00:00:00This is BBC London. Here is the German news broadcast.
00:00:0410th of August 1941.
00:00:06As of 10 o'clock, 175 German aircraft have been destroyed in today's raids over this country.
00:00:12The British ship Ark Royal was involved in battle with German fighters.
00:00:16But despite the heavy firing, the Ark Royal remains unharmed.
00:00:20Is that you up there?
00:00:22Yes, I'm a-
00:00:24Be still, my soul. The Lord is on thy side. Bear patiently thy cross of grief or pain.
00:00:43Thinking of Papa again.
00:00:45Guten Morgen, Schlafmütter.
00:00:47Morgen, Mutti.
00:00:48You were certainly out late last night. I was beginning to worry.
00:00:52I was just at Helmets.
00:00:54Exactly.
00:01:05Rudy?
00:01:10Rudy?
00:01:14It says here that a British aircraft carrier named the Ark Royal has been sunk.
00:01:19What is it?
00:01:20The Ark Royal didn't sink. It's still afloat.
00:01:23And just how do you know that? Have you seen it yourself or did you have a dream?
00:01:27I'm not kidding, Mutti. The Ark Royal didn't sink. The newspaper is printing lies. This is the second time the German news has claimed to have sunk it. Helmut said that when-
00:01:36Helmut said. And how does he know?
00:01:39He heard it somewhere.
00:01:41Whatever Helmut says you believe. But no one can know for sure we're at war. Everybody lies.
00:01:48But how do we know that everything we've been told hasn't been a lie?
00:01:50How do we know that it is?
00:01:51What if Germany isn't winning the war like we've been told?
00:01:53Slow down. Slow down. You don't know any of this for certain.
00:01:56Father told me not to get mixed up with the Nazis. You know the terrible things they've done to our Jewish friends. Remember Dr. Levenberg? Why would they stop short of lying about it?
00:02:06Fine. Let's say Helmut is right. The Nazi government has been lying to us. What then?
00:02:14We can't just sit here and take that. We've got to fight back.
00:02:18An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
00:02:21So you're saying we should do nothing? That I should sit here and do nothing while Hitler and the Nazis beat and kill and lie to us about it?
00:02:29No, I am not. But there are better ways to fight.
00:02:32Like what?
00:02:34The best way to fight cruelty and dishonesty is with compassion and truth.
00:02:40I just...
00:02:41Promise me you'll remember what I said. And above all that you won't do anything dangerous.
00:02:46I don't want to be late.
00:02:49I'm going to Helmets tonight so I won't be here when you get home from work.
00:02:54Rudy!
00:02:55Don't worry. I'll be careful.
00:02:58I'll be careful.
00:03:00Tschüss, Smitty.
00:03:02I'll be careful.
00:03:03Bye bye.
00:03:08Bye bye.

00:11:18keep up the good work we must do everything we can to support our soldiers who are fighting to
00:11:23return germany to its rightful place in the sun
00:11:27heil hitler
00:11:36heil hitler you knew he was a party member yes but he usually keeps it separate from church
00:11:40well the party doesn't condemn christianity they don't openly condemn it but they're opposed to
00:11:45anything or anyone they see is competing for loyalty with the fuhrer and the party well so why
00:11:50can't you just do both what is the first commandment of every national socialist what come on the abc's
00:11:56of national socialism what is the first one love germany more than anything and what is the first
00:12:00commandment of god thou shalt have no other gods before me you cannot have faith in hitler's eternal
00:12:06germany and faith in the eternal kingdom of god but but earmore is
00:12:11a nazi and he believes in god and he wouldn't hurt anyone i agree he's one of the kindest people i
00:12:21know so it's possible to do both well no he's managing to reconcile the two so far but once
00:12:25there's a conflict between them where where will his loyalties lie enough philosophical debate for one
00:12:30day you're a professor why don't you and rudy come on over to my place again tonight sure all right
00:12:38all right you're gonna need the extra muscle to carry that typewriter home anyway
00:12:52100 what is it really you said that if you're doing what is right god will protect you
00:13:01are you sure the evil influence of the party is spreading everywhere
00:13:07we must resist evil and help spread the truth no matter the cost it's just that my mother doesn't
00:13:13want to do anything name let us begin with our opening hymn listen rudy if you see your neighbor's
00:13:20house on fire you warn them you don't worry about your own safety and you don't knock politely on the
00:13:25door i will keep speaking out against the Nazis because i am speaking the truth and anyone who knows the truth
00:13:32has an obligation to do the same
00:13:50helmet why did you have to open your big mouth and volunteer to take this typewriter home well i thought
00:13:56it might be useful useful for what i do have a lot of church work to do with it how much church work
00:14:02moonlight and roses bring wonderful memories of you my heart reposes
00:14:15in youth let's see your identification cards
00:14:26are you all members of the hitler youth yes of course
00:14:31a little more respect from you if you please let's hear you recite the oath of allegiance
00:14:37i promise to do my duty come on all of you in love and loyalty to the furor and our flag
00:14:50flag are you part of the hj2 or are you just dumb i'm not a member he can talk i guess he was just scared
00:15:02take that back i'm not afraid of anything take it easy kid this isn't a place to pick fights
00:15:08report to your local hitler youth office this week we'll see if you're scared then
00:15:13why should i go for the honor of joining up of course now get off the streets before i report you
00:15:22but next time we hear your sorry voices screeching it better be a song of the fatherland
00:15:37and report us we haven't done anything wrong the leaders of this country preach comradeship with
00:15:49one hand and threaten and bully with the other all the while saying we should be grateful for the honor
00:15:56people must see through these lies of course the propaganda department put another
00:16:02fresh piece of paper in their typewriter and a new game will begin
00:16:07so let's get those nazi slaves yes let's sing how about a song for the fatherland
00:16:22moonlight and roses bring wonderful memories of you
00:16:37even if actual successes for the german army are lacking such are being officially fabricated so
00:16:49that the german people do not realize that everything that glitters is not gold resist the
00:16:54allure of false hope just because hitler promises you financial and military success
00:16:59does not mean he has the power to bring it about hitler entices you to follow him by holding out the golden
00:17:05promises of prosperity and power for you and your country but he blinds you so you will not see
00:17:11that the price for this promised greatness is your freedom
00:17:19it has been two years since you've been old enough to join the hitler youth and yet we have seen nothing of you
00:17:37i've been very busy what would keep you so busy that you are not able to attend one single meeting
00:17:44I work during the days and go to school in the evenings.
00:17:48And on weekends?
00:17:50I'm busy with my church.
00:17:58It seems to me that you are trying to get out of joining the Hitler Youth.
00:18:04Why would that be?
00:18:06Don't you like target shooting, camping trips, sporting competitions?
00:18:11I already know that you like singing.
00:18:14Is that not right?
00:18:16Yes.
00:18:23I see you like to get in fights.
00:18:33We could teach you to fight properly.
00:18:36What would be more important than that?
00:18:38I'm trying to bring glory to Germany by improving my mind.
00:18:48Well spoken, Rudolf.
00:18:50But I'm sure the Fuhrer would not want you to miss out on the wonderful opportunities the Hitler Youth provides.
00:19:02Take it.
00:19:03I'll fill out the necessary paperwork later.
00:19:05Welcome to the Hitler Youth.
00:19:08Heil Hitler.
00:19:14Heil Hitler.
00:19:21Hey kid.
00:19:23I'm in a hurry.
00:19:24Not so tough now without your friends are you?
00:19:26Tough enough to take you.
00:19:29And I thought you were just a church clown who loves to dance in the streets singing love songs.
00:19:34Watch it.
00:19:35Or what?
00:19:36What can you do to me?
00:19:37Why didn't you find out, you coward?
00:19:39You better say your prayers now, boy.
00:19:42You're gonna need the help.
00:19:43I don't need help to take you.
00:19:44I'll take you.
00:19:58I tell you.
00:19:59It's true.
00:20:00One punch.
00:20:01And down he went.
00:20:02I was so mad.
00:20:03I wasn't gonna let him push me again.
00:20:05He must have been pretty small for you to knock him down.
00:20:08You're just jealous.
00:20:09Because I'm the one getting all the action.
00:20:11The action?
00:20:12Defending the truth.
00:20:13Like Heinrich said.
00:20:15Rudy, you punched one person.
00:20:16What good does that do?
00:20:17Nothing.
00:20:18Why didn't you just join the Hitler Youth anyway?
00:20:21I did once.
00:20:23What happened?
00:20:25I'd rather not talk about it if it's all the same to you.
00:20:27Well, it's not all the same to me.
00:20:32Where have you been?
00:20:33It's almost time.
00:20:34Professor, you don't look so good.
00:20:37Heinrich Vorbes has been arrested by the Gestapo.
00:20:40What?
00:20:41When? What happened?
00:20:42Today, I don't know all the circumstances, but he was out on the street.
00:20:45He said something bad about the Nazis and someone reported him.
00:20:48He was picked up immediately.
00:20:51We warned him to be careful.
00:20:52He was doing the right thing, Carl.
00:20:54And he'll do about as much good as you punching people.
00:20:56At least I'm doing something.
00:20:57Why has this country come to?
00:20:59We're not even allowed to have opinions anymore.
00:21:03If the party is so great and benevolent, why are they so frightened of free thinking?
00:21:07They must be really scared if they're punishing people like Heinrich and Vorbes.
00:21:11He doesn't like Nazis, that's for sure, but his talk is completely harmless.
00:21:16It's not idle talk they're afraid of.
00:21:18What they fear more than anything is the German people learning the truth.
00:21:21Because then we could band together and defeat them.
00:21:23Well, we have the truth and we can't change anything.
00:21:25Well, that's exactly what they want you to think.
00:21:27Then let's do something.
00:21:29Like what?
00:21:30Go around punching all the Nazis we see in the nose?
00:21:32Carl, leave it alone.
00:21:33You sound like my mother.
00:21:34Well, maybe you should listen to one of us.
00:21:35Fine.
00:21:37You're both right.
00:21:38No more fights.
00:21:40But if we want to make a real difference, we have to get organized.
00:21:45Have a plan.
00:21:46Get organized?
00:21:47A plan?
00:21:49If the truth is what the Nazis are most afraid of, then let's spread it.
00:21:53And how do you propose we do that?
00:21:54We can't exactly invite all the people of Germany up into Elbert's attic to listen to the radio.
00:21:58But we can bring the radio broadcast to the people.
00:22:02What?
00:22:04We can bring the radio broadcast to the people.
00:22:07You already have a plan.
00:22:09I knew it.
00:22:10What plan?
00:22:20Hitler the murderer?
00:22:21Where did you get this?
00:22:25I told you to.
00:22:26That typewriter would come in handy.
00:22:30The broadcasts.
00:22:32How did you know that?
00:22:33I used to the radio.
00:22:34I took notes in shorthand and I typed it up.
00:22:36I typed that message verbatim, but I have another one I wrote myself.
00:22:40How did you get it stamped with the Nazi seal?
00:22:43Well, there are certain advantages to apprenticing in the social services department.
00:22:47You can thank them for the red paper, too.
00:22:50Effective, isn't it?
00:22:52This is a chain letter? Pass it on.
00:22:54Oh, I read that in a book.
00:22:55If you say that, the people will pass it from person to person, so it will reach many more people than we could by ourselves.
00:23:01How many do you have?
00:23:03A hundred.
00:23:05A hundred?
00:23:06I used carbon paper, so I only had to type it up twenty times.
00:23:08What are you planning to do with all those?
00:23:10We'll put them in telephone booths.
00:23:12Mailboxes.
00:23:13Apartment houses.
00:23:14Anywhere we can get them.
00:23:16We?
00:23:18Yes.
00:23:19Me, you, and Rudy.
00:23:20They're the musketeers.
00:23:21I won't be a part of them.
00:23:23Don't you want to fight for freedom?
00:23:24Be a part of our brotherhood?
00:23:25Our what?
00:23:32We want to be a brotherhood united.
00:23:35To never part despite danger or want.
00:23:40We want to be free, as our fathers were, and rather have death than to live in slavery.
00:23:46We put our trust in the almighty God and are not afraid of the tyranny of man.
00:23:50Hoffman.
00:23:53Hoffman.
00:23:55Schiller.
00:23:57William Tell.
00:23:58Act two, scene two.
00:23:59You and your band focus on dramatic speeches.
00:24:02Not this time, Helmut.
00:24:04What's the matter, Carl?
00:24:06Scared again?
00:24:07See, that's just it, isn't it?
00:24:08What you said just now about being afraid of the tyranny of man.
00:24:11I am afraid.
00:24:13Alright? I'm terrified.
00:24:15And you should be too.
00:24:17Well, you're right, Carl.
00:24:19It's not a game.
00:24:20You bet it's not a game.
00:24:21It's not one of your silly plays, either.
00:24:22Did you see what they did to Heinrich?
00:24:24He says one small thing about the government.
00:24:26Now he's locked up.
00:24:27And you expect me to help print and distribute hundreds of flyers who say,
00:24:30Hitler the murderer?
00:24:31Heinrich wasn't careful.
00:24:33Look, if we handle it right, it will work.
00:24:36I've thought it all out, trust me.
00:24:38I don't know.
00:24:40Listen, Carl.
00:24:41Carl.
00:24:45You know what brutality the Nazis are capable of.
00:24:50Don't you?
00:24:53We have to do something about it.
00:24:59What good can three teenagers do?
00:25:04We can warn the people.
00:25:05Bring them to the point of asking questions and saying,
00:25:09Wait a minute.
00:25:10Something's not right.
00:25:12I want to learn the truth myself.
00:25:15And once enough people know the truth,
00:25:17Who knows what can happen?
00:25:19Rudy Bobay.
00:25:20Hero of the resistance.
00:25:24Carl?
00:25:27Can I think about it first?
00:25:30Sure, Carl.
00:25:31I'll go home and think about it all you want.
00:25:36But...
00:25:38Can you distribute these along the way?
00:25:48Remember.
00:25:50Telephones.
00:25:51Mailboxes.
00:25:52Wherever you can.
00:25:54Aye, aye.
00:25:56Rudy?
00:25:58Don't get caught.
00:26:01Should the threatening storm overwhelm us,
00:26:04I have but done what I could not refuse.
00:26:05I have but done what I could not refuse.
00:26:08No.
00:26:11No.
00:26:12No.
00:26:13No.
00:26:15No.
00:26:17No.
00:26:18No.
00:26:19No.
00:26:21No.
00:26:22No.
00:26:23No.
00:26:24No.
00:26:26No.
00:26:27No.
00:26:28No.
00:26:29No.
00:26:30No.
00:26:32No.
00:26:33It's been over a month now since the press and the radio in Germany grandly announced
00:26:42the results of the wool collection program.
00:26:44Over 70 million articles.
00:26:47But where are the 70 million articles?
00:26:50The soldiers on the front haven't received them.
00:26:52They do not write about them, but only that they are freezing, freezing, and freezing
00:26:57some more, vainly waiting for some warm winter clothing.
00:27:00German youths, are you actually aware of what the Hitler Youth is and what goals it pursues?
00:27:07A compulsory organization of the First Order for the recruiting of Nazi enslaved national
00:27:12comrades.
00:27:14Hitler and his accomplices know that they must deprive you of your free will in order to
00:27:18make submissive, spineless creatures out of you.
00:27:21For Hitler knows that his contemporaries are beginning gradually to see through him.
00:27:25The murderer of millions!
00:27:26Nazi propaganda is good.
00:27:31It is very good.
00:27:32But it is still not good enough to make gleaming, never-before-seen kinds of victories out of
00:27:38miserable defeats and costly retreats.
00:27:40Out of lost battles and hopeless confusion without anyone noticing that something is rotten.
00:27:46Hitler's New Year's Proclamation reveals all this in perfect clarity.
00:27:50The year 1942 will decide.
00:27:53And this decision is reserved for the German people, long held in darkness, to make.
00:28:00Soldiers on the home front, soldiers on all fronts, the Fuhrer has promised that this year
00:28:05will be decisive, and that he will stop at nothing to keep his promise.
00:28:09He will send you by the thousands into the fire to finish the crime that he started.
00:28:13Therefore, we are calling out to you.
00:28:16Do not let your free will, the most valuable thing you possess, be taken away.
00:28:20Do not let yourself be suppressed and tyrannized.
00:28:23Germans, arise.
00:28:25A determined deed can still rescue you and your country from the abyss to which Hitler has led
00:28:30you with his sweet talk.
00:28:31By the thousands, wives and children will become widows and orphans.
00:28:35Turn your back on the Hitler Youth, the tool of the Hitler regime, for your destruction.
00:28:39Make your decision before it is too late and throw off this unspeakable bird.
00:28:43How much will you tolerate?
00:28:45How long will you wait?
00:28:47Germany, awake!
00:29:09Good morning, schlachtmuth.
00:29:16Another late night.
00:29:19Yes, muti.
00:29:21With helmet again.
00:29:23And Karl.
00:29:27What do you three do?
00:29:29Just talk and listen.
00:29:32Listen to records.
00:29:33What records?
00:29:34Just some of Gerhard's old dance records.
00:29:36Rudy, since when have you been interested in dancing?
00:29:43I have to impress the girls somehow.
00:29:46I don't think you'll need dancing to impress the girls.
00:29:49You're my mother.
00:29:50You have to say things like that.
00:29:52No, I don't have to.
00:29:57You're growing up so fast, Rudy.
00:30:01Sometimes I feel like I hardly know you anymore.
00:30:04And then all of a sudden, I catch a glimpse of my young Rudachin again.
00:30:12Your papa would be so proud of you.
00:30:16Muti.
00:30:19I want to tell you.
00:30:21Yes.
00:30:22I...
00:30:23I...
00:30:24I...
00:30:25I love you.
00:30:30I love you too.
00:30:34I don't know what I'd do without you, mein Scheptin.
00:30:37But Rudy...
00:30:39You haven't been going to Helmets to practice dancing.
00:30:45No.
00:30:45What have you been doing then?
00:30:47Just talking, Muti.
00:30:48That's a lot of talking.
00:30:49What do you three talk about?
00:30:50Life, politics, the future.
00:30:52So serious.
00:30:54You see?
00:30:54We're growing up.
00:30:56No more mischief.
00:30:57Do you give me your word on that?
00:30:59What?
00:31:01Promise me.
00:31:06I promise.
00:31:08Thank you, Rudy.
00:31:10I should get going.
00:31:11Oh, just a moment.
00:31:12You received another summons from the Hitler Youth yesterday.
00:31:15They want you to attend the meetings?
00:31:21Yes.
00:31:22Are you going to?
00:31:23They can force me to join, but they can't make me go.
00:31:26At least think about it.
00:31:27You used to love sports and hiking and...
00:31:30Muti.
00:31:30Now all you do is sit around with Helmut and talk.
00:31:33You know, it might be nice to make some new friends.
00:31:35No.
00:31:35And it would be safer if you went.
00:31:37No, Muti.
00:31:38I can't do it.
00:31:39It's nothing but a training ground for the next wave of Nazi slaves,
00:31:42and I won't be a part of it.
00:31:43Does this have anything to do with that camp out?
00:31:49I'm sure things would be different this time.
00:31:53Please.
00:31:55Please don't make me do this.
00:31:57Rudy, you know I won't force you.
00:31:59I just want you to be careful, and I...
00:32:01I know.
00:32:01I know.
00:32:02That's all you ever say to me anymore.
00:32:08Rudy.
00:32:12Heinrich Vorbs has been released from prison.
00:32:15I have to go see him.
00:32:16He's...
00:32:17He's not the same.
00:32:20What do you mean?
00:32:23Whatever they did to him must have been terrible.
00:32:27I have to tell Helmut.
00:32:29You see?
00:32:31What they did to Heidnik.
00:32:33That is why we have to do something.
00:32:34But that is also why we need to be careful.
00:32:39I'm going to be out late again.
00:32:42Don't wait up.
00:32:42Tschüss, Smitty.
00:32:52Be careful, Roddigan.
00:33:08Air Force?
00:33:09Einer, it's Helmut and Karl, and Rudy.
00:33:14Boys, why are you here?
00:33:16Oh, we came to get you.
00:33:17Do you think we can postpone church services
00:33:19just because you can't get there in time?
00:33:22I thought you would stay away like everyone else.
00:33:25What do you mean?
00:33:27Hasn't anyone come to see you?
00:33:29No.
00:33:32They are all too scared.
00:33:35I cannot blame them.
00:33:38Every night, I dream they are here to arrest me
00:33:42and take me back.
00:33:46What happened?
00:33:49They made me sign a paper that said I had been treated well.
00:33:58They told me if I ever said anything different,
00:34:01they would find me and send me back.
00:34:08What should we do?
00:34:20I don't know.
00:34:22Maybe we should go.
00:34:24Well, we can't just leave him here like this.
00:34:26I don't think he even knows we're still here.
00:34:30Be still, my soul, the Lord is on thy side.
00:34:42Bear patiently that cross of grief or pain.
00:34:48Leave to thy God to order and provide.
00:34:56In every change, ye faithful will remain.
00:35:04Be still, my soul, thy best, thy heavenly friend.
00:35:10Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
00:35:22It was cold.
00:35:24So very cold.
00:35:28They forced us to stand outside naked,
00:35:32knee deep in the snow.
00:35:36Our hands were shackled together in front and stretched out on a block.
00:35:43The water dripped on our hands.
00:35:46All night it would drip, drip and freeze there.
00:35:54Then they would bleed on our frozen hands until the ice was loose and our fingers were broken.
00:36:02They called it the re-education process.
00:36:14It must have been some education.
00:36:20My place.
00:36:22Ten o'clock.
00:36:24Tonight?
00:36:26As often as we can until this ends.
00:36:44In modern war, the enemy fights not only with military weapons,
00:36:48but also with the means to influence the people mentally and spiritually
00:36:52and break down their resistance.
00:36:54The Nazi regime seeks to maintain strict control over the information you receive
00:36:58so they alone can influence your thoughts and feelings.
00:37:02If the German people are to break free of this tyranny,
00:37:05they must first break free of the lies.
00:37:08Those of you listening to this broadcast,
00:37:10tell your friends and neighbors to tune in to the rebroadcast of this program
00:37:14tomorrow at 12 noon.
00:37:16The truth must be spread.
00:37:22Hitler's the guilty one.
00:37:24They're really going to love this one, Helmut.
00:37:26I just wish I could see the look on their Nazi faces when they read this.
00:37:30You think they've seen any?
00:37:32Maybe no one's turned one in yet.
00:37:34Unless someone's been taking them down, they've seen them.
00:37:38What do you mean?
00:37:40You know the bulletin boards outside the apartment buildings?
00:37:44The Nazi bulletin boards.
00:37:46For official party notices.
00:37:48I've been tacking leaflets to them.
00:37:50I've got to hand it to your one gutsy kid.
00:37:54Maybe I've misjudged you this whole time.
00:37:56I like it.
00:37:58At Heinrich's today.
00:38:02You knew exactly what to do.
00:38:04What made you think of singing, Rudy?
00:38:06We sang that song at my father's funeral.
00:38:08My mother always sings it.
00:38:10I just thought it might help Heinrich too.
00:38:16Good old Rudy.
00:38:18You're alright, kid.
00:38:20Does that mean you'll stop calling the kid?
00:38:24Nope.
00:38:38Hey, you better keep it quiet.
00:38:40You'll wake up my grandparents.
00:38:42Just as soon as I teach this kid how to expect his help.
00:38:46You need to figure back to this old man what you can do.
00:38:49What?
00:38:51What?
00:38:53What?
00:38:55Dockumstrasse 42.
00:38:57This is the place.
00:39:11Open up!
00:39:13Let's stop him!
00:39:15What is it?
00:39:17Neighbors.
00:39:18Where's your husband?
00:39:20He...
00:39:21He's not here.
00:39:22We'll check for ourselves.
00:39:23Out of our way!
00:39:24What has he done?
00:39:25Tell me!
00:39:26What has he done?
00:39:27Here he is.
00:39:28I'll be back!
00:39:29Grandad, there has to be a mistake!
00:39:30Stop!
00:39:32Shut your mouth!
00:39:34Stop!
00:39:35Every night someone else disappears.
00:39:45And for a minute, I thought it was gonna be us.
00:39:48They couldn't really be looking for us though, right?
00:39:49How would they even know that we're involved?
00:39:50If we continue to be careful, they shouldn't know.
00:39:58In the stories, it's always one member of the gang that slips up first and gets caught.
00:39:59Or gets tricked by a beautiful spy and rats out the others to save his own life.
00:40:08You've been reading too many spy novels, kid.
00:40:09I don't think we need to worry about being seduced by a beautiful spy, Rudy.
00:40:10I know.
00:40:11I just mean that it's usually just one person that gets caught.
00:40:13So?
00:40:14Rudy's right.
00:40:15We should make a pact.
00:40:16I know.
00:40:17I just mean that it's usually just one person that gets caught.
00:40:20So?
00:40:21Rudy's right.
00:40:22We should make a pact.
00:40:23I don't think we need to worry about being seduced by a beautiful spy, Rudy.
00:40:28I know.
00:40:29I just mean that it's usually just one person that gets caught.
00:40:34So?
00:40:35Rudy's right.
00:40:36We should make a pact.
00:40:38That if we're caught, we will not, as Rudy's spy novels most eloquently put it, rat on the others.
00:40:50I thought we weren't going to get caught.
00:40:52Well, it's just precaution.
00:40:53In case those beautiful spies do get to us after all.
00:40:57Well, what should we say, Hammond?
00:41:00Do each of you make this vow of your own free will and choice?
00:41:05I, Rewinds, I, Rewinds, I, Karl Heinz Schneeve.
00:41:15Right.
00:41:16I do hereby make a solemn vow.
00:41:17I do hereby make a solemn vow.
00:41:18I do hereby make a solemn vow.
00:41:19I do hereby make a solemn vow.
00:41:24I, Karl-Heinz Schneebe, do hereby make a solemn vow, that if I am caught, I will take
00:41:38the blame upon myself and not incriminate the others, no matter what method of questioning
00:41:50or torture, and even in the face of torture, no matter what method of questioning, and
00:41:58even in the face of torture, there, that you do it, it feels so official now, like we're
00:42:10a real resistance group, a brotherhood, united, to never part despite danger or one, sure, but
00:42:18I don't know if I can trust this kid to keep his mouth shut under torture, worry about yourself,
00:42:22I can handle anything, well, you should have seen your face about one minute ago, you weren't
00:42:26exactly calm either, do you know that most of the prisoners of war here are French, what,
00:42:32thousands of them in this military district alone, Saint-Bostol, Lubec, Itzohol, you've
00:42:38lost me this time, Air Professor, well, our first act as a now official resistance group,
00:42:44is to translate the flyers into French, and distribute them to the prisoners of war.
00:42:48Mensch, but Helmut, none of us speak French.
00:42:52Werner Kranz does, Werner Kranz, a boy I work with, I'm going to show him a flyer as soon
00:42:58as I get the chance, look, those men are losing faith, Karl, thanks to Hitler's propaganda,
00:43:04and we can bring them the truth, give them cause to hope again, I don't know, do you really
00:43:10think we should involve someone else? Werner doesn't like Hitler any more than we do.
00:43:14And you can really trust him. Have I been wrong yet? I just don't think it's a good idea.
00:43:18Well, let's put it to a vote then, uh, I vote yes, Karl votes? No. Rooney, what do you think?
00:43:24I think it's a great idea, Helmut. Well, of course you do. That settles it then. Hopefully
00:43:28I'll have the first French flyer by the end of the week, I'll also have another flyer for
00:43:33you to distribute this well. This is just the beginning. It's getting late. I think I should
00:43:43go. Me too. I hate lying to my mother about what we're doing. That's the only part of this
00:43:50I don't like. Well, you have to. It's the only way to keep her safe. I know. I won't say anything.
00:43:57Besides, by lying to a few people, we can bring the truth to many more.
00:44:03Sheath, Helmut. See you Sunday. Oh, and Helmut, don't get caught.
00:44:10Um, Karl? Yes? You don't have to keep doing this, you know. I know. Be careful, Helmut. Don't worry.
00:44:26Everything will be fine. Of course it will.
00:44:29Drei Sturmkopf.
00:44:56Where's Helmut? I haven't seen him. Do you think he slept in? Have you ever known Helmut
00:45:01to sleep in? You're right. He's probably just sick. Before our worship service begins, I have
00:45:03a special announcement to make. I regret to inform you that Helmut Huebner... Helmut Huebner
00:45:10was arrested by the Gestapo three days ago. Oh, what? That's impossible. What happened?
00:45:17I don't know any information other than that it was for political reasons. When we have
00:45:24more information, we will update you. That is all.
00:45:31Carl, wait.
00:45:32No, get away from you, Rudy. Do you want people to suspect us, too?
00:45:33But, Carl, what do we do? What can we do? We could run away. We could go to Switzerland,
00:45:34maybe. No, we can't do that. What would they do to help us?
00:45:35I don't know any information other than that it was for political reasons. When we have
00:45:38more information, we will update you. That is all.
00:45:40Carl, wait. Don't get away from me, Rudy. Do you want people to suspect us, too?
00:45:54But, Carl, what do we do? What can we do? We could run away. We could go to Switzerland, maybe.
00:45:56No, we can't do that. What would they do to our families if we suddenly disappeared?
00:46:01So you think we just sit and wait? We don't draw attention to ourselves. We pretend we're
00:46:06just as surprised as everyone else. But, Carl, we have to do something.
00:46:09We don't do anything. You and I never spent time together without Helmut, and people would
00:46:13be suspicious if we started now. If we have to, we'll talk at church again.
00:46:16But, Carl. What? Will Helmut be able to withstand torture?
00:46:20I don't know. I don't know. I expect it won't be long until we find out.
00:46:25Carl, what are they going to do to him?
00:46:28Stop it. Do you want to drive yourself crazy?
00:46:30Carl, what do I do if they question me?
00:46:31Well, tell them that you burned the leaflets. Tell them that you know you made an honest
00:46:34mistake. Tell them anything but the truth.
00:46:36Carl...
00:46:38No, no, no. No contact. I have to go.
00:46:41If Helmut... If Helmut... If all goes well, I'll see you next Sunday.
00:46:46But, Carl, I...
00:46:47Next Sunday!
00:46:48Dear God in Heaven, please help Helmut to withstand torture. Please, oh please help him not to turn me in.
00:47:15Please help him not to turn me in.
00:47:19Vita... Vita, please. Help me be safe.
00:47:24The Rourke is weakening and they know it. They are feeling the effects of your resistance in the disillusionment of the people.

00:50:56You seen Carl Heinz?
00:51:03Yes, he's...
00:51:05Oh, no, wait.
00:51:06I see his family, but he's not with them.
00:51:09Rudy, are you feeling well?
00:51:15Before we begin our meeting,
00:51:16I have another distressing announcement to make.
00:51:19It deeply saddens me that a second member of our congregation
00:51:22was arrested this week.
00:51:23Carl Heinz Schneeber was arrested by the Gestapo
00:51:27on charges of treason.
00:51:29Apparently, he was working in connection with Helmut Huebner.
00:51:32They've broken the law.
00:51:33They'll all be under suspicion.
00:51:34Who else is involved?
00:51:35Poor boys, what's going to happen to them?
00:51:37They should be shot.
00:51:40All the other traitors.
00:51:44He must be one of them.
00:51:45What if they come?
00:51:46What if they come?
00:51:46What if they come?
00:51:47What if they come?
00:51:49What if they come?
00:51:49What if they come?
00:51:50What if they come?
00:51:51What if they come?
00:51:53Help me.
00:52:05Please, God, help me.
00:52:08Please don't let them fight me.
00:52:11Please keep me safe.
00:52:12Please.
00:52:14Please.
00:52:14Please.
00:52:23Rudy, I'm sorry.
00:52:45I'm sorry, Elayna.
00:52:46I just wanted to protect you.
00:52:48Is it bad?
00:52:51Yes, Rudy.
00:52:53How bad?
00:52:54We've been listening to radio broadcasts.
00:52:57From England.
00:53:00Dance music.
00:53:03But for three curious boys, it's an innocent mistake.
00:53:05Not a mistake, Muti.
00:53:10We would listen to the BBC London.
00:53:13Helmut typed up what we heard into anti-Nazi leaflets,
00:53:16and we distributed them throughout the city.
00:53:20Just once?
00:53:22How many times?
00:53:28Once or twice a week.
00:53:32For six months.
00:53:34Why did you do this after all that I said?
00:53:36I had to do something.
00:53:36But I said to be careful!
00:53:38Rudy!
00:53:40Open up!
00:53:41Gestapo!
00:53:42Did you hit you?
00:53:42The Lord will protect you.
00:53:46Open up!
00:53:47Rob Elway, open the door.
00:53:49Be still, my soul.
00:53:51Open up!
00:53:52The Lord is on thy side.
00:53:55Bear patiently.
00:53:56Open up!
00:53:56Lee, I cross the tree for pain.
00:54:00No!
00:54:01No!
00:54:01Open the door immediately.
00:54:02I tried that already.
00:54:04Open up!
00:54:05I asked God for help!
00:54:07I asked him to help me not get caught!
00:54:10I prayed so hard with you.
00:54:14It didn't work.
00:54:16It didn't work!
00:54:17Rudy, that is not the way that...
00:54:19Are you Rudolph Vobin?
00:54:23Come with us.
00:54:27No, please!
00:54:28Please, no!
00:54:29Rudy!
00:54:30No!
00:54:32Rudy!
00:54:33Oh my God, please protect my son.
00:55:03Full name.
00:55:15Where do you live?
00:55:18Date of birth.
00:55:20What is the full name of the Nazi party?
00:55:24Name the date Hitler was appointed chancellor.
00:55:28What is the first commandment of every national socialist?
00:55:30Face me when answering a question!
00:55:32I love Germany more than anything.
00:55:34Who put you up to this?
00:55:35No one.
00:55:35Who else was involved?
00:55:36Nobody.
00:55:38That's a lie!
00:55:40There was no one else.
00:55:41Have you ever listened to foreign radio broadcasts?
00:55:43No.
00:55:46Did you listen to BBC London at Huebner's house?
00:55:49No.
00:55:49While at Huebner's apartment, did you ever listen to any foreign broadcasts?
00:55:52No.
00:55:53Huebner told us he gave you the leaflet!
00:55:55He didn't.
00:55:58Schneebe confessed to handing them out.
00:56:00That's a lie.
00:56:02Carl said he'd burn them.
00:56:06Carl said he'd burn them.
00:56:09Now, now, Rudy.
00:56:24You go by Rudy, don't you?
00:56:26Why did you do this?
00:56:30I don't know.
00:56:32You must have been pretty excited about learning the information you were hearing.
00:56:36Couldn't wait to talk about it with some of your other friends, maybe.
00:56:40I never spoke to anyone about it.
00:56:45Come now.
00:56:46What about your mother?
00:56:48She knew what you were up to, didn't she?
00:56:50No, no, no, no.
00:56:53She never knew anything.
00:56:56She's an upstanding citizen.
00:56:58She would never do anything to hurt the right.
00:57:00Get up!
00:57:03I'm not finished yet.
00:57:05I would do it if I were you.
00:57:07Those hands could break every last bone in your body.
00:57:13We know Huebner gave you the leaflets!
00:57:16What did you do with them?
00:57:17Nothing.
00:57:19What did you do with them?
00:57:22Nothing.
00:57:22I passed them out.
00:57:29Who did you give them to?
00:57:31I just put them in mailboxes.
00:57:36Where?
00:57:37What streets?
00:57:38Below the rolling down.
00:57:40Below the mill and make.
00:57:41Marry prince's trust.
00:57:43Linus's trust and anus's trust.
00:57:44But that's not all, is it?
00:57:46Is it?
00:57:49Tell me where you put them!
00:57:52I also posted them to the official bulletin boards of the Nazi party!
00:58:01I also posted them to the official bulletin boards of the Nazi party!
00:58:22try and come down.
00:58:24Breathe!
00:58:27It's going to be alright.
00:58:35Breathe!
00:58:41Good.
00:58:44There you go.
00:58:47That's better.
00:58:48I'm Hans.
00:59:03Rudy.
00:59:06First time interrogation, Rudy?
00:59:10Yes.
00:59:11The first is always the hardest.
00:59:13It will get easier.
00:59:15I don't think I can stand anymore.
00:59:18You have been strong enough so far, Rudy.
00:59:23You don't understand.
00:59:27If they'd beaten me for one more second,
00:59:29I would have confessed everything.
00:59:34I felt the same way my first time.
00:59:37But next time, I learned I could endure
00:59:41for more than I thought I could.
00:59:44Its struggle made me stronger.
00:59:46I don't want to learn anymore
00:59:52or grow any stronger.
00:59:56I just...
00:59:58Yes.
01:00:02I want to go home.
01:00:06To you, believe in God.
01:00:08With him, we can be stronger.
01:00:16He will help you if you ask.
01:00:18I did ask.
01:00:21I asked.
01:00:23And I asked.
01:00:24And it hasn't done any good.
01:00:26Will you let me help you then?
01:00:32It doesn't matter anymore.
01:00:38Is the war over?
01:00:40The enemy defeated?
01:00:42No.
01:00:43Them still matters.
01:00:45There's nothing I can do now.
01:00:51Even here,
01:00:53you can continue to fight
01:00:55by resisting their attempts
01:00:56to break your spirit.
01:01:00Listen to me.
01:01:02They will try everything
01:01:03to make you feel alone,
01:01:06hopeless, weak, worthless.
01:01:09If you're going to survive,
01:01:11you'll have to resist their influence.
01:01:16Rudolf Volbeck,
01:01:17come with us.
01:01:18Where are you taking me?
01:01:20You're wanted for further questioning.
01:01:21No.
01:01:22Apparently, they aren't satisfied
01:01:23with the lies you told
01:01:25the first time, swine.
01:01:26Don't get in.
01:01:27Remember, you have to resist.
01:01:28Shut up, you.
01:01:32Resist.
01:01:38I hereby request
01:01:52an acceleration
01:01:53of the above-mentioned case
01:01:54because my son,
01:01:57who is now 16 years old,
01:01:59is experiencing
01:02:00great emotional suffering
01:02:01in prison.
01:02:03I am a war widow
01:02:05employed as a custodian.
01:02:06It is very hard for me
01:02:09to be required
01:02:09to watch my only child
01:02:10go to pieces emotionally
01:02:12from the result of confinement.
01:02:15I have great love
01:02:16and concern for Rudy,
01:02:18despite his actions,
01:02:19and now my nerves
01:02:21are all free
01:02:21because of his grief.
01:02:24It is, therefore,
01:02:26my fondest wish
01:02:27that the main trial
01:02:28will be soon begun,
01:02:29in order that I may be freed
01:02:31from this terrible uncertainty
01:02:32of what will become
01:02:33of my boy.
01:02:34Thank you
01:02:36for your consideration,
01:02:38Heil Hitler.
01:02:45It's been a pleasure.
01:02:47As always.
01:02:51Where's Hans?
01:02:52None of your business.
01:02:55Your indictment papers?
01:02:57We don't have to put up
01:02:58with your smell
01:02:59around here much longer.
01:03:04The blood tribunal.
01:03:06Charged with preparation
01:03:08of high treason
01:03:08and aiding and abetting
01:03:10the enemy.
01:03:11Trial date 11th of August,
01:03:141942,
01:03:15at People's Court of Germany.
01:03:19The blood tribunal.
01:03:20There must be a mistake.
01:03:22We're not dangerous criminals.
01:03:24We're supposed to be
01:03:25tried as juveniles.
01:03:26We're not dangerous criminals.
01:03:28The blood tribunal.
01:03:29You'll be punished
01:03:30for your crimes
01:03:31against Germany,
01:03:32you traitor.
01:03:32I didn't commit any crime.
01:03:34I just listened to you.
01:03:35What?
01:03:37Huh?
01:03:38What did you do
01:03:39that was so innocent
01:03:40that it landed you
01:03:41a date with the People's Court?
01:03:42Huh?
01:03:43Come on.
01:03:43Tell us what you did.
01:03:45Huh?
01:03:46I don't have to confess
01:03:48to you.
01:03:49Come on.
01:03:50Let's go.
01:03:52Doesn't matter.
01:03:53You're being tried
01:04:00by the blood tribunal.
01:04:04You don't stand a chance.
01:04:06Let's go.
01:04:11Wait.
01:04:14What day is it today?
01:04:16The 28th of May.
01:04:17May.
01:04:17May.
01:04:17May.
01:04:17May.
01:04:17May.
01:04:23May.
01:04:23May.
01:04:24May.
01:04:24May.
01:04:24May.
01:04:25May.
01:04:26May.
01:04:47I'm afraid we're not going to cut very dashing pictures of romantic resistance fighters.
01:05:07It's so good to see you again, Hamlet.
01:05:10What a happy reunion this is.
01:05:13And what fine accommodations, too.
01:05:14An all-expense-paid trip to Berlin, courtesy of the Reich.
01:05:18It's good to see you, too, Carl.
01:05:21Hello, kid.
01:05:23Air professor.
01:05:25Carl.
01:05:29Well,
01:05:30might as well get comfortable.
01:05:38How long do you think it will take?
01:05:40The train?
01:05:42No, the trial.
01:05:45I don't know.
01:05:47You nervous?
01:05:49A little.
01:05:51But I'd rather be in the hands of an impartial judge than back with the Gestapo.
01:05:55Rudy, it's the People's Court.
01:05:57It was created by the Nazis with judges handpicked by Hitler himself.
01:06:01How impartial do you think they can be?
01:06:03Someone will speak for us.
01:06:05Probably not.
01:06:06I doubt the defense will produce any witness at all.
01:06:11What about our friends and family?
01:06:13Well, if they spoke for us, they'd be labeled traitors as well.
01:06:16I guess I hadn't really thought about it.
01:06:22Don't you remember how everyone deserted Heinrich?
01:06:24We have no one left at all.
01:06:27We have each other.
01:06:28For the time being, at least.
01:06:30Maybe there's no one willing to speak for us now.
01:06:34But once Hitler is defeated, everyone will be grateful for what we've done.
01:06:38We'll be heroes.
01:06:39Shut up!
01:06:41We're not heroes, Rudy.
01:06:43You're so naive.
01:06:45We've wasted our time.
01:06:46We've put our families in danger.
01:06:47We've endured torture.
01:06:49And Hitler continues to spread his lies.
01:06:51We've made no difference at all.
01:06:53Carl, what's gotten into you?
01:06:56What's gotten into me?
01:06:57Six months!
01:06:59Six months of torture and brutality.
01:07:03Moldy bread and soup that tastes like dirt.
01:07:06Not being able to sleep at night because I can't drown at the sound of constant screaming and crying.
01:07:13Not being able to sleep because I can't help but think about my future.
01:07:17And my family and the danger that I've put them in.
01:07:22Six months of hell where the weak ones don't survive.
01:07:27We know what it's like in prison, Carl.
01:07:31I'm sorry.
01:07:31It's just I'm not going to be the one who's lost his mind blubbering in the corner.
01:07:38We all decided together to do what we could to pass on the truth.
01:07:43Well, I didn't plan on getting caught!
01:07:44And it's me you should be getting mad at, not Rudy!
01:07:57What happened, huh?
01:07:59I spoke with Werner Kranz about translating the flyers.
01:08:09When I showed him one, he was horrified.
01:08:11He shoved it back in my face.
01:08:14I didn't know the office overseer was watching.
01:08:20He questioned Werner, called the Gustav.
01:08:24Ten minutes later, I was picked up.
01:08:25When the Gestapo took me to my house, they found the typewriter with a half-finished leaflet in it.
01:08:37It wasn't going to be my best one yet.
01:08:41I knew then I didn't have much of a chance, but I thought I could still keep our promise.
01:08:47What did they do to you?
01:08:51They beat him to a pulp, kid.
01:08:53What do you think they did?
01:08:56Did they?
01:08:59I'm sorry I told them your names.
01:09:03I couldn't help it.
01:09:08We don't blame you, on it?
01:09:09Do we, Carl?
01:09:14We were all idiots to think we could get away with it, that's all.
01:09:20Carl, did you confess?
01:09:24I told them I'd burn the flyers, if that's what you mean.
01:09:29Good.
01:09:31That's what I told them you did, too.
01:09:33Thank you, Rudy.
01:09:43This will all be over soon.
01:09:46Keep telling yourself that.
01:10:03Helmet.
01:10:27Yes, Rudy?
01:10:32We did make a difference.
01:10:33Didn't we?
01:10:37I...
01:10:37I don't know.
01:10:45Does it really matter so much?
01:10:48I mean, if you had the chance to do it again,
01:10:52to fight against evil,
01:10:56knowing perfectly well you wouldn't really change things,
01:11:00would you do it?
01:11:01Why did you do it?
01:11:03Well, I'm sorry.
01:11:03I'm sorry.
01:11:03I don't know.
01:11:05I don't know.
01:11:05I don't know.
01:11:05I don't know.
01:11:06I don't know.
01:11:07I don't know.
01:11:20I don't know.
01:11:21That's why you're not here.
01:11:23I don't know.
01:11:53I don't know.
01:12:23I don't know.
01:12:25I don't know.
01:12:27I don't know.
01:12:29I don't know.
01:12:31I don't know.
01:13:03I don't know.
01:13:05I don't know.
01:13:07I don't know.
01:13:09I don't remember exactly.
01:13:11Vobae.
01:13:12You admitted to distributing the inflammatory flyers given to you by Huberner in that same
01:13:16year and that you were aware the contents had been gathered from intercepted enemy broadcasts.
01:13:20You tossed them in hallways, mailboxes, and attached some to Nazi party bulletin boards.
01:13:25What were your motives in helping so blatantly to defame the Reich?
01:13:29I don't know.
01:13:31I mean, I have no reason.
01:13:36Were you dissatisfied with the way the country was being run?
01:13:39Or angry with the government in some way?
01:13:41No.
01:13:42Nothing like that.
01:13:43So you simply committed these crimes for no reason!
01:13:47I...
01:13:50I later realized I'd made a mistake.
01:13:52Huberner, you admitted to listening daily to the enemy broadcasts and then typing their propaganda
01:13:57into flyers, which you sought to distribute to the people of Homburg, thereby demoralizing
01:14:02the citizens of Germany and bringing them into danger.
01:14:05What possible reason did you have for distributing these newscasts?
01:14:09Before I state my reasons, I must say again that I alone am responsible for this.
01:14:15But why did you do it, boy?
01:14:17Or do you not know either?
01:14:19Quite the opposite, actually.
01:14:21I knew exactly why I did it.
01:14:24I wanted to share with others what I had heard.
01:14:26My goal was to point out the differences in the newscasts so they, too, would learn the truth.
01:14:32Do you really believe those horrific stories are the truth?
01:14:35Without a doubt.
01:14:37You...
01:14:38Ignorant children.
01:14:40What do you have against the Fuhrer?
01:14:42A man who has given us jobs.
01:14:44Who has put food back onto our tables.
01:14:47And purpose into our lives.
01:14:49A man who has rebuilt our country.
01:14:52And given us back a sense of national pride.
01:14:55A man who is leading us into glorious battle.
01:14:58So that the world will acknowledge again Germany's power.
01:15:01Hitler is a liar.
01:15:03A murderer.
01:15:04And a tyrant who has taken away our freedom.
01:15:06And is destroying this country.
01:15:07Enough!
01:15:12Although you are charged as juveniles,
01:15:14the circumstances of the war make it impossible for the law to waver from imposing the harshest possible punishment.
01:15:20Therefore, the People's Court of Germany hereby sentence the following.
01:15:25Carl Heinz Schneeber.
01:15:30For listening to a foreign radio station and distributing foreign radio news to five years imprisonment.
01:15:35Rudolf Gustav Vobe.
01:15:37For listening to a foreign radio station and distributing foreign radio news in connection with conspiracy to commit high treason to ten years imprisonment.
01:15:47And treasonable support of the enemy of which we have written proof.
01:16:00You are hereby sentenced to death.
01:16:02Do you have anything further to say?
01:16:04Schlieber?
01:16:05No.
01:16:06Huberner?
01:16:07Yes.
01:16:08I must die even though I have not committed any crime.
01:16:09Your turn is next.
01:16:10Vermin like you must be exterminated!
01:16:11The protection of all good German citizens demands it!
01:16:12Take them away!
01:16:13No, Huberner.
01:16:15Yes, I must die even though I have not committed any crime.
01:16:22Your turn is next.
01:16:23Vermin like you must be exterminated.
01:16:25The protection of all good German citizens demands it.
01:16:28Take them away!
01:16:43I don't believe they'll do it, Helmuth.
01:16:58They'll reduce the sentence, you're too young.
01:17:00He's right. No.
01:17:02Look at the wall.
01:17:07Franz Huber, sentenced to death.
01:17:11Goodbye, Mama.
01:17:14Sophie, take care of the children.
01:17:18Farewell, beloved.
01:17:23I do not want to die.
01:17:25Dietrich Schultz, sentenced to death.
01:17:33You still don't think they mean it?
01:17:35But it can't be.
01:17:37You knew they were going to do it, didn't you?
01:17:42They had to have someone to play.
01:17:44It didn't have to be you.
01:17:46You deliberately drew all the attention to yourself. Why?
01:17:49I was the one called first.
01:17:52Tricked by the beautiful spy.
01:17:56They can't do this to you.
01:17:59It isn't fair.
01:18:00Don't worry about me.
01:18:06I know God lives.
01:18:10He will be my judge.
01:18:15This can't be the last time we'll see you.
01:18:18We'll be together again.
01:18:19When this life is over.
01:18:30How about a song?
01:18:32Of the fatherland.
01:18:34One last time.
01:18:35Moonlight and roses
01:18:42Bring wonderful memories of you
01:18:47My heart reposes
01:18:53In beautiful thoughts so true
01:18:57June.
01:18:59June light discloses
01:19:04Love's golden dreams sparkling anew
01:19:09Vobay!
01:19:11Schneeba!
01:19:13You two were in the wrong cell.

01:19:17You go back to Hamburg.
01:19:23Come.
01:19:24I'll be the same, my friend.
01:19:28I'll be the same, my friend.

01:20:2520th of August, 1942, Alt-Mohabit Prison, dearest Murti, I am all alone now.
01:20:55The trial is over, and I have said goodbye to my friend Helmut, forever.
01:21:03I was so naive, thinking we could make a difference.
01:21:08I thought we could change the world, but now I see that I have nothing.
01:21:13I have accomplished nothing, and life means nothing to me anymore.
01:21:21I hope my life will not last long.
01:21:28Oh Mutti, I'm sorry for everything.
01:21:32I don't know what to do.
01:21:35I can't face ten years in this place all alone, Mutti.
01:21:42I just want to die.
01:21:47Mein Liebster Rudiken, resist the temptation to give in to despair.
01:21:54You must survive and continue the fight.
01:21:58I can't.
01:22:01There is no one to help me.
01:22:05I am all alone here.
01:22:09I am so alone.
01:22:12No, Rudy.
01:22:13No.
01:22:14You are never alone.
01:22:15Even when there is no one else, God is with you always.
01:22:19Turn to him, and he will help you resist the despair and the evil influences that surround
01:22:39you.
01:22:40Without him, we are, all of us, weak.
01:22:46But with him, we can be made strong.
01:22:52Alles Liebe Mutti.
01:22:56To God in Heaven, help me.
01:23:24Please, help me to not feel so alone.
01:23:31I can't do it without you.
01:23:37Bitte.
01:23:41Please.
01:23:44Please.
01:23:49God, please.
01:23:52God, please.
01:24:13Hello?
01:24:22Hello?
01:24:30Guard!
01:24:32Guard!
01:24:35What is it?
01:24:36Where's that singing coming from?
01:24:38There's a chapel below us.
01:24:40It's the Sunday service.
01:24:43Redcapped floor states.
01:24:45Why?
01:24:46Ready!
01:24:47If you like a door's not worried.
01:24:51Veryята!
01:24:53Redcapped floor states.
01:24:56Did you hear the truth?
01:25:01No!
01:25:08They've no clue about
01:25:10they need to let you know.
01:25:12I let thy hand be fed
01:25:19Who are you blaming?
01:25:23Who are thy father?
01:25:34Be still, my soul, thy God on the thunder's day
01:25:49To guide the future as thee
