coalition of our enemies
by diplomatic or any other way
would be utopian,
if not a demonstration of panic
and the loss of perspective.
Only by inflicting them military blows,
by demonstrating
our unbending spirit
and our inexhaustible might
can we speed up the demise of that
coalition,
which will break down
to the thunder of our guns.
I'm turning my eyes to the Germans.
Only our nation can
and will be victorious.
At present the whole country
has become one military camp.
I mean Germany, Austria,
Norway,
part of Hungary and Italy,
the greater territory of Czech and
Bohemian protectorates,
Denmark, Holland.
This is the heart of European
civilization.
We've got in our hands the material
of victory.
Now it depends on us,
the military, how well
we can use this material
for the sake of our victory.
Believe me, the very first
devastating blows of our armies
will make the allied coalition
crumble down."

February of 1945,
the eve of the victory over nazism.
The events of the last week give us
full grounds for this statement.
The advance of the Russian armies
that has broken the nazi
defenses on the Oder,
their fortitude, displayed
in Hungary and Czechoslovakia,
have earned eternal glory
for the Red Army.
The fierce battles
on the sea attest to
the Allies' absolute superiority.
The armies of Eisenhower and Montgomery
are carrying on a successful offensive.
A complete victory
in the air and on the sea
is final and obvious.
The propaganda hype.
You may not translate.
Tell them to show our newsreels.
Run the latest reel of
"Die Deutsche Wochenschau", please.
A disgusting
propaganda hype.
- But it's true, Reichsfuhrer.
- Don't succumb to panic.
And you said we couldn't fight.
You're right,
we still can fight.
But we should have already
begun a dialogue with the West.
The delay means death.
It's spring of 1945,
not autumn of 1941, Reichsfuhrer.
Thank you for reminding me.
But in fact, each morning
I look at the calendar.
