00:02:02,372 --> 00:02:03,829
Thirty thousand.

From the Russians?
3
00:02:05,334 --> 00:02:06,791
No, from the French.
4
00:02:06,877 --> 00:02:10,291
From the Russians, we capture
more than that every day.
5
00:02:29,232 --> 00:02:31,019
Mr. Postman.
6
00:02:32,069 --> 00:02:35,233
War is war and schnapps is
schnapps, but business must go on.
7
00:02:35,405 --> 00:02:36,612
You didn't leave
the mail yet this morning.
8
00:02:36,698 --> 00:02:39,031
Ah, I'm sorry, Mr. Meyer.
9
00:02:43,163 --> 00:02:45,576
Hello, Himmelstoss.
Anything for us today?
10
00:02:45,666 --> 00:02:46,747
No, no, Master Peter.
11
00:02:46,833 --> 00:02:47,823
C'mon, there must be something.
12
00:02:47,918 --> 00:02:50,160
Here, here you go, young rascal.
(LAUGHING)
13
00:02:50,629 --> 00:02:53,542
There. This is the last
mail I deliver, anyhow.
14
00:02:53,632 --> 00:02:54,622
What?
15
00:02:54,716 --> 00:02:56,252
Tomorrow I change uniform.
16
00:02:56,343 --> 00:02:57,333
You're going in the army?
17
00:02:57,427 --> 00:02:58,838
Yes, I was called.
18
00:02:58,929 --> 00:03:01,171
I'm a sergeant in the
reserves, you know.
19
00:03:01,264 --> 00:03:03,677
I'll be called myself, if it
doesn't end in a few months.
20
00:03:03,767 --> 00:03:04,757
It will, though.
21
00:03:04,851 --> 00:03:06,638
I'm sure you're right,
Mr. Meyer.

24
00:04:09,875 --> 00:04:11,457
...and join the mighty army
25
00:04:11,543 --> 00:04:14,627
that is defending our
country, our fatherland.
26
00:04:14,713 --> 00:04:18,457
Now, my beloved class,
this is what we must do.
27
00:04:18,925 --> 00:04:21,133
Strike with all our power.
28
00:04:21,219 --> 00:04:23,302
Give every ounce of strength
29
00:04:23,388 --> 00:04:26,802
to win victory before
the end of the year.
30
00:04:27,517 --> 00:04:31,306
It is with reluctance that I
bring this subject up again.
31
00:04:32,230 --> 00:04:35,814
You are the life of
the fatherland, you boys.
32
00:04:35,901 --> 00:04:38,939
You are the iron men of Germany.
33
00:04:39,029 --> 00:04:42,898
You are the gay heroes
who will repulse the enemy
34
00:04:42,991 --> 00:04:45,324
when you are
called upon to do so.
35
00:04:45,410 --> 00:04:48,323
It is not for me
to suggest that any of you
36
00:04:48,413 --> 00:04:52,077
should stand up and offer
to defend his country.
37
00:04:52,167 --> 00:04:55,331
But I wonder if such a thing
is going through your heads.
38
00:04:55,670 --> 00:04:58,583
I know that
in one of the schools
39
00:04:58,673 --> 00:05:01,165
the boys have risen up
in the classroom
40
00:05:01,259 --> 00:05:03,251
and enlisted in a mass.
41
00:05:03,553 --> 00:05:06,261
But, of course, if such a
thing should happen here
42
00:05:06,348 --> 00:05:09,341
you would not blame me
for a feeling of pride.
43
00:05:09,434 --> 00:05:11,551
Perhaps some will say
44
00:05:11,645 --> 00:05:13,807
<i>that you should not
be allowed to go yet,</i>
45
00:05:13,897 --> 00:05:18,813
<i>that you are too young, that you
have homes, mothers, fathers,</i>
46
00:05:18,902 --> 00:05:21,110
<i>that you should
not be torn away.</i>
47
00:05:21,196 --> 00:05:25,406
<i>Are your fathers so forgetful
of their fatherland</i>
48
00:05:25,492 --> 00:05:28,576
<i>that they would let it
perish rather than you?</i>
49
00:05:30,038 --> 00:05:34,123
Are your mothers so weak
that they cannot send a son
50
00:05:34,209 --> 00:05:36,917
to defend the land
which gave them birth?
51
00:05:37,003 --> 00:05:40,622
And after all,
is a little experience
52
00:05:40,715 --> 00:05:43,253
such a bad thing for a boy?
53
00:05:44,511 --> 00:05:47,800
Is the honor
of wearing a uniform
54
00:05:47,889 --> 00:05:50,381
something from
which we should run?
55
00:05:50,851 --> 00:05:54,310
<i>And if our young ladies glory
in those who wear it,</i>
56
00:05:54,396 --> 00:05:56,854
<i>is that anything
to be ashamed of?</i>
57
00:05:56,940 --> 00:06:01,560
I know you have never desired
the adulation of heroes.
58
00:06:02,028 --> 00:06:04,691
That has not been
part of my teaching.
59
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,028
We have sought to
make ourselves worthy
60
00:06:08,118 --> 00:06:10,906
and let acclaim
come when it would.
61
00:06:11,496 --> 00:06:14,330
But to be foremost in battle
62
00:06:14,916 --> 00:06:17,454
is a virtue not to be despised.
63
00:06:18,587 --> 00:06:20,704
I believe it will be
a quick war,
64
00:06:20,797 --> 00:06:22,629
that there will be few losses.
65
00:06:22,716 --> 00:06:24,958
But if losses there must be,
66
00:06:25,051 --> 00:06:28,135
then let us remember
the Latin phrase
67
00:06:28,221 --> 00:06:31,339
which must have come to
the lips of many a Roman
68
00:06:31,433 --> 00:06:34,642
when he stood embattled
in a foreign land,
69
00:06:35,020 --> 00:06:39,185
<i>"Dulce et decorum
est pro patria mori."</i>
70
00:06:39,983 --> 00:06:44,603
"Sweet and fitting it is
to die for the fatherland."
71
00:06:46,489 --> 00:06:48,902
Some of you may have ambitions.
72
00:06:48,992 --> 00:06:53,282
I know of one young man who
has great promise as a writer
73
00:06:53,997 --> 00:06:56,740
and he has written
the first act of a tragedy
74
00:06:56,833 --> 00:06:59,450
which would be a credit
to one of the masters.
75
00:06:59,711 --> 00:07:01,794
And he is dreaming, I suppose,
76
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:06,090
of following in the footsteps
of Goethe and Schiller,
77
00:07:06,635 --> 00:07:08,126
and I hope he will.
78
00:07:08,595 --> 00:07:11,178
But now our country calls.
79
00:07:11,264 --> 00:07:13,677
The fatherland needs leaders.
80
00:07:13,767 --> 00:07:17,351
Personal ambition
must be thrown aside
81
00:07:17,437 --> 00:07:21,056
in the one great sacrifice
for our country.
82
00:07:22,067 --> 00:07:25,902
Here is a glorious
beginning for your lives.
83
00:07:25,987 --> 00:07:28,525
The field of honor calls you.
84
00:07:28,615 --> 00:07:30,698

what has kept you back?

how much you are needed?

00:07:47,634 --> 00:07:49,921
and I wonder what
you are going to do.
90
00:07:50,387 --> 00:07:52,003
- I'll go.
- I want to go.
91
00:07:52,097 --> 00:07:53,087

92
00:07:53,515 --> 00:07:54,505

but I'm used to that.

plenty of other things, too.

Oh, I'll not neglect you.

You're not much to begin
with, but I'll do my best.

I see that we have come here
with a slight misunderstanding,
174
00:13:23,303 --> 00:13:26,046
and we'll correct that,
too, won't we, huh?
175
00:13:26,806 --> 00:13:30,846

forget everything you ever knew.

00:57:18,727 --> 00:57:19,808
Might cheer him up.
708
00:57:19,895 --> 00:57:21,136
Something interesting
might happen on the way.
709
00:57:21,229 --> 00:57:25,314
Boys, me and the Kaiser want you
back in time to march tomorrow.
710
00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:27,187
Don't forget.
711
00:57:27,277 --> 00:57:28,267
We'll be back.
712
00:57:28,362 --> 00:57:29,478
Give the boy my regards.
713
00:57:38,205 --> 00:57:39,286
Whoa.
714
00:57:50,884 --> 00:57:52,546
Oh, there he is.
715
00:57:54,221 --> 00:57:55,883
- Hello, Kemmerick.
- How are you?
716
00:57:55,973 --> 00:57:57,259
How's it going?
717
00:57:57,349 --> 00:57:58,556
How are things going?
718
00:57:58,642 --> 00:58:00,474
Are they looking
after you all right?
719
00:58:00,560 --> 00:58:02,927
How are they treating you?
Franz?
720
00:58:03,897 --> 00:58:05,479
I'm all right.
721
00:58:06,984 --> 00:58:08,896
They're robbers here.
722
00:58:10,988 --> 00:58:12,229
Robbers.
723
00:58:14,783 --> 00:58:17,275
They stole my watch.
724
00:58:17,411 --> 00:58:20,119
I always told you nobody should
carry as good a watch as that.
725
00:58:20,247 --> 00:58:21,954
And they took it
while I was under ether.
726
00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:24,202
Franz. Franz.
You'll get it back.
727
00:58:25,585 --> 00:58:27,497
Do you feel all right?
728
00:58:29,464 --> 00:58:31,421
Just look at my hand, though.
729
00:58:31,508 --> 00:58:33,295
That's because
you lost so much blood.
730
00:58:33,385 --> 00:58:35,172
Just eat decently and
you'll get well again.
731
00:58:35,262 --> 00:58:36,252
Oh, no.
732
00:58:36,346 --> 00:58:40,761
Franz, you must eat. That's the main thing.
It looks good, too.
733
00:58:44,771 --> 00:58:48,014
I have such a terrible
pain in my foot.
734
00:58:49,985 --> 00:58:53,023
Every toe on
my right foot hurts.
735
00:58:57,367 --> 00:59:00,451
Well, how can your foot hurt
when your leg's been...
736
00:59:04,332 --> 00:59:06,119
Oh, I know what you mean!
737
00:59:06,835 --> 00:59:09,794
I know! I know now!
738
00:59:12,090 --> 00:59:14,127
They've cut my leg off.
739
00:59:16,053 --> 00:59:20,798
Why didn't they tell me?
740
00:59:20,891 --> 00:59:22,507
- Franz! Franz!
- ...they tell me.
741
00:59:22,601 --> 00:59:24,058
Now I can't walk anymore!
742
00:59:24,144 --> 00:59:28,104
Franz, you must be thankful that
you've come off with only that.
743
00:59:33,820 --> 00:59:36,483
I wanted to be a forester once.
744
00:59:37,657 --> 00:59:41,446
You can yet. They make artificial
legs that are wonderful.
745
00:59:42,329 --> 00:59:45,788
And you're through, too. You can go home.
Think of that.
746
00:59:46,750 --> 00:59:49,333
We brought your
things for you. See?
747
00:59:50,003 --> 00:59:51,960
Put them under the bed.
748
00:59:59,679 --> 01:00:02,092
That's a marvelous
pair of boots.
749
01:00:03,892 --> 01:00:05,724
Look at that leather.
750
01:00:05,811 --> 01:00:07,143
What comfort.
751
01:00:07,229 --> 01:00:09,186
I was just thinking.
752
01:00:12,359 --> 01:00:14,521
If you're not going to
be using these, Franz,
753
01:00:14,611 --> 01:00:16,318
why don't you
leave them with us?
754
01:00:18,532 --> 01:00:22,151
What good are they to you?
I can use 'em.
755
01:00:22,244 --> 01:00:25,112
My boots give me
blister after blister.
756
01:00:30,127 --> 01:00:32,244
Well, we'll be going, Franz.
757
01:00:32,337 --> 01:00:35,751
Oh, don't go. Stay just
a little while longer.
758
01:00:37,425 --> 01:00:38,836
I'll come right back.
759
01:00:38,927 --> 01:00:40,543
We'll be coming
soon again, Franz.
760
01:00:40,679 --> 01:00:42,591
- I know you'll be feeling better, Franz.
- Bye.
761
01:00:42,681 --> 01:00:43,762
Bye.
762
01:00:43,849 --> 01:00:44,965
Goodbye, Franz.
763
01:00:45,392 --> 01:00:47,304
You think he'll last
till after mess?
764
01:00:47,394 --> 01:00:48,350
You don't think...
765
01:00:48,436 --> 01:00:49,597
Done for.
766
01:00:52,482 --> 01:00:54,599
PAUL: Boys, you go along.
I'll see you later.
767
01:00:54,734 --> 01:00:56,600
- SOLDIER 1: Goodbye. All right, Paul.
- SOLDIER 2: Goodbye, Paul.
768
01:01:00,407 --> 01:01:02,774
I'm sorry, Paul.
769
01:01:03,285 --> 01:01:06,619
I wouldn't touch a thing
of his if he could use it.
770
01:01:06,913 --> 01:01:10,998
I'd go barefoot over barbed wire
for him if it'd do him any good.
771
01:01:11,084 --> 01:01:14,327
Only why should some
orderly get those boots?
772
01:01:14,421 --> 01:01:17,585
I understand, Mueller.
We're all alike out here.
773
01:01:18,967 --> 01:01:20,959
And good boots are scarce.
774
01:01:29,144 --> 01:01:31,511
Tell the doctor to come, please.
775
01:01:38,528 --> 01:01:42,021
Doctor, the man in the next bed
would like to see you, sir.
776
01:01:42,115 --> 01:01:45,734
I've done everything I can for him.
There's no helping him.
777
01:01:45,827 --> 01:01:47,534
Poor little fellow.
778
01:01:59,591 --> 01:02:01,628
He says next time, Franz.
779
01:02:11,645 --> 01:02:13,602
Do you think I'll ever get well?
780
01:02:13,688 --> 01:02:15,600
Why, of course.
781
01:02:17,776 --> 01:02:19,893
Do you really think so?
782
01:02:19,986 --> 01:02:22,478
Sure, once you
get over the operation.
783
01:02:30,163 --> 01:02:31,995
I don't think so.
784
01:02:32,457 --> 01:02:36,497
Franz. Don't talk nonsense.
Why, you'll be as good as new.
785
01:02:36,628 --> 01:02:39,336
They fix up
worse things than that.
786
01:02:39,673 --> 01:02:42,461
Perhaps you'll go to the
convalescent home in Klosterberg

among the villagers.
788
01:02:45,470 --> 01:02:49,089
Then you can look out of the
windows, across the field

01:02:49,182 --> 01:02:51,515

And you can go out
without asking anyone.

You can even play piano
if you want to.

only 19 years old.

He doesn't want to die.

Oh, no, Franz, no.

- Which one is that?
- Amputated leg.

a dozen legs today.

in the operating room.

since 5:00 this morning.

yours is the 17th.

I didn't know what it
was like to die before.

And then... Then I came
outside and it felt...

01:06:32,322 --> 01:06:37,317
It felt so good to be alive
that I started in to walk fast.
838
01:06:38,119 --> 01:06:40,987

something electric running
from the ground up through me.

And I started.
And I began to run hard.

And I passed soldiers and I
heard voices calling, but...

And I ran and I ran.

01:42:45,201 --> 01:42:46,408
PAUL: Yes.
1228
01:42:47,161 --> 01:42:48,652
Is something wrong?
1229
01:42:48,746 --> 01:42:50,157
I think I have a hemorrhage.
1230
01:42:50,247 --> 01:42:54,287
The bandage is all wet. I've been
ringing forever and nobody comes.
1231
01:42:56,087 --> 01:42:57,328
I think I'm bleeding.
1232
01:42:57,421 --> 01:42:59,708
Sister, get me a sterile
dressing and an ice pack.
1233
01:42:59,799 --> 01:43:00,960
Why didn't someone call me?
1234
01:43:01,050 --> 01:43:02,507
ALBERT: He's been ringing.
1235
01:43:02,593 --> 01:43:04,801
Nobody can walk, Sister.
1236
01:43:04,887 --> 01:43:06,344
Sister, is it bad?
1237
01:43:06,430 --> 01:43:08,843
No. No, we'll be all right.
1238
01:43:08,933 --> 01:43:10,424
We've got it in time.
1239
01:43:58,899 --> 01:44:01,607
What's the matter?
What are you doing?
1240
01:44:01,694 --> 01:44:03,981
We must rearrange your bandages.
1241
01:44:05,740 --> 01:44:08,073
Where are you taking me?
1242
01:44:08,159 --> 01:44:09,991
NUN: To the bandaging ward.
1243
01:44:17,918 --> 01:44:20,831
No, no! I'm not going!
I'm staying here!
1244
01:44:20,921 --> 01:44:22,037
ALBERT: Paul! Paul!
1245
01:44:22,131 --> 01:44:23,247
Now, now!
1246
01:44:23,340 --> 01:44:24,421
I'm not going to the dying room!
1247
01:44:24,508 --> 01:44:25,919
But we're going to
the bandaging ward.
1248
01:44:26,010 --> 01:44:27,421
Then why are you
taking my clothes?
1249
01:44:27,511 --> 01:44:31,346
You're lying to me! But I'll come back!
I won't die!
1250
01:44:31,432 --> 01:44:37,099
I'll come back! I won't die!
1251
01:44:37,188 --> 01:44:39,976
I'm not going to die!
I'll come back!
1252
01:44:50,534 --> 01:44:52,617
HAMMACHER: Sister
Libertine, how is he?
1253
01:44:52,703 --> 01:44:56,117
Poor boy. They had
to amputate his leg.
1254
01:45:11,305 --> 01:45:12,386
Paul.
1255
01:45:13,474 --> 01:45:18,219
Paul. Paul.
1256
01:45:19,355 --> 01:45:22,974
Oh, he is gone.
1257
01:45:23,984 --> 01:45:25,145
Gone.
1258
01:45:30,241 --> 01:45:34,235
Hello. Welcome home, Albert!
1259
01:45:36,705 --> 01:45:37,991
How do you feel, kid?
1260
01:45:38,082 --> 01:45:39,323
All right.
1261
01:45:39,416 --> 01:45:42,250
But I've got such an awful pain.
1262
01:45:42,586 --> 01:45:44,498
My foot...
1263
01:45:48,884 --> 01:45:52,343
Hammacher.
Did they cut my leg off?
1264
01:45:52,429 --> 01:45:55,672
Of course not! How many
did you have? Two?
1265
01:45:55,766 --> 01:45:58,554
You still got 'em! One, two!
1266
01:45:58,936 --> 01:46:02,896
Don't play the fool, Hammacher.
Tell me truthfully.
1267
01:46:02,982 --> 01:46:06,225
Of course not.
And you look fine.
1268
01:46:08,904 --> 01:46:11,442
Look. See?
1269
01:46:25,421 --> 01:46:27,003
- I won't be a cripple.
- Now, now.
1270
01:46:27,131 --> 01:46:28,963
- I won't live like that!
- Be calm.
1271
01:46:29,091 --> 01:46:30,798
I'll kill myself
the first chance I get!
1272
01:46:30,885 --> 01:46:31,875
Albert!
1273
01:46:31,969 --> 01:46:35,178
- I won't live! I won't live!
- Yes, you will.
1274
01:46:35,306 --> 01:46:37,764
PAUL: Albert! Albert!
1275
01:46:38,684 --> 01:46:40,767
Albert, I've come back!
1276
01:46:40,853 --> 01:46:44,688
I told you I'd come back. Look, everybody!
I've come back!
1277
01:46:44,815 --> 01:46:45,805
ALBERT: Paul! Paul!
1278
01:46:45,941 --> 01:46:48,058
That's not where I'm going.
I live over there.
1279
01:46:48,152 --> 01:46:50,144
ALBERT: Paul, I'm so happy.
1280
01:46:50,946 --> 01:46:52,938
Hammacher, I've come
back from the dead!
1281
01:46:53,032 --> 01:46:55,740
It's most irregular.
Never happened before.
1282
01:46:55,826 --> 01:46:58,910
Albert, we must get well quickly
so we can go home soon.
1283
01:46:58,996 --> 01:47:00,828
Albert, everything
will be all right now.
1284
01:47:00,956 --> 01:47:04,950
Yes, Paul. Everything
will be all right now.
1285
01:48:37,469 --> 01:48:40,837
Paul! Paul! Paul!
1286
01:48:42,266 --> 01:48:43,347
Paul.
1287
01:48:44,810 --> 01:48:46,847
What's the matter, Paul?
1288
01:48:46,937 --> 01:48:49,304
Nothing. Nothing.
1289
01:49:11,962 --> 01:49:13,453
Paul.
1290
01:49:13,881 --> 01:49:15,622
Give me your handkerchief.
1291
01:49:25,142 --> 01:49:26,223
Mother?
1292
01:49:26,310 --> 01:49:28,973
MOTHER: Here I am, Paul.
Here I am.
1293
01:49:32,316 --> 01:49:33,978
Mother's ill.
1294
01:49:51,251 --> 01:49:52,583
Are you wounded?
1295
01:49:52,669 --> 01:49:54,581
No, Mother. I got leave.
1296
01:49:59,510 --> 01:50:01,046
(CRYING)
1297
01:50:02,763 --> 01:50:06,427
Here I lie and cry
instead of being glad.
1298
01:50:07,768 --> 01:50:11,603
Anna, get down
the jar of blackberries.
1299
01:50:12,439 --> 01:50:15,273
You still like them, don't you?
1300
01:50:15,359 --> 01:50:18,693
Yes, Mother. I haven't
had any for a long time.
1301
01:50:21,949 --> 01:50:24,441
We might almost have known
you were coming.
1302
01:50:25,035 --> 01:50:26,776
I'm making potato cakes.
1303
01:50:26,912 --> 01:50:28,653
MOTHER: Don't let them burn.
1304
01:50:30,124 --> 01:50:34,619
Paul, sit down beside me.
1305
01:50:39,800 --> 01:50:41,632
My Paul.
1306
01:50:43,762 --> 01:50:45,628
My baby.
1307
01:50:48,142 --> 01:50:52,056
I almost forgot, Mother. I've got
some little presents for you.
1308
01:51:07,703 --> 01:51:11,322
Look, Mother.
Bread, sausage and rice.
1309
01:51:11,415 --> 01:51:14,499
Paul, you've been
starving yourself.
1310
01:51:14,835 --> 01:51:17,953
Hadn't I better go and
tell Father Paul's home?
1311
01:51:18,046 --> 01:51:19,833
Paul could watch
the things on the stove.
1312
01:51:19,923 --> 01:51:22,836
No, no, child, I'm getting up.
1313
01:51:22,926 --> 01:51:26,715
Oh, Paul, you're
a soldier now, aren't you?
1314
01:51:27,598 --> 01:51:31,012
But somehow,
I don't seem to know you.
1315
01:51:32,102 --> 01:51:33,968
I'll take these off, Mother.
1316
01:51:34,062 --> 01:51:37,851
I'll get your suit, Paul. It's in the
wardrobe, just where you left it.
1317
01:51:37,941 --> 01:51:40,900
Are you really here, Paul?
1318
01:51:40,986 --> 01:51:42,443
You won't...
1319
01:51:42,529 --> 01:51:45,943
You won't disappear, will you?
1320
01:51:46,783 --> 01:51:49,366
No. I'm here.
1321
01:52:05,886 --> 01:52:08,469
Your things are
ready for you, Paul.
1322
01:52:09,890 --> 01:52:11,301
I remember when you
caught that one.
1323
01:52:11,391 --> 01:52:14,134
Yes. And you took it
away from me, didn't you?
1324
01:52:15,187 --> 01:52:16,974
Yes, I did.
1325
01:52:31,203 --> 01:52:32,865
We're behind the lines,
1326
01:52:32,955 --> 01:52:34,617
but we know how to
honor the soldier
1327
01:52:34,706 --> 01:52:37,414
who goes on in spite
of blood and death.
1328
01:52:37,501 --> 01:52:39,163
Gentlemen, my son.
1329
01:52:40,420 --> 01:52:42,082
- <i>Prosit.</i>
- MEN: <i>Prosit.</i>
1330
01:52:46,260 --> 01:52:49,719
I'm glad to know you, young
man, I am glad to know you.
1331
01:52:50,138 --> 01:52:54,257
And how are things out there?
Terrible, eh? Terrible.
1332
01:52:55,477 --> 01:52:57,560
But we must carry on.
1333
01:52:58,230 --> 01:53:02,315
After all, you do at least
get decent food out there.
1334
01:53:02,943 --> 01:53:05,560
Naturally, it's worse here.
Naturally.
1335
01:53:06,029 --> 01:53:10,148
But the best for our soldiers all the time.
That's our motto.
1336
01:53:11,285 --> 01:53:12,992
The best for our soldiers.
1337
01:53:13,078 --> 01:53:14,785
The best for our soldiers.
1338
01:53:17,249 --> 01:53:19,536
But you must give the
Frenchies a good licking!
1339
01:53:19,626 --> 01:53:20,707
(ALL LAUGHING)
1340
01:53:24,172 --> 01:53:26,960
And if you boys
want to come home,
1341
01:53:28,593 --> 01:53:32,963
let me show you what you must
do before you can come home.
1342
01:53:34,850 --> 01:53:36,887
Give us a hand there, men.
1343
01:53:37,436 --> 01:53:40,429
Now, then, there's the line.
1344
01:53:40,939 --> 01:53:43,477
Runs so, in a "V."
1345
01:53:44,443 --> 01:53:47,311
Here is St. Quentin.
You can see for yourself.
1346
01:53:47,404 --> 01:53:49,942
You're almost through now.
All right?
1347
01:53:50,032 --> 01:53:54,447
Shove ahead out there and don't stick
to that everlasting trench warfare.
1348
01:53:54,995 --> 01:53:59,114
Smash through the Johnnies!
And then you will have peace.
1349
01:54:00,292 --> 01:54:04,286
When you get in it, the war isn't
the way it looks back here.
1350
01:54:04,379 --> 01:54:07,543
(SCOFFS) You don't know
anything about it.
1351
01:54:07,632 --> 01:54:12,423
Of course, you know about the details,
but this relates to the whole.
1352
01:54:12,929 --> 01:54:14,716
You can't judge that.
1353
01:54:15,182 --> 01:54:18,801
Of course, you do your duty
and you risk your life.
1354
01:54:19,144 --> 01:54:22,433
But for that, you receive
the highest honor.
1355
01:54:23,648 --> 01:54:26,607
I said that every man in the war
ought to have the Iron Cross.
1356
01:54:26,693 --> 01:54:30,653
First, the enemy lines must be
broken through in Flanders.
1357
01:54:30,739 --> 01:54:31,946
On to Paris!
1358
01:54:32,032 --> 01:54:33,318
- Push on to Paris!
- Right.
1359
01:54:33,575 --> 01:54:35,191
No, not in Flanders.
Now I'll tell you
1360
01:54:35,285 --> 01:54:36,867
just where the break
should come.
1361
01:54:36,953 --> 01:54:38,239
Here.
1362
01:54:38,330 --> 01:54:39,992
The enemy has
too many reserves there.
1363
01:54:40,082 --> 01:54:42,039
I insist upon Flanders!
1364
01:54:42,125 --> 01:54:44,287
I know, but, my dear man,
why should they do that
1365
01:54:44,378 --> 01:54:46,040
when they're halfway through St.
Quentin already?
1366
01:54:46,129 --> 01:54:47,245
Why go the other way?
1367
01:54:47,339 --> 01:54:49,046
Because Flanders
is a flat country.
1368
01:54:49,132 --> 01:54:50,873
There are no mountains,
no obstructions.
1369
01:54:50,967 --> 01:54:52,629
But there's many rivers there.
1370
01:55:11,363 --> 01:55:13,525
PROFESSOR: From the
farms they have gone,
1371
01:55:13,615 --> 01:55:16,198
from the schools,
from the factories.
1372
01:55:16,618 --> 01:55:20,202
They have gone bravely,
nobly, ever forward,
1373
01:55:20,580 --> 01:55:25,871
realizing that there is no other
duty now but to save the fatherland.
1374
01:55:27,087 --> 01:55:30,831
Paul! How are you, Paul?
1375
01:55:30,966 --> 01:55:33,049
Glad to see you, Professor.
1376
01:55:33,802 --> 01:55:37,887
You've come at the right moment, B?umer.
Just at the right moment.
1377
01:55:38,098 --> 01:55:40,431
And as if to prove
all I have said,
1378
01:55:40,517 --> 01:55:42,759
here is one of the first to go.
1379
01:55:43,145 --> 01:55:46,638
A lad who sat before me
on these very benches,
1380
01:55:47,149 --> 01:55:50,608
who gave up all to serve
in the first year of the war.
1381
01:55:51,111 --> 01:55:55,526
One of the iron youth who have made
Germany invincible in the field.
1382
01:55:55,866 --> 01:55:59,951
Look at him, sturdy and
bronze and clear-eyed.
1383
01:56:00,245 --> 01:56:03,534
The kind of soldier
every one of you should envy.
1384
01:56:04,499 --> 01:56:07,082
Paul, lad,
you must speak to them.
1385
01:56:07,544 --> 01:56:11,163
You must tell them what it means
to serve your fatherland.
1386
01:56:13,467 --> 01:56:15,049
No, no, I can't
tell them anything.
1387
01:56:15,135 --> 01:56:17,593
You must, Paul. Just a word.
1388
01:56:17,679 --> 01:56:20,672
Just tell them how much
they're needed out there.
1389
01:56:20,765 --> 01:56:23,849
Tell them why you went
and what it meant to you.
1390
01:56:24,519 --> 01:56:26,135
I can't say anything.
1391
01:56:26,229 --> 01:56:30,940
Can't you remember some deed of
heroism, some touch of nobility?
1392
01:56:31,359 --> 01:56:32,850
Tell about it.
1393
01:56:33,069 --> 01:56:34,651
(STUDENTS URGING)
1394
01:56:39,451 --> 01:56:42,159
I can't tell you
anything you don't know.
1395
01:56:42,871 --> 01:56:45,784
We live in the trenches
out there. We fight.
1396
01:56:47,000 --> 01:56:50,289
We try not to be killed,
sometimes we are.
1397
01:56:53,173 --> 01:56:54,505
That's all.
1398
01:56:58,178 --> 01:57:00,636
PROFESSOR: No. No, Paul.
1399
01:57:01,097 --> 01:57:03,805
I've been there!
I know what it's like.
1400
01:57:04,017 --> 01:57:06,634
That's not what
one dwells on, Paul.
1401
01:57:06,728 --> 01:57:09,892
I've heard you in here
reciting that same old stuff,
1402
01:57:09,981 --> 01:57:13,065
making more iron men,
more young heroes.
1403
01:57:14,194 --> 01:57:16,186
You still think it's
beautiful and sweet
1404
01:57:16,279 --> 01:57:18,817
to die for your country,
don't you?
1405
01:57:18,907 --> 01:57:20,944
We used to think you knew.
1406
01:57:21,368 --> 01:57:24,076
The first bombardment
taught us better.
1407
01:57:24,704 --> 01:57:27,697
It's dirty and painful
to die for your country.
1408
01:57:27,791 --> 01:57:29,373
When it comes to dying
for your country,
1409
01:57:29,459 --> 01:57:31,872
it's better not to die at all!
1410
01:57:31,962 --> 01:57:34,955
There are millions out there
dying for their countries,
1411
01:57:35,048 --> 01:57:36,164
and what good is it?
1412
01:57:36,258 --> 01:57:37,999
(STUDENTS MURMURING)
1413
01:57:39,594 --> 01:57:40,710
PROFESSOR: Paul.
1414
01:57:40,804 --> 01:57:43,888
You asked me to tell them how
much they're needed out there.
1415
01:57:43,974 --> 01:57:46,216
He tells you, "Go out and die."
1416
01:57:46,393 --> 01:57:47,929
Oh, but if you'll pardon me,
1417
01:57:48,019 --> 01:57:50,853
it's easier to say, "Go out
and die" than it is to do it.
1418
01:57:50,939 --> 01:57:52,225
STUDENT: Coward!
1419
01:57:52,315 --> 01:57:55,649
And it's easier to say it
than to watch it happen.
1420
01:57:55,819 --> 01:57:57,355
- Coward!
- Get out!
1421
01:57:57,445 --> 01:58:00,233
PROFESSOR: No! Boys, boys!
1422
01:58:01,658 --> 01:58:03,365
I'm sorry, B?umer,
but I must say...
1423
01:58:03,451 --> 01:58:05,534
It's no use talking like this.
1424
01:58:05,620 --> 01:58:07,657
You won't know what I mean.
1425
01:58:07,747 --> 01:58:11,912
Only, it's been a long while since
we enlisted out of this classroom.
1426
01:58:12,002 --> 01:58:15,996
So long I thought maybe the whole
world had learned by this time.
1427
01:58:16,172 --> 01:58:19,961
Only now they're sending babies,
and they won't last a week.
1428
01:58:20,343 --> 01:58:22,505
I shouldn't have come on leave.
1429
01:58:22,637 --> 01:58:24,253
Up at the front you're
alive or you're dead,
1430
01:58:24,347 --> 01:58:25,929
and that's all.
1431
01:58:26,016 --> 01:58:28,850
You can't fool anybody
about that very long.
1432
01:58:28,977 --> 01:58:31,094
And up there we know
we're lost and done for,
1433
01:58:31,187 --> 01:58:33,349
whether we're dead or alive.
1434
01:58:33,440 --> 01:58:36,148
Three years we've had of it...
Four years.
1435
01:58:36,276 --> 01:58:39,360
And every day a year,
and every night a century.
1436
01:58:40,322 --> 01:58:43,110
And our bodies are earth,
and our thoughts are clay,
1437
01:58:43,199 --> 01:58:45,532
and we sleep and eat with death.
1438
01:58:45,869 --> 01:58:48,031
We're done for because
you can't live that way
1439
01:58:48,121 --> 01:58:50,534
and keep anything inside you!
1440
01:58:50,624 --> 01:58:54,038
I shouldn't have come on leave.
I'll go back tomorrow.
1441
01:58:54,336 --> 01:58:57,044
I've got four days more,
but I can't stand it here.
1442
01:58:57,172 --> 01:58:58,879
I'll go back tomorrow!
1443
01:58:59,966 --> 01:59:01,127
I'm sorry.
1444
01:59:13,146 --> 01:59:16,480
Mother, you'll catch cold here.
You must go to sleep.
1445
01:59:16,566 --> 01:59:20,526
There'll be plenty of time
to sleep when you're gone.
1446
01:59:22,072 --> 01:59:25,190
Must you go tomorrow, Paul?
Must you?
1447
01:59:25,742 --> 01:59:28,075
Yes, Mother.
Orders were changed.
1448
01:59:31,331 --> 01:59:33,573
Are you very much afraid, Paul?
1449
01:59:34,918 --> 01:59:36,329
No, Mother.
1450
01:59:38,880 --> 01:59:42,419
There's something I want
to say to you, Paul. It's...
1451
01:59:43,593 --> 01:59:47,587
Just be on your guard
against the women out there.
1452
01:59:48,598 --> 01:59:50,134
They're no good.
1453
01:59:50,934 --> 01:59:53,927
Where we are there aren't
any women, Mother.
1454
01:59:55,313 --> 01:59:57,805
Be very careful
at the front, Paul.
1455
01:59:58,483 --> 02:00:00,270
Yes, Mother, I will.
1456
02:00:00,652 --> 02:00:02,769
I'll pray for you every day.
1457
02:00:03,238 --> 02:00:08,450
And if you could get a job
that's not quite so dangerous...
1458
02:00:10,745 --> 02:00:13,954
Yes, Mother. I'll try and
get in the cookhouse.
1459
02:00:14,040 --> 02:00:15,247
That can easily be done.
1460
02:00:15,333 --> 02:00:18,076
You do it then, and if the
others say anything...
1461
02:00:18,169 --> 02:00:20,286
That won't worry me, Mother.
1462
02:00:21,172 --> 02:00:22,379
Now you must go to bed
1463
02:00:22,465 --> 02:00:25,629
and you must get well
quickly before I come back.
1464
02:00:27,846 --> 02:00:32,307
I put two sets of underwear,
new ones, in your pack.
1465
02:00:32,934 --> 02:00:36,348
They'll keep you nice and warm.
They're all wool.
1466
02:00:37,313 --> 02:00:38,975
That's sweet of you.
1467
02:00:39,941 --> 02:00:42,854
Good night, my son.
1468
02:00:51,161 --> 02:00:52,823
Good night, Mother.
1469
02:01:15,685 --> 02:01:19,474
Oh, Mother, Mother.
You still think I'm a child.
1470
02:01:20,565 --> 02:01:23,683
Why can't I put my head
in your lap and cry?
1471
02:01:48,259 --> 02:01:49,420
Is this the 2nd Company?
1472
02:01:49,511 --> 02:01:50,718
Yes, sir.
1473
02:02:13,660 --> 02:02:14,696
Is this all of it?
1474
02:02:14,786 --> 02:02:15,776
Yes, sir.
1475
02:02:15,912 --> 02:02:19,280
We had 150 men, but this is
all that came back yesterday.
1476
02:02:19,415 --> 02:02:22,999
But now they're going to give
us enough to make 150 again.
1477
02:02:24,087 --> 02:02:25,544
How old are you?
1478
02:02:26,256 --> 02:02:27,497
Sixteen.
1479
02:02:48,778 --> 02:02:51,236
No use.
I couldn't find anything.
1480
02:02:51,781 --> 02:02:54,194
We'll have to eat the sawdust.
1481
02:02:54,617 --> 02:02:58,611
Not me! I'll go hungry first.
This makes me sick.
1482
02:03:14,554 --> 02:03:17,046
Now it's gonna be
a real war again.
1483
02:03:17,807 --> 02:03:20,140
Paul! How's old Paul?
1484
02:03:20,560 --> 02:03:21,892
Here I am.
1485
02:03:22,312 --> 02:03:24,053
You know, the 2nd Company's
getting hard to find.
1486
02:03:24,147 --> 02:03:26,890
Nobody seemed to know
where you were.
1487
02:03:26,983 --> 02:03:28,815
I'm glad you found it.
1488
02:03:32,989 --> 02:03:35,447
I guess I don't
get much of this.
1489
02:03:40,580 --> 02:03:44,574
There used to be some food in the sawdust.
Now it's all sawdust.
1490
02:03:44,667 --> 02:03:47,831
No joke, either.
Eats you up inside.
1491
02:03:48,838 --> 02:03:51,421
This doesn't look much
like the old 2nd Company.
1492
02:03:51,507 --> 02:03:53,123
The replacements
are all like that.
1493
02:03:53,217 --> 02:03:55,925
Not even old enough
to carry a pack.
1494
02:03:56,179 --> 02:03:58,466
All they know how to do is die.
1495
02:03:59,015 --> 02:04:02,349
I guess some of the
old-timers are here yet.
1496
02:04:03,269 --> 02:04:07,104
Paul, they're trying to invent
something to kill me right now.
1497
02:04:09,150 --> 02:04:10,686
Where's Westhus?
1498
02:04:11,694 --> 02:04:15,313
Messenger dog was wounded.
He went out to get it.
1499
02:04:15,406 --> 02:04:16,988
(CLICKS TONGUE)
1500
02:04:17,533 --> 02:04:19,240
Is it true about
the armistice, Paul?
1501
02:04:19,327 --> 02:04:20,943
Doesn't look
that way back there.
1502
02:04:21,037 --> 02:04:22,778
You mean they want us
to go on fighting?
1503
02:04:22,872 --> 02:04:23,953
That's what they say.
1504
02:04:24,040 --> 02:04:25,497
They're crazy!
1505
02:04:27,293 --> 02:04:29,626
Germany'll be empty pretty soon.
1506
02:04:30,838 --> 02:04:33,000
Where's Detering?
1507
02:04:33,841 --> 02:04:37,380
He got homesick. You remember
about the cherry blossoms?
1508
02:04:38,137 --> 02:04:40,379
I guess he never got over that.
1509
02:04:40,515 --> 02:04:42,006
He started out
one night to go home
1510
02:04:42,100 --> 02:04:44,592
and help his wife with the farm.
1511
02:04:44,686 --> 02:04:48,396
They got him behind the lines,
and we never heard of him since.
1512
02:04:48,481 --> 02:04:52,475
He was just homesick, but probably
they couldn't see it that way.
1513
02:04:54,696 --> 02:04:56,312
Where's Kat? Is he...
1514
02:04:56,406 --> 02:04:58,363
(LAUGHS) Not Kat!
1515
02:04:59,075 --> 02:05:01,362
If he were out,
the war would be over.
1516
02:05:01,536 --> 02:05:03,118
You remember
what he always says,
1517
02:05:03,204 --> 02:05:04,740
they're saving him for the last.
1518
02:05:04,831 --> 02:05:05,912
Where is he?
1519
02:05:05,999 --> 02:05:07,285
He's out looking for food,
1520
02:05:07,375 --> 02:05:09,492
trying to collect something
to make soup with.
1521
02:05:09,585 --> 02:05:11,121
Which way?
1522
02:05:11,212 --> 02:05:13,249
Down the road about
two miles that way.
1523
02:05:13,339 --> 02:05:15,046
I'll see you later.
1524
02:05:29,272 --> 02:05:30,308

Hello, Paul.

02:05:56,090 --> 02:05:57,206
How's the side?
1529
02:05:57,300 --> 02:05:59,508
Oh, it's all right now.
It's fine.
1530
02:06:01,012 --> 02:06:02,128
Have any luck?
1531
02:06:02,263 --> 02:06:05,802
No, the general's staff's been
over this country with a rake.
1532
02:06:06,809 --> 02:06:08,641
Let's sit down a minute.
1533
02:06:11,689 --> 02:06:14,978
Tell me, Paul,
how was it at home?
1534
02:06:15,443 --> 02:06:17,105
Have a good leave?
1535
02:06:17,653 --> 02:06:18,734
In spots.
1536
02:06:18,821 --> 02:06:19,811
What's the matter?
1537
02:06:20,865 --> 02:06:25,155
Oh, I'm no good for
back there anymore, Kat.
1538
02:06:25,328 --> 02:06:28,662
None of us are.
We've been in this too long.
1539
02:06:29,207 --> 02:06:31,950
The young men thought I was a
coward because I told them that
1540
02:06:32,043 --> 02:06:35,707
we learn that death is stronger
than duty to one's country.
1541
02:06:37,006 --> 02:06:39,293
The old men said,
"Go on. Push on to Paris."
1542
02:06:39,383 --> 02:06:41,841
My father even wanted me
to wear my uniform around.
1543
02:06:41,928 --> 02:06:43,169
(LAUGHS)
1544
02:06:44,847 --> 02:06:47,339
It's not home
back there anymore.
1545
02:06:47,558 --> 02:06:52,019
All I could think of was, "I'd like
to get back and see Kat again."
1546
02:06:54,232 --> 02:06:56,519
You're all I've got left, Kat.
1547
02:06:56,859 --> 02:06:58,851
I'm not much to have left.
1548
02:06:59,529 --> 02:07:01,191
I missed you, Paul.
1549
02:07:01,656 --> 02:07:03,864
At least we know what
it's all about out here.
1550
02:07:03,991 --> 02:07:05,857
There're no lies here.
1551
02:07:06,869 --> 02:07:08,531
Push on to Paris?
1552
02:07:09,038 --> 02:07:11,496
You ought to see what they've
got on the other side.
1553
02:07:11,582 --> 02:07:13,824
They eat white bread over there.
1554
02:07:13,918 --> 02:07:16,251
They've got dozens of
airplanes to our one
1555
02:07:16,379 --> 02:07:18,871
and tanks that'll
go over anything.
1556
02:07:19,382 --> 02:07:21,089
What've we got left?
1557
02:07:21,551 --> 02:07:24,919
Guns so worn they drop
shells on our own men.
1558
02:07:25,346 --> 02:07:28,555
No food, no ammunition,
no officers.
1559
02:07:29,392 --> 02:07:31,008
(CHUCKLING) Push on to Paris!
1560
02:07:32,186 --> 02:07:34,894
So that's the way
they talk back there.
1561
02:07:36,566 --> 02:07:38,728
I guess we'd better be going.
1562
02:07:45,533 --> 02:07:47,741
How I lied to my poor mother.
1563
02:07:48,578 --> 02:07:50,911
I told her it wasn't so
bad out here because
1564
02:07:50,997 --> 02:07:53,535
there was always
a lot of us together.
1565
02:07:54,625 --> 02:07:55,991
Now that I'm with you,
1566
02:07:56,085 --> 02:07:59,123
I'm beginning to believe
that I told her the truth.
1567
02:07:59,255 --> 02:08:00,371
Down!
1568
02:08:09,599 --> 02:08:12,307
That's another one that missed us.
Come on. Let's go.
1569
02:08:12,435 --> 02:08:13,516
Wait a minute.
1570
02:08:13,603 --> 02:08:16,266
Looks like the old
bread wagon's broke down.
1571
02:08:17,273 --> 02:08:19,481
I guess I don't walk
the rest of the way.
1572
02:08:19,567 --> 02:08:20,808
Did that get you, Kat?
1573
02:08:20,902 --> 02:08:23,110
I think it broke my shin.
1574
02:08:24,989 --> 02:08:27,777
That's not so bad.
Hold it together.
1575
02:08:28,618 --> 02:08:30,405
Just my luck, huh?
1576
02:08:30,494 --> 02:08:32,531
Good luck.
That means the war is over.
1577
02:08:32,622 --> 02:08:34,454
Oh, no, sir.
1578
02:08:34,790 --> 02:08:37,658
This war don't end
till they really get me.
1579
02:08:38,920 --> 02:08:40,502
Now this one.
1580
02:08:41,088 --> 02:08:42,670
Easy, now.
1581
02:08:42,798 --> 02:08:43,879
Hey!
1582
02:08:44,008 --> 02:08:45,124
Easy!
1583
02:08:47,428 --> 02:08:50,296
Come on. I'll take you in.
Give me your hand.
1584
02:08:53,351 --> 02:08:54,467
Easy.
1585
02:08:56,103 --> 02:08:57,435
All right.
1586
02:09:07,949 --> 02:09:11,317
Well, kid, now we're
gonna be separated.
1587
02:09:12,203 --> 02:09:15,947
Maybe we can do something together
later on when the war is over.
1588
02:09:16,040 --> 02:09:17,247
Yes, kid.
1589
02:09:17,333 --> 02:09:19,416
You give me your address
and I'll give you mine.
1590
02:09:19,502 --> 02:09:20,993
(EXPLOSION)
1591
02:09:26,217 --> 02:09:28,709
You can't get both
of us in one day!
1592
02:09:29,679 --> 02:09:32,513
We'll surely see
each other again, Kat.
1593
02:09:33,391 --> 02:09:37,305
Remember that day when you brought
the whole pig into the factory?
1594
02:09:37,395 --> 02:09:41,389
And that day in the woods when you
taught us how to dodge shells?
1595
02:09:41,691 --> 02:09:45,025
And my first bombardment.
How I cried.
1596
02:09:46,362 --> 02:09:48,524
I was a young recruit then.
1597
02:09:52,368 --> 02:09:55,031
Here we are. Here we are.
1598
02:09:58,958 --> 02:10:00,039
(GRUNTS)
1599
02:10:00,209 --> 02:10:02,041
All right now, Kat.
1600
02:10:05,214 --> 02:10:07,877
You could've spared yourself the trouble.
He's dead.
1601
02:10:07,967 --> 02:10:11,210
Oh, no. He's just fainted.
He was hit in the shin.
1602
02:10:11,387 --> 02:10:12,719
He's dead.
1603
02:10:26,652 --> 02:10:29,235
Would you like to
take his paybook?
1604
02:10:31,157 --> 02:10:32,819
You're not related, are you?
1605
02:10:32,908 --> 02:10:34,570
No, we're not related.
1606
02:10:42,918 --> 02:10:45,331
Your deal. Did you get
his name and number?
1607
02:10:45,421 --> 02:10:48,255
Yeah, Corporal
Stanislas Katczinsky, 306.
1608
02:10:55,931 --> 02:10:57,388
I don't get it.
1609
02:10:57,475 --> 02:10:59,182
(INDISTINCT)
1610
02:12:29,358 --> 02:12:30,815
(GUNSHOT)
