00:01:35What the bloody hell is this?

00:01:37Don't know, soldier.

00:01:39There can't be more of them.

00:01:40There just can be.

00:01:42Open the gates!

00:01:52Keep doing, keep doing, keep doing.

00:01:54It's okay.

00:01:55Look.

00:01:58Better go back.

00:02:00Why?

00:02:00You said there would just be a stroll.

00:02:02It is.

00:02:03No, quiet.

00:02:04God almighty.

00:02:13Allow him to march past like so.

00:02:16When you walk across, slowly and quietly.

00:02:19Do not hurry.

00:02:20If you hurry, you won't make a noise.

00:02:23Do not take too long either, because remember, you must turn when it gets to the end.

00:02:26I need my heat, Luke.

00:02:27Now just watch.

00:02:28You will see that you have plenty of time.

00:02:30When you are ready, go.

00:02:32I will follow.

00:02:33Or would you prefer me to go first?

00:02:35No, no.

00:02:36Infra-penny, infra-penny.

00:02:37What?

00:02:38I go first.

00:02:39Okay.

00:02:41What happens if they catch us?

00:02:42I do not know.

00:02:43I've never been caught yet.

00:02:45Now watch.

00:02:59Got another 32 for you, Sarge.

00:03:01No, we don't need another 32.

00:03:03Aye, well, there's a lot near where they came from.

00:03:05Old train loaded and just turned up at the station.

00:03:14We wouldn't do it rather long until next week.

00:03:17I just don't have the room for them.

00:03:19Well, they're here, Sarge.

00:03:21Jesus.

00:03:23Okay.

00:03:24On you go.

00:04:44Mother dear, I'm riding you from somewhere in front.

00:04:48Hoping this finds you well.

00:04:52Sarge says I'm doing fine.

00:04:54Oh, dear, and I'll hide.

00:04:56Here's the song that we all sing.

00:04:58It'll make you laugh.

00:04:59We're gonna hang up the washing on the sea freeze line.

00:05:03Have you any dirty washing, mother dear?

00:05:05We're gonna hang up the washing on the sea freeze line.

00:05:11Cause the washing bay is here.

00:05:14Whether the weather may be, wait or find you.

00:05:18The beer is over there.

00:05:19We'll take only two buckets.

00:05:21One for each bucket.

00:05:23Two more for me.

00:05:25Well, let's see what else we can find for a party.

00:05:37You sure know your way around.

00:05:39I've been here for a long time.

00:05:40You two will soon know your way around.

00:05:43I don't think we'll be here very long.

00:05:45A couple of weeks then we'll be released again, Tony, for sure.

00:05:48Perhaps.

00:05:49What do you mean perhaps?

00:05:50I do not know of anyone who has been released so far.

00:05:54Some people have been here longer than I have.

00:05:56They're bringing in more people all the time.

00:05:58We're not really far enough, sir.

00:06:00We've been here for 20 years.

00:06:01Why would they keep us?

00:06:03Oh.

00:06:06I think we should be getting back.

00:06:08We've been here long enough.

00:06:09I don't want to get in any trouble for something like this.

00:06:12It'll be okay.

00:06:13Do not worry.

00:06:13I often come out at night.

00:06:15I get bored lying in the heart.

00:06:17Where do you go?

00:06:18Well, sometimes I come here and just listen to the radio through the door.

00:06:23We are not allowed newspapers here.

00:06:25Though you can get them if you pay the guards enough money.

00:06:27This is the easiest way to find out how the war is going.

00:06:31Sometimes I visit a friend.

00:06:34A friend?

00:06:34Where came a friend?

00:06:35Her name is Betty.

00:06:37She lives in the other part of the camp.

00:06:40You can't get a crosshair.

00:06:42Yes, you can.

00:06:43Why didn't you meet her?

00:06:45I was sent to work over there in the gardens soon after I arrived.

00:06:49She brought me tea one afternoon when we talked and discovered that we had a mutual interest in Goethe.

00:06:55She got permission from the commandant for me to tutor her in German.

00:06:58Her husband's quite important.

00:07:00He works at a communications center somewhere near the camp.

00:07:03In charge of the nightstand.

00:07:05So, we began to meet twice a week, always with the soldier presently, and we would have long conversations, always

00:07:11in German.

00:07:13We got to know each other very well.

00:07:15And one day, she invited me to come back and visit her that night.

00:07:19It was a sort of challenge, so I went.

00:07:21It was easier then to move her on the campus.

00:07:24Things were more relaxed.

00:07:25It's more difficult now, but I still managed to visit her.

00:07:28I like her very much indeed.

00:07:31You're making me nervous.

00:07:33Come on, let's get back.

00:07:34Okay.

00:07:35Okay.

00:07:39Okay.

00:07:52I don't know why the Germans went to invade it.

00:07:54Looks to me that the buggers are all here already.

00:07:57Hey, let them in.

00:08:39How was it?

00:08:40Was it easy?

00:08:41Oh, aye, it's a piece of cake.

00:08:43Can I go next time, eh?

00:08:44Can I?

00:08:44No.

00:08:45But I thought you should...

00:08:46No.

00:08:46Your father scares easy.

00:08:48Hey, hey, hey.

00:08:48Too right I do.

00:08:49He took us right across the camp.

00:08:51Right near the front gates.

00:08:53I thought we'd had that half a dozen times.

00:08:55And see why they locked them away.

00:08:57He's a dart.

00:08:58It was fun.

00:08:59It's not my idea of fun.

00:09:01Gentlemen, we welcome you to our camp.

00:09:04And I wish Tony a very happy birthday.

00:09:08It's not my birthday.

00:09:09You are 17 and a quarter today, no?

00:09:12Aye.

00:09:12So, today is the day that you should have joined the Navy.

00:09:15That's what you told me.

00:09:16Aye, best.

00:09:17It's a very important birthday.

00:09:18From today, you could have been fighting for your country.

00:09:21If your country had not locked you up first.

00:09:24Of course, get come on.

00:09:25This was, I think, very intelligent of the British.

00:09:28Anyone can see that he is a highly dangerous character.

00:09:34That's just crazy.

00:09:35I drink to that.

00:09:36Happy birthday, Tony.

00:09:38Happy birthday.

00:09:39Happy birthday.

00:09:40Happy birthday.

00:09:54I mean, I should write to my wife.

00:09:57Where can I get some paper?

00:09:59They will issue you with paper.

00:10:01But you cannot send a letter until you have been here for ten days.

00:10:05Why?

00:10:06Regulations.

00:10:08Well, I suppose if that's the rules, that's the rules.

00:10:10Doesn't make you angry?

00:10:13Anxious.

00:10:14No angry.

00:10:16Your wife.

00:10:17How will she manage?

00:10:19She'll be okay.

00:10:21The cafe's closed now, so there's nothing to do there.

00:10:24She's still got plenty of friends.

00:10:26Folk that don't talk to her now were never really friends anyway.

00:10:30Did the police make you close the cafe down?

00:10:32No.

00:10:33I closed it.

00:10:35Seemed like the best thing to do.

00:10:37We started getting some trouble at night.

00:10:39We never had any choice.

00:10:41They smashed the place up.

00:10:43They'd have killed us if they got the chance.

00:10:45No, that's not true.

00:10:47You're too soft, you.

00:10:48Tell them what happened.

00:10:50Go and tell them.

00:10:51There's nothing much.

00:10:53It's just the kind of trouble you'd expect when they looked as if Italy was coming into the war.

00:10:58Could have been much worse.

00:11:00No, no, no.

00:11:02Listen.

00:11:03It'd been happening for nearly a week.

00:11:05Every night.

00:11:07We'd get a crowd with them outside the cafe.

00:11:09Go back to Italy.

00:11:10See how you like it there.

00:11:12We hate wops.

00:11:14Bigger off.

00:11:15We don't want you and Paisley.

00:11:17We hate wops.

00:11:18We hate wops.

00:11:20We hate wops.

00:11:24We hate wops.

00:11:26We hate wops.

00:11:28We hate wops.

00:11:29We hate wops.

00:11:29Let's get them out.

00:11:31We hate wops.

00:11:32We hate wops.

00:11:33We hate wops.

00:11:34We hate wops.

00:11:35We hate wops.

00:11:45We hate wops.

00:11:47We hate wops.

00:11:49We hate wops.

00:11:51We hate wops.

00:11:53We hate wops.

00:11:55We hate wops.

00:11:57We hate wops.

00:11:59We hate wops.

00:12:01We hate wops.

00:12:03We hate wops.

00:12:16We came as soon as we heard.

00:12:18Aye, I know.

00:12:20I'm sorry, sir.

00:12:24Some of those folk were boys I'd gone to school with.

00:12:27Most of them were folk who'd been into the cafe at one time or another.

00:12:30Most of them would go right back into the cafe now if it was open.

00:12:34They don't hear us.

00:12:37Now it's just something that flared up.

00:12:40It's hot.

00:12:40That's it.

00:12:41Finished.

00:12:42You trust this country too much?

00:12:45Well, I live here long enough.

00:12:46I know this country.

00:12:48Sure, I trust it.

00:12:50Every day I am here, I grow more angry.

00:12:53The more I rage and complain, the more they regard me with suspicion.

00:12:59So I keep my head.

00:13:01And I hold my tongue.

00:13:03But I do not know for how much longer I can do this.

00:13:06Oscar.

00:13:07Oscar.

00:13:08In Austria, I was a journalist.

00:13:11I started writing about the Nazis in 1933.

00:13:15And I've been working against them ever since.

00:13:17I worked on illegal newspapers.

00:13:18I hoped to smuggle money into Austria, to smuggle people out.

00:13:23Then, when I could no longer stay in Austria, I went to France.

00:13:26I kept on doing whatever I could against the Nazis from wherever I was.

00:13:32And then, last year, when even Paris was no longer safe, I came here.

00:13:37And what happens?

00:13:39I cannot get a work permit.

00:13:40There's no work permits for foreigners.

00:13:43I tried to join the Air Force.

00:13:45I am a qualified pilot.

00:13:46But no, you do not want me.

00:13:49Then, in October, I am called to go before a tribunal that will establish my status.

00:13:53The chairman sees that I am a Jew and a member of the Austrian Communist Party.

00:13:58And that's it.

00:14:00I am clearly a danger to the country.

00:14:03Soon after, I was arrested.

00:14:06I came to England to fight Nazis and they locked me up.

00:14:10It is stupid.

00:14:12Oscar, it's enough.

00:14:14I'm sorry.

00:14:18Forgive me.

00:14:25It's okay.

00:14:43You do not want one of these, no?

00:14:45Aye, sure I do.

00:14:47No, no, no, no.

00:14:47They are not very good.

00:14:49Oh, come, Oscar, bitte.

00:14:57Come on, move it.

00:15:06What is it?

00:15:08I don't know.

00:15:09Let's clear the way.

00:15:10Get into bed.

00:15:11Okay.

00:15:27Halt!

00:15:29Victory!

00:15:30Victory!

00:15:31Take a mattress!

00:15:32Do you mind what's going on, sir?

00:15:33Good.

00:15:41Come on, up!

00:15:42Move the bed back against the wall!

00:15:45Come on, move it!

00:15:52You two!

00:15:53Up at the door for you, all right?

00:15:59Keep the light on for ten minutes.

00:16:01No longer.

00:16:02Is that clear?

00:16:04Aye.

00:16:28What is it?

00:16:29What is it?

00:16:33What is it?

00:16:34I'm sorry.

00:16:35What?

00:16:35They told me to remove it, and the soldier put it in his pocket.

00:16:40Tony, do you sleep on the floor, yes?

00:16:42Aye, sure.

00:16:45Thanks, too.

00:17:10What the hell did he say?

00:17:12Oscar, he can have it.

00:17:14Please, let him have it.

00:17:15I do not want it.

00:17:16No, please.

00:17:18Oscar, what did he say?

00:17:20He says he will not sleep on the floor while a Jew sleeps on a bed.

00:17:26Oscar, no!

00:17:26No, no, no, the soldiers are here.

00:17:28Oscar, don't cause trouble, please.

00:17:29We can go and see somebody tomorrow.

00:17:30You just let it go for the night.

00:17:34Bruno, you take my bed.

00:17:35I will sleep on the floor.

00:17:37No, I do not...

00:17:37Bruno, take the bed.

00:17:39Okay.

00:17:40Okay.

00:17:42Okay.

00:17:58No, no, no.

00:18:08Okay.

00:18:25What's he now, Oskar? What does he want?

00:18:34He wished to know where we can eat.

00:18:36Right across the path, if there you see the cantina front here.

00:18:59We get another hut.

00:19:01You can try, it will do no good.

00:19:04How do you know that?

00:19:06Will you come with me to see the Major?

00:19:09Okay.

00:19:27Look at all of these people.

00:19:29The camp wasn't this busy the last couple of days.

00:19:32We must be getting more frightened out there.

00:19:38Okay.

00:19:41Okay.

00:19:50Okay.

00:20:07What is this?

00:20:10No one is very sure.

00:20:11The closest we have come is that it looks like tea, smells like coffee and tastes like cocoa.

00:20:20Okay.

00:20:24Okay.

00:20:26Okay.

00:20:30Okay.

00:20:42Okay.

00:20:44Who is he?

00:20:45German officer.

00:20:47Must have been brought in last night.

00:20:49We'll be organizing all the other Nazis in the camp.

00:20:53Are you okay?

00:20:55Are you sure?

00:20:56I'm perfectly all right.

00:20:59Have you been here as long as Oscar?

00:21:02Longer.

00:21:03They'll let you see your wife.

00:21:04I sure hope they'll let me see mine soon.

00:21:06I have no advice.

00:21:07Is that Oscar sir?

00:21:08No.

00:21:09Nothing.

00:21:10Hey, you told me Bruno had a family.

00:21:12No.

00:21:13Have you done?

00:21:14No.

00:21:33Yes.

00:21:34We'd like to see the Major.

00:21:36Please.

00:21:37We'd like to see the Major.

00:21:39Please.

00:21:40Sorry.

00:21:40Please.

00:21:42No.

00:21:44Why can't we?

00:21:46He's busy.

00:21:47What do you want?

00:21:48Last night, two sailors were brought into our hut.

00:21:51We'd like them to move to another hut.

00:21:53Oh?

00:21:54Why?

00:21:55They're Nazis.

00:21:58You could all be Nazis for all I know.

00:22:02No transfers.

00:22:03There's no spare room anywhere on the camp.

00:22:05Look.

00:22:06I'm Italian.

00:22:07I've lived half of my life in this country.

00:22:09Don't shut.

00:22:09That's sensible advice.

00:22:10I want to see the Major.

00:22:11Please.

00:22:12No.

00:22:13There's no point.

00:22:32There's only one sensible thing to do.

00:22:35What's that?

00:22:35Escape.

00:22:37It's gotta be a joke.

00:22:38It would be easy.

00:22:38You saw that.

00:22:39I saw nothing at the camp.

00:22:40How are you going to get over that fence?

00:22:42Could be done.

00:22:43Never.

00:22:45If you want to do it, you go right ahead.

00:22:46On my own, with this accent, I would not get very far.

00:22:52Hey.

00:22:54What was all that about Bruno's family?

00:22:57He told me he had a family.

00:22:59I'm sure you did.

00:23:00I should have been more careful.

00:23:02Well, does he hurt, doesn't he?

00:23:05Bruno and his family were in concentration camps in Germany, together at first, then split

00:23:10up.

00:23:10He was released because his sister managed to bribe someone, but she could, it seems,

00:23:14only afford one person.

00:23:16His wife and children are still there.

00:23:18He should never have left them.

00:23:20No, his sister told him that they were in England.

00:23:21He would never have left Germany otherwise.

00:23:23She was still trying to get them out, but he hasn't heard from her now for over a year.

00:23:28This is the story that Bruno told me when I came here first, but now he says that

00:23:33they died two years ago, which is, I think, when he saw them last.

00:23:36And he really believes this now.

00:23:38It is as if he's killed them to stop them suffering.

00:23:44Must be sick.

00:23:45Yes.

00:23:47He's being destroyed by his sense of guilt.

00:23:50Why?

00:23:51Why should he feel guilty?

00:23:52He couldn't do anything about it.

00:23:54It doesn't matter.

00:23:55He's the one who escaped.

00:23:56He cannot forgive himself for that.

00:23:58I think it would be good if we tried to make sure that Bruno is never left on his own,

00:24:02in the heart anyway.

00:24:03Sure.

00:24:04I tell Tony.

00:24:05But be careful.

00:24:05If he finds out, he's likely to become even more alarmed.

00:24:08Aye, sure.

00:24:26You had enough?

00:24:28Aye.

00:24:29Me too.

00:24:32I guess we better get rid of this.

00:24:46See, when this is our hour, will we go back to Italy?

00:24:50Back to Italy?

00:24:52Back to Italy?

00:24:54Back to Italy?

00:24:55You hardly ever been to Italy.

00:24:57I was born there.

00:24:59Three months you live in Italy.

00:25:00Three months.

00:25:04The only reason you was born in Italy was because your mother wanted to be with her mother.

00:25:09So we all go back to Italy to wait for you to arrive.

00:25:13You know about Italy, eh?

00:25:18In Italy, you are either a priest, a gangster or poor.

00:25:23We were poor.

00:25:25It's a beautiful country.

00:25:27Sure, it's very beautiful.

00:25:29But what good is that when you're starving and your family's starving?

00:25:33No.

00:25:35This is where we live.

00:25:37And this is where we stay when all this nonsense is over.

00:25:43Hey.

00:25:45You say something in the tell, you know?

00:25:48I don't know any dear.

00:25:50Back to Italy.

00:26:04Gennaro?

00:26:05Yes?

00:26:06Gennaro, eh?

00:26:07No, that's me.

00:26:09I'd like you packed and outside the main office in 25 minutes.

00:26:12Yeah, where's he gone?

00:26:13I don't know.

00:26:14Can I not go away, Mum, his father?

00:26:15It's not up to me.

00:26:1725 minutes.

00:26:21Bertline?

00:26:21Yeah?

00:26:22Costello?

00:26:23Say?

00:26:24Gennaro?

00:26:25Aye.

00:26:25Gennaro?

00:26:26Here.

00:26:27Okay.

00:26:28Into the lorry.

00:26:32Not you.

00:26:34Why?

00:26:34You're not on the list.

00:26:36What difference would make to you where I'm kept?

00:26:38It doesn't make any difference to me, but I don't give the orders.

00:26:41I'm his father.

00:26:42I want to be with him.

00:26:42I'm sorry.

00:26:43You can't go.

00:26:45Don't make a fuss.

00:26:46It's...

00:26:46It's okay.

00:26:47I'm not in anymore.

00:26:48I can look after myself.

00:26:51Alright.

00:26:57Be careful.

00:26:58Aye, sure.

00:26:59Are you right home as soon as you can?

00:27:01Your mother will let me know where you are.

00:27:03Sure.

00:27:03Don't worry.

00:27:18I'd like to see the Major.

00:27:20Please.

00:27:21Gennaro, isn't it?

00:27:23Aye, that's right.

00:27:25Okay.

00:27:26Wait a minute.

00:27:28Come in.

00:27:30Gennaro.

00:27:31See you, sir.

00:27:31Right.

00:27:32Okay.

00:27:36Come in, Mr. Gennaro, please.

00:27:38Take a seat.

00:27:41How are you?

00:27:42Well, I hope.

00:27:43Aye, I'm fine.

00:27:44Good.

00:27:46Look, I was...

00:27:46I know why you're here, Mr. Gennaro.

00:27:49I'm not quite sure how this has happened.

00:27:52It ought not to have happened.

00:27:55This is an unfortunate business, but I don't like to think we're making it any worse than

00:28:00it need be by splitting up families more than is necessary.

00:28:04However, it's done.

00:28:05There's nothing much we can do about it now.

00:28:08Okay.

00:28:09Can you not have him brought back?

00:28:10I'd feel much happier if he was with me.

00:28:13Ah.

00:28:13It's not that simple, I'm afraid.

00:28:16By the time any request went through, it would be too late.

00:28:19I don't understand.

00:28:24The government has recently adopted a policy of sending internees out of the country.

00:28:30Now, this makes perfect sense.

00:28:31If there is an invasion, and it looks more and more likely every day, we can't have

00:28:36camps full of fifth colonists and out-and-out Nazis dotted around the country just waiting

00:28:41to give the Germans a hand.

00:28:42Out of the country?

00:28:43Yes.

00:28:45To where?

00:28:46Canada, I believe.

00:28:48Canada?

00:28:49Yes.

00:28:52Canada?

00:28:54Yes, it's on the other side of the Atlantic, just above America.

00:28:57I know where Canada is.

00:28:59Yes, of course, I'm sorry.

00:29:00What the hell you sent to me to Canada for?

00:29:04What's your language?

00:29:08I'm sorry.

00:29:09I don't know why your son was on that list.

00:29:12I don't even know yet where the list came from, although I'm trying to find out.

00:29:16Obviously, someone somewhere hadn't checked the files properly, or hadn't got the files

00:29:21to check.

00:29:23I am assuming, of course, that they wouldn't know anything about him that I don't.

00:29:28God's sake, he's just a 17-year-old boy for Paisley.

00:29:32For the last three years he's been helping me to make ice cream in the back shop and serving in

00:29:37the cafe at night.

00:29:37Any political activity?

00:29:40No.

00:29:41Look, I'm sorry about this.

00:29:43I even feel partly responsible, but there's nothing I can do.

00:29:46I don't even know where he's gone.

00:29:48It could be Liverpool, Greenock.

00:29:50It would take hours, maybe days, to find out.

00:29:53Then it would take several more days to get the authority to have him brought back.

00:29:57Then I should have to get that authority to whoever has him to have him released back into my custody.

00:30:03This is crazy.

00:30:05Yes, I understand how you feel.

00:30:06I don't share this hysteria about you foreign chaps that seems to be sweeping the country.

00:30:12I know the men here, apart from the POWs and a few others, they're as pro-British as anyone.

00:30:18That's why I'm on your side.

00:30:20If you are on our side, why you not do something?

00:30:28I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that, Mr. De Naro.

00:30:32I've already told you there's nothing I can do about your son now.

00:30:36He is completely out of my jurisdiction.

00:30:41You should be glad your son is gone.

00:30:44He'll be much better off in Canada.

00:30:46There's no food shortage over there.

00:30:49And, of course, he'll be completely safe, no matter what happens here.

00:31:09I don't say anything to Bruno.

00:31:12You should worry him more than more.

00:31:14OK.

00:31:29Oi.

00:31:30You know anything about the internees that went out this morning?

00:31:33Aye.

00:31:34What do you want to know?

00:31:35Who made out the list?

00:31:36I did.

00:31:37Damn.

00:31:38Why?

00:31:39What's up?

00:31:40There was a boy of 17 on the list.

00:31:42His father's on the camp.

00:31:44The mage is upset that we split him up.

00:31:46Well, I didn't know.

00:31:47It didn't say anything about that in the file.

00:31:49What did you pick on him for?

00:31:51Divisional HQ gave me a quota.

00:31:53So many Germans, so many Italians.

00:31:56All categoriers.

00:31:57They're bad bastards.

00:31:58They're shipping them off somewhere safe.

00:32:01Well, the Germans were no trouble, but I was too Italian short.

00:32:04I needed three, and I only had one with any form.

00:32:07So I picked two at random.

00:32:09Go blimey.

00:32:10Well, I had to fill my quota.

00:32:11I mean, I phoned them up, and I said, could I no send them to mere Germans?

00:32:15But they said that would bugger up their quotas.

00:32:17Christ almighty.

00:32:18Who are you going to tell them?

00:32:20He'll only give us a bollocking.

00:32:22He'll want to see all the files next time, and we haven't got all the files.

00:32:25It'll just mean mere work for everybody.

00:32:27And Christ knows we've got enough of that as it is.

00:32:30I'll think about it.

00:32:31Listen.

00:32:32Next time you make up a list, at least let me know.

00:32:35Aye.

00:32:36Right?

00:32:36Turbom.

00:32:40Come in.

00:32:45Sir, I've been checking up on the list of internees that went out this morning.

00:32:48Seems it came from Divisional HQ.

00:32:50Well, why are they drawing up lists of prisoners to be moved when they don't even have the prisoners' files?

00:32:54Sir, in many cases, we don't have the files either.

00:32:57Who issued the list?

00:32:58They haven't been able to tell me that yet, sir.

00:32:59Well, keep on asking.

00:33:01I do want to know.

00:33:02They are very busy, sir.

00:33:03All right.

00:33:04All right.

00:33:04But let's try and be a little more careful in the future.

00:33:07Yes, sir.

00:33:08All right.

00:33:16If we had done something wrong, well, this would be much easier to take.

00:33:21If nobody even accuses us, I haven't done anything wrong.

00:33:26Major.

00:33:27Friendly and pleasant and even sympathetic.

00:33:31Just wouldn't do anything.

00:33:33In my last camp, there was a man that I knew slightly from back in Austria.

00:33:37He was German, but we'd met several times in Wien.

00:33:41His name was Karl Olbrich.

00:33:43He was a metal worker.

00:33:44Also, previously a communist member of the German parliament.

00:33:48The Gestapo caught him doing underground propaganda work in 1935 and he was sent to concentration camp.

00:33:54Somehow, he escaped to Czechoslovakia and then to England.

00:33:58But here, he was interned like the rest of us.

00:34:02After one month in the camp, he had a complete nervous breakdown.

00:34:06He had survived two years in Dachau, but he could not take one month in a British camp.

00:34:11You see, he knew what to expect in Germany.

00:34:14And when he came here, he thought he would be treated as a friend.

00:34:17To not expect this.

00:34:20I'm sure we'd not be here much longer. I'm quite sure.

00:34:23I think that we would be here for a very long time indeed.

00:34:26Do you think they're going to send Tony back from Canada next week?

00:34:29Or even next month?

00:34:31I don't know.

00:34:32You should escape.

00:34:34They don't even want to hear.

00:34:38Be crazy.

00:34:40I could do it.

00:34:41I don't see how.

00:34:43Even if you got out, what would you do after that?

00:34:45You don't stand a chance.

00:34:47The town is just up here.

00:34:49A mile or two away, yes?

00:34:50Aye.

00:34:51I would not go there.

00:34:53That is what they would expect.

00:34:55I would go south along the coast.

00:34:58About 25 miles away, there is another town.

00:35:01I would get a train from there to the south of England.

00:35:04There I would try to steal a plane.

00:35:06Why?

00:35:07Or a boat.

00:35:08In Inuit?

00:35:10I might fly to Spain.

00:35:12If it was a boat, I would go direct to France.

00:35:15Of course.

00:35:16I should have known.

00:35:28I came to this country to fight Nazis.

00:35:31They won't let me do it here.

00:35:32I will go somewhere where I can fight.

00:35:35How many of you do in France?

00:35:37I still have many friends there.

00:35:39I would get in touch with them.

00:35:40They would help me.

00:35:41It would be better in Spain, though.

00:35:43It would be safer to make the contacts from there.

00:35:45And to go in from there.

00:35:47That is crazy.

00:35:48So is this.

00:35:51It's true.

00:35:52It's very true.

00:35:55But I'm still looking wee.

00:36:02I mean, it's clear that the 있지만.

00:36:09It's keeper of course.

00:36:14It's clear.

00:36:15And things thatìn just looks like there.

00:36:17What if any of them was you're in a place?

00:36:22Patrice.

00:36:24We'll start off with a path.

00:36:25We'll do it an Damon.

00:36:26O'er the flag of the night and day?

00:36:29I'll have a hand for the world,

00:36:32but the world's free have some national strength.

00:36:37I'll have a hand for the world.

00:36:40I'll have a hand for the world,

00:36:41and I'll have a hand for the world.

00:36:44See!

00:36:45High!

00:36:46See!

00:36:47High!

00:36:47See!

00:38:09They will be there.

00:38:18Happy Erpurno?

00:38:19Yes.

00:43:01Just felt like a breath of fresh air, sir.

00:43:06I think we'll give this smart house a couple of days in the pokey.

00:43:23Hallo, Oskar Wehner.

00:43:25Braum, Max Braum.

00:43:28Well, at least it's quieter than the huts.

00:43:32More room and less people.

00:43:35Why are you here?

00:43:38I hit the chaplain.

00:43:40Why?

00:43:41My wife is pregnant.

00:43:43So?

00:43:44I've been here five months.

00:43:46She was not pregnant when I came here.

00:43:50The chaplain was very kind.

00:43:54He sat beside me, listened to me.

00:43:57I write him the letter over and over again.

00:44:00He said everything would be okay if I just had patience and faith.

00:44:05That was when I hit him.

00:44:09You wanna hear the letter?

00:44:10I read you the letter, huh?

00:44:14I have no letter for two months.

00:44:17You know this?

00:44:19This is how it begins.

00:44:22Dear Max, prepare yourself for a surprise.

00:44:26I've had a bit of bad luck.

00:44:29Soon after you went away, I was having a difficult time making ends meet.

00:44:36Fortunately, the butcher seemed to understand.

00:44:52What is it?

00:44:53The sailors over here spoke to me in the canteen.

00:44:58They have to?

00:44:58No.

00:45:00Too many people.

00:45:02What did they say?

00:45:04They say Germany will invade very soon.

00:45:07Four or five days.

00:45:10It's nonsense.

00:45:11No, they have a radio.

00:45:13I'm sure they have a radio.

00:45:15Everyone knows they have a radio.

00:45:17The soldiers searched for it, but they have not found it.

00:45:21Maybe they don't have one.

00:45:22No, not as they do.

00:45:24I doubt it myself.

00:45:25No, they do.

00:45:28It's really scary.

00:45:29They will invade unless they can stop them now.

00:45:33We will be trapped here waiting for them.

00:45:35What will they do when they find me?

00:45:39You will see then how the German straight Jews, they are brutes.

00:45:44They will kill us all.

00:45:45This is nonsense.

00:45:47If Germany does invade, all prisoners will be treated honourably.

00:45:52No.

00:45:53I feel sorry for him.

00:45:55He's a crazy man.

00:45:56I have seen it.

00:45:58In Germany they do not treat Jews the way he says.

00:46:02All these are lies.

00:46:04No.

00:46:05Lies.

00:46:06No!

00:46:07I do not lie!

00:46:09No, I know, I know.

00:46:11Quiet, quiet.

00:46:12Lies.

00:46:18Good morning.

00:46:19Anyone for breakfast?

00:46:22Are you okay?

00:46:24How do I look?

00:46:26Good.

00:46:27That's how I feel.

00:46:27Come.

00:46:28I'm hungry.

00:46:51Come.

00:46:53Hi, that's me.

00:46:54I'd like you to come with me.

00:47:55the ship on which he was traveling to Canada

00:48:20his son is dead

00:48:21you had better go to him

00:49:01How is he?

00:49:09Would you like for the doctor to see him?

00:49:12Or the chaplain?

00:49:16Is my wife known?

00:49:18I believe she has been told.

00:49:21Who by?

00:49:23Well, I'm not sure.

00:49:23I would imagine the police.

00:49:26Jesus, Jesus.

00:49:29You gotta let me see her, please.

00:49:33She won't be able to take this on her own.

00:49:37We, uh...

00:49:38We might be able to arrange something.

00:49:41When?

00:49:42It would take time.

00:49:45How long?

00:49:46I'm not sure.

00:49:48Several weeks, perhaps.

00:49:51It's no good.

00:49:51I gotta be with her now.

00:49:55Believe me, you have my deepest sympathy.

00:49:58But what you ask is not possible.

00:50:00I have no authority to release you.

00:50:02I can only do as I'm told.

00:50:05If it were my choice, I would let you go.

00:50:07Of course I would.

00:50:08But please, don't ask me to do what I cannot.

00:50:23If you still think you can get this out of here,

00:50:27then you'll be...

00:50:28Okay.

00:50:30When?

00:50:32Tonight.

00:50:37Okay.

00:50:39Bruno, we are going now.

00:50:42Must go, okay?

00:50:43Labor oil.

00:50:44Sure, you'll be okay.

00:50:46I will be fine.

00:50:48Be careful.

00:50:49Don't worry.

00:50:51Okay.

00:50:59Okay.

00:51:03.

00:51:04.

00:51:05.

00:51:07.

00:51:08.

00:51:38Quiet as you can.

00:51:55Quiet as you can.

00:52:11It's ok. No, we lie up here at his best.

00:53:06It's ok.

00:53:30It's ok.

00:54:06It's ok.

00:54:30It's ok.

00:54:32How are you?

00:54:33I'm fine.

00:54:35We've done it.

00:54:36You see, I told you we could do it. That's the hardest part over.

00:54:39The rest is easy.

00:54:40I hope so.

00:54:41Good, I hope so.

00:54:42Come, we should start.

00:55:19You be so cute.

00:55:29so

00:56:02I've passed 12.

00:56:05We should still make the town tonight.

00:56:17Don't move.

00:56:21Hasn't he seen us?

00:56:23We'll wait here till he goes.

00:56:25If it's just one that shows that they do not expect us to come this way, they're only checking.

00:56:47I feel like a criminal lying here, but I've only done a thing. I'm innocent.

00:56:51Innocence is no guarantee of anything.

00:57:01We're not going to make the town tonight.

00:57:03No.

00:57:22Good morning.

00:57:43Die Innovation beginnt heute Nacht.

00:57:45Wir haben es im Radio gehört.

00:57:49So.

00:58:25Do you think we should go in the back here?

00:58:28Looks empty.

00:59:28You got any bread left?

00:59:39My knife, it's gone.

00:59:42Are you sure?

00:59:45Must have dropped out when I fell.

00:59:48Can't open the tin without it.

00:59:49It doesn't matter.

00:59:51You get all you want to eat in the town in the morning.

00:59:53And I can latch till then.

00:59:56She could be anywhere.

00:59:57I've had that knife for years.

00:59:59It's helped me out of all sorts of scrapes.

01:00:05Hey, that's not good carry for miles.

01:00:08You can get all you want to eat in the morning.

01:00:10Come on, let's get on.
