00:01:16Boy, look at the apple. I would like to have it. Do you have any money?
00:01:29No, I do not have money, but I am hungry.
00:01:32Hermann, watch those boys.
00:01:38Take it, go on, grab it.
00:01:47Put that apple down.
00:01:54What's going on?
00:01:56Somebody stole something.
00:02:01He belongs in a prison.
00:02:03Settle down.
00:02:05You want to put a boy in prison because of an apple?
00:02:09He didn't even eat it. He didn't even take a bite out of it.
00:02:14He had nothing of the apple.
00:02:18What's going on? Who stole something?
00:02:21What, the boy? All of this because of an apple?
00:02:29Oh, get out of here, just an apple.
00:02:35Proletarians, today the boy got spanked, but all of us have taken a beating.
00:02:42And why? Because you are hungry.
00:02:54Look, proletarians, everything is just sitting around that you need, sitting on shelves in the stores, while you go hungry.
00:03:02Why don't you just take what you need?
00:03:13What do you want from me? I haven't done anything to you.
00:03:37The police.
00:03:42The police.
00:03:49Quick, hide yourselves.
00:04:03Quick, sleep off.
00:04:07What happened to you?
00:04:09I got clobbered. My head is spinning.
00:04:12Where do you live? Here, fifth floor. Come on, then.
00:04:18Come on, I'll help you.
00:04:23You got one really good, didn't you?
00:04:33Just look at that.
00:04:39My God, what have you done now?
00:04:43Don't talk so much.
00:04:51What happened, then?
00:04:54He got hit by a club.
00:04:57You always have to be right in the thick of it. You will bring misfortune down on us.
00:05:01Get some bags and water for bandages.
00:05:05Boy, they really nailed you good.
00:05:10The main thing is they didn't catch us.
00:05:14Here is water and some eggs.
00:05:21Don't get so excited. It's really not that bad.
00:05:29This makes me thirsty.
00:05:34I'm thirsty, too.
00:05:38My boy should fetch us a few bottles of beer.
00:05:42Where is Heini? Heini is at work.
00:05:46The newspaper is almost finished.
00:05:49Finally, I had to wait a long time.
00:05:58You cannot imagine everything we've printed here.
00:06:01Socialist paper, advertisements and forms for the employment office.
00:06:10You have a nice business here.
00:06:13Yes, paper is patient and I am, too.
00:06:17Here you are, Saul.
00:06:20Very good, my boy. Here. Thanks.
00:06:24Bye. Bye.
00:06:27What did he give you? One mug?
00:06:29Goodness, what did he give it to me?
00:06:31Why?
00:06:32Because I handle the negotiations.
00:06:35Oh, I go then, but don't throw away the money.
00:06:38There you are. Fine job.
00:06:40But my head is still hamming.
00:06:42Drink a glass of water.
00:06:44I don't want any water. I want a glass of beer.
00:06:47Here's some money.
00:06:48Ah, money. Very good.
00:06:59Wait a minute.
00:07:05Mother, give me some money.
00:07:08I have no money. I have a headache.
00:07:10No, you're just thirsty.
00:07:12Yes, but that comes from the headache.
00:07:14Give me some money. I have none, but you just finished the laundry.
00:07:17Of course, I have to deliver it.
00:07:19You claim you don't have any money. I bet you've hidden some away. Am I right?
00:07:25I will find it.
00:07:28Stop that. You'll make a big mess.
00:07:30Then give me the money.
00:07:32Now you're yelling again.
00:07:40You've hidden it in the room.
00:07:42Stop that.
00:07:44Where have you hidden the money?
00:07:48For goodness sake.
00:07:54Stop that.
00:07:58I have no money.
00:08:03Leave the photo album alone.
00:08:06Boy, it's a circus here.
00:08:08Stop that with the circus.
00:08:13A woman who deceives her husband. That is something.
00:08:17Stop that. Just give it some time.
00:08:23I tell you, give me the money now.
00:08:27Otherwise I will do something. Do you understand?
00:08:32Now.
00:08:35I'll smash up the room otherwise.
00:08:37Is there a lamp?
00:08:44It's the wrong place.
00:08:53You see? One just has to stand up to women.
00:08:56You have a fine boy.
00:08:58Is he organized yet? Ask him yourself.
00:09:01What is your name?
00:09:03Heini.
00:09:05Are you a member?
00:09:07What do you mean member?
00:09:09A member.
00:09:11No member?
00:09:13Well, it's high time you join us.
00:09:15The International Communist Youth.
00:09:17I am the organizer for this area.
00:09:19Do you understand?
00:09:21Or do you want to become a Nazi?
00:09:23That's funny. My boy a Nazi.
00:09:25What a joke. I'd strike him dead first.
00:09:27My boy a Nazi.
00:09:29That's funny. My boy a Nazi.
00:09:31What a joke. I'd strike him dead first.
00:09:35Come on, let's go.
00:09:37We will talk again, Heini. Goodbye.
00:09:43I cannot stand this anymore.
00:09:59Mother, don't be so sad all the time.
00:10:02Mother, don't be so sad all the time.
00:10:04Mother, don't be so sad all the time.
00:10:06Ah, just let it alone.
00:10:08Ah, just let it alone.
00:10:20Mother?
00:10:22Do you have a penny left?
00:10:24Mother?
00:10:26What do you need a penny for?
00:10:28Well, over on the square,
00:10:30there is a very nice universal pocket knife
00:10:32with eight different kinds of blades.
00:10:36It's not a toy.
00:10:38You've never seen anything like it, Mother.
00:10:43That must cost a lot of money.
00:10:45No, I can win it.
00:10:49I just have to invest one penny.
00:10:51But I need a penny first.
00:10:54Yes.
00:10:59Yes.
00:11:02Yes.
00:11:29Now you have a penny.
00:11:31Mother, thanks a lot.
00:11:33I will certainly win that pocket knife.
00:11:37If you do not risk, you do not win.
00:11:39Come on, ladies and gentlemen.
00:11:41Every spin brings a winner.
00:11:54Now we begin.
00:11:57Just in 40 seconds we begin.
00:12:02Here, I want to play too.
00:12:04Here is a penny.
00:12:10What number is it?
00:12:1271.
00:12:14Who has 71?
00:12:16I do. What if I won?
00:12:18Hey, thanks.
00:12:22How pretty.
00:12:25Next game will soon start.
00:12:28Say, can I buy that knife?
00:12:30Yes. What does it cost?
00:12:32Eight marks.
00:12:39Don't hang your head.
00:12:41If you want that knife,
00:12:43I can get it for you.
00:12:45Didn't I tell you about
00:12:47the international communist youth?
00:12:54Here is a penny.
00:13:16Listen.
00:13:18Tomorrow we are traveling out to the lake.
00:13:20It's green out there.
00:13:22How much does it cost?
00:13:24It doesn't cost any money, understand?
00:13:29You got food and tents?
00:13:31Yes, we've got food and tents.
00:13:33And games, yes.
00:13:37Tomorrow, train station, 3 o'clock.
00:13:53Assemble.
00:14:02Look at them.
00:14:04What kind of kids are they?
00:14:06Those are the Nazis.
00:14:08Oh, this won't be good.
00:14:10They are traveling in the same train we are.
00:14:14I report with our unit to the barn field.
00:14:16Eyes left.
00:14:18Our unit reports.
00:14:20Our unit reports.
00:14:42Remain at attention.
00:14:46Why do they stand there?
00:14:48Are they afraid of you?
00:14:50Afraid? No, quite the opposite.
00:14:52They are full of regulations.
00:15:01Honey, you have selected a great seat.
00:15:08But that is a goal.
00:15:10He notices everything.
00:15:15But don't yell so loud.
00:15:17It doesn't matter.
00:15:19You are a Nazi now.
00:15:35Quiet. I said quiet.
00:15:37I cannot walk.
00:15:39Do you have a match?
00:15:41Coffee.
00:15:43The guys are drunk.
00:15:47Do you have a match?
00:15:51Don't you smoke?
00:15:53Indeed, but I don't want to now.
00:15:55One time. Two times.
00:16:01Here you go.
00:16:03Can I take it away?
00:16:15You are not going to drink schnapps with me?
00:16:17Boy, at the end you won't even have a goal.
00:16:19Who do I need a girlfriend for?
00:16:21Oh, come on.
00:16:23Don't be like that.
00:16:29Honey, do you want to play?
00:16:35Come on, sit here.
00:16:37You are playing cards.
00:16:39I don't know how.
00:16:41Oh, then get lost.
00:16:51That was you.
00:16:53I recognize your paw.
00:17:21THE END
00:17:51Comrades!
00:17:53Today is the summer solstice.
00:17:55Stop there, boy.
00:17:57Among these blazing logs
00:17:59our thoughts rise into the night
00:18:01over Germany.
00:18:03Germany that lies in slave chains.
00:18:05Germany that lies in slave chains.
00:18:07Germany that lies in slave chains.
00:18:09Germany that lies in slave chains.
00:18:11Germany that lies in slave chains.
00:18:13Germany that lies in slave chains.
00:18:15Germany that lies in slave chains.
00:18:17Germany that lies in slave chains.
00:18:19Germany that lies in slave chains.
00:18:21Germany that we, young and old, will break.
00:18:23Germany that we, young and old, will break.
00:18:25Tonight, we renew our oath of loyalty
00:18:27Tonight, we renew our oath of loyalty
00:18:29Tonight, we renew our oath of loyalty
00:18:31to the Fuhrer and his idea.
00:18:33Sieg. Heil.
00:18:35Sieg. Heil.
00:18:37Sieg. Heil.
00:18:41Look who we met.
00:18:43What's up with the boy?
00:18:45He was spying on us.
00:18:47us. What spying? You, I have seen you before. Yes, at the train station with a communist.
00:18:57I am not a communist. Don't tell us any tales. Go on, get out of here, right now. Why were
00:19:07you so coarse with the boy? Because his conscience was not clean. That was obvious from the start.
00:19:13He didn't look bad to me, I must say. He might have liked it by us. Nonsense. We saw him
00:19:19this morning at the train station with the Reds, and that is enough.
00:19:50Raise the flag.
00:20:13March.
00:20:19I.D.! I.D.!
00:20:49Can I catch a ride? Jump up in the back.
00:21:19Hello, mother. Heine, I thought you would not return until this evening. How did you like it?
00:21:36Mother, it was great. What did Stolpel do with you guys? Stolpel? What is it, Heine?
00:21:46But mother, I was with the others. What others? The boys with the swastika. By the Nazis?
00:21:53Yes. Oh, my boy. But mother, they are not so bad. They roasted food and swam and sang.
00:22:04They sang a song. How did it go? I couldn't have forgotten it. Wait a minute. Now I have
00:22:11it. Our flag flies before us. We march into the future, man for man. We march for Hitler
00:22:21through night and need. With the flag of the youth before us for freedom and bread. And
00:22:27our flag flies before us. And our flag is the new time. Our flag... What are you singing
00:22:40there? Those are the Nazis. Where did you learn that? Leave the boy alone. If something
00:22:46is going to be sung, then like this. Peoples, hear the signals. Sing along for the last
00:22:53battle. Can't you sing? You can't sing? Sing! Peoples, hear the signals for the last battle.
00:23:07Can't you sing? I will teach it to you. Peoples, hear the signals for the last battle. Peoples,
00:23:20hear the signals for the last battle. The international fights for human rights.
00:23:49Be careful distributing those flyers. The communists are sure to come. What are you
00:23:53looking at? Oh, I see. Well, can't I look at those? Go over to the other entrance.
00:24:16You must be crazy. What do you want, you fascist? We will see you tomorrow. Young workers,
00:24:27appendices, rise up and fight against. There is the fellow who took off. Where did you
00:24:33go all that time? I just went out. You will come with us again, yes? No, I have no time.
00:24:41We could have a drink together. No, I can't. Goodbye. Boy, are you dumb. See that boy
00:24:49though? Which one? The one distributing the flyer, the Nazi. He is due. But I don't like
00:24:55him at all. Just get him ready. Nothing else. Understand? Go. Oh, I'm going already. You,
00:25:05come here with your leaflets. Can I have one? Certainly. And another one? Yes. And another
00:25:13one? My leaflets, why? Because now you are finished. You have a cigarette? Of course.
00:25:27Hello. Don't I recognize you? Yes, from the lake. What do you want? I want to join you.
00:25:37Fabulous. But I don't have time right now. I have to go home. You can come along if you
00:25:43want to. I live right around the corner. No, I'm hungry for a donut. Where can we get one?
00:25:53Over there. Come on. Okay, well, let's go then.
00:26:04Well, this is where we live. My father has probably gone to a meeting. Have you eaten
00:26:10something yet? No? Well, then you can eat with us.
00:26:13That's my sister sitting in the kitchen. Hola. I have brought a guest. Supper is just about
00:26:30ready. This is Heini. She wants to become one of our comrades. That's good news. Everyone
00:26:42is welcome here.
00:26:56From the Beusestraße, 56, 9 o'clock. We're opening a new home. A real home? Yes, it's
00:27:02just not solid, but we made it nice. In the Beusestraße? But it is full of Communists.
00:27:09That's exactly why. But what if I can't get away from home? Just try to. If you try hard,
00:27:14you can do it. Yes, I will come. Before we can accept your boy into the International
00:27:21Communist Youth, we need your signature. Why my signature? It's just a formality. As a
00:27:27father, you must approve. Don't you want to ask the boy first whether he wants to? What
00:27:34do you mean if he wants to? There's no question if he wants to. He's lucky to be accepted.
00:27:46Everything is in order.
00:27:48What was Stoppel doing here? He was with your father. What did he want? Father will tell
00:28:06you. Stoppel says you should go to the party headquarters at about 9 o'clock. What am I
00:28:19supposed to do there? You'll find out then. Don't I need a house key? Of course you get
00:28:26a house key. You are joining the party. You're becoming a grown-up man, so to speak, and
00:28:33a grown-up man needs a house key. Come here, my boy. Sit down. I want to speak with you.
00:28:46There's a lot you do not fully understand. But we proletarians must protect ourselves.
00:28:58That's it. We didn't always live like this, your mother, me and you. We had better days
00:29:09in the past, but I fell off the ladder. I wanted to do more for you. Many times when
00:29:24my head's not cloudy, I imagine things could have turned out better. But no employment
00:29:32for years, no income, and now, well, now you young people must help us. You must stand
00:29:44by us old friends. Otherwise we cannot make it. Do you understand? I cannot collect unemployment
00:29:54forever. Have you understood me? Yes, father. Well, here is your house key. Your father
00:30:09means well by you, my boy. Now get over there to your party. Well, was it bad, my boy? Father
00:30:23isn't really so bad, mother. Father is totally different. What should I do? He has given
00:30:32me a house key. I cannot lie to him anymore. What should I do? Tell me. It would be good
00:30:41if you follow your father. But I cannot. One can do everything, Heine. You just have to
00:30:55make an effort. In life you cannot always do what you want to. But I don't want to join
00:30:59the communists. I want to join the others. Another is joining tonight, the little guy
00:31:03from recently, the saucer celebration. Him? We will sing so loud that the whole room will
00:31:10shake. Yes, the communists will spit with rage. Hopefully you'll like it here with us.
00:31:16If you need anything, just come upstairs. Yes, thank you. Good evening. Good evening.
00:31:26Boy, you've done a good job fixing this room up. Who is supposed to be on guard duty outside?
00:31:35This is unbelievable. You sit there and play. Now we will have the communists down on us.
00:31:55Listen, lads. Each of you must be at his post. That must be cleared out. Understand?
00:32:55Heine, come here. It's good that you've come. Now you can take part in something. Do you
00:33:06hear them singing? They have sung enough. But shut him off. Come here. What a girl I
00:33:26cannot. Where are you going? Alone. Alone.
00:33:56The police are coming.
00:34:08What have you done? You provoked them. If you had not opened up the shop, there would
00:34:28never have been any trouble. The clocksmith who pulled the stolen watch. You, Major, arrested
00:34:33the clockmaker because the watchmaker provoked him. What do you mean? Well, he put the watch
00:34:38in the display window. Ha, you did a good job memorizing that. All right, get out of
00:34:44here. Go on, go on, go home. What is your name? Can't you talk? You are supposed to
00:35:06tell me your name. I don't want to. Come on, boy. Sit down here. Why don't you want to
00:35:13tell me your name? I'm afraid it will get in the newspaper. You should have thought
00:35:17of that before. But it didn't have anything to do with it. He was caught at the scene
00:35:21of this crime. I just passed him through by quitsense. Where were you going? Home. Well,
00:35:26you don't really look like a gunslinger. Okay, Marge, go home. Tomorrow. You still here?
00:35:35Get lost. Oh, so you're the man. I am not. You sent the communists after us. You are
00:35:43a spy, a fool, a devil. Are you alone? The boss took Master here? No, he's gone. Oh,
00:35:59yeah, finish. I'm counting on you this evening. Why me? Because you conducted yourself splendidly,
00:36:06my lad. You kept quiet with the police. Good job. I need you this evening. What's going
00:36:11on? Tonight, we do a full job. Know the old fact at the Mausstrasse? That's where we keep
00:36:16our bonbons. You know, everything you need for a wedding. A little dynamite, guns, ammunition.
00:36:24You know something? We have a score to settle with the Nazis some recently. That thing with
00:36:29the hit the youth in the Bundesstrasse was just a half measure. You want to attack the
00:36:35boys again? Oh, attack, what do you mean? With weapons? Of course. You can't do that.
00:36:42You have nothing to laugh about. I'm serious. Listen, I'll do something about it. I'll warn
00:36:48the boys. Listen, that is something you can do just one time. Do you understand? Just
00:36:57one time. If you try it, then this is that one time. Boy, are you correct? Remember,
00:37:08Be punctual. Yes? Who is it? Is it Ola? Listen, I'm not a traitor. At the Grabowski Bridge
00:37:29and the old fact in the Mausstrasse. Who are you talking to? Heini Völkow. What? With that
00:37:38bomb? That spy? Do you hear me? They have something planned against you. Listen, they
00:37:43have guns and dynamite. Ola, dynamite. Hang up. You understand me, Olga? Are you still
00:37:53Do you understand me? Come on, we have to go. He said dynamite. Ah, sure, it's some trick,
00:38:00some kind of trap. I don't know, we must do something. Maybe there's something to it.
00:38:04Empty talk. I'm worried about the boys. Policemen are not nice, forget the youth. Maybe it would
00:38:10be better if you went home and did your school walk. I see no reason to take action.
00:38:16Juris? He's not at home. Have you seen any of the youth? No, I haven't seen any.
00:39:16That was in the Mausstrasse. Mausstrasse? Mausstrasse? Where are you going? I want to
00:39:36see what happened in the Mausstrasse. Why are you so excited? Something is up in the
00:39:42Mausstrasse. What's happened there? Mausstrasse. Forward, forward, come on. What's up? The
00:39:53police are there. The whole depot has been blown up. Were some of our people arrested?
00:40:00Yes, many of them. It's a big mess. Somebody must have squealed on us. We will get him.
00:40:11My husband is not home. What do you want? I told you my husband is not home. What do
00:40:39you want? Turn off the light. Why? Do it. Why are you staring at me? Are you being pursued?
00:41:08Yes. By whom? Our side commission. Don't worry, they won't catch me. Could you do something
00:41:20like that? Like what? Kill people? This is a strange question from you. It depends on
00:41:37the circumstances. If somebody squeals on me, then it's over. That is not something
00:41:47for the homicide commission. That is a law in nature. Why do you say that? Because somebody
00:42:05squealed on me. The police? No, the Nazis. The Nazis? Yes, the Nazis. Where is your Heini?
00:42:24Don't get so excited. I only want Heini. Something in the head that must be Lord. I'm glad you are not Heini.
00:42:54Well, don't talk to me from the side. Who was it? A dumb boy.
00:43:25You did that, Heini? Yes, mother. I saved the boys. Why are you crying, mother? Just watch. Now everything will turn out fine.
00:43:46Yes. Everything will be fine.
00:43:50Heini? Heini? Just get those boys out of your head. They do not want you.
00:44:20Now they will accept me. I have shown my loyalty to them. Make up the Stoppel, please. Come to an agreement with them. Otherwise everything is finished.
00:44:33But mother, this is just the beginning. There is only one thing. The boy must be killed. What? Kill a boy? Have you ever had children?
00:44:46He deserves a good spanking. That's all. I don't give a hoot about the boy. Understand? I will take care of the matter myself all alone. You can count on that.
00:45:46Heini? Heini?
00:46:16Heini?
00:46:46Heini?
00:47:16Heini?
00:47:46Heini?
00:48:16Well, my boy, did you sleep well?
00:48:31Nos, we just made it.
00:48:41Am I sick?
00:48:45Bad luck. You inhaled gas from the lighting system. The line must have had a leak at your home.
00:48:53Now you want to feed him well, so his sick blood will get better.
00:49:19Where is my mother?
00:49:21You should eat, not talk, my boy.
00:49:26Did she ask about me at all?
00:49:29Who, my mother?
00:49:31Don't worry about your mother. Forced one you to get better.
00:49:43The room is finished. I'll clean up the kitchen later.
00:49:48It smells like beer in here. We need fresh air in here.
00:49:54I have brought food. Do you want something to eat?
00:50:00Heini, you have a visit.
00:50:03My mother?
00:50:08They have brought flowers too.
00:50:14Hey, there he is.
00:50:18Heini, I come on behalf of the bomb cure and the unit.
00:50:24You still look a little pale.
00:50:28We want to apologize to you for what we said at the police station.
00:50:32Since then we have learned the truth.
00:50:35Are you still angry with us?
00:50:39Good. Well, Heini, you have done us a great service.
00:50:44We want you to join my unit if you still want to.
00:50:50To good comradeship.
00:50:55Ola.
00:50:58Well, open it.
00:51:04All of you have gone crazy.
00:51:10Well, Heini, here is a meal.
00:51:18Real cool. Thanks a lot.
00:51:26Is there something in there?
00:51:29We collected the money for you.
00:51:32There is something in the other pocket too.
00:51:36Real cool.
00:51:40Visiting time is over.
00:51:44Good bye, Heini. We will visit you again.
00:51:49Good bye.
00:51:56Fine. Now we will neatly put away the uniform.
00:52:00But I want to wear it so my mother can see it.
00:52:03Your mother will not come.
00:52:05Why not?
00:52:06She cannot.
00:52:08Cannot? Why not?
00:52:10If you stay calm, then I will tell you how your mother is.
00:52:16Yes.
00:52:19Back when you were with your mother in the kitchen.
00:52:22At night.
00:52:25And there was gas.
00:52:28Gas?
00:52:30Yes.
00:52:31And your mother became very sick.
00:52:34Just like you.
00:52:37Is she still alive?
00:52:41Is she still alive?
00:52:47Dead?
00:52:54The sewing machine, the cabinet, the desk, the chairs.
00:53:01No, leave the chairs.
00:53:03Find them, find them, take them.
00:53:06Just get out of here with that stuff.
00:53:09I don't want to see it anymore.
00:53:12Come here.
00:53:13Here are the 30 marks.
00:53:16That's a lot of money.
00:53:18Oh yeah, sure, 30 marks, that's a lot of money.
00:53:31Is that all?
00:53:34What about the bed?
00:53:36Take it all, get the stuff out of here.
00:53:41Oh, another 30 marks, yes.
00:53:50Hey, not that bed.
00:53:54That belongs to my boy.
00:53:59But you sold it.
00:54:01Sold, take your money back.
00:54:04Not my boy.
00:54:11Little Heidi Filker is recovering very slowly.
00:54:15He cannot forget his mother.
00:54:18Don't you want to play with us?
00:54:20No.
00:55:05Heidi Filker is in the garden, please come.
00:55:16Where are you going?
00:55:18To Heidi Filker?
00:55:20What, to my son?
00:55:22Oh, you are the father.
00:55:34There he is.
00:55:41Hello, Heidi.
00:55:54So, my boy, how goes it?
00:55:57Okay, how are you?
00:55:59Fine.
00:56:01Well, there's another one.
00:56:09Well, Heidi, the father says you can leave if you want to.
00:56:14Where shall I go?
00:56:16What a question. To your father, where you belong.
00:56:19That is precisely the question.
00:56:21Where does the boy belong?
00:56:23I had very good parents, but when I was 15 I left home.
00:56:28I wanted to be a ship captain's boy, see an island, pirates in Africa.
00:56:34Thousands of boys left home.
00:56:36Those were lousy boys.
00:56:38Boys are splendid.
00:56:40They have always been special.
00:56:42They always wanted to become foretrappers or visit gypsies.
00:56:47One day they had a big desire that grabbed them to travel.
00:56:52Where does a boy belong?
00:56:55Ask your own boy.
00:56:59Well, tell us.
00:57:02I don't know whether you were in the field.
00:57:04Oh, I sure was, and how.
00:57:06Three million lads volunteered back then.
00:57:09Each had a father and a mother.
00:57:11And where did they belong?
00:57:15I am a simple man.
00:57:17I am a proletarian.
00:57:19But you must have heard something about the movement.
00:57:24Movement?
00:57:27Jump up, march, march.
00:57:29That was my movement until I got shot.
00:57:32Then I was put in a cast.
00:57:34Afterward it was another movement.
00:57:36Bones bent, then straight, then bent, then straight.
00:57:41Then I went to the unemployment office week after week and year after year.
00:57:45That was my movement.
00:57:46Otherwise nothing moved me.
00:57:48I even got fat because I had nothing to do but sit around.
00:57:53Where do I belong?
00:57:55To my class comrades.
00:57:57My boy belongs there, too.
00:57:59To your class comrades?
00:58:01You mean the international?
00:58:04Yes, to the international.
00:58:07Where were you born?
00:58:10Berlin.
00:58:12Berlin.
00:58:14On the Spree?
00:58:16Yes, on the Spree.
00:58:18But where?
00:58:20But where? In what country?
00:58:25Well, in Germany, of course.
00:58:28In Germany?
00:58:30Yes.
00:58:32In our Germany.
00:58:35Think about that.
00:58:51So, Heinim, this is where you will live.
00:58:54That is Guta, your roommate.
00:58:57This is Heini Volkow.
00:58:59He is alone in the world, like you.
00:59:02Watch out for him.
00:59:05Make yourself comfortable.
00:59:08Hitler.
00:59:22Cigarette?
00:59:23No.
00:59:25Why not?
00:59:32Who is the chick?
00:59:34That is not a chick.
00:59:36That is the unit commander and his sister.
00:59:42She looks very good to me.
00:59:44Very good indeed.
00:59:48You are a fine comrade.
00:59:55Where is the boy?
00:59:58I don't know. Since he released him, I haven't seen him.
01:00:06Tell me something.
01:00:08Tell me something.
01:00:10Say, for example,
01:00:12Say, for example,
01:00:14I put there
01:00:16I put there
01:00:18an English beer.
01:00:20an English beer.
01:00:22And over here I put a good German light beer.
01:00:25And over here I put a good German light beer.
01:00:28Which one would you pick?
01:00:30Which one would you pick?
01:00:32Which one would you pick?
01:00:34Which one would you drink?
01:00:38The German beer, of course.
01:00:40The German beer, of course.
01:00:43And where is it brewed?
01:00:45And where is it brewed?
01:00:48Where is it brewed?
01:00:50In Berlin.
01:00:52Yes, in Berlin.
01:00:54Yes, in Berlin.
01:00:56And where is Berlin?
01:00:58And where is Berlin?
01:01:00Berlin is on its way.
01:01:03Berlin is on its way.
01:01:05Yes.
01:01:08But where is the way?
01:01:10But where is the way?
01:01:14The way is in Germany.
01:01:16The way is in Germany.
01:01:18Yes. In Germany.
01:01:20In Germany.
01:01:22In our Germany.
01:01:24In our Germany.
01:01:26Think about that.
01:01:28Think about that.
01:01:32Think about that.
01:01:56Don't call me cracks.
01:01:58Don't call me cracks.
01:02:00You're real cracks.
01:02:02Don't call me that.
01:02:04Cracks, cracks, cracks, cracks.
01:02:24Attention!
01:02:27Don't you want to go to work?
01:02:29Don't you want to go to work?
01:02:38Go down.
01:02:40You displeased me lately.
01:02:42You displeased me lately.
01:02:44What is wrong with you?
01:02:46Nothing.
01:02:48Didn't go to Halkenmehrwende headquarters lately.
01:02:50Didn't go to Halkenmehrwende headquarters lately.
01:02:52I was just on my way there.
01:02:54I wanted to go right now.
01:02:56I wanted to go right now.
01:02:58Were you on duty?
01:03:00I wanted to go right now.
01:03:02I wanted to go right now.
01:03:06I was on duty.
01:03:08I finally wanted to go back into Bäusel Kiez.
01:03:10I finally wanted to go back into Bäusel Kiez.
01:03:12I told you.
01:03:14Why?
01:03:16Why not?
01:03:18Why not?
01:03:20communists must forget you. Kill him. A Nazi. Another Nazi. And him, when I fend him. Who
01:03:35then? Wilke Heine. You should come to my neighborhood. Why not to mine? Not possible, I'm in uniform.
01:03:49I'll look around. Goodbye. I know something. This uniform is not just for trade. Whoever
01:04:10wears it must obey. Okay. You are two pennies. Get us two glasses of beer.
01:04:40So, my boy, two beers. Thank you. Bye. Careful. Watch out for the beer. You. Yes, me. Fight.
01:04:56You did, my. What do you want? You cannot attack me. You're ten years older than me.
01:05:02Ah, what a sense of honor. Just what you need. What do you want from me? You are a traitor.
01:05:11You know that. I am nothing of the sort. I told you I would warn the boys, and that
01:05:16is what I did. Nothing more. Let me tell you something. Whoever betrays us is in for it.
01:05:23One is done. Let me go. Stop. Listen, boy, I could finish you here. So tell me, why did
01:05:34you leave us and go over to the Nazis? Because I didn't want to turn out like you and not
01:05:41believe in anything. I believe in my Fuhrer and my comrades. That's why I'm here. So let
01:05:48me tell you something, my boy. Your grandfather was a machinist at Balzac. Your father has
01:05:55been unemployed for years, and I am a trained blacksmith, and you are not one bit better
01:06:00than us, understood? You're just a boy. Can I have respect for you? We fight together,
01:06:07and when things get tough, you run away. Ah, we do that, too, and much, much more. Stop
01:06:16that nonsense. We have a flag, too. Are you nuts? That's nonsense. As if we did not have
01:06:23a flag. Shut up. Do you recognize that? The pocket knife. Yes, with eight blades and a
01:06:42There's also scissors. Slow down, slow down. If you behave, I'll get one for you. Look,
01:06:50Heini, leave those brown apple eaters. It would be a great personal pleasure for me
01:06:59if you return to us. Really? Do you know? No, stop, that is not possible. You say it's
01:07:13not possible? Watch out for yourself, my boy. You, too, but I cannot return to you.
01:07:30Heini, make sure I do not see you again here in your brown rags, otherwise I cannot guarantee
01:07:37for anything. You know my opinion. No mercy. It's a delicate matter. What do you say about
01:07:56the boy? What do you say? If I want to, he's finished.
01:08:26Take that! Take that! Take that!
01:08:56I need reinforcements. What's up? The communists have beaten up almost all of my boys in the
01:09:07My God, boy, what have they done to you? Pantheon, take me along. No. But I know my way around
01:09:19there. I know every inch around there. No. But I need to come along. No, you remain here.
01:09:26Quacks, now shut your mouth. Bring your leaflets along. I will wait for you. Agreed?
01:09:38Okay.
01:09:39Here you are. Thanks, Ola. So, I can go back to the Boise Keats. Slow down, my son. The
01:09:56will lay down for an hour. Understand? What do you want here? Boise Keats. My boy, let
01:10:10me tell you something. You told us a Hitler Youth is a soldier. What did I say? And you
01:10:16are an officer in the field. Yes? And that you didn't forbid your soldiers to go to the
01:10:21field when there was a battle? Yes. Well? Boy. Yes, in God's name we will go to the
01:10:39Boise Keats. Can I take these to the Boise Keats? No, you do those last. Well, let's
01:10:48get to it then. Gutter. Take him along to the Boise Keats. Yes? Stop gabbing and take
01:11:01off. Who is the fellow with the leaflets? Listen, he's coming. Who is it? There were
01:11:11two of them. Two? That looks suspicious to me. I do not trust the fascists. I'll take
01:11:20care of it. Well, I'll remain nearby. Come to the bridge. Vex, I need you to go get a
01:11:35drink for me. But we don't have time. We have to go on. Oh, that's all right. Go on. Stop
01:11:57it, you scoundrel. Have you boys gone nuts? Let him go. Go on. I mean well by you. Do
01:12:13not come back to the Boise Keats. Don't touch me. Gutter, come over here. Come closer. Take
01:12:26your paws off me. So you want to be warned, of course, you slimy fellow. You know what
01:12:32you are? A traitor who betrays his comrades. Fool on you. I wouldn't let you touch me with
01:12:39gloves. Little Heidi Pierpom, look at him. You could learn something from him, but somebody
01:12:45like you. What happened? Gutter threw the whole batch of fires into the water. We don't
01:13:01have a single leaflet left. Do you want to put new ones? Yes, this very night. What will
01:13:27he say? He won't care if he gets paid for the paper. Do you have any money? I have the
01:13:32money you gave me in the hospital. All that money was for you to buy that pocket knife.
01:13:37This is more important. The whole Boise Keats is full of red posters and not one from the
01:13:43Nazis. You did it. You are a fine fellow. Now we go to the Boise Keats. There it is.
01:14:10A Nazi leaflet? How is that possible? I don't understand it. I thought all the Nazi leaflets
01:14:16are destroyed. Yes. Heidi Pierpom is in the Boise Keats. Alarm the roll commando.
01:14:46Here they come.
01:15:15Hear that? The communists have sounded the alarm. This is not good. Things are going
01:15:22Come on. We must alert our unit.
01:15:52Did you see him? Who? Heine? Was he here? No, I didn't see him.
01:16:21Around the corner.
01:16:33Where did he go? It's like he disappeared.
01:16:37There.
01:16:59That fellow must be here someplace. Maybe he's over here.
01:17:15He must be.
01:17:26Ah!
01:17:47Our flag flies before us.
01:18:02We march into the future, man for man.
01:18:06We march for Hitler through night and through need.
01:18:10With a need for the flag of the youth, for freedom and bread.
01:18:14Our flag flies before us.
01:18:18Our flag is the new time.
01:18:22And the flag leads us into eternity.
01:18:29For the flag is more than death.
