Original subtitles

After his arrest in the fall of 1942,

the Soviet agent

chief Leopold Rapper agreed to work with the

special squad of the Gestapo Red Band.

He wanted to save what was

still to be saved.

His condition was that the companions he

had to hand over to the Gestapo were neither

sent to a concentration camp nor executed

Giering accepts these

conditions,

while his

most important employee, who

was arrested in Marseille, also knows his

work for the Sonderkommando on

he too is blackmailed by the Gestapo

and forced to cooperate in

his name, an SS man now radios

game material to Moscow and in

return receives real reports from Moscow from

director Giering and Bömelburg

then pull the entire auxiliary apparatus of the

Sonderkommando into a villa in July

together and perfect the system

of deception but

Giering no longer experiences the success of his plan

after his death, a

man takes his place who wants to give the game with

the Russians a new direction.

Crime Council breaks He wants to bring

all resistance groups in France

under his

control through radio contact with the headquarters in Moscow, but his plans are barely there

The reason boss thwarts the initial

carelessness of his guard and

flies

in vain. The Gestapo tries to

catch him again.

The reason boss also tries in vain to

contact the headquarters in Moscow

and warn against the Gestapo's radio game,

but Moscow has already

leaked information that is

clearly discriminatory against the grand boss and

leaves him no chance to

justify it. The headquarters in Moscow

pushes out the stairs

Germans and hunted by his own

comrades, the boss disappears underground

[Music]

by the director a child. Avoid

any contact with Otto. Try not

to meet Otto under any circumstances

Traitors, take over the

entire organization immediately and move

your headquarters to Paris.

Congratulations, you know, she's done it,

now she's in business in China.

So we're moving our radio silence from

Marseille to Paris, the two of us are

now in the great shop together with

everything in there from the Russian

secret service to to the resistance sabotage squads

where is otto

how can you save yourself when you are being

hunted by friend and enemy at the same time

you have to hide completely and believe you will never

appear again

The raw material is and

remains missing to me. You killed him

like a big bird and cash registers and

now it's my turn to talk.

You don't know any nonsense. You know exactly that the

county was so important to us. We did

n't kill him here

Not alone, yes, I know

Margaret is Jewish. How long do you think you

can blackmail me with this?

Now you are too important for us.

We won't kill

you both.

You now have to expand the organization.

You need couriers for

news collector radio

operator group leader

we will provide you with enough money

to buy all potential agents

throughout France and when

everything is organized the

Gestapo only needs to drive up and collect the people. Do

you

still not understand what I want?

We have been playing with open cards so far

I trust him and you can trust me,

so

there is a certain proud

code name, for example, it's supposed to be a liter won, the

name of your comrades who were dropped off

as a spy in France at the beginning of the war

and there laid out white now it takes

a while it's done they want to

rebuild it the headquarters in Moscow

have expressed the desire to get in touch with people like that

if they walk around with a face like that

no one believes him, they're the big

man from the headquarters they're more

self-confident and that's fine

is also your brand

I am a non-smoker but your

wife my wife died of pneumonia 16 months ago

she should

yes if she knows

that is Paulmann secretary and that is

Mister Jan a bodyguard

probably what to drink

you didn't understand keep it more

familiar once you

understood

it wasn't easy to find you should

yes for half a year I have had

instructions from the director you should

join my organization

under which password

I have it in writing please make sure

that's all

if If you want to see more,

unfortunately I can't offer you a letter of recommendation from Stalin personally.

That's not necessary.

What do you expect from me?

We want to put our organization on a

broader basis and

all anti-fascist forces to fight

against the Nazi occupation summarize

the headquarters gives you the order to

thaw your group again and

establish contacts with other groups I know the head of the

group Mitridate is in the south of France.

Our early infantry is looking at whether you

but his people are completely isolated and

have no means to continue their fight,

which means they need money money and

weapons but primarily money how

many

for the beginning around 10,000

give him 12,000

bring them with you as soon as

possible yes

and

before you take action I also need

the list of your people the headquarters

in Moscow would like to check

you have understood me

you are welcome to bring up the list

[music]

under Sturmführer

I will stay in the garden for a moment

and understand you can go directly to

chip and if If you allow yourself to

make me your basement again, it's

just a matter of pointing out the communists.

I'm now playing the man from the

headquarters of the resistance groups.

I'm giving them money and radios to

share orders

the comrades think they work for

Moscow and in reality they play

completely where you meet no

chances he has given his word of honor

none of us will be executed as long as

you are in work

if you don't want to

who guarantees me that breaks will keep his word

if that The whole team is around

all resistance to get my hand

if they manage to

roll up the whole underground through me, I'm

the biggest pig that has lived here,

maybe you should escape,

do as your business does,

you know it's not possible to

get you out of there early Just get out of the way if you

change your mind,

carry a round,

for example, you're a shame for me

nowotny

if you prove yourself I'll make sure

that the death sentence is annulled.

I can't offer more than that. I do

n't know if this group is an

accepted crime council, the group with

advice has joined the Russian

intelligence service and

if you know the radio operator asked you do

n't have to send a French person, he

got someone from the Czech Republic with

more experience and

where do I come from exactly where they are

Really here they come from Prague They were

radio operators in a communist

resistance group and when

the Gestapo got on their trail

they hid there until the

Russian intelligence service

brought them to France. Of

course they only have to skip the year in prison if it happens to them

hard to imagine that maybe it

would be better to send the french radio

to marseille crime council

in three days they would like to

be out french people are coming no the man has to

come from a country where

credible

investigations and possible

So

please sit there nowotny if you don't want to

I can't help if I can't find a radio operator

he monitors the group for us

and prevents interaction then

we'll drive to Marseille and raise the whole

company house quite simply do

you want that

I think for the future It

would be useful for the party if 30 40 people

remained alive.

Where should I report in Marseille,

actually back inside? Everything is

prepared. The

day after tomorrow, Captain the Sound,

the head of the group, will come to see you with Rita Thies

and bring you the first

radio messages

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

from nitrite ates on Known in German

officer circles, one is convinced that

the German forces stationed in the Marseille Toulon area

are in the version not in a position to

offer serious resistance

Lack of anti-tank guns and

operational infantry ring. The

tanks stationed here are outdated and

mostly in need of repair.

Source Officer's conversations in the Casino

Marseille

[laughter]

yes

[Music]

[Applause]

We have no objection to your plans.

Commission readers

on the Lyon-Marseille route to

determine what defensive

preparations are being made there and

whether the bridges are equipped with explosive devices.

This is the bridge

on both sides of the pillar, the explosive

chambers if you If you want to attach the loads

you have to go over the

bridge railing, so

we need two people to work under the bridge

and four to risk the ropes and

agree with that, what's going on?

capsize we should explore the bridge there

wasn't any talk of blowing it up he

certainly won't have anything against it maybe

it does or do you know if the bridge

wasn't needed if the Americans landon

if the German stocks they blow the

thing up anyway but you can do

that if you have any questions It doesn't cost anything,

so to be honest, I don't want to report it until

later, otherwise we'll be

like idiots if things don't

work out. We can't wait to see

what comes to mind. Poland, who's in charge here

if it doesn't work out for you Fits

you bear the responsibility special

knows will hold you accountable

so what is it let's talk the bridge

I will let you know in good time

from nowotny on breaks readers and rebland

to blow up railway bridge over canal at la mano next meeting Wednesday

5 p.m. radio silence made between

matter and cassis

[music]

and yet we also have to go through this

group for

about half an hour.

We have to avoid the main street,

even if that means a detour,

people of us

take you through our we are

king is but what then you love

surprise why is there no guard

lost did you know that we are here

we are here to routinely check the radio silence

you other

headquarters you are at a meeting

it is a bridge blowing up we

prepare for a major action ford

the bridge belongs to them please I

ask who owns the bridge that

wanted to blow up

or the Nazi criminals

the bridge is the property of the people

and let it be destroyed

and the People in the village at the bridge, what

happens to them? Did

you ask them if they were prepared to

endure Gestapo actions?

Do you know what happens to people

when a rusty rifle or

ammo is discovered?

The man there can tell you something

happened enjoyed

he has experience he knows what it looks like

when the pigs from the Gestapo and SS

round up the people and infect the village

have you thought about it or are

you Petty bourgeois anarchists who do

n't care.

So far you have done good work,

provided first-class information.

The headquarters has

announced a recognition bonus for you. Stay

with this work.

We need information, nothing

else.

Liberation from Hitler's fascism

requires not only courage but also

revolutionary discipline. The bridge will

not be blown up

Is that clear?

I ask myself all the time why they

do that.

They are certainly not a communist,

but they still work with a

communist to protect the

resistance groups from annihilation,

why

from that Hearts are probably not interested in the fate of the

resistance movement.

What is of interest is

that both of us, you and I,

get through the next few rounds in one piece, which is why

I, you are more important than you think,

yours and my career is starting to become a

mobile phone. What do you have in mind about

that? I can't do that now Talk to them

but you will find out. Do you

still believe that Germany is winning the war?

I don't think so anymore.

It's about more than me or my head.

Bologna Brescia Buer presses Marseille

as a communist agent

and everyone under my control,

how long do you mean that you

are safe until the added land

you can never

get excited about is that now all the

resistance bigwigs

want to have their action quickly so that they

can show later what we had they were,

how strong they are You have your own name in

antiquity

then you are currently starting an action

cashier who enjoys a break before it is too late

I have not

set up the device to smash it now of all times

if we are not there that it

is you to me your methods if A

private underground army becomes self-employed

then no tail helps,

you can have ten times the permission from

Berlin to try something new, it

's your turn if it goes wrong,

so who uses an organization because it's

the nice thing the guys do, what they

plan, they know their connections, well

that We'll get out of it much quicker

if we put them through the wringer

as completely as Hamann, who sits on the

powder keg to make the deal and

every bit of

news of my agenda on the

Channel coast burns

everything About the anti-Russian attitude of

Anglo-American officers and

politicians, what's the point of that? We're

transmitting to Moscow.

Well, it's also incredibly important that I

knew about the Americans that

we'll have to live with that one day.

Yes,

what does that mean? Your friend

wants to travel that he means that

every woman sometimes doesn't need

[applause]

why do you want to go away who I do

n't want to go away either they are now taking me to the

concentration camp claiming that the water

wanted to go to her It's devices and don't

stay together whoever gets these resources

from who from us Germans I only

found out an hour ago that the

rest on board and Jews were put together

in the concentration camp

was not too they didn't go to the concentration camp they are

going to Karlsruhe prepared with all the papers

they told me that they

need me when the war is over and

alive yes

they have all the papers right now passport why

everything they need to leave the country

I want see all the papers

live here guarantee now immediately that is

your right

we both know you and I are

dependent on each other

we can allow ourselves the slightest mistakes

by suspiciously seeing the mistakes

that can no longer be made right I

ask you to trust me I do the

same

woman won't do anything Happened

I love Madrid

[Music]

with had

from Kent onwards in the Battle of

Normandy, 95,000

German soldiers and 2000 officers

including 28 generals went over

to the English and

Americans after a short apparent resistance - in German

officer circles it is quite common

According to reports from German informants,

Hitler was determined to give the Allies

a lightning bolt to the Rhine,

almost like a holiday, we're going on July 14th,

everything is leaving Paris, we're moving

ahead with a department that

doesn't have the linearity, just to be

on the

safe side Keep it

free is the slogan, it

fits well with a talisman.

Today, early in the morning, we heard for the

first time the voice of George,

like that of the National Resistance Council,

of course, really free The city spent

the whole day

instead of

the jubilant citizens

but rather the service fighting the moral

attitude and bound to this

the right over

their bivouac we camouflage their

vehicles get straw again

strict order no fire no light

take over the first watch peter haab to

lead like the second vacation

[applause]

Gene Sperling says calculate how tel

we have to be there for another 40 kilometers

Yes, Hauptsturmführer said

because otherwise you say ask yourself

thoughts actually not you are

the head of

the quarters how much

this one they are that nice

maybe if we have a château for you

are happy with it

from Kent to director as we have reliably

learned that numerous

American bombers refuse Crews

continue to fly attacks against Nazi

Germany. Senior officers are

said to sympathize with the mutineers

and take the view that it is not

the job of the Allied Air Force

can Stalin free the way to Berlin

to bomb

[laughter]

[music]

[laughter]

[music]

from the director on knows your work

deserves the highest recognition

try to bring

your best German

informants to us after the end of the fighting we

need them for the construction of the new

Germany,

this is now the third time that

the Russian woman has been on her way to join us.

What do you think about it?

Go back

and

what do you do? If I were

you, I would go to Spain

or

them Switzerland

is the safest way across the

border and Laura Garavini it's so easy

that you can get them

from the comrades from the Gestapo from the

Siko

all in the direction of Reichsstrasse West

if I had the choice, breaks not

also to the west,

now it's best that

they don't have them yet Choice

for your luck

there is one opened on the Reichsstrasse

Horst

and it's called break

tomorrow morning I'm flying to Berlin

you know

why you

forgot

them back

they're coming back but

they'll still be there

I I have to justify myself,

hopefully you'll either not be able to

do that at all or you'll

actually be waiting for

[applause]

[applause]

sorry for having to wait.

The Reichsführer and the head of the

Reich Security Main Office have had the

radio messages from Moscow checked carefully,

especially the radio message that they

know is also demanding

Bringing his German informants with him to the war

They are obviously right,

that is, they want to go over to the Russians,

what do you think about that?

He thinks the idea of ​​world Bolshevism is

so fascinating that he doesn't tell anyone ss

man is confessed to go to war with the

russians it

's not your view either group leader

my view is not up for

debate here I only have orders to protect you from

your plans

take

the documents on the phoenix case a

juicy file It contains detailed information

about the agreement between the USA and

France in February,

after which Americans refused

to land in France if there

was a communist government

there The protocols about the anti-Russian

attitude of Allied generals and

resistance fighters

will certainly be

of interest in Moscow and here is material about

the intentions of certain American

circles to proceed after the war If you

go to the Russians you can really use it

[applause]

[music]

taps

petrol pump totally clogged no wonder

with this shitty petrol

Blow again for a moment, drive on calmly, we'll come

the marching orders,

thank you,

so much being said, it's

pretty much mixed up. The last

otherwise you will be for them it's

not about me I know it's not about

them it's simply about the

future of our peoples oh yes Yes, you

heard right, we should

try to talk to the Russians

separately, like crazy,

only Tallinn said that the Hitlers

come and go, the German people but

that remains. They want to go to the Russians,

they are a functionary on the left If you

know radio messages from directors,

try to bring your best German informants after the end of the war.

We need them to build the

new Germany.

Either you are incredibly clever and

displeased. You decide that

this war is ruining our people and

that the Western powers have the advantage.

They won't only with us but

also with your people who have been bled dry, it's

all about you know the Russians

don't use them on the spot shoot

the sweat is even broken in a support

have their car in order straight away She said

Maier wanted me to pass the registration

as

that's not the case yet, they think I'm sure

I'll do what I tell him,

my files, it's just not fair

if you have to do a lot more training after these papers they

say they have their value for the OC

always only make statements here too

are proof the

road is now finally free then

we drive on why can't we

continue driving the warm light command

we go from half an hour on

they

are having fireworks here they have something I've heard something from low-flying planes and

I think they see her eyes. I

think we want to

let ourselves cool down because of her damn act. She's

not going to climb like they did on me.

She can do that to the others

but not to me. That's

crazy. There's a fire here Do it

in the open field, take me by the

ass. Do you have a bland comparison?

Do you think I

probably still taking them down to the posts? Should

I tell you what the paths are?

I try to keep ours out of it

so far it's been going on

where you are not afraid I was able to get into your

pocket because it's clear and run away you

don't remember the connections,

you can't do anything

and I'm careful

with whom he knows the connections, it's

proof that he's a traitor

so the Gestapo worked together with

me I assume you have given me such

material,

I can prove that you only appeared to be

involved in order to

spy on the Gestapo's actions in order to be

able to save the lives of your people,

then I heard Großvogel

Maximowitz

Roberto dem Business was

the pig is Yes, already in civil

they would become or their next

opportunity. He wanted gold

discovery to have crime

cut off the empire and stand between

themselves and the things said that they are in

the suburbs damn gates and the

States pass on or

between that and cities the

roosters have exactly the fortified

bases just as proudly have

taken proud damage the western

defense alliance of Hamelin also

held its ground in yesterday's heavy fighting There were only

a few break-ins in a few places.

Defense

units are working. I'm in favor of us staying here in

Konstanz. Back to Switzerland.

We'll wait until the Americans have to

be here for a few days.

I wouldn't get together with the Americans under any circumstances.

I want to go to Berlin to

the Russians you only have one

option:

go into the Alps and

disappear until the first big

mess is pointed out.

Let's take a look, boss,

if you offer to organize,

you'll be down in three hours Switzerland

as far as I know let the chamberlain

they have closed the border the

dear Seutter

he has to go back to the castle mighty not

sit

has should have got in now stays

with them

I that means who doesn't know go

Berlin that had meets but great

have behind Austria Capital

is shrinking more and more, unfortunately not in

the bottom eleven there is talk of a collapse of

the German postal service, the

German government associations are

clearly expecting an occupation of the empire

east of the Elbe by the roses en

masse in some

places the war seems to be

nearing its end

wanted to occupy earlier and British

troops the cities

is now everything is going according to plan

they are fine they have not

put anyone to the knife they have

actually

they actually have no one ready

their name

has no reputation

After all, I have to know

if we

let's say

we go to the Russians,

they can prove that they just said

yes,

they have no other choice. Their people

will find them everywhere, in every

corner of the world.

They know what that means

Without me you are a Gestapo that

will always be put against the wall and without me you are a

Soviet spy who

has defected to the enemy and who is worth being put against the wall,

everyone is a dead man for themselves, so

both of them together we still have a

chance to get through and

maybe a little more

[music]

a day with a mask in terms of reporting on your own initiative,

give that through

[applause]

[applause]

counter on the bench

[music]

so

a child should have

difficulties outpost on the

channel coast see no

more need to work underground want

recognition as a resistance group please

agree to

know should

we appeal to your communist

discipline

and expect you to

stay at your posts

it is of the utmost importance for the Soviet Union

inform me about everything about

Find out everything

that's going on behind the Allied lines in

Cologne, come to Cologne as quickly as possible because

the Führer's headquarters are

reporting that

our Führer Adolf Hitler is

in his squad this afternoon Reich

Chancellery

fighting against Bolshevism to the last breath for

Germany fell

on April 30th, he

appointed Grand Admiral Dönitz as his successor

German men and women

soldiers of the German Wehrmacht

Our leader Adolf Hitler fell

in

deepest mourning and awe,

the German people bow down

He had recognized early on the terrible danger

of Bolshevism and, in the end,

dedicated himself

to this struggle His fight and his

unswervingly straight path in life stand for

his heroic death in the capital of the

German Empire. His life was a

single service for Germany.

His commitment in the fight against the

Bolshevik storm surge was also valid for

Europe and the entire cultural

world

[Music].

Then they'll come back why

I thought that if you

find the radio hidden, don't look any further for the

other radio, maybe I can

bring my baby through the fact that Moscow was

n't broadcasting But as far as Paris

or Marseille, on the right, and there

you still have the comrades from the

communist parties, the button, they

can forward your radio message

directly, but what's to

come, thank you, that's clear, capital city, it

will only be over for good

[music]

Captain Zulauf from the Red Army

I have orders to

confiscate everything and bring you and your

companions to the headquarters

what does that mean you want to arrest us

I protest on behalf of the Red Army

I Just carry out my orders

until everything is clarified, we will

ensure your safety

from Kent onwards, you should immediately forward it

to Moscow to the director. The French

have arrested us. We are currently

in the military government building in

Lindau. Request immediate reports from the

Soviet liaison officers in Paris. They

expect to be liberated As soon as possible

we congratulate and greet the Red Army on its

glorious victory over the fascist

aggressors the Soviet

people
