you get it out of gear i tried captain

and they won't let go what do you mean

the hands what do you mean the hands the

driver's hands

the driver's hands

i think he's alive petya right sir

he's alive

what do you have there you need to take

a dead man he's alive whether he's dead

or alive we need to bring him to the

hospital

there let's go

where should we bring him

the forest you didn't even take a look

at him

he's still alive

go ahead take him to the tenth

you need to calm down

i've never seen anything like this he's

covered in birds but still alive

i'm sure he'll be dead in two hours

oh no just give me the oil

ah

good evening

where's the tank crew member he's over

there i'm still bleeding

how long has he been here his body is 90

covered in burns he's got sepsis but

he's still alive

let's go ahead and change his dressings

where are his burns it's some kind of

because three days ago he wasn't showing

can you tell me your name soldier

your first and last name

what about your serial number

i don't know

may i come in yes come in

of ivan ivanovic you're of birth 1914

non-party tank crew member that's it

wait hold on you said he didn't have any

can't remember anything well based on

the documents we received from the field

unknown tank crewman all right and how

are you able to find out his full name

everyone in this hospital calls him ivan

and we decided to give him the last name

naidu enough since it said on the form

that he was found almost dead inside a

tank so we just named him after it

kind of all right but what about his

date of birth well generally speaking

his teeth are like that of a 30 year

old's that's how we tried to determine

it

i think you guys are making a mistake

here are these really his documents

they are well it says here that 90 of

well yes 90 of his body was covered in

burns and he was almost dead when he was

sent to us are you kidding me or what

i'm not seeing anything on him you see

we can't fully explain everything that

but the patient he was able to fully

apparently this is some kind of uh

miracle after what happened to him

and without a doubt it's really

hmm then what should we do with this

phenomenon

he has a rare case of retrograde amnesia

he didn't forget any of his skills at

all

he knows the alphabet and he can write a

but he just can't remember who he is

where his family is i think it would be

a lot better to train him for non-combat

attend crewman don't you know the chain

i know all ten crewmen released from a

hospital need to be immediately sent

i understand however this is a very

the soldier has no memory you don't need

your memory to load up a cannon in a

tank

so

so

so

okay release the engine gag

here we go

hey soldier come here

who are you sergeant nijonov

mechanic driver second company

and what are you doing here

the tank right here the panther needs to

they got wrecked in an ambush

and what made you think that the panther

what do you mean the tank

this tank

that tank so that tank told you

something

it got hit by tiger

the one that set me on fire the white

tiger

so that's what happened double time the

transport

yes sir

do you know him i do

he's a very good mechanic until he got

darn if they won't send someone to the

front he shouldn't be here and now he's

give me a light listen nikolai

this white tiger i've also heard about

they say it's some sort of ghost that's

nonsense

you don't need to listen to things like

that

i can't really explain and figure out

what i saw when we were out there

then we came to the point where stop

there are legends about that tank in our

go on in the battle near

bobrisk there were more or less 20

russian tanks that attacked us

so in the battle near bobrowisk russian

tanks suddenly appear and then attacked

right it seemed like they wanted to get

and um and then they started firing at

you as if you started then on their

flank a tv i tank suddenly appeared

painted completely white so on their

a tank dvi painted completely white and

right then it started firing at the

russian tanks ah so the tiger destroyed

yes in 10 minutes the tiger destroyed

all of the tanks and then it disappeared

it's as if it vanished into into into

it was fast so in 10 minutes everything

that surrounds the tank suddenly got

10 minutes and did you

did you see it happen

did you see all of it happen did you see

me yeah no i didn't see it

but but my comrade who participated in

the battle told me everything that

i wasn't there so right now as we speak

you're telling us that everything you

said was only according to your comrade

that's right and he told me everything

then that white devil is out of your

league

what do you think you can tell us

because it's

because it's a triumph for the german

geniuses so you believe that what

happened there was in favor of the

germans

thanks

it was first notice in the woods

all tigers were stuck in the swamp

it almost destroyed the entire battalion

and then it appeared in the north and

whenever it appears our rear flanks

it shot about 15 of our tanks and

self-propelled guns that then vanished

in the forest

how could that thing happen

how come 15 of our tanks couldn't take

down a single fascist one

georgie konstantinovich sir

it's not just a tank i am just trying to

consensus that the tank is one of a kind

if it cannot be penetrated by an is tank

then it's got 250 mm of armor plating

about 100 tons and the strongest german

700 horsepower sir so what's your

do what the germans do i suggest we

based on our t34 over 85. i think by

we can ensure that it carries the

precision firing move to strengthen the

and to reinforce the motor how long

a month in that case you have two weeks

general smirnoff i'm assigning you to

seek out and destroy

every german tank

provisionally we will call it the white

take the t-34 and assemble your crew i

yes comrade marshall who'll be

responsible for this

counter-espionage army general fedotov

you choose the best major yes conrad

marshall

how are you feeling now sir you came

i'm doing good yes everything heals on

he was ninety percent burned but now

he's doing great he was shot in the leg

but wasn't removed from the zone he was

you're really something special naijanov

if that's what you think

so you don't remember anything

your name where you're from where your

no i don't remember anything your entire

me and the army have also tried to find

out what your real name is

would you like to find out

not really not very much well

it was probably petrover stepanov and

naijanov i know that i'm russian

i drive a tank what else do i have to do

your relatives what about your mother

what if you have a family of your own

well if i had them they probably think

a dead man should never come back

a dead man has no business dealing with

i remember how it shot me

the shell flew slowly and straight right

i saw it happen it happened so slowly

i really wanted to move and drive the

i couldn't both of my hands wouldn't

so did you see it yes i saw it

the white tiger he put every single one

of us on fire

what was it like

he's now dead comrade major come on what

what are you saying

the tank what is it like the cannon how

yeah he's a tank a tank the usual tank

well he's bigger than the others and now

there's always someone sitting in the

tank fascists but of course they're all

humans we know that there are people

there

people are always either cowards or

either careless or too brave to face

everything to make a difference

but this one's dead he's not timid

doesn't fumble he does everything just

right

yes just right

there is no salvation

you were recommended as the best driver

in the army

i will request you to be qualified and

to get the rank of junior lieutenant

with classification of commander of the

experimental tank d3485

the tag is a prototype

it has enhanced armor and a more

there will be a three-man crew

a gunner a loader and you

we are giving you the responsibility of

destroying the white tiger

tank commander junior lieutenant

sergeant crew the best gunner

master sergeant perdier loader

he can load the weapons in as fast as 15

he's also not prone to choking from the

gases given off by the tank's turret

during firing did you inform the crew

i did sir are they the best of the best

even better now what

i'm just not convinced i don't think so

why didn't you say so well

i just don't think so they'll just be

sitting in the tank and on the stage of

tank commander and gunner come here

see that barn right there

sir yes sir how far is it

600 meters so you think it's 600.

640. all right i need you to destroy

with a maximum of only two explosions

to your stations

so

it appeared at the rear unit here

and then it made its way to the swamp

right over here

i find it hard to believe

but a fact is a fact it appeared and

completely destroyed five tanks

you can take a look at the place where

it happened if you want

he shot at them right here from the

forest

but right behind that forest is a swamp

a tank can't get in there but he got

where somewhere here in the forest

he's hiding sir

that's not true we went there

yesterday we crawled through every meter

he's there what do you suggest

i'm going to ambush him i need another

just one more a 34 if that's possible

how sure are you that he's in there how

he's there i will burn him comrade major

give me another tank

oh

i need you to go to kutaiso's brigade

give this to him i will be waiting here

comrade major alexei aren't you feeling

he's crazy who well nigenov of course

come on he's lost his mind oh shoddy

both you've got your organs

so

okay

another one

so

reporting for judy comrade major

sergeant slept off i don't know

here's your commander junior lieutenant

nigel

listen i need you to go over that grove

as soon as he appears i need you to

distract him with gunfire and maneuvers

got it you may go now yes sir

hey sergeant i

need you to keep the hatch open do not

get close to him okay

gentlemen eddies

help yourself comrade major

thank you i'm full lead with us we have

enough food

the commander well he doesn't need much

what do you mean sir he only eats bread

i would have ran away from him if only i

he's got some magic protection gun

with someone like him bertiev and i are

what do you think huh

would you like to drink sir

us tank crews we don't drink before a

it's forbidden a lot of men have died

but it's fine for bada df he's a loader

he can get drunk anytime he wants to

right better

do you think he'll come

he will sir

he's looking for me

you

selective

so

uh

you're missing the mark trio

oh

if he destroys that 34 i'm pretty sure

listen up let's move

we're going to be moving right now i'll

once i'm there i need you to hit him

under the turret do you understand me

let's get going

he isn't there what do you mean he's not

there you need to fire i mean i can't

see him

rio get out of there

but why you need to look outside you

need to assess the situation

yes sir

so

commander he's not there

he's gone now he left

he didn't he didn't leave

he's behind you

how could he miss it from such a

and from behind

well he could have blown us to pieces

and they never would have found our

okay i need you to get the clam

and the 27x32

27 by 32. okay

you're wounded

where is he

can you tell me how he got behind you

do you think that i chickened out

i don't think you chickened out i

wouldn't have chosen you if i thought so

he just outsmarted you guys

slip off got hit for nothing

you told me you would destroy that

then what happened to our experimental

i did say that then why aren't we making

this crew deserves a medal for

destroying that tank they did what was

there was only one witness to the battle

deputy chief of counter espionage

as a matter of fact he didn't see how

he saw her tank attack him twice then

the tank disappeared what do you mean it

the battle took place on the edge of the

behind that is nothing but swamp the

probably so it may or may not have sunk

after the battle took place this tiger

was never seen again

here are the tax tracks

over here is where he retreated

there are no other tracks

how are we gonna figure this out

i'm guessing it went through the swamp

we have no idea how but it went there

from this side of the swamp there ought

to be some tracks that we could trace

but there aren't any our field engineers

nothing's here alexei it already sang

you're not going to get it out of the

but it should be there

my agent of insists that it left just

gone

nigenov is a crazy man listen alexi

that happens you know it does a lot of

men have gone crazy in this war

and a lot of us are going to

you know that he prays to the god of

tanks right

to whom the god of tanks he's got his

own god do you get what i'm saying

good day sir

may i ask what brings you here we're

how are you men doing we're doing all

do you know where i can find naijin off

this place is over there

so

sergeant

if we catch you hanging out with another

i will kill you on the spot got that

noted sir

attention what is that berdyev

master sergeant berndiab i'm asking you

those are german schnapps comrade

he found it yesterday in a cellar from a

two barrels der diev didn't they warn

germans leave poison schnapps behind on

it's pretty much another way for them to

kill more of us

is it good

where's nigel with the tanks

which tank the wrecked ones the tanks we

don't use

these are ours in 41 they burned them

here

night yanov

attention your superior wants to talk to

you about something let him be

captain

you know

the white tiger

what about white tiger

he did not sink he's still there so what

and then vanished into thin air hang on

charlie both

so what made you think the tank didn't

he's preparing and waiting for what

waiting for what for when we begin to

attack him again

did the tank god tell you about this

yes

there's god of yours um where is he

sitting on his throne all that surrounds

are the tanks that have perished during

and what does he look like this god

he's wearing a coverall in a tank helmet

he's got a 34 he's also gilded

whenever he sits the thunder peels and

the lightning starts to strike

there you see

and does he help you with your battles

he helps me

i can hear the tanks talk

all tanks are talking but no one

actually hears them like i do

and whenever shells are being thrown at

them they warn me and i get in the way

of the shells for all of them

that's how they're helping me

they want me to live long

and they want me to burn the white tiger

for them

for revenge

to destroy him

i told you that man has gone crazy yes

i do we need to reassign this crew

nigenov needs to be treated in the

hospital creok and berdyev may go to

they're completely out of hand why

what are you thinking alexei i'm not

thinking let's go now

yeah i served in the staff of the

inspector general of the german tank

now can you tell us what happened during

the time you got captured by our army

bring us back to that time you can go

back as far as you can recall

i was actually sent to the front to

accompany a group of specialists from

the ministry of munitions and armaments

can you tell us what happened during the

time you became captive by our army i

do to you that time i became a prisoner

of your scout sir can you tell us

yes what can you tell us about the white

rumors have been spreading about that

legend everywhere

right there have been rumors spread

about that ghost tank and what can you

ghost tank um the white tiger actually

caused us more fear than hope in the

so you're saying that tank has caused

all actually it made us all anxious

believe me in my entire stay at the

i haven't seen even a single document

that links anything with that infamous

white tiger sir so you think everything

so you think the concept of that ghost

tank was fabricated was it something

made up just to give you people

maybe it was something you meant me

maybe it reports directly to hitler

what if it was something you made up and

it reports directly to hitler for

example no i think that's impossible

oh he thinks it's impossible i am sure

no tank was made to destroy its own

he doesn't think a tank was made on

their end

that's impossible the tank does exist

so what do you think sharipova i think

it's possible

they're moving in so tight they can be

comrade army commander everything in the

next 10 kilometers has been cleared

not a single fascist can reach our

established borders

um

help me what in the world is happening

now who's hitting our troops tell me

army commander order our troops to

withdraw do it quickly yes sir

who is it get our troops out of there

orders from the army commander this way

yes it is come on they're dying out

there get them back

ah

hurry up

i can't see a darn thing sir where are

we're in hell now at the devil's party

trio do you see the barn on the right

i can see it sir hit it with an armored

piercing shell on the wall level with

the turret yes sir

now the stupid tank is down that's not

that tank is a t4

this is it that's right

now we're in the party

got it

uh

i hit his turret now he's stuck sir

now finish him off

so

the cannon blew up sir

foreign

set it over right away all right

yes sir tell him i'm here

go ahead sir

good day comrade commander how are you

no thank you i'm all right what about

something to drink i wouldn't say no to

all right then

he's gone it's like he vanished into

he was burning he was hit hard

but you know what germans don't just sit

they should have aborted the mission

i don't think there's

a crew inside of that vehicle

that's the story comrade army commander

are you actually serious

maybe i poured you too much

i asked naija enough after the battle if

when the white tiger is going to attack

do you want to know what he told me that

tank is warning him about it

he said that tanks themselves can feel

the shots coming so they warn their

mechanics about the impending attack

so now he can hear it are you out of

so he can hear tanks

how can his special ability to feel this

white tiger be explained to the people

how would he know that this tank is

going to come out of the swamp again or

that it's waiting for us to start our

you told me that nadionov has a fierce

grudge towards this white tiger because

because this magical tiger burned his

so if he can really hear what his

imaginary tank is warning him about

why didn't he hear it the first time

he didn't have that special ability

during that time

it only surfaced

after he was badly burned during that

attack what do you mean he got burned

what are you trying to tell me general

people don't survive after having 90 of

he was burned and then reborn he was

he's a different person he was reborn

he was reborn to do battle exactly like

that tiger

tell me alexey nikolevich you believed

all that

there is nothing more believable

it's not a mystery after all darwin's

theory on the evolution of organisms

is based on their ability to adapt to

their environment

or perhaps you consider darwin's theory

i don't know anything about darwin but i

the war proved their existence although

remember major my army is headed to

berlin with a speed of 50 kilometers a

and nothing can stop them from it

and regarding darwin let me tell you

you're exhausted that's why all this

foolishness is coming into your head

i'll be giving you a 10-day leave you

all right when you're back we'll be

taking berlin

so

please stop right there stand right here

what's going on here stand on the marker

stand here please stand here please

you may come in you may go in now

please sit over there

so

ask the representatives if they are

with the statement of complete surrender

and the notion of an unconditional

the other party's asking if the other

side is familiar with an unconditional

and complete surrender

yes we are they are

sorry

sorry it is proposed

that the germans will sign the petition

and complete surrender please have the

gentleman sign the agreement letter

it is proposed that the german signed

the petition of unconditional surrender

and please come over to the other side

to sign the petition agreement letter

yes we will okay

sign right here

uh

think yes i will tell them

the german delegation is being asked to

of their unconditional surrender we

would like to ask the german delegation

to please sign the agreement on their

unconditional surrender and complete

submission

have them come over there please sign

them over here

so

gentlemen

would you like some wine uh yes

white here is it okay

no toke is too sweet a red then

have you been there field marshall

where to schlemmers

the restaurant

no i haven't

bring it here

all right let's go

what is this

they are frozen strawberries and cream

agenda

i'm sorry i didn't hear your vehicle

i'm fixing the traction

i see you've got a full allotment of

i have even more i've already loaded up

14 more

want a cigarette

is this german

no it's from france

so where is the crew

where are they we know where they are

it's a victory well yes you're right

darn it they're getting drunk

the war has ended nigerian off

do you hear me

it's the end of the war

until i finish the white tiger the war

isn't finished yet comrade major

he's not there

after the battle in vistula he vanished

he's waiting he is

he'll just wait for 2050 or 100 years

then he'll be back he must be killed

needs to be done

i'm doing what i need to do for justice

so

we've known each other well for a long

a lot of things are binding us together

everything that i'm feeling from you

the war has been lost i know that

we didn't simply lose we know europe has

been routed

but can you possibly imagine what

tomorrow will bring

an unhappy germany and they will blame

the german people will be the scapegoat

for everything thousands of books will

be written about what happened

i know for a fact that it will

thousands of ridiculous documents will

documents against the government will be

written against us hundreds of memories

will be thought up by the people

and we germany and i

we will be brought before the world like

unprecedented monsters of humanity who

try to salvage and risk mankind's safety

as if we're

evil we simply

found the courage to carry out what

europe has been dreaming of doing for a

long time

we said since we think about it

let us once and for all just do it

it's like a it's like a surgical

it's painful at first but then the body

didn't we bring out the secret dream of

weren't those the principles of our

victories after all people have realized

am i right or not everybody has realized

that the things that they were afraid to

tell even their wives were announced

clearly and openly as it bestowed them

a courageous and unified people befits a

they never really love the jews

their whole life has been a life of fear

their whole life they were afraid of

of that somber gloomy country in the

that centaur that alien to europe

i even simply said let us solve these

right now let us solve this

problem now did we come up with

no we only brought

clarity to it we made the questions

because the entire europe has been

seeking clarity and that is all i can

as long as the earth continues to move

as long as cold and heat storms and

the struggle between people and nations

however if people were to live in heaven

mankind won't become what it is thanks

war is a natural ordinary thing

it's eternal and everywhere war

war has no definite beginning and also

war is life itself and also

war it is indefinite no

ending it is the original human

condition

war is it is who we are

so

you
