- Kat!
- Hmm?

315
00:26:25,244 --> 00:26:26,485
You've got the
wiring detail tonight.

316
00:26:26,579 --> 00:26:27,569
Where?

317
00:26:27,663 --> 00:26:28,904
Past the graveyard.

318
00:26:28,998 --> 00:26:30,159
With this bunch?

319
00:26:30,249 --> 00:26:33,117
It's quiet tonight. You can
teach them a couple of things.

320
00:26:33,210 --> 00:26:34,951
Thanks. I'd rather do it alone.

321
00:26:35,045 --> 00:26:37,412
These babes get
killed off too fast.

322
00:26:37,506 --> 00:26:38,963
Well, the lorry's waiting.

323
00:26:39,049 --> 00:26:40,915
Last night I was
too hungry to sleep

324
00:26:41,010 --> 00:26:42,922
and tonight, when I get the
wrinkles out of my gut,

325
00:26:43,012 --> 00:26:44,674
they think up wiring duty.

326
00:26:44,763 --> 00:26:47,506
Well, here's
your chance, heroes.

327
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:49,637
For the fatherland!

328
00:26:49,727 --> 00:26:52,561
Come on, get your stuff
and let's get out of here.

329
00:27:14,501 --> 00:27:15,912
Is that any way to drive?

330
00:27:16,003 --> 00:27:17,995
Let him drive any way he wants.

331
00:27:18,088 --> 00:27:21,547
Suppose he breaks your arm.
You get sent home, don't you?

332
00:27:21,634 --> 00:27:24,377
A lot better than
having a hole in your guts.

333
00:27:40,152 --> 00:27:43,145
If there's any of you left, I'll
pick you up in the morning.

334
00:27:43,238 --> 00:27:46,026
Well, if that ride you gave us
didn't kill us, nothing will.

335
00:27:46,116 --> 00:27:49,405
And be on time. I don't
want to miss my breakfast.

336
00:28:07,596 --> 00:28:08,586
Yeah?

337
00:28:08,972 --> 00:28:11,305
You better wait
for your army, Papa.

338
00:28:13,143 --> 00:28:16,181
Here, here.
Don't be so backward.

339
00:28:16,689 --> 00:28:20,774
Listen, children. All we got to
do is to string a little wire.

340
00:28:20,859 --> 00:28:24,352
We pick it up at the dump and
carry it to where we need it.

341
00:28:24,863 --> 00:28:26,980
Now, you're gonna
see some shellfire,

342
00:28:27,074 --> 00:28:29,157
and you're gonna be scared, see?

343
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,202
It's all right, boy. Get up.

344
00:28:43,132 --> 00:28:45,249
Here. Never mind.

345
00:28:45,342 --> 00:28:49,211
It's happened to better men than
you, and it's happened to me.

346
00:28:49,972 --> 00:28:53,807
When we come back, I'll get you
all some nice clean underwear.

347
00:28:57,646 --> 00:29:00,263
That kind of shell you don't
have to pay much attention to.

348
00:29:00,357 --> 00:29:02,519
Those big fellows
just make a lot of noise

349
00:29:02,609 --> 00:29:05,317
and land about five
miles behind the line.

350
00:29:06,822 --> 00:29:10,406
The things we've got to watch
out for are the light ones.

351
00:29:10,492 --> 00:29:12,324
They don't give you
much warning.

352
00:29:12,411 --> 00:29:16,121
They go "waah zing."

353
00:29:16,206 --> 00:29:19,040
And when you hear that, down!

354
00:29:20,711 --> 00:29:22,703
Mother Earth.

355
00:29:23,255 --> 00:29:25,588
Press yourselves down upon her.

356
00:29:26,175 --> 00:29:28,758
Bury yourselves deep into her.

357
00:29:31,013 --> 00:29:32,675
Just keep your eyes on me.

358
00:29:32,765 --> 00:29:35,257
When you see me flop, you flop.

359
00:29:35,350 --> 00:29:38,184
Only, try to beat me to it.

360
00:30:32,407 --> 00:30:33,693
Now, listen.

361
00:30:34,743 --> 00:30:36,575
I'll show you how it's done.

362
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:41,244
Give me a couple of those.
That's to kill the noise.

363
00:30:41,375 --> 00:30:42,707
Tjaden.

364
00:31:18,161 --> 00:31:19,402
See that?

365
00:31:19,788 --> 00:31:20,744
What's that mean?

366
00:31:20,831 --> 00:31:22,072
Bombardment.

367
00:31:57,784 --> 00:31:59,241
My eyes!

368
00:32:01,371 --> 00:32:02,578
I'm blind!

369
00:32:02,664 --> 00:32:04,496
I can't see! God!

370
00:32:04,583 --> 00:32:06,745
My eyes! I can't see!

371
00:32:09,338 --> 00:32:10,419
Oh, God!

372
00:32:12,549 --> 00:32:15,667
- It's Behn! It's Behn!
- I can't see!

373
00:32:25,479 --> 00:32:27,766
- I'll go get him...
- You'll get killed!

374
00:32:28,023 --> 00:32:29,605
- Leave him.
- What?

375
00:32:30,943 --> 00:32:32,559
- Let me...
- Lay down and stay there!

376
00:32:32,653 --> 00:32:33,643
You'll get your head shot off.

377
00:32:43,747 --> 00:32:44,828
He's dead.

378
00:32:46,041 --> 00:32:47,122
He's dead.

379
00:32:47,209 --> 00:32:48,325
Why did you risk your
life bringing him in?

380
00:32:48,418 --> 00:32:49,909
But it's Behn.

381
00:32:51,046 --> 00:32:52,036
My friend.

382
00:32:52,130 --> 00:32:54,338
It's a corpse,
no matter who it is.

383
00:32:57,469 --> 00:32:59,882
Now, don't any of you
ever do that again.

384
00:33:00,097 --> 00:33:01,838
Put him over there.

385
00:33:25,580 --> 00:33:26,661
Mind the wire.

386
00:33:26,748 --> 00:33:28,080
Mind the wire.

387
00:33:31,169 --> 00:33:34,287
Mind the wire.

388
00:33:37,759 --> 00:33:40,843
Mind the wire.

389
00:33:40,929 --> 00:33:42,591
All right, come on.

390
00:33:47,436 --> 00:33:50,600
All right, come on. Get your
packs and fall in. Hurry up.

391
00:33:51,106 --> 00:33:54,019
Come on. Hurry up. Come on.
Make it snappy.

392
00:33:54,109 --> 00:33:55,941
Get your packs and fall in.

393
00:33:57,279 --> 00:33:59,521
Kat, what are we doing?
What's happening?

394
00:33:59,614 --> 00:34:01,105
You heard him. Orders to march.

395
00:34:01,616 --> 00:34:02,857
But where to, for the love of...

396
00:34:02,951 --> 00:34:04,362
Another party.

397
00:34:05,787 --> 00:34:08,825
And this one is gonna
last a long time.

398
00:34:13,587 --> 00:34:14,828
Come on.

399
00:34:16,131 --> 00:34:17,588
Here we go.

400
00:34:20,594 --> 00:34:22,631
Company, attention!

401
00:34:23,513 --> 00:34:25,425
Shoulder, arms!

402
00:34:27,684 --> 00:34:29,801
March right, march!

403
00:34:53,502 --> 00:34:54,743
Take your hands off that!

404
00:34:54,836 --> 00:34:55,826
Queen takes it!

405
00:34:55,921 --> 00:34:57,833
Well, if you think
that's a queen, look again.

406
00:34:58,256 --> 00:34:59,963
It's a jack.

407
00:35:00,801 --> 00:35:01,757
Yeah.

408
00:35:01,843 --> 00:35:04,051
Honest, these cards
all look alike.

409
00:35:06,139 --> 00:35:08,256
It's too noisy! I can't play.

410
00:35:09,017 --> 00:35:10,883
- I suppose your delicate nerves...
- Get up.

411
00:35:10,977 --> 00:35:12,434
...can't stand it.

412
00:35:18,485 --> 00:35:21,819
That's Oscar. The son of a...

413
00:35:23,824 --> 00:35:25,315
Look at that!

414
00:35:26,618 --> 00:35:29,452
Don't be so snooty. You may
wish you had this back.

415
00:35:29,788 --> 00:35:31,575
About two more days of this

416
00:35:32,833 --> 00:35:34,620
and this rat-bitten end
of a piece of bread's

417
00:35:34,709 --> 00:35:37,577
gonna taste just like
a hunk of fruitcake.

418
00:35:40,006 --> 00:35:42,589
It wouldn't... It wouldn't
last two more days, would it?

419
00:35:42,676 --> 00:35:45,293
Didn't I tell you this
was gonna be a bad one?

420
00:35:45,804 --> 00:35:47,966
I don't mind the days so much.

421
00:35:48,056 --> 00:35:50,389
It's keeping up
all night that's...

422
00:35:51,268 --> 00:35:53,430
Two more days makes a week, kid.

423
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:55,682
Then you can say
you've been under fire.

424
00:35:55,772 --> 00:35:57,559
You're not scared, are you?

425
00:35:58,066 --> 00:36:00,308
No. I was just asking,
that's all.

426
00:36:06,074 --> 00:36:07,736
Want to play some more?

427
00:36:07,826 --> 00:36:08,862
Do you?

428
00:36:12,706 --> 00:36:13,787
Sure.

429
00:36:13,915 --> 00:36:15,031
All right. My deal.

430
00:36:17,419 --> 00:36:20,378
You better get your boot
back before Oscar eats that.

431
00:36:22,299 --> 00:36:24,086
The kid's all right.

432
00:36:29,890 --> 00:36:31,222
Behn.

433
00:36:32,767 --> 00:36:33,883
Behn.

434
00:36:37,063 --> 00:36:39,555
Yeah, yeah. Let him
sleep. He's dreaming. - Behn.

435
00:36:40,567 --> 00:36:43,731
Oh, God.
Can't you see it's Behn?

436
00:36:43,820 --> 00:36:46,233
He didn't want to come to war.

437
00:36:46,907 --> 00:36:49,524
No, no.

438
00:36:49,993 --> 00:36:51,359
It isn't Behn.

439
00:36:52,579 --> 00:36:54,195
It isn't Behn!

440
00:36:55,415 --> 00:36:58,453
It's Kemmerick! It's me!

441
00:36:58,543 --> 00:37:01,331
Shut up, will you? It's bad
enough in here as it is.

442
00:37:01,421 --> 00:37:02,582
Every...

443
00:37:03,006 --> 00:37:04,542
Everything's all right, Franz.

444
00:37:04,633 --> 00:37:05,794
You're dreaming.

445
00:37:06,593 --> 00:37:08,004
I see something.

446
00:37:08,094 --> 00:37:09,460
You're just dreaming, I guess.

447
00:37:14,935 --> 00:37:16,426
- Attention!
- At ease.

448
00:37:17,938 --> 00:37:19,679
The barrage is getting worse.

449
00:37:22,609 --> 00:37:24,692
Men in two more dugouts, gone.

450
00:37:29,741 --> 00:37:33,951
However, we'll do our best to get
some food up here by evening.

451
00:37:56,059 --> 00:37:57,925
Stop!

452
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:09,646
Let me out.

453
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:13,281
What did you do that for?

454
00:38:13,368 --> 00:38:15,325
Shut up! Grab him.

455
00:38:16,246 --> 00:38:17,828
- No.
- Now hold him.

456
00:38:41,229 --> 00:38:42,936
You all right now?

457
00:38:43,398 --> 00:38:44,514
I think so.

458
00:38:48,737 --> 00:38:50,774
I couldn't hold out much longer.

459
00:39:11,301 --> 00:39:12,462
Let me out!

460
00:39:13,928 --> 00:39:15,669
It's going to kill me!

461
00:39:17,223 --> 00:39:18,634
Very good.

462
00:39:25,106 --> 00:39:27,689
Oh, my God, it's Franz!
This is terrible!

463
00:39:33,281 --> 00:39:34,692
No, don't. He's been
hit in the stomach.

464
00:39:34,783 --> 00:39:36,149
He can't have anything to drink.

465
00:39:36,284 --> 00:39:37,775
Get a stretcher.

466
00:39:40,705 --> 00:39:42,788
Where'd they get you, Kemmerick?

467
00:39:50,298 --> 00:39:51,288
Here it is, sir.

468
00:39:51,383 --> 00:39:52,624
Take his head.

469
00:39:56,638 --> 00:39:58,470
All right. Take him out.

470
00:40:02,310 --> 00:40:03,551
Is it serious, sir?

471
00:40:03,645 --> 00:40:04,806
I'm not sure.

472
00:40:06,314 --> 00:40:07,930
Tell the others he's all right.

473
00:40:08,024 --> 00:40:09,014
Yes, sir.

474
00:40:28,002 --> 00:40:30,745
If we're going to fight,
why don't we fight?

475
00:40:30,839 --> 00:40:32,546
Why don't we go over?

476
00:40:36,010 --> 00:40:38,172
You could go crazy staying here.

477
00:40:41,349 --> 00:40:43,136
Let's do something!

478
00:40:43,518 --> 00:40:44,599
Let's go after them!

479
00:40:44,686 --> 00:40:45,847
Sit down!

480
00:40:49,691 --> 00:40:51,148
If that cook of
ours had any guts,

481
00:40:51,234 --> 00:40:53,567
he'd try to bring
something through.

482
00:40:54,863 --> 00:40:57,981
He's so far behind the lines
he can't hear the shooting!

483
00:40:58,533 --> 00:41:00,820
Here's Kat. Get anything?

484
00:41:00,910 --> 00:41:02,321
Any luck?

485
00:41:02,412 --> 00:41:03,823
We'll have to split
this up among us.

486
00:41:03,913 --> 00:41:05,449
Something to eat!

487
00:41:13,214 --> 00:41:14,500
We need butter, too.

488
00:41:14,591 --> 00:41:18,551
Yes. And dessert. And a
feather bed to sleep on.

489
00:41:28,396 --> 00:41:29,637
- Rats!
- Rats!

490
00:41:29,731 --> 00:41:31,893
Rats. Rats.

491
00:41:34,277 --> 00:41:35,734
Get out of the way!

492
00:41:52,545 --> 00:41:53,831
That's enough.

493
00:41:53,922 --> 00:41:55,288
That's enough, boys.

494
00:42:14,108 --> 00:42:15,565
What's that?

495
00:42:17,070 --> 00:42:18,026
Come on!

496
00:42:18,112 --> 00:42:19,774
Come on! Grab your rifles!

497
00:42:22,116 --> 00:42:23,402
Come on!

498
00:42:23,785 --> 00:42:24,901
Come along.

499
00:42:25,078 --> 00:42:26,114
Come on, everybody.

500
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:28,366
Here they come.

501
00:42:28,456 --> 00:42:29,992
Get your grenades here.

502
00:42:30,083 --> 00:42:31,119
In this space.

503
00:42:31,209 --> 00:42:33,292
Hurry up. This is an attack.
Come on, hurry up.

504
00:44:25,907 --> 00:44:27,569
Come on!

505
00:46:30,114 --> 00:46:32,197
Aim. Fire.

506
00:46:48,841 --> 00:46:50,753
Here you go, troops.

507
00:48:01,372 --> 00:48:04,331
Let's go! Let's go! Let's move!

508
00:49:04,602 --> 00:49:08,642
We can't hold this position, men.
Back to your own lines!

509
00:49:09,732 --> 00:49:11,644
We've got
a lift from cavalry.

510
00:49:11,859 --> 00:49:13,100
Now, then.

511
00:50:31,605 --> 00:50:33,517
- Fill it up.
- And hurry up.

512
00:50:33,607 --> 00:50:34,814
I've got other things to do.

513
00:50:34,900 --> 00:50:36,983
I've been waiting
for this for three weeks.

514
00:50:37,069 --> 00:50:39,277
When they all get here.

515
00:50:41,615 --> 00:50:43,151
What do you want?

516
00:50:43,242 --> 00:50:45,780
Beans, you homely-looking
son of a frog's leg.

517
00:50:45,870 --> 00:50:47,611
What do you think I want?

518
00:50:48,330 --> 00:50:49,366
We're hungry.

519
00:50:53,294 --> 00:50:56,378
Shut up! I'll feed you
when you're all here.

520
00:50:56,464 --> 00:50:57,955
We're all here now.

521
00:50:58,049 --> 00:51:00,666
Only half the company's here.
Get the rest.

522
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:01,876
Wake 'em up.

523
00:51:01,969 --> 00:51:03,335
Yeah.

524
00:51:03,429 --> 00:51:06,797
I wish I could wake 'em up.
There's 80 of us left.

525
00:51:06,891 --> 00:51:10,430
The rest is in dressing
stations or pushing up daisies.

526
00:51:10,561 --> 00:51:14,271
Eighty? And I cooked for 150!

527
00:51:14,857 --> 00:51:18,146
All right. We'll have enough for once.
Come on, dish out!

528
00:51:18,903 --> 00:51:23,147
You mean, you've cooked beans for
150, and you've got bread for 150,

529
00:51:23,240 --> 00:51:26,904
and sausage for 150,
and tobacco for 150?

530
00:51:26,994 --> 00:51:30,578
Everything! It's all wrong.
I should have been notified.

531
00:51:30,664 --> 00:51:34,123
What a feast!
Everyone gets two issues.

532
00:51:34,877 --> 00:51:36,869
Hey, get back in line!
Get back in line!

533
00:51:36,962 --> 00:51:39,500
Oh, no! That won't do.

534
00:51:39,632 --> 00:51:42,921
I can't give 80 men
what's meant for 150.

535
00:51:44,804 --> 00:51:46,340
Listen.

536
00:51:46,931 --> 00:51:50,299
You drew rations for the
2nd Company, didn't you?

537
00:51:50,392 --> 00:51:51,633
Yeah.

538
00:51:51,977 --> 00:51:54,344
All right.
We're the 2nd Company.

539
00:51:55,731 --> 00:51:57,222
I've got my orders.

540
00:51:57,316 --> 00:51:58,432
Kat's right.

541
00:51:58,526 --> 00:52:00,062
We're the 2nd Company.

542
00:52:00,152 --> 00:52:01,939
And if only half of us get
back, that's our good luck.

543
00:52:02,029 --> 00:52:03,110
Come on. Dish it out.

544
00:52:03,197 --> 00:52:04,278
Come on!

545
00:52:04,573 --> 00:52:05,563
No!

546
00:52:05,658 --> 00:52:07,194
Hey!

547
00:52:07,785 --> 00:52:11,449
You're the yellowest baboon
that ever drew a cook wagon

548
00:52:11,539 --> 00:52:13,747
and you're scared it shows.

549
00:52:13,833 --> 00:52:16,951
All we want to hear out of
you is one more little yip

550
00:52:17,044 --> 00:52:19,536
and we'll cut you up
and eat you raw.

551
00:52:19,713 --> 00:52:22,626
Why, you keep your kitchen
so far back of the lines

552
00:52:22,716 --> 00:52:26,209
we never get anything to eat until
it's cold and we're asleep!

553
00:52:26,303 --> 00:52:31,014
Now, you low-down rat, get out or
we wreck the joint, so help us.

554
00:52:31,642 --> 00:52:33,554
Come on! Give us our food.

555
00:52:34,895 --> 00:52:36,102
Attention!

556
00:52:42,820 --> 00:52:44,482
At ease.

557
00:52:45,281 --> 00:52:46,522
What's going on here?

558
00:52:46,615 --> 00:52:50,234
He's cooked for 150, sir, and
he only wants to give us half.

559
00:52:54,123 --> 00:52:55,159
Looks pretty good.

560
00:52:55,249 --> 00:52:56,205
Yes, sir.

561
00:52:56,292 --> 00:52:58,955
Serve the whole issue!
The men can use it.

562
00:52:59,044 --> 00:53:00,751
Yes, sir.

563
00:53:00,838 --> 00:53:02,170
And bring me a plate, too.

564
00:53:02,256 --> 00:53:03,417
Yes, sir.

565
00:53:05,009 --> 00:53:07,592
All right. Take it all.
Take everything.

566
00:53:07,678 --> 00:53:10,045
Give 'em honey.
Give 'em what they want.

567
00:53:11,348 --> 00:53:13,931
Fill it up! Fill it up!
Fill it up!

568
00:53:17,188 --> 00:53:18,599
Anybody else?

569
00:53:18,689 --> 00:53:20,931
All I want is to get going.

570
00:53:53,307 --> 00:53:54,388
Don't mind me.

571
00:53:54,475 --> 00:53:56,888
Oh, that's all right.
Don't mention it.

572
00:54:01,523 --> 00:54:02,934
You know,

573
00:54:04,276 --> 00:54:06,563
I could do with some more beans.

574
00:54:06,654 --> 00:54:09,146
Go help yourself.
There's more over there.

575
00:54:14,161 --> 00:54:15,743
It's too far.

576
00:54:19,124 --> 00:54:21,992
I wonder, when are we
going back to the front?

577
00:54:22,544 --> 00:54:23,534
Tomorrow.

578
00:54:27,466 --> 00:54:30,755
It's enough to take away
a man's appetite.

579
00:54:31,345 --> 00:54:33,553
You know, if they're gonna
march us in again tomorrow,

580
00:54:33,639 --> 00:54:35,130
we ought to go see
how Kemmerick is.

581
00:54:35,224 --> 00:54:36,681
- That's a good idea.
- Let's do that.

582
00:54:36,767 --> 00:54:38,008
How far is the dressing station?

583
00:54:38,102 --> 00:54:39,559
About two miles.

584
00:54:40,229 --> 00:54:41,936
We could take his things to him.

585
00:54:42,022 --> 00:54:43,513
Good.

586
00:54:43,607 --> 00:54:47,271
It seemed rotten to think of a
thing like that happening to him,

587
00:54:47,361 --> 00:54:49,227
a nice fellow like Kemmerick.

588
00:54:49,321 --> 00:54:52,359
The French certainly deserve to be
punished for starting this war.

589
00:54:52,449 --> 00:54:54,532
Everybody says
it's somebody else.

590
00:54:55,119 --> 00:54:57,702
Well, how do they start a war?

591
00:54:57,788 --> 00:55:00,246
Well, one country
offends another.

592
00:55:00,708 --> 00:55:03,075
How could one country
offend another?

593
00:55:03,168 --> 00:55:05,285
You mean, there's a
mountain over in Germany

594
00:55:05,379 --> 00:55:07,291
gets mad at a field
over in France?

595
00:55:08,549 --> 00:55:11,667
Well, stupid, one
people offends another.

596
00:55:12,386 --> 00:55:15,299
Oh, if that's it,
I shouldn't be here at all.

597
00:55:15,389 --> 00:55:16,755
I don't feel offended.

598
00:55:18,392 --> 00:55:21,226
It don't apply
to tramps like you.

599
00:55:21,645 --> 00:55:23,682
Good. Then I can be
going home right away.

600
00:55:23,772 --> 00:55:24,762
You just try it.

601
00:55:24,857 --> 00:55:26,769
Yeah. You want to get shot?

602
00:55:28,235 --> 00:55:29,476
The Kaiser and me...

603
00:55:32,406 --> 00:55:36,320
Me and the Kaiser felt
just alike about this war.

604
00:55:36,410 --> 00:55:40,074
We didn't either of us want
any war, so I'm going home.

605
00:55:40,164 --> 00:55:41,325
He's there already.

606
00:55:41,415 --> 00:55:44,749
Somebody must have wanted it.
Maybe it was the English.

607
00:55:45,169 --> 00:55:48,037
No, I don't want to
shoot any Englishmen.

608
00:55:48,130 --> 00:55:50,838
I never saw one
till I came up here.

609
00:55:50,924 --> 00:55:53,086
And I suppose most of
them never saw a German

610
00:55:53,177 --> 00:55:54,918
till they came up here.

611
00:55:55,012 --> 00:55:57,675
No, I'm sure they
weren't asked about it.

612
00:55:57,765 --> 00:55:58,801
No.

613
00:55:59,475 --> 00:56:03,014
Well, it must be doing
somebody some good.

614
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:04,761
Not me and the Kaiser.

615
00:56:04,855 --> 00:56:07,438
I think maybe
the Kaiser wanted a war.

616
00:56:08,442 --> 00:56:10,104
You leave us out of this.

617
00:56:12,780 --> 00:56:16,694
I don't see that. The Kaiser's
got everything he needs.

618
00:56:17,034 --> 00:56:18,900
Well, he never had a war before.

619
00:56:18,994 --> 00:56:22,658
Every full-grown emperor needs
one war to make him famous.

620
00:56:22,790 --> 00:56:23,871
Why, that's history.

621
00:56:23,957 --> 00:56:25,664
Yeah, generals, too.
They need war.

622
00:56:25,793 --> 00:56:28,001
- And manufacturers. They get rich.
- Hmm.

623
00:56:28,087 --> 00:56:31,046
I think it's more
a kind of fever.

624
00:56:31,131 --> 00:56:35,967
Nobody wants it in particular and
then, all at once, here it is.

625
00:56:36,387 --> 00:56:40,802
We didn't want it. The English didn't
want it. And here we are fighting.

626
00:56:41,225 --> 00:56:43,968
I'll tell you how
it should all be done.

627
00:56:45,896 --> 00:56:48,263
Whenever there's
a big war coming on,

628
00:56:48,357 --> 00:56:50,895
you should rope off
a big field...

629
00:56:50,984 --> 00:56:52,065
And sell tickets.

630
00:56:52,152 --> 00:56:53,984
Yeah. And...

631
00:56:56,365 --> 00:56:57,981
And on the big day

632
00:56:58,075 --> 00:56:59,816
you should take all the kings

633
00:56:59,910 --> 00:57:02,869
and their cabinets
and their generals,

634
00:57:02,955 --> 00:57:05,163
put them in the center
dressed in their underpants

635
00:57:05,249 --> 00:57:07,741
and let them
fight it out with clubs.

636
00:57:07,835 --> 00:57:09,576
The best country wins.

637
00:57:11,713 --> 00:57:15,127
Well, now that Kat's settled
everything, let's go see Kemmerick.

638
00:57:15,217 --> 00:57:16,298
Might cheer him up.

639
00:57:16,385 --> 00:57:17,626
Something interesting
might happen on the way.

640
00:57:17,719 --> 00:57:21,804
Boys, me and the Kaiser want you
back in time to march tomorrow.

641
00:57:21,890 --> 00:57:23,677
Don't forget.

642
00:57:23,767 --> 00:57:24,757
We'll be back.

643
00:57:24,852 --> 00:57:25,968
Give the boy my regards.

644
00:57:34,695 --> 00:57:35,776
Whoa.

645
00:57:47,374 --> 00:57:49,036
Oh, there he is.

646
00:57:50,711 --> 00:57:52,373
- Hello, Kemmerick.
- How are you?

647
00:57:52,463 --> 00:57:53,749
How's it going?

648
00:57:53,839 --> 00:57:55,046
How are things going?

649
00:57:55,132 --> 00:57:56,964
Are they looking
after you all right?

650
00:57:57,050 --> 00:57:59,417
How are they treating you?
Franz?

651
00:58:00,387 --> 00:58:01,969
I'm all right.

652
00:58:03,474 --> 00:58:05,386
They're robbers here.

653
00:58:07,478 --> 00:58:08,719
Robbers.

654
00:58:11,273 --> 00:58:13,765
They stole my watch.

655
00:58:13,901 --> 00:58:16,609
I always told you nobody should
carry as good a watch as that.

656
00:58:16,737 --> 00:58:18,444
And they took it
while I was under ether.

657
00:58:18,530 --> 00:58:20,692
Franz. Franz.
You'll get it back.

658
00:58:22,075 --> 00:58:23,987
Do you feel all right?

659
00:58:25,954 --> 00:58:27,911
Just look at my hand, though.

660
00:58:27,998 --> 00:58:29,785
That's because
you lost so much blood.

661
00:58:29,875 --> 00:58:31,662
Just eat decently and
you'll get well again.

662
00:58:31,752 --> 00:58:32,742
Oh, no.

663
00:58:32,836 --> 00:58:37,251
Franz, you must eat. That's the main thing.
It looks good, too.

664
00:58:41,261 --> 00:58:44,504
I have such a terrible
pain in my foot.

665
00:58:46,475 --> 00:58:49,513
Every toe on
my right foot hurts.

666
00:58:53,857 --> 00:58:56,941
Well, how can your foot hurt
when your leg's been...

667
00:59:00,822 --> 00:59:02,609
Oh, I know what you mean!

668
00:59:03,325 --> 00:59:06,284
I know! I know now!

669
00:59:08,580 --> 00:59:10,617
They've cut my leg off.

670
00:59:12,543 --> 00:59:17,288
Why didn't they tell me?

671
00:59:17,381 --> 00:59:18,997
- Franz! Franz!
- ...they tell me.

672
00:59:19,091 --> 00:59:20,548
Now I can't walk anymore!

673
00:59:20,634 --> 00:59:24,594
Franz, you must be thankful that
you've come off with only that.

674
00:59:30,310 --> 00:59:32,973
I wanted to be a forester once.

675
00:59:34,147 --> 00:59:37,936
You can yet. They make artificial
legs that are wonderful.

676
00:59:38,819 --> 00:59:42,278
And you're through, too. You can go home.
Think of that.

677
00:59:43,240 --> 00:59:45,823
We brought your
things for you. See?

678
00:59:46,493 --> 00:59:48,450
Put them under the bed.

679
00:59:56,169 --> 00:59:58,582
That's a marvelous
pair of boots.

680
01:00:00,382 --> 01:00:02,214
Look at that leather.

681
01:00:02,301 --> 01:00:03,633
What comfort.

682
01:00:03,719 --> 01:00:05,676
I was just thinking.

683
01:00:08,849 --> 01:00:11,011
If you're not going to
be using these, Franz,

684
01:00:11,101 --> 01:00:12,808
why don't you
leave them with us?

685
01:00:15,022 --> 01:00:18,641
What good are they to you?
I can use 'em.

686
01:00:18,734 --> 01:00:21,602
My boots give me
blister after blister.

687
01:00:26,617 --> 01:00:28,734
Well, we'll be going, Franz.

688
01:00:28,827 --> 01:00:32,241
Oh, don't go. Stay just
a little while longer.

689
01:00:33,915 --> 01:00:35,326
I'll come right back.

690
01:00:35,417 --> 01:00:37,033
We'll be coming
soon again, Franz.

691
01:00:37,169 --> 01:00:39,081
- I know you'll be feeling better, Franz.
- Bye.

692
01:00:39,171 --> 01:00:40,252
Bye.

693
01:00:40,339 --> 01:00:41,455
Goodbye, Franz.

694
01:00:41,882 --> 01:00:43,794
You think he'll last
till after mess?

695
01:00:43,884 --> 01:00:44,840
You don't think...

696
01:00:44,926 --> 01:00:46,087
Done for.

697
01:00:48,972 --> 01:00:51,089
Boys, you go along.
I'll see you later.

698
01:00:51,224 --> 01:00:53,090
- Goodbye. All right, Paul.
- Goodbye, Paul.

699
01:00:56,897 --> 01:00:59,264
I'm sorry, Paul.

700
01:00:59,775 --> 01:01:03,109
I wouldn't touch a thing
of his if he could use it.

701
01:01:03,403 --> 01:01:07,488
I'd go barefoot over barbed wire
for him if it'd do him any good.

702
01:01:07,574 --> 01:01:10,817
Only why should some
orderly get those boots?

703
01:01:10,911 --> 01:01:14,075
I understand, Mueller.
We're all alike out here.

704
01:01:15,457 --> 01:01:17,449
And good boots are scarce.

705
01:01:25,634 --> 01:01:28,001
Tell the doctor to come, please.

706
01:01:35,018 --> 01:01:38,511
Doctor, the man in the next bed
would like to see you, sir.

707
01:01:38,605 --> 01:01:42,224
I've done everything I can for him.
There's no helping him.

708
01:01:42,317 --> 01:01:44,024
Poor little fellow.

709
01:01:56,081 --> 01:01:58,118
He says next time, Franz.

710
01:02:08,135 --> 01:02:10,092
Do you think I'll ever get well?

711
01:02:10,178 --> 01:02:12,090
Why, of course.

712
01:02:14,266 --> 01:02:16,383
Do you really think so?

713
01:02:16,476 --> 01:02:18,968
Sure, once you
get over the operation.

714
01:02:26,653 --> 01:02:28,485
I don't think so.

715
01:02:28,947 --> 01:02:32,987
Franz. Don't talk nonsense.
Why, you'll be as good as new.

716
01:02:33,118 --> 01:02:35,826
They fix up
worse things than that.

717
01:02:36,163 --> 01:02:38,951
Perhaps you'll go to the
convalescent home in Klosterberg

718
01:02:39,040 --> 01:02:40,997
among the villagers.

719
01:02:41,960 --> 01:02:45,579
Then you can look out of the
windows, across the field

720
01:02:45,672 --> 01:02:48,005
to the two trees on the horizon.

721
01:02:49,176 --> 01:02:52,795
The loveliest time of the year,
now, when the corn ripens.

722
01:02:54,347 --> 01:02:56,839
And you can go out
without asking anyone.

723
01:02:57,601 --> 01:03:00,264
You can even play piano
if you want to.

724
01:03:04,483 --> 01:03:08,602
Oh... Oh, but, Franz,
you must try to sleep now.

725
01:03:25,253 --> 01:03:26,539
Oh, God,

726
01:03:27,672 --> 01:03:32,212
this is Franz Kemmerick,
only 19 years old.

727
01:03:33,762 --> 01:03:35,845
He doesn't want to die.

728
01:03:36,473 --> 01:03:38,715
Please, don't let him die.

729
01:03:39,559 --> 01:03:41,141
Paul.

730
01:03:41,228 --> 01:03:43,060
- Paul.
- Yes, Franz.

731
01:03:45,190 --> 01:03:47,978
Take my boots home for Mueller.

732
01:03:48,068 --> 01:03:50,185
Oh, no, Franz, no.

733
01:03:51,112 --> 01:03:52,478
And if...

734
01:03:54,282 --> 01:03:56,740
Paul, you can find my watch,

735
01:03:58,370 --> 01:03:59,577
send it home.

736
01:03:59,663 --> 01:04:00,824
Franz!

737
01:04:04,251 --> 01:04:06,413
Doctor. Doctor!

738
01:04:07,420 --> 01:04:08,706
Doctor!

739
01:04:09,756 --> 01:04:12,248
Doctor! Where's the doctor?

740
01:04:12,467 --> 01:04:14,800
Why isn't there a doctor here?

741
01:04:15,303 --> 01:04:17,670
Doctor, come quick.
Franz Kemmerick is dying!

742
01:04:17,764 --> 01:04:19,300
- Which one is that?
- Amputated leg.

743
01:04:19,391 --> 01:04:20,848
I've amputated
a dozen legs today.

744
01:04:20,934 --> 01:04:22,175
Bed 26, sir.

745
01:04:22,269 --> 01:04:25,262
You see to it. I'm due
in the operating room.

746
01:04:25,647 --> 01:04:28,981
One operation after another
since 5:00 this morning.

747
01:04:29,067 --> 01:04:32,151
Sixteen dead today,
yours is the 17th.

748
01:04:32,237 --> 01:04:34,945
There'll probably
be 20 by tomorrow.

749
01:04:56,803 --> 01:04:59,466
You're looking good,
very good today.

750
01:05:13,987 --> 01:05:14,977
What's your hurry?

751
01:05:15,071 --> 01:05:16,562
Hey! I'll bet he
stole those boots!

752
01:05:16,656 --> 01:05:18,818
Why didn't you stop him?

753
01:05:23,455 --> 01:05:24,616
I got it, Kat.

754
01:05:24,706 --> 01:05:25,696
Huh?

755
01:05:26,166 --> 01:05:29,000
Listen, "The sum of
an arithmetic series

756
01:05:29,127 --> 01:05:33,963
"is S = A   L x N over 2."
Interesting, isn't it?

757
01:05:34,049 --> 01:05:36,257
What do you want to
learn that stuff for?

758
01:05:36,343 --> 01:05:39,836
One day you'll stop a bullet
and it'll all be wasted.

759
01:05:39,971 --> 01:05:42,133
I get a lot of fun out of it.

760
01:06:01,618 --> 01:06:03,530
My boots!

761
01:06:09,125 --> 01:06:10,616
Mueller.

762
01:06:12,253 --> 01:06:13,789
I saw him die.

763
01:06:17,801 --> 01:06:20,885
I didn't know what it
was like to die before.

764
01:06:22,555 --> 01:06:26,799
And then... Then I came
outside and it felt...

765
01:06:28,812 --> 01:06:33,807
It felt so good to be alive
that I started in to walk fast.

766
01:06:34,609 --> 01:06:37,477
I began to think of
the strangest things,

767
01:06:38,321 --> 01:06:41,655
like being out in the fields.
Things like that.

768
01:06:43,284 --> 01:06:45,651
You know, girls.

769
01:06:47,580 --> 01:06:50,072
And it felt as if there were

770
01:06:50,166 --> 01:06:53,876
something electric running
from the ground up through me.

771
01:06:53,962 --> 01:06:56,830
And I started.
And I began to run hard.

772
01:06:56,923 --> 01:06:59,586
And I passed soldiers and I
heard voices calling, but...

773
01:06:59,676 --> 01:07:01,588
And I ran and I ran.

774
01:07:02,012 --> 01:07:05,596
And I felt as if I couldn't
breathe enough air into me.

775
01:07:08,143 --> 01:07:11,102
And... And now I'm hungry.

776
01:07:15,859 --> 01:07:17,646
I don't
mind the war now.

777
01:07:17,777 --> 01:07:21,111
Be a pleasure to go to the
front in boots like these.

778
01:08:12,999 --> 01:08:14,911
It's a good
invention, just the same.

779
01:08:15,001 --> 01:08:16,242
If you crack
each separate louse,

780
01:08:16,336 --> 01:08:19,374
think of all the energy
you use up. Watch.

781
01:08:22,300 --> 01:08:23,962
Burned to death.

782
01:08:25,678 --> 01:08:27,169
How was patrol? Bad?

783
01:08:27,263 --> 01:08:30,347
Must've been terrible if they had
time to gather in the harvest.

784
01:08:30,433 --> 01:08:32,971
We passed a cherry tree and when
he saw it, he sort of went crazy.

785
01:08:33,061 --> 01:08:34,973
I could hardly drag him away.

786
01:08:35,480 --> 01:08:37,472
It was beautiful.

787
01:08:39,692 --> 01:08:42,776
I have a big orchard
with cherry trees at home.

788
01:08:44,322 --> 01:08:46,655
And when they're
in full blossom,

789
01:08:46,741 --> 01:08:49,825
from the hayloft it looks
like one single sheet.

790
01:08:50,703 --> 01:08:51,989
So white.

791
01:08:54,457 --> 01:08:55,914
Perhaps you can get leave soon.

792
01:08:56,000 --> 01:08:58,834
You may even be
sent back as a farmer.

793
01:08:59,212 --> 01:09:02,831
A woman can't run a farm alone.
That's no good, you know?

794
01:09:02,924 --> 01:09:05,132
No matter how hard she works.

795
01:09:06,511 --> 01:09:08,503
Harvest coming on again.

796
01:09:11,099 --> 01:09:12,340
What's the matter with him?

797
01:09:12,433 --> 01:09:14,049
Got a letter yesterday
from his wife.

798
01:09:14,227 --> 01:09:15,889
He wants to get
back to his farm.

799
01:09:16,020 --> 01:09:18,603
We'd all like to get back
home, it comes to that.

800
01:09:18,690 --> 01:09:21,353
I wonder what we'd do if it
were suddenly peacetime again?

801
01:09:21,442 --> 01:09:23,650
Get drunk and look for women!

802
01:09:24,195 --> 01:09:26,278
I'd go looking for a Cinderella

803
01:09:26,364 --> 01:09:28,401
that could wear
this for a garter.

804
01:09:29,159 --> 01:09:32,368
And when I'd found her, nobody
would see me for two weeks.

805
01:09:33,705 --> 01:09:36,038
I'll go back to the peat fields

806
01:09:37,083 --> 01:09:40,042
and those pleasant hours
in the beer gardens.

807
01:09:41,254 --> 01:09:44,247
And there's worse things
than cobbling, too.

808
01:09:44,799 --> 01:09:46,586
Look. My family.

809
01:09:50,221 --> 01:09:53,430
I ought to give you a kick in the
backside for starting all this.

810
01:09:53,516 --> 01:09:55,052
It's all right
for all you to talk.

811
01:09:55,143 --> 01:09:56,975
You've got something
to go back to.

812
01:09:57,061 --> 01:09:59,053
Wives, children, jobs...

813
01:10:00,106 --> 01:10:03,975
But what about us? What have
we got to go back to? School?

814
01:10:04,068 --> 01:10:06,355
Why not? You know
everything already?

815
01:10:06,446 --> 01:10:09,905
A man can't take all that rubbish
they teach you seriously

816
01:10:09,991 --> 01:10:13,450
after three years
of shells and bombs.

817
01:10:13,912 --> 01:10:16,154
You can't peel that off
as easily as a sock.

818
01:10:16,247 --> 01:10:18,330
They never taught us
anything really useful,

819
01:10:18,416 --> 01:10:20,078
like how to light
a cigarette in the wind,

820
01:10:20,168 --> 01:10:22,285
or make a fire out of wet wood,

821
01:10:22,378 --> 01:10:26,213
or bayonet a man in the belly instead
of the ribs where it gets jammed.

822
01:10:26,341 --> 01:10:28,674
What can happen
to us afterwards?

823
01:10:28,760 --> 01:10:30,968
I'll tell you. Take our class.

824
01:10:31,804 --> 01:10:34,638
Out of 20, three are officers,

825
01:10:35,475 --> 01:10:36,886
nine dead,

826
01:10:37,769 --> 01:10:41,479
Mueller and three others wounded,
and one in the madhouse.

827
01:10:42,482 --> 01:10:45,475
We'll all be dead someday,
so let's forget it.

828
01:10:48,071 --> 01:10:50,814
Hurry up!
Get in there! Hurry up!

829
01:10:52,992 --> 01:10:54,324
Himmelstoss!

830
01:11:02,168 --> 01:11:03,500
What's up?

831
01:11:03,836 --> 01:11:04,917
What are you, crazy?

832
01:11:05,004 --> 01:11:06,336
It's Himmelstoss!

833
01:11:06,422 --> 01:11:09,290
Himmelstoss? There is
justice in the army!

834
01:11:12,345 --> 01:11:15,929
Well, well.
So, we are all here, huh?

835
01:11:16,015 --> 01:11:17,881
A bit longer than you, Himmie.

836
01:11:17,976 --> 01:11:20,468
And since when have we
become so familiar?

837
01:11:20,561 --> 01:11:23,019
Stand up there and click your
heels together! All of you!

838
01:11:23,106 --> 01:11:25,519
Take a running jump at yourself!

839
01:11:25,608 --> 01:11:26,974
Who's your friend?

840
01:11:27,068 --> 01:11:30,857
Would somebody get General Ludendorff
a nice, comfortable chair?

841
01:11:32,073 --> 01:11:34,156
I command you as
your superior officer!

842
01:11:34,242 --> 01:11:35,358
Do you want to be
court-martialed for this?

843
01:11:35,451 --> 01:11:36,441
I do!

844
01:11:36,536 --> 01:11:37,743
There's going to be
a big attack tonight

845
01:11:37,829 --> 01:11:39,445
and I'd just love
to get out of it.

846
01:11:40,915 --> 01:11:42,702
Will you obey my orders?

847
01:11:42,875 --> 01:11:44,662
Kiss my foot.

848
01:11:50,341 --> 01:11:53,254
It isn't customary
to ask for salutes here.

849
01:11:53,344 --> 01:11:54,880
But I'll tell you what we'll do.

850
01:11:54,971 --> 01:11:57,679
We're going to attack a town that
we tried to take once before.

851
01:11:57,765 --> 01:12:00,803
Many killed and many wounded.
It was great fun.

852
01:12:00,977 --> 01:12:03,310
This time you're going with us.

853
01:12:03,396 --> 01:12:05,979
If any of us stops a bullet,
before we die,

854
01:12:06,065 --> 01:12:08,808
we're going to come to you, click
our heels together and ask stiffly,

855
01:12:08,901 --> 01:12:11,188
"Please, Sergeant Himmelstoss,
may we go?"

856
01:12:11,321 --> 01:12:14,359
You'll...
You'll pay for this, you...

857
01:12:21,456 --> 01:12:22,822
Here it is.

858
01:12:26,002 --> 01:12:28,665
Right on time.
Better get ready, boys.

859
01:13:27,355 --> 01:13:29,312
I'm wounded. I'm wounded!

860
01:13:29,399 --> 01:13:33,609
It's just a scratch, you yellow rat!
Up! Get on with the others! Up!

861
01:13:34,195 --> 01:13:35,857
No! No! No!

862
01:13:36,239 --> 01:13:37,775
You yellow rat!

863
01:13:38,074 --> 01:13:42,114
You stinking yellow rat!
Let the others do it, eh?

864
01:13:42,203 --> 01:13:43,785
Get up! Get up!

865
01:13:44,997 --> 01:13:48,456
Forward, forward! Get out here!

866
01:13:48,751 --> 01:13:51,084
The command was forward.

867
01:13:54,841 --> 01:13:56,582
Command was forward!

868
01:13:57,260 --> 01:13:58,467
Forward!

869
01:14:00,513 --> 01:14:02,880
Forward! Forward!

870
01:14:05,309 --> 01:14:06,675
Forward!

871
01:14:08,646 --> 01:14:10,012
Forward!

872
01:15:51,749 --> 01:15:53,035
Counterattack.

873
01:18:28,656 --> 01:18:30,397
I want to help you.

874
01:18:31,409 --> 01:18:33,241
I want to help you.

875
01:19:27,256 --> 01:19:29,543
Stop that! Stop that!

876
01:19:31,177 --> 01:19:34,341
I can bear the rest of it.
I can't listen to that!

877
01:19:43,272 --> 01:19:44,854
Why do you take so long dying?

878
01:19:44,940 --> 01:19:46,897
You're going to die anyway!

879
01:19:51,906 --> 01:19:55,240
Oh, no. Oh, no. You won't die.

880
01:19:55,743 --> 01:19:58,952
No, no. You won't die.
They're only little wounds.

881
01:20:00,080 --> 01:20:02,367
You'll get home.
You'll be all right.

882
01:20:03,542 --> 01:20:06,034
You'll get home
long before I will.

883
01:21:08,524 --> 01:21:11,437
You know I can't run away.
That's why you accuse me.

884
01:21:12,945 --> 01:21:16,484
I tell you, I didn't want to kill you.
I tried to keep you alive.

885
01:21:17,449 --> 01:21:20,738
If you jumped in here again,
I wouldn't do it.

886
01:21:20,828 --> 01:21:23,195
You see when you jumped in
here you were my enemy,

887
01:21:23,289 --> 01:21:24,621
and I was afraid of you.

888
01:21:26,333 --> 01:21:29,326
But you're just a man like
me, and I killed you.

889
01:21:30,838 --> 01:21:32,955
Forgive me, comrade.

890
01:21:33,883 --> 01:21:36,091
Say that for me.
Say you forgive me.

891
01:21:38,012 --> 01:21:39,924
Oh, no. You're dead.

892
01:21:41,599 --> 01:21:45,388
Only, you're better off than I am.
You're through.

893
01:21:45,477 --> 01:21:47,764
They can't do
anymore to you now.

894
01:21:49,315 --> 01:21:52,524
Oh, God, why did
they do this to us?

895
01:21:52,985 --> 01:21:55,193
We only wanted
to live, you and I.

896
01:21:56,196 --> 01:21:59,655
Why should they send us
out to fight each other?

897
01:21:59,742 --> 01:22:02,075
If we threw away these
rifles and these uniforms

898
01:22:02,161 --> 01:22:05,029
you could be my brother,
just like Kat and Albert.

899
01:22:06,415 --> 01:22:09,749
You'll have to forgive me, comrade.
I'll do all I can.

900
01:22:10,377 --> 01:22:13,370
I'll write to your parents.
I'll write to...

901
01:22:40,199 --> 01:22:43,158
I'll write to your wife.
I'll write to her.

902
01:22:44,703 --> 01:22:47,696
I promise she'll
not want for anything.

903
01:22:48,374 --> 01:22:50,957
And I'll help her
and your parents, too.

904
01:22:51,043 --> 01:22:54,787
Only, forgive me. Forgive me!

905
01:22:54,880 --> 01:22:57,497
Forgive me. Forgive me.

906
01:22:58,467 --> 01:23:00,379
Forgive me.

907
01:23:44,972 --> 01:23:47,589
Terrible thing
happened yesterday.

908
01:23:47,725 --> 01:23:51,059
I stabbed a man. With my
own hands, stabbed him.

909
01:23:51,145 --> 01:23:55,264
I know how it is.
Your first time.

910
01:23:55,774 --> 01:23:58,141
Never mind. The stretcher-bearers
will find him.

911
01:23:58,277 --> 01:24:00,360
No, no. He's dead, Kat.
I watched him die.

912
01:24:00,446 --> 01:24:02,438
You couldn't do
anything about it.

913
01:24:02,573 --> 01:24:05,816
We have to kill.
We can't help it.

914
01:24:05,951 --> 01:24:10,161
That's what we are here for.
Look there, for instance.

915
01:24:12,458 --> 01:24:16,168
That got him. You should've
seen how he leaped in the air.

916
01:24:17,337 --> 01:24:20,796
That fellow headed the shoot with
us for today with three hits.

917
01:24:20,883 --> 01:24:22,966
If he keeps it up,
he'll have a decoration

918
01:24:23,052 --> 01:24:25,465
for his buttonhole this evening.

919
01:24:25,846 --> 01:24:29,260
Now, don't you lose anymore
sleep over this business.

920
01:24:29,349 --> 01:24:32,057
Maybe it was 'cause I was out
there with him so long, huh?

921
01:24:32,144 --> 01:24:34,010
Sure, that's it.

922
01:24:35,689 --> 01:24:37,681
After all, war is war.

923
01:25:14,937 --> 01:25:16,269
March!

924
01:25:16,355 --> 01:25:18,438
Forward, march!

925
01:25:30,994 --> 01:25:33,407
Quickly! Forward!

926
01:25:34,957 --> 01:25:37,040
Company, halt!

927
01:25:38,544 --> 01:25:39,910
Dismissed!

928
01:25:42,005 --> 01:25:45,373
Noncommissioned officers,
enlisted men, dismissed!

929
01:25:47,052 --> 01:25:49,669
Hooray! Come on,
let's get out of here!

930
01:26:17,958 --> 01:26:18,948
Give me your best sausage.

931
01:26:19,042 --> 01:26:20,078
Two.

932
01:26:22,129 --> 01:26:23,665
Give me a beer.

933
01:26:31,847 --> 01:26:33,930
One, two, three, hoorah!

934
01:26:40,105 --> 01:26:42,643
Hey, come on. A beer.

935
01:26:45,110 --> 01:26:47,193
Hey, get out of here!

936
01:26:47,279 --> 01:26:49,316
Come on. Give me a beer.

937
01:26:53,702 --> 01:26:55,864
A beer. One...

938
01:26:57,122 --> 01:26:58,454
<i>Prosit!</i>

939
01:27:01,627 --> 01:27:05,120
Well, here's hoping we get
falling-down drunk tonight.

940
01:27:05,214 --> 01:27:07,206
Here's how it started.

941
01:27:22,856 --> 01:27:25,394
I'd forgotten there
were girls like that.

942
01:27:25,484 --> 01:27:27,100
There aren't.

943
01:27:28,570 --> 01:27:30,903
Just look at those
thin, little shoes.

944
01:27:31,406 --> 01:27:33,739
She couldn't march
many miles in those.

945
01:27:34,243 --> 01:27:37,111
Paul. Don't speak
about marching.

946
01:27:37,204 --> 01:27:39,036
You're boring the young lady.

947
01:27:41,083 --> 01:27:42,995
A thousand pardons.

948
01:27:45,170 --> 01:27:47,082
How old do you think she is?

949
01:27:47,172 --> 01:27:50,631
Oh, about 22.

950
01:27:50,717 --> 01:27:53,209
No, you know, that'd
make her older than us.

951
01:27:53,303 --> 01:27:56,671
She's 17.

952
01:28:00,435 --> 01:28:04,554
A girl like that. That'd
be good, eh, Albert?

953
01:28:09,695 --> 01:28:12,938
We wouldn't have much of a
chance with him around.

954
01:28:28,380 --> 01:28:30,963
We could take a bath,
wash our clothes...

955
01:28:31,049 --> 01:28:32,540
All right.

956
01:28:32,634 --> 01:28:35,422
I might even go so far
as to get deloused.

957
01:28:35,512 --> 01:28:37,128
Wait a minute! Wait a minute!

958
01:28:37,222 --> 01:28:39,214
She's a long way from here now.

959
01:28:39,308 --> 01:28:42,016
Look at the date. May 1917.

960
01:28:42,102 --> 01:28:43,684
Four months ago.

961
01:28:43,770 --> 01:28:45,557
That's true.

962
01:28:45,647 --> 01:28:48,481
Well, here's to her anyway.

963
01:28:49,026 --> 01:28:51,860
Here's to 'em all, everywhere.

964
01:28:55,991 --> 01:28:59,951
Albert, we might as
well wash up anyway.

965
01:29:00,037 --> 01:29:01,118
All right.

966
01:29:04,499 --> 01:29:07,992
Personally, I like
them bigger around.

967
01:29:08,086 --> 01:29:10,920
This conversation was on a
high moral plane up to now.

968
01:29:11,006 --> 01:29:13,464
Now we do need a bath.

969
01:29:13,759 --> 01:29:15,716
- A bath?
- For what?

970
01:29:17,971 --> 01:29:20,054
You wouldn't understand.

971
01:29:25,896 --> 01:29:28,809
This water's freezing. This
romantic business has gone too far.

972
01:29:28,899 --> 01:29:31,482
But think of her beautiful eyes!

973
01:29:31,568 --> 01:29:34,106
Oh, and her hair.

974
01:29:34,196 --> 01:29:35,562
- Here we are!
- We're not gonna miss a thing!

975
01:29:35,655 --> 01:29:36,691
Go away!

976
01:29:36,782 --> 01:29:37,738
What are you doing here?

977
01:29:37,824 --> 01:29:38,860
Bathing!

978
01:29:38,950 --> 01:29:41,192
They tell me there's some
people in this world

979
01:29:41,286 --> 01:29:43,403
takes a bath every week!

980
01:29:44,581 --> 01:29:46,117
Women!

981
01:30:00,931 --> 01:30:02,923
<i>Mademoiselle,</i>
you want to swim?

982
01:30:18,156 --> 01:30:20,022
<i>Mademoiselle,</i> you could be me!

983
01:30:31,795 --> 01:30:33,661
Oh, baby!

984
01:30:34,798 --> 01:30:35,834
Kiss me!

985
01:30:41,638 --> 01:30:44,051
No, girls! Don't go away!

986
01:30:47,519 --> 01:30:49,306
Oh, mama!

987
01:30:57,279 --> 01:30:58,770
Please don't go!

988
01:30:58,864 --> 01:31:00,355
Don't go away!

989
01:31:00,824 --> 01:31:02,360
<i>Mademoiselle,</i> we want you.

990
01:31:11,835 --> 01:31:14,418
Food! Food! Whoo!

991
01:31:37,569 --> 01:31:38,605
Halt!

992
01:31:38,695 --> 01:31:40,687
You know you're
forbidden to cross.

993
01:31:40,780 --> 01:31:45,024
You fellows stay on this side or you'll
get yourselves in a lot of trouble.

994
01:31:58,298 --> 01:31:59,834
What are they jabbering about?

995
01:31:59,925 --> 01:32:01,962
They want us to swing over tonight.
They're expecting us.

996
01:32:02,052 --> 01:32:03,418
- That's fine!
- We'll do it!

997
01:32:03,512 --> 01:32:05,048
That blonde's crazy about me.

998
01:32:05,138 --> 01:32:07,380
But there's four of us
and only three of them.

999
01:32:07,474 --> 01:32:09,181
I was the one that stopped 'em!

1000
01:32:09,267 --> 01:32:10,974
That blonde piece
of work is mine.

1001
01:32:11,061 --> 01:32:13,018
You three fight for what's left.

1002
01:32:13,104 --> 01:32:16,893
Fight's the word. All's
fair in love and war.

1003
01:32:16,983 --> 01:32:19,441
Huh? What do you mean?
What are you gonna do?

1004
01:32:19,528 --> 01:32:21,144
You'll find out.

1005
01:32:52,143 --> 01:32:54,100
She means the door.

1006
01:33:17,669 --> 01:33:18,910
Not only modest,
but dashing!

1007
01:33:19,004 --> 01:33:20,245
A perfect fit.

1008
01:33:20,338 --> 01:33:21,328
It might've been made for me.

1009
01:33:21,464 --> 01:33:24,502
An officer's coat. We're
calling, distinguished company.

1010
01:34:35,664 --> 01:34:38,202
Have another
little drink, comrade.

1011
01:34:40,251 --> 01:34:43,744
Is this your birthday or mine?

1012
01:34:44,047 --> 01:34:45,333
Why?

1013
01:34:46,091 --> 01:34:50,335
You've been buying me drink
after drink for two hours.

1014
01:34:50,428 --> 01:34:54,843
What I'm trying to
figure out is why.

1015
01:34:55,266 --> 01:34:58,680
Why? Why?

1016
01:35:00,438 --> 01:35:02,930
Oh!

1017
01:35:04,776 --> 01:35:08,360
It's just that the boys

1018
01:35:08,446 --> 01:35:12,907
told me to amuse you
for a little while.

1019
01:35:13,576 --> 01:35:16,034
Oh, nice boys.

1020
01:35:16,121 --> 01:35:17,532
Yeah!

1021
01:35:17,622 --> 01:35:21,115
Yeah, they said you'd understand.

1022
01:35:29,426 --> 01:35:31,383
I've been betrayed!

1023
01:35:31,469 --> 01:35:34,428
Yeah, you certainly have.

1024
01:35:34,514 --> 01:35:37,177
Take that for a minute!

1025
01:35:37,308 --> 01:35:39,140
I'll give you more!

1026
01:35:50,155 --> 01:35:52,693
It's too loud.

1027
01:36:25,690 --> 01:36:26,976
Darling.

1028
01:36:27,692 --> 01:36:29,433
What's your name?

1029
01:36:31,654 --> 01:36:34,237
Name. How do you say name?

1030
01:36:34,824 --> 01:36:37,316
Georgette? Camille?

1031
01:36:40,038 --> 01:36:42,872
Suzanne.

1032
01:36:46,211 --> 01:36:48,248
Paul.

1033
01:36:51,007 --> 01:36:55,092
Suzanne, I wish I could
tell you something.

1034
01:36:55,595 --> 01:36:57,427
I wish you could understand.

1035
01:36:58,723 --> 01:37:03,843
Darling, I'll never see you again.
I know that.

1036
01:37:04,896 --> 01:37:06,888
And I wouldn't even
know you if I did.

1037
01:37:07,023 --> 01:37:11,734
And yet,
I'll remember you always.

1038
01:37:15,406 --> 01:37:17,489
If you could only know
how different this is

1039
01:37:17,575 --> 01:37:19,692
from the women
that we soldiers meet.

1040
01:37:24,040 --> 01:37:27,283
No, no, no. Not the war.

1041
01:37:27,418 --> 01:37:30,252
You. That's what
I'm talking about.

1042
01:37:33,550 --> 01:37:37,885
It seems as though all war,
terror and grossness

1043
01:37:37,971 --> 01:37:41,681
had fallen away from me,
like a miracle.

1044
01:37:43,268 --> 01:37:45,305
Like something I never believed.

1045
01:37:53,987 --> 01:37:55,649
Call Paul.

1046
01:37:56,865 --> 01:37:58,606
We're going, Paul.

1047
01:38:29,147 --> 01:38:31,514
Have a look. Nice, new coffins.

1048
01:38:31,608 --> 01:38:32,940
For us.

1049
01:38:34,360 --> 01:38:35,942
I must say,
that's a very cheerful

1050
01:38:36,029 --> 01:38:37,565
preparation for this offensive.

1051
01:38:37,655 --> 01:38:39,396
That's very considerate of them.

1052
01:38:39,490 --> 01:38:43,074
But I don't see any long enough
for our comrade, Tjaden.

1053
01:38:43,161 --> 01:38:46,074
Mind you, I'm not speaking
to you, you traitors.

1054
01:38:46,164 --> 01:38:48,702
But no coffin's gonna get me.

1055
01:38:48,791 --> 01:38:51,784
I should say not, heartbreaker.

1056
01:38:51,878 --> 01:38:54,746
You'll be thankful if they
slip a waterproof sheet

1057
01:38:54,839 --> 01:38:58,173
around that Aunt Sally
of a carcass of yours.

1058
01:39:27,997 --> 01:39:30,205
My side!

1059
01:39:34,879 --> 01:39:36,120
My side.

1060
01:39:54,357 --> 01:39:56,189
Catholic hospital, Albert.

1061
01:39:57,819 --> 01:40:01,233
They say you always get good
food and good treatment.

1062
01:40:01,447 --> 01:40:02,563
We're lucky.

1063
01:40:02,657 --> 01:40:04,114
After that rainy
dressing station

1064
01:40:04,200 --> 01:40:06,988
and 24 hours on the train,
we deserve to have some luck.

1065
01:40:13,042 --> 01:40:14,578
I'm Hammacher.

1066
01:40:17,880 --> 01:40:20,167
Yes, that's my name.

1067
01:40:20,883 --> 01:40:24,172
I got a crack in the head and they
gave me a certificate stating

1068
01:40:24,262 --> 01:40:26,970
that Joseph Hammacher
is periodically

1069
01:40:27,056 --> 01:40:29,719
not responsible for his actions.

1070
01:40:31,394 --> 01:40:36,685
And ever since then, Hammacher
has been having a grand time.

1071
01:40:45,575 --> 01:40:48,864
I hope you boys are
not too badly wounded.

1072
01:40:49,912 --> 01:40:54,907
The others die off so quickly we
don't have time to get acquainted.

1073
01:40:55,293 --> 01:40:58,206
You'll get to know us very well.

1074
01:40:59,630 --> 01:41:02,464
Thank you. You, too.

1075
01:41:07,889 --> 01:41:12,008
I'm sorry, my dear.
It's time to go now.

1076
01:41:12,852 --> 01:41:14,718
Yes, Sister.

1077
01:41:22,111 --> 01:41:23,818
Watch.

1078
01:41:25,948 --> 01:41:29,737
If they take his clothes away,
you've seen the last of him.

1079
01:41:31,120 --> 01:41:33,612
See? They're taking him
to the dying room.

1080
01:41:33,706 --> 01:41:35,038
Dying room?

1081
01:41:35,124 --> 01:41:36,456
When you're ready
to kick the bucket,

1082
01:41:36,542 --> 01:41:39,751
they get you out of the way
so they can use the bed.

1083
01:41:39,837 --> 01:41:41,203
In the corner of the building

1084
01:41:41,297 --> 01:41:45,337
there's a little room
right next to the morgue!

1085
01:41:46,552 --> 01:41:49,295
It's so convenient.
It saves a lot of trouble.

1086
01:41:49,388 --> 01:41:51,471
But suppose he gets well?

1087
01:41:51,557 --> 01:41:54,300
I've seen a lot of them
go in that dying room,

1088
01:41:54,393 --> 01:41:57,477
but nobody ever comes back.

1089
01:42:23,840 --> 01:42:27,504
Sister. Sister. Sister.

1090
01:42:30,346 --> 01:42:31,382
Sister.

1091
01:42:40,398 --> 01:42:41,605
Is that you
ringing, Paul?

1092
01:42:41,691 --> 01:42:42,898
Yes.

1093
01:42:43,651 --> 01:42:45,142
Is something wrong?

1094
01:42:45,236 --> 01:42:46,647
I think I have a hemorrhage.

1095
01:42:46,737 --> 01:42:50,777
The bandage is all wet. I've been
ringing forever and nobody comes.

1096
01:42:52,577 --> 01:42:53,818
I think I'm bleeding.

1097
01:42:53,911 --> 01:42:56,198
Sister, get me a sterile
dressing and an ice pack.

1098
01:42:56,289 --> 01:42:57,450
Why didn't someone call me?

1099
01:42:57,540 --> 01:42:58,997
He's been ringing.

1100
01:42:59,083 --> 01:43:01,291
Nobody can walk, Sister.

1101
01:43:01,377 --> 01:43:02,834
Sister, is it bad?

1102
01:43:02,920 --> 01:43:05,333
No. No, we'll be all right.

1103
01:43:05,423 --> 01:43:06,914
We've got it in time.

1104
01:43:55,389 --> 01:43:58,097
What's the matter?
What are you doing?

1105
01:43:58,184 --> 01:44:00,471
We must rearrange your bandages.

1106
01:44:02,230 --> 01:44:04,563
Where are you taking me?

1107
01:44:04,649 --> 01:44:06,481
To the bandaging ward.

1108
01:44:14,408 --> 01:44:17,321
No, no! I'm not going!
I'm staying here!

1109
01:44:17,411 --> 01:44:18,527
Paul! Paul!

1110
01:44:18,621 --> 01:44:19,737
Now, now!

1111
01:44:19,830 --> 01:44:20,911
I'm not going to the dying room!

1112
01:44:20,998 --> 01:44:22,409
But we're going to
the bandaging ward.

1113
01:44:22,500 --> 01:44:23,911
Then why are you
taking my clothes?

1114
01:44:24,001 --> 01:44:27,836
You're lying to me! But I'll come back!
I won't die!

1115
01:44:27,922 --> 01:44:33,589
I'll come back! I won't die!

1116
01:44:33,678 --> 01:44:36,466
I'm not going to die!
I'll come back!

1117
01:44:47,024 --> 01:44:49,107
Sister
Libertine, how is he?

1118
01:44:49,193 --> 01:44:52,607
Poor boy. They had
to amputate his leg.

1119
01:45:07,795 --> 01:45:08,876
Paul.

1120
01:45:09,964 --> 01:45:14,709
Paul. Paul.

1121
01:45:15,845 --> 01:45:19,464
Oh, he is gone.

1122
01:45:20,474 --> 01:45:21,635
Gone.

1123
01:45:26,731 --> 01:45:30,725
Hello. Welcome home, Albert!

1124
01:45:33,195 --> 01:45:34,481
How do you feel, kid?

1125
01:45:34,572 --> 01:45:35,813
All right.

1126
01:45:35,906 --> 01:45:38,740
But I've got such an awful pain.

1127
01:45:39,076 --> 01:45:40,988
My foot...

1128
01:45:45,374 --> 01:45:48,833
Hammacher.
Did they cut my leg off?

1129
01:45:48,919 --> 01:45:52,162
Of course not! How many
did you have? Two?

1130
01:45:52,256 --> 01:45:55,044
You still got 'em! One, two!

1131
01:45:55,426 --> 01:45:59,386
Don't play the fool, Hammacher.
Tell me truthfully.

1132
01:45:59,472 --> 01:46:02,715
Of course not.
And you look fine.

1133
01:46:05,394 --> 01:46:07,932
Look. See?

1134
01:46:21,911 --> 01:46:23,493
- I won't be a cripple.
- Now, now.

1135
01:46:23,621 --> 01:46:25,453
- I won't live like that!
- Be calm.

1136
01:46:25,581 --> 01:46:27,288
I'll kill myself
the first chance I get!

1137
01:46:27,375 --> 01:46:28,365
Albert!

1138
01:46:28,459 --> 01:46:31,668
- I won't live! I won't live!
- Yes, you will.

1139
01:46:31,796 --> 01:46:34,254
Albert! Albert!

1140
01:46:35,174 --> 01:46:37,257
Albert, I've come back!

1141
01:46:37,343 --> 01:46:41,178
I told you I'd come back. Look, everybody!
I've come back!

1142
01:46:41,305 --> 01:46:42,295
Paul! Paul!

1143
01:46:42,431 --> 01:46:44,548
That's not where I'm going.
I live over there.

1144
01:46:44,642 --> 01:46:46,634
Paul, I'm so happy.

1145
01:46:47,436 --> 01:46:49,428
Hammacher, I've come
back from the dead!

1146
01:46:49,522 --> 01:46:52,230
It's most irregular.
Never happened before.

1147
01:46:52,316 --> 01:46:55,400
Albert, we must get well quickly
so we can go home soon.

1148
01:46:55,486 --> 01:46:57,318
Albert, everything
will be all right now.

1149
01:46:57,446 --> 01:47:01,440
Yes, Paul. Everything
will be all right now.

1150
01:48:33,959 --> 01:48:37,327
Paul! Paul! Paul!

1151
01:48:38,756 --> 01:48:39,837
Paul.

1152
01:48:41,300 --> 01:48:43,337
What's the matter, Paul?

1153
01:48:43,427 --> 01:48:45,794
Nothing. Nothing.

1154
01:49:08,452 --> 01:49:09,943
Paul.

1155
01:49:10,371 --> 01:49:12,112
Give me your handkerchief.

1156
01:49:21,632 --> 01:49:22,713
Mother?

1157
01:49:22,800 --> 01:49:25,463
Here I am, Paul.
Here I am.

1158
01:49:28,806 --> 01:49:30,468
Mother's ill.

1159
01:49:47,741 --> 01:49:49,073
Are you wounded?

1160
01:49:49,159 --> 01:49:51,071
No, Mother. I got leave.

1161
01:49:59,253 --> 01:50:02,917
Here I lie and cry
instead of being glad.

1162
01:50:04,258 --> 01:50:08,093
Anna, get down
the jar of blackberries.

1163
01:50:08,929 --> 01:50:11,763
You still like them, don't you?

1164
01:50:11,849 --> 01:50:15,183
Yes, Mother. I haven't
had any for a long time.

1165
01:50:18,439 --> 01:50:20,931
We might almost have known
you were coming.

1166
01:50:21,525 --> 01:50:23,266
I'm making potato cakes.

1167
01:50:23,402 --> 01:50:25,143
Don't let them burn.

1168
01:50:26,614 --> 01:50:31,109
Paul, sit down beside me.

1169
01:50:36,290 --> 01:50:38,122
My Paul.

1170
01:50:40,252 --> 01:50:42,118
My baby.

1171
01:50:44,632 --> 01:50:48,546
I almost forgot, Mother. I've got
some little presents for you.

1172
01:51:04,193 --> 01:51:07,812
Look, Mother.
Bread, sausage and rice.

1173
01:51:07,905 --> 01:51:10,989
Paul, you've been
starving yourself.

1174
01:51:11,325 --> 01:51:14,443
Hadn't I better go and
tell Father Paul's home?

1175
01:51:14,536 --> 01:51:16,323
Paul could watch
the things on the stove.

1176
01:51:16,413 --> 01:51:19,326
No, no, child, I'm getting up.

1177
01:51:19,416 --> 01:51:23,205
Oh, Paul, you're
a soldier now, aren't you?

1178
01:51:24,088 --> 01:51:27,502
But somehow,
I don't seem to know you.

1179
01:51:28,592 --> 01:51:30,458
I'll take these off, Mother.

1180
01:51:30,552 --> 01:51:34,341
I'll get your suit, Paul. It's in the
wardrobe, just where you left it.

1181
01:51:34,431 --> 01:51:37,390
Are you really here, Paul?

1182
01:51:37,476 --> 01:51:38,933
You won't...

1183
01:51:39,019 --> 01:51:42,433
You won't disappear, will you?

1184
01:51:43,273 --> 01:51:45,856
No. I'm here.

1185
01:52:02,376 --> 01:52:04,959
Your things are
ready for you, Paul.

1186
01:52:06,380 --> 01:52:07,791
I remember when you
caught that one.

1187
01:52:07,881 --> 01:52:10,624
Yes. And you took it
away from me, didn't you?

1188
01:52:11,677 --> 01:52:13,464
Yes, I did.

1189
01:52:27,693 --> 01:52:29,355
We're behind the lines,

1190
01:52:29,445 --> 01:52:31,107
but we know how to
honor the soldier

1191
01:52:31,196 --> 01:52:33,904
who goes on in spite
of blood and death.

1192
01:52:33,991 --> 01:52:35,653
Gentlemen, my son.

1193
01:52:36,910 --> 01:52:38,572
- <i>Prosit.</i>
<i>- Prosit.</i>

1194
01:52:42,750 --> 01:52:46,209
I'm glad to know you, young
man, I am glad to know you.

1195
01:52:46,628 --> 01:52:50,747
And how are things out there?
Terrible, eh? Terrible.

1196
01:52:51,967 --> 01:52:54,050
But we must carry on.

1197
01:52:54,720 --> 01:52:58,805
After all, you do at least
get decent food out there.

1198
01:52:59,433 --> 01:53:02,050
Naturally, it's worse here.
Naturally.

1199
01:53:02,519 --> 01:53:06,638
But the best for our soldiers all the time.
That's our motto.

1200
01:53:07,775 --> 01:53:09,482
The best for our soldiers.

1201
01:53:09,568 --> 01:53:11,275
The best for our soldiers.

1202
01:53:13,739 --> 01:53:16,026
But you must give the
Frenchies a good licking!

1203
01:53:20,662 --> 01:53:23,450
And if you boys
want to come home,

1204
01:53:25,083 --> 01:53:29,453
let me show you what you must
do before you can come home.

1205
01:53:31,340 --> 01:53:33,377
Give us a hand there, men.

1206
01:53:33,926 --> 01:53:36,919
Now, then, there's the line.

1207
01:53:37,429 --> 01:53:39,967
Runs so, in a "V."

1208
01:53:40,933 --> 01:53:43,801
Here is St. Quentin.
You can see for yourself.

1209
01:53:43,894 --> 01:53:46,432
You're almost through now.
All right?

1210
01:53:46,522 --> 01:53:50,937
Shove ahead out there and don't stick
to that everlasting trench warfare.

1211
01:53:51,485 --> 01:53:55,604
Smash through the Johnnies!
And then you will have peace.

1212
01:53:56,782 --> 01:54:00,776
When you get in it, the war isn't
the way it looks back here.

1213
01:54:00,869 --> 01:54:04,033
You don't know
anything about it.

1214
01:54:04,122 --> 01:54:08,913
Of course, you know about the details,
but this relates to the whole.

1215
01:54:09,419 --> 01:54:11,206
You can't judge that.

1216
01:54:11,672 --> 01:54:15,291
Of course, you do your duty
and you risk your life.

1217
01:54:15,634 --> 01:54:18,923
But for that, you receive
the highest honor.

1218
01:54:20,138 --> 01:54:23,097
I said that every man in the war
ought to have the Iron Cross.

1219
01:54:23,183 --> 01:54:27,143
First, the enemy lines must be
broken through in Flanders.

1220
01:54:27,229 --> 01:54:28,436
On to Paris!

1221
01:54:28,522 --> 01:54:29,808
- Push on to Paris!
- Right.

1222
01:54:30,065 --> 01:54:31,681
No, not in Flanders.
Now I'll tell you

1223
01:54:31,775 --> 01:54:33,357
just where the break
should come.

1224
01:54:33,443 --> 01:54:34,729
Here.

1225
01:54:34,820 --> 01:54:36,482
The enemy has
too many reserves there.

1226
01:54:36,572 --> 01:54:38,529
I insist upon Flanders!

1227
01:54:38,615 --> 01:54:40,777
I know, but, my dear man,
why should they do that

1228
01:54:40,868 --> 01:54:42,530
when they're halfway through St.
Quentin already?

1229
01:54:42,619 --> 01:54:43,735
Why go the other way?

1230
01:54:43,829 --> 01:54:45,536
Because Flanders
is a flat country.

1231
01:54:45,622 --> 01:54:47,363
There are no mountains,
no obstructions.

1232
01:54:47,457 --> 01:54:49,119
But there's many rivers there.

1233
01:55:07,853 --> 01:55:10,015
From the
farms they have gone,

1234
01:55:10,105 --> 01:55:12,688
from the schools,
from the factories.

1235
01:55:13,108 --> 01:55:16,692
They have gone bravely,
nobly, ever forward,

1236
01:55:17,070 --> 01:55:22,361
realizing that there is no other
duty now but to save the fatherland.

1237
01:55:23,577 --> 01:55:27,321
Paul! How are you, Paul?

1238
01:55:27,456 --> 01:55:29,539
Glad to see you, Professor.

1239
01:55:30,292 --> 01:55:34,377
You've come at the right moment, Bäumer.
Just at the right moment.

1240
01:55:34,588 --> 01:55:36,921
And as if to prove
all I have said,

1241
01:55:37,007 --> 01:55:39,249
here is one of the first to go.

1242
01:55:39,635 --> 01:55:43,128
A lad who sat before me
on these very benches,

1243
01:55:43,639 --> 01:55:47,098
who gave up all to serve
in the first year of the war.

1244
01:55:47,601 --> 01:55:52,016
One of the iron youth who have made
Germany invincible in the field.

1245
01:55:52,356 --> 01:55:56,441
Look at him, sturdy and
bronze and clear-eyed.

1246
01:55:56,735 --> 01:56:00,024
The kind of soldier
every one of you should envy.

1247
01:56:00,989 --> 01:56:03,572
Paul, lad,
you must speak to them.

1248
01:56:04,034 --> 01:56:07,653
You must tell them what it means
to serve your fatherland.

1249
01:56:09,957 --> 01:56:11,539
No, no, I can't
tell them anything.

1250
01:56:11,625 --> 01:56:14,083
You must, Paul. Just a word.

1251
01:56:14,169 --> 01:56:17,162
Just tell them how much
they're needed out there.

1252
01:56:17,255 --> 01:56:20,339
Tell them why you went
and what it meant to you.

1253
01:56:21,009 --> 01:56:22,625
I can't say anything.

1254
01:56:22,719 --> 01:56:27,430
Can't you remember some deed of
heroism, some touch of nobility?

1255
01:56:27,849 --> 01:56:29,340
Tell about it.

1256
01:56:35,941 --> 01:56:38,649
I can't tell you
anything you don't know.

1257
01:56:39,361 --> 01:56:42,274
We live in the trenches
out there. We fight.

1258
01:56:43,490 --> 01:56:46,779
We try not to be killed,
sometimes we are.

1259
01:56:49,663 --> 01:56:50,995
That's all.

1260
01:56:54,668 --> 01:56:57,126
No. No, Paul.

1261
01:56:57,587 --> 01:57:00,295
I've been there!
I know what it's like.

1262
01:57:00,507 --> 01:57:03,124
That's not what
one dwells on, Paul.

1263
01:57:03,218 --> 01:57:06,382
I've heard you in here
reciting that same old stuff,

1264
01:57:06,471 --> 01:57:09,555
making more iron men,
more young heroes.

1265
01:57:10,684 --> 01:57:12,676
You still think it's
beautiful and sweet

1266
01:57:12,769 --> 01:57:15,307
to die for your country,
don't you?

1267
01:57:15,397 --> 01:57:17,434
We used to think you knew.

1268
01:57:17,858 --> 01:57:20,566
The first bombardment
taught us better.

1269
01:57:21,194 --> 01:57:24,187
It's dirty and painful
to die for your country.

1270
01:57:24,281 --> 01:57:25,863
When it comes to dying
for your country,

1271
01:57:25,949 --> 01:57:28,362
it's better not to die at all!

1272
01:57:28,452 --> 01:57:31,445
There are millions out there
dying for their countries,

1273
01:57:31,538 --> 01:57:32,654
and what good is it?

1274
01:57:36,084 --> 01:57:37,200
Paul.

1275
01:57:37,294 --> 01:57:40,378
You asked me to tell them how
much they're needed out there.

1276
01:57:40,464 --> 01:57:42,706
He tells you, "Go out and die."

1277
01:57:42,883 --> 01:57:44,419
Oh, but if you'll pardon me,

1278
01:57:44,509 --> 01:57:47,343
it's easier to say, "Go out
and die" than it is to do it.

1279
01:57:47,429 --> 01:57:48,715
Coward!

1280
01:57:48,805 --> 01:57:52,139
And it's easier to say it
than to watch it happen.

1281
01:57:52,309 --> 01:57:53,845
- Coward!
- Get out!

1282
01:57:53,935 --> 01:57:56,723
No! Boys, boys!

1283
01:57:58,148 --> 01:57:59,855
I'm sorry, Bäumer,
but I must say...

1284
01:57:59,941 --> 01:58:02,024
It's no use talking like this.

1285
01:58:02,110 --> 01:58:04,147
You won't know what I mean.

1286
01:58:04,237 --> 01:58:08,402
Only, it's been a long while since
we enlisted out of this classroom.

1287
01:58:08,492 --> 01:58:12,486
So long I thought maybe the whole
world had learned by this time.

1288
01:58:12,662 --> 01:58:16,451
Only now they're sending babies,
and they won't last a week.

1289
01:58:16,833 --> 01:58:18,995
I shouldn't have come on leave.

1290
01:58:19,127 --> 01:58:20,743
Up at the front you're
alive or you're dead,

1291
01:58:20,837 --> 01:58:22,419
and that's all.

1292
01:58:22,506 --> 01:58:25,340
You can't fool anybody
about that very long.

1293
01:58:25,467 --> 01:58:27,584
And up there we know
we're lost and done for,

1294
01:58:27,677 --> 01:58:29,839
whether we're dead or alive.

1295
01:58:29,930 --> 01:58:32,638
Three years we've had of it...
Four years.

1296
01:58:32,766 --> 01:58:35,850
And every day a year,
and every night a century.

1297
01:58:36,812 --> 01:58:39,600
And our bodies are earth,
and our thoughts are clay,

1298
01:58:39,689 --> 01:58:42,022
and we sleep and eat with death.

1299
01:58:42,359 --> 01:58:44,521
We're done for because
you can't live that way

1300
01:58:44,611 --> 01:58:47,024
and keep anything inside you!

1301
01:58:47,114 --> 01:58:50,528
I shouldn't have come on leave.
I'll go back tomorrow.

1302
01:58:50,826 --> 01:58:53,534
I've got four days more,
but I can't stand it here.

1303
01:58:53,662 --> 01:58:55,369
I'll go back tomorrow!

1304
01:58:56,456 --> 01:58:57,617
I'm sorry.

1305
01:59:09,636 --> 01:59:12,970
Mother, you'll catch cold here.
You must go to sleep.

1306
01:59:13,056 --> 01:59:17,016
There'll be plenty of time
to sleep when you're gone.

1307
01:59:18,562 --> 01:59:21,680
Must you go tomorrow, Paul?
Must you?

1308
01:59:22,232 --> 01:59:24,565
Yes, Mother.
Orders were changed.

1309
01:59:27,821 --> 01:59:30,063
Are you very much afraid, Paul?

1310
01:59:31,408 --> 01:59:32,819
No, Mother.

1311
01:59:35,370 --> 01:59:38,909
There's something I want
to say to you, Paul. It's...

1312
01:59:40,083 --> 01:59:44,077
Just be on your guard
against the women out there.

1313
01:59:45,088 --> 01:59:46,624
They're no good.

1314
01:59:47,424 --> 01:59:50,417
Where we are there aren't
any women, Mother.

1315
01:59:51,803 --> 01:59:54,295
Be very careful
at the front, Paul.

1316
01:59:54,973 --> 01:59:56,760
Yes, Mother, I will.

1317
01:59:57,142 --> 01:59:59,259
I'll pray for you every day.

1318
01:59:59,728 --> 02:00:04,940
And if you could get a job
that's not quite so dangerous...

1319
02:00:07,235 --> 02:00:10,444
Yes, Mother. I'll try and
get in the cookhouse.

1320
02:00:10,530 --> 02:00:11,737
That can easily be done.

1321
02:00:11,823 --> 02:00:14,566
You do it then, and if the
others say anything...

1322
02:00:14,659 --> 02:00:16,776
That won't worry me, Mother.

1323
02:00:17,662 --> 02:00:18,869
Now you must go to bed

1324
02:00:18,955 --> 02:00:22,119
and you must get well
quickly before I come back.

1325
02:00:24,336 --> 02:00:28,797
I put two sets of underwear,
new ones, in your pack.

1326
02:00:29,424 --> 02:00:32,838
They'll keep you nice and warm.
They're all wool.

1327
02:00:33,803 --> 02:00:35,465
That's sweet of you.

1328
02:00:36,431 --> 02:00:39,344
Good night, my son.

1329
02:00:47,651 --> 02:00:49,313
Good night, Mother.

1330
02:01:12,175 --> 02:01:15,964
Oh, Mother, Mother.
You still think I'm a child.

1331
02:01:17,055 --> 02:01:20,173
Why can't I put my head
in your lap and cry?

1332
02:01:44,749 --> 02:01:45,910
Is this the 2nd Company?

1333
02:01:46,001 --> 02:01:47,208
Yes, sir.

1334
02:02:10,150 --> 02:02:11,186
Is this all of it?

1335
02:02:11,276 --> 02:02:12,266
Yes, sir.

1336
02:02:12,402 --> 02:02:15,770
We had 150 men, but this is
all that came back yesterday.

1337
02:02:15,905 --> 02:02:19,489
But now they're going to give
us enough to make 150 again.

1338
02:02:20,577 --> 02:02:22,034
How old are you?

1339
02:02:22,746 --> 02:02:23,987
Sixteen.

1340
02:02:45,268 --> 02:02:47,726
No use.
I couldn't find anything.

1341
02:02:48,271 --> 02:02:50,684
We'll have to eat the sawdust.

1342
02:02:51,107 --> 02:02:55,101
Not me! I'll go hungry first.
This makes me sick.

1343
02:03:11,044 --> 02:03:13,536
Now it's gonna be
a real war again.

1344
02:03:14,297 --> 02:03:16,630
Paul! How's old Paul?

1345
02:03:17,050 --> 02:03:18,382
Here I am.

1346
02:03:18,802 --> 02:03:20,543
You know, the 2nd Company's
getting hard to find.

1347
02:03:20,637 --> 02:03:23,380
Nobody seemed to know
where you were.

1348
02:03:23,473 --> 02:03:25,305
I'm glad you found it.

1349
02:03:29,479 --> 02:03:31,937
I guess I don't
get much of this.

1350
02:03:37,070 --> 02:03:41,064
There used to be some food in the sawdust.
Now it's all sawdust.

1351
02:03:41,157 --> 02:03:44,321
No joke, either.
Eats you up inside.

1352
02:03:45,328 --> 02:03:47,911
This doesn't look much
like the old 2nd Company.

1353
02:03:47,997 --> 02:03:49,613
The replacements
are all like that.

1354
02:03:49,707 --> 02:03:52,415
Not even old enough
to carry a pack.

1355
02:03:52,669 --> 02:03:54,956
All they know how to do is die.

1356
02:03:55,505 --> 02:03:58,839
I guess some of the
old-timers are here yet.

1357
02:03:59,759 --> 02:04:03,594
Paul, they're trying to invent
something to kill me right now.

1358
02:04:05,640 --> 02:04:07,176
Where's Westhus?

1359
02:04:08,184 --> 02:04:11,803
Messenger dog was wounded.
He went out to get it.

1360
02:04:14,023 --> 02:04:15,730
Is it true about
the armistice, Paul?

1361
02:04:15,817 --> 02:04:17,433
Doesn't look
that way back there.

1362
02:04:17,527 --> 02:04:19,268
You mean they want us
to go on fighting?

1363
02:04:19,362 --> 02:04:20,443
That's what they say.

1364
02:04:20,530 --> 02:04:21,987
They're crazy!

1365
02:04:23,783 --> 02:04:26,116
Germany'll be empty pretty soon.

1366
02:04:27,328 --> 02:04:29,490
Where's Detering?

1367
02:04:30,331 --> 02:04:33,870
He got homesick. You remember
about the cherry blossoms?

1368
02:04:34,627 --> 02:04:36,869
I guess he never got over that.

1369
02:04:37,005 --> 02:04:38,496
He started out
one night to go home

1370
02:04:38,590 --> 02:04:41,082
and help his wife with the farm.

1371
02:04:41,176 --> 02:04:44,886
They got him behind the lines,
and we never heard of him since.

1372
02:04:44,971 --> 02:04:48,965
He was just homesick, but probably
they couldn't see it that way.

1373
02:04:51,186 --> 02:04:52,802
Where's Kat? Is he...

1374
02:04:52,896 --> 02:04:54,853
Not Kat!

1375
02:04:55,565 --> 02:04:57,852
If he were out,
the war would be over.

1376
02:04:58,026 --> 02:04:59,608
You remember
what he always says,

1377
02:04:59,694 --> 02:05:01,230
they're saving him for the last.

1378
02:05:01,321 --> 02:05:02,402
Where is he?

1379
02:05:02,489 --> 02:05:03,775
He's out looking for food,

1380
02:05:03,865 --> 02:05:05,982
trying to collect something
to make soup with.

1381
02:05:06,075 --> 02:05:07,611
Which way?

1382
02:05:07,702 --> 02:05:09,739
Down the road about
two miles that way.

1383
02:05:09,829 --> 02:05:11,536
I'll see you later.

1384
02:05:25,762 --> 02:05:26,798
Kat!

1385
02:05:31,601 --> 02:05:32,637
Paul!

1386
02:05:49,494 --> 02:05:50,905
Hello, Paul.

1387
02:05:52,580 --> 02:05:53,696
How's the side?

1388
02:05:53,790 --> 02:05:55,998
Oh, it's all right now.
It's fine.

1389
02:05:57,502 --> 02:05:58,618
Have any luck?

1390
02:05:58,753 --> 02:06:02,292
No, the general's staff's been
over this country with a rake.

1391
02:06:03,299 --> 02:06:05,131
Let's sit down a minute.

1392
02:06:08,179 --> 02:06:11,468
Tell me, Paul,
how was it at home?

1393
02:06:11,933 --> 02:06:13,595
Have a good leave?

1394
02:06:14,143 --> 02:06:15,224
In spots.

1395
02:06:15,311 --> 02:06:16,301
What's the matter?

1396
02:06:17,355 --> 02:06:21,645
Oh, I'm no good for
back there anymore, Kat.

1397
02:06:21,818 --> 02:06:25,152
None of us are.
We've been in this too long.

1398
02:06:25,697 --> 02:06:28,440
The young men thought I was a
coward because I told them that

1399
02:06:28,533 --> 02:06:32,197
we learn that death is stronger
than duty to one's country.

1400
02:06:33,496 --> 02:06:35,783
The old men said,
"Go on. Push on to Paris."

1401
02:06:35,873 --> 02:06:38,331
My father even wanted me
to wear my uniform around.

1402
02:06:41,337 --> 02:06:43,829
It's not home
back there anymore.

1403
02:06:44,048 --> 02:06:48,509
All I could think of was, "I'd like
to get back and see Kat again."

1404
02:06:50,722 --> 02:06:53,009
You're all I've got left, Kat.

1405
02:06:53,349 --> 02:06:55,341
I'm not much to have left.

1406
02:06:56,019 --> 02:06:57,681
I missed you, Paul.

1407
02:06:58,146 --> 02:07:00,354
At least we know what
it's all about out here.

1408
02:07:00,481 --> 02:07:02,347
There're no lies here.

1409
02:07:03,359 --> 02:07:05,021
Push on to Paris?

1410
02:07:05,528 --> 02:07:07,986
You ought to see what they've
got on the other side.

1411
02:07:08,072 --> 02:07:10,314
They eat white bread over there.

1412
02:07:10,408 --> 02:07:12,741
They've got dozens of
airplanes to our one

1413
02:07:12,869 --> 02:07:15,361
and tanks that'll
go over anything.

1414
02:07:15,872 --> 02:07:17,579
What've we got left?

1415
02:07:18,041 --> 02:07:21,409
Guns so worn they drop
shells on our own men.

1416
02:07:21,836 --> 02:07:25,045
No food, no ammunition,
no officers.

1417
02:07:25,882 --> 02:07:27,498
Push on to Paris!

1418
02:07:28,676 --> 02:07:31,384
So that's the way
they talk back there.

1419
02:07:33,056 --> 02:07:35,218
I guess we'd better be going.

1420
02:07:42,023 --> 02:07:44,231
How I lied to my poor mother.

1421
02:07:45,068 --> 02:07:47,401
I told her it wasn't so
bad out here because

1422
02:07:47,487 --> 02:07:50,025
there was always
a lot of us together.

1423
02:07:51,115 --> 02:07:52,481
Now that I'm with you,

1424
02:07:52,575 --> 02:07:55,613
I'm beginning to believe
that I told her the truth.

1425
02:07:55,745 --> 02:07:56,861
Down!

1426
02:08:06,089 --> 02:08:08,797
That's another one that missed us.
Come on. Let's go.

1427
02:08:08,925 --> 02:08:10,006
Wait a minute.

1428
02:08:10,093 --> 02:08:12,756
Looks like the old
bread wagon's broke down.

1429
02:08:13,763 --> 02:08:15,971
I guess I don't walk
the rest of the way.

1430
02:08:16,057 --> 02:08:17,298
Did that get you, Kat?

1431
02:08:17,392 --> 02:08:19,600
I think it broke my shin.

1432
02:08:21,479 --> 02:08:24,267
That's not so bad.
Hold it together.

1433
02:08:25,108 --> 02:08:26,895
Just my luck, huh?

1434
02:08:26,984 --> 02:08:29,021
Good luck.
That means the war is over.

1435
02:08:29,112 --> 02:08:30,944
Oh, no, sir.

1436
02:08:31,280 --> 02:08:34,148
This war don't end
till they really get me.

1437
02:08:35,410 --> 02:08:36,992
Now this one.

1438
02:08:37,578 --> 02:08:39,160
Easy, now.

1439
02:08:39,288 --> 02:08:40,369
Hey!

1440
02:08:40,498 --> 02:08:41,614
Easy!

1441
02:08:43,918 --> 02:08:46,786
Come on. I'll take you in.
Give me your hand.

1442
02:08:49,841 --> 02:08:50,957
Easy.

1443
02:08:52,593 --> 02:08:53,925
All right.

1444
02:09:04,439 --> 02:09:07,807
Well, kid, now we're
gonna be separated.

1445
02:09:08,693 --> 02:09:12,437
Maybe we can do something together
later on when the war is over.

1446
02:09:12,530 --> 02:09:13,737
Yes, kid.

1447
02:09:13,823 --> 02:09:15,906
You give me your address
and I'll give you mine.

1448
02:09:22,707 --> 02:09:25,199
You can't get both
of us in one day!

1449
02:09:26,169 --> 02:09:29,003
We'll surely see
each other again, Kat.

1450
02:09:29,881 --> 02:09:33,795
Remember that day when you brought
the whole pig into the factory?

1451
02:09:33,885 --> 02:09:37,879
And that day in the woods when you
taught us how to dodge shells?

1452
02:09:38,181 --> 02:09:41,515
And my first bombardment.
How I cried.

1453
02:09:42,852 --> 02:09:45,014
I was a young recruit then.

1454
02:09:48,858 --> 02:09:51,521
Here we are. Here we are.

1455
02:09:56,699 --> 02:09:58,531
All right now, Kat.

1456
02:10:01,704 --> 02:10:04,367
You could've spared yourself the trouble.
He's dead.

1457
02:10:04,457 --> 02:10:07,700
Oh, no. He's just fainted.
He was hit in the shin.

1458
02:10:07,877 --> 02:10:09,209
He's dead.

1459
02:10:23,142 --> 02:10:25,725
Would you like to
take his paybook?

1460
02:10:27,647 --> 02:10:29,309
You're not related, are you?

1461
02:10:29,398 --> 02:10:31,060
No, we're not related.

1462
02:10:39,408 --> 02:10:41,821
Your deal. Did you get
his name and number?

1463
02:10:41,911 --> 02:10:44,745
Yeah, Corporal
Stanislas Katczinsky, 306.

1464
02:10:52,421 --> 02:10:53,878
I don't get it.
