Narrated by
Yefim KOPELYAN

26
00:02:16,930 --> 00:02:18,537
Track down this agent for me.

27
00:02:23,249 --> 00:02:26,345
Make sure only three people
know about this:

28
00:02:26,748 --> 00:02:28,909
You, me and him.

29
00:02:33,508 --> 00:02:36,203
How long are you gonna
feed me this crap, you bastard?

30
00:02:41,484 --> 00:02:45,284
If you don't start talking,
you son of a bitch, I'll skin you alive.

31
00:02:50,674 --> 00:02:52,314
Listen carefully, Runge.

32
00:02:53,064 --> 00:02:56,251
I don't want you dead,
I want to help you out.

33
00:02:56,335 --> 00:02:58,769
In return you must do me a favor.
You hear me?

34
00:02:59,030 --> 00:03:02,725
I don't understand what you want.

35
00:03:02,809 --> 00:03:05,256
I want you to tell me honestly

36
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,802
how you ended up in that prison hospital,

37
00:03:07,886 --> 00:03:09,854
you - a perfectly healthy man - what?!

38
00:03:10,462 --> 00:03:13,353
My medical tests came out bad.

39
00:03:14,167 --> 00:03:17,052
How long are you gonna
keep lying to me, you bastard?

40
00:03:27,145 --> 00:03:28,265
Tell me, who?!

41
00:03:31,908 --> 00:03:33,535
I questioned the prison doctors.

42
00:03:35,214 --> 00:03:38,081
They said you're fit as a fiddle.

43
00:03:38,443 --> 00:03:40,567
Well? You're in perfect shape.

44
00:03:40,651 --> 00:03:41,954
Who? Who!

45
00:03:42,967 --> 00:03:46,554
What the hell are you doing?
That's outrageous! Stop it!

46
00:03:53,733 --> 00:03:54,866
Get out of here!

47
00:04:03,805 --> 00:04:05,645
Try to understand him, Runge.

48
00:04:09,419 --> 00:04:12,925
His wife and his two kids
were killed in yesterday's bombing.

49
00:04:37,511 --> 00:04:38,891
Want a cigarette?

50
00:04:59,436 --> 00:05:00,460
Thank you.

51
00:05:01,335 --> 00:05:03,915
-Thanks.
-Don't cry. Don't.

52
00:05:04,849 --> 00:05:06,115
Calm down.

53
00:05:12,958 --> 00:05:15,087
Why did he yell at you like that?

54
00:05:16,683 --> 00:05:19,789
You don't mean Stierlitz
sent you to that hospital?

55
00:05:23,670 --> 00:05:25,196
You're funny, Runge.

56
00:05:26,142 --> 00:05:28,372
Stierlitz is one of us.

57
00:05:29,912 --> 00:05:31,879
You didn't want to let him down, right?

58
00:05:33,041 --> 00:05:35,621
You can't be responsible
for our man's actions.

59
00:05:36,386 --> 00:05:39,432
He himself suggested sending you
to that hospital, right?

60
00:05:40,257 --> 00:05:41,257
Yes.

61
00:05:43,493 --> 00:05:46,692
Write down exactly what happened
and we'll call it settled.

62
00:05:47,399 --> 00:05:49,264
They're bringing you coffee now.

63
00:05:49,902 --> 00:05:53,894
Here's a pen. Sit down,
write it down, then get some sleep.

64
00:05:54,291 --> 00:05:55,291
Thank you.

65
00:05:56,676 --> 00:05:57,676
Thank you.

66
00:05:59,812 --> 00:06:00,812
Thank you.

67
00:06:21,804 --> 00:06:23,533
Good. He's cracked.

68
00:06:24,106 --> 00:06:27,866
Let him sleep about ten minutes,
then wake him and question him again.

69
00:06:27,950 --> 00:06:30,726
Beat him until he starts howling.
Keep asking just one thing:

70
00:06:30,810 --> 00:06:34,129
What deal did the man
who questioned him offer?

71
00:06:34,775 --> 00:06:36,557
That's what I want to know.

72
00:06:36,641 --> 00:06:40,035
You need to beat the truth out of him -
if not today, then within two days.

73
00:07:03,137 --> 00:07:05,024
Excuse me, can you help me?

74
00:07:05,756 --> 00:07:07,417
How did you get here?

75
00:07:08,459 --> 00:07:09,671
By the stairs.

76
00:07:11,027 --> 00:07:13,840
-Do you have a pass?
-Sure.

77
00:07:14,764 --> 00:07:16,825
We're evacuating.

78
00:07:17,381 --> 00:07:19,508
-I can see it.
-Come back tomorrow.

79
00:07:20,005 --> 00:07:23,838
Tomorrow I'll be busy.
Please, help me today.

80
00:07:24,398 --> 00:07:25,672
Depends on what you need.

81
00:07:25,756 --> 00:07:30,645
I need a book by Meyer,
1857 edition, published in Leipzig.

82
00:07:31,850 --> 00:07:35,344
Then you should have gone
to Dr. Nikenberg,

83
00:07:35,668 --> 00:07:37,795
but he's in the hospital right now.

84
00:07:38,874 --> 00:07:41,365
Too bad.
So, no one can help me?

85
00:07:41,449 --> 00:07:42,939
I really don't know.

86
00:07:43,597 --> 00:07:46,879
Then try Professor Pleischner.

87
00:07:47,704 --> 00:07:49,365
-Thank you.
-Anytime.

88
00:08:07,860 --> 00:08:09,054
You've come to me?

89
00:08:09,241 --> 00:08:10,969
Right. Good day.

90
00:08:11,443 --> 00:08:12,637
Good day.

91
00:08:13,932 --> 00:08:16,061
Good day, good day...

92
00:08:18,038 --> 00:08:20,472
-Mister...
-Stierlitz.

93
00:08:21,312 --> 00:08:25,403
Mr. Stierlitz.
My God, it's been ages.

94
00:08:27,783 --> 00:08:30,012
-And I've seen you quite recently.
-When?

95
00:08:30,505 --> 00:08:32,056
Ah, you were...

96
00:08:34,355 --> 00:08:36,655
-I came to ask you a favor.
-Welcome.

97
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:38,894
You were at the funeral.

98
00:08:41,998 --> 00:08:43,522
Excuse me, what do you want?

99
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,378
I need a book by Meyes,
published in Leipzig.

100
00:08:46,705 --> 00:08:48,537
Oh, that's a very rare edition.

101
00:08:48,620 --> 00:08:53,327
I'm afraid we've sent it
to the depository in the mountains.

102
00:08:53,411 --> 00:08:55,540
But I'll try to look for it.

103
00:08:57,616 --> 00:08:59,470
You're a clever man.

104
00:09:00,863 --> 00:09:02,649
Asking me for a book by Meyer

105
00:09:02,733 --> 00:09:06,189
is like asking you
for a ton of margarine.

106
00:09:06,696 --> 00:09:09,156
You wanted to see me, that's it.

107
00:09:11,832 --> 00:09:12,832
I'm sorry.

108
00:09:19,041 --> 00:09:21,009
Not it, not it...

109
00:09:21,844 --> 00:09:23,175
Not it.

110
00:09:37,943 --> 00:09:42,423
I'd say the Greek art is
by far too humanist, too vague.

111
00:09:43,283 --> 00:09:46,383
The Romans are tougher -
probably more like us, Germans.

112
00:09:46,816 --> 00:09:51,142
Not without reason, Mussolini considers
Julius Caesar the first fascist in history.

113
00:09:51,978 --> 00:09:54,070
The Greeks are focused on man,

114
00:09:54,154 --> 00:09:56,820
while the Romans -
on the idea, on inner logic.

115
00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:58,960
A hero.

116
00:09:59,687 --> 00:10:01,180
A role-model.

117
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,382
Kids are supposed to play him. Right?

118
00:10:11,234 --> 00:10:12,758
Why aren't you saying anything?

119
00:10:16,227 --> 00:10:20,107
Why don't you argue?
I guess you don't agree with me.

120
00:10:22,914 --> 00:10:26,374
You must hate muscular torsos

121
00:10:26,620 --> 00:10:29,680
and proudly set, square heads.

122
00:10:30,656 --> 00:10:31,816
No?

123
00:10:34,227 --> 00:10:37,255
-You had big problems, didn't you?
-Problems?

124
00:10:37,802 --> 00:10:40,496
If you can call a concentration camp
a "problem."

125
00:10:41,335 --> 00:10:45,067
You know, I was taught to argue

126
00:10:45,948 --> 00:10:49,907
only with those
I can completely trust.

127
00:10:52,147 --> 00:10:56,176
I trusted only one man -
my brother.

128
00:10:56,554 --> 00:11:00,456
How can anyone live without trust?
How do you manage?

129
00:11:02,639 --> 00:11:04,923
I manage. Yes, I do.

130
00:11:05,346 --> 00:11:07,699
I don't know why, but I trust you.

131
00:11:25,039 --> 00:11:27,419
Frau Bau, please go down
to the air-raid shelter.

132
00:11:32,861 --> 00:11:35,559
But why?

133
00:11:37,107 --> 00:11:42,266
You know very well I can
only make it halfway down the hall.

134
00:11:44,074 --> 00:11:45,913
Then I guess it's better to stay here.

135
00:11:47,013 --> 00:11:48,605
The fear reflex.

136
00:11:50,281 --> 00:11:51,578
Nothing can be done about it.

137
00:11:51,983 --> 00:11:54,144
So... where were we?

138
00:11:54,519 --> 00:11:56,284
Right, here's your book.

139
00:12:00,393 --> 00:12:04,159
You said you trust me.

140
00:12:05,460 --> 00:12:06,460
Why?

141
00:12:11,339 --> 00:12:12,465
I don't know.

142
00:12:42,406 --> 00:12:46,649
Information for consideration:
BORMANN

143
00:12:48,850 --> 00:12:52,307
The Reichsleiter -
the Führer's Nazi party deputy.

144
00:12:53,336 --> 00:12:54,351
Married.

145
00:12:54,435 --> 00:12:56,405
Father of eight children.

146
00:12:57,179 --> 00:13:01,013
Has a criminal record.
Incomplete secondary education.

147
00:13:01,997 --> 00:13:05,457
Like everyone else in the Reich,
Stierlitz knew very little about Bormann.

148
00:13:06,704 --> 00:13:09,673
There was word he'd served time
for assassination,

149
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,138
but either escaped
or was released under amnesty

150
00:13:13,443 --> 00:13:15,777
and then joined Hitler's party.

151
00:13:16,768 --> 00:13:18,901
He became Hess's private secretary,

152
00:13:19,317 --> 00:13:22,946
the only man privileged to be
on a first-name basis with the Führer...

153
00:13:24,255 --> 00:13:28,054
After Hess fled to England,
Bormann took over his position

154
00:13:28,582 --> 00:13:32,381
and authorized the Gestapo
to eliminate all his former colleagues

155
00:13:32,465 --> 00:13:35,595
from the party office.

156
00:13:35,937 --> 00:13:40,237
As before, he stayed out of sight,
avoided cameras,

157
00:13:40,815 --> 00:13:43,657
and rarely appeared at receptions.

158
00:13:44,378 --> 00:13:48,657
He showed exaggerated respect
for Göring, Goebbels, and Himmler.

159
00:13:48,859 --> 00:13:52,837
He changed only after
the Führer called him

160
00:13:52,921 --> 00:13:54,388
"his shadow."

161
00:14:10,342 --> 00:14:11,826
Bormann wrote

00:14:11,910 --> 00:14:14,140
Hitler's most important political speeches.

163
00:14:16,048 --> 00:14:17,618
Every morning,
Bormann reported to him

164
00:14:17,702 --> 00:14:20,102
on domestic and foreign affairs.

165
00:14:20,854 --> 00:14:23,240
Bormann decided whether
the Führer would receive Goebbels

166
00:14:23,324 --> 00:14:24,848
or refuse to see him,

167
00:14:25,328 --> 00:14:28,126
whether he would invite Mussolini
to dinner or not.

168
00:14:28,450 --> 00:14:30,961
Stierlitz,
like many others in the SD,

169
00:14:31,358 --> 00:14:33,690
knew that in the recent years
the Führer

170
00:14:33,922 --> 00:14:38,190
had made no major decisions
without consulting Bormann.

171
00:14:38,709 --> 00:14:40,301
Thinking about Bormann,

172
00:14:40,717 --> 00:14:44,710
Stierlitz kept coming back
to one crucial detail

173
00:14:44,928 --> 00:14:47,899
he'd once learned
in a talk with Schellenberg.

174
00:14:48,734 --> 00:14:50,098
Schellenberg had said:

175
00:14:53,551 --> 00:14:55,667
"He's already setting
a trap for him.

176
00:14:55,878 --> 00:14:58,795
You can expect anything
from that man."

177
00:14:59,312 --> 00:15:02,839
Stierlitz decided to bet on Bormann,

178
00:15:03,570 --> 00:15:06,735
first, because he'd figured out
Himmler's position,

179
00:15:06,971 --> 00:15:10,569
having betrayed his Führer
by opening talks with Dulles,

180
00:15:11,425 --> 00:15:12,664
and second,

181
00:15:13,357 --> 00:15:17,011
because there was no one else
he could rely on.

182
00:15:17,587 --> 00:15:21,887
Neither Göring nor Goebbels
had any real power left.

183
00:15:22,292 --> 00:15:24,453
So, Hitler's shadow -

184
00:15:25,072 --> 00:15:26,754
Martin Bormann.

185
00:15:31,201 --> 00:15:33,726
It was this man, Martin Bormann,

186
00:15:33,890 --> 00:15:35,786
who received through SD secret mail

187
00:15:35,870 --> 00:15:38,727
a letter stamped "Top Secret.
To be opened personally,"

188
00:15:38,811 --> 00:15:40,991
which ran:

189
00:15:46,781 --> 00:15:48,327
"Party Member Bormann!

190
00:15:48,496 --> 00:15:51,014
"Behind the Führer's back,
certain people I know

191
00:15:51,098 --> 00:15:53,796
"are playing games
with envoys of the rotten

192
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,800
"Western democracies
in Sweden and Switzerland.

193
00:15:57,025 --> 00:15:59,391
"All this is happening
while total war is underway,

194
00:15:59,708 --> 00:16:03,804
"while the future of the world
is being decided on the battlefield.

195
00:16:04,279 --> 00:16:07,782
"As an SD officer,
I could inform you

196
00:16:07,866 --> 00:16:11,479
"of certain details
of these treacherous negotiations,

197
00:16:11,767 --> 00:16:13,289
"but I need guarantees,

198
00:16:13,373 --> 00:16:16,190
"because if the SD
gets hold of this letter,

199
00:16:16,274 --> 00:16:18,449
"I'll be eliminated at once.

200
00:16:18,704 --> 00:16:21,216
"For this reason,
I'm sending this letter unsigned.

201
00:16:21,519 --> 00:16:25,039
"If you consider my information
important, I ask you

202
00:16:25,259 --> 00:16:29,393
"to come to the Neues Tor Hotel
tomorrow at 1 p.m.

203
00:16:30,336 --> 00:16:33,965
A loyal Nazi Party member,
faithful to the Führer."

204
00:17:29,072 --> 00:17:31,437
Good morning,
Reichsleiter Bormann's office.

205
00:17:32,874 --> 00:17:34,994
Good morning, Mr. Ribbentrop.

206
00:17:37,494 --> 00:17:39,834
The Reichsleiter is meeting
with army officers right now.

207
00:17:40,464 --> 00:17:42,200
I'll connect you in ten minutes.

208
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,193
Make it 30.

209
00:18:04,483 --> 00:18:08,421
"What is it? A provocation?"
Bormann thought. "Hardly.

210
00:18:08,696 --> 00:18:11,220
"Written by a lunatic?
No, not that either.

211
00:18:11,986 --> 00:18:13,749
Seems genuine."

212
00:18:15,979 --> 00:18:18,539
His first impulse was to call
the Gestapo chief Müller.

213
00:18:18,795 --> 00:18:21,059
He knew Müller owed him a favor.

214
00:18:22,084 --> 00:18:24,459
But what if the author of this letter
is from the Gestapo?

215
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:26,855
And what if Müller was in on it too?

216
00:18:27,138 --> 00:18:30,106
Rats are leaving the sinking ship -
anything's possible.

217
00:18:30,387 --> 00:18:32,683
Still, this could turn out to be

218
00:18:32,767 --> 00:18:35,238
a trump card against Himmler.

219
00:18:35,514 --> 00:18:37,709
Then I'll manage, Bormann thought,

220
00:18:37,817 --> 00:18:40,877
calmly and quietly,
ignoring that bastard,

221
00:18:41,688 --> 00:18:46,127
and transfer all Party funds
to my people's accounts, not his.

222
00:18:48,636 --> 00:18:50,554
Bormann thought it over for a while

223
00:18:50,703 --> 00:18:53,263
but couldn't reach any definite decision.

224
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:55,702
02 Mar 1945
11:40 a.m.

225
00:19:22,861 --> 00:19:25,229
Stierlitz was on his way
to meet Bormann.

226
00:19:25,705 --> 00:19:28,105
God knows why, but he was sure
Bormann would show up.

227
00:19:28,275 --> 00:19:31,471
When they're in trouble, he thought,
they suddenly turn very obliging.

228
00:21:00,781 --> 00:21:03,579
Stierlitz made another loop
to check if he was being followed.

229
00:21:04,418 --> 00:21:07,514
If he'd been tailed,
he'd shaken them off.

230
00:21:19,836 --> 00:21:21,516
Hey, pal, there you are.

231
00:21:21,884 --> 00:21:24,022
It has been a long time.
Glad to have you back.

232
00:21:30,441 --> 00:21:31,614
Step inside.

233
00:21:32,007 --> 00:21:34,374
Have a beer.
We've got Bavarian today.

234
00:21:35,761 --> 00:21:36,761
This way.

235
00:21:46,568 --> 00:21:50,162
Here, read the latest news.
It's good today.

236
00:21:50,246 --> 00:21:51,406
Bring some beer here!

237
00:21:59,215 --> 00:22:00,632
Another customer's come in.

238
00:22:00,716 --> 00:22:03,617
War or no war, when it's Bavarian beer,
everyone shows up.

239
00:22:03,812 --> 00:22:06,479
They crawl in on all fours,
but they still come every day!

240
00:22:07,405 --> 00:22:09,635
Hey, buddy!

241
00:22:10,260 --> 00:22:12,778
Paul, you're a real soap bubble,
that's what you are!

242
00:22:12,862 --> 00:22:14,900
Looks like you haven't lost
any weight, either.

243
00:22:16,187 --> 00:22:17,726
You came. Glad to see you.

244
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:19,200
Come on in.

245
00:22:20,472 --> 00:22:24,101
Go enjoy your beer.
We've got Bavarian today.

246
00:22:24,643 --> 00:22:26,237
I prefer vodka.

247
00:22:27,149 --> 00:22:30,044
Never mind, have some beer.
It won't kill you.

248
00:22:30,517 --> 00:22:31,814
Bring beer here!

249
00:22:53,015 --> 00:22:55,345
They've been tailing me.
Yeah, they've been tailing me.

250
00:22:55,967 --> 00:22:59,664
If they start following me again,
it means something's up.

251
00:23:02,220 --> 00:23:03,915
But what could've happened?

252
00:23:34,229 --> 00:23:37,564
What could've happened?
Stierlitz kept asking himself.

253
00:23:38,295 --> 00:23:42,095
He wasn't expecting
any radio contact, so no slip there.

254
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,193
Some old business?

255
00:23:46,092 --> 00:23:48,560
They don't have time
for the new ones anyway.

256
00:23:49,108 --> 00:23:50,108
Hold on.

257
00:23:50,842 --> 00:23:51,900
Erwin.

258
00:23:56,229 --> 00:23:58,729
What if they found the transmitter?

259
00:24:05,961 --> 00:24:08,691
Hey, old friend.

260
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:13,654
He made a mistake.

261
00:24:14,869 --> 00:24:18,389
He should've checked every hospital.
What if someone's been hurt?

262
00:24:19,909 --> 00:24:22,522
He never should've trusted the phones.

263
00:24:25,757 --> 00:24:27,584
I'll have to look into it myself.

264
00:24:28,247 --> 00:24:30,806
And fast - today.

265
00:25:17,529 --> 00:25:18,797
No one's tailing him now.

266
00:25:18,881 --> 00:25:20,980
Stierlitz thought:
"Maybe it's my imagination?

267
00:25:21,064 --> 00:25:24,818
"Maybe Schellenberg was testing me
before the operation with Schlag?

268
00:25:24,902 --> 00:25:26,757
Or maybe it was just nerves."

269
00:26:02,060 --> 00:26:04,679
He was supposed to cross this park
to reach another street,

270
00:26:04,763 --> 00:26:06,480
toward the Natural History Museum,

271
00:26:09,469 --> 00:26:13,131
He walked through a park
that belonged to the Charité clinic.

272
00:26:14,373 --> 00:26:15,693
He was completely unaware

273
00:26:15,777 --> 00:26:18,837
that this was exactly
where Kät was staying.

274
00:27:16,179 --> 00:27:18,965
On this square,
by the Neues Tor hotel,

275
00:27:19,049 --> 00:27:21,313
an hour later
he was to meet Bormann.

276
00:27:22,079 --> 00:27:23,986
He'd picked this place on purpose.

277
00:27:24,225 --> 00:27:26,757
From here you could see clearly
in any direction.

278
00:27:28,093 --> 00:27:30,583
It was calm and quiet
on the square.

279
00:27:30,865 --> 00:27:35,161
However, Stierlitz thought they
could place their men in the hotel.

280
00:27:36,409 --> 00:27:39,776
If Bormann had informed Himmler,
that's exactly what they would do.

281
00:27:40,813 --> 00:27:43,978
Otherwise Bormann's people
would be hanging about

282
00:27:44,062 --> 00:27:47,545
here, by the entrance
on the opposite side.

283
00:28:09,307 --> 00:28:11,672
Stierlitz came here rather often.

284
00:28:11,953 --> 00:28:14,561
At the Reich Security Office,
they knew

285
00:28:14,645 --> 00:28:17,810
that he often met
with his agents at museums.

286
00:28:18,677 --> 00:28:20,969
The curator, who'd been here
for many years

287
00:28:21,053 --> 00:28:23,979
and was no doubt an informant himself,
knew him personally.

288
00:28:24,063 --> 00:28:26,465
It suited Stierlitz very well.

289
00:28:44,965 --> 00:28:46,867
He had 20 minutes before the meeting.

290
00:28:46,951 --> 00:28:49,899
Agent Klaus was supposed
to come here to meet him right now.

291
00:28:50,039 --> 00:28:54,150
That morning, he sent a coded message
to his address through the secretariat.

292
00:29:02,100 --> 00:29:06,232
Express telegram, please.
I want my agent to meet me at 12:40.

293
00:29:11,477 --> 00:29:14,708
Your watch is two minutes slow.

294
00:29:18,872 --> 00:29:22,189
Since all knew
that he met his agents at museums,

295
00:29:22,874 --> 00:29:24,842
this telegram could serve as an excuse,

296
00:29:24,926 --> 00:29:27,819
should anyone wonder why he was here.

297
00:29:35,613 --> 00:29:38,047
By inviting Klaus
he pursued two goals.

298
00:29:39,069 --> 00:29:43,267
Primarily - it was an alibi in case
Bormann told Himmler about the letter,

299
00:29:43,351 --> 00:29:46,624
and have them search the area
and every building around.

300
00:29:46,707 --> 00:29:50,816
And secondly - to reconfirm,
albeit indirectly,

301
00:29:51,193 --> 00:29:53,750
his alibi in case Klaus was missing.

302
00:32:29,905 --> 00:32:32,567
But it didn't work
as Stierlitz had planned.

303
00:32:33,142 --> 00:32:34,803
Bormann never showed up.

304
00:32:35,747 --> 00:32:38,511
Probably, Bormann didn't get
the letter, Stierlitz thought,

305
00:32:38,649 --> 00:32:40,344
and for that reason didn't come?

306
00:32:50,636 --> 00:32:53,002
Meanwhile Bormann was
in the meeting with the Führer.

307
00:32:53,265 --> 00:32:56,168
It was not on his agenda to go
to the Neues Tor hotel.

308
00:32:56,522 --> 00:32:59,158
He desperately wanted to see the man,
who'd written the letter,

309
00:32:59,242 --> 00:33:01,640
but decided not to rush
the events and to wait.

310
00:33:02,343 --> 00:33:05,662
If it's serious,
this man will definitely

311
00:33:05,854 --> 00:33:07,902
make contact again,
Bormann thought.

312
00:33:24,234 --> 00:33:26,136
Go down carefully.

313
00:33:32,029 --> 00:33:35,090
Quick.
Don't make any noise.

314
00:33:37,818 --> 00:33:38,818
Be quiet.

315
00:33:42,942 --> 00:33:44,739
V-192 - to Müller.

316
00:33:44,991 --> 00:33:47,866
Top secret. Only copy.

317
00:33:47,950 --> 00:33:50,147
The owner of the Mercedes-Benz,

318
00:33:50,231 --> 00:33:53,564
at 12:27 he entered the building
of the Natural History Museum.

319
00:33:53,701 --> 00:33:55,254
Since you'd warned of the high

320
00:33:55,338 --> 00:33:57,704
about the subject's professional skills,

321
00:33:58,141 --> 00:34:02,328
I avoided following him inside
the museum with just one or two visitors.

322
00:34:02,412 --> 00:34:04,904
My agent Ilze was assigned to bring

323
00:34:04,987 --> 00:34:08,246
some students for a class
in the museum halls.

324
00:34:08,459 --> 00:34:11,671
The information provided by Ilze shows

325
00:34:11,755 --> 00:34:14,841
that the subject contacted no strangers.

326
00:34:14,925 --> 00:34:16,690
V-192.

327
00:34:21,734 --> 00:34:23,258
Müller speaking.

328
00:34:23,669 --> 00:34:26,538
Mr. Shelendark sends his regards
to Mr. Müller.

329
00:34:26,908 --> 00:34:28,876
Or do you prefer "Mister"?

330
00:34:29,477 --> 00:34:32,314
Just "Müller" will do.

331
00:34:33,046 --> 00:34:35,482
Categorical, modest and tasteful.

332
00:34:35,951 --> 00:34:37,714
I'm listening, buddy.

333
00:34:39,121 --> 00:34:42,246
Straight to the point, or he'll dodge -
you know him, a real fox.

334
00:34:43,158 --> 00:34:46,095
Buddy, I have Stierlitz here now.

335
00:34:46,804 --> 00:34:48,416
You remember him, right?

336
00:34:48,665 --> 00:34:49,665
Good.

337
00:34:49,933 --> 00:34:52,060
He feels kind of confused.

338
00:34:52,869 --> 00:34:55,085
Either criminals are following him -

339
00:34:55,169 --> 00:34:56,955
even though he lives
alone in the woods -

340
00:34:57,039 --> 00:34:58,769
or your men are tailing him.

341
00:34:58,853 --> 00:35:01,329
Help me sort this out.

342
00:35:04,549 --> 00:35:06,109
What's the car model?

343
00:35:06,695 --> 00:35:08,782
Your car model?

344
00:35:09,535 --> 00:35:12,662
-Mercedes-Benz.
-Mercedes - Benz.

345
00:35:13,693 --> 00:35:15,856
Don't cover the receiver with your hand.

346
00:35:16,401 --> 00:35:18,482
Hand it to Stierlitz.

347
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,345
Are you a clairvoyant or what?

348
00:35:30,312 --> 00:35:31,438
Heil Hitler.

349
00:35:31,941 --> 00:35:33,636
Good day, buddy.

350
00:35:34,312 --> 00:35:37,683
Tell me, is your license plate number

351
00:35:37,767 --> 00:35:40,634
661125 by any chance?

352
00:35:41,359 --> 00:35:43,156
Right, Gruppenführer.

353
00:35:44,088 --> 00:35:47,992
Where did they start tailing you?
On Kurfürstendamm?

354
00:35:49,536 --> 00:35:52,197
And where did you lose them?
Veteranenstrasse?

355
00:35:52,664 --> 00:35:53,664
Exactly.

356
00:35:54,473 --> 00:35:55,737
You noticed them, didn't you?

357
00:35:56,377 --> 00:35:57,776
And what do you think?

358
00:35:58,259 --> 00:36:01,612
I'd wring their necks.
They're doing a fine job!

359
00:36:02,186 --> 00:36:05,712
Relax, Stierlitz.
Those following you aren't criminals.

360
00:36:06,055 --> 00:36:08,261
Live peacefully in your forest.

361
00:36:08,531 --> 00:36:10,122
They're our men.

362
00:36:10,492 --> 00:36:14,588
They're tailing a "Benz" like yours,
owned by a South American.

363
00:36:14,896 --> 00:36:16,866
Keep on living as before.

364
00:36:17,107 --> 00:36:20,549
But if they mix you up
with that South American again,

365
00:36:20,633 --> 00:36:24,936
and report you frequent
the "Blue Beard" bar,

366
00:36:25,276 --> 00:36:27,177
I won't cover for you.

367
00:36:27,980 --> 00:36:30,675
But what if I have to
go there for work?

368
00:36:30,808 --> 00:36:31,866
Doesn't matter.

369
00:36:32,150 --> 00:36:35,588
If you need to meet your people
in shady spots,

370
00:36:35,813 --> 00:36:37,686
go to the "Mexico" bar instead.

371
00:36:38,692 --> 00:36:40,489
"Mexico"? Thanks.

372
00:36:43,230 --> 00:36:46,818
That was Müller's trap.
Counterintelligence ran the place.

373
00:36:46,902 --> 00:36:49,063
Stierlitz knew it from Schellenberg.

374
00:36:49,605 --> 00:36:51,388
There was a special order

375
00:36:51,472 --> 00:36:54,999
forbidding party members
and officers to enter.

376
00:36:55,170 --> 00:36:59,178
That's why naive braggarts
thought they were perfectly safe,

377
00:36:59,262 --> 00:37:02,857
not knowing every table
was bugged by the Gestapo.

378
00:37:04,710 --> 00:37:05,986
Alright, thanks then.

379
00:37:06,291 --> 00:37:08,655
If you approve,
I'll hold my meetings

380
00:37:08,739 --> 00:37:10,189
at the "Mexico."

381
00:37:10,361 --> 00:37:13,649
But if I'm cornered,
I'll come to you for help.

382
00:37:14,298 --> 00:37:17,396
You're welcome.
Always glad to see you. Heil Hitler.

383
00:37:48,739 --> 00:37:51,263
Stierlitz didn't believe Müller.

384
00:37:51,995 --> 00:37:54,987
Still, that evening,
on some important business,

385
00:37:55,380 --> 00:37:57,299
he called for an office car.

386
00:38:01,206 --> 00:38:03,738
Werner - to Müller.
Top secret.

387
00:38:03,822 --> 00:38:05,290
Only copy.

388
00:38:05,426 --> 00:38:07,878
At 19:42 today,
the subject requested

389
00:38:07,962 --> 00:38:11,995
an office car, a Wanderer,
plate 956183.

390
00:38:12,079 --> 00:38:16,587
He asked the driver to drop him off
at the Mittelplatz station.

391
00:38:16,671 --> 00:38:18,025
He got off there.

392
00:38:18,125 --> 00:38:20,629
Attempts to find him
at other stations

393
00:38:20,713 --> 00:38:22,289
were unsuccessful.

394
00:38:22,373 --> 00:38:23,373
Werner.

395
00:38:27,151 --> 00:38:29,948
Never thought I'd miss you.

396
00:38:30,820 --> 00:38:33,015
I don't know what you do,

397
00:38:33,389 --> 00:38:36,519
I only know you were
my late brother's friend.

398
00:38:38,026 --> 00:38:41,356
But I've always enjoyed
your company, Mr. Stierlitz.

399
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:42,464
Thank you.

400
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:44,140
This way.

401
00:38:53,325 --> 00:38:57,195
-You freezing out here?
-Yeah. Freezing to death, really.

402
00:39:00,431 --> 00:39:04,931
What can you do?
Everyone's freezing these days.

403
00:39:05,191 --> 00:39:07,780
Hitler's bunker
is nice and warm, though.

404
00:39:07,864 --> 00:39:09,388
That's for sure.

405
00:39:09,866 --> 00:39:12,163
The Führer's has to stay warm.

406
00:39:13,435 --> 00:39:16,668
How can our troubles compare
to his worries and concerns?

407
00:39:17,232 --> 00:39:19,938
Who are we anyway?
Just ordinary people.

408
00:39:21,678 --> 00:39:24,408
But he has to care
for all the Germans.

409
00:39:24,694 --> 00:39:26,664
Come on, Professor.

410
00:39:27,907 --> 00:39:31,239
That crazy maniac sent millions
to die under the bombs,

411
00:39:31,323 --> 00:39:33,814
and now he's hiding like a coward
in his bunker,

412
00:39:33,898 --> 00:39:36,133
watching movies with his henchmen.

413
00:39:38,625 --> 00:39:39,982
You agree?

414
00:39:42,322 --> 00:39:43,346
Here we are.

415
00:39:44,678 --> 00:39:46,944
Your brother, and my friend,

416
00:39:48,183 --> 00:39:49,878
he was an antifascist,

417
00:39:51,341 --> 00:39:53,025
a member of the underground.

418
00:39:53,199 --> 00:39:56,209
For years he led a Resistance group.

419
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:58,484
He helped me.

420
00:40:01,511 --> 00:40:04,571
You never asked what I do.

421
00:40:05,208 --> 00:40:08,337
I'm an SS-Standartenführer
and also in military intelligence.

422
00:40:08,613 --> 00:40:10,307
No. No, and no again.

423
00:40:10,735 --> 00:40:14,102
My brother couldn't have been
a provocateur - I don't buy it.

424
00:40:16,629 --> 00:40:20,565
He never was. But me?
I'm truly in military intelligence.

425
00:40:23,796 --> 00:40:25,493
Soviet military intelligence.

426
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:37,544
Do you remember your
brother's handwriting well?

427
00:40:38,714 --> 00:40:40,011
Sure.

428
00:40:43,306 --> 00:40:46,835
This is your brother's
death-letter to me.

429
00:40:55,921 --> 00:40:56,945
"My dear friend.

430
00:40:58,169 --> 00:41:00,137
"Thank you for everything.

431
00:41:03,868 --> 00:41:06,634
"I've learned so much from you.

432
00:41:07,581 --> 00:41:10,048
"I've learned how to love,

433
00:41:11,156 --> 00:41:14,323
"and in that name of love,

434
00:41:14,407 --> 00:41:19,938
to hate all those bringing slavery
to the German people."

435
00:41:21,950 --> 00:41:23,315
"Pleischner."

436
00:41:26,223 --> 00:41:28,885
He wrote in this way,
fearing the Gestapo.

437
00:41:30,393 --> 00:41:33,113
But, as you see,
slavery is brought to Germans

438
00:41:33,196 --> 00:41:36,099
by Bolshevik hordes
and American forces, right?

439
00:41:37,869 --> 00:41:40,497
Or maybe Hitler brought it to you?

440
00:41:42,941 --> 00:41:44,203
And the Nazis?

441
00:41:49,976 --> 00:41:52,376
Stierlitz regretted
saying all this,

442
00:41:52,655 --> 00:41:56,412
and that he'd come
to the poor man with his business.

443
00:41:56,797 --> 00:41:59,357
"But why my business?"
he thought.

444
00:41:59,594 --> 00:42:02,256
"It's mainly theirs,
the Germans' business.

445
00:42:02,516 --> 00:42:04,643
"Which means it's his business too.

446
00:42:05,902 --> 00:42:09,060
I'm just doing their job for them."

447
00:42:12,374 --> 00:42:13,773
I understand.

448
00:42:17,033 --> 00:42:18,830
Now I get it all.

449
00:42:21,645 --> 00:42:25,104
You can fully rely on me.

450
00:42:26,325 --> 00:42:27,917
But I was in a concentration camp.

451
00:42:28,767 --> 00:42:30,893
I must warn you,

452
00:42:31,797 --> 00:42:32,917
if they

453
00:42:34,358 --> 00:42:35,389
strike my ribs

454
00:42:35,936 --> 00:42:37,836
with a whip,

455
00:42:38,705 --> 00:42:40,343
I may break.

456
00:42:42,042 --> 00:42:43,304
I understand.

457
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:59,723
What did you feel
when I told you about myself?

458
00:43:02,799 --> 00:43:03,952
Relief.

459
00:43:04,487 --> 00:43:06,199
Big relief.

460
00:43:07,718 --> 00:43:09,413
Then we'll do the job.

461
00:43:10,346 --> 00:43:11,844
And do it well.

462
00:43:18,751 --> 00:43:20,651
What should I do?

463
00:43:21,888 --> 00:43:23,480
Nothing. Just live on.

464
00:43:24,390 --> 00:43:28,829
And be ready any minute
to do what's required...

465
00:43:30,397 --> 00:43:31,864
For whom?

466
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:34,680
-For Germany
-For whom?

467
00:43:34,793 --> 00:43:37,730
I mean Germany, not the Reich.

468
00:43:39,086 --> 00:43:43,512
You have to admit, there's a world of
difference between those two.

469
00:43:48,186 --> 00:43:49,380
Absolutely.

470
00:43:51,321 --> 00:43:54,757
Italy.
Emergency military airfield, Boltsana.

471
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:57,846
If they shoot you down,
anything can happen in war.

472
00:43:57,930 --> 00:44:00,160
You are to burn this letter

473
00:44:00,244 --> 00:44:02,620
before unbuckling the parachute straps.

474
00:44:02,835 --> 00:44:06,136
I won't be able to burn it
before unbuckling.

475
00:44:06,340 --> 00:44:08,331
I'll be dragged against
the ground otherwise.

476
00:44:09,731 --> 00:44:13,496
But the first thing I'll do
after unbuckling is burn it.

477
00:44:13,580 --> 00:44:15,743
Let's agree on that plan.

478
00:44:40,151 --> 00:44:41,516
Here's the letter.

479
00:44:45,223 --> 00:44:49,558
Destroy it even if you're
shot down over the Reichstag.

480
00:45:14,783 --> 00:45:17,379
Karl Wolff had good reason
to be afraid.

481
00:45:17,521 --> 00:45:20,942
If the letter fell into
anyone else's hands but Himmler's,

482
00:45:21,026 --> 00:45:22,755
his fate would be sealed.

483
00:45:32,304 --> 00:45:35,399
Seven hours later, Himmler unsealed it.

484
00:45:36,717 --> 00:45:38,210
Dear Reichsführer,

485
00:45:38,445 --> 00:45:40,830
shortly after arriving in Bern,

486
00:45:40,914 --> 00:45:43,834
I began sorting the data
collected by our secret agents here,

487
00:45:43,917 --> 00:45:46,704
at Allen Dulles' office in Bern,

488
00:45:46,788 --> 00:45:48,449
and drew one major conclusion.

489
00:45:48,824 --> 00:45:53,244
Dulles, like us, is concerned
about the real prospect

490
00:45:53,328 --> 00:45:56,731
of Communist regimes forming
in Northern Italy,

491
00:45:57,053 --> 00:46:00,819
which could create a communist belt

492
00:46:01,297 --> 00:46:03,993
from Togliatti
to Maurice Thorez in France.

493
00:46:04,521 --> 00:46:07,669
I just returned from a meeting
with Dulles' envoys,

494
00:46:07,753 --> 00:46:09,687
Gäwernitz and Güsmann.

495
00:46:12,677 --> 00:46:17,013
Tomorrow, Thursday, March 8,
there's a meeting with Dulles.

496
00:46:18,104 --> 00:46:19,799
08 Mar 1945
3:30 p.m.

497
00:46:34,888 --> 00:46:38,917
BERN
Residence of the U.S. Special Service

498
00:46:47,058 --> 00:46:48,551
Fabulous contralto.

499
00:46:49,753 --> 00:46:52,722
I'd say, Italian voices
are the best in the world.

500
00:46:53,497 --> 00:46:54,497
What?

501
00:46:54,932 --> 00:46:57,596
I'm saying Italians have
very special voices.

502
00:46:58,104 --> 00:47:00,072
Either because of the sea -

503
00:47:00,940 --> 00:47:04,205
a warm sea,
while in Germany it's cold -

504
00:47:04,743 --> 00:47:06,110
or maybe it's...

505
00:47:07,655 --> 00:47:09,643
the Italian sky.

506
00:47:12,619 --> 00:47:14,314
It's kind of mystical.

507
00:48:51,672 --> 00:48:53,902
Seems this clock is slow.

508
00:48:54,775 --> 00:48:57,302
-No, it shows the correct time.
-Really?

509
00:48:59,122 --> 00:49:00,885
Then my watch is fast.

510
00:49:01,757 --> 00:49:03,315
Two minutes fast.

511
00:49:04,521 --> 00:49:06,286
I hate waiting. How about you?

512
00:49:06,785 --> 00:49:09,913
-When I have to...
-Wonderful contralto. Wonderful.

513
00:50:20,655 --> 00:50:22,589
-How do you do?
-Good day.

514
00:50:23,917 --> 00:50:26,889
-Did you have breakfast?
-Yes, thank you. This way.

515
00:50:29,527 --> 00:50:33,826
Allen Dulles, chief of the U.S. Office
of Strategic Services in Europe.

516
00:50:38,090 --> 00:50:40,422
What a beautiful day, isn't it?

517
00:50:40,659 --> 00:50:42,024
Very beautiful.

518
00:50:45,083 --> 00:50:49,249
Another of our men
is due to arrive now,

519
00:50:50,570 --> 00:50:52,197
and then we'll start.

520
00:50:53,959 --> 00:50:55,724
He'll be here any minute.

521
00:51:54,736 --> 00:51:57,935
General, do you realize

522
00:51:59,316 --> 00:52:01,750
that Germany has lost this war?

523
00:52:02,503 --> 00:52:03,503
Yes.

524
00:52:03,994 --> 00:52:06,849
I understand that
Germany has lost the war.

525
00:52:07,178 --> 00:52:09,044
But should we start these negotiations

526
00:52:09,128 --> 00:52:12,509
with such a painful auto-da-fe
for me as a German?

527
00:52:13,298 --> 00:52:16,861
Do you understand that
unconditional capitulation

528
00:52:17,671 --> 00:52:21,072
can serve as the practical basis
for these talks?

529
00:52:21,668 --> 00:52:22,692
I do.

530
00:52:23,328 --> 00:52:24,818
I understand.

531
00:52:25,948 --> 00:52:27,848
However, in case you

532
00:52:28,016 --> 00:52:31,473
intend to speak for Himmler,

533
00:52:32,420 --> 00:52:35,082
these talks will collapse
before they start.

534
00:52:40,730 --> 00:52:43,597
Mr. Dulles will be forced to withdraw.

535
00:52:48,853 --> 00:52:51,252
I reckon continuing this war

536
00:52:51,479 --> 00:52:55,431
would be a crime against both
the German people and European culture,

537
00:52:55,515 --> 00:52:59,542
especially now that we've
taken steps toward negotiations.

538
00:53:01,554 --> 00:53:02,554
You.

539
00:53:05,123 --> 00:53:06,123
We.

540
00:53:07,020 --> 00:53:08,988
Both America and Germany.

541
00:53:11,198 --> 00:53:15,690
I'm ready to place my organization
at your disposal -

542
00:53:15,774 --> 00:53:19,707
it's the most powerful in Germany,
the SS and the SD -

543
00:53:20,035 --> 00:53:23,047
at yours and your allies' disposal

544
00:53:23,328 --> 00:53:25,772
with one aim: to stop the war

545
00:53:26,209 --> 00:53:29,437
and to prevent communist regimes
from taking hold

546
00:53:29,521 --> 00:53:31,545
either in Italy or Germany.

547
00:53:37,476 --> 00:53:41,105
I assume that before
these discussions with me,

548
00:53:41,740 --> 00:53:44,607
and before agreeing
to begin official negotiations,

549
00:53:45,003 --> 00:53:46,597
though they're meant to be secret,

550
00:53:46,807 --> 00:53:50,206
you made inquiries and learned
that my rank in Germany is

551
00:53:50,290 --> 00:53:51,848
SS-Obergruppenführer.

552
00:53:53,746 --> 00:53:55,346
And I hold the position

553
00:53:55,756 --> 00:53:58,652
as Chief of Reichsführer Himmler's
private headquarters.

554
00:53:58,820 --> 00:54:00,583
General, you just said

555
00:54:00,667 --> 00:54:04,351
you're placing the SS and the SD
at our disposal.

556
00:54:05,140 --> 00:54:06,769
Do you mean to say

557
00:54:07,598 --> 00:54:10,172
you'll take control of the Wehrmacht,

558
00:54:10,256 --> 00:54:12,667
and with Field Marshal Kesselring
in particular?

559
00:54:13,021 --> 00:54:15,115
Or will Field Marshal Kesselring

560
00:54:16,083 --> 00:54:18,270
carry out your orders?

561
00:54:19,510 --> 00:54:21,205
I understand what you mean.

562
00:54:21,946 --> 00:54:24,471
I understand you, Mr. Gäwernitz.

563
00:54:25,716 --> 00:54:27,884
But I need your guarantees,

564
00:54:27,968 --> 00:54:32,125
tomorrow I can start discussing it
with Field Marshal Kesselring

565
00:54:33,024 --> 00:54:34,924
in depth and in detail.

566
00:54:35,730 --> 00:54:37,322
All right, that sounds reasonable.

567
00:54:38,779 --> 00:54:40,178
But you must understand

568
00:54:40,861 --> 00:54:44,558
that as soon as Kesselring
orders capitulation here -

569
00:54:44,705 --> 00:54:48,125
in Italy, where we control
over 1.5 million men -

570
00:54:48,278 --> 00:54:51,735
it will trigger a chain reaction
on the other fronts.

571
00:54:52,447 --> 00:54:55,133
I mean the Western Front - Norway,

572
00:54:55,217 --> 00:54:57,914
Denmark, and western Germany.

573
00:55:01,951 --> 00:55:03,978
Thus on the Eastern Front,

574
00:55:04,061 --> 00:55:07,726
the fighting could continue
with increasing force.

575
00:55:15,167 --> 00:55:18,137
If I have your guarantees,

576
00:55:18,912 --> 00:55:23,849
I'm willing to commit myself
to prevent Italy's destruction.

577
00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:27,585
And it's already been ordered
by Hitler.

578
00:55:28,557 --> 00:55:31,642
We have orders to destroy
all art galleries

579
00:55:31,725 --> 00:55:33,317
and all landmarks.

580
00:55:33,528 --> 00:55:37,728
In other words, to level to the ground
what belongs to human history.

581
00:55:42,605 --> 00:55:44,766
At the risk to my life,

582
00:55:45,510 --> 00:55:46,977
I've already rescued and

583
00:55:47,879 --> 00:55:53,009
hidden paintings from
the Uffizi and Pitti galleries,

584
00:55:54,912 --> 00:55:58,042
and King Victor Emmanuel's
coin collection.

585
00:56:36,268 --> 00:56:40,432
Do you have Titian,
El Greco, Botticelli there?

586
00:56:42,474 --> 00:56:44,408
Yes - El Greco, Botticelli.

587
00:56:45,785 --> 00:56:49,152
What would that be worth
in dollar terms?

588
00:56:52,719 --> 00:56:56,814
They have no price.
These masterpieces are priceless.

589
00:57:18,836 --> 00:57:21,828
I'm ready to work with you,
General Wolff.

590
00:57:26,526 --> 00:57:28,790
But you must give me guarantees.

591
00:57:34,393 --> 00:57:38,354
First, you won't
contact anyone but me.

592
00:57:41,882 --> 00:57:43,873
I suppose I don't need to say it twice.

593
00:57:44,334 --> 00:57:47,033
The fact we are negotiating
is to be known only to those

594
00:57:47,116 --> 00:57:50,084
present here now - you, me,

595
00:57:51,553 --> 00:57:53,214
your man,

596
00:57:54,690 --> 00:57:56,159
and my friends.

597
00:57:58,488 --> 00:58:01,037
In that case we could hardly call
a truce, Mr. Dulles.

598
00:58:03,453 --> 00:58:06,822
Since you're not President
of the United States,

599
00:58:06,939 --> 00:58:09,998
and I'm not Chancellor of Germany.

600
00:58:37,741 --> 00:58:41,404
Tell me, Allen,
shall I report to the President,

601
00:58:42,345 --> 00:58:43,937
or will you?

602
00:58:46,084 --> 00:58:48,218
For now there's no need
to report to the President.

603
00:58:49,547 --> 00:58:51,564
Don't take your eyes off the road, Güsmann.

604
00:58:54,230 --> 00:58:56,266
We might crash - that'd be a shame.

605
00:58:57,230 --> 00:58:58,670
The war is ending.

606
00:59:02,955 --> 00:59:04,962
Defying the President's policy?

607
00:59:07,943 --> 00:59:10,240
It's the first time I feel like a criminal.

608
00:59:11,245 --> 00:59:12,769
The first time in my life.

609
00:59:13,873 --> 00:59:15,238
And you, Güsmann?

610
00:59:18,073 --> 00:59:20,871
-It might cost us our heads.
-Sure.

611
00:59:22,024 --> 00:59:25,524
Every day, every hour, every minute
could cost us our heads.

612
00:59:26,684 --> 00:59:29,397
We'll inform only our chief, Donovan,

613
00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:32,961
and see what he decides.

614
00:59:35,141 --> 00:59:38,393
Anyway, the only chance
to save Europe from Bolshevism

615
00:59:38,477 --> 00:59:41,935
is to make a truce
with Germany quickly,

616
00:59:42,814 --> 00:59:45,297
without delay and without
wasting time on politicians.

617
00:59:48,189 --> 00:59:49,554
And what about the Russians?

618
00:59:55,475 --> 00:59:56,549
Russians?

619
00:59:59,153 --> 01:00:02,520
Once the document is signed
and comes into effect,

620
01:00:03,365 --> 01:00:06,928
they can say whatever they want -
it can't be undone.

621
01:00:07,484 --> 01:00:08,849
Let's wait and see.

622
01:00:10,613 --> 01:00:14,879
In politics, the first move matters -
resolve, determination, and a clear goal.

623
01:00:16,534 --> 01:00:18,900
The rest, the future will forgive us.

624
01:00:24,362 --> 01:00:26,195
08 Mar 1945
5:10 p.m.

625
01:00:31,169 --> 01:00:34,882
Today, on March 8,
the troops of the 53rd Army

626
01:00:34,967 --> 01:00:37,819
of the 2nd Ukrainian Front
in Czechoslovakia

627
01:00:37,903 --> 01:00:40,796
liberated the town of Banská Štiavnica.

628
01:00:42,283 --> 01:00:44,332
The armies of the 3rd Ukrainian Front

629
01:00:44,416 --> 01:00:47,869
continued resisting massive
enemy tank and infantry attacks

630
01:00:47,953 --> 01:00:49,949
at Lake Balaton.

631
01:00:56,400 --> 01:00:58,561
In the battles at Lake Balaton,

632
01:00:59,070 --> 01:01:03,123
the squad leader
of the 1288th Infantry Regiment

633
01:01:03,207 --> 01:01:07,460
of the 113th Infantry Division
under the 3rd Ukrainian Front,

634
01:01:07,733 --> 01:01:09,864
Guards Sergeant Smyshlyayev

635
01:01:09,948 --> 01:01:13,894
blew up an enemy tank
and died a hero's death.

636
01:01:14,398 --> 01:01:16,458
In the battles at Lake Balaton,

637
01:01:17,028 --> 01:01:22,314
the leader of the 239th
