00:00 - 00:03The enemy has broken through the front in broad formation.
00:04 - 00:05In the south, the enemy has taken Zossen
00:05 - 00:07and is pushing forward to Stahnsdorf.
00:08 - 00:12The enemy is now operating on the northern outskirts between Frohnau and Pankow...
00:12 - 00:15...and in the east, the enemy has reached the Lichtenberg-Mahlsdorf-Karlshorst line.
00:17 - 00:19With Steiner's attack,
00:19 - 00:21everything will come into order.
00:24 - 00:26My Leader...
00:27 - 00:28Steiner...
00:31 - 00:33Steiner could not mass sufficient forces for an attack.
00:34 - 00:36Steiner's attack was not carried out.
00:53 - 00:58These stay in the room: Keitel, Jodl, Krebs, and Burgdorf.
01:13 - 01:15That was an order!
01:15 - 01:17Steiner's attack was an order!
01:18 - 01:23Who are you, that you would dare disobey my command!?
01:25 - 01:28Has it really gotten to that point?
01:29 - 01:31The military has lied to me!
01:31 - 01:34Everyone has lied to me, even the SS!
01:34 - 01:37The whole Generality is nothing but a heap
01:37 - 01:40of despicable, faithless cowards!
01:40 - 01:42My Leader, I can't tolerate, that the soldiers who bled for you...
01:42 - 01:46Nothing but cowards, traitors, quitters!
01:46 - 01:48My Leader, what you're saying is horrendous!
01:48 - 01:52The generals are the scum of the German people!
01:53 - 01:54They're without honor!
01:56 - 01:57They call themselves generals because they just
01:57 - 02:00waste a few years at the military academy
02:00 - 02:03just to learn how to hold a knife and fork!
02:04 - 02:08For years the military has only frustrated my campaign!
02:08 - 02:13They've put only every imaginable obstacle in the way!
02:14 - 02:16I would've done so well
02:17 - 02:21to have killed off all the higher officers years ago, like Stalin!
02:27 - 02:29I was never at an academy.
02:30 - 02:34And yet I, alone, alone by myself,
02:34 - 02:36have conquered all of Europe!
02:41 - 02:42Bastards.
02:43 - 02:47From the very beginning onward have I been so deceived and betrayed!
02:48 - 02:53What a horrendous treachery has befallen the German people!
02:54 - 02:56But all these bastards are going to pay.
02:56 - 02:59With their own blood, they'll pay!
03:00 - 03:02They will drown in their own blood!
03:04 - 03:07Please, Gerda, calm yourself down.
03:14 - 03:16My orders have been spoken into the wind.
03:19 - 03:23It's impossible to lead in these circumstances.
03:25 - 03:26It's over.
03:31 - 03:33The war is lost.
03:40 - 03:46But if you, gentlemen, think I'm therefore leaving Berlin, you err greatly.
03:46 - 03:49I'd rather put a bullet in my head.
03:53 - 03:56Do what you will.
