1
00:02:02,372 --> 00:02:03,829
Thirty thousand.

2
00:02:03,915 --> 00:02:05,247
From the Russians?

3
00:02:05,334 --> 00:02:06,791
No, from the French.

4
00:02:06,877 --> 00:02:10,291
From the Russians, we capture
more than that every day.

5
00:02:29,232 --> 00:02:31,019
Mr. Postman.

6
00:02:32,069 --> 00:02:35,233
War is war and schnapps is
schnapps, but business must go on.

7
00:02:35,405 --> 00:02:36,612
You didn't leave
the mail yet this morning.

8
00:02:36,698 --> 00:02:39,031
Ah, I'm sorry, Mr. Meyer.

9
00:02:43,163 --> 00:02:45,576
Hello, Himmelstoss.
Anything for us today?

10
00:02:45,666 --> 00:02:46,747
No, no, Master Peter.

11
00:02:46,833 --> 00:02:47,823
C'mon, there must be something.

12
00:02:47,918 --> 00:02:50,160
Here, here you go, young rascal.

13
00:02:50,629 --> 00:02:53,542
There. This is the last
mail I deliver, anyhow.

14
00:02:53,632 --> 00:02:54,622
What?

15
00:02:54,716 --> 00:02:56,252
Tomorrow I change uniform.

16
00:02:56,343 --> 00:02:57,333
You're going in the army?

17
00:02:57,427 --> 00:02:58,838
Yes, I was called.

18
00:02:58,929 --> 00:03:01,171
I'm a sergeant in the
reserves, you know.

19
00:03:01,264 --> 00:03:03,677
I'll be called myself, if it
doesn't end in a few months.

20
00:03:03,767 --> 00:03:04,757
It will, though.

21
00:03:04,851 --> 00:03:06,638
I'm sure you're right,
Mr. Meyer.

22
00:04:09,875 --> 00:04:11,457
...and join the mighty army

23
00:04:11,543 --> 00:04:14,627
that is defending our
country, our fatherland.

24
00:04:14,713 --> 00:04:18,457
Now, my beloved class,
this is what we must do.

25
00:04:18,925 --> 00:04:21,133
Strike with all our power.

26
00:04:21,219 --> 00:04:23,302
Give every ounce of strength

27
00:04:23,388 --> 00:04:26,802
to win victory before
the end of the year.

28
00:04:27,517 --> 00:04:31,306
It is with reluctance that I
bring this subject up again.

29
00:04:32,230 --> 00:04:35,814
You are the life of
the fatherland, you boys.

30
00:04:35,901 --> 00:04:38,939
You are the iron men of Germany.

31
00:04:39,029 --> 00:04:42,898
You are the gay heroes
who will repulse the enemy

32
00:04:42,991 --> 00:04:45,324
when you are
called upon to do so.

33
00:04:45,410 --> 00:04:48,323
It is not for me
to suggest that any of you

34
00:04:48,413 --> 00:04:52,077
should stand up and offer
to defend his country.

35
00:04:52,167 --> 00:04:55,331
But I wonder if such a thing
is going through your heads.

36
00:04:55,670 --> 00:04:58,583
I know that
in one of the schools

37
00:04:58,673 --> 00:05:01,165
the boys have risen up
in the classroom

38
00:05:01,259 --> 00:05:03,251
and enlisted in a mass.

39
00:05:03,553 --> 00:05:06,261
But, of course, if such a
thing should happen here

40
00:05:06,348 --> 00:05:09,341
you would not blame me
for a feeling of pride.

41
00:05:09,434 --> 00:05:11,551
Perhaps some will say

42
00:05:11,645 --> 00:05:13,807
<i>that you should not
be allowed to go yet,</i>

43
00:05:13,897 --> 00:05:18,813
<i>that you are too young, that you
have homes, mothers, fathers,</i>

44
00:05:18,902 --> 00:05:21,110
<i>that you should
not be torn away.</i>

45
00:05:21,196 --> 00:05:25,406
<i>Are your fathers so forgetful
of their fatherland</i>

46
00:05:25,492 --> 00:05:28,576
<i>that they would let it
perish rather than you?</i>

47
00:05:30,038 --> 00:05:34,123
Are your mothers so weak
that they cannot send a son

48
00:05:34,209 --> 00:05:36,917
to defend the land
which gave them birth?

49
00:05:37,003 --> 00:05:40,622
And after all,
is a little experience

50
00:05:40,715 --> 00:05:43,253
such a bad thing for a boy?

51
00:05:44,511 --> 00:05:47,800
Is the honor
of wearing a uniform

52
00:05:47,889 --> 00:05:50,381
something from
which we should run?

53
00:05:50,851 --> 00:05:54,310
<i>And if our young ladies glory
in those who wear it,</i>

54
00:05:54,396 --> 00:05:56,854
<i>is that anything
to be ashamed of?</i>

55
00:05:56,940 --> 00:06:01,560
I know you have never desired
the adulation of heroes.

56
00:06:02,028 --> 00:06:04,691
That has not been
part of my teaching.

57
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,028
We have sought to
make ourselves worthy

58
00:06:08,118 --> 00:06:10,906
and let acclaim
come when it would.

59
00:06:11,496 --> 00:06:14,330
But to be foremost in battle

60
00:06:14,916 --> 00:06:17,454
is a virtue not to be despised.

61
00:06:18,587 --> 00:06:20,704
I believe it will be
a quick war,

62
00:06:20,797 --> 00:06:22,629
that there will be few losses.

63
00:06:22,716 --> 00:06:24,958
But if losses there must be,

64
00:06:25,051 --> 00:06:28,135
then let us remember
the Latin phrase

65
00:06:28,221 --> 00:06:31,339
which must have come to
the lips of many a Roman

66
00:06:31,433 --> 00:06:34,642
when he stood embattled
in a foreign land,

67
00:06:35,020 --> 00:06:39,185
<i>"Dulce et decorum
est pro patria mori."</i>

68
00:06:39,983 --> 00:06:44,603
"Sweet and fitting it is
to die for the fatherland."

69
00:06:46,489 --> 00:06:48,902
Some of you may have ambitions.

70
00:06:48,992 --> 00:06:53,282
I know of one young man who
has great promise as a writer

71
00:06:53,997 --> 00:06:56,740
and he has written
the first act of a tragedy

72
00:06:56,833 --> 00:06:59,450
which would be a credit
to one of the masters.

73
00:06:59,711 --> 00:07:01,794
And he is dreaming, I suppose,

74
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:06,090
of following in the footsteps
of Goethe and Schiller,

75
00:07:06,635 --> 00:07:08,126
and I hope he will.

76
00:07:08,595 --> 00:07:11,178
But now our country calls.

77
00:07:11,264 --> 00:07:13,677
The fatherland needs leaders.

78
00:07:13,767 --> 00:07:17,351
Personal ambition
must be thrown aside

79
00:07:17,437 --> 00:07:21,056
in the one great sacrifice
for our country.

80
00:07:22,067 --> 00:07:25,902
Here is a glorious
beginning for your lives.

81
00:07:25,987 --> 00:07:28,525
The field of honor calls you.

82
00:07:28,615 --> 00:07:30,698
Why are we here?

83
00:07:30,992 --> 00:07:33,860
You, Kropp,
what has kept you back?

84
00:07:33,995 --> 00:07:38,330
You, Mueller, you know
how much you are needed?

85
00:07:38,416 --> 00:07:42,000
Ah, I see you look
at your leader.

86
00:07:43,171 --> 00:07:47,211
And I, too,
look to you, Paul Bäumer,

87
00:07:47,634 --> 00:07:49,921
and I wonder what
you are going to do.

88
00:07:50,387 --> 00:07:52,003
- I'll go.
- I want to go.

89
00:07:52,097 --> 00:07:53,087
Count on me.

90
00:07:53,515 --> 00:07:54,505
Me, too.

91
00:07:55,433 --> 00:07:56,423
I'm ready.

92
00:07:56,810 --> 00:07:58,221
I'm not gonna stay home.

93
00:08:07,529 --> 00:08:10,863
Follow me! Enlist now!

94
00:08:10,949 --> 00:08:14,033
No more classes!

95
00:08:15,286 --> 00:08:17,528
- Don't be a quitter.
- Come on, Behn!

96
00:08:17,622 --> 00:08:19,659
Stick together. That's
what we've got to do.

97
00:08:19,749 --> 00:08:21,206
Let's all stick together.

98
00:08:21,292 --> 00:08:22,749
Come on, Behn.

99
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,162
All right. All right.

100
00:08:26,506 --> 00:08:27,542
I'll go.

101
00:08:27,632 --> 00:08:28,668
That's the way!

102
00:08:28,758 --> 00:08:30,670
Let's go!

103
00:08:32,178 --> 00:08:34,295
Sing! Let's sing! Come on!

104
00:10:08,024 --> 00:10:09,606
Keep in line, there, soldiers.

105
00:10:09,692 --> 00:10:12,560
Anything you say, General.

106
00:10:14,405 --> 00:10:16,067
Detail, halt!

107
00:10:16,950 --> 00:10:18,691
Left face!

108
00:10:19,285 --> 00:10:21,868
Get into uniform, ready to report.
Fall out.

109
00:10:38,555 --> 00:10:40,888
I bet you a place like this
gets you in good condition.

110
00:10:40,974 --> 00:10:42,715
You have to be
for the long marches.

111
00:10:42,809 --> 00:10:45,051
I'm gonna get in
the cavalry and ride.

112
00:10:45,562 --> 00:10:47,599
No cavalry for me.

113
00:10:47,689 --> 00:10:49,976
Infantry's where
you see the fighting.

114
00:10:50,567 --> 00:10:52,809
Where are all the guns?
That's what I want to know.

115
00:10:52,902 --> 00:10:54,689
Oh, you don't get a gun
for a long while yet.

116
00:10:54,946 --> 00:10:58,360
Well, if I'm gonna bump off the
enemy, I gotta have some practice.

117
00:10:58,449 --> 00:10:59,610
Ow!

118
00:11:00,451 --> 00:11:02,568
Bayonet drill.
That's what I want.

119
00:11:05,748 --> 00:11:08,240
You won a medal
that time, Mueller.

120
00:11:08,418 --> 00:11:11,411
You wait. In about a month,
I'll be covered with them.

121
00:11:12,589 --> 00:11:14,501
Say, keep your boots
out of my face.

122
00:11:14,591 --> 00:11:17,755
Why, it's an honor to have
those boots in your face.

123
00:11:17,927 --> 00:11:21,591
They're the best pair in the army.
My uncle gave them to me.

124
00:11:21,848 --> 00:11:24,431
Just look at that
special imported leather.

125
00:11:24,767 --> 00:11:27,601
Put them anyplace you like,
except in my face.

126
00:11:28,104 --> 00:11:30,767
Not even a kitchen
maid'll look at me in this.

127
00:11:31,816 --> 00:11:32,806
Attention!

128
00:11:35,612 --> 00:11:37,854
Well, for the love of...
It's Himmelstoss!

129
00:11:37,947 --> 00:11:39,028
So it is.

130
00:11:39,115 --> 00:11:40,447
And all dressed up.

131
00:11:40,742 --> 00:11:41,858
Hello, Himmie.

132
00:11:41,951 --> 00:11:44,659
You didn't think you'd see
me again so soon, did you?

133
00:11:46,664 --> 00:11:47,654
You see my rank?

134
00:11:47,749 --> 00:11:49,206
Sure.

135
00:11:49,292 --> 00:11:50,954
Fall back, then!

136
00:11:51,085 --> 00:11:52,826
Himmelstoss, we certainly
are glad to see you.

137
00:11:52,921 --> 00:11:54,037
What did you say?

138
00:11:54,130 --> 00:11:55,837
- I was going to say...
- Never mind!

139
00:11:55,924 --> 00:11:57,210
What's the matter
with you, Himmelstoss?

140
00:11:57,300 --> 00:11:59,883
When you address your
superior officer, say "sir."

141
00:11:59,969 --> 00:12:01,335
Where'd he get
such a nice uniform?

142
00:12:01,429 --> 00:12:02,715
Will there be any
mail for us, Himmie?

143
00:12:02,805 --> 00:12:03,795
Quiet!

144
00:12:03,890 --> 00:12:05,176
My dear fellow, you're shouting.

145
00:12:05,266 --> 00:12:07,553
Come on, Himmelstoss.
We know you.

146
00:12:07,644 --> 00:12:09,476
Take off the false whiskers.

147
00:12:10,980 --> 00:12:12,141
I believe you mean it.

148
00:12:12,232 --> 00:12:14,064
You'll find out that I mean it.

149
00:12:14,150 --> 00:12:15,937
But only three days ago
you were our postman.

150
00:12:16,027 --> 00:12:17,143
Silence!

151
00:12:18,321 --> 00:12:19,903
Come back here!

152
00:12:24,869 --> 00:12:26,280
Line up!

153
00:12:26,996 --> 00:12:30,615
Line up! Get in some kind of a line!
Don't even think about it.

154
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,583
All of you! Line up, I say!

155
00:12:46,182 --> 00:12:47,172
Hmm.

156
00:12:49,435 --> 00:12:51,677
What a pretty sight that is.

157
00:12:52,105 --> 00:12:54,597
Have you never heard
of standing in line?

158
00:12:54,899 --> 00:12:56,561
You make a fine mess of it.

159
00:12:56,651 --> 00:12:58,813
Well, I'll have to teach you.

160
00:12:59,028 --> 00:13:01,441
We'll spend
the whole day on it, huh?

161
00:13:02,824 --> 00:13:05,817
You may be stupid,
but I'm used to that.

162
00:13:05,910 --> 00:13:09,529
And then there'll be
plenty of other things, too.

163
00:13:09,622 --> 00:13:11,705
Oh, I'll not neglect you.

164
00:13:12,959 --> 00:13:13,949
Hmm.

165
00:13:14,711 --> 00:13:17,670
You're not much to begin
with, but I'll do my best.

166
00:13:19,632 --> 00:13:23,216
I see that we have come here
with a slight misunderstanding,

167
00:13:23,303 --> 00:13:26,046
and we'll correct that,
too, won't we, huh?

168
00:13:26,806 --> 00:13:30,846
And the first thing to do is to
forget everything you ever knew.

169
00:13:30,935 --> 00:13:33,598
Everything you ever learned,
forget! See?

170
00:13:34,522 --> 00:13:37,936
Forget what you've been and what
you think you're going to be.

171
00:13:38,067 --> 00:13:40,935
You're going to be soldiers,
and that's all!

172
00:13:41,446 --> 00:13:44,905
I'll take the mother's milk out of you.
I'll make you hard-boiled.

173
00:13:44,991 --> 00:13:47,950
I'll make soldiers
out of you or kill you!

174
00:13:48,661 --> 00:13:51,745
Now, salute!

175
00:13:56,502 --> 00:13:58,835
Attention!

176
00:14:04,385 --> 00:14:07,549
Detachment, lie down!

177
00:14:07,638 --> 00:14:09,049
Down!

178
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,306
Head down!

179
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:20,857
Keep your head down, Bäumer!

180
00:14:24,155 --> 00:14:26,738
Detachment, get up!

181
00:14:28,785 --> 00:14:30,196
Advance!

182
00:14:39,670 --> 00:14:41,002
Now, sing!

183
00:14:49,514 --> 00:14:52,006
Do you call that singing?

184
00:14:52,100 --> 00:14:54,387
Detachment, halt!

185
00:14:58,398 --> 00:15:01,562
So, we have no spirit, huh?

186
00:15:02,276 --> 00:15:04,188
We are in no mood
for recreation.

187
00:15:04,278 --> 00:15:06,144
Work is what we want. Good!

188
00:15:06,823 --> 00:15:09,110
Then we'll go back to work.

189
00:15:14,288 --> 00:15:17,702
Detachment, lie down!

190
00:15:19,085 --> 00:15:20,917
Keep your head down.

191
00:15:23,923 --> 00:15:25,710
Now, sing!

192
00:15:56,581 --> 00:15:58,413
Men, halt!

193
00:15:58,958 --> 00:16:00,665
Order, arms!

194
00:16:02,462 --> 00:16:05,330
Inspection at 3:00. Dismissed!

195
00:16:11,304 --> 00:16:14,888
Oh, that swine! That means
we get no time off.

196
00:16:14,974 --> 00:16:17,842
It will take four hours
to get ready for inspection.

197
00:16:18,144 --> 00:16:19,680
I'd like to know
what's in his mind.

198
00:16:19,770 --> 00:16:20,806
He hasn't got any!

199
00:16:20,897 --> 00:16:22,889
I'm gonna cut him open
sometime and find out.

200
00:16:22,982 --> 00:16:25,144
He's too thick-skinned.
He won't cut.

201
00:16:25,610 --> 00:16:28,478
This is the fourth time he's made
me disappoint that poor girl.

202
00:16:31,532 --> 00:16:33,148
Arms!

203
00:16:33,242 --> 00:16:35,234
Order, arms!

204
00:16:35,703 --> 00:16:37,569
Left shoulder, arms!

205
00:16:38,581 --> 00:16:40,573
Squad, right.
To the right, march!

206
00:16:40,666 --> 00:16:44,000
Left, left, left, left.

207
00:16:49,967 --> 00:16:52,755
Column, left, march!

208
00:16:52,929 --> 00:16:54,215
Left, hut...

209
00:16:55,598 --> 00:16:57,635
Squad, left march!

210
00:17:00,269 --> 00:17:02,932
Forward, march! Left.

211
00:17:05,274 --> 00:17:08,233
Detachment, halt!

212
00:17:08,945 --> 00:17:10,811
Present arms!

213
00:17:13,658 --> 00:17:15,240
Himmelstoss.

214
00:17:17,954 --> 00:17:20,537
Excellent work. They're
going up front tomorrow.

215
00:17:20,623 --> 00:17:22,785
I recommend leave till midnight.

216
00:17:22,875 --> 00:17:24,241
Very good, sir.

217
00:17:26,587 --> 00:17:28,374
Left shoulders, arms!

218
00:17:28,464 --> 00:17:33,630
Forward march. Left,
left, straight ahead!

219
00:17:33,719 --> 00:17:35,130
Now, left.

220
00:17:39,308 --> 00:17:40,424
We're clear.

221
00:17:48,067 --> 00:17:50,901
Left, left, left.

222
00:17:50,987 --> 00:17:54,276
Detachment, lie down!

223
00:17:55,950 --> 00:17:57,816
Crawl forward!

224
00:18:03,165 --> 00:18:06,579
He spoiled our leave. I'll
never forgive him for that.

225
00:18:06,669 --> 00:18:08,456
The rat!

226
00:18:08,546 --> 00:18:10,754
Leave till midnight.

227
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,457
It'll take till midnight
to dry our clothes.

228
00:18:14,802 --> 00:18:16,168
There goes the filthy ape now.

229
00:18:18,014 --> 00:18:20,506
While we slave over this mud, he
goes off to have a few drinks.

230
00:18:21,350 --> 00:18:24,263
Someday I'm going to take
one smack at him, just one.

231
00:18:24,353 --> 00:18:28,267
Me, too. That's gonna be my
life's work from now on.

232
00:18:28,357 --> 00:18:31,441
Why only one?
I'm gonna take several.

233
00:18:31,527 --> 00:18:34,861
I might even kick him when he's down.
I feel mean.

234
00:18:36,282 --> 00:18:37,773
What are you doing?

235
00:18:37,867 --> 00:18:39,199
You're not going
to desert, are you?

236
00:18:39,285 --> 00:18:40,492
What?

237
00:18:47,209 --> 00:18:49,952
Listen. I've got an idea.

238
00:19:01,140 --> 00:19:03,473
Crawl forward. Lie down.

239
00:19:14,362 --> 00:19:16,524
Lie down. Crawl forward.

240
00:19:19,241 --> 00:19:20,698
What?

241
00:19:41,889 --> 00:19:43,175
Here comes an officer.

242
00:19:45,559 --> 00:19:47,221
Get him out of here.

243
00:21:00,634 --> 00:21:01,920
Cover!

244
00:21:23,032 --> 00:21:24,944
Paul, are you all right?

245
00:21:25,034 --> 00:21:25,990
You all right?

246
00:21:26,076 --> 00:21:27,942
Behn! Behn!

247
00:21:30,790 --> 00:21:33,783
Behn! Come on!

248
00:21:33,876 --> 00:21:37,119
Behn, come on. You fool, Behn.

249
00:21:37,213 --> 00:21:39,705
Get up! Come on.

250
00:22:04,406 --> 00:22:06,398
Sounds like more
replacements coming in.

251
00:22:06,492 --> 00:22:09,576
Yeah. Tjaden must have
gone home for that wood.

252
00:22:16,836 --> 00:22:20,329
Here's some more,
fresh from the turnip patch.

253
00:22:20,506 --> 00:22:22,668
I suppose this is where we bunk.

254
00:22:44,446 --> 00:22:47,189
That's me, "I. Westhus,"

255
00:22:47,283 --> 00:22:48,899
and this is where he lives.

256
00:22:49,493 --> 00:22:50,574
I didn't know.

257
00:22:50,953 --> 00:22:52,194
Well, you know now.

258
00:22:53,038 --> 00:22:54,574
Yes. Yes, of course.

259
00:23:01,589 --> 00:23:03,376
It's all right.

260
00:23:03,465 --> 00:23:04,797
Here's a bunk, Paul.

261
00:23:11,599 --> 00:23:12,555
When did we eat last?

262
00:23:12,641 --> 00:23:13,757
Don't remind me.

263
00:23:13,851 --> 00:23:15,433
I was fine until you spoke.

264
00:23:15,519 --> 00:23:16,885
Where are we, anyway?

265
00:23:16,979 --> 00:23:19,392
I don't know. The name on the
railroad station's been shot off.

266
00:23:19,481 --> 00:23:21,393
Well, there must be
something to eat somewhere.

267
00:23:21,483 --> 00:23:23,224
I'll tell you what I'll do.

268
00:23:23,319 --> 00:23:25,185
I'll ask those fellows.

269
00:23:33,245 --> 00:23:36,659
Sorry to disturb you,
Mr. Westhus.

270
00:23:36,832 --> 00:23:41,076
Oh, meet Detering.
A better farmer never lived.

271
00:23:41,587 --> 00:23:42,623
And Mr. Tjaden.

272
00:23:42,713 --> 00:23:43,749
Sit down.

273
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,173
You see, we haven't
eaten since breakfast.

274
00:23:47,259 --> 00:23:49,171
We thought maybe you could tell
us what we ought to do about it.

275
00:23:49,261 --> 00:23:51,173
Eat without further delay.

276
00:23:54,391 --> 00:23:56,348
Well, what's funny about that?

277
00:23:57,019 --> 00:23:59,807
This is a bad town to bring
an appetite to, soldier.

278
00:23:59,897 --> 00:24:01,229
We've been here
since yesterday morning

279
00:24:01,315 --> 00:24:03,728
and we've been living on
baled hay and razor blades.

280
00:24:04,068 --> 00:24:07,436
We're willing to buy our food.
Where's the canteen?

281
00:24:08,864 --> 00:24:10,400
The only canteen
in these regions

282
00:24:10,491 --> 00:24:12,027
is out looking for supplies.

283
00:24:12,117 --> 00:24:13,483
Ever hear of Katczinsky?

284
00:24:13,577 --> 00:24:14,693
Who?

285
00:24:14,870 --> 00:24:17,578
Katczinsky. He's uncanny.

286
00:24:17,665 --> 00:24:21,284
If there's any food within 25 miles,
he'll be the one to get it.

287
00:24:27,549 --> 00:24:29,040
Hey!

288
00:24:46,110 --> 00:24:48,102
Whoa, whoa, whoa.

289
00:24:59,289 --> 00:25:01,155
Whoa, whoa, whoa.

290
00:25:04,837 --> 00:25:06,248
Attention!

291
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:12,750
What is this?

292
00:25:13,595 --> 00:25:16,178
Volunteers for
the future general staff.

293
00:25:19,351 --> 00:25:22,469
Sometime I'm gonna take
one of you volunteers apart

294
00:25:22,563 --> 00:25:26,182
and find out what makes you
leave school and join the Army.

295
00:25:27,192 --> 00:25:29,775
At ease.
This is no parade ground.

296
00:25:33,615 --> 00:25:35,322
- Hungry?
- Yes.

297
00:25:35,451 --> 00:25:38,865
Wait! Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
That's no invitation.

298
00:25:38,954 --> 00:25:40,035
Can you pay?

299
00:25:40,122 --> 00:25:42,205
Yeah, sure. I have some money.

300
00:25:42,291 --> 00:25:46,035
No, not money. That's
just pieces of paper.

301
00:25:46,795 --> 00:25:48,661
Have you got any
cigarettes, cigars,

302
00:25:48,797 --> 00:25:50,333
or soap, cognac...

303
00:25:50,424 --> 00:25:51,460
Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

304
00:25:51,550 --> 00:25:53,291
- Chewing tobacco?
- Yeah, yeah.

305
00:25:53,385 --> 00:25:54,421
- Hey, Kat!
- Yeah?

306
00:25:54,511 --> 00:25:56,969
Are you crazy? There ain't
enough here for us.

307
00:25:57,973 --> 00:25:59,930
I wish you three
would get bumped off.

308
00:26:00,017 --> 00:26:02,304
I'm tired of feeding
you for nothing.

309
00:26:02,436 --> 00:26:04,177
Bring everything you've got.

310
00:26:07,066 --> 00:26:08,056
I'm so hungry...

311
00:26:08,150 --> 00:26:09,231
I'd be glad to give you...

312
00:26:09,318 --> 00:26:10,479
Come on!

313
00:26:10,569 --> 00:26:12,401
Is this enough, sir?

314
00:26:27,252 --> 00:26:28,663
- Kat!
- Hmm?

315
00:26:28,754 --> 00:26:29,995
You've got the
wiring detail tonight.

316
00:26:30,089 --> 00:26:31,079
Where?

317
00:26:31,173 --> 00:26:32,414
Past the graveyard.

318
00:26:32,508 --> 00:26:33,669
With this bunch?

319
00:26:33,759 --> 00:26:36,627
It's quiet tonight. You can
teach them a couple of things.

320
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:38,461
Thanks. I'd rather do it alone.

321
00:26:38,555 --> 00:26:40,922
These babes get
killed off too fast.

322
00:26:41,016 --> 00:26:42,473
Well, the lorry's waiting.

323
00:26:42,559 --> 00:26:44,425
Last night I was
too hungry to sleep

324
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:46,432
and tonight, when I get the
wrinkles out of my gut,

325
00:26:46,522 --> 00:26:48,184
they think up wiring duty.

326
00:26:48,273 --> 00:26:51,016
Well, here's
your chance, heroes.

327
00:26:51,110 --> 00:26:53,147
For the fatherland!

328
00:26:53,237 --> 00:26:56,071
Come on, get your stuff
and let's get out of here.

329
00:27:18,011 --> 00:27:19,422
Is that any way to drive?

330
00:27:19,513 --> 00:27:21,505
Let him drive any way he wants.

331
00:27:21,598 --> 00:27:25,057
Suppose he breaks your arm.
You get sent home, don't you?

332
00:27:25,144 --> 00:27:27,887
A lot better than
having a hole in your guts.

333
00:27:43,662 --> 00:27:46,655
If there's any of you left, I'll
pick you up in the morning.

334
00:27:46,748 --> 00:27:49,536
Well, if that ride you gave us
didn't kill us, nothing will.

335
00:27:49,626 --> 00:27:52,915
And be on time. I don't
want to miss my breakfast.

336
00:28:11,106 --> 00:28:12,096
Yeah?

337
00:28:12,482 --> 00:28:14,815
You better wait
for your army, Papa.

338
00:28:16,653 --> 00:28:19,691
Here, here.
Don't be so backward.

339
00:28:20,199 --> 00:28:24,284
Listen, children. All we got to
do is to string a little wire.

340
00:28:24,369 --> 00:28:27,862
We pick it up at the dump and
carry it to where we need it.

341
00:28:28,373 --> 00:28:30,490
Now, you're gonna
see some shellfire,

342
00:28:30,584 --> 00:28:32,667
and you're gonna be scared, see?

343
00:28:38,550 --> 00:28:40,712
It's all right, boy. Get up.

344
00:28:46,642 --> 00:28:48,759
Here. Never mind.

345
00:28:48,852 --> 00:28:52,721
It's happened to better men than
you, and it's happened to me.

346
00:28:53,482 --> 00:28:57,317
When we come back, I'll get you
all some nice clean underwear.

347
00:29:01,156 --> 00:29:03,773
That kind of shell you don't
have to pay much attention to.

348
00:29:03,867 --> 00:29:06,029
Those big fellows
just make a lot of noise

349
00:29:06,119 --> 00:29:08,827
and land about five
miles behind the line.

350
00:29:10,332 --> 00:29:13,916
The things we've got to watch
out for are the light ones.

351
00:29:14,002 --> 00:29:15,834
They don't give you
much warning.

352
00:29:15,921 --> 00:29:19,631
They go "waah zing."

353
00:29:19,716 --> 00:29:22,550
And when you hear that, down!

354
00:29:24,221 --> 00:29:26,213
Mother Earth.

355
00:29:26,765 --> 00:29:29,098
Press yourselves down upon her.

356
00:29:29,685 --> 00:29:32,268
Bury yourselves deep into her.

357
00:29:34,523 --> 00:29:36,185
Just keep your eyes on me.

358
00:29:36,275 --> 00:29:38,767
When you see me flop, you flop.

359
00:29:38,860 --> 00:29:41,694
Only, try to beat me to it.

360
00:30:35,917 --> 00:30:37,203
Now, listen.

361
00:30:38,253 --> 00:30:40,085
I'll show you how it's done.

362
00:30:41,590 --> 00:30:44,754
Give me a couple of those.
That's to kill the noise.

363
00:30:44,885 --> 00:30:46,217
Tjaden.

364
00:31:21,671 --> 00:31:22,912
See that?

365
00:31:23,298 --> 00:31:24,254
What's that mean?

366
00:31:24,341 --> 00:31:25,582
Bombardment.

367
00:32:01,294 --> 00:32:02,751
My eyes!

368
00:32:04,881 --> 00:32:06,088
I'm blind!

369
00:32:06,174 --> 00:32:08,006
I can't see! God!

370
00:32:08,093 --> 00:32:10,255
My eyes! I can't see!

371
00:32:12,848 --> 00:32:13,929
Oh, God!

372
00:32:16,059 --> 00:32:19,177
- It's Behn! It's Behn!
- I can't see!

373
00:32:28,989 --> 00:32:31,276
- I'll go get him...
- You'll get killed!

374
00:32:31,533 --> 00:32:33,115
- Leave him.
- What?

375
00:32:34,453 --> 00:32:36,069
- Let me...
- Lay down and stay there!

376
00:32:36,163 --> 00:32:37,153
You'll get your head shot off.

377
00:32:47,257 --> 00:32:48,338
He's dead.

378
00:32:49,551 --> 00:32:50,632
He's dead.

379
00:32:50,719 --> 00:32:51,835
Why did you risk your
life bringing him in?

380
00:32:51,928 --> 00:32:53,419
But it's Behn.

381
00:32:54,556 --> 00:32:55,546
My friend.

382
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:57,848
It's a corpse,
no matter who it is.

383
00:33:00,979 --> 00:33:03,392
Now, don't any of you
ever do that again.

384
00:33:03,607 --> 00:33:05,348
Put him over there.

385
00:33:29,090 --> 00:33:30,171
Mind the wire.

386
00:33:30,258 --> 00:33:31,590
Mind the wire.

387
00:33:34,679 --> 00:33:37,797
Mind the wire.

388
00:33:41,269 --> 00:33:44,353
Mind the wire.

389
00:33:44,439 --> 00:33:46,101
All right, come on.

390
00:33:50,946 --> 00:33:54,110
All right, come on. Get your
packs and fall in. Hurry up.

391
00:33:54,616 --> 00:33:57,529
Come on. Hurry up. Come on.
Make it snappy.

392
00:33:57,619 --> 00:33:59,451
Get your packs and fall in.

393
00:34:00,789 --> 00:34:03,031
Kat, what are we doing?
What's happening?

394
00:34:03,124 --> 00:34:04,615
You heard him. Orders to march.

395
00:34:05,126 --> 00:34:06,367
But where to, for the love of...

396
00:34:06,461 --> 00:34:07,872
Another party.

397
00:34:09,297 --> 00:34:12,335
And this one is gonna
last a long time.

398
00:34:17,097 --> 00:34:18,338
Come on.

399
00:34:19,641 --> 00:34:21,098
Here we go.

400
00:34:24,104 --> 00:34:26,141
Company, attention!

401
00:34:27,023 --> 00:34:28,935
Shoulder, arms!

402
00:34:31,194 --> 00:34:33,311
March right, march!

403
00:34:57,012 --> 00:34:58,253
Take your hands off that!

404
00:34:58,346 --> 00:34:59,336
Queen takes it!

405
00:34:59,431 --> 00:35:01,343
Well, if you think
that's a queen, look again.

406
00:35:01,766 --> 00:35:03,473
It's a jack.

407
00:35:04,311 --> 00:35:05,267
Yeah.

408
00:35:05,353 --> 00:35:07,561
Honest, these cards
all look alike.

409
00:35:09,649 --> 00:35:11,766
It's too noisy! I can't play.

410
00:35:12,527 --> 00:35:14,393
- I suppose your delicate nerves...
- Get up.

411
00:35:14,487 --> 00:35:15,944
...can't stand it.

412
00:35:21,995 --> 00:35:25,329
That's Oscar. The son of a...

413
00:35:27,334 --> 00:35:28,825
Look at that!

414
00:35:30,128 --> 00:35:32,962
Don't be so snooty. You may
wish you had this back.

415
00:35:33,298 --> 00:35:35,085
About two more days of this

416
00:35:36,343 --> 00:35:38,130
and this rat-bitten end
of a piece of bread's

417
00:35:38,219 --> 00:35:41,087
gonna taste just like
a hunk of fruitcake.

418
00:35:43,516 --> 00:35:46,099
It wouldn't... It wouldn't
last two more days, would it?

419
00:35:46,186 --> 00:35:48,803
Didn't I tell you this
was gonna be a bad one?

420
00:35:49,314 --> 00:35:51,476
I don't mind the days so much.

421
00:35:51,566 --> 00:35:53,899
It's keeping up
all night that's...

422
00:35:54,778 --> 00:35:56,940
Two more days makes a week, kid.

423
00:35:57,030 --> 00:35:59,192
Then you can say
you've been under fire.

424
00:35:59,282 --> 00:36:01,069
You're not scared, are you?

425
00:36:01,576 --> 00:36:03,818
No. I was just asking,
that's all.

426
00:36:09,584 --> 00:36:11,246
Want to play some more?

427
00:36:11,336 --> 00:36:12,372
Do you?

428
00:36:16,216 --> 00:36:17,297
Sure.

429
00:36:17,425 --> 00:36:18,541
All right. My deal.

430
00:36:20,929 --> 00:36:23,888
You better get your boot
back before Oscar eats that.

431
00:36:25,809 --> 00:36:27,596
The kid's all right.

432
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:34,732
Behn.

433
00:36:36,277 --> 00:36:37,393
Behn.

434
00:36:40,573 --> 00:36:43,065
Yeah, yeah. Let him
sleep. He's dreaming. - Behn.

435
00:36:44,077 --> 00:36:47,241
Oh, God.
Can't you see it's Behn?

436
00:36:47,330 --> 00:36:49,743
He didn't want to come to war.

437
00:36:50,417 --> 00:36:53,034
No, no.

438
00:36:53,503 --> 00:36:54,869
It isn't Behn.

439
00:36:56,089 --> 00:36:57,705
It isn't Behn!

440
00:36:58,925 --> 00:37:01,963
It's Kemmerick! It's me!

441
00:37:02,053 --> 00:37:04,841
Shut up, will you? It's bad
enough in here as it is.

442
00:37:04,931 --> 00:37:06,092
Every...

443
00:37:06,516 --> 00:37:08,052
Everything's all right, Franz.

444
00:37:08,143 --> 00:37:09,304
You're dreaming.

445
00:37:10,103 --> 00:37:11,514
I see something.

446
00:37:11,604 --> 00:37:12,970
You're just dreaming, I guess.

447
00:37:18,445 --> 00:37:19,936
- Attention!
- At ease.

448
00:37:21,448 --> 00:37:23,189
The barrage is getting worse.

449
00:37:26,119 --> 00:37:28,202
Men in two more dugouts, gone.

450
00:37:33,251 --> 00:37:37,461
However, we'll do our best to get
some food up here by evening.

451
00:37:59,569 --> 00:38:01,435
Stop!

452
00:38:11,790 --> 00:38:13,156
Let me out.

453
00:38:15,710 --> 00:38:16,791
What did you do that for?

454
00:38:16,878 --> 00:38:18,835
Shut up! Grab him.

455
00:38:19,756 --> 00:38:21,338
- No.
- Now hold him.

456
00:38:44,739 --> 00:38:46,446
You all right now?

457
00:38:46,908 --> 00:38:48,024
I think so.

458
00:38:52,247 --> 00:38:54,284
I couldn't hold out much longer.

459
00:39:14,811 --> 00:39:15,972
Let me out!

460
00:39:17,438 --> 00:39:19,179
It's going to kill me!

461
00:39:20,733 --> 00:39:22,144
Very good.

462
00:39:28,616 --> 00:39:31,199
Oh, my God, it's Franz!
This is terrible!

463
00:39:36,791 --> 00:39:38,202
No, don't. He's been
hit in the stomach.

464
00:39:38,293 --> 00:39:39,659
He can't have anything to drink.

465
00:39:39,794 --> 00:39:41,285
Get a stretcher.

466
00:39:44,215 --> 00:39:46,298
Where'd they get you, Kemmerick?

467
00:39:53,808 --> 00:39:54,798
Here it is, sir.

468
00:39:54,893 --> 00:39:56,134
Take his head.

469
00:40:00,148 --> 00:40:01,980
All right. Take him out.

470
00:40:05,820 --> 00:40:07,061
Is it serious, sir?

471
00:40:07,155 --> 00:40:08,316
I'm not sure.

472
00:40:09,824 --> 00:40:11,440
Tell the others he's all right.

473
00:40:11,534 --> 00:40:12,524
Yes, sir.

474
00:40:31,512 --> 00:40:34,255
If we're going to fight,
why don't we fight?

475
00:40:34,349 --> 00:40:36,056
Why don't we go over?

476
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:41,682
You could go crazy staying here.

477
00:40:44,859 --> 00:40:46,646
Let's do something!

478
00:40:47,028 --> 00:40:48,109
Let's go after them!

479
00:40:48,196 --> 00:40:49,357
Sit down!

480
00:40:53,201 --> 00:40:54,658
If that cook of
ours had any guts,

481
00:40:54,744 --> 00:40:57,077
he'd try to bring
something through.

482
00:40:58,373 --> 00:41:01,491
He's so far behind the lines
he can't hear the shooting!

483
00:41:02,043 --> 00:41:04,330
Here's Kat. Get anything?

484
00:41:04,420 --> 00:41:05,831
Any luck?

485
00:41:05,922 --> 00:41:07,333
We'll have to split
this up among us.

486
00:41:07,423 --> 00:41:08,959
Something to eat!

487
00:41:16,724 --> 00:41:18,010
We need butter, too.

488
00:41:18,101 --> 00:41:22,061
Yes. And dessert. And a
feather bed to sleep on.

489
00:41:31,906 --> 00:41:33,147
- Rats!
- Rats!

490
00:41:33,241 --> 00:41:35,403
Rats. Rats.

491
00:41:37,787 --> 00:41:39,244
Get out of the way!

492
00:41:56,055 --> 00:41:57,341
That's enough.

493
00:41:57,432 --> 00:41:58,798
That's enough, boys.

494
00:42:17,618 --> 00:42:19,075
What's that?

495
00:42:20,580 --> 00:42:21,536
Come on!

496
00:42:21,622 --> 00:42:23,284
Come on! Grab your rifles!

497
00:42:25,626 --> 00:42:26,912
Come on!

498
00:42:27,295 --> 00:42:28,411
Come along.

499
00:42:28,588 --> 00:42:29,624
Come on, everybody.

500
00:42:30,590 --> 00:42:31,876
Here they come.

501
00:42:31,966 --> 00:42:33,502
Get your grenades here.

502
00:42:33,593 --> 00:42:34,629
In this space.

503
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:36,802
Hurry up. This is an attack.
Come on, hurry up.

504
00:44:29,417 --> 00:44:31,079
Come on!

505
00:46:33,624 --> 00:46:35,707
Aim. Fire.

506
00:46:52,351 --> 00:46:54,263
Here you go, troops.

507
00:48:04,882 --> 00:48:07,841
Let's go! Let's go! Let's move!

508
00:49:08,112 --> 00:49:12,152
We can't hold this position, men.
Back to your own lines!

509
00:49:13,242 --> 00:49:15,154
We've got
a lift from cavalry.

510
00:49:15,369 --> 00:49:16,610
Now, then.

511
00:50:35,115 --> 00:50:37,027
- Fill it up.
- And hurry up.

512
00:50:37,117 --> 00:50:38,324
I've got other things to do.

513
00:50:38,410 --> 00:50:40,493
I've been waiting
for this for three weeks.

514
00:50:40,579 --> 00:50:42,787
When they all get here.

515
00:50:45,125 --> 00:50:46,661
What do you want?

516
00:50:46,752 --> 00:50:49,290
Beans, you homely-looking
son of a frog's leg.

517
00:50:49,380 --> 00:50:51,121
What do you think I want?

518
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:52,876
We're hungry.

519
00:50:56,804 --> 00:50:59,888
Shut up! I'll feed you
when you're all here.

520
00:50:59,974 --> 00:51:01,465
We're all here now.

521
00:51:01,559 --> 00:51:04,176
Only half the company's here.
Get the rest.

522
00:51:04,270 --> 00:51:05,386
Wake 'em up.

523
00:51:05,479 --> 00:51:06,845
Yeah.

524
00:51:06,939 --> 00:51:10,307
I wish I could wake 'em up.
There's 80 of us left.

525
00:51:10,401 --> 00:51:13,940
The rest is in dressing
stations or pushing up daisies.

526
00:51:14,071 --> 00:51:17,781
Eighty? And I cooked for 150!

527
00:51:18,367 --> 00:51:21,656
All right. We'll have enough for once.
Come on, dish out!

528
00:51:22,413 --> 00:51:26,657
You mean, you've cooked beans for
150, and you've got bread for 150,

529
00:51:26,750 --> 00:51:30,414
and sausage for 150,
and tobacco for 150?

530
00:51:30,504 --> 00:51:34,088
Everything! It's all wrong.
I should have been notified.

531
00:51:34,174 --> 00:51:37,633
What a feast!
Everyone gets two issues.

532
00:51:38,387 --> 00:51:40,379
Hey, get back in line!
Get back in line!

533
00:51:40,472 --> 00:51:43,010
Oh, no! That won't do.

534
00:51:43,142 --> 00:51:46,431
I can't give 80 men
what's meant for 150.

535
00:51:48,314 --> 00:51:49,850
Listen.

536
00:51:50,441 --> 00:51:53,809
You drew rations for the
2nd Company, didn't you?

537
00:51:53,902 --> 00:51:55,143
Yeah.

538
00:51:55,487 --> 00:51:57,854
All right.
We're the 2nd Company.

539
00:51:59,241 --> 00:52:00,732
I've got my orders.

540
00:52:00,826 --> 00:52:01,942
Kat's right.

541
00:52:02,036 --> 00:52:03,572
We're the 2nd Company.

542
00:52:03,662 --> 00:52:05,449
And if only half of us get
back, that's our good luck.

543
00:52:05,539 --> 00:52:06,620
Come on. Dish it out.

544
00:52:06,707 --> 00:52:07,788
Come on!

545
00:52:08,083 --> 00:52:09,073
No!

546
00:52:09,168 --> 00:52:10,704
Hey!

547
00:52:11,295 --> 00:52:14,959
You're the yellowest baboon
that ever drew a cook wagon

548
00:52:15,049 --> 00:52:17,257
and you're scared it shows.

549
00:52:17,343 --> 00:52:20,461
All we want to hear out of
you is one more little yip

550
00:52:20,554 --> 00:52:23,046
and we'll cut you up
and eat you raw.

551
00:52:23,223 --> 00:52:26,136
Why, you keep your kitchen
so far back of the lines

552
00:52:26,226 --> 00:52:29,719
we never get anything to eat until
it's cold and we're asleep!

553
00:52:29,813 --> 00:52:34,524
Now, you low-down rat, get out or
we wreck the joint, so help us.

554
00:52:35,152 --> 00:52:37,064
Come on! Give us our food.

555
00:52:38,405 --> 00:52:39,612
Attention!

556
00:52:46,330 --> 00:52:47,992
At ease.

557
00:52:48,791 --> 00:52:50,032
What's going on here?

558
00:52:50,125 --> 00:52:53,744
He's cooked for 150, sir, and
he only wants to give us half.

559
00:52:57,633 --> 00:52:58,669
Looks pretty good.

560
00:52:58,759 --> 00:52:59,715
Yes, sir.

561
00:52:59,802 --> 00:53:02,465
Serve the whole issue!
The men can use it.

562
00:53:02,554 --> 00:53:04,261
Yes, sir.

563
00:53:04,348 --> 00:53:05,680
And bring me a plate, too.

564
00:53:05,766 --> 00:53:06,927
Yes, sir.

565
00:53:08,519 --> 00:53:11,102
All right. Take it all.
Take everything.

566
00:53:11,188 --> 00:53:13,555
Give 'em honey.
Give 'em what they want.

567
00:53:14,858 --> 00:53:17,441
Fill it up! Fill it up!
Fill it up!

568
00:53:20,698 --> 00:53:22,109
Anybody else?

569
00:53:22,199 --> 00:53:24,441
All I want is to get going.

570
00:53:56,817 --> 00:53:57,898
Don't mind me.

571
00:53:57,985 --> 00:54:00,398
Oh, that's all right.
Don't mention it.

572
00:54:05,033 --> 00:54:06,444
You know,

573
00:54:07,786 --> 00:54:10,073
I could do with some more beans.

574
00:54:10,164 --> 00:54:12,656
Go help yourself.
There's more over there.

575
00:54:17,671 --> 00:54:19,253
It's too far.

576
00:54:22,634 --> 00:54:25,502
I wonder, when are we
going back to the front?

577
00:54:26,054 --> 00:54:27,044
Tomorrow.

578
00:54:30,976 --> 00:54:34,265
It's enough to take away
a man's appetite.

579
00:54:34,855 --> 00:54:37,063
You know, if they're gonna
march us in again tomorrow,

580
00:54:37,149 --> 00:54:38,640
we ought to go see
how Kemmerick is.

581
00:54:38,734 --> 00:54:40,191
- That's a good idea.
- Let's do that.

582
00:54:40,277 --> 00:54:41,518
How far is the dressing station?

583
00:54:41,612 --> 00:54:43,069
About two miles.

584
00:54:43,739 --> 00:54:45,446
We could take his things to him.

585
00:54:45,532 --> 00:54:47,023
Good.

586
00:54:47,117 --> 00:54:50,781
It seemed rotten to think of a
thing like that happening to him,

587
00:54:50,871 --> 00:54:52,737
a nice fellow like Kemmerick.

588
00:54:52,831 --> 00:54:55,869
The French certainly deserve to be
punished for starting this war.

589
00:54:55,959 --> 00:54:58,042
Everybody says
it's somebody else.

590
00:54:58,629 --> 00:55:01,212
Well, how do they start a war?

591
00:55:01,298 --> 00:55:03,756
Well, one country
offends another.

592
00:55:04,218 --> 00:55:06,585
How could one country
offend another?

593
00:55:06,678 --> 00:55:08,795
You mean, there's a
mountain over in Germany

594
00:55:08,889 --> 00:55:10,801
gets mad at a field
over in France?

595
00:55:12,059 --> 00:55:15,177
Well, stupid, one
people offends another.

596
00:55:15,896 --> 00:55:18,809
Oh, if that's it,
I shouldn't be here at all.

597
00:55:18,899 --> 00:55:20,265
I don't feel offended.

598
00:55:21,902 --> 00:55:24,736
It don't apply
to tramps like you.

599
00:55:25,155 --> 00:55:27,192
Good. Then I can be
going home right away.

600
00:55:27,282 --> 00:55:28,272
You just try it.

601
00:55:28,367 --> 00:55:30,279
Yeah. You want to get shot?

602
00:55:31,745 --> 00:55:32,986
The Kaiser and me...

603
00:55:35,916 --> 00:55:39,830
Me and the Kaiser felt
just alike about this war.

604
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:43,584
We didn't either of us want
any war, so I'm going home.

605
00:55:43,674 --> 00:55:44,835
He's there already.

606
00:55:44,925 --> 00:55:48,259
Somebody must have wanted it.
Maybe it was the English.

607
00:55:48,679 --> 00:55:51,547
No, I don't want to
shoot any Englishmen.

608
00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:54,348
I never saw one
till I came up here.

609
00:55:54,434 --> 00:55:56,596
And I suppose most of
them never saw a German

610
00:55:56,687 --> 00:55:58,428
till they came up here.

611
00:55:58,522 --> 00:56:01,185
No, I'm sure they
weren't asked about it.

612
00:56:01,275 --> 00:56:02,311
No.

613
00:56:02,985 --> 00:56:06,524
Well, it must be doing
somebody some good.

614
00:56:07,030 --> 00:56:08,271
Not me and the Kaiser.

615
00:56:08,365 --> 00:56:10,948
I think maybe
the Kaiser wanted a war.

616
00:56:11,952 --> 00:56:13,614
You leave us out of this.

617
00:56:16,290 --> 00:56:20,204
I don't see that. The Kaiser's
got everything he needs.

618
00:56:20,544 --> 00:56:22,410
Well, he never had a war before.

619
00:56:22,504 --> 00:56:26,168
Every full-grown emperor needs
one war to make him famous.

620
00:56:26,300 --> 00:56:27,381
Why, that's history.

621
00:56:27,467 --> 00:56:29,174
Yeah, generals, too.
They need war.

622
00:56:29,303 --> 00:56:31,511
- And manufacturers. They get rich.
- Hmm.

623
00:56:31,597 --> 00:56:34,556
I think it's more
a kind of fever.

624
00:56:34,641 --> 00:56:39,477
Nobody wants it in particular and
then, all at once, here it is.

625
00:56:39,897 --> 00:56:44,312
We didn't want it. The English didn't
want it. And here we are fighting.

626
00:56:44,735 --> 00:56:47,478
I'll tell you how
it should all be done.

627
00:56:49,406 --> 00:56:51,773
Whenever there's
a big war coming on,

628
00:56:51,867 --> 00:56:54,405
you should rope off
a big field...

629
00:56:54,494 --> 00:56:55,575
And sell tickets.

630
00:56:55,662 --> 00:56:57,494
Yeah. And...

631
00:56:59,875 --> 00:57:01,491
And on the big day

632
00:57:01,585 --> 00:57:03,326
you should take all the kings

633
00:57:03,420 --> 00:57:06,379
and their cabinets
and their generals,

634
00:57:06,465 --> 00:57:08,673
put them in the center
dressed in their underpants

635
00:57:08,759 --> 00:57:11,251
and let them
fight it out with clubs.

636
00:57:11,345 --> 00:57:13,086
The best country wins.

637
00:57:15,223 --> 00:57:18,637
Well, now that Kat's settled
everything, let's go see Kemmerick.

638
00:57:18,727 --> 00:57:19,808
Might cheer him up.

639
00:57:19,895 --> 00:57:21,136
Something interesting
might happen on the way.

640
00:57:21,229 --> 00:57:25,314
Boys, me and the Kaiser want you
back in time to march tomorrow.

641
00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:27,187
Don't forget.

642
00:57:27,277 --> 00:57:28,267
We'll be back.

643
00:57:28,362 --> 00:57:29,478
Give the boy my regards.

644
00:57:38,205 --> 00:57:39,286
Whoa.

645
00:57:50,884 --> 00:57:52,546
Oh, there he is.

646
00:57:54,221 --> 00:57:55,883
- Hello, Kemmerick.
- How are you?

647
00:57:55,973 --> 00:57:57,259
How's it going?

648
00:57:57,349 --> 00:57:58,556
How are things going?

649
00:57:58,642 --> 00:58:00,474
Are they looking
after you all right?

650
00:58:00,560 --> 00:58:02,927
How are they treating you?
Franz?

651
00:58:03,897 --> 00:58:05,479
I'm all right.

652
00:58:06,984 --> 00:58:08,896
They're robbers here.

653
00:58:10,988 --> 00:58:12,229
Robbers.

654
00:58:14,783 --> 00:58:17,275
They stole my watch.

655
00:58:17,411 --> 00:58:20,119
I always told you nobody should
carry as good a watch as that.

656
00:58:20,247 --> 00:58:21,954
And they took it
while I was under ether.

657
00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:24,202
Franz. Franz.
You'll get it back.

658
00:58:25,585 --> 00:58:27,497
Do you feel all right?

659
00:58:29,464 --> 00:58:31,421
Just look at my hand, though.

660
00:58:31,508 --> 00:58:33,295
That's because
you lost so much blood.

661
00:58:33,385 --> 00:58:35,172
Just eat decently and
you'll get well again.

662
00:58:35,262 --> 00:58:36,252
Oh, no.

663
00:58:36,346 --> 00:58:40,761
Franz, you must eat. That's the main thing.
It looks good, too.

664
00:58:44,771 --> 00:58:48,014
I have such a terrible
pain in my foot.

665
00:58:49,985 --> 00:58:53,023
Every toe on
my right foot hurts.

666
00:58:57,367 --> 00:59:00,451
Well, how can your foot hurt
when your leg's been...

667
00:59:04,332 --> 00:59:06,119
Oh, I know what you mean!

668
00:59:06,835 --> 00:59:09,794
I know! I know now!

669
00:59:12,090 --> 00:59:14,127
They've cut my leg off.

670
00:59:16,053 --> 00:59:20,798
Why didn't they tell me?

671
00:59:20,891 --> 00:59:22,507
- Franz! Franz!
- ...they tell me.

672
00:59:22,601 --> 00:59:24,058
Now I can't walk anymore!

673
00:59:24,144 --> 00:59:28,104
Franz, you must be thankful that
you've come off with only that.

674
00:59:33,820 --> 00:59:36,483
I wanted to be a forester once.

675
00:59:37,657 --> 00:59:41,446
You can yet. They make artificial
legs that are wonderful.

676
00:59:42,329 --> 00:59:45,788
And you're through, too. You can go home.
Think of that.

677
00:59:46,750 --> 00:59:49,333
We brought your
things for you. See?

678
00:59:50,003 --> 00:59:51,960
Put them under the bed.

679
00:59:59,679 --> 01:00:02,092
That's a marvelous
pair of boots.

680
01:00:03,892 --> 01:00:05,724
Look at that leather.

681
01:00:05,811 --> 01:00:07,143
What comfort.

682
01:00:07,229 --> 01:00:09,186
I was just thinking.

683
01:00:12,359 --> 01:00:14,521
If you're not going to
be using these, Franz,

684
01:00:14,611 --> 01:00:16,318
why don't you
leave them with us?

685
01:00:18,532 --> 01:00:22,151
What good are they to you?
I can use 'em.

686
01:00:22,244 --> 01:00:25,112
My boots give me
blister after blister.

687
01:00:30,127 --> 01:00:32,244
Well, we'll be going, Franz.

688
01:00:32,337 --> 01:00:35,751
Oh, don't go. Stay just
a little while longer.

689
01:00:37,425 --> 01:00:38,836
I'll come right back.

690
01:00:38,927 --> 01:00:40,543
We'll be coming
soon again, Franz.

691
01:00:40,679 --> 01:00:42,591
- I know you'll be feeling better, Franz.
- Bye.

692
01:00:42,681 --> 01:00:43,762
Bye.

693
01:00:43,849 --> 01:00:44,965
Goodbye, Franz.

694
01:00:45,392 --> 01:00:47,304
You think he'll last
till after mess?

695
01:00:47,394 --> 01:00:48,350
You don't think...

696
01:00:48,436 --> 01:00:49,597
Done for.

697
01:00:52,482 --> 01:00:54,599
Boys, you go along.
I'll see you later.

698
01:00:54,734 --> 01:00:56,600
- Goodbye. All right, Paul.
- Goodbye, Paul.

699
01:01:00,407 --> 01:01:02,774
I'm sorry, Paul.

700
01:01:03,285 --> 01:01:06,619
I wouldn't touch a thing
of his if he could use it.

701
01:01:06,913 --> 01:01:10,998
I'd go barefoot over barbed wire
for him if it'd do him any good.

702
01:01:11,084 --> 01:01:14,327
Only why should some
orderly get those boots?

703
01:01:14,421 --> 01:01:17,585
I understand, Mueller.
We're all alike out here.

704
01:01:18,967 --> 01:01:20,959
And good boots are scarce.

705
01:01:29,144 --> 01:01:31,511
Tell the doctor to come, please.

706
01:01:38,528 --> 01:01:42,021
Doctor, the man in the next bed
would like to see you, sir.

707
01:01:42,115 --> 01:01:45,734
I've done everything I can for him.
There's no helping him.

708
01:01:45,827 --> 01:01:47,534
Poor little fellow.

709
01:01:59,591 --> 01:02:01,628
He says next time, Franz.

710
01:02:11,645 --> 01:02:13,602
Do you think I'll ever get well?

711
01:02:13,688 --> 01:02:15,600
Why, of course.

712
01:02:17,776 --> 01:02:19,893
Do you really think so?

713
01:02:19,986 --> 01:02:22,478
Sure, once you
get over the operation.

714
01:02:30,163 --> 01:02:31,995
I don't think so.

715
01:02:32,457 --> 01:02:36,497
Franz. Don't talk nonsense.
Why, you'll be as good as new.

716
01:02:36,628 --> 01:02:39,336
They fix up
worse things than that.

717
01:02:39,673 --> 01:02:42,461
Perhaps you'll go to the
convalescent home in Klosterberg

718
01:02:42,550 --> 01:02:44,507
among the villagers.

719
01:02:45,470 --> 01:02:49,089
Then you can look out of the
windows, across the field

720
01:02:49,182 --> 01:02:51,515
to the two trees on the horizon.

721
01:02:52,686 --> 01:02:56,305
The loveliest time of the year,
now, when the corn ripens.

722
01:02:57,857 --> 01:03:00,349
And you can go out
without asking anyone.

723
01:03:01,111 --> 01:03:03,774
You can even play piano
if you want to.

724
01:03:07,993 --> 01:03:12,112
Oh... Oh, but, Franz,
you must try to sleep now.

725
01:03:28,763 --> 01:03:30,049
Oh, God,

726
01:03:31,182 --> 01:03:35,722
this is Franz Kemmerick,
only 19 years old.

727
01:03:37,272 --> 01:03:39,355
He doesn't want to die.

728
01:03:39,983 --> 01:03:42,225
Please, don't let him die.

729
01:03:43,069 --> 01:03:44,651
Paul.

730
01:03:44,738 --> 01:03:46,570
- Paul.
- Yes, Franz.

731
01:03:48,700 --> 01:03:51,488
Take my boots home for Mueller.

732
01:03:51,578 --> 01:03:53,695
Oh, no, Franz, no.

733
01:03:54,622 --> 01:03:55,988
And if...

734
01:03:57,792 --> 01:04:00,250
Paul, you can find my watch,

735
01:04:01,880 --> 01:04:03,087
send it home.

736
01:04:03,173 --> 01:04:04,334
Franz!

737
01:04:07,761 --> 01:04:09,923
Doctor. Doctor!

738
01:04:10,930 --> 01:04:12,216
Doctor!

739
01:04:13,266 --> 01:04:15,758
Doctor! Where's the doctor?

740
01:04:15,977 --> 01:04:18,310
Why isn't there a doctor here?

741
01:04:18,813 --> 01:04:21,180
Doctor, come quick.
Franz Kemmerick is dying!

742
01:04:21,274 --> 01:04:22,810
- Which one is that?
- Amputated leg.

743
01:04:22,901 --> 01:04:24,358
I've amputated
a dozen legs today.

744
01:04:24,444 --> 01:04:25,685
Bed 26, sir.

745
01:04:25,779 --> 01:04:28,772
You see to it. I'm due
in the operating room.

746
01:04:29,157 --> 01:04:32,491
One operation after another
since 5:00 this morning.

747
01:04:32,577 --> 01:04:35,661
Sixteen dead today,
yours is the 17th.

748
01:04:35,747 --> 01:04:38,455
There'll probably
be 20 by tomorrow.

749
01:05:00,313 --> 01:05:02,976
You're looking good,
very good today.

750
01:05:17,497 --> 01:05:18,487
What's your hurry?

751
01:05:18,581 --> 01:05:20,072
Hey! I'll bet he
stole those boots!

752
01:05:20,166 --> 01:05:22,328
Why didn't you stop him?

753
01:05:26,965 --> 01:05:28,126
I got it, Kat.

754
01:05:28,216 --> 01:05:29,206
Huh?

755
01:05:29,676 --> 01:05:32,510
Listen, "The sum of
an arithmetic series

756
01:05:32,637 --> 01:05:37,473
"is S = A   L x N over 2."
Interesting, isn't it?

757
01:05:37,559 --> 01:05:39,767
What do you want to
learn that stuff for?

758
01:05:39,853 --> 01:05:43,346
One day you'll stop a bullet
and it'll all be wasted.

759
01:05:43,481 --> 01:05:45,643
I get a lot of fun out of it.

760
01:06:05,128 --> 01:06:07,040
My boots!

761
01:06:12,635 --> 01:06:14,126
Mueller.

762
01:06:15,763 --> 01:06:17,299
I saw him die.

763
01:06:21,311 --> 01:06:24,395
I didn't know what it
was like to die before.

764
01:06:26,065 --> 01:06:30,309
And then... Then I came
outside and it felt...

765
01:06:32,322 --> 01:06:37,317
It felt so good to be alive
that I started in to walk fast.

766
01:06:38,119 --> 01:06:40,987
I began to think of
the strangest things,

767
01:06:41,831 --> 01:06:45,165
like being out in the fields.
Things like that.

768
01:06:46,794 --> 01:06:49,161
You know, girls.

769
01:06:51,090 --> 01:06:53,582
And it felt as if there were

770
01:06:53,676 --> 01:06:57,386
something electric running
from the ground up through me.

771
01:06:57,472 --> 01:07:00,340
And I started.
And I began to run hard.

772
01:07:00,433 --> 01:07:03,096
And I passed soldiers and I
heard voices calling, but...

773
01:07:03,186 --> 01:07:05,098
And I ran and I ran.

774
01:07:05,522 --> 01:07:09,106
And I felt as if I couldn't
breathe enough air into me.

775
01:07:11,653 --> 01:07:14,612
And... And now I'm hungry.

776
01:07:19,369 --> 01:07:21,156
I don't
mind the war now.

777
01:07:21,287 --> 01:07:24,621
Be a pleasure to go to the
front in boots like these.

778
01:08:16,509 --> 01:08:18,421
It's a good
invention, just the same.

779
01:08:18,511 --> 01:08:19,752
If you crack
each separate louse,

780
01:08:19,846 --> 01:08:22,884
think of all the energy
you use up. Watch.

781
01:08:25,810 --> 01:08:27,472
Burned to death.

782
01:08:29,188 --> 01:08:30,679
How was patrol? Bad?

783
01:08:30,773 --> 01:08:33,857
Must've been terrible if they had
time to gather in the harvest.

784
01:08:33,943 --> 01:08:36,481
We passed a cherry tree and when
he saw it, he sort of went crazy.

785
01:08:36,571 --> 01:08:38,483
I could hardly drag him away.

786
01:08:38,990 --> 01:08:40,982
It was beautiful.

787
01:08:43,202 --> 01:08:46,286
I have a big orchard
with cherry trees at home.

788
01:08:47,832 --> 01:08:50,165
And when they're
in full blossom,

789
01:08:50,251 --> 01:08:53,335
from the hayloft it looks
like one single sheet.

790
01:08:54,213 --> 01:08:55,499
So white.

791
01:08:57,967 --> 01:08:59,424
Perhaps you can get leave soon.

792
01:08:59,510 --> 01:09:02,344
You may even be
sent back as a farmer.

793
01:09:02,722 --> 01:09:06,341
A woman can't run a farm alone.
That's no good, you know?

794
01:09:06,434 --> 01:09:08,642
No matter how hard she works.

795
01:09:10,021 --> 01:09:12,013
Harvest coming on again.

796
01:09:14,609 --> 01:09:15,850
What's the matter with him?

797
01:09:15,943 --> 01:09:17,559
Got a letter yesterday
from his wife.

798
01:09:17,737 --> 01:09:19,399
He wants to get
back to his farm.

799
01:09:19,530 --> 01:09:22,113
We'd all like to get back
home, it comes to that.

800
01:09:22,200 --> 01:09:24,863
I wonder what we'd do if it
were suddenly peacetime again?

801
01:09:24,952 --> 01:09:27,160
Get drunk and look for women!

802
01:09:27,705 --> 01:09:29,788
I'd go looking for a Cinderella

803
01:09:29,874 --> 01:09:31,911
that could wear
this for a garter.

804
01:09:32,669 --> 01:09:35,878
And when I'd found her, nobody
would see me for two weeks.

805
01:09:37,215 --> 01:09:39,548
I'll go back to the peat fields

806
01:09:40,593 --> 01:09:43,552
and those pleasant hours
in the beer gardens.

807
01:09:44,764 --> 01:09:47,757
And there's worse things
than cobbling, too.

808
01:09:48,309 --> 01:09:50,096
Look. My family.

809
01:09:53,731 --> 01:09:56,940
I ought to give you a kick in the
backside for starting all this.

810
01:09:57,026 --> 01:09:58,562
It's all right
for all you to talk.

811
01:09:58,653 --> 01:10:00,485
You've got something
to go back to.

812
01:10:00,571 --> 01:10:02,563
Wives, children, jobs...

813
01:10:03,616 --> 01:10:07,485
But what about us? What have
we got to go back to? School?

814
01:10:07,578 --> 01:10:09,865
Why not? You know
everything already?

815
01:10:09,956 --> 01:10:13,415
A man can't take all that rubbish
they teach you seriously

816
01:10:13,501 --> 01:10:16,960
after three years
of shells and bombs.

817
01:10:17,422 --> 01:10:19,664
You can't peel that off
as easily as a sock.

818
01:10:19,757 --> 01:10:21,840
They never taught us
anything really useful,

819
01:10:21,926 --> 01:10:23,588
like how to light
a cigarette in the wind,

820
01:10:23,678 --> 01:10:25,795
or make a fire out of wet wood,

821
01:10:25,888 --> 01:10:29,723
or bayonet a man in the belly instead
of the ribs where it gets jammed.

822
01:10:29,851 --> 01:10:32,184
What can happen
to us afterwards?

823
01:10:32,270 --> 01:10:34,478
I'll tell you. Take our class.

824
01:10:35,314 --> 01:10:38,148
Out of 20, three are officers,

825
01:10:38,985 --> 01:10:40,396
nine dead,

826
01:10:41,279 --> 01:10:44,989
Mueller and three others wounded,
and one in the madhouse.

827
01:10:45,992 --> 01:10:48,985
We'll all be dead someday,
so let's forget it.

828
01:10:51,581 --> 01:10:54,324
Hurry up!
Get in there! Hurry up!

829
01:10:56,502 --> 01:10:57,834
Himmelstoss!

830
01:11:05,678 --> 01:11:07,010
What's up?

831
01:11:07,346 --> 01:11:08,427
What are you, crazy?

832
01:11:08,514 --> 01:11:09,846
It's Himmelstoss!

833
01:11:09,932 --> 01:11:12,800
Himmelstoss? There is
justice in the army!

834
01:11:15,855 --> 01:11:19,439
Well, well.
So, we are all here, huh?

835
01:11:19,525 --> 01:11:21,391
A bit longer than you, Himmie.

836
01:11:21,486 --> 01:11:23,978
And since when have we
become so familiar?

837
01:11:24,071 --> 01:11:26,529
Stand up there and click your
heels together! All of you!

838
01:11:26,616 --> 01:11:29,029
Take a running jump at yourself!

839
01:11:29,118 --> 01:11:30,484
Who's your friend?

840
01:11:30,578 --> 01:11:34,367
Would somebody get General Ludendorff
a nice, comfortable chair?

841
01:11:35,583 --> 01:11:37,666
I command you as
your superior officer!

842
01:11:37,752 --> 01:11:38,868
Do you want to be
court-martialed for this?

843
01:11:38,961 --> 01:11:39,951
I do!

844
01:11:40,046 --> 01:11:41,253
There's going to be
a big attack tonight

845
01:11:41,339 --> 01:11:42,955
and I'd just love
to get out of it.

846
01:11:44,425 --> 01:11:46,212
Will you obey my orders?

847
01:11:46,385 --> 01:11:48,172
Kiss my foot.

848
01:11:53,851 --> 01:11:56,764
It isn't customary
to ask for salutes here.

849
01:11:56,854 --> 01:11:58,390
But I'll tell you what we'll do.

850
01:11:58,481 --> 01:12:01,189
We're going to attack a town that
we tried to take once before.

851
01:12:01,275 --> 01:12:04,313
Many killed and many wounded.
It was great fun.

852
01:12:04,487 --> 01:12:06,820
This time you're going with us.

853
01:12:06,906 --> 01:12:09,489
If any of us stops a bullet,
before we die,

854
01:12:09,575 --> 01:12:12,318
we're going to come to you, click
our heels together and ask stiffly,

855
01:12:12,411 --> 01:12:14,698
"Please, Sergeant Himmelstoss,
may we go?"

856
01:12:14,831 --> 01:12:17,869
You'll...
You'll pay for this, you...

857
01:12:24,966 --> 01:12:26,332
Here it is.

858
01:12:29,512 --> 01:12:32,175
Right on time.
Better get ready, boys.

859
01:13:30,865 --> 01:13:32,822
I'm wounded. I'm wounded!

860
01:13:32,909 --> 01:13:37,119
It's just a scratch, you yellow rat!
Up! Get on with the others! Up!

861
01:13:37,705 --> 01:13:39,367
No! No! No!

862
01:13:39,749 --> 01:13:41,285
You yellow rat!

863
01:13:41,584 --> 01:13:45,624
You stinking yellow rat!
Let the others do it, eh?

864
01:13:45,713 --> 01:13:47,295
Get up! Get up!

865
01:13:48,507 --> 01:13:51,966
Forward, forward! Get out here!

866
01:13:52,261 --> 01:13:54,594
The command was forward.

867
01:13:58,351 --> 01:14:00,092
Command was forward!

868
01:14:00,770 --> 01:14:01,977
Forward!

869
01:14:04,023 --> 01:14:06,390
Forward! Forward!

870
01:14:08,819 --> 01:14:10,185
Forward!

871
01:14:12,156 --> 01:14:13,522
Forward!

872
01:15:55,259 --> 01:15:56,545
Counterattack.

873
01:18:32,166 --> 01:18:33,907
I want to help you.

874
01:18:34,919 --> 01:18:36,751
I want to help you.

875
01:19:30,766 --> 01:19:33,053
Stop that! Stop that!

876
01:19:34,687 --> 01:19:37,851
I can bear the rest of it.
I can't listen to that!

877
01:19:46,782 --> 01:19:48,364
Why do you take so long dying?

878
01:19:48,450 --> 01:19:50,407
You're going to die anyway!

879
01:19:55,416 --> 01:19:58,750
Oh, no. Oh, no. You won't die.

880
01:19:59,253 --> 01:20:02,462
No, no. You won't die.
They're only little wounds.

881
01:20:03,590 --> 01:20:05,877
You'll get home.
You'll be all right.

882
01:20:07,052 --> 01:20:09,544
You'll get home
long before I will.

883
01:21:12,034 --> 01:21:14,947
You know I can't run away.
That's why you accuse me.

884
01:21:16,455 --> 01:21:19,994
I tell you, I didn't want to kill you.
I tried to keep you alive.

885
01:21:20,959 --> 01:21:24,248
If you jumped in here again,
I wouldn't do it.

886
01:21:24,338 --> 01:21:26,705
You see when you jumped in
here you were my enemy,

887
01:21:26,799 --> 01:21:28,131
and I was afraid of you.

888
01:21:29,843 --> 01:21:32,836
But you're just a man like
me, and I killed you.

889
01:21:34,348 --> 01:21:36,465
Forgive me, comrade.

890
01:21:37,393 --> 01:21:39,601
Say that for me.
Say you forgive me.

891
01:21:41,522 --> 01:21:43,434
Oh, no. You're dead.

892
01:21:45,109 --> 01:21:48,898
Only, you're better off than I am.
You're through.

893
01:21:48,987 --> 01:21:51,274
They can't do
anymore to you now.

894
01:21:52,825 --> 01:21:56,034
Oh, God, why did
they do this to us?

895
01:21:56,495 --> 01:21:58,703
We only wanted
to live, you and I.

896
01:21:59,706 --> 01:22:03,165
Why should they send us
out to fight each other?

897
01:22:03,252 --> 01:22:05,585
If we threw away these
rifles and these uniforms

898
01:22:05,671 --> 01:22:08,539
you could be my brother,
just like Kat and Albert.

899
01:22:09,925 --> 01:22:13,259
You'll have to forgive me, comrade.
I'll do all I can.

900
01:22:13,887 --> 01:22:16,880
I'll write to your parents.
I'll write to...

901
01:22:43,709 --> 01:22:46,668
I'll write to your wife.
I'll write to her.

902
01:22:48,213 --> 01:22:51,206
I promise she'll
not want for anything.

903
01:22:51,884 --> 01:22:54,467
And I'll help her
and your parents, too.

904
01:22:54,553 --> 01:22:58,297
Only, forgive me. Forgive me!

905
01:22:58,390 --> 01:23:01,007
Forgive me. Forgive me.

906
01:23:01,977 --> 01:23:03,889
Forgive me.

907
01:23:48,482 --> 01:23:51,099
Terrible thing
happened yesterday.

908
01:23:51,235 --> 01:23:54,569
I stabbed a man. With my
own hands, stabbed him.

909
01:23:54,655 --> 01:23:58,774
I know how it is.
Your first time.

910
01:23:59,284 --> 01:24:01,651
Never mind. The stretcher-bearers
will find him.

911
01:24:01,787 --> 01:24:03,870
No, no. He's dead, Kat.
I watched him die.

912
01:24:03,956 --> 01:24:05,948
You couldn't do
anything about it.

913
01:24:06,083 --> 01:24:09,326
We have to kill.
We can't help it.

914
01:24:09,461 --> 01:24:13,671
That's what we are here for.
Look there, for instance.

915
01:24:15,968 --> 01:24:19,678
That got him. You should've
seen how he leaped in the air.

916
01:24:20,847 --> 01:24:24,306
That fellow headed the shoot with
us for today with three hits.

917
01:24:24,393 --> 01:24:26,476
If he keeps it up,
he'll have a decoration

918
01:24:26,562 --> 01:24:28,975
for his buttonhole this evening.

919
01:24:29,356 --> 01:24:32,770
Now, don't you lose anymore
sleep over this business.

920
01:24:32,859 --> 01:24:35,567
Maybe it was 'cause I was out
there with him so long, huh?

921
01:24:35,654 --> 01:24:37,520
Sure, that's it.

922
01:24:39,199 --> 01:24:41,191
After all, war is war.

923
01:25:18,447 --> 01:25:19,779
March!

924
01:25:19,865 --> 01:25:21,948
Forward, march!

925
01:25:34,504 --> 01:25:36,917
Quickly! Forward!

926
01:25:38,467 --> 01:25:40,550
Company, halt!

927
01:25:42,054 --> 01:25:43,420
Dismissed!

928
01:25:45,515 --> 01:25:48,883
Noncommissioned officers,
enlisted men, dismissed!

929
01:25:50,562 --> 01:25:53,179
Hooray! Come on,
let's get out of here!

930
01:26:21,468 --> 01:26:22,458
Give me your best sausage.

931
01:26:22,552 --> 01:26:23,588
Two.

932
01:26:25,639 --> 01:26:27,175
Give me a beer.

933
01:26:35,357 --> 01:26:37,440
One, two, three, hoorah!

934
01:26:43,615 --> 01:26:46,153
Hey, come on. A beer.

935
01:26:48,620 --> 01:26:50,703
Hey, get out of here!

936
01:26:50,789 --> 01:26:52,826
Come on. Give me a beer.

937
01:26:57,212 --> 01:26:59,374
A beer. One...

938
01:27:00,632 --> 01:27:01,964
<i>Prosit!</i>

939
01:27:05,137 --> 01:27:08,630
Well, here's hoping we get
falling-down drunk tonight.

940
01:27:08,724 --> 01:27:10,716
Here's how it started.

941
01:27:26,366 --> 01:27:28,904
I'd forgotten there
were girls like that.

942
01:27:28,994 --> 01:27:30,610
There aren't.

943
01:27:32,080 --> 01:27:34,413
Just look at those
thin, little shoes.

944
01:27:34,916 --> 01:27:37,249
She couldn't march
many miles in those.

945
01:27:37,753 --> 01:27:40,621
Paul. Don't speak
about marching.

946
01:27:40,714 --> 01:27:42,546
You're boring the young lady.

947
01:27:44,593 --> 01:27:46,505
A thousand pardons.

948
01:27:48,680 --> 01:27:50,592
How old do you think she is?

949
01:27:50,682 --> 01:27:54,141
Oh, about 22.

950
01:27:54,227 --> 01:27:56,719
No, you know, that'd
make her older than us.

951
01:27:56,813 --> 01:28:00,181
She's 17.

952
01:28:03,945 --> 01:28:08,064
A girl like that. That'd
be good, eh, Albert?

953
01:28:13,205 --> 01:28:16,448
We wouldn't have much of a
chance with him around.

954
01:28:31,890 --> 01:28:34,473
We could take a bath,
wash our clothes...

955
01:28:34,559 --> 01:28:36,050
All right.

956
01:28:36,144 --> 01:28:38,932
I might even go so far
as to get deloused.

957
01:28:39,022 --> 01:28:40,638
Wait a minute! Wait a minute!

958
01:28:40,732 --> 01:28:42,724
She's a long way from here now.

959
01:28:42,818 --> 01:28:45,526
Look at the date. May 1917.

960
01:28:45,612 --> 01:28:47,194
Four months ago.

961
01:28:47,280 --> 01:28:49,067
That's true.

962
01:28:49,157 --> 01:28:51,991
Well, here's to her anyway.

963
01:28:52,536 --> 01:28:55,370
Here's to 'em all, everywhere.

964
01:28:59,501 --> 01:29:03,461
Albert, we might as
well wash up anyway.

965
01:29:03,547 --> 01:29:04,628
All right.

966
01:29:08,009 --> 01:29:11,502
Personally, I like
them bigger around.

967
01:29:11,596 --> 01:29:14,430
This conversation was on a
high moral plane up to now.

968
01:29:14,516 --> 01:29:16,974
Now we do need a bath.

969
01:29:17,269 --> 01:29:19,226
- A bath?
- For what?

970
01:29:21,481 --> 01:29:23,564
You wouldn't understand.

971
01:29:29,406 --> 01:29:32,319
This water's freezing. This
romantic business has gone too far.

972
01:29:32,409 --> 01:29:34,992
But think of her beautiful eyes!

973
01:29:35,078 --> 01:29:37,616
Oh, and her hair.

974
01:29:37,706 --> 01:29:39,072
- Here we are!
- We're not gonna miss a thing!

975
01:29:39,165 --> 01:29:40,201
Go away!

976
01:29:40,292 --> 01:29:41,248
What are you doing here?

977
01:29:41,334 --> 01:29:42,370
Bathing!

978
01:29:42,460 --> 01:29:44,702
They tell me there's some
people in this world

979
01:29:44,796 --> 01:29:46,913
takes a bath every week!

980
01:29:48,091 --> 01:29:49,627
Women!

981
01:30:04,441 --> 01:30:06,433
<i>Mademoiselle,</i>
you want to swim?

982
01:30:21,666 --> 01:30:23,532
<i>Mademoiselle,</i> you could be me!

983
01:30:35,305 --> 01:30:37,171
Oh, baby!

984
01:30:38,308 --> 01:30:39,344
Kiss me!

985
01:30:45,148 --> 01:30:47,561
No, girls! Don't go away!

986
01:30:51,029 --> 01:30:52,816
Oh, mama!

987
01:31:00,789 --> 01:31:02,280
Please don't go!

988
01:31:02,374 --> 01:31:03,865
Don't go away!

989
01:31:04,334 --> 01:31:05,870
<i>Mademoiselle,</i> we want you.

990
01:31:15,345 --> 01:31:17,928
Food! Food! Whoo!

991
01:31:41,079 --> 01:31:42,115
Halt!

992
01:31:42,205 --> 01:31:44,197
You know you're
forbidden to cross.

993
01:31:44,290 --> 01:31:48,534
You fellows stay on this side or you'll
get yourselves in a lot of trouble.

994
01:32:01,808 --> 01:32:03,344
What are they jabbering about?

995
01:32:03,435 --> 01:32:05,472
They want us to swing over tonight.
They're expecting us.

996
01:32:05,562 --> 01:32:06,928
- That's fine!
- We'll do it!

997
01:32:07,022 --> 01:32:08,558
That blonde's crazy about me.

998
01:32:08,648 --> 01:32:10,890
But there's four of us
and only three of them.

999
01:32:10,984 --> 01:32:12,691
I was the one that stopped 'em!

1000
01:32:12,777 --> 01:32:14,484
That blonde piece
of work is mine.

1001
01:32:14,571 --> 01:32:16,528
You three fight for what's left.

1002
01:32:16,614 --> 01:32:20,403
Fight's the word. All's
fair in love and war.

1003
01:32:20,493 --> 01:32:22,951
Huh? What do you mean?
What are you gonna do?

1004
01:32:23,038 --> 01:32:24,654
You'll find out.

1005
01:32:55,653 --> 01:32:57,610
She means the door.

1006
01:33:21,179 --> 01:33:22,420
Not only modest,
but dashing!

1007
01:33:22,514 --> 01:33:23,755
A perfect fit.

1008
01:33:23,848 --> 01:33:24,838
It might've been made for me.

1009
01:33:24,974 --> 01:33:28,012
An officer's coat. We're
calling, distinguished company.

1010
01:34:39,174 --> 01:34:41,712
Have another
little drink, comrade.

1011
01:34:43,761 --> 01:34:47,254
Is this your birthday or mine?

1012
01:34:47,557 --> 01:34:48,843
Why?

1013
01:34:49,601 --> 01:34:53,845
You've been buying me drink
after drink for two hours.

1014
01:34:53,938 --> 01:34:58,353
What I'm trying to
figure out is why.

1015
01:34:58,776 --> 01:35:02,190
Why? Why?

1016
01:35:03,948 --> 01:35:06,440
Oh!

1017
01:35:08,286 --> 01:35:11,870
It's just that the boys

1018
01:35:11,956 --> 01:35:16,417
told me to amuse you
for a little while.

1019
01:35:17,086 --> 01:35:19,544
Oh, nice boys.

1020
01:35:19,631 --> 01:35:21,042
Yeah!

1021
01:35:21,132 --> 01:35:24,625
Yeah, they said you'd understand.

1022
01:35:32,936 --> 01:35:34,893
I've been betrayed!

1023
01:35:34,979 --> 01:35:37,938
Yeah, you certainly have.

1024
01:35:38,024 --> 01:35:40,687
Take that for a minute!

1025
01:35:40,818 --> 01:35:42,650
I'll give you more!

1026
01:35:53,665 --> 01:35:56,203
It's too loud.

1027
01:36:29,200 --> 01:36:30,486
Darling.

1028
01:36:31,202 --> 01:36:32,943
What's your name?

1029
01:36:35,164 --> 01:36:37,747
Name. How do you say name?

1030
01:36:38,334 --> 01:36:40,826
Georgette? Camille?

1031
01:36:43,548 --> 01:36:46,382
Suzanne.

1032
01:36:49,721 --> 01:36:51,758
Paul.

1033
01:36:54,517 --> 01:36:58,602
Suzanne, I wish I could
tell you something.

1034
01:36:59,105 --> 01:37:00,937
I wish you could understand.

1035
01:37:02,233 --> 01:37:07,353
Darling, I'll never see you again.
I know that.

1036
01:37:08,406 --> 01:37:10,398
And I wouldn't even
know you if I did.

1037
01:37:10,533 --> 01:37:15,244
And yet,
I'll remember you always.

1038
01:37:18,916 --> 01:37:20,999
If you could only know
how different this is

1039
01:37:21,085 --> 01:37:23,202
from the women
that we soldiers meet.

1040
01:37:27,550 --> 01:37:30,793
No, no, no. Not the war.

1041
01:37:30,928 --> 01:37:33,762
You. That's what
I'm talking about.

1042
01:37:37,060 --> 01:37:41,395
It seems as though all war,
terror and grossness

1043
01:37:41,481 --> 01:37:45,191
had fallen away from me,
like a miracle.

1044
01:37:46,778 --> 01:37:48,815
Like something I never believed.

1045
01:37:57,497 --> 01:37:59,159
Call Paul.

1046
01:38:00,375 --> 01:38:02,116
We're going, Paul.

1047
01:38:32,657 --> 01:38:35,024
Have a look. Nice, new coffins.

1048
01:38:35,118 --> 01:38:36,450
For us.

1049
01:38:37,870 --> 01:38:39,452
I must say,
that's a very cheerful

1050
01:38:39,539 --> 01:38:41,075
preparation for this offensive.

1051
01:38:41,165 --> 01:38:42,906
That's very considerate of them.

1052
01:38:43,000 --> 01:38:46,584
But I don't see any long enough
for our comrade, Tjaden.

1053
01:38:46,671 --> 01:38:49,584
Mind you, I'm not speaking
to you, you traitors.

1054
01:38:49,674 --> 01:38:52,212
But no coffin's gonna get me.

1055
01:38:52,301 --> 01:38:55,294
I should say not, heartbreaker.

1056
01:38:55,388 --> 01:38:58,256
You'll be thankful if they
slip a waterproof sheet

1057
01:38:58,349 --> 01:39:01,683
around that Aunt Sally
of a carcass of yours.

1058
01:39:31,507 --> 01:39:33,715
My side!

1059
01:39:38,389 --> 01:39:39,630
My side.

1060
01:39:57,867 --> 01:39:59,699
Catholic hospital, Albert.

1061
01:40:01,329 --> 01:40:04,743
They say you always get good
food and good treatment.

1062
01:40:04,957 --> 01:40:06,073
We're lucky.

1063
01:40:06,167 --> 01:40:07,624
After that rainy
dressing station

1064
01:40:07,710 --> 01:40:10,498
and 24 hours on the train,
we deserve to have some luck.

1065
01:40:16,552 --> 01:40:18,088
I'm Hammacher.

1066
01:40:21,390 --> 01:40:23,677
Yes, that's my name.

1067
01:40:24,393 --> 01:40:27,682
I got a crack in the head and they
gave me a certificate stating

1068
01:40:27,772 --> 01:40:30,480
that Joseph Hammacher
is periodically

1069
01:40:30,566 --> 01:40:33,229
not responsible for his actions.

1070
01:40:34,904 --> 01:40:40,195
And ever since then, Hammacher
has been having a grand time.

1071
01:40:49,085 --> 01:40:52,374
I hope you boys are
not too badly wounded.

1072
01:40:53,422 --> 01:40:58,417
The others die off so quickly we
don't have time to get acquainted.

1073
01:40:58,803 --> 01:41:01,716
You'll get to know us very well.

1074
01:41:03,140 --> 01:41:05,974
Thank you. You, too.

1075
01:41:11,399 --> 01:41:15,518
I'm sorry, my dear.
It's time to go now.

1076
01:41:16,362 --> 01:41:18,228
Yes, Sister.

1077
01:41:25,621 --> 01:41:27,328
Watch.

1078
01:41:29,458 --> 01:41:33,247
If they take his clothes away,
you've seen the last of him.

1079
01:41:34,630 --> 01:41:37,122
See? They're taking him
to the dying room.

1080
01:41:37,216 --> 01:41:38,548
Dying room?

1081
01:41:38,634 --> 01:41:39,966
When you're ready
to kick the bucket,

1082
01:41:40,052 --> 01:41:43,261
they get you out of the way
so they can use the bed.

1083
01:41:43,347 --> 01:41:44,713
In the corner of the building

1084
01:41:44,807 --> 01:41:48,847
there's a little room
right next to the morgue!

1085
01:41:50,062 --> 01:41:52,805
It's so convenient.
It saves a lot of trouble.

1086
01:41:52,898 --> 01:41:54,981
But suppose he gets well?

1087
01:41:55,067 --> 01:41:57,810
I've seen a lot of them
go in that dying room,

1088
01:41:57,903 --> 01:42:00,987
but nobody ever comes back.

1089
01:42:27,350 --> 01:42:31,014
Sister. Sister. Sister.

1090
01:42:33,856 --> 01:42:34,892
Sister.

1091
01:42:43,908 --> 01:42:45,115
Is that you
ringing, Paul?

1092
01:42:45,201 --> 01:42:46,408
Yes.

1093
01:42:47,161 --> 01:42:48,652
Is something wrong?

1094
01:42:48,746 --> 01:42:50,157
I think I have a hemorrhage.

1095
01:42:50,247 --> 01:42:54,287
The bandage is all wet. I've been
ringing forever and nobody comes.

1096
01:42:56,087 --> 01:42:57,328
I think I'm bleeding.

1097
01:42:57,421 --> 01:42:59,708
Sister, get me a sterile
dressing and an ice pack.

1098
01:42:59,799 --> 01:43:00,960
Why didn't someone call me?

1099
01:43:01,050 --> 01:43:02,507
He's been ringing.

1100
01:43:02,593 --> 01:43:04,801
Nobody can walk, Sister.

1101
01:43:04,887 --> 01:43:06,344
Sister, is it bad?

1102
01:43:06,430 --> 01:43:08,843
No. No, we'll be all right.

1103
01:43:08,933 --> 01:43:10,424
We've got it in time.

1104
01:43:58,899 --> 01:44:01,607
What's the matter?
What are you doing?

1105
01:44:01,694 --> 01:44:03,981
We must rearrange your bandages.

1106
01:44:05,740 --> 01:44:08,073
Where are you taking me?

1107
01:44:08,159 --> 01:44:09,991
To the bandaging ward.

1108
01:44:17,918 --> 01:44:20,831
No, no! I'm not going!
I'm staying here!

1109
01:44:20,921 --> 01:44:22,037
Paul! Paul!

1110
01:44:22,131 --> 01:44:23,247
Now, now!

1111
01:44:23,340 --> 01:44:24,421
I'm not going to the dying room!

1112
01:44:24,508 --> 01:44:25,919
But we're going to
the bandaging ward.

1113
01:44:26,010 --> 01:44:27,421
Then why are you
taking my clothes?

1114
01:44:27,511 --> 01:44:31,346
You're lying to me! But I'll come back!
I won't die!

1115
01:44:31,432 --> 01:44:37,099
I'll come back! I won't die!

1116
01:44:37,188 --> 01:44:39,976
I'm not going to die!
I'll come back!

1117
01:44:50,534 --> 01:44:52,617
Sister
Libertine, how is he?

1118
01:44:52,703 --> 01:44:56,117
Poor boy. They had
to amputate his leg.

1119
01:45:11,305 --> 01:45:12,386
Paul.

1120
01:45:13,474 --> 01:45:18,219
Paul. Paul.

1121
01:45:19,355 --> 01:45:22,974
Oh, he is gone.

1122
01:45:23,984 --> 01:45:25,145
Gone.

1123
01:45:30,241 --> 01:45:34,235
Hello. Welcome home, Albert!

1124
01:45:36,705 --> 01:45:37,991
How do you feel, kid?

1125
01:45:38,082 --> 01:45:39,323
All right.

1126
01:45:39,416 --> 01:45:42,250
But I've got such an awful pain.

1127
01:45:42,586 --> 01:45:44,498
My foot...

1128
01:45:48,884 --> 01:45:52,343
Hammacher.
Did they cut my leg off?

1129
01:45:52,429 --> 01:45:55,672
Of course not! How many
did you have? Two?

1130
01:45:55,766 --> 01:45:58,554
You still got 'em! One, two!

1131
01:45:58,936 --> 01:46:02,896
Don't play the fool, Hammacher.
Tell me truthfully.

1132
01:46:02,982 --> 01:46:06,225
Of course not.
And you look fine.

1133
01:46:08,904 --> 01:46:11,442
Look. See?

1134
01:46:25,421 --> 01:46:27,003
- I won't be a cripple.
- Now, now.

1135
01:46:27,131 --> 01:46:28,963
- I won't live like that!
- Be calm.

1136
01:46:29,091 --> 01:46:30,798
I'll kill myself
the first chance I get!

1137
01:46:30,885 --> 01:46:31,875
Albert!

1138
01:46:31,969 --> 01:46:35,178
- I won't live! I won't live!
- Yes, you will.

1139
01:46:35,306 --> 01:46:37,764
Albert! Albert!

1140
01:46:38,684 --> 01:46:40,767
Albert, I've come back!

1141
01:46:40,853 --> 01:46:44,688
I told you I'd come back. Look, everybody!
I've come back!

1142
01:46:44,815 --> 01:46:45,805
Paul! Paul!

1143
01:46:45,941 --> 01:46:48,058
That's not where I'm going.
I live over there.

1144
01:46:48,152 --> 01:46:50,144
Paul, I'm so happy.

1145
01:46:50,946 --> 01:46:52,938
Hammacher, I've come
back from the dead!

1146
01:46:53,032 --> 01:46:55,740
It's most irregular.
Never happened before.

1147
01:46:55,826 --> 01:46:58,910
Albert, we must get well quickly
so we can go home soon.

1148
01:46:58,996 --> 01:47:00,828
Albert, everything
will be all right now.

1149
01:47:00,956 --> 01:47:04,950
Yes, Paul. Everything
will be all right now.

1150
01:48:37,469 --> 01:48:40,837
Paul! Paul! Paul!

1151
01:48:42,266 --> 01:48:43,347
Paul.

1152
01:48:44,810 --> 01:48:46,847
What's the matter, Paul?

1153
01:48:46,937 --> 01:48:49,304
Nothing. Nothing.

1154
01:49:11,962 --> 01:49:13,453
Paul.

1155
01:49:13,881 --> 01:49:15,622
Give me your handkerchief.

1156
01:49:25,142 --> 01:49:26,223
Mother?

1157
01:49:26,310 --> 01:49:28,973
Here I am, Paul.
Here I am.

1158
01:49:32,316 --> 01:49:33,978
Mother's ill.

1159
01:49:51,251 --> 01:49:52,583
Are you wounded?

1160
01:49:52,669 --> 01:49:54,581
No, Mother. I got leave.

1161
01:50:02,763 --> 01:50:06,427
Here I lie and cry
instead of being glad.

1162
01:50:07,768 --> 01:50:11,603
Anna, get down
the jar of blackberries.

1163
01:50:12,439 --> 01:50:15,273
You still like them, don't you?

1164
01:50:15,359 --> 01:50:18,693
Yes, Mother. I haven't
had any for a long time.

1165
01:50:21,949 --> 01:50:24,441
We might almost have known
you were coming.

1166
01:50:25,035 --> 01:50:26,776
I'm making potato cakes.

1167
01:50:26,912 --> 01:50:28,653
Don't let them burn.

1168
01:50:30,124 --> 01:50:34,619
Paul, sit down beside me.

1169
01:50:39,800 --> 01:50:41,632
My Paul.

1170
01:50:43,762 --> 01:50:45,628
My baby.

1171
01:50:48,142 --> 01:50:52,056
I almost forgot, Mother. I've got
some little presents for you.

1172
01:51:07,703 --> 01:51:11,322
Look, Mother.
Bread, sausage and rice.

1173
01:51:11,415 --> 01:51:14,499
Paul, you've been
starving yourself.

1174
01:51:14,835 --> 01:51:17,953
Hadn't I better go and
tell Father Paul's home?

1175
01:51:18,046 --> 01:51:19,833
Paul could watch
the things on the stove.

1176
01:51:19,923 --> 01:51:22,836
No, no, child, I'm getting up.

1177
01:51:22,926 --> 01:51:26,715
Oh, Paul, you're
a soldier now, aren't you?

1178
01:51:27,598 --> 01:51:31,012
But somehow,
I don't seem to know you.

1179
01:51:32,102 --> 01:51:33,968
I'll take these off, Mother.

1180
01:51:34,062 --> 01:51:37,851
I'll get your suit, Paul. It's in the
wardrobe, just where you left it.

1181
01:51:37,941 --> 01:51:40,900
Are you really here, Paul?

1182
01:51:40,986 --> 01:51:42,443
You won't...

1183
01:51:42,529 --> 01:51:45,943
You won't disappear, will you?

1184
01:51:46,783 --> 01:51:49,366
No. I'm here.

1185
01:52:05,886 --> 01:52:08,469
Your things are
ready for you, Paul.

1186
01:52:09,890 --> 01:52:11,301
I remember when you
caught that one.

1187
01:52:11,391 --> 01:52:14,134
Yes. And you took it
away from me, didn't you?

1188
01:52:15,187 --> 01:52:16,974
Yes, I did.

1189
01:52:31,203 --> 01:52:32,865
We're behind the lines,

1190
01:52:32,955 --> 01:52:34,617
but we know how to
honor the soldier

1191
01:52:34,706 --> 01:52:37,414
who goes on in spite
of blood and death.

1192
01:52:37,501 --> 01:52:39,163
Gentlemen, my son.

1193
01:52:40,420 --> 01:52:42,082
- <i>Prosit.</i>
<i>- Prosit.</i>

1194
01:52:46,260 --> 01:52:49,719
I'm glad to know you, young
man, I am glad to know you.

1195
01:52:50,138 --> 01:52:54,257
And how are things out there?
Terrible, eh? Terrible.

1196
01:52:55,477 --> 01:52:57,560
But we must carry on.

1197
01:52:58,230 --> 01:53:02,315
After all, you do at least
get decent food out there.

1198
01:53:02,943 --> 01:53:05,560
Naturally, it's worse here.
Naturally.

1199
01:53:06,029 --> 01:53:10,148
But the best for our soldiers all the time.
That's our motto.

1200
01:53:11,285 --> 01:53:12,992
The best for our soldiers.

1201
01:53:13,078 --> 01:53:14,785
The best for our soldiers.

1202
01:53:17,249 --> 01:53:19,536
But you must give the
Frenchies a good licking!

1203
01:53:24,172 --> 01:53:26,960
And if you boys
want to come home,

1204
01:53:28,593 --> 01:53:32,963
let me show you what you must
do before you can come home.

1205
01:53:34,850 --> 01:53:36,887
Give us a hand there, men.

1206
01:53:37,436 --> 01:53:40,429
Now, then, there's the line.

1207
01:53:40,939 --> 01:53:43,477
Runs so, in a "V."

1208
01:53:44,443 --> 01:53:47,311
Here is St. Quentin.
You can see for yourself.

1209
01:53:47,404 --> 01:53:49,942
You're almost through now.
All right?

1210
01:53:50,032 --> 01:53:54,447
Shove ahead out there and don't stick
to that everlasting trench warfare.

1211
01:53:54,995 --> 01:53:59,114
Smash through the Johnnies!
And then you will have peace.

1212
01:54:00,292 --> 01:54:04,286
When you get in it, the war isn't
the way it looks back here.

1213
01:54:04,379 --> 01:54:07,543
You don't know
anything about it.

1214
01:54:07,632 --> 01:54:12,423
Of course, you know about the details,
but this relates to the whole.

1215
01:54:12,929 --> 01:54:14,716
You can't judge that.

1216
01:54:15,182 --> 01:54:18,801
Of course, you do your duty
and you risk your life.

1217
01:54:19,144 --> 01:54:22,433
But for that, you receive
the highest honor.

1218
01:54:23,648 --> 01:54:26,607
I said that every man in the war
ought to have the Iron Cross.

1219
01:54:26,693 --> 01:54:30,653
First, the enemy lines must be
broken through in Flanders.

1220
01:54:30,739 --> 01:54:31,946
On to Paris!

1221
01:54:32,032 --> 01:54:33,318
- Push on to Paris!
- Right.

1222
01:54:33,575 --> 01:54:35,191
No, not in Flanders.
Now I'll tell you

1223
01:54:35,285 --> 01:54:36,867
just where the break
should come.

1224
01:54:36,953 --> 01:54:38,239
Here.

1225
01:54:38,330 --> 01:54:39,992
The enemy has
too many reserves there.

1226
01:54:40,082 --> 01:54:42,039
I insist upon Flanders!

1227
01:54:42,125 --> 01:54:44,287
I know, but, my dear man,
why should they do that

1228
01:54:44,378 --> 01:54:46,040
when they're halfway through St.
Quentin already?

1229
01:54:46,129 --> 01:54:47,245
Why go the other way?

1230
01:54:47,339 --> 01:54:49,046
Because Flanders
is a flat country.

1231
01:54:49,132 --> 01:54:50,873
There are no mountains,
no obstructions.

1232
01:54:50,967 --> 01:54:52,629
But there's many rivers there.

1233
01:55:11,363 --> 01:55:13,525
From the
farms they have gone,

1234
01:55:13,615 --> 01:55:16,198
from the schools,
from the factories.

1235
01:55:16,618 --> 01:55:20,202
They have gone bravely,
nobly, ever forward,

1236
01:55:20,580 --> 01:55:25,871
realizing that there is no other
duty now but to save the fatherland.

1237
01:55:27,087 --> 01:55:30,831
Paul! How are you, Paul?

1238
01:55:30,966 --> 01:55:33,049
Glad to see you, Professor.

1239
01:55:33,802 --> 01:55:37,887
You've come at the right moment, Bäumer.
Just at the right moment.

1240
01:55:38,098 --> 01:55:40,431
And as if to prove
all I have said,

1241
01:55:40,517 --> 01:55:42,759
here is one of the first to go.

1242
01:55:43,145 --> 01:55:46,638
A lad who sat before me
on these very benches,

1243
01:55:47,149 --> 01:55:50,608
who gave up all to serve
in the first year of the war.

1244
01:55:51,111 --> 01:55:55,526
One of the iron youth who have made
Germany invincible in the field.

1245
01:55:55,866 --> 01:55:59,951
Look at him, sturdy and
bronze and clear-eyed.

1246
01:56:00,245 --> 01:56:03,534
The kind of soldier
every one of you should envy.

1247
01:56:04,499 --> 01:56:07,082
Paul, lad,
you must speak to them.

1248
01:56:07,544 --> 01:56:11,163
You must tell them what it means
to serve your fatherland.

1249
01:56:13,467 --> 01:56:15,049
No, no, I can't
tell them anything.

1250
01:56:15,135 --> 01:56:17,593
You must, Paul. Just a word.

1251
01:56:17,679 --> 01:56:20,672
Just tell them how much
they're needed out there.

1252
01:56:20,765 --> 01:56:23,849
Tell them why you went
and what it meant to you.

1253
01:56:24,519 --> 01:56:26,135
I can't say anything.

1254
01:56:26,229 --> 01:56:30,940
Can't you remember some deed of
heroism, some touch of nobility?

1255
01:56:31,359 --> 01:56:32,850
Tell about it.

1256
01:56:39,451 --> 01:56:42,159
I can't tell you
anything you don't know.

1257
01:56:42,871 --> 01:56:45,784
We live in the trenches
out there. We fight.

1258
01:56:47,000 --> 01:56:50,289
We try not to be killed,
sometimes we are.

1259
01:56:53,173 --> 01:56:54,505
That's all.

1260
01:56:58,178 --> 01:57:00,636
No. No, Paul.

1261
01:57:01,097 --> 01:57:03,805
I've been there!
I know what it's like.

1262
01:57:04,017 --> 01:57:06,634
That's not what
one dwells on, Paul.

1263
01:57:06,728 --> 01:57:09,892
I've heard you in here
reciting that same old stuff,

1264
01:57:09,981 --> 01:57:13,065
making more iron men,
more young heroes.

1265
01:57:14,194 --> 01:57:16,186
You still think it's
beautiful and sweet

1266
01:57:16,279 --> 01:57:18,817
to die for your country,
don't you?

1267
01:57:18,907 --> 01:57:20,944
We used to think you knew.

1268
01:57:21,368 --> 01:57:24,076
The first bombardment
taught us better.

1269
01:57:24,704 --> 01:57:27,697
It's dirty and painful
to die for your country.

1270
01:57:27,791 --> 01:57:29,373
When it comes to dying
for your country,

1271
01:57:29,459 --> 01:57:31,872
it's better not to die at all!

1272
01:57:31,962 --> 01:57:34,955
There are millions out there
dying for their countries,

1273
01:57:35,048 --> 01:57:36,164
and what good is it?

1274
01:57:39,594 --> 01:57:40,710
Paul.

1275
01:57:40,804 --> 01:57:43,888
You asked me to tell them how
much they're needed out there.

1276
01:57:43,974 --> 01:57:46,216
He tells you, "Go out and die."

1277
01:57:46,393 --> 01:57:47,929
Oh, but if you'll pardon me,

1278
01:57:48,019 --> 01:57:50,853
it's easier to say, "Go out
and die" than it is to do it.

1279
01:57:50,939 --> 01:57:52,225
Coward!

1280
01:57:52,315 --> 01:57:55,649
And it's easier to say it
than to watch it happen.

1281
01:57:55,819 --> 01:57:57,355
- Coward!
- Get out!

1282
01:57:57,445 --> 01:58:00,233
No! Boys, boys!

1283
01:58:01,658 --> 01:58:03,365
I'm sorry, Bäumer,
but I must say...

1284
01:58:03,451 --> 01:58:05,534
It's no use talking like this.

1285
01:58:05,620 --> 01:58:07,657
You won't know what I mean.

1286
01:58:07,747 --> 01:58:11,912
Only, it's been a long while since
we enlisted out of this classroom.

1287
01:58:12,002 --> 01:58:15,996
So long I thought maybe the whole
world had learned by this time.

1288
01:58:16,172 --> 01:58:19,961
Only now they're sending babies,
and they won't last a week.

1289
01:58:20,343 --> 01:58:22,505
I shouldn't have come on leave.

1290
01:58:22,637 --> 01:58:24,253
Up at the front you're
alive or you're dead,

1291
01:58:24,347 --> 01:58:25,929
and that's all.

1292
01:58:26,016 --> 01:58:28,850
You can't fool anybody
about that very long.

1293
01:58:28,977 --> 01:58:31,094
And up there we know
we're lost and done for,

1294
01:58:31,187 --> 01:58:33,349
whether we're dead or alive.

1295
01:58:33,440 --> 01:58:36,148
Three years we've had of it...
Four years.

1296
01:58:36,276 --> 01:58:39,360
And every day a year,
and every night a century.

1297
01:58:40,322 --> 01:58:43,110
And our bodies are earth,
and our thoughts are clay,

1298
01:58:43,199 --> 01:58:45,532
and we sleep and eat with death.

1299
01:58:45,869 --> 01:58:48,031
We're done for because
you can't live that way

1300
01:58:48,121 --> 01:58:50,534
and keep anything inside you!

1301
01:58:50,624 --> 01:58:54,038
I shouldn't have come on leave.
I'll go back tomorrow.

1302
01:58:54,336 --> 01:58:57,044
I've got four days more,
but I can't stand it here.

1303
01:58:57,172 --> 01:58:58,879
I'll go back tomorrow!

1304
01:58:59,966 --> 01:59:01,127
I'm sorry.

1305
01:59:13,146 --> 01:59:16,480
Mother, you'll catch cold here.
You must go to sleep.

1306
01:59:16,566 --> 01:59:20,526
There'll be plenty of time
to sleep when you're gone.

1307
01:59:22,072 --> 01:59:25,190
Must you go tomorrow, Paul?
Must you?

1308
01:59:25,742 --> 01:59:28,075
Yes, Mother.
Orders were changed.

1309
01:59:31,331 --> 01:59:33,573
Are you very much afraid, Paul?

1310
01:59:34,918 --> 01:59:36,329
No, Mother.

1311
01:59:38,880 --> 01:59:42,419
There's something I want
to say to you, Paul. It's...

1312
01:59:43,593 --> 01:59:47,587
Just be on your guard
against the women out there.

1313
01:59:48,598 --> 01:59:50,134
They're no good.

1314
01:59:50,934 --> 01:59:53,927
Where we are there aren't
any women, Mother.

1315
01:59:55,313 --> 01:59:57,805
Be very careful
at the front, Paul.

1316
01:59:58,483 --> 02:00:00,270
Yes, Mother, I will.

1317
02:00:00,652 --> 02:00:02,769
I'll pray for you every day.

1318
02:00:03,238 --> 02:00:08,450
And if you could get a job
that's not quite so dangerous...

1319
02:00:10,745 --> 02:00:13,954
Yes, Mother. I'll try and
get in the cookhouse.

1320
02:00:14,040 --> 02:00:15,247
That can easily be done.

1321
02:00:15,333 --> 02:00:18,076
You do it then, and if the
others say anything...

1322
02:00:18,169 --> 02:00:20,286
That won't worry me, Mother.

1323
02:00:21,172 --> 02:00:22,379
Now you must go to bed

1324
02:00:22,465 --> 02:00:25,629
and you must get well
quickly before I come back.

1325
02:00:27,846 --> 02:00:32,307
I put two sets of underwear,
new ones, in your pack.

1326
02:00:32,934 --> 02:00:36,348
They'll keep you nice and warm.
They're all wool.

1327
02:00:37,313 --> 02:00:38,975
That's sweet of you.

1328
02:00:39,941 --> 02:00:42,854
Good night, my son.

1329
02:00:51,161 --> 02:00:52,823
Good night, Mother.

1330
02:01:15,685 --> 02:01:19,474
Oh, Mother, Mother.
You still think I'm a child.

1331
02:01:20,565 --> 02:01:23,683
Why can't I put my head
in your lap and cry?

1332
02:01:48,259 --> 02:01:49,420
Is this the 2nd Company?

1333
02:01:49,511 --> 02:01:50,718
Yes, sir.

1334
02:02:13,660 --> 02:02:14,696
Is this all of it?

1335
02:02:14,786 --> 02:02:15,776
Yes, sir.

1336
02:02:15,912 --> 02:02:19,280
We had 150 men, but this is
all that came back yesterday.

1337
02:02:19,415 --> 02:02:22,999
But now they're going to give
us enough to make 150 again.

1338
02:02:24,087 --> 02:02:25,544
How old are you?

1339
02:02:26,256 --> 02:02:27,497
Sixteen.

1340
02:02:48,778 --> 02:02:51,236
No use.
I couldn't find anything.

1341
02:02:51,781 --> 02:02:54,194
We'll have to eat the sawdust.

1342
02:02:54,617 --> 02:02:58,611
Not me! I'll go hungry first.
This makes me sick.

1343
02:03:14,554 --> 02:03:17,046
Now it's gonna be
a real war again.

1344
02:03:17,807 --> 02:03:20,140
Paul! How's old Paul?

1345
02:03:20,560 --> 02:03:21,892
Here I am.

1346
02:03:22,312 --> 02:03:24,053
You know, the 2nd Company's
getting hard to find.

1347
02:03:24,147 --> 02:03:26,890
Nobody seemed to know
where you were.

1348
02:03:26,983 --> 02:03:28,815
I'm glad you found it.

1349
02:03:32,989 --> 02:03:35,447
I guess I don't
get much of this.

1350
02:03:40,580 --> 02:03:44,574
There used to be some food in the sawdust.
Now it's all sawdust.

1351
02:03:44,667 --> 02:03:47,831
No joke, either.
Eats you up inside.

1352
02:03:48,838 --> 02:03:51,421
This doesn't look much
like the old 2nd Company.

1353
02:03:51,507 --> 02:03:53,123
The replacements
are all like that.

1354
02:03:53,217 --> 02:03:55,925
Not even old enough
to carry a pack.

1355
02:03:56,179 --> 02:03:58,466
All they know how to do is die.

1356
02:03:59,015 --> 02:04:02,349
I guess some of the
old-timers are here yet.

1357
02:04:03,269 --> 02:04:07,104
Paul, they're trying to invent
something to kill me right now.

1358
02:04:09,150 --> 02:04:10,686
Where's Westhus?

1359
02:04:11,694 --> 02:04:15,313
Messenger dog was wounded.
He went out to get it.

1360
02:04:17,533 --> 02:04:19,240
Is it true about
the armistice, Paul?

1361
02:04:19,327 --> 02:04:20,943
Doesn't look
that way back there.

1362
02:04:21,037 --> 02:04:22,778
You mean they want us
to go on fighting?

1363
02:04:22,872 --> 02:04:23,953
That's what they say.

1364
02:04:24,040 --> 02:04:25,497
They're crazy!

1365
02:04:27,293 --> 02:04:29,626
Germany'll be empty pretty soon.

1366
02:04:30,838 --> 02:04:33,000
Where's Detering?

1367
02:04:33,841 --> 02:04:37,380
He got homesick. You remember
about the cherry blossoms?

1368
02:04:38,137 --> 02:04:40,379
I guess he never got over that.

1369
02:04:40,515 --> 02:04:42,006
He started out
one night to go home

1370
02:04:42,100 --> 02:04:44,592
and help his wife with the farm.

1371
02:04:44,686 --> 02:04:48,396
They got him behind the lines,
and we never heard of him since.

1372
02:04:48,481 --> 02:04:52,475
He was just homesick, but probably
they couldn't see it that way.

1373
02:04:54,696 --> 02:04:56,312
Where's Kat? Is he...

1374
02:04:56,406 --> 02:04:58,363
Not Kat!

1375
02:04:59,075 --> 02:05:01,362
If he were out,
the war would be over.

1376
02:05:01,536 --> 02:05:03,118
You remember
what he always says,

1377
02:05:03,204 --> 02:05:04,740
they're saving him for the last.

1378
02:05:04,831 --> 02:05:05,912
Where is he?

1379
02:05:05,999 --> 02:05:07,285
He's out looking for food,

1380
02:05:07,375 --> 02:05:09,492
trying to collect something
to make soup with.

1381
02:05:09,585 --> 02:05:11,121
Which way?

1382
02:05:11,212 --> 02:05:13,249
Down the road about
two miles that way.

1383
02:05:13,339 --> 02:05:15,046
I'll see you later.

1384
02:05:29,272 --> 02:05:30,308
Kat!

1385
02:05:35,111 --> 02:05:36,147
Paul!

1386
02:05:53,004 --> 02:05:54,415
Hello, Paul.

1387
02:05:56,090 --> 02:05:57,206
How's the side?

1388
02:05:57,300 --> 02:05:59,508
Oh, it's all right now.
It's fine.

1389
02:06:01,012 --> 02:06:02,128
Have any luck?

1390
02:06:02,263 --> 02:06:05,802
No, the general's staff's been
over this country with a rake.

1391
02:06:06,809 --> 02:06:08,641
Let's sit down a minute.

1392
02:06:11,689 --> 02:06:14,978
Tell me, Paul,
how was it at home?

1393
02:06:15,443 --> 02:06:17,105
Have a good leave?

1394
02:06:17,653 --> 02:06:18,734
In spots.

1395
02:06:18,821 --> 02:06:19,811
What's the matter?

1396
02:06:20,865 --> 02:06:25,155
Oh, I'm no good for
back there anymore, Kat.

1397
02:06:25,328 --> 02:06:28,662
None of us are.
We've been in this too long.

1398
02:06:29,207 --> 02:06:31,950
The young men thought I was a
coward because I told them that

1399
02:06:32,043 --> 02:06:35,707
we learn that death is stronger
than duty to one's country.

1400
02:06:37,006 --> 02:06:39,293
The old men said,
"Go on. Push on to Paris."

1401
02:06:39,383 --> 02:06:41,841
My father even wanted me
to wear my uniform around.

1402
02:06:44,847 --> 02:06:47,339
It's not home
back there anymore.

1403
02:06:47,558 --> 02:06:52,019
All I could think of was, "I'd like
to get back and see Kat again."

1404
02:06:54,232 --> 02:06:56,519
You're all I've got left, Kat.

1405
02:06:56,859 --> 02:06:58,851
I'm not much to have left.

1406
02:06:59,529 --> 02:07:01,191
I missed you, Paul.

1407
02:07:01,656 --> 02:07:03,864
At least we know what
it's all about out here.

1408
02:07:03,991 --> 02:07:05,857
There're no lies here.

1409
02:07:06,869 --> 02:07:08,531
Push on to Paris?

1410
02:07:09,038 --> 02:07:11,496
You ought to see what they've
got on the other side.

1411
02:07:11,582 --> 02:07:13,824
They eat white bread over there.

1412
02:07:13,918 --> 02:07:16,251
They've got dozens of
airplanes to our one

1413
02:07:16,379 --> 02:07:18,871
and tanks that'll
go over anything.

1414
02:07:19,382 --> 02:07:21,089
What've we got left?

1415
02:07:21,551 --> 02:07:24,919
Guns so worn they drop
shells on our own men.

1416
02:07:25,346 --> 02:07:28,555
No food, no ammunition,
no officers.

1417
02:07:29,392 --> 02:07:31,008
Push on to Paris!

1418
02:07:32,186 --> 02:07:34,894
So that's the way
they talk back there.

1419
02:07:36,566 --> 02:07:38,728
I guess we'd better be going.

1420
02:07:45,533 --> 02:07:47,741
How I lied to my poor mother.

1421
02:07:48,578 --> 02:07:50,911
I told her it wasn't so
bad out here because

1422
02:07:50,997 --> 02:07:53,535
there was always
a lot of us together.

1423
02:07:54,625 --> 02:07:55,991
Now that I'm with you,

1424
02:07:56,085 --> 02:07:59,123
I'm beginning to believe
that I told her the truth.

1425
02:07:59,255 --> 02:08:00,371
Down!

1426
02:08:09,599 --> 02:08:12,307
That's another one that missed us.
Come on. Let's go.

1427
02:08:12,435 --> 02:08:13,516
Wait a minute.

1428
02:08:13,603 --> 02:08:16,266
Looks like the old
bread wagon's broke down.

1429
02:08:17,273 --> 02:08:19,481
I guess I don't walk
the rest of the way.

1430
02:08:19,567 --> 02:08:20,808
Did that get you, Kat?

1431
02:08:20,902 --> 02:08:23,110
I think it broke my shin.

1432
02:08:24,989 --> 02:08:27,777
That's not so bad.
Hold it together.

1433
02:08:28,618 --> 02:08:30,405
Just my luck, huh?

1434
02:08:30,494 --> 02:08:32,531
Good luck.
That means the war is over.

1435
02:08:32,622 --> 02:08:34,454
Oh, no, sir.

1436
02:08:34,790 --> 02:08:37,658
This war don't end
till they really get me.

1437
02:08:38,920 --> 02:08:40,502
Now this one.

1438
02:08:41,088 --> 02:08:42,670
Easy, now.

1439
02:08:42,798 --> 02:08:43,879
Hey!

1440
02:08:44,008 --> 02:08:45,124
Easy!

1441
02:08:47,428 --> 02:08:50,296
Come on. I'll take you in.
Give me your hand.

1442
02:08:53,351 --> 02:08:54,467
Easy.

1443
02:08:56,103 --> 02:08:57,435
All right.

1444
02:09:07,949 --> 02:09:11,317
Well, kid, now we're
gonna be separated.

1445
02:09:12,203 --> 02:09:15,947
Maybe we can do something together
later on when the war is over.

1446
02:09:16,040 --> 02:09:17,247
Yes, kid.

1447
02:09:17,333 --> 02:09:19,416
You give me your address
and I'll give you mine.

1448
02:09:26,217 --> 02:09:28,709
You can't get both
of us in one day!

1449
02:09:29,679 --> 02:09:32,513
We'll surely see
each other again, Kat.

1450
02:09:33,391 --> 02:09:37,305
Remember that day when you brought
the whole pig into the factory?

1451
02:09:37,395 --> 02:09:41,389
And that day in the woods when you
taught us how to dodge shells?

1452
02:09:41,691 --> 02:09:45,025
And my first bombardment.
How I cried.

1453
02:09:46,362 --> 02:09:48,524
I was a young recruit then.

1454
02:09:52,368 --> 02:09:55,031
Here we are. Here we are.

1455
02:10:00,209 --> 02:10:02,041
All right now, Kat.

1456
02:10:05,214 --> 02:10:07,877
You could've spared yourself the trouble.
He's dead.

1457
02:10:07,967 --> 02:10:11,210
Oh, no. He's just fainted.
He was hit in the shin.

1458
02:10:11,387 --> 02:10:12,719
He's dead.

1459
02:10:26,652 --> 02:10:29,235
Would you like to
take his paybook?

1460
02:10:31,157 --> 02:10:32,819
You're not related, are you?

1461
02:10:32,908 --> 02:10:34,570
No, we're not related.

1462
02:10:42,918 --> 02:10:45,331
Your deal. Did you get
his name and number?

1463
02:10:45,421 --> 02:10:48,255
Yeah, Corporal
Stanislas Katczinsky, 306.

1464
02:10:55,931 --> 02:10:57,388
I don't get it.
