- No. There are no parents.

housing and living space,</i>

81
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,552

Don't argue. Don't argue.

94
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,158
I must remind you that we are under
emergency regulations,

half a pound of margarine,

<i>Great Britain will need 1'5 to

Carbon 14 is one of the elements
most dangerous of radioactive fallout.

No, I'm sorry, I didn't hear
talk about it.

No, I don't know.

No... I have no idea. I...

133

No, that's why they've happened before.

which explains how to prepare your homes against
the explosion and radioactive rain.

154
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,351
We didn't see
before this leaflet?

155
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,069
Well, a copy was prepared
a few years but... it didn't sell very well.

156
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,391
- It wasn't... wasn't it free?
- Oh, no, no. It cost 9 penises.

157
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,551
<i>This siren system
is being tested.</i>

158
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,677
<i>The test will end within
of a quarter of an hour.</i>

159
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,673
<i>It was estimated that, in the

160
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,435
<i>confirmed by the System
National Sirens</i>

161
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:19,035
<i>there would be before the impact
a time of warning</i>

162
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,954
<i>between approximately
2'5 to 3 minutes.</i>

163
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:27,155
<i>And if the attacking missiles
were launched from submarines</i>

164
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,993
<i>located on the edge
of Great Britain,</i>

165
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,152
<i>the warning time would be
less than 30 seconds.</i>

166
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:34,992
Move, come.

167
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,072
Civil Defense said that
We have to... get...

fortify us within.

170
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,597
They didn't tell us where to get it.

171
00:09:45,680 --> 00:09:49,514
I have already been to three places and
If... there's nothing left.

172
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:50,589
And the prices...

173
00:09:50,680 --> 00:09:53,035
My prices right now
are as follows:

174
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,157
burlap fabric for bags
of sand, ten for a pound;

175
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,277
sand to fill them,
24 shillings per cubic yard;

176
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,670
land, seven pounds with ten
for every five cubic yards;

177
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,718
board, from eight penises to
a shilling a foot.

178
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:10,430
How much money will you have to...
spend to build a refuge?

179
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,988
Well...

180
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:18,108
Well, I can't allow myself more than...
17 with 6 to a pound at most.

181
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:19,474
<i>For this amount of money,</i>

182
00:10:19,560 --> 00:10:23,394
<i>she can purchase eight bags
of sand and six boards.</i>

183
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,391
my friend is a contractor

184
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,199
and provided me with some props.

185
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,750
I have this out here,
that could be of some use.

186
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,195
And inside I have...

187
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,317
build a... refuge, as they say.

188
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,277
I believe it is quite strong,

189
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,396
holds up quite well.

190
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:46,270
And I had a few bags left over, like this
who... built another one in the garden.

191
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,432
<i>It seems like thousands of
families of Great Britain</i>

192
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:53,399
<i>would be unable to afford
including an essential refuge</i>

193
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,950
<i>and a government refuge program
for everyone in the country</i>

194
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:01,352
<i>it would cost approximately two
millions of pounds.</i>

195
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,639
And I keep this... here.

196
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,750
And I'm sure I'll use it

197
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,308
if someone tries to enter the refuge.

198
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:16,713
An American religious publication
told his Christian readers

199
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,395
to think twice before giving

The local area commander

authorized the delivery
of tactical nuclear weapons

216

It was vaguely, if at all, yes.

232

Yes, and I believe it is a disgrace.

No, I didn't know anything about that.

<i>Now two square miles of fire,</i>

305
00:18:24,360 --> 00:18:26,590
<i>resulting from the heat of
a thermonuclear missile,</i>

306
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:31,037
<i>that exploded out of its trajectory
on your way to London airport.</i>

307
00:18:31,120 --> 00:18:33,395
around!

308
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:37,029
<This is the phenomenon that could
take place in Great Britain</i>

309
00:18:37,120 --> 00:18:39,918
<i>after a nuclear attack against
some of our cities.</i>

310
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,400
<This occurred after the
bombing of Hamburg</i>

311
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,916
<i>from Dresden, from Tokyo
and Hiroshima.</i>

312
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:51,391
<This is what is known technically
What is a firestorm.</i>

313
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:06,037
<i>At its center, the rising heat
of multiple fires,</i>

314
00:19:06,120 --> 00:19:08,236
<i>caused both by
heat flare</i>

315
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,596
<i>and the expansive wave that
affects boilers and stoves,</i>

316
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,716
<i>with winds at ground level</i>

317
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:18,555
<i>with speeds exceeding
at 100 miles per hour.</i>

318
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,029
<This is the wind of a
fire storm.</i>

319
00:19:38,360 --> 00:19:39,839
I saw...

320
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:41,751
to a man...

321
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:43,512
caught...

322
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,556
by a huge gust of wind

323
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,672
who took off his jacket...
above your head.

324
00:20:04,064 --> 00:20:06,669
<i>During a recent meeting
of the Vatican Ecumenical Council,</i>

325
00:20:07,187 --> 00:20:09,356
<i>a bishop told the press
that I was sure that</i>

326
00:20:10,052 --> 00:20:13,262
<i>"our nuclear weapons
will be used wisely."</i>

327
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:22,150
I believe we live in a system
necessary law and order.

328
00:20:23,097 --> 00:20:24,551
<i>Supported by the statements
engraved from an Anglican bishop.</i>

329
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:29,356
And I still believe in
war of the righteous.

330
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,757
<i>inside this car, a
family is burning alive.</i>

331
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,873
Get out of the car!

332
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,997
<i>Charles Brooks,
Chatham fire chief.</i>

333
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,674
<i>Three of his instruments

334
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:50,796

335

<i>17 of its 60 firefighters were
already crushed, burned or killed</i>

336
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:57,918

337
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,148
<This is a firestorm.</i>

338
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:06,195
<i>In its center,</i>

339
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:10,876
<i>oxygen is depleted in each portion
and in each room at ground level,</i>

340
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:15,750
<i>to be replaced by monoxide gases
of carbon, carbon dioxide and methane.</i>

341
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:21,753
<i>At its center, the temperature increases
up to 800 degrees centigrade.</i>

342
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,354
<i>These men are dying</i>

343
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,034
<i>due to heart failure and gas.</i>

344
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:37,279
In the next world war, I believe
that both sides could stop

345
00:21:37,360 --> 00:21:39,476
before the total destruction of cities

346
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,357
so that both sides could withdraw

347
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:45,433
for a period of about ten years
of recovery after the attack,

348
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,910
during which they could prepare for
the fourth or eighth world wars

349
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,349
<i>When the dioxide content
of carbon from inhaled air</i>

<i>exceeds more than 30 percent,</i>

351

<i>When the carbon monoxide content
of inhaled air exceeds by 1.28 percent,</i>

357
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,073
<i>will be followed by death</i>

358
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,993
<i>in three minutes.</i>

359
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,435
<This is nuclear war.</i>

360

<i>In the current version of
Civil Defense pamphlet,</i>

361
00:22:42,989 --> 00:22:45,571

<i>"... And a box containing certificates
of birth and marriage,</i>

364
00:22:53,871 --> 00:22:58,002
<i>savings accounts and

<i>10:47.</i>

366

<i>V Bomber Force Airfield,

367
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,193
<i>Its purpose: Reprisal.</i>

368
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,955
<i>Your goal: people like this.</i>

369
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:19,195
If the Russians or some others attacked
Britain with nuclear weapons

370
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:20,679
They would want us to take reprisals

371
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:24,309
destroying the same number
from Russian cities?

372
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,516
Yes. Yes, I would. Yes.

373
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:30,309
It's a vicious circle. But
I suppose we should get revenge.

374
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:34,916
We believe that the British
we are something... forgotten and

375
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,195
I believe we should
carry out reprisals

376
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:57,870
I wouldn't want... for us to stay
stopped and did nothing

377
00:23:57,960 --> 00:23:59,313
but...

378
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,992
Yes, I believe... that possibly, uhm,
Possibly yes I would.

379
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,036
Oh, yes, of course yes, definitely.

380
00:24:07,120 --> 00:24:08,838
Yes, I suppose you would.

381
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,873
Technically and intellectually,

382
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,111
We live in an atomic age.

383
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:29,876
Emotionally we still live
in the Stone Age.

384
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:35,353
The Aztecs, in their celebrations,
sacrificed 20,000 men to their gods

385
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:39,592
by the belief that this would
let the universe take its course.

386
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,240
We feel
Superior to them.

387
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:49,029
<These are the inhabitants
than it once was</i>

<i>After the explosion from behind

<i>within this county boundary,</i>

391
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,716
<i>It was estimated that each
survivor doctor</i>

392
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:07,510
<i>would have to treat
at least 350 casualties,</i>

393
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:11,912
<i>many of them with serious burns
second and third degree.</i>

394
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,275
I had a boy with me.

395
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,035
His legs were toast.

396
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:27,873
Some...

397
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:31,592
Some of...

398
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,916
Some of these people
they are coming down.

399
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:40,793
<i>From what is known, the Defense
Civil currently planned</i>

400
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:44,429
<i>that each doctor, working in a
advanced medical aid unit,</i>

401
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:49,389
<i>put each drop into one of the
three carefully defined categories</i>

402
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:55,032
<i>to determine whether each casualty is worth it
receive hospital treatment</i>

403
00:25:55,120 --> 00:25:57,395
The third category is the worst.

404
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,550
For them...

405
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,552
...there is no hope.

406
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,200
As soon as we put them in what
we call the resistance section.

407
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:09,558
<i>These are people with... 50 percent
or more from burns</i>

408
00:26:10,120 --> 00:26:14,432
<i>He knows that each patient who
Step into the resistance section</i>

409
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:17,956
<i>let him die
of pain without remedies</i>

410
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,831
I know what's going on inside
of a few days.

411
00:26:25,120 --> 00:26:27,076
You will ask me...

412
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,915
They will ask me to kill them.

413
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:35,431
<i>What you see now is another part
possible nuclear war.</i>

414

<i>An armed police squad

<i>alleviating suffering

416
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:05,757
If I decide to take it, and possibly
kill another man,

417
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:10,311
So I must be prepared to
accept moral responsibility.

418
00:27:11,120 --> 00:27:14,351
If you give the Government the
right or means

419
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,396
at my disposal

420
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,790
to kill people from another country,

421
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,235
so the situation is no different.

422
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:26,791
I must accept again
moral responsibility.

423
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,318
<i>It was estimated that an attack

<i>using approximately 160
one-megaton missiles,</i>

<i>between a third and half

<i>of all your production resources
and grocery storage</i>

429

<i>Such an attack, using
one megaton weapons,</i>

432

15 or 20 times the
Civil Defense number

438

for exactly the same
number of people.

440

What's wrong is the name.

441
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:32,553

a Civil Defense worker...

458
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,315
any... like this...

459
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,869
It's just... a normal human being,

460
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:47,193
With... normal human reactions
And... emotions.

461
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:53,279
<i>This police officer passed
all rescue time</i>

462
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,715
<i>looking for his missing family.</i>

463
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,508
No one is allowed here.

464
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,030
Come. Get out.

465
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,988
<i>Even lightly
affected county of Kent,</i>

466
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:12,638
<i>there would be immediately</i>

467
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:16,349
<i>an estimated figure of 50,000
corpses to get rid of</i>

468
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:21,076
Do you want to tell us... do you want to tell us
What's going on inside?

469
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:22,912
No one is allowed
photographer inside.

470
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,560
Yes, yes, I know,
but one moment...

471
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:29,235
Do you want to tell us what are
Doing it inside, please?

472
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,153
They are only burning the bodies.

473
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,835
The buildings are full of them.
There are many to bury.

474
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,795
The buildings are...

475
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,354
The buildings are so
full that we can only

476
00:30:43,355 --> 00:30:45,829
Put them on raised steel beams


477
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,229
and light a fire underneath.

478
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,276
It's like making a barbecue.

479
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:55,832
<i>Two days after the attack,</i>

480
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:59,754
<i>the military authorities, to detain
a possible spread of diseases,</i>

481
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:04,675
<i>seal two square miles of the zone
damaged from what had been Rochester</i>

482
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:05,875
<i>and arm the surviving police officers,</i>

483
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:09,430
<i>determined to avoid
by force if necessary</i>

484
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:13,513
<i>to relatives of the dead
before the cremation process.</i>

485
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,677
We were doing the, uhm, task

486
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,069
to burn the... bodies

487
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:25,278
when two of the soldiers said
that they wouldn't do any more.

488
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,716
One of their officers appeared and 
told them to get on with their work

489
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,109
and they said again no

490
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,270
so he killed them right there.

491
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,074
<i>Everything you see now</i>

492
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:41,711
<i>occurred in Germany after the
heavy bombing of the last war.</i>

493
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,917
<i>It is almost certain that this would happen
in Great Britain</i>

494
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,560
<i>after a nuclear war.</i>

495
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:52,674
Another thing that the
Germans after the bombing of Dresden

496
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:57,880
He went to take... the rings off the bodies.

497
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:04,877
They tried to identify them by
inscription from inside the ring.

498
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,838
We are doing it too.

499
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,869
We are storing the rings in this cube.

500
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:20,991
<This is a possible part
of nuclear war.</i>

501
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,356
<i>During the following 48 hours,</i>

502
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:30,513
<i>it is estimated that one third of all
surface of Great Britain</i>

503
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,194
<i>would be covered by a dose of radiation</i>

504
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:37,990
<i>greater than ten times the amount needed
to kill a man in the open.</i>

505
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:40,832
<i>To many of
within this zone</i>

506
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:44,754
<i>who had remained
in the refuge of their homes,</i>

507
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:48,230
<i>death would come to them
in five weeks.</i>

508
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:52,836
I know... I know a thing or two about...
read... leukemia and... such.

509
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:59,670
I didn't talk to my wife on purpose
about this in the last days.

510
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:01,830
But, you know, I'm...

511
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,275
I'm... so scared.

512
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:09,191
I just want my...
My boys grow up, that's all.

513
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,872
I don't know if I'm going to stay
something, the...

514
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,599
if... if you can't change anything.

515
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:22,390
 �... well... I suppose
that I'm being... selfish.

516
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,070
I just want my
boys be safe

517
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,436
and that... and that they don't have this...
poison running through your bones.

518
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:48,950
The main exposure effect
to severe radiation

519
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:55,639
is that it stops renewing the
cellular lining of your intestine,

520
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:59,793
with the result that the fluids
bodies come out directly

521
00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:03,270
from the inside of your intestine

522
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:06,636
and literally... dry yourself.

523
00:34:07,885 --> 00:34:10,252
<i>"Oh, where does it come from.
Soldier, serious soldier.</i>

524
00:34:13,632 --> 00:34:16,530
<i>With weapons further forward
from the reach of my mind.</i>

525
00:34:18,772 --> 00:34:21,538
<i>With weapons so deadly
that must make the world grow old.</i>

526
00:34:21,572 --> 00:34:21,573
<i>And die in its course,
if you don't behave well.</i>

527
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:58,473
This is a food menu

528
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,711
prepared by the well-being section
of the Civil Defense Corps

529
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:07,079
during an exercise that is assumed to
will take place after a thermonuclear attack.

530
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,628
"Braised fillet, carrots,
cabbages,

531
00:35:09,720 --> 00:35:11,472
roasted and mashed potatoes,

532
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:15,030
steamed pudding, cake
apple and porridge. "

533
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,670
after a nuclear attack
to the United States,

534
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,558
Would the Americans live
as you are used to,

535
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:29,952
with their cars, ranches,
television, freezers and so on?

536
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:31,871
No one can say so.

537
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:37,114
We have a bathtub full of water
which hasn't been changed in five days.

538
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,794
That's all the water we have.

539
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,235
We have to drink it

540
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,629
and cook with it

541
00:35:44,720 --> 00:35:46,233
and wash with it.

542
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,438
<i>In Hiroshima and Nagasaki,</i>

543
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:52,317
<i>the population, three months later</i>

544
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:57,349
<i>he was apathetic and
deeply lethargic,</i>

545
00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:59,476
<i>people who were used to living
among your own crap,</i>

546
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,074
<i>with total discouragement and inertia.</i>

547
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:18,279
<i>This baby was bitten in
an arm for a mouse.</i>

548
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,193
<i>There are no more medicines left</i>

549
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:24,989
<i>to protect against illnesses
which is sure to arrive.</i>

550
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:29,236
I took it home today
a piece of bread

551
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:30,548
from my mother,

552
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,473
who had given me this,

553
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:37,155
when a subject appears and
offer me a pound for it.

554
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,236
Well, what could I say?

555
00:36:42,240 --> 00:36:44,196
You can't eat one
one pound note.

556
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,837
<i>In view of the growing disturbances
due to hunger, it is very possible</i>

557
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:56,835
<i>that dwindling food supplies
would ultimately save as a form of bonus</i>

558
00:36:56,920 --> 00:37:01,391
<i>for those who do precarious work
maintenance of law and order.</i>

559
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,038
<i>The result of this
partial provisioning</i>

560
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:05,475
<i>it would itself
almost inevitable.</i>

561
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:12,873
Stay away!

562
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:19,395
<i>On this day, the first mutineer for
food is murdered by the Kent police.</i>

563
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:27,909
Tell them to come back.

564
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:35,159
<i>Two days later</i>

565
00:37:35,240 --> 00:37:37,071
<i>as a direct result
of this incident,</i>

566
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:40,948
<i>an ammunition van
of the police is captured</i>

567
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:43,634
<i>and its drivers
volunteers murdered.</i>

568
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,150
Hang!

569
00:37:52,720 --> 00:37:54,517
Get him!

570
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:09,551
In Germany, during the
Last war, it was seen that,

571
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,996
among people who had suffered
personal losses or deprivations,

572
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:16,356
including between the call
decent middle class,

573
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:20,513
there was a tendency to develop
indifference to the law

574
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:23,558
and to indulge in plunder,
black market and domestic robberies

575
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,630
<This is a Control Center
of Government Supplies,</i>

576
00:38:28,720 --> 00:38:33,111
<i>taken and plundered by
anti-social armed elements.</i>

577
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:36,909
<This is Mrs. Joyce Fisher of Gravesend.</i>

578
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:38,831
<i>She was a housewife.</i>

579
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:40,797
<i>three yards from her,</i>

580
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:43,235
<i>the bodies of the military guards.</i>

581
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:50,957
When morale drops, so do
ideals and disappear,

582
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:55,079
and the behavior becomes more
primitive, dominated by instinct.

583
00:38:56,160 --> 00:39:00,631
<i>Three days later, the first
police officers in Kent are murdered.</i>

584
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:11,069
<i>In the next 15 years,</i>

585
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:16,553
<i>It is possible that another 12 countries
will have acquired thermonuclear weapons.</i>

586
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:17,959
<i>For this reason,</i>

587
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:22,795
<i>If not by accident or by
impulse of the same man...</i>

588
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:25,394
<i>... now it's more than possible</i>

589
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:28,233
<i>that what they saw
occur in this film</i>

590

Hallowed be his name.

601
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:08,352
Come to us Your kingdom.

602
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:10,476
So on earth,

603

And forgive us our sins,

606
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:21,711
just as we forgive
to our debtors.

607
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:24,870
And do not lead us into temptation,

608
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:26,916
but deliver us from evil.

609
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:29,353
Am�m.

610
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:39,278
Father, have mercy on their souls,

611
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:41,794

617

bleeding gums
will appear in four months

618

initial state of scurvy,

619
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:13,270
with swelling of the ankles

620
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:16,113

From the sight of this horror
And... destruction...

638
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:39,635
It is likely that, as a consequence,

639
00:42:39,720 --> 00:42:46,239
any of them may... suffer...
terrible character disorders.

641
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:58,159
Yesterday I saw one of the boys in the room.

642
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:02,153
He was bouncing around,

643
00:43:02,240 --> 00:43:05,152
playing hopscotch, I think,

644
00:43:05,240 --> 00:43:07,913
and suddenly he sat down...

645
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:11,554
as if he was very tired...

646
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:16,276
and his face became haggard...

647
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:20,518
like that of an old man.

648
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:25,509
<i>These boys are
Orphans of the attack.</i>

649

<i>Everyone was asked
what I wanted to be in life.</i>

650
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:32,509
I don't want to be anything.

651
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:34,431
Neither do I.

652
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:36,590
I don't want to be anything.

653
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:39,513
I don't want to be anything either.
