-�Fritz is over there.
-�They sing beautifully.

Wait, Grandma.

Fritz? Why are you not
with the others?

Leave me alone.

What is it, Fritz?
What happened?

The�...

The troop leader said,

I stole Heiner's dagger.

But it wasn't me.

Mama? Where are you?

Papa wrote.

Come in.

You're already here?

You hurried home today.

A letter from dad.

This is Senior Assault Unit
Leader Zagel, my new boss.

I'll be working for him from now on.

Well? Are you just going to stand
there and gawk? Snap to!

Give the Unit Leader a hand.

Go on.

-�Heil Hitler, Mr. Unit Leader.
-�Heil Hitler.

You're a pretty girl. You'll grow
up as beautiful as your mother.

We have to wait a while, right?

But then, if she's already here�...

-�I might as well talk to her right now.
-�Yes, I'll wait for you.

Come with me.

Now, Gudrun.

Come sit down, I have
something to tell you.

Your father has been fighting for almost a
year on the eastern front for our F�hrer.

You're a young girl.

And me?

I'm at home all the time
with nothing to do.

You're only here in your spare time.

That's why I'll be working from now on.

And my new boss is the Senior
Assault Unit Leader Zagel.

-�But mom�...
-�Just a minute! I'm not finished yet.

Because I don't have enough
time to look after you,

I thought about it,

and decided to send you to your
grandmother in Neukirchen.

I was at your school today
and I talked to the teachers.

They said your grades are so good,

you can advance to high
school in Neukirchen.

There'll be no problem.

I signed you out. The holidays
will begin in three days�...

Aren't you happy, that you'll
be seeing your grandmother?

Your bags are packed.

Gudrun, don't cry like that now.

Everyone has to make sacrifices for
our F�hrer. Your father, you and I too.

I'll visit you as often as
I can. I promise you that.

That's from papa.

So�...

It'll take no time at all for
your grandmother to spoil you.

You've always been happy there.

Come on now. Don't be like that.

You love your grandma, don't you?

Please stop crying, Gudrun.

-�Should I read it to you?
-�Yes.

Oh, the letter is from June 2nd.

It's taken almost three
weeks to get here.

"My dear,

it finally stopped raining. There's
a beautiful rainbow in the sky.

Lull in the fighting.

I'm sitting under a tree
listening to the birds sing.

The warmth of the sun makes me happy.

I hope with all my heart
that you're alive and well.

You are in my thoughts, day and night."

My God, it's you.
I must say.

-�Grandma, I'll be staying with you now.
-�Why didn't you write?

-�Mom's working again.
-�Now I'm confused.

-�That's my boss, Senior Assault Unit Leader Zagel.
-�Heil Hitler.

-�I'll be right back.
-�I don't have a hand free right now.

Since when do you drink beer during the day?

-�Can I talk to you?
-�Are you in a hurry?

-�I work at the headquarters on Weidenkeller Road.
-�The brown house?

-�Don't say that.
-�That's what they call it.

Come on, look for Mini.
She's got to be in the garden house.

You have something with that man out there?

No, I have nothing with him.

-�I know you.
-�But I have nothing with him. Really!

You can't fool me.

I swear on all that's holy,
I have nothing with him.

Don't be taking any oaths.

Mama, can Gudrun stay with you while I work?

It won't be forever.

Yes, she can.

So, what about her schooling?

It's summer vacation now, after that
she can go to the school in Neukirchen.

You needn't worry about it.

Does your husband know that
you work at the Brown House?

Mama, are you leaving?

Gudrun, what are you doing?

-�I'm writing Mama.
-�When you're done, feed the rabbits.

-�I wrote that it's beautiful.
-�Mama will be happy.

That she should come, I also wrote.

Saturday and Sunday she may
have other things to do.

Do you want to say hi to her?

No, later. My hands are dirty now.

I'll help you.

I don't think so, you don't know
which ones are the weeds.

You'll pull up all my radishes.

You should feed the rabbits, like I said.

And then go play. That's better.

-�Have you seen Mini?
-�Who knows where she's wandered off to?

Mini.

I'm back.

Are you back?

-�Are you back in the Hitler Youth?
-�I read.

Are you crazy?

Mini has disappeared.

I'm staying a while with my grandma.

Not just over the weekend.

All vacation.

Even longer, if you don't
have a problem with it.

-�So, Mr. Local Group Leader.
-�Thank you.

-�On the house!

You can't drink that fast,
it'll run out!

-�Here, Mr. Medical Council.
-�Thank you, Mrs. W�lffel.

You'd better drink it right on the toilet.
It's recommended to rinse out your kidneys.

-�Want another one?
-�Don't mind if I do.

-�Erich, when do you have to drive in again?
-�The day after tomorrow in the morning.

-�Do the children recognize you?
-�I barely recognize myself.

R�diger is half a head taller, Erika
is at the League of German Girls.

Their granddaughter's visiting.
You didn't tell us.

Why isn't she in bed?

Where's her mother?

-�Working.
-�Well, that must be some job.

My daughter works as a typist.

-�At the Party Headquarters.
-�Oh. That's another story.

I can't sleep.

Then you have to think
about clouds and swallows.

Count the clouds and the swallows,
and you'll fall asleep.

Think of something beautiful and sleep well.

Even if the people downstairs are
laughing, you will be far away.

Turn off the light!

It's not that dark outside,
because the moon is so bright.

Oh, Gudrun. Did you say, is
Leni in the Hitler Youth?

Yes, why?

Because you have to be
careful who you talk to.

With Leni I'd just talk
about the weather, okay?

We never talk about the weather.

You shouldn't tell her what
we say to each other at home.

She tells her grandfather.

- Her grandfather?
- The Local Group Leader.

That's the man with the big mouth.

I won't say a thing.

That's how it is now! You can't
say what you really think anymore.

-�Good night.
-�Oh, grandma?

Do you think Mama's coming on Sunday?

If she gets your letter, maybe.
But go to sleep now.

That's enough. Get back in line.

Take off your masks.

Everybody change their filter.

What should you never do
while the filter's detached?

-�Tell us, Gudrun.
-�I don't know.

Don't they tell you that in Nuremberg?

-�Maybe I forgot.
-�You shouldn't forget things like that.

-�Tell her, Leni.
-�You shouldn't breathe.

Why not, Gudrun? You must know that.

Leni.

Because you'll inhale the
poison gas that's in the air.

Exactly.

Got it, Gudrun?

If poison gas is in the air
and you breathe, you're dead.

Should I write a telegram and
have it sent to your dad?

Give him a little joy.

He doesn't get much of that in Russia.

Mail!

You're doing well.
Listening to the radio during the day.

What else should we do?

-�Mail for the miss.
-�Thank you.

- Would you like a beer?
- Whenever I can get one.

The Weidingers got a death notification.

For God's sake!

He was her only son.
She'll never get over it.

How many have died so far?

Four. Heinz Winters, the Weisenkirch
boy, Karli Lehmeyers,

and now Fritz Weidingers.

Have you noticed? No one talks
about the Blitzkrieg anymore.

It won't be long before another
head is on my stamps.

Dear Gudrun, unfortunately
I can't come visit on Sunday.

Duty calls.

Next Sunday I'll be working.

Be good to your grandma.
Love, Mama.

-�I knew you were here.
-�I'm going.

You don't have to.

Just don't forget the key
when you go out for a walk.

I won't forget it.

-�You come down with something?
-�No.

-�You look so sad.
-�I'm not sad.

But you don't laugh either.

-�You still haven't told me if you're back in.
-�No.

But you didn't steal the dagger.

Nobody believes that except me.

Due to anti-social behavior

Fritz Ott is hereby banned from
the Florian Geyer troop.

But I'm back in the Hitler Youth.
You can bet your life on that.

Do you know this one?

"Hitler Youth Quex". No.

-�I read it five times.
-�Five times?

Now I'm reading it for the sixth
time. I want to be just like him.

-�What does he do?
-�He dies for the others.

The Bolshevists kill him. Very cowardly.

My dad is just like his.

But he sees at the end,
that the F�hrer is right.

Maybe my father will see it too.

He just has to tell the right
people that it wasn't me.

-�But he won't do it.
-�Why?

Because my father doesn't want me in the
Hitler Youth. He is against the F�hrer.

Gudrun!

-�Gudrun!
-�What is it, Mrs. W�lffel?

-�Gudrun is with me!
-�I need her to do some shopping.

-�Give me your bag.
-�It's not heavy.

-�Heavy enough. What are you doing on your vacation?
-�I don't know.

I don't either. I can't count on Evacuation.

-�Heil Hitler, Mr. Local Group Leader.
-�Heil Hitler.

Gudrun, tell your grandmother
I'm coming tonight.

Why did the Local Group Leader
give you that look?

-�My father is his sworn enemy.
-�But your father's a pastor.

Here, your bag.

My Mama!

-�Heil Hitler.
-�Tell your mother to hurry up.

Heil Hitler.

Hey.

Don't worry, we have money.

You just have a guilty conscience.

Instead of visiting your child,
you don't bother coming at all.

I should tell her you were here.

Take the food stamps.
Gudrun is old enough.

You are and always will be a buckle (whore).

-�Don't say that again!
-�What, that you're a buckle?

How many times do I have to say there's
nothing between us? He's my boss!

Don't tell me that. You've
never had to be forced.

You're a powerful man's bitch!

You had nothing in your head,
before you met Albert�...

I feel sorry for Albert. You
think only of your own pleasure.

I have nothing to be ashamed of.

-�Then shame on you.
-�You're worse than a whore!

-�Shut up!
-�Is that how you talk to your mother?

-�So much for three minutes.
-�Please, just drive!

Dear Jesus.

Please make it so my father
does something about the dagger.

I didn't steal it.

My dad knows that, and so do you.

And another thing�...

Make my dad believe what the F�hrer says.

Otherwise I'll have nowhere to be.

I won't get back into the Hitler Youth.

You're not getting any more sugar.

Have you seen my granddaughter?

She was here with Fritz this
morning. I gave her sugar.

That's alright.

-�Don't you have to go home?
-�No.

When it's dark. I'm just
not talking to my dad.

-�Did Gudrun leave with you?
-�No.

You were in town together, right?

-�Yeah, then she went home.
-�She's not there.

But she's in the house.

Gudrun!

Gudrun!

Mrs. W�lffel!

Gudrun really is in the house.

I carried her bag to the front door.

She's not there.

There you are. I've already
called you three times.

Didn't you hear me?

-�Mom was here.
-�No, she wasn't.

-�Don't lie.
-�I'm not lying!

You scared me.

Never hide so long again, and
don't let me run around like that.

Anything could've happened!

Grandma, what is a buckle?

It's what one uses to fasten a belt.

-�Will you tell me anything grandma?
-�Yes, just ask.

-�Does Mama have another husband now?
-�Where did you put your bike?

-�In front of the house. Didn't you see it?
-�No.

-�Tell me now.
-�I didn't see it.

That's not what I asked.

If Mama has another husband,
you should tell me.

The two of us have to stick together.

I'm afraid you might fall off
if you ride grandpa's bike.

Take mine.

No, I like driving grandpa's.

-�Can you still remember grandpa?
-�Yes, I can.

Fortunate, that he died so young.

He wouldn't have survived
the war with his weak heart.

Alright, I'll get it.

-�Thank you.
-�Thank you.

Why aren't you in bed?

Hurry, to bed! Quickly!

Yes, is it going to be soon?

Spread out both your wings
O Jesus, my joy,

and embrace your chick.

If Satan wants to devour me,
Let the angels sing:

Let this child not be harmed.
Amen.

Why are the Local Group Leader
and your father sworn enemies?

Because my father won't confirm
boys in Hitler Youth uniforms.

Singers.

-�Hello, Gudrun.
-�Hello, Maria.

You shouldn't talk to foreigners.

That's our Maria.

The Local Group Leader assigned
her to my grandmother.

-�She comes on Saturdays and Sundays.
-�Nevertheless.

We're at the Canyon now.

Blackfoot Indians lurk on top of the rocks.

But we are faster, or Winnetou?

You are Winnetou, I am Old Shatterhand.

We ride faster and faster.

Not so fast!

-�Talk to Old Shatterhand for me!
-�How?

You didn't read Karl May?

I started, but I didn't like it.

You're kidding me! Those
are the best books out there.

That's the Mississippi!

Over there are our allies.
We're chasing Blackfoot Indians.

No, that's the Volga,

we're the German army,
behind us are the Russians.

-�Come, otherwise the Russians will shoot you.
-�I can't swim.

Why didn't you say something sooner?

Swimming is the easiest thing in the world.

You do this with your hands,

and kick your feet like a frog.

-�I'll never learn that.
-�Sure you will, it's easy.

Quick, take off your clothes!
The Russians are attacking!

Stop that nonsense!

The Russians are not attacking, and
I'll undress if I want to undress.

Just like my grandma says.

-�Stab, whenever you can.
-�That's right.

-�Thank you.
-�58, 60, that's it for us.

Because of your pastor, there
are already three accusations.

Two anonymous, one full name.
You'll never guess who.

I need to take action, he won't
shut up. Say something to him.

He just prays and that'll
probably be allowed.

What are you staring at?

Maria, we need more potatoes.
There aren't enough.

I'll get some.

When the war is over, can you go home?

I don't know.

The Fair is in two weeks.

You can't celebrate it since the war started.

- Yes.
- There's nothing going on.

And a Fair without bratwurst,
that isn't a Church Fair.

You're a good woman. Not like Hitler.

Shh! Don't let the people out
there hear you say that.

-�I'd like another beer.
-�Yes, I'm coming.

Let us pray.

Let us pray for a word from the scriptures,

as it is written in the fifth
chapter of the first letter

of John the Apostle.

Our faith is the victory

that overcomes the world.

Merciful and loving God

In these days there is much talk of victory.

Reports of victories flood in.

God, Father,

let us also think of the vanquished
and may you have mercy on them.

What is victory other than the
annihilation of your opponent?

Let us always pay attention and consider

that human victories are often
short-lived and give us peace.

Peace also to those against whom our
fathers and sons fight at the front.

God, eternal gracious Father,

forgive us all.

Our Father, who art in heaven,

Hallowed be thy name,

I told you, Jesus.

If you don't get my dad's
head right soon, it's over.

... and forgive us our trespasses,

as we forgive those who trespass against us.

The pastor didn't say a word about The Fair.

And he wants The Fair. I told you.

But today would actually be the day.

We can't even celebrate the Church Fair.

Oh, we probably shouldn't
have any fun at all.

DAY OFF

As if they can do that to everyone.

Sit down at the Regulars' Table.
I'll be right there.

Hey our, hey our,

hey our Fair.

If we have no money, we
don't make any noise.

The Church Fair has come,
The Fair is here.

Hollarireidrio, hollarireidrio.

The old ones are singing,
the kids are happy.

Hollarireidri�...�reidri�...�o.

Hollarireidri�...�reidri�...�o.

-�Proper bratwurst. Where did you get this?
-�Enjoy your meal.

The Church Fair has come,
The Fair is here,

Hollarireidrio, hollarireidrio.

The old folks, they're singing,
The kids are happy.

Hollarireidrio, hollarireidrio.

It's me! Open up!

-�Albert!
-�Quick, let me in.

Where are you coming from
in the middle of the night?

-�Is she with you?
-�Gudrun?

-�Yes, and Lotte.
-�No.

-�Where are they then?
-�Don't you want something to drink first?

-�Where's my wife?
-�In Nuremberg.

I was in our apartment yesterday,
but she didn't come.

Oh yes, she will have
been on night duty.

-�Night duty?
-�Yes, she's working again.

Well, now I'm totally confused.

For the brown house in
the Weidenkellerstrasse.

-�Yes, but why?
-�Because she has to.

Do you want something to
drink? You must be thirsty.

I couldn't take it anymore,
I had to leave.

Gudrun is with me.

I can't go back, I deserted.

What are you saying?

I'm through.

Through?

My unit is back on the eastern front.

I've been wounded.

-�There was a bullet in there.
-�God, that looks bad.

Those are just the scars.

They took me to the hospital.

I ran away with five others.

I wanted to see my wife and child.

Father! You're home from the war?

You've grown again.

Are you back for good now?

Unfortunately I couldn't bring you anything.

There was nothing where I was.

Are you back for good now, Papa?

-�How is school going?
-�It's vacation.

Oh, right.

When it's over I'm going to school here.

Let's not talk about it.

You don't need to be afraid. You're smart.

She reads so much!

She eats up the books.

I wrote your Mama a letter.

I never got a reply.
So I didn't go back.

The night before the return
transport we left.

The rest went somewhere
else, I went to Nuremberg.

I don't know what came over us.

Now I'm a deserter. If
I get reported, I'm dead.

Papa.

The main thing is you're here now.

Is Mama really working?

Church Fair would've been today.

Oh God.

If it wasn't for the war, we'd
all be on the dance floor now.

-�Now we have a secret.
-�Time for bed.

-�And what if they find Papa?
-�Keep it down!

They mustn't find him, or
you won't have a Papa anymore.

So now we go to sleep.
Turn off the light.

Good night.

Don't wake me up tomorrow.

-�Dad.
-�You can't visit me during the day.

Be right back.

I have something to tell you.

-�Tell me, but very quietly.
-�I can swim.

Are you crazy?

Is something wrong with
your food, or what?

Michel Schmiedler wants to buy a rabbit.

Why didn't he tell me?

-�I was just with him.
-�What do I know?

- I should bring him with me.
- Why do that?

He doesn't want everyone to know
he's buying a rabbit from you.

Because you're on the pastor's side.

Fritz taught me how.

But today I did it alone.

-�I got cramps.
-�Come, sit down with me.

Concentrate on your breathing.

Do you know what we're
going to do after the war?

We'll swim in the ocean.

There's nothing better
than ocean swimming.

Letting yourself drift on the waves,

the taste of salt on your lips.

Come on!

-�Airplanes, Papa.
-�I already heard them.

Sit with me.

They're flying toward Nuremberg.

Dear God,

please make sure nothing happens to Mama.

Or to Papa either.

That was better.

Now I'll get respect, you'll see.

Mama!

Gudrun!

-�Go to your Papa right away.
-�Mama's here.

Stay with him until I come
get you. Be quiet, understand?

-�But why?
-�Don't ask questions, just go.

And you go home.

-�Mama, Mama!
-�I'm over here, Lotte!

Oh, Mama!

Our house was bombed. The whole street.

It's okay, it's okay.

You're alive, that's the main thing.

Everyone in our building
was dead. I saw the bodies.

Mrs. Blendinger and old Schmidt.

Mrs. Ebenbeck and her children�...
They're all dead, except for me.

-�If I'd been home, I would be dead too.
-�But you weren't, and you're alive.

-�Everything's fine, alright?
-�Nothing is fine.

Our apartment and everything is gone.
It's unbelievable, the whole street.

Gudrun should be glad she was here.

-�Where is she, anyway?
-�She went swimming with Fritz.

I've got good apple strudel.
Would you like some coffee?

I'll have coffee. We've already eaten.

You can't open the door.
We have to stay down.

Don't tug on me like that.
I'm not a dachshund.

We heard the planes,

Mr. Senior Assault Unit Leader.

Those were the first.
What are they called?

The first will be the last.
I swear to you, Mrs. W�lffel.

If I hadn't been with him
last night, I would be dead.

That wouldn't have been
very nice, you, dead.

The coffee is coming soon.

-�Please, dear madam.
-�Thank you.

That's Providence.

This is all Providence.

It would have been awful if your daughter
had died right at the beginning.

The first will be the last.

No need to fear.

The next planes will come
down like rotten tomatoes.

Do you see the SS man with her a lot?

That's her boss.

Her boss?

Mama loves you.

She's said so many times. She does.

And so do I.

Maybe he'll leave soon,
and Mama will stay here.

I can't stand it.

Now, let's taste it.

- You're all set now.
- Thank you.

I found that today in the
rubble of our house.

Oh, the rabbit.

Thank you.

Everything else was scorched,
except for that picture.

Mama.

What I'm telling you Gudrun can't know.

I won't say a word.

The Gestapo interrogated
me. Albert has deserted.

What did you say?

He took off. They haven't caught him yet.

I'd have big problems if not for Mr. Zagel.

I do my best.

Now he'll have to be punished.

I don't get it, how could he do this to me!

He should've thought about Gudrun.

Actually, we'll need to look around.

But why? What for?

In case he's hiding here.

No, he's not that stupid.

But if you must

then look around.

You can't go out there,
they'll lock you up forever.

I'll bet he leaves and Mama stays.

You already said that but
it doesn't look that way.

Have one more.

My granddaughter needs a
whole week to eat that.

Thanks, but we don't have time now.

-�Come on, let's go.
-�Let me finish.

I'll pack the rest. You
know, I love your strudel.

I'll be right there, make it quick.

I was in Nuremberg.

But you weren't there.

Yes.

I have�...�I was in the office.

Excellent, your apple
strudel, but duty calls.

Can't you leave my daughter here?
I have a lot to discuss with her.

Unfortunately not. We already
took a detour, stopping by.

Maybe next week. Thanks for the coffee.

Why did you run away?

Hide yourself well.

Aren't you swimming?

No, grandma. Heil Hitler, Mr. Zagel.

Heil Hitler. You don't need to be afraid.
Is your mother ready? It's time to go.

I just wanted to�...

My cat has kittens, and they're
somewhere back there.

- Do you want to see them?
- I don't like cats. And we don't have time.

- Why are you talking to him about cats?
- Papa is in the kitchen with Mama.

Mr. Zagel!

Mr. Zagel!

Would you like to take some
berries? They're especially good.

Fresh from the bush!
They taste like honey.

Thank you, thank you. Next time maybe.

Come on, let's go. Otherwise
we won't make it.

Why are you staring at me? What is it?

Nothing. Nothing.

Where's your handbag?
There are matches in it.

It's still in the garden house.

Gudrun will get it.

-�And the apple strudel?
-�Gudrun and Fritz will eat it.

The Senior Assault Unit
Leader can come back.

Especially since he likes
the strudel. Gudrun!

Get Mama's handbag from the garden house.

-�Do you have matches?
-�Yes, of course.

Always in the bathroom. The guests
have to take care of themselves.

Thank you again. My mother
is from Neukirchen too.

She has a sister in Neukirchen.

I'll tell her to stop by
for some apple strudel.

Thank you. Are you
coming out to the car?

When the war is over,

we'll come out here and live
with your grandmother.

I like it with you. Really.
And now back to headquarters.

-�Everything's over now.
-�How come?

Imagine, he would have discovered Papa.

-�But now Papa knows that�...
-�He knows nothing, and neither do you.

Your mom has to go back with her boss
now to Nuremberg. Do you understand?

Do you think you can protect Papa?

Mama needs to be with her
boss back in Nuremberg.

That's the only way she can
protect you, Grandma said.

I'm sure that's true.

Do you know why Fritz taught me to swim?

He's like Mom too. He
never says he likes me.

You have a decent testimonial.

Where is your father in action?

In Russia, Mr. Director.

On the front against the
Bolsheviks. Admirable, admirable.

What I wouldn't give to be
fighting for the Fatherland.

Please, come.

My apologies.
Heil Hitler, children.

Heil Hitler, Mr. Director.

One minute please.

I bring you a new student from the
city of the Reich Party Congress.

What is your name?

-�Gudrun Weisshaar.
-�Louder. So they can hear you in back!

-�Gudrun Weisshaar.
-�How many times have you met the F�hrer?

-�Twice, Mr. Director.
-�Very nice.

Gudrun!

Fritz, is that you? Where have you been?

-�I have to tell you something.
-�What?

I'll tell you in an hour.
Go straight to the pond.

Fritz, wait.

Winnetou?

Winnetou?

Hey!

I've got you now, and I'm never letting go.

Stop, or I'll bite you.

-�Are you giving up?
-�Stop it!

-�Only when you give up.
-�Ow, please stop it!

What's in it for me?

You wanted to tell me something.

You bit me.

Now I'm not telling you anything.

Then it wasn't very important.

It's about your father.

Your father has deserted.

My father did what?

Deserted! He ran away from the front.

Be glad you didn't know about it.

-�Where is he, do you know?
-�No.

But no one can see us together anymore.

-�They can't forbid us ...
-�Yes.

-�No.
-�Yes.

I want to get back into the Hitler Youth.

It's also because of my dad.

-�The Local Group Leader has warned him.
-�Warned?

His prayers in church have been
more and more against the F�hrer.

Then he said he doesn't like
seeing me meet with you.

Because your father has deserted.

-�I can swim now.
-�Um hmm.

-�Want me to show you?
-�It doesn't matter anymore.

Now we can race each other.

No way. In the pond we can
be seen from all sides.

I'll show you.

It's better if I leave now, so we
aren't going back together.

Do you see me, Fritz?

-�What? What is it?
-�Nothing.

I just wanted to see
if you were still here.

"Dear Fritz,

Is your tower also forbidden?

If you can't go there anymore,
I don't want to go there either.

Did not you find my last letter?

Thanks for the nice plane you painted me.

When can we meet again?

Don't be sad. Warm greetings�..."

Should I write 'Gudrun'
or 'your Gudrun'?

-�Good day.
-�Good day.

-�Hello, Gudrun.
-�I have cramps.

You didn't have to hurry.
I'm not running away.

Here.

-�But I have nothing for you.
-�Don't worry about it.

Thanks again.

There was something else on it.

I scraped it off and wrote
your name with frosting.

-�Give me a kiss.
-�You're crazy.

-�Did you get my letter?
-�Of course. I'm saving them all.

I'm saving yours too.

Planes.

- No, an air raid drill.
- No, planes are coming.

Not in broad daylight.
This is just a drill.

This is the new signal for:
Enemy planes approaching,

but there's no need to take shelter.

And if it's not a drill? I have to go
to grandma, she worries otherwise.

Wait, I have something to tell you.

Tonight?

Fritz?

Fritz?

Fritz?

Psst! Over here.

For God's sake!

-�It's just a cat.
-�Let's go somewhere else.

No, either here or not at all.

Please make it fast!

The clock is about to strike.

Do you see? Now it's time.

I can't watch.

So, now it's your turn.

Do you want to do it yourself?

-�I can't do this.
-�Then I'll do it.

Don't look, look away,
then it won't hurt.

-�Ouch! Is it already bleeding?
-�Just a little bit.

Now put your hand on mine,

so our blood can mix.

A little further. The blood
has to fall on the grave.

Like that.

Now we have to swear,

that nothing can pull us apart anymore.

I swear it.

Me too.

Now we each have to tell
the other a secret.

A secret?

You start, then I'll tell you mine.

-�No, no, first you.
-�No you.

Only when you tell me yours,
will I tell you mine.

Alright, but you can't tell.

Are we blood brothers or what?

You know that my dad
ran away from the war.

We're hiding him in grandma's basement.

No, I don't believe it.

- It's true.
- You just want to tell me something.

No, it's the truth. Word of honor!

- Now you tell me yours.
- You already know mine.

I want to get back into the Hitler Youth.

-�Heil Hitler, Mr. Local Group Leader!
-�Why are you making so much noise?

-�I know something.
-�Tell me then, and we'll go from there.

Can I go back to the Hitler
Youth, if I tell you?

What do you know?

Mrs. W�lffel has someone hidden.

-�You're crazy. I would've seen them already.
-�Gudrun's father.

Gudrun, come here.

You can't do that anymore.
Where have you been?

-�I�...
-�We were scared to death!

And you were running
too. You're sweating.

I made a blood brotherhood with Fritz.

God Almighty, are you crazy?

-�With the pastor's boy?
-�Now nothing can separate us again.

Not even the F�hrer.

God's kingdom is not of this world.

The kingdoms of the world come and go.

If history teaches us one thing with clarity,

it's that empires are transitory.

Only the kingdom of God is eternal,

and by His grace we will
partake of eternal life.

That's all that matters.

What's proudly and blasphemously
called the Thousand Year Reich

will soon go down.

Nothing exists without reverence for God,

without love and obedience to God,

our eternal Father in heaven.

Not one stone of the prideful buildings

dedicated by the King to his
godless contemptible empire

will be left piled on another.

And the wind will blow through the ruins,

until the stones themselves turn to dust.

Of the towering skyscrapers,

brazenly rising to the heavens,
will remain only a desert of rubble.

The wires of the power lines will
sink to the ground in shreds,

and the tanks and locomotives will rust.

By the railroad tracks
will lie smashed aircraft.

And like the Day of Judgment

a great cry will go up.

But this crying and wailing
will go unheard.

God forgive our F�hrer for his sins.

and forgive those to whom the
F�hrer's words mean more

than the word of our Lord
and Father in heaven.

The Lord bless you and watch over you.

The Lord let his light shine
over you and show you mercy.

The Lord raise his face to you

and give you peace.

-�Amen.
-�Amen.

God bless you.
Take care of your mother.

Do you see, Lord Jesus,

I told you, you have to
shut my father up,

so he doesn't speak out against our F�hrer.

But now he's done it.

Now it's all over.

I will never return to the Hitler Youth.

It was all for nothing.

All of it. Amen.

There you are, Grandma.

-�Have you come down with something?
-�No.

Who's going to stop by
today? I can sleep in.

See who's there.

All I see is a motorcycle.

Today's your day off? I don't believe it!

I know why you're closed this Sunday!

The Local Group Leader!
Tell him I'm sick!

Mr. Local Group Leader?

My grandma can't open today. She's sick.

There's an accusation against her.

I can call the Gestapo.

The post office is closed too.
Those two were taken with the pastor.

There you are.

I've already heard what they said.

Do not embarass me, Mrs. W�lffel.

Understand?

Be careful!

I can't go on, father.

- I have cramps in my side.
- Where are we now?

- Schoffenholz. In the middle of the woods.
- Do you see anyone?

No one.

Far enough then.

I'll continue alone from here.

You turn around and go back home.

I'll take you a little further, okay?

No, you're going home right
now. Your grandma needs you.

Goodbye, Gudrun.

-�Take care.
-�You too, Papa. And good luck.

Papa, can't I�...

The faster I get away from here, the
better. Farewell, I'm not coming back!

Papa!

-�Where will you go?
-�Give Mama a kiss for me!

Now go home, Gudrun!

Go home!

Papa.

- It's my fault.
- What?

I told Fritz, because of
the blood brotherhood.

I betrayed my own father.

Please let me go with you.

You didn't know this would happen.

It's just the times, and the war.

Not your fault.

Not your fault.

Enemy casualties are high.

Artillery fire sank three destroyers,

two torpedo boats and two troop transports.

The Luftwaffe shot down 83 enemy aircraft,

sunk two heavy-duty transports and a speedboat

and damaged five enemy cruisers.

This will save your Papa.

Thank God he doesn't have
to be down there anymore.

-�You're already hungry, right?
-�No.

That's impossible. You
like my dumplings so much.

-�But what if I don't want anything?
-�We have to eat something.

Do you know this one: "I'm
hungry, up there is a hummer!

I'm thirsty, up there is a bratwurst!"

Stop it.

How about this one:
"Go up to the thing and say to the thing

what the thing does, and the thing runs away."

Hey, Gudrun.

A farmer rode with his wife
on the train to Nuremberg.

His head was bound, because
his toothache was so bad.

Just before they got to Nuremberg, the farmer's
wife had to use the bathroom urgently.

But she opened the wrong door
and fell out of the train.

The farmer said:

"Just today, when I can't laugh, the
old lady has to fall off the train."

Spread out both your wings,

O Jesus, my joy,

and embrace your chick.

If Satan wants to devour me,

Let the angels sing:

Let this child not be harmed.

-�Amen.
-�Amen.

And Papa too. And Mama.

And Fritz.

Yes, yes, Fritz. You're right.

He needs you to pray for him.

Look Gretel, what's he doing there?

Guess who it is?

- Fritz?
- I am accepted back. Surprised, aren't you.

They found the kid who stole the dagger.

Aren't you happy, that we're
allowed to see each other again?

You have a scar too, right?

It takes a while for
that to heal completely.

It's never going to heal for me.

What do you mean? Of course it'll heal.

- Do you have something to say?
- Why do you lie all the time?

I don't lie. You see, they took me back.

Because you betrayed my secret, that's why.

Nothing will happen to your father.

If they catch him, he'll
be sent back to the front.

You can trust me!

The F�hrer needs every soldier
now for the final victory!

The choir continues, as sure
as the amen in the church.

-�Enjoy your meal.
-�Thank you.

They're all the same, except
for the Medical Council.

When you call the donkey, it comes running.

-�Heil Hitler.
-�Heil Hitler.

-�Sorry for the delay.
-�It cost you a round.

I had to deliver a baby again.

An eight pound boy!

Skip the story. I'll see if
there's anything left to eat.

Mrs. W�lffel doesn't like it
when you look in her pots.

I know.

Go on.

-�What's there to eat?
-�Potato soup.

Maria, leave for a second.

Stay outside, there's
nothing in here for you.

Now sit down for once.

Actually I shouldn't be telling you this.

They got your son-in-law.

It happened a few days ago.

And they've already sentenced him.
Everyone testified against him.

Common desertion, and
he was the ringleader.

The sentence has been confirmed.

It will be carried out on
the 29th of September.

Publicly, out in the quarry.

Such a shame! Why did they
have to bring him to me?

They just want to make an example.

Ironically, in our quarry.

As if they couldn't do it in Nuremberg.

Such a shame!

Then four potato soups, Mrs. W�lffel!

At that price I can be stupid and eat.

If you don't divorce him, I
can't help you anymore.

Think it over carefully.

You know where to find me.

Drive.

Mama, are you staying
with us for good now?

-�It's my fault! I have to go to him!
-�Stay here, girl.

For God's sake, stay here!

Gudrun!

Dear God, make sure she doesn't get shot.

Luckily, Grandpa wasn't
here to see this day.

Come on, Gudrun, come on.

Crying doesn't help now.

I�...�I�...

I know.

I have�...�I�...

You already admitted it, but
I didn't want to believe it.

I have to go to the munitions
factory tomorrow.

I know that's a dangerous job.

I'm on a suicide mission.

For God's sake, be careful.

Whoever caught him,

it was just bad luck.

- Leave Gudrun here with me.
- No, grandma.

I'm going back to Nuremberg with Mama.

She has no time for you,
when she works all day.

No, Grandma, Mama needs me now.

At least I have a memory of my Papa.

He's gone. I can't look
at the rabbit anymore.

Read something. Then you'll have new ideas.

I can't.

Should I read to you a bit?

I don't like fairy tales anymore.
