Hands up!

Drop the gun !

l'l l read you now what you
have said.

''Stanislaw Kolicki, born 1 7th
December, 1 920 in Koscierzyna.

Nationality - Polish. Recently
a student at Gdansk Polytechnics.

Recently a prisoner
of Krolewiec camp.

Yes.

Caught attempting to cross
the Russian-German border.

Questioned by the border
guards he admitted.. .

he'd escaped from the camp
planning to cross the USSR border. ..

and inform the Russians about the
concentration of the German army,

and about the planned German
invasion against the USSR.

That's all . Sign it.

l also said that if a war
broke out.. .

.. .l wanted to fight against
Russia and Poland's enemy.

All right. Say all this again
at the place you're going to.

Where am l going?

You'll be told that in due time.

Last time you said, Kloss...

that you went on holiday to your
friend's cousins' estate.

What's the friend's name?

Gustav Erling. l've told you
that.

Yes, you have.

Erling is German too, isn't he?

Yes. His parents had settled in
Lithuania earlier than we did.

And when my father was building
a sugar factory...

the Erlings helped him by loaning
him a big sum of money.

Tell me about the holidays now.

l arrived at the station late
at night.

lt was ten or eleven o'clock.

The palace cart was waiting
for me there.

- A two-horse one?
- l don't remember.

Try to recal l it. lt's very
important.

A one-horse cart.

What about a carter?

There was none. Gustav came
to meet me.

What was the station like?

lt was small .

There were high poplars growing
in front of it.

On the left there was a village,
on the right - a forest.

The way through the forest was
shorter.. .

but Gustav wanted to show me
the lake.

Later on l often used to go
there with Edith.

Watch his movements and
face expressions.

Your physical likeness isn't
enough.

.. .her mother's brother had
a farm near my friend's.

We met very often.

We'll talk about it later.
Let's come back to yourjourney.

So you went through the forest.. .

- What did they want?
- Always the same.

They were questioning me about
the holidays l had 5 years ago.

l'l l go off my head! What do
they need all this for?

We have to attack near the
village of Kamieniuszka.

This is where we'll group
all our forces.

We have to break the Bolshevik
fortification.

The advanced armoured unit has
to force its way ...

into the enemy's line of defence
near Shepielnikovo.

Taking them by surprise we'll
be able to bring up our munitions.

We'll succeed on condition that
our attack is totally unexpected.

- ls everything clear?
- Has the date of attack been set yet?

Yes. lt's 4.30, July 7th.

Naturally, the squad officers
will receive sealed envelopes.. .

which they'll open after
getting the orders.

Our Secret Service says the
Bolsheviks have already ral lied,

and are trying to form the line
of defence near the river.

Thus only an attack with the use
of al l our forces...

wil l let us pertorm the task
we've been set by our commanders.

That's al l as far as the
operation plans are concerned.

Now Sturmfurer Stedtke wil l
inform you. ..

on the steps taken to ensure
security to the rear.

This morning l ordered...

that all the young people should
be deported to the Reich for labour.

Couldn't you put it off
a little?

Their radiolocating cars are
nosing about day and night.

l'm taking the radio station
to Jack's.

l'll come tonight.

Hans!

Good morning, darling.

- Who was that?
- Who?

- That girl.
- That girl? l don't know.

She was carrying a suitcase
so l helped her.

- A Pole?
- A Pole or a Russian.. .

- Pretty?
- Come on, Martha!

There's a call for you.

- Shall we meet tonight?
- Of course.

OK, we can start.

Write:

From J 23.

The Germans are planning an attack
on 7th July, at 4.30 against B3.

They hope to take us by surprise.

lt's necessary to forestal l them. ..

by attacking them with artillery.

Code and tramsmit it.

The radiolocating cars started
nosing about today. Be cautious!

You too.

- You scared me today, lrena.
- Me? Ah, yes, l know.

No, you don't. l don't mean
the round-up.

My girl-friend saw me when
l was talking to you.

- Your girl-friend?
- Are you surprised l have one?

A few officers envy me
Martha Becher.

She's a nice girl, but she's
very jealous.

Couldn't we do away with those
radiolocating cars somehow?

l''l think of it, but it'd be
damn risky.

A big action is out of the question.
SS task force is stationed here.

What about setting fire
to the garage?

Do you know how it'd end?
With a massacre of innocent people.

Stedtke can't wait to have
such a pretext.

Yes?

Yes, sir!

The concentration is over.

There's been no move on the
enemy's side.

Are they insane? The attack
was to start at 4.30.

What?!

The Bolsheviks? Half an hour
before our attack?

The Russians forestalled our
attack. ..

and regained a few kilometres
of the territory.

Our commander won't praise us
for that.

He won't be praised either.

Gentlemen...

Gentlemen...

lt's not a coincidence that
you're both here.

Today's events.. .

have brought shame on our
division.

We have to efface this blot.

But before we do, we have
to find the guilty ones.

My task force is at your
disposal, General.

l'm not interested in task
force actions.

lt's not my business.
You have to do yourjob.

What l'm interested in is
the leak of information.

lt's obvious that the Bolsheviks'
attack in that very place...

and half an hour before the attack
of our tanks wasn't a coincidence.

What do you think, Kloss?

- l agree with you, General.
- That's not enough!

You and Sturmfurer Stedtke
have to tell me.. .

how the information known to
only 7 of my officers. ..

found its way to the Bolsheviks.

Of course, l don't suspect
any of you.

But the enemy is alert.
Their agents are nearby.

- General, may l ...?
- Go on.

The plan of the attack was also
known to the Corps Headquarters.

l don't mean l suspect them,
but.. .

l've taken this into
consideration too.

But we have to check
our people first.

Yes, sir!

You're a young officer, Kloss.

You graduated from Abwehra
School not long ago.

l think that you should be
subordinated to Sturmfurer Stedtke,

as he's more experienced.

Wel l?

Nothing. They're not transmitting
anything.

What about the code?

The Corps Headquarters people
said they failed to break it.

We didn't have enough data.

- lf we had heard the whole report. ..
- l see.

Has lieutenant Kloss been here?

You're leaving?

Yes, l must go.

Are you on duty today?
Stedtke didn't tell me about it.

He cal led me today and organized
a kind of hearing.

He asked me if l hadn't noticed
anything peculiar in.. .

My behaviour?

No. He asked me about everyone.

And besides, l guess he has
reason for asking about you.

He knows that we love each other,
doesn't he?

Strange!

He didn't mention to me that
he was going to question you.

That's what his job is.
lt was a mere formality.

Of course.

lf there's something who
doesn't trust you...

l hope it's not you, Martha?

l wouldn't like to lose you.

There are so many beautiful
women.. .

What's the news, Sturmfurer
Stedtke?

Sturmbanfurer Mul ler from the
Corps Headquarters says.. .

that there couldn't be any
leak on their side.

What a shame!

lt'd make our task easier.

lt's very important for me,
Sturmfurer Stedtke.. .

that you manage to catch
that talkative guy.

Do you think it's just
a matter of indiscretion?

What else could it be?

After all , l can't suspect seven
officers of my attendants, can l?

You're very lucky then, General.

l have to suspect all of them.

Do you mean eight men,
including me?

Sturmbanfurer Muller has
excluded you.

Did you dare to ask his
opinion?

You have forgotten yourself!
How dare you?!

l'm sorry, General , but it was
you who mentioned yourself.

Stop it! l want facts!

l suggest that we organize
a briefing, maybe even today.

The same make-up as previously.

lt seems that you really
suspect...

. ..my attendants.

l simply don't believe
miracles.

lf that chatterbox is not
one of them ...

You wanted to say ''one of us''.
You were at the briefing too.

l exclude myself.

lf he's one of them,.. .

that radio station which
has been dead for 3 days.. .

will transmit a short report
soon after the briefing.

So, gentlemen.. .

the attack will start at 7.30
tomorrow.

This time we'll have to take
the Bolsheviks by surprise.

The officers will open the
sealed envelopes at 5 a.m.

Will there be enough time for
the concentration, sir?

The Headquarters chief
guarantees this.

Yes, sir!

Al l right. You can go now.

So you think that this briefing
was a provocation?

l'm sure of it.

They want to check if the
information was passed on. ..

by one of the officers present
at the previous briefing.

Transmit what l've told you about the
real arrangement of the forces
tomorrow.

Any time you like, provided
it's no sooner than 7 a.m.

But today don't say a word
to anyone.

What have you got?

We found nothing in the five
houses we searched. ..

but this is what we found here.
That's why l sent for you.

Do you know what it is?

No.

Maybe you know something about it?

l think my son used to make
such things.. .

- Where is he now?
- l don't know.

He went away when the war
broke out.

We haven't heard from him yet.

- Where did you find it?
- ln the kitchen. ln the dustbin.

You haven't cleaned the kitchen
since the war broke out?

The thing is a radio station.
You have given shelter to spies.

We haven't!

Stop playing an idiot!

They've been keeping the radio
station here. Where are they now?

- There's been nobody here.
- Listen, bud! You know very wel l.. .

that if we take you with us now,
there'l l be little left of you.

We haven't done anything wrong!

Jesus Christ! Save us, God!

That was just a foretaste.
Make him speak!

We're just poor people, sir. ..

Where are they?!

We won't say anything.

You won't say anything. So you have
something to say after all !

OK.

We won't do you any harm.

But we'll find this out for sure.
Let's go!

Are you al l right?

l don't understand. That was
the only trace, wasn't it?

Fool ! l know what they're like.
They wouldn't have said a word!

- l'd have squeezed them out.
- Or rather kil led them.

lf they know where the radio station
is, one of them will try to warn them.

Stay here, Helmut!
Keep an eye on them !

Yes, sir!

Be discreet!

They're gone.

Where are you going?
l'll go.

No, you won't. lt's easier for
a woman to avoid being noticed.

We have to warn them.

- Put me through to the general.
- He's very busy.

He told me to report things
regardless of the time.

- Have you found a radio station?
- Yes.

Quite by chance.

Schultz!

- What's going on here?
- We're setting out for an action.

- For an action?
- We've found that radio station.

- Haven't you heard about that?
- l have, but you talk too much.

But l didn't say it to a stranger!

Stop here, please.

And don't wait for me.

Get out of here! They're coming!

- Let's pack up!
- Don't! Take this and go downstairs!

Double-quick!

The codes!

What are you doing, Sturmfurer
Stedtke? Hans is there!

- Hans who?
- Hans Kloss. He came to see a girl.

Stop the fire!

Kloss!

You're surrounded! You don't
have the ghost of a chance!

l'm giving you 3 minutes
to get out.

Stop! l want to have him
alive.

We're waiting now for 3 minutes.
Get the smoke candles ready!

l'l l smoke him out like a rat.

''You've won, Stedtke. l'm glad
that l managed to.. .

Hans Kloss''.

He killed himself with a hand-
grenade.

Ad acta.

We can't be proud of the fact.. .

that the Bolshevik spy settled
himself in our division.

lt's regrettable, sir, that
he settled himself in Abwehra.

We caught him thanks to the
Secret Agents' alertness.

Obergruppenfurer Heidlich
demanded a special report on this.

Yes. .. l think l can already
congratulate you on the promotion.

You suspected him, didn't you?

He was controlled in the
Abwehra School ,

but l was taught that you
mustn't trust anyone.

Very good officers in particular.

You're exaggerating.

This principle has proved
to be right.

The spurious Hans Kloss was
a Pole, a Soviet agent.

He left a farewel l letter for us.

Ad acta.

l want no more to deal with
the case of a man...

who led us by the nose
for so many months.

SD can't be led by the nose
too long.

Who would have thought it?

He was so nice.

The Nordic type. No doubt, some
German blood ran in his veins too.

You must admit, General, it was
a well-planned and well-done job.

The Slavs aren't capable
of doing things like that.

Yes, Colonel.
He's here, with me.

lf you want to back out,
this is the right moment.

No. lt's a chance for me.

Now it should be easier.

They've already kil led one
false Kloss, so they're satisfied.

Now they'll see the other one.
They should believe me.

And besides, l've learnt a lot
recently so l'll be more alert.

lf you insist...
You can always count on us.

Have you made up your mind yet?

OK. Here are his clothes.
You can change now.

His fellow-prisoners have spent
a few months with him in the cell .

They'l l be your alibi. But take
care not to make any wrong move.

- What about him?
- Don't worry. He's been given.. .

warmer clothes. The place
he's been moved to is very cold. ..

Now you'l l have to go to the
cell ...

and complain about the hearing
which seemed strange to you.

- He used to complain about it.
- What about you?

Wel l. .. The front is only
27 km away from here.

ln a few days we'l l probably
have to give up this town. ..

as wel l as many others.

But later on we'l l come back...

and we'l l move westwards fast
until we get to Berlin.

We'll be passing through
Poland.

Poland.. . your home-country.

Do you hear this?

They're escaping.

l'm sure our army will march
in here in a day or two.

l'm afraid we won't be given
the chance to see that.

- They'l l move us farther eastwards.
- ln such a mess?

- Do you think we can make it?
- lt's our only chance.

But why are they still keeping us
here? Maybe they're planning to kill
us?

Maybe. That's why
we have to take this risk.

What happened with the ones who
were in this cell before us?

They were taken away last week.
Our army must be quite near.

l haven't had any hearing
for a week.

lf there's just one man...

Get out!

Leave it!
We mustn't make a noise.

Certainly, sir.

l'l l question them in a while.

So you say you got away from
a Soviet prison.. .

and you spent 4 days in a cellar.

Yes, sir!

- You're answering me like a soldier.
- l am a soldier.

- A soldier?
- Yes.

And they sent you to prison,
not to a PO W camp?

That's a long story. l graduated from
a secret military college in Lithuania.

When the Bilsheviks marched in,
al l my family was moved eastwards.

l managed to escape. But l got
caught while l was crossing the
border.

l was wearing civilian clothes so
they questioned me scrupulously.

We'l l talk about it later on.

- What's your name?
- Hans Kloss.

- Hans Kloss?
- That's right.

l've already heard this name.

Maybe you know someone from my
family? My father owned an estate in
Lithuania.

- No.
- Maybe my uncle Helmut?

- He was ajudge .
- No. But l'l l try to recall it.

What are your names?

l can't set you free before
l make sure who you are.

When did you meet Kloss for
the first time?

ln March or April, l don't
remember exactly.

- Did you see him every day?
- Yes, during the walks.. .

and sometimes in the baths. l also
saw
him several times serving the food.

l see...

- Go on, please.
- The Russians...

suspected me of co-operating with
the Secret Service but they had too.. .

little evidence. They probably didn't
manage to catch Hubert, because
they.. .

- didn't confront me with him.
- l see. ..

Let's talk about Kloss.

Are you sure that Kloss didn't
leave the prison...

from March or April to December,
when our army marched in?

l can swear he didn't.

So it started with the joke you
told at the restaurant, didn't it?

lt wasn't ajoke. l just said
that our army would reach Moscow.. .

in 3 months
and 2 hours later l was arrested.

The Russians arrested many
Germans with the outbreak of the war.

Just in case. ..

Your family is coming from the
Reich today.

lf the confrontation comes
off well ...

l'm sure it wil l.

l have one more question to you.

But think twice before you
answer it. lt's very important.

So you were arrested in July,
weren't you?

Yes, l was.

Did you meet Kloss then?

Yes, of course. l even shared
the cell with him for a few days.

We all felt sorry for him because
he had long hearings every day.

Once he told me he had to talk
about his aunt's rheumatism for hours.

Didn't you have the impression
that he'd changed after that?

Do you mean that he might have
broken down during the hearing?

Maybe.. .

No, it's out of the question.
Kloss was always so tough.. .

His nationalistic and socialistic
ideas helped us to live on.

He believed strongly in our
Fuhrer and victory.

And besides, it was him who
attacked the guard.

You'l l be as well-shaven
as a groom.

Kloss! Follow me upstairs!

We had to bring this folder
from the Berlin archives.

l didn't think we'd ever need it
again...

and that l'd meet again the man
whom that Pole pretended to be.

Unbelievable!
This is unbelievable!

l wonder what his reaction wil l
be when he sees me.

Come in!

Kloss!

Yes?

Show me your profile!

Excuse me, Obersturmfuhrer.
l'm a German officer.. .

and l don't remember meeting
this gentleman before.

l'm sorry.

l think we can show Mr Kloss the
folder of that Bolshevik agent,

whom we caught 5 months ago.

Do you know what that agent's
name was?

How should l know that?

Do you have a twin-brother?

Maybe you know someone very
much like yourself?

l think l understand now.

Someone used my surname
and tarnished it.

Now l understand why they often
questioned me for hours. ..

asking me about all the
details from my life.

This is horrible!

Don't get excited! We've known the
Bolsheviks' pertidy for a long time.

But you believe me, gentlemen,
don't you?

We do.
We can't be cheated.

We have an excellent device
for detecting lies.

- lt's called SD.
- lt's my only hope.

As soon as this is cleared up,
l'd like to be sent to the front.

- The Bolsheviks have to pay me.
- Alright, Kloss. You can leave now.

But before that,
sit down here for a while.

Please, write:

''You've won, Stedtke''.

l'm glad l was able to disturb
you a little.

l did it for my home country.

- l'm a Pole. Hans Kloss''.
- l won't sign it!

Don't get excited, Kloss!
lt's a mere formality.

Your double left us this card.

Don't worry. We have excellent
graphologists.

You may go now.

ln my opinion they're different.

Quite different.

Excuse me, Sturbanfuhrer. ..

but we're not authorities
in graphology.

Let our specialists decide...

whether they were written
by the same man.

One moment, please.

l'm coming.

Doctor Helmut Kloss?

- Yes. Why?
- Get ready.

You're going to Russia.

This must be some
misunderstanding.
l'm ajudge and a party member.

lt's an order.

Things are going wrong. They've
taken a sample of my handwriting.

lf the Abwehra graphologist
finds out that.. .

Don't worry.
l'll inform Aunt Susan about it.

This is pure fol ly!

Their graphologists are sure
to prove his identity.

lt was him who wanted to make one
more attempt. The Germans are
convinced. ..

that our agent is dead and that
this one must be the real Hans Kloss.

What do you suggest?

Getting in touch with Berlin
and using our people there.

The graphologist's report has to
confirm that the notes weren't. ..

- written by the same man.
- Don't waste time!

l'm sorry, Kloss. We have
to do this.

l hope it's going to be
the last test.

l trust you. We al l do.

Have a cigarette.

Come in!

Uncle Helmut!

Hans!

Uncle Helmut!

lt's ages since we met last.

Your documents!

Doctor Walter Wirth, living
at 1 1 , Kinkstrasse, 2nd floor.

There's nobody there from
eleven to one p.m.

Alright. Thank you.

For me everything is clear now.

Helmut Kloss's statement was
the last link of the chain.

They haven't seen each other
for 6 years.

l appreciate your being so
cautious, Obersturmfuhrer. ..

but aren't you exaggerating
this time?

What counts is not that Helmut
Kloss recognized his nephew.. .

but that Hans recognized his
uncle.

But the Soviet Secret Service
might have had.. .

the photographs of Hans Kloss's
family.

Sure, but l don't think that
Bolsheviks are so stupid. ..

as to send us the agent who has
already proved to be a failure.

Anyway, the body was identified.

Come in!

l told you l was busy, Fritz.

Doctor Wirth's report has
just been delivered.

Bring in Kloss!

Wel l, Kloss.. .

you can't change your handwriting.

lt'll always give away your
identity.

Congratulations, Kloss!

Doctor Wirth has finished
the examination.

l never had the slightest doubt.

My congratulations!

We'l l apply for restoring you
your rank.. .

and you'll be able to go
to the East front.

l'll do anything to efface
that disgrace.

Actually, the fact that you can
speak our enemy's language...

and you know the situation in
Russia.. .

can be very helpful to us.

You can serve your homeland
wherever you are.

Colonel !

What is it?

J 23 has started transmitting
again !
