THE FUHRER'S TABLE

MUNICH, NOVEMBER 8, 1939

We welcome our Fuhrer
with three cheers

- Sieg
- Heil!

I give the floor to the Fuhrer

Fellow party comrades!

Fellow Germans!

I have come to you
for only a few hours,

to evoke in your midst

the memory of a day

FOG! AIRPLANE UNABLE TO START!

which was of great importance for us,

for our movement,
and for the German people

If, during the four years
from 1919 to 1923,

the National Socialist Movement
was able to grow to such an extent

that it succeeded, for the first time,

in mobilising the entire nation
in a stirring event,

then this was due to the general state
Germany found itself in.

KONSTANZ, LAKE CONSTANCE

A terrible catastrophe
had befallen our country and our people.

What forced Germany to succumb
at the time

were the lies of our adversaries.

GERMAN-SWISS BORDER

The lies told by the same men
who are lying again today.

However, everyone must understand
that they are not sacrificing any more

than all the others
sacrificed before them

We are also aware

of how much
destiny has assisted us

and enabled us to do so much.

It let us forge our plans in the right way

and blessed their successful outcome.

Hello!

Where are you going?

I'm looking for an old friend

Feuchtelhuber
of the Konstanz Folklore Society

I used to be a member there

None of us know
whether they will suffer

What our women sacrifice
to bear the nation's children,

our men sacrifice
by defending the country

We National Socialists
have always been fighters

Now the great moment has come
to prove ourselves as fighters

No one but us can be victorious.

That Mr. Churchill doesn't think so,

I shall put down to his old age.

Others didn't believe it either.

They will be told by Churchill,
by Chamberlain...

Why are you wearing that badge?

Out of support

The Red Front
is an illegal organisation

...if we hadn't been
drawn into it by England.

England boosted its power
through agitation and incitement.

REICH SECURITY MAIN OFFICE

Heinrich, I'd like to join
my wife at the opera

The Reichsfuhrer wants our new figures

submitted to him
for the big meeting tomorrow

What's complicated
about listing all detained lunatics?

The clerical task isn't complicated

But we need to decide
whether to include church institutions

No exceptions
This reflects the Reichsfuhrer's wishes

The priests will make a fuss

They'll calm down again

I'd propose to Himmler
that we proceed step by step

First

Not now, Bauer!

An attempt on the Fuhrer's life in Munich

A bomb

Half the roof is said to have caved in

First MG squad, take position!

Second MG squad, take position!

Alight!

Move!

- Move!
- Line formation!

Line up!

- Here's the list
- Thank you

Heil Hitler!

My name is Eberle,

I'm the Local Party Leader here
At your service

Heil Hitler

All relatives of one Georg Elser,

last known address Turkenstrase 59
in Munich, to report to the square

What has Georgie done?

You instruct my men

But the Elsers are harmless

That's an order!

Yes, sir!

Is this the lot of them?

Yes, Major,

including his former fiancee,
Elsa Stephan

The whole lot to Berlin for questioning!

Come!

How dare you?

- Let go!
- Don't, Elsa, or they'll take them, too

I'll bring them to your mother

These are the corrected lunatic asylum
statistics that we're re-submitting

- Including the church ones?
- Yes The gentlemen are waiting

Gentlemen, we cannot afford
to make a mistake now,

not even the slightest

Halt!

Heil Hitler, Mr Elser

Heil Hitler

Good day

Or good day, if you prefer that

My name is Nebe

Head of Criminal Police
I'm in charge of your case

This is the head of the Gestapo,
Oberfuhrer Muller

Elser

How do you think
your wicked assassination attempt ended?

We mourn the death of seven innocent
people for which you are responsible

Seven men and women,

including a waitress,
married with two children

A marching band flautist, leaving behind
a wife and teenage daughter

What did these people do to you?

Who gave you the right to kill them?

Don't you have anything to say
to the relatives?

Not a single word?

Do you think the Fuhrer is dead?

You think you succeeded?

The Fuhrer is alive

He left the Burgerbraukeller
13 minutes before the explosion

Your assassination attempt failed

You were carrying bomb schematics
when you were arrested

You spent a lot of time
at the Burgerbraukeller

Take off your trousers

I want to see your knees

Off with your trousers!

I want to see your knees

Elser

I'm now giving you your only chance
to own up to everything

You think you know everything already
Shoot me and get it over with

We're not there yet by a long way

Let's start right at the beginning

Name? Date of birth?

KONSTANZ, LAKE CONSTANCE 1932

Where we gather

Under the linden trees

A t eventide

Where we gather

Under the linden trees

A t eventide

Many hours we've spent here together

Sitting in a...

You know you'll have to make up
for your attack

Do you love me?

You never commit, do you?

You know I like spending time with you

And what about Bruni?

Nothing She's having fun too

I'll leave if you want

Are you crazy?

I hope no one died

That stupid old drunkard

Your father? Is he dead?

He sold another two fields,
our best land

Now I'm supposed
to sort things out at home

The Messerschmitt is worth two

Georgie Elser is back

- Hi, Lore How's the leg?
- Same as always

Will you stay with your folks now?

Looks like it

They need you urgently

You have to register within 48 hours,
that's now the law

I won't stay longer than four weeks

- Still
- All you can think of is supervising

Hi, Elmar

My dad says
Lore shouldn't act like a big shot,

she's with a Jew from Heidenheim

Who turned you
into a moron all of a sudden?

There, you better
give me a hand with this

Good day

Are there soldiers
at the Konstanz border crossing?

Customs officers, that's enough

What's in the box? Show me

There's no show today

Mother?

Georg

At last

Come here, my boy

- Thank you for coming
- Where is he?

Come on, no stopping

Leave the cider alone

Damn it!

Keep the blade straight!

If I'm supposed to help you,
stop the boozing

You little shit!
That cider was expensive!

I never booze and I'm still alive

I don't like repeating myself

Name? Date of birth?

Name? Date of birth?

Name? Date of birth?

Name?

Date of birth?

Name? Date of birth?

Name? Date of birth?

Name? Date of birth?

Name? Date of birth?

Name? Date of birth?

Name? Date of birth?

Again:

Name? Date of birth?

Kiss my ass

I can't hear you

Kiss my ass!

Send this to Baumann I want him
to order this weed killer from IG Farben

Very well, Oberfuhrer

I know this breed from the Swabian Hills

They'd rather
be beaten to death than give in

Shall I tell this to the Reichsfuhrer SS?

There's this breed
from the Swabian Hills

That guy is merely a puppet

Just look at his physiognomy,

his eyes

He's not some naive idiot
The man knows what he wants

He may be a country boy, but he's
not lacking ideological conviction

And the evidence is overwhelming

The Fuhrer doesn't want evidence,
he wants a written confession

Goebbels needs it for the press

I'll pull out every one of his teeth
to make him sign if I have to

You saw that he won't budge

Are you telling me
how to do my job now?

Your lot should have
known about this sooner

Now where is that list
of the arrested relatives?

I'm asking myself how an ethnic German
can hate our Fuhrer so much

to carry out such a despicable attack

And on November 8th, of all days

Now look who's joining us, Elser

Come in!

Evening all

- Ernst, a beer and a kirsch!
- Beer and a kirsch, coming up

No Erich has had enough
Two orange sodas, please

What's it going to be, Erich?
Soda or the usual?

The usual, you dumbass!

Thank you

Shall we get some fresh air?

That's Elsa

She's married

Those are the best ones

This seat is taken, Eberle

We found another dead hare
in a sling today

In the woods, near the ltzeIsberg

- That's above my field
- Piss off, Eberle

I'll give you a good kicking
if the poaching doesn't stop

The dance is called a tango
It's from South America

It's very close, almost sinful

Watch

One

One, two, tango step

One, two

Something like that

I'm Georgie Elser

You're Elsa, aren't you?

I'm going back to my Erich

Hans, a round, time to celebrate!

So, what was the percentage?

The NSDAP is the biggest party
in the Reichstag with 44%

Come, Lore Let's go

The Reds lost
What do you say now?

There you go

- Come on, let's go
- No, I'll finish my drink

There you go

To our Fuhrer Sieg Heil!

Sieg Heil! Sieg Heil!

- Quiet, we're playing cards!
- Hang on

We'll have no shouting here

- Who's shouting here?
- Calm down

Stay calm

Calm down Let's stay calm

Schurr, you'll be the first
to be strung up once we seize power

And you'll be shot after the revolution

Idiots

You've been to Konstanz
and Switzerland?

- Yes
- Did you go to the cinema there?

I saw a picture of Jacqueline Wells
in a magazine

She's so beautiful
in "Tarzan the Fearless"

They say she's wearing
hardly anything in that film

That would interest you, of course

Just die, you bastards!
Sons of bitches!

Why did you leave?

You've been fighting
with the Nazis for years For what?

Musician! Go home and pray

Dirty pacifist!

- So what?
- Shut up!

You're a coward?

Yes, maybe I am a coward,

because violence
has never achieved anything

Elser, now tell your girl here
why you did this

Did you do this, Georg?

Elsa

Take her away

Where are they taking her?

That's entirely up to you

Our Father who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name

Thy kingdom come Thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven

Give us this day our daily bread,

and forgive us our trespasses, as we
forgive those who trespass against us,

and lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil

For thine is the kingdom,

and the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever

Amen

- Elsa
- Yes?

She has nothing to do with this

Will you guarantee
she won't be harmed?

She's not important to us
if we have a confession from you

If not, it's a different matter

My word as an officer

That means nothing to me

I can't offer more

All right then It was me

My name is Elser, Johann Georg

Born 4th January, 1903

Let's begin

Party membership?

None

And this?

My Red Front badge

But I was never
a Communist Party member

- Red Front
- Red Front

Good that you're with us

WORKERS VOTE KPD

- Josef!
- What?

The H

- What?
- The H

- Shit!
- Add it!

- Or the Browns will say we're idiots
- Come on!

Watch out!

Shit!

Stop! Halt!
Site security!

"I joined the Konstanz
Folklore Society"

Just for the companionship?

I didn't join to pick up girls

You can meet girls anywhere

And before you ask, I wasn't close
to any girl from the society

Of course there was the occasional

Why don't you just admit
you're a communist?

No, I thought it was enough to vote KPD

I'm sure you were involved
in demonstrations, handing out flyers

No I didn't even attend meetings

It's highly unlikely an apolitical person

would plan and carry out
an attack on such a huge scale

I was a free human being

Meaning?

You have to do what's right

If humanity isn't free,
everything dies with it

Am I allowed to write one last letter?

Please, just a few lines
to my fiancee and my mother

Take him away

MUNICH ASSASSIN CAPTURED

ASSASSIN CAPTURED

That small-time carpenter is trying to
hoodwink us, claiming he acted alone

Just one man can't construct
such a powerful bomb

Elser insists he carried out
the attack on his own

- There's no evidence
- We won't let criminals call us liars!

The Fuhrer wants us to get him to talk
by any means necessary

He must say who's behind it

Obergruppenfuhrer, it's becoming clear
no one else is pulling the strings here

You might trigger the Fuhrer's reaction
for being soft and failing when it counts

We don't believe a word of it

What?

"For 30 nights, I waited until I got
locked in to the Burgerbraukeller

"I wrapped a rag around
the rear part of the drill

"I benefited from the lavatories
automatically flushing every 10 minutes

"I used the sound to conceal my work,

then waited another 10 minutes
for the flushing to start again "

Correct

A lowly craftsman like you
couldn't build a bomb like that

Who supplied your material?

For the last time,
who were you working for?

All right, I'll tell you

We only have two telephones
in the village

Churchill called me at the dairy

The mayor's office
would have been a bad idea

Churchill called and said,

"Elser, build a bomb to blow up Hitler
for me, we can't do it on our own "

I can't tell you what didn't happen

Just give me pen and paper
and I'll prove it to you!

18, 20

I'm out

- Three
- I'm out

I'll go for diamonds if you don't mind

- Heil Hitler, everyone
- Heil Hitler

Hi

Ah, I see, voluntary disbanding

Very sensible

But if you think that the strike fund
will disappear with you,

you've got another thing coming

Listen up, national comrades

How about attending
the Gauleiter's rally in Heidenheim later

instead of playing cards at the pub?

Heil Hitler and good day

- Heil Hitler
- Good day

Ernst, the usual combo

Coming up

Tell your Gauleiter
there was another hare caught in a sling

You can do whatever you like

But don't complain if it hurts

That was Elsa

But let me tell you, Eberle,
she won't talk back any time soon

Elsa?

- Elsa?
- Leave me alone

- Why?
- I don't want you to see me like this

What about Erich?

He'll get drunk at the pub
The children are asleep

You

It's different with you

Do you know that?

When will you be going back
to Konstanz?

If the instrument maker pays
for the maple wood, we could make it

Yes, Georg, God willing

If not, the marshals
will come take our house away

Where do we go then?

I don't know

I might move in with Elsa

You shouldn't fool around
with married women

There's no fooling around

Erich is asking for a lodger
because he's hard up

You're not fooling me
No one around here has any money

You want to be near that woman

She has a bastard child and you too

Don't get carried away, mother
I'm a bastard myself

But your father married me

Elsa made her daughter
legitimate too So what?

You left Mathilde with your child

Is that the done thing?

I don't care what the done thing is

If two people aren't right together,
it's misery

Just look at you and father

You'll see what this leads to,

always doing exactly the opposite
of God's plan

Where else could they be?

We'll find them, don't you worry

- Halt! Gruppenfuhrer, you'll go there!
- Yes, sir!

Georg, I need your help
Eberle is after me

Why?

After their last rally,
the Nazis arrested all party members

Come in

- I knew I'd find you here
- Put your hands up

What have we here?

We only have orders
to go after party members,

but soon it'll be the rest
of your Bolshevik scum

Take him away

What do you think you're doing?

Is he one of them too?

He's just a big-mouthed musician

Go inside
This is none of your business

All right, then Let's go

WITH THE STURMER AGAINST JUDAH

HARVEST FESTIVAL 1934

Flim-fum, church scum

Flim-fum, church scum

The Fuhrer blows up the churches

And all the priests will be strung up

Like your saviour on the cross

Flim-fum, church scum

Beat it, you dirty scoundrels!

Leave it, Leonhard!

Now they're even blasting things
on the Lord's day

OK? Well, go on

Hello, hello

Stand closer together

NSDAP CINEMA
SHOWING THE SHEPHERDS' RUN

- Alfred!
- Eberle!

Good that you could make it
Have you eaten?

When does it start?

It's about to start

Listen up, everyone! The screening
will start in five minutes' time

First come, first served

Let's go then

One after another

Like a farmer eating dumplings

No, no, Elmar
You have to get in line too

Leonhard

We saved you a space

I took part in the Shepherds' Run
Maybe I'm in the film

There's free beer and a sausage stew

We only have turnip at home,
but we're decent people

So?

You'll have to decide, son

National comrades, I'll keep it short

I know you're more excited about the film

than Eberle's speech

However, today
we witness once again

how the Fuhrer brings us
technological progress

Even the most remote parts
of the German Reich

will see wealth and comfort

That's right Bravo!

Within three years,
we will all have our own radio set,

connecting us to modern times

I promise you,

all of the village's streets
will be paved and lit

This is progress

This is our Fuhrer, Adolf Hitler

- Sieg
- Heil!

And now, our wonderful Shepherds' Run
as a motion picture

Please

Georgie

You're lucky you can still
move freely in the village

You claim to have organised
your own gunpowder plates

Where exactly did you get them from?

Before deciding
on the actual details of my plan,

I used my position at the steel works

to steal a total of 250 pieces
of pressed gunpowder

How do you know
it was exactly 250 pieces?

I counted them

Who else knew about this?

Nobody The theft was not
discovered by the company

I wrapped the powder in paper
and hid it in my wardrobe at home

And the dynamite?

I stole it from the quarry at night

What was the name of your boss?

I can't remember

I only met the man three or four times

If you don't talk,
they can have you shot,

any time, up there in the yard

It's true
I'm not covering up for anyone

Do you really think
we won't uncover everything?

No, Mr Nebe, I don't

That's why I'm
completely honest with you

And?

We inquire about a monumental attack
and the Swiss send this

"The proprietor describes Elser
as hard-working"

"It was noted he often left work
to go swimming in the afternoons"

"He more than made up
for the missing time in the evenings"

"We have no knowledge
of Elser's acquaintances"

Take your hands off your face!

Dot, dot, comma, swish,

makes a face round like a dish

What about the hair?

What about the ears?

Iris!

I found something!

The marshals will come on Monday
We'll have to leave our home

I sometimes wonder
how it would be with you

You and me together

You could play in an orchestra

Maybe in Switzerland

Or in America, they pay more there

Are you serious about me, Georgie?

This might be the first time
I'm serious about anyone

I'm pregnant again

Don't The children mustn't find out
They talk a lot at home

I think it's your child

But I haven't always been able
to fend off Erich

I prayed for the Lord to take the child,
regardless of whether it's yours or his

You mustn't say that, Elsa

Who will feed the child?

Why can't they let us be how we want?

You have to get a divorce

Am I supposed to move in with you,
now that they're taking your home?

Where will you live now?

Uncle! Mummy says
you'll sleep in our basement

I'm not your uncle I'm Georgie

Are you going to paint faces
and protect me from the bogeyman?

If he comes, I'll get my accordion
and play so terribly that he runs away

Mummy, Georgie is here

And, very important:
no female visitors Understood?

Your reputation isn't the best,
but I must protect mine

That's why I won't tolerate anything

So it's free board and lodging
until the furniture is finished,

and then 20 a month

Sign it

So this is it

There's a mattress in the other room
that you can have

I'll clean the window for you, Georgie
To make it brighter

My wife doesn't clean for lodgers

First we need to oil the hinges

If you can't pay

or you breach the contract,
you'll have to move out

- Understood?
- I'll always find work

Come on! Beat it!

I'M THE BIGGEST PIG AROUND
AS I MlX WITH JEWS IN TOWN

But, Lore

What's all this about?

You can join her if you like

Get lost!

It's not my birthday

I bet they wear this in Ulm,
or even in Stuttgart

You're crazy

Thank you

Shall I take it up like this?
Or maybe even shorter?

Shorter is nice

But don't wear it
when Erich's around

Don't worry, it's just for you

What's wrong?

They sat Lore in the square
with a sign round her neck

Because of her boyfriend?

Poor thing

But there's nothing we can do

It's getting worse and worse

Elsa

It's Schurr!

I can't be seen with people

Come on in Hurry

After the Heuberg concentration camp
they sent us to work at satellite camps

There was at least one death every week

- Where are you working now?
- At the steel works

I get out every two weeks for
good behaviour, but mustn't see anyone

Gosh!

And you? Out of work,
being at home at this time?

Self-employed
But it's hard, not being a Nazi

The steel works are hiring

But be careful
They toe the party line

There

You do realise we fed a camp inmate?

If the Gestapo come
I'll tell the pricks it's my bread

- I do what I want with it
- But you're living in our home

If the Gestapo come, we're all in for it

You didn't need
so many fuses to detonate the bomb

Correct I knew two or three
gunpowder plates would suffice

But I thought the extra ones
would increase the explosion

Why two clockworks in the bomb?

I didn't want to rely on just one
clockwork for my plan to succeed

Matching the 12 combs (B)
of cogwheel (A),

I was able to set each clock
with its run-time of 14 days

144 hours or 6 days in advance,

accurate within 15 minutes,
to the time of the explosion, 21:20,

and activate it

All of 13 minutes were missing

How did you build the detonator?

The block with the three inserted
and sharpened nails (N)

hits the bolt (U), on which it has been
loosely set, before the spring (

The tips (W) then hit
the cartridges opposite,

thus igniting through the impact
on the cartridge primers

the blasting caps Y,
inserted at a short distance from them

The charge detonates

And?

This ignition head requires
a pressure of 35 kilopond

The spring is set to 40 kilopond
Everything matches exactly

This Elser works intuitively
and very accurately

Everybody knows
you need pressure to detonate

Elser must have had instructions

Technically, he conceived and built
the bomb all on his own

If you know all the parameters,
you don't need any help or instructions

This man knows what he's talking about

10, 15, 20

Come here Get lost! Beat it!

You're hurting me

You're hurting me!

OUR GREETING:
"HEIL HITLER!"

Josef!

What's the big secret they're hiding?

I'm not sure yet, it might be
moulds for ignition heads

Do you think you can
earn your money talking?

Any contact with
the forced labourers is prohibited

Workers of the world, unite!

This is Radio Moscow in German
on 25m short-wave

On April26, 1937,

Adolf Hitler ordered his Condor Legion

to bomb the Spanish town of Guernica

Never before
has such a devastating attack

on a civilian target area
been witnessed

At least 260 people were shot,
torn to pieces or burned to death

Guernica's destruction is a violation of
international law and an important step

I've had it with this wretched scum

Why do they all follow this gangster?

They're the master race now
They think the Nazis make it better

Nothing's better

GERMAN TANKS

German domination in the air

is not just due to the outstanding
aviators of the Luftwaffe,

but also to the tremendous contributions
of the aviation industry

As Fuhrer and Chancellor
of the German nation and the Reich,

I hereby announce to German history

the accession of my homeland
to the German Reich

Sieg Heil!

JEWS NOT WELCOME
VILLAGE OF KONIGSBRONN

They want war

It'll be brutal
They're building tanks as piecework

Maybe it'll be like Bohemia and Moravia

With Hitler attacking
England and France?

We'll all die and the country with us

I'm a forced labourer, Georgie

We really ought to do something

But what?
Blow up the Special Unit?

That would only mean dead workers
and the Nazis would carry on

We have to do something else,
and soon

Soon and radical

Attack the leadership

You'll need guns or dynamite

There's dynamite up in the quarry
and detonators here in the factory

- Someone has to stop this madness
- Yes, but not you or me or us

Hitler must be stopped
by other countries, by generals

We're not strong enough, Georg

We can't wait till it's too late

It has to happen

What's wrong?

I can't stand you
doing it with this drunkard

There's nothing I can do

You filthy whore!

You slut!

Just one more, you swine,
just one more

I'll kill you

I'll kill you, both of you

Both of you

Elsa?

How's the child?

- It's kicking
- Thank God

What happens now?

This here is over
Just come with me

Where to? To your mother?

So we all go to heaven?

There's no room for me there

I now work piece rate
It's better money

It'll be enough
if I repair furniture on the side

There are cheap flats
in Heidenheim now

Only for Labour Front workers

Not for you

BURGERBRAU ADDRESS
THE FUHRER SPEAKS!

THE FUHRER SPEAKS

TIMETABLE

MUNICH 1938

We've checked everything

A talented worker such as yourself
should be a staunch National Socialist

It's obvious that the Nazis
don't support the people

Today, a carpenter's hourly wage
is 68 Pfennigs

In 1929 it was 1 Mark and 5

You're not trying to tell us that our
Fuhrer isn't looking after workers

Hitler is bad for Germany

- Have you gone completely insane?
- It's true though

He's sending dissenters
to concentration camps

And the Jews are being robbed and
tortured just because of their faith

To cleanse the population

Your blitzkrieg was a brutal attack

Poland will be annihilated,
Hitler will incorporate it

That's the law of the strongest

It's always been like this

Do you really think
there'll be no consequences?

France and England
declared war on us on September 3rd

Soon, a terrible fire will steamroll
Germany and destroy everything

Endless amounts of blood will be shed

Then the bombs will drop on us, too

Can't you see what's happening?

You're suffering from paranoia

And what about the victims?

Hitler always talks about destiny

So you National Socialists, too,
must have a higher law

And it states, "thou shalt not kill"

That's rich, coming from someone
who murdered eight innocent people

Yes, you heard right

Last night,
the injured Schmeidel died as well

I only wanted to prevent
even more bloodshed

I knew it would not just hit
the highest ranks

But it had to be done

All right, take this down

The considerations I undertook

led to the conclusion
that conditions in Germany

could only be changed by extinguishing
the current leadership

I said the highest ranks

Very well, the highest ranks, then

By this, I mean

By this, I mean Hitler
and all the government

I am the sole perpetrator

I procured the necessary means
for the attack on my own

I was working entirely alone

Correct

And, funnily enough,
nobody would have joined me

You will regret this, Elser

Miss Secretary,
may I ask you something?

You're not allowed

I know you're not wholly unmoved

Please

I would be grateful if you could
pass on my condolences to the relatives,

my heartfelt condolences

I think about them all day

And, if possible, tell Elsa and my family
that I'm well at the moment

And that I'm praying
for the Lord to protect them

And that I accept
sole responsibility for everything

Could you pass that on, please?

You can't get any more out of him
than the truth

We make the truth

You're not normally so soft

It's from the file Put it away
You didn't get it from me

That'll do for today

Take him away

Thank you

And, what did you have, a boy?

A boy He's ours

I can see it

I already told Erich
he'll be called Georg

He was shouting

But I signed the midwife's certificate

- You get some rest now
- Stay

Erich has gone drinking

I have to get to work, Elsa

The prisoner to the left, please,
with the gentlemen at the table

The Oberfuhrer on the left, please

If the prisoner could point
to the schematic, please

And if the Oberfuhrer
could bend down a little, please

You stated the Fuhrer was bad
for Germany

That's right

Heil Hitler! Heil the Fuhrer!

Our Fuhrer made Germany great
and will lead us on to glory

He is the greatest leader
and won't die until our destiny is fulfilled

What is a worm like you
to do with such a man?

What lunatic has controlled you,
you imbecile?

It's like I said

The Fuhrer demands to know
who instigated this fool to act

Have him hypnotised,
drug him, I don't care

Use any means that our scientists
have been working on

The Fuhrer wants to know who set it up

He wants to know who's behind this

His patience has run out

I could stay with my mother
for a while after the divorce

What do you think?

She'll have the children
There's work in Esslingen

You can come down
from Munich on weekends

I must know
if you really want this, Georgie

I love you

Elsa

The boy

Georgie!

Georgie

So you're off to Munich

Without a goodbye, just like that

Don't move

So you do have something in Munich

And it's decided?

It's just for a short while

I love you, Georgie,
but I have no choice

I can take a lot,
but the children are hungry

I'd give you money,
but I need it for Munich

Elsa, wait for me. Be faithful to me

I've got something planned

I can't tell you what,
but it's vital, and it'll be fine

I want to marry you when it's all over

We'll move to Switzerland
with the children

Think of the dancing

It's not about dreams

It's about life, Georgie

I know you left women before me

Then I'll just have to be
a single mother forever

I can't hear what you're saying

Tell us the names

The names

No

The name!
Who provided the cartridges?

Who supplied the explosives?

I can't hear you

You bastard!

The names, Elser! Tell us the names!

Heil! Heil! Heil!

I did it on my own

Nobody helped me

I shall try and atone

for the bad things that I have done

By doing what?

And how?

By trying to

By trying to integrate myself into

the national community
and work within it

Would you be able to?

I changed my conviction

Because you were arrested

No

I'm certain
my plan would have succeeded,

if my conviction had been right

Since it hasn't succeeded,

I'm convinced
it wasn't meant to succeed

and that my conviction was wrong

Take him away

Can I see a priest?

No

5 YEARS LATER

SPRING 1945

BERLIN,
PLOTZENSEE EXECUTION SITE

"The First Senate of the People's Court
ruled on March 2nd, 1945:

"The former SS Gruppenfuhrer and
Lieutenant General of Police Arthur Nebe

is of thoroughly flawed character"

"He took part
in the conspiracy of July 20th

"He supported
the attempt on the Fuhrer's life,

and was willing to assist the coup
by providing police personnel"

"He is sentenced to death for high treason
and will forever be without honour

"His estate will go to the Reich "

SPECIAL OCCURRENCES:

NONE

DACHAU CONCENTRATION CAMP

SPECIAL PRISONER WARD

Nebe was executed a few days ago

Did you hear me? Nebe's dead

At Plotzensee

- How do you know?
- From the new inmates, as usual

They strung up Nebe? Why?

He designated policemen for Stauffenberg
to arrest all ministers after the coup

So much for the great show trial
that Goebbels wanted to put on for you

It'll soon be over for me, too

At least you got
a few more years out of them

If only I knew what happened to Elsa

You keep asking about that woman
How should I know?

With so many people dying

She's not necessarily dead

She might be alive,
imprisoned somewhere

There's also good news

The College of Music for the Disabled
has accepted me

I'll learn how to sing now

Viennese songs for zither

As a little thank-you for recommending
I try the College of Music

You were young

I was young

Now it's all gone

Only the memories

Are all that carries on

You were pretty

I was smart

And so in love

Think back to the places

To the sweetest faces

Just because there 's nothing
you can place above

Franz, you know about these things

What's quicker:

gas, hanging,
or being shot in the neck?

I've been waiting for so long

It might as well be over quickly

hallowed be thy name

Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done

on earth as it is in heaven

Give us this day our daily bread,

and forgive us our trespasses

The English reduced Dresden to rubble

Not one building is left standing

One hundred thousand civilians
killed in one night

For thine is the kingdom

Praying is pointless

God is in America or in Moscow
He won't hear you

How can one man fail as horribly as I?

Prisoner Elser,

for interrogation!

During one of the next terror attacks
on Munich or the Dachau area,

Elser will allegedly
suffer a fatal accident

I therefore ask you to secretly liquidate
Elser when this situation arises

Make sure that only very few specially
selected personnel know about this

The incident report filed to me
should read along the lines of:

"On ( ), following
the terror attack on ( ),

"special prisoner Elser,
among others, was fatally injured "

You must destroy this letter once
you have taken note and carried this out

A FEW DAYS LATER,
ON APRIL 29, 1945,

THE DACHAU CONCENTRATION CAMP
WAS LIBERATED

STARTED BY HITLER,

THE SECOND WORLD WAR
CLAIMED AT LEAST 55 MILLION LIVES

IT TOOK DECADES FOR GERMANY

TO RECOGNISE GEORG ELSER
AS A RESISTANCE FIGHTER

FOLLOWING HER DIVORCE,

ELSA WAS MARRIED
TWO MORE TIMES

SHE DIED IN WIESENSTEIG
ON OCTOBER 11, 1994

SHE NEVER GOT OVER GEORG ELSER,
THE LOVE OF HER LIFE

13 MINUTES

THIS FILM WAS BASED
ON HISTORICAL EVENTS

SOME SCENES FROM
GEORG ELSER'S PERSONAL LIFE

WERE FICTIONALISED
