only the bad polish roads and the supply

problem can slow our offensive if our

paner columns with no opposition in

front of them are halted in the middle

of Poland because of Supply failure our

Prestige will are you telling me that we

cannot Supply 75 divisions for this

campaign no my Pur I am simply asking

the question I want answers not

questions Merkel he uh I have asked

Colonel shutan of my staff to prepare a

report on the logistical

situation I've gentlemen I have before

me many pages of facts and figures

detailed data

of the problems of supply for our forces

in the Polish campaign but we are on the

eve of War at this late a the Fior wants

Solutions not problems I'm sure that I'm

speaking for my superiors when I say

that if the F orders that we Supply 75

divisions or 100 divisions it will be

done I have taken the liberty of

preparing a dender to the report showing

how this Supply Mission can be

accomplished however if the general

staff wishes to here a detailed

logistical report no

no that won't be necessary

now there will be continued negotiations

with England and France during the

coming week but this will not affect my

plans on the 1st of September we will

attack

fueled and ready to take off I can go

anywhere I could be in England in a few

hours bad

thoughts bad

thoughts for 25

years in 25 years ever since I've been

living this

masquerade living as an exile with roots

going

nowhere clock without a

face I felt at home for the first time

when I sat in the cockpit of that plane

the first time I could forget I was

written off as a traitor by my country

and my family they'd never relieve you

of your post you know that even if you

did escape the war office would probably

consider you a deserter you're still

under orders you know that too yes I

know

it it's not been easy for you Alex and

it will be more difficult for you as

time goes

on but it has been difficult for others

too yes of course you're right I know I

shouldn't complain if I'd spent those

years at home with any luck I might

perhaps be a

major possibly not even

that

now what's really wrong

Alex you know everybody I've seen gets

into this mood in the first year of

their assignment your clocks run down

and 24 years behind no no I'm not sorry

for

myself it's just that I had a big fright

this evening that's all somebody suspect

something what

woman a very beautiful woman I met her

love or anything like that I know the

risks doesn't worry me it worries you

and that worries

assignment I hate to offer advice advice

has saved my life more than once Alex

you're on duty 24 hours a day you've got

to learn to relax with this promotion

you're under a magnifying glass you'll

be conspicuous if you don't run with the

pack that shouldn't be so hard for you

to do from what I hear of the women in

your circle go back to the club running

away from this woman will only be

worth no I've been locked in the barn

for too

long this might lead to more than just a

pleasant

evening I can't take the chance but you

don't have to I shall take the

chance is that an order of

course

[Music]

Chings no

clocks I'd be

delighted how beautiful is I only

acquired it the other day it's a musical

pyot Technic clock it has quite a

history the most interesting thing is

that it was made origin clock is

there

that oh that's quite

interesting it's called a KP cidra it's

probably the earliest type of time piece

that can be called a mechanical clock

this cylinder is filled with water which

drips through this opening regularly

into the tank below causing a float

inside to fall and so work the gears see

like

this

interesting these clocks are very

nice is that all you're interested

in is that all you want out of life well

it's very difficult to know what one

does want out of life

do you know what you want yes for me

successful singer you know you're at the

end of the road you've knowwhere to go

singer your records are heard everywhere

the Troops but my real ambition is to

sing in Paris and

London hurry it up for me will you start

the attack on France soon so I can see

Paris while I'm still

young

contrary you have reminded me of all the

work I have to do if we are to

[Music]

[Applause]

Lear operation seon has been abandoned

abandoned by the order of the fury

himself so F off is not ready to attempt

the invasion of England it's definitely

off supplies are already being shifted

Eastward Russ said it to our the general

staff thinks it's Madness they all right

this is wonderful news Alex this is the

beginning of the end this will bind

Russia to the West for all time I don't

trust the bear as you do I've seen the

brute firsthand let's get this news out

at once I have more news for you I've

been appointed Deputy Chief of Supply

wonderful heav I shall have an important

voice in all Supply operations I can

bring the whole military machine into

chaos supplies will get lost all he

won't get there in time don't be

childish what you will do the best job

of military planning that you humanly

can after 25 years of this work you

ought to be able to remember that you're

not a sabot but the situation has

changed the situation has not changed

not for you the secrets that you get

such as today will be of more value to

the Allied High command than any service

you can perform for the German but it

would be so easy for me out of the quest

if you are dismissed from your post for

some blunder you could be of no service

to your country at

all from now on the gapo will be

watching you more

carefully this Aid of yours this fellow

Rish is undoubtedly a gapa man

himself no doubt of that so far as you

are aware has he any possible basis for

being suspicious of you no why should he

suspect me I'm the perfect

Nazi their report for was of such a

nature ad canaris I thought they should

transmit it directly to you sit down

M well I'm

listening to a begin with sir ever since

I've been with General shotland I've

done some investigations on my own and

I've discovered that shotland is not his

right name he was born Alexander scut

his parents were English and he was

educated at Oxford University your

information is incomplete he was born of

an English father and a German mother he

spent his childhood in South Africa he

attended hadberg as well as Oxford by

1914 he had germanized his name enlisted

in the German Army and distinguished

himself as a gallant and loyal German

officer throughout the war but sure a

man with such a background dual

nationalities are common even among our

national leaders Rudolph H was born born

and raised in Egypt the fura himself is

an Austrian yes sir a man cannot control

the circumstances of his birth but he

can make a choice general shotland made

the right

choice if shotland had been a spy he

would have returned to England after the

armus in 1918 instead he remained German

when Germany was a defeated nation and

it was hard to be a patriotic

German your assignment to General sh and

his routine all high ranking officers

are under surveillance of this sort I

don't want to discourage your vigilance

but it would be well for you to exercise

discretion yes sir I am late for the

staff

meeting General shotland is one of the

rising stars of the third rake and has

already won the fur's favorable

attention I remember that

sir good

gentlemen I'm not satisfied the fur

himself rais shotland to the general

staff Corp apparently he is satisfied

General shotland is a very clever man

and unlike some of his colleagues on the

general staff model National Socialist a

100er that's what bothers me he's too

perfect he's a 101

Center

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

a

what do you think of it I don't know

sir I'm afraid it didn't quite what I'm

looking

[Music]

for

[Music]

n

[Music]

I'm sorry to be late Gentlemen please

don't let me disturb you continue as you

know the enemy's main effort appears to

be in the direction of sow the seventh

Army has been unable to mount a

Counterattack in force Northeast of sow

because of the critical Supply situation

enemy Air Attack has demolished 90% of

our tactical Court Master stores in

areas QV and Y the petral reserves of

Panza Group West have been completely

destroyed even the secret Depot at B and

ver have been wiped out by pinpoint

bombing how could this happen that is

the question before us General Merkel

feels we cannot lay the blame to faulty

camouflage right Merkel yes I personally

inspected all Supply areas in a

low-flying plane if I hadn't known where

the dumps were I couldn't have spotted

them myself General how's theory is that

a well-organized French underground is

the cause of our trouble intelligence

has established that the underground

have been particularly active in those

areas there are many civilian agents

equpped with radio transmitters which is

probable they report the position of our

locations as soon as we set them up yes

I agree there's no other possible

explanation we all agree no sir I do

not any french civilians found in areas

q and V would be shot on site they were

all evacuated 3 months ago furthermore

decoy depos have been set up in that

area how is it then that enemy aircraft

bombed only the actual depos and left

the decoys untouched as general Merkel

says our depos were so carefully

camouflaged that that our own air

spotters had difficulty in finding them

how is it then that the enemy were able

to score direct hits on every single one

of them then what possibility do you

suggest General I suggest the enemy knew

the exact location of those depos I

suggest the possibility of a leak of

information at a very high level just

what do you mean at a very high level I

mean from the general staff itself this

is preposterous I your leave General

traitors often spring up in the most

Preposterous places this is outrageous

what is your evidence General shotland

you are my Deputy I refuse us to permit

you to make such Reckless charges in my

presence without the evidence to back

them up evidence of treason General

Vagner does not come neatly wrapped in

packages I'm suggesting a possibility do

not be evasive whom are you accusing

nobody in particular as yet but we all

know general staff officers who disagree

with the Fus strategy who maintain that

we cannot win the war defeatists who

haven't the courage to bring their views

into the open you've heard their

Whispers we all have I submit gentlemen

that defeatism is the doorway to high

treason put two defeaters together and

you have a conspiracy you call that

evidence in 15 years in my 15 years on

the general staff Corp I've never heard

of such irresponsible and malicious

gossip from a fellow

officer with your

permission General shotland I suggest

that you leave Espionage to group leader

Calon Bruner and his secret service and

address yourself to your own duties in

the supply

service

M kitle with your

permission that is all

[Music]

gentlemen one moment General I know you

want concrete evidence I don't have it I

suppose it was idiotic

idiotic rash perhaps but not

idiotic when you spoke of defe his talk

you were referring to

Merkel

heer anyone

else Colonel Heights yes I know about

him there are others as well and it goes

beyond talk as you suggest there

probably a conspiracy of foot I have

reason to believe there may be a plot

directed against the fury

himself I don't yet have all the links

in the chain but when I do

you probably won't be hearing any more

defe his talk your disloyal colleagues

won't trust you now they keep your res

[Music]

in hel it's Cornus I must see you

[Music]

follow me up I'll leave my door open if

it's

safe d

d run

[Music]

it

I had to take the risk they've arrested

my

Courier I sit down there of

[Music]

course so do not go to the shop until

you hear from

me from now on I shall transmit

information myself is that wise it is

not wise but we have to take some

risk when can you get me the information

about the new Supply dumps in northern

France I shall have the overlays of the

exact location of the depos within a

week and Alex it is very important that

we should know of any change in the

strength or location of German divisions

on the French Coast since your last

report there'll be no changes whatsoever

you're certain yes changes were

contemplated and then

dropped now

we have to plan on the possibility of my

being eliminated from the

sea if anything should happen to me you

will find your new contact in the

personal column of the fish

Baka there will be an item advertising

the sale of a nurmberg egg it is one of

the oldest time pieces small enough to

be considered a watch I am familiar with

the nurburg

Egg of course

I'd forgotten what an expert you

become you will go to the address listed

and you will offer 3,000 marks but it's

not worth nearly as much as that

exactly if the seller refuses your

generous offer and insists on a price of

90 marks you will have found my

replacement I don't like this be careful

it is you who must be careful Alex you

are the Irreplaceable one the war office

may be able to replace you I cannot

such sentimentality for a model Hitler

Jenner well I must be going would you

like a drink no

thanks a nice collection of clocks you

have

here some I haven't seen

before

Goodbye old

friend

sir what did you say I've Hors to

accompany you s Tabo

headquarters naturally sir I don't know

the details I I heard some talk what

sort of

talk that the old antique dealer corn

has been

arrested oh I can only assume sir that

since you patronized his sh the gabo

wants you for some routine questioning

it is considered out of you not to

assume that I myself am Under

Suspicion call the gavo

headquarters tell them we're coming

right

over

tell me now you'll tell me sooner or

later so why not spare yourself the

agony

your friend General shutan is here for

his sake let's get it over

with tell us your contacts I can help

you

[Music]

[Music]

no

he's

dead you should have anticipated

that do you suspect everyone who

patronized that antique shop cornet had

a half a dozen officers of General rank

among his clients General Vagner

Marshall

Goring does that make ging a

spy cornet was found with top secret

documents in his possession which could

only have come from the service of

Supply this material could be available

to at least 10 other generals besides

myself what was the connection between

cornets and the Assassins the Assassin

would you answer my question were you

plotters working for Allied intelligence

the plot against against the

fura so you

know go

on I know nothing about it except that I

had my suspicions indeed will it make it

easier for you to confess if I tell you

that your plot has failed I had a call

from the F's field headquarters less

than an hour ago your bomb exploded

according to schedule several officers

were killed but the fer himself escaped

without Serious injury a f is safe I'm

glad your interest in the F's welfare is

almost convincing you accuse me your

hands are not as clean as mine in this

affair get me c Bruner on the phone I'll

talk to him about this and to no one

else get me group leader Calton Bruner

please on the other

telephone

[Music]

C BR group leader Calton Brer this is

group leader Miller speaking I have with

me yes sir I am listening I have

arrested three of the plotters here gra

Stenberg vanheim have you got that good

you will arrest General Hower and merel

immediately let Heights alone for the

moment but have him followed and see

where he leads us quartermaster General

Vagner was involved but he saved us the

trouble by taking his own life there are

others in the service of Supply who are

implicated yes sir I have just arrested

one of them myself General shotland he's

still denying everything but I think we

can get him to talk before long goodbye

[Music]

sir isue orders for the arrest of

generals haer and Merkel at once

General

shant you are under arrest for

treason and if you think that your rank

will spare you from our more persuasive

methods of interrogation you're quite

mistaken I don't believe that was Calon

Brunner on the phone at all that's

[Music]

enough thank

[Music]

you

this is group leader Miller speaking you

idiot did you say that should arrested

General shotland yes sir shotland is one

of the few men on the staff who is

absolutely in the clear he sensed the

existence of a plot almost as soon as I

did and what is more important told me

about it release him at once apologize

and make it

convincing General shotland you are free

to go there has been some mistake I hope

you will accept my apologies for the

rude treatment to which you've been

subjected you understand that such

methods are often necessary if we were

to track down the real traitors don't

apologize Müller you were only doing

your duty thank you sir everyone must

serve the Fatherland in his own way even

an occasional half

[Music]

wit

thank you

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

Excellence you advertised the Newberg

egg for sale nurenberg egg nurenberg egg

but as an antique very

nice I'm willing to pay up to 3,000

marks for the right

one 3,000 marks it's

yours both 3,000 marks I'm even willing

to put it in working order for

you never mind it's not the one I'm

looking

General this is indeed a surprise there

must be some mistake the advertisement

said 97 marug stasa this is 97 marug

stasa won't you come

in

J I'm sorry I didn't wish to

inconvenience you the newspaper must be

an error I was interested in an antique

that was advertised a nberg

that's

correct the advertisement made no

mention of

price the general should know more about

it than I how much would you offer well

I'm looking for something special for

the right one I'm willing to pay up to

3,000

marks that seems to be a great deal of

money for a watch that doesn't even keep

time but what do you think it's

worth

well it shows you really how little I

know I was willing to sell it for 90

marks oh at that price it's a

bargain but I'm afraid it isn't exactly

what I'm looking

for if you will excuse the intrusion

Captain I would like to sell

it I'm sorry it isn't exactly what you

want so am I good

time it wasn't hiding the smallest

personal feelings for fear of

betrayal I feel released from an

emotional straight jacket you don't know

what this means to me with you I can no

there's nothing you can do if they

haven't there's nothing we have to do

of a way of getting that message through

I have to go to the front tomorrow I'll

have a chance then how I'll pick up a

field transmitter I should be near the

front lines I'll slip away by myself and

transmit the message but there'll be

German monitors around the area they'll

track you down not if I work fast enough

they must must be some other way can you

think of

one no but now we will say goodbye

feelings and if we're lucky we'll see

each other again and there'll be another

[Applause]

[Music]

alive can you remember exactly exactly

what he said when they brought him in

something about a radio transmitter and

a German general shooting him he was

incoherent don't you give him an

injection or something to bring him to

he's in a coma major you'll have to wait

how

long the bullets larged in his spine

could be a day a week or a month if he

lives

when you didn't answer the door I

thought the

stop how I worried about you Alex I've

missed you

so I

failed a patrol surprised me in the

woods when I was sending out the message

did they see what you were

doing well it doesn't matter I killed

them all of them yes are you

sure

yes have they given you any reason yet

for taking you off the air the official

reason is that my singing was too sad

and sentimental for the troops well as

Dr GBL considers himself an Authority on

the entertainment World maybe that is

the

reason no if that were true they'd also

ban my

records

thank I'm afraid they figured out my

code and now are waiting waiting for me

to lead them to other agents that's why

after tonight I know what you're going

to say Lily but it doesn't make sense

we've established ourselves in

everybody's eyes as lovers to suddenly

stop seeing each other now would be too

suspicious you must hide

hi open

it I'm sorry to disturb you at this hour

but the matter is

urgent this is General shutan there's

your papers General Captain it's General

shotland I've seen you many times at

verm headquarters sir thank you may we

speak with you

alone yes of course you will excuse us

[Music]

General

[Music]

you understand we shall check on your

statements if they are inaccurate you

will find that I've told you the truth

were you leaving too

General please stay a while Alex the

gentlemen are through with their

business what did they want ambitious

little Nazi stepped on the toes of a big

Nazi and now he's wanted for

defeatism who is he the Berlin radio

sensor they can't find him they're

checking everyone who knew him I haven't

seen him in months is that all they

asked you about that's

all maybe they're not on my trail at all

I don't think they

are then all we need to worry about is

how to transmit your information I don't

know have a way of getting it

through there's only one thing to do

what's that Corners used to argue

against it but now there's no other

choice I must work out a method of

sabotaging the ardan

offensive we will destroy their armies

and we will drive them into the sea I

wish to congratulate the F this

operation will be an answer and a sharp

lesson to those of little faith I have

just returned from Marshall Von Rad's

head headquarters the Marshall has posed

certain Supply problems he requests that

the forces committed under him be

provided with 10 days supplies uh we

must consider whether such a diversion

of material would not jeopardize us in

the event of a winter offensive by the

enemy on the Eastern Front what does

quar Master General topper have to say

about

that it is true that what is assigned to

F runed cannot be sent to the Eastern

front but fuel is crucial both in the

west and in the East doesn't anyone have

a definite

idea my

feo the Arden offensive is based on

quick penetration if the Marshall is

stalled for lack of supplies it will

fail Marshall V runed ask for 10 days

supplies his estimate cannot be

questioned any Commander's estimate can

be questioned they always ask for more

than they

need we'll be able to use cap enemy

stores as we

advance brilliant the fura has provided

the solution with the Enemy Supply dumps

falling into our hands this campaign can

be operated with three-day supplies

instead of 10 the Americans have vast

fuel depos in the Baston area that we

know given a quick penetration we can

capture those depos intact General sh it

is impossible I know there will be

objections from textbook strategists and

from those who cannot find the word

audacity in their Dusty manuals I do

believe they will be

wrong does anyone here have an

objection

[Music]

it is now confirmed that the forces

under General Montgomery have broken V

Ed's drive to the Sea they have taken

the initiative and will soon be entering

the heart of Germany Von Rad's inability

to hold his newly W positions in the

Arden comes as something of a

surprise in the South General Patton's

thirdd Army is attacking Von Rad's flank

and is quickly moving towards the seek

freed line and Hitler's stronghold at

Bea's

Garden onstead has run out of fuel the

Battle of the Bulge is

over

[Music]

[Applause]

w

[Music]

I got a letter from my son at the front

his group thanks you for the picture you

sent them thank you we were used to

listen to you on the radio we enjoyed

your singing very much

so your public have not forgotten you no

not completely I still get mail telling

me how much they've enjoyed my singing

and how much they miss me but a few days

ago I received the most udent letter

from no less than a general

General he particularly enjoyed the

extra little something I added to my

song that may be our answer the soldiers

want to hear you sing you have an

obligation as a patriotic German citizen

to respond to their demands yes of

course what do you mean smile we may be

watched unless the Allies get definite

information that Hitler will find fed

out in

Berlin they will head for be this Garden

I still don't understand now we should

volunteer to entertain on the Western

Front to sing to the Frontline troops

I'll go with

you the information will be delivered to

the Allies personally with my rank to

get us well forward there should be no

difficulty in getting across the Allied

line but getting back it will be more

difficult want

it my come back the war is almost

over where shall we be when the war ends

Alex London or

we I'm goinging with you to help you

cross our

lines I'm still under

orders when Hitler's faithfuls begin to

crack under the pressure I should be

there to help the process

alone and enjoy

it if I had any choice I should like to

remain with you there is no

choice you were assigned to me not for

my

consolation but to transmit

[Applause]

information deep in my heart I love

you

German general no sir only those under

the generals on the Eastern Front

gave me more time to

think to try to find an

answer

to

what you'll die

here your death will appear suicide the

wayer general of the third re would

choose to Die With Honor to the uniform

you wear not as a traitor whose hands

are covered with blood of men who

trusted

military

honors your coffin draped with a

flag and no one will ever know the

truth

truth what made you start thinking what

made you have doubts did you suddenly

have a human moment and did it surprise

you after living all these years without

a conscience R you talk about

as

Allegiance even as I suspected

a

lie I'm sorry for you Rish and the

always hope you sound like him in there

the enemy is crushing our defenses on

all sides the Soviets at the gates of

Berlin and you think there's hope

General Van's third Army is still intact

until that is gone there is still hope

we've um we've been discussing other

measures

shortland are you familiar with the ver

High command directive on preserving the

officer

core we have to consider whether the

time has come to apply

it if Germany is to be reconstructed the

offic of core must remain

intact it must be brought to the

attention of the

furer and it must be presented by

someone who enjoys his respect and

confidence you think I'm such a person

is that what you're saying yes

shortland

answer but venk is holding back I asked
