Translation: Ferry Taylor

My name is Ludwig Herkel. I'm a volunteer in the 1st SS division I'm 20 years.

Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler. I earned the rank of Unterscharf�hrer yesterday.

I'm now, for the first time given responsibility.

What's wrong? I heard a sound from there.

In front of us.

Very well. What should I do?

Wait here! Sure.

Ambush! Fall back! Fall back!

I felt like an idiot, hiding Like a rabbit, and leaving my Men behind.

This will not happen again.

Over here!

What do we do now? Quiet!

It happened so fast. What do we do now? Shut the fuck up! The're still trying going to kill us.

You didn't see anyone else?

Damn it! We need to get out of here!

What is the plan? Must be the quietest Possible and retreat to our company.

I can't hear anything. Let's go.

Where is your rifle? There is no problem.

You'll go first.

It can't be far. How do you feel? Everything all right?

Yes.

You're Steiner, right? Yea!

Hans was my friend.

I'm sorry.

He was a good comrade. You will have the opportunity to venge him.

You're still alive. We go on.

The situation in recent months was Becoming more and more difficult.

We thought that we would win the war quickly And see a great German Reich.

But it's one year after Barbarossa, and we are still here Against the Soviet soldiers and partizans.

But we don't give in, we'll go to the end. We are proud the fuhrer chose us to fight here.

In the beautiful Heron the wind blows cold.

In the beautiful Heron the wind blows cold.

Beautiful Heron.

In their heights the wind blows cold.

But even the smallest ray of sunshine,

Goes straight to the heart.

This week we have a new company commander.

Untersturmf�hrer Krobel.

After the campaign in France, he He was assigned to the ranks of the Waffen SS.

They say that he wanted to be at the front for a long time.

And that finally he was granted the permission.

He is a great leader and a good example.

He had a good situational awareness.

Get ready!

Let's go!

My son is also going to be a pilot.

All to the right side!

Attention!

Untersturmf�hrer! Yes!

Take the second platoon and occupy the Line of trenches!

The infantry is not here yet. Yeah! Herkel!

Here!

Herkel, listen! We cross the road and we occupy The first line of trenches.

For defence.

Move foreward!

Go!

Russian plane! We are exposed. we must move forward!

Go!

Listen! This is the second line. Let's move on.

On my command!

Take cover!

Herkel! Herkel! Move!

Down!

Looks! Untersturmf�hrer! They're taking fire!

We need to keep the line!

Nobody falls back!

This is right! Nobody falls back!

Right! Nobody!

Follow me!

Fire!

Take cover!

Russian tanks are coming!

Russians! Let's go!

Keep firing! Keep firing!

My dear wife. Today we had to go in again.

The heart aches but it is a fact that we lost A battle.

None of us want to be captured. We all know what will happen if you do.

I still believe in the final victory. We can hardly wait for the next Battle to avenge our comrades.

Most of them are just animals. I'm not going to write to you about This,

But without a doubt I won't leave Any one of them to step on German soil.

Everything will be okay.

We'll make it,

Back home,

After the final victory.

Of course.

We know that we'll win.

After the invasion of Poland, after France,

Many have died, but you know,

Sometimes the sacrifices are being made To bring glory to our country,

And bring glory to our selves.

I am very proud of the fact that You are here with us. You are a good commander.

The most important thing. It is you.

You need to find the strength Within itself.

I thrust in your leadership.

And I will act on your example.

Thanks, Herkel. everything OK? everything OK! Good night.

My lovely wife! The summer is allmost over. Many times I remember,

Our walk among the flowering trees. I really miss you, My dear.

I can't wait to see you. At the moment I can't imagine.

The enemies grows strounger each day.

It's starting to worry me. That is why I am writing in my diary.

I will not give up, just as I am Getting better.

You really help me at times difficult as these.

I hope you are proud of me, Of what I'm doing.

Men, listen!

Were leaving in 5 minutes. The second company has a new objective,

An old factory five kilometers From here.

Remember! We were chosen for this work!

For the Leibstandarte! For our beloved Reich!

I'll move foreward with one man. You'll follow with the rest of us!

You! With me !

Mg! Mg! In position!

Machine Gun! Machine Gun! Go there!

Meissen! Here!

Steiner, follow me! Yes!

In the right window! In the right window!

Herkel! In the window on the right side!

Grenade! Throw a grenade!

Sniper!

Herkel! Take two men and take care of this crap! Yes sir!

Steiner! Come with me!

Go with Herkel!

Covering Fire!

Move to the front!

Sniper! Move! Move!

Steiner, advance!

Damn communists!

All clear!

Steiner! Come!

Foreward!

Is everything okay? Everything well with you?

Good job!

Meissen, You're up front!

I did not agree with the methods of Steiner, but we were on the same team.

I admire the courage that he showed so Many times.

Many times he offered to be a Volunteer for patrols and assaults.

He's taking no prisoners. His friend Otto was killed with a Bayonet.

Then he was injured. Since then, he spares no single enemy.

None.

I never asked him, but now I know That's the reason.

He is afraid that the enemy reaches to His brother. He doesn't want his brother to fight.

It's is very cold here!

Attention!

Italy is such a beautiful country.

I can't understand why The partizan activity is so high here.

In Cuneo we lost some men. We had to burn the whole village down.

We won't stay here much longer. Soon we'll return to the Ukraine.

To fight for a few meters of land .

Win back what we have lost.

Wait here!

Herkel! Untersturmf�hrer?

Unterscharf�hrer, I'm afraid I have Bad news. The Ivans broke the line of Our defense again.

We have to be prepared for the worst.

The Wehrmacht suffered great losses and We have to cover their withdrawal.

We will form small groups of three Or four men to organize a Defensive line, while the army Withdraws.

Therefore, we continue to retreat?

I'm afraid so.

Come here!

Franz Joachim Scholl.

Heil Hitler!

He arrived today. Take him to your group.

Another boy.

Another soul.

Another infant.

Another corpse.

Another thought.

Another tear.

We moved like pawns on a chess board.

I still want to do everything in the best Possible way, even if I am just A pawn.

Scholl, what's wrong?

I'm going first. A good idea.

Good job.

Scholl, take my place in the rear!

I hate this shit.

Do you think that we have a choice?

We cover the asses of those Losers?

They are probably more important.

Either way, continue to dig. That way you have no reason to talk crap.

Scholl, you have the look of a princess. How did you get in the SS?

I am a volunteer.

I bet you asked your parents for you to Fill out all the documents.

So funny, Steiner!

Any Ivans coming today?

No. Not today.

The majority of the army fights in the north. They will probably come here later.

Let's stop these cursed bolsheviks .

Thanks, Steiner.

Did Scholl kill any one yet?

No, not yet.

Calm. You'll have plenty of time.

That will be hard for him, without doubt.

I hope when you fire wou will hit.

Get lost!

Herkel, I give you a wheek.

Steiner, please, shut up, and Keep working.

We were born and learned.

We have learned, but learned nothing.

We need an example to follow, But I don't want an example here.

The lives of others and all Days are becoming meaningless and Useless.

We are survive.

The sense of duty still lives in our Hearts. We want to live, but we don't know for what.

They are brothers. I see how they live. I want to Continue to live.

Now I'm fighting for them.

Rain, that sucks! That can't be.

Scholl, I never asked, where are you from?

Kremmen. Where is that?

North of Berlin.

I changed for Oranienstein, where I Enrolled to Napoli, at the National Political Academy.

Napoli? Now I understand how you came here.

My parents they dedicated. I was forced.

You have a family?

A wife.

What's her name?

Daisy.

She is waiting for me at home.

A new day.

Steiner, any news? All quiet.

Go to bed. I'll take it from here. Yes, sir.

Wake up!

Steiner, I know you are tired but, Go to Krobel and ask for information.

It's so calm! Yep.

Will the Ivans come? Yep.

They will always come.

I did't come here for conversations.

But this is the way it is.

Don't forget that you are an SS.

You look like a motivated soldier , Show it in action.

Not just words. Think about that.

And? The order is to maintain position.

Even when the other group is under fire.

Yes, Krobel is right. If we leave our position,

We'll get too exposed.

Scholl, is behind the Mg.

You trust him with a gun? Yes.

Steiner, why are you always on my back?

Because you're a fucking rookie.

Silence, comrades. Steiner, calm down.

What was that? One of our mines.

Good. They are coming!

Russians! I shoot first.

Steiner, grenade! Grenade!

keep firing! keep firing!

Reload!

They're falling back!

Take that, pigs!

Cease fire! Cease fire!

An other one to your account.

Steiner! Come on, let's have a look.

Unterscharf�hrer! Here's an injured!

Get up!

What do we do now?

The orders are clear, No prisoners.

Sch�ll found him, it's him who Will kill him.

It may be easier,

When you have the authority to Order someone something.

Even if it's not worth doing it.

Come on Sch�ll! Show us you're a man!

Shoot him!

Do it! Shoot!

Are you now satisfied?

Steiner, inform the Krobel on the fight,

On the attackers, and the dead And we that we have no casualties. Go!

By the way, don't mention Sch�ll. This was very hard for him!

Sch�ll.

You're writing?

In fact, to my mother.

But I...

I don't know what to write.

You write to your parents?

No. It's been months.

Here.

Write them something! No!

Do it! Write!

I'm sorry, but I can't write.

What is the name of your mother?

Margot.

Are you okay? Yes, I am alive.

Are you are treated well? Yes all the time.

Is it warm? Very hot.

I got sun burned.

I am proud because I got the chance,

Being with brothers.

With love, Steiner.

The next day, we abandoned our positions and Rejoined the company.

In NaPolA, we were taught to obey.

Which NaPolA?

Hessen, Nassau, they taught us well.

Many of us continued school And I went as a volunteer for the SS.

If they really wanted to serve, They should've volunteered.

I think the same thing, Scholl.

And you Unterscharf�hrer? Why are you in the SS?

When I was little, my father was At the front,

Despite the fact that it is very outdated,

My mother was very proud of him.

I think the same!

My wife feels the same.

He didn't come back, and we had to Leave your home.

We could not live with our Money, due to a major crisis.

Therefore!

In addition, the place where we lived, Was no longer was the old Germany.

It was hard to accept.

My mother had to work all Day to buy a handful of flour To make bread.

We always ate bread.

This year for my birthday, I bought a small tin of tuna.

This was the first time for some Months, when I ate something else.

Damnit.

Nobody told me what happened to my father.

I'm sorry.

When he moved, my mother Couldn't find another job.

This is because a large part of the Economy was in the hands of the Jews.

Of course, they prefer to help Other Jews, not us.

Many times we had to Hide and sleep in a haystack.

However, National Socialism Gave her a job.

You became a volunteer to Thank the Fuhrer?

One day my mother received a letter from The gauleiter,

It said what my father did for our country They were proud of what he did.

Before, no one cared about us. That's why I'm fighting.

Kocherova 1943.

The winter is coming. We were transferred West of Ukraine.

We are often called upon to help Other divisions as reinforcements.

The landscape is so spectacular.

It's strange, to associate death with a Place so beautiful.

My Dear Daisy! The snow is covering evrything.

I still maintain position for the moment. I feel good with my friends.

Despite we're dying on the same ground.

It's very cold.

I don't even know what day it is.

I hope you think of me.

Friends.

Happy Christmas! Is it Christmas today?

Merry Christmas, Steiner! Merry Christmas, Scholl!

Merry Christmas, comrades! Merry Christmas, Herkel!

Merry Christmas, Margaret!

I'm tired of it.

We are always in the shit. We do everything,

What others won't.

Steiner!

If they need our help, we'll help, Because tomorrow, we need them.

Therefore, the more, it is our duty.

If necessary, we will. Stop your complaints.

Have a look around you? What do you see?

Just snow, to cover our comrades The fall!

We return to stay behind and keep The line. Hoping to kill them all?

You only want that? Every day that passes, we retreat meter by meter.

Every day we are getting closer To our homes. We have to fight only for us, if We continue with the same spirit.

If you go back a meter today, let us not Restart it tomorrow. Do you understand?

You want your brother to fight? You know what they will do with our families?

With our women?

They destroy everything! They are also fighting for their Home land!

While I breathe, I'll do Everything possible not to let these bastards Come into my country. Do you understand?

Just think about your work. You'll fight like a soldier, just like me.

And remember, these thoughts are undermining the morale.

You are an SS, remember! You know that you can be shot for this!

Do you want me to report this?

I'm sorry my friend, but it's all Ways painful.

This shit is monstrous, but nothing helps.

Who are we? Nothing.

And what are we waiting for?

Who we are in this world?

What can we do?

We can choose something better, If the life what we were promised by Our leaders?

Everything I do is dig,

Dig and dig again.

I made an oath. I believed them.

At the end of March, I went to the Netherlands. Certainly there was only one purpose.

We won't be victorious over Russia.

We are here to defend the Borders of our country.

Sch�ll, a little higher.

Good. On Target!

I really miss my wife, But I'm ashamed to return to her.

None of us are going home.

They are so concerned with the war.

They don't want to spend a single day.

The situation is getting worse all the time.

The Americans landed in Normandy.

I now I'm seriously beginning to fear A complete collapse.

France differs a lot from the east.

Even in ruins, it seems much more A lot of fun.

I get reinforcements.

Most of them are still children.

It was strange to command the 1st SS division, With these recruits. Very strange.

Nobody contradicted the Furher.

Kr�bel refused a transfer. He didn't want to leave.

Again they requested him to be at Hitler's HQ, But he refused the transfer.

I admire this man more than anyone.

He likes the life at the front.

If we had won over the allies, That's would've been Good propaganda.

It would've been bad for Russia.

It was not the case.

The Americans broke through our lines.

We need to counter-attack immediately To stop them.

Sturmscharf�hrer Prunnela is here to support the second company from today on.

I want you to fight with all our strength. Like Lions!

It is time to take them back!

Lions!

All people are equal.

The same result.

Are you nervous? Or just a little?

Don't worry. Everything will be okay.

Prepare yourself! 5 minutes.

We go together. You, you and you. Come with me.

Spread the word. Understood?

Again. Another battle.

Another important battle.

Will be alive in an hour?

Sad.

Inconsolable.

I'm tired. My hands are heavy.

I'm sick.

Unmotivated to the soul. Death.

Is this the moment of my death?

I need to see again.

Sturmscharf�hrer! Sturmscharf�hrer! I'm going ahead!

I'm alone!

Look over me.

I do not see soldiers. I do not see explosions.

Take care of me!

Don't leave me!

I do not see it's brightness.

I love you.

Are you alone?

What's your name?

You got lost.

I think so.

The Americans beat us, but I think They have gone in the wrong direction.

I can't think of anything else. Do you have water?

I lost my canteen.

Thank you.

To what company do you belong?

1st SS division.

Leibstandarte. Ah, the first.

My name is Herkel, Unterscharf�hrer. Unterscharf�hrer?

And you? Gefreiter.

What division?

21St.

I don't know exactly where they are.

Why are you alone?

Where are you from?

A small town in West Germany.

Braunschweig?

Yes! Me too, but I've never seen you before.

Neither have I. What's your name?

Hermann Diet Wolff.

You don't look German. You are German?

No, no!

My mother is Spanish.

You know the jews work for us?

Of course.

And we the hate them.

They are the downfall of our generation.

Yes, sure.

And you know who kills them all?

What?

Send them to the Camps, So they can work for us.

Well. This is a conversation.

I don't know. I never worked in a camp.

I did't believe, until i saw it with My own eyes.

Where?

In Poland.

I've guarded the station. Every day there was a train filled With Jews.

They were then distributed to various Work camps.

Once, they took the women apart, When they disembarked from the train.

They looked for a jew who was hiding in City.

They aligned the women in front of The station.

The SS said they were being punished.

You know what? No.

Since then, I was afraid to see My wife,

I saw these women.

Your father is Jewish.

His name is Eleanor.

We loved each other and she moved away from home.

Fled to Braunschweig.

Since I was called up, I'm dying Out of fear that they might find out.

That is why I am going to desert.

I'm tormented by guilt for a long time now.

But I can't go on nomore.

It it bad? Is it wrong?

She gave me this before I left.

I will not let them take it.

And what will you do?

I don't know, surrender myself to the Americans.

Surrender?

They are going to help me.

The war is going to end soon.

Maybe not.

Good luck, Unterscharf�hrer. Good luck, Diet Wolff.

You've been lucky.

Here you are, Herkel.

I saw your report.

Listen, you've never been on vacation.

Next week we have plane going to Germany. You will be on it, ok?

Herkel! You are alive!

Going home on the orders of Kr�bel, Is another matter.

I don't feel like a coward.

My dear wife, I am Coming back.

Braunschweig 1944.

It is so weird being at home after All of this time.

As we spoke, here the death, are the boredom Without you.

What are we going to eat? I booked two seats in the restaurant.

We'll be at Haussmann. It seems good to me as well.

You are very beautiful.

Let's.

What is it? You are so beautiful.

Thank you.

And there on the front?

Russia was catastrophic.

Many cities were bombed. And we were lucky here.

It is a small city. This does not interest them.

I'm tired of this situation.

If the Fuhrer could. Don't say that, please.

You're right. The situation is not good, but I love you A lot, and Germany too.

Don't give up, we'll do everything Within our reach.

I try to hide it. But it is not easy.

For a man who has to fight?

What does it means to love?

Love. Isn't it beautiful? It comes.

It's time for love. Time to be brave.

Debt! This is what cannot be forgotten.

But love is something which,a person Can't live without.

I want to be with you today.

Constant doubts boils within me.

I need answers.

Eleanor?

Eleanor?

I met your husband in Normandy.

Are you at home?

Hello my name is Ludwig Herkel.

What do you want? I met your husband in front.

I thought, as I live nearby I Could come and meet you. He spoke of you.

Have no fear, I won't do anything Bad to you. He is alive?

Yes.

How is he? He was injured? Can you tell me?

He is well. He was not hurt last time I met him.

If you see him again, Tell him hello.

Spend as well. I have to go. I was happy in Know it, Ms. Diet Wolff.

Unterscharf�hrer! Comrade! What is happening here?

There's two officers of the Gestapo.

The Gestapo? Yes!

Heil Hitler! Heil Hitler!

What is happening here?

Let me go, please! Don't!

What are you doing?

You know that girl? Not.

Her husband. Is a deserter, and after checking her Documents, we realized,

They are false, it's Polish.

Unterscharf�hrer. Are you sure you know this girl?

No ! But what did she do?

I am Eleanor! I am Eleanor! I'm not Polish!

Sure, she was Jewish.

Are you crazy? Why was it necessary to shoot her?

Unterscharf�hrer.

Your papers, please. Of course.

Unterscharf�hrer. You didn't know that girl, right? No! I already told you.

Heil Hitler! Heil Hitler!

You can't catch me, You can't catch me! O, a Soldier!

Come here, children. It's time to go home.

It is difficult to hide what you feel.

My soldiers are waiting for My example.

On my return, I was promoted. It annoys me how things are.

What will happen with to the Third Reich, for I Find a new motivation?

Or else I will die soon.

Scharf�hrer Herkel, I want to introduce you STURMBANNF�HRER PRUNELLA.

You can talk later for introductions. But now we speak.

Well! What do you write?

Nothing special. Very good.

I heard a rumour about Detrimental talk for the morale of the troops.

And they come to you.

Over!

You're the commander of your men, right?

You realize that we are finished products? Do you understand?

Yes, I know. Must we all die like dogs? Is that it?

It is our job. This is what we do. We strive for the Final victory.

Until final victory. I do not want to claim him, Herkel.

We Strive for nothing, Krobel!

You need to calm down.

Why do I always have to follow their Bright Ideas, Scholl?

There is nothing!

I'm even more stupid than you. There is nothing here.

Wait! I bet you will find sweets?

See! Binoculars.

Come on, lets go!

Steiner, you know, this nasty climate Reminds me of your region.

Why always talk nonsence?

Where you live, it's even worse. No, you're wrong.

Shut the fuck up. Let's go! We need to return. You're just jealous.

Let's go!

What you are saying? You know that I'm kidding.

Steiner! In full!

Class!

That stinks?

Yes, Scholl. I just do it, only when you are Close by. We stir it up!

Come on, let's. I'm going to. You stink like shit. And I will.

You called me, Herr Oberst?

Scharf�hrer.

No matter what you did.

You should stop immediately.

Or I will send you to court martial.

This won't happen again!

I'll leave within an hour. Return to your men.

Going away, Herr Oberst?

You make me sick

This is no longer a game!

I gave you an order!

Return to the men, do your work And I'll do mine.

You can go scharf�hrer.

This is what we do?

We are fighting. It's true.

I'm sorry for today, I've been rude.

I always give my best, Especially in front of others.

But I understand how you feel.

When you weren't here, I followed The standartenfuhrer returning after A search.

Sometimes it is difficult to determine what Is good, or what is wrong.

But you must do it. Of course you must.

Where are the weapons? Where are they?

Speak!

That was probably the wrong family.

He said that I would do the execution.

I was ordered.

She, her name was Eleanor. This girl, who lived near me.

She was killed because she was Jewish.

I, I just wonder about,

What will the world think When all of this is over.

If we loose this war,

We will be cursed forever.

I didn't kill so many Jews.

Herkel, are we are moving? Yes. Tomorrow morning.

Is it changed? No.

We'll stay with Kr�bel.

Herkel, listen.

What is wrong?

I don't know.

I'm tired.

The radio said that the Americans Executed 13 German prisoners.

Don't believe everything you hear.

I don't believe it. Well, my friend.

I'm with you tomorrow.

And if Diet Wolff was saved?

Herkel. An American soldier. The Sole Survivor from Last patrol. Search him.

Look, taggs.

Untersturmf�hrer!

They can kill as much as they want, But they will not win this war.

What?

Where did you get this? Look at me! Where did you get this?

Answer me, you bastard! Bastard!

Answer!

Bastard! Bastard! Herkel, enough!

There's not much to look at.

No strength to hold.

It makes no sense, there is no reason.

Where can I find the untersturmf�hrer Kr�bel?

Thank you.

Obersch�tze Hans von Grebel.

Do you have your military ID?

New soldiers keep coming in.

Fresh meat for slaughter.

It's time to go. Without any strength.

I'm going to kill all those bastards.

Grobel, grab your things. And come with us.

Eleanor Diet Wolff.

He was killed by them.

She died by ours.

One what side do I fight?

Herkel! Take three men and go to the other side.

Damn it! Shoot, Herkel, Shoot!

Shoot, Herkel, Shoot! Do it!

Are you an idiot? Why didn't you fire?

Retreat!

Steiner! Steiner!

Run!

It only took a few seconds.

No one wants to die.

For some time I felt senseless.

But you still have to fight.

Of course, you still have to fight.

I must!

Steiner.

I don't believe it.

He died in my arms.

The only thing left for us Is to honor him.

Nothing more.

Well, what happened to your lousy lifes?

Steiner!

Hello, comrades.

How are you?

Okay?

Well, it's time for bed. Good night.

On you, Steiner.

We lost a lot of men. The war could not last much longer.

The more days passing, the more I fight for my wife.

Or for my beloved Germany.

We were destroyed, And we stood up again

And again we are being destroyed.

First and second platoon! Here!

The second platoon will go in the first place. The first platoon follows him.

Understood? Did you understand everything?

Fire!

You see the shooter? I did't.

Cease fire! Cease fire!

Krobel? Where is Krobel?

I'm sorry to leave you here, brother.

Scharf�hrer. Move immediately!

First and second platoon! Move! Fast! Fast

I regret the loss of Krobel, Herkel.

Is there anything I can do to help?

You can bring him back?

I understand.

For what,

Are we fighting?

You know, I love my country.

I don't care anymore about politics.

I fight for what I love.

My Dear Daisy.

Now, I don't understand what my duty is.

I can say with certainty that I have Done everything within my power.

I tried to be a good example, a good Soldier.

I didn't give up, even when i felt Exhausted.

I hope that soon you will see me again And be able to embrace me.

I tell you that I did everything I could.

I really struggled for you, for Our homes, for our land.

I love you so much.

Unterscharf�hrer.

I gave everything I had.

I can't go on any longer.
