the enemy?
And what will happen to my family then?
What about those fanatics in the central office?
And about those crazies, who would fight
to death, believing in a mythical victory,
- than surrendering to the allies.
- But you can issue an order to surrender.
The orders are issued to die.
There could be no orders to surrendering to
the enemy. They would never give such orders.
- And if you do obtain such an order?
- From whom? From that neurasthenic Hitler?
He pulls all of us with him into the grave.
To die in the solitude is a terrible thing.
To die with masses is like a nothing.
One can even joke about it easily.
And what if you do obtain such an
order from Field Marshal Keitel?
He thinks with his fat ass instead of his head.
He is a secretary, but not a military commander.
- What about your commander-in-chief in Italy?
- Kesselring?
- He will never do it.
- Why?
He is from the staff school of Goering,
and anyone, who works directly
under a big Nazi leader,
compulsorily lose personal initiative.
Awkwardness is acquired,
he becomes a good analyst,
but loses the ability to make
independent decisions.
Before he'd decide to make a step, compulsorily
he will consult his boss about it first.
- Whose boss?
- His boss. Goering himself.
Are you certain that he cannot be persuaded
for such a step without Hering's approval?
-If I wouldn't be convinced, I wouldn't say it.
-Do you believe that this is even possible?
I believe that this is possible.
Also I believe in a soon end for
all of us. For all of us!
It is not so scary, believe me,
when everyone would be gone at once.
Our defeat will be so crushing.
That recollections about it will wound the
hearts of many generations of poor Germans.
I told my children: I hate any democracy!
No democracy in our Reich!
Any democracy in our country is doomed
to end up with one thing:
the dictatorship of small shopkeepers.
The more freedom we have, the sooner we
want to be controlled by SS troops again.
And then we want our the secret police
back, and concentration death camps again,
and the universal fear everywhere!
Only then we feel ourselves calm and secure.
No need to prove your point of view in
defending the fate of the home land.
No responsibility.
Just raise your hand in the honor of him,
who will take care of everything for you,
Just shout out "Hail Hitler!" and
everything will become understandable.
No more worries.
The border guards will check fast.
I only have a few passengers today.
Would you like buy cigarettes, sir?
- Hail Hitler!
- Hail Hitler! I wish you to
destroy all your enemies.
- Thanks. We will break their heads.
- I have no doubt about that.
A Swedish scientist with a Scandinavian
last name Svedeborg in his passport,
was going to Bern, Switzeland.
That was professor Pleyshner.
He was going to Bern, Switzerland
to bring a spy message from Shtirlitz.
The message was about Shellenberg's game,
and about the contact with Bormann,
and also about Ket's arrest.
Shtirlitz wrote in it about his spy work
and how to get in contact with him now.
Now he was going to the border patrol
guard office to get a car
in order to drive to a special distant
mountain border check point.
Pastor Shlag will have to illegally
cross the border with Switzerland there.

Border guard office of Gottmatingen.
I clearly see now, why you would
be so agreeable in helping me.
In this snowy blue paradise it is
not possible to even visualize
either hunger or bombings or ruins of war.
What if I would need to transfer illegally
through the border not a single person,
but, let's say, a few people and without
any permission from my management,
I see that this could be done without a problem.
We'll talk just a little and then do it. Right?
Well, sure. At this moment, we all need to start
talking before it is too late for all of us.
How shell I understand this?
You yourself provoked me
