That was the morning of February 21.
I was driving to Ervin and Ket to talk about
the reply from the spy Center in Moscow.
I got into traffic there. The area there
was very damaged after a night bombing.
I lost at least 20 minutes waiting
in that traffic over there.
OK. Let's see what was then.
I was going to Doroteye shtrasse.
I turned left to Beiradei shtrasse as a
shortcut to the Doroteye shtrasse.
But it was not allowed to drive through there.
The fire trucks were blocking the road.
And because of that, I had to take
a detour all around that mess.
Then I drove on Kepening shtrasse.
There I was stopped once again.
There was a strange looking young
officer, who didn't let me go.
It is necessary to recall him...
I remember that I thought something
about that police officer. Yes, I was
actually thinking about Ervin and Ket
and suddenly caught myself thinking
that the young officer has tuberculosis.
He, the young police officer, was
a little bit coughing all the time.
I can't recall the other officer at all.
But I clearly remember this young one.
I showed him my SD ID Card.
Not too bad so far.
Then I helped some woman. I lifted items
from the ground, pushed her baby stroller.
There were some things in that stroller.
She was holding the baby in her arms.
Let's look at this picture with a
slightly different representation.
What if this woman had a suitcase?
Wait a minute! This is it!
Yes, she did have a suitcase. I helped
her with her baby stroller and ...
I also helped her by carrying her
suitcase that she did have.
This is the only chance I have and
I must it use or I am a dead man.
Here it is. I got it!
This is my only chance.
Please let Gruppenfurer Muller urgently
know that I did recall everything.
Please tell him to see me at once.
I'll do it right away, shtandartenfurer, sir.
So, I ended up by Ket's building only
because the police detoured the traffic.
I spoke with a young policeman, I remember
his face, and he should recall me too.
I showed him my Special SD ID Card
and he did look at it.
He was looking at me, when I was
rolling that woman's baby stroller.
Consequently, he will confirm
that I rolled that baby stroller.
So, I will say that I also helped
the woman with some suitcases.
If the policeman saw me with the baby
stroller, so then, he will not be able,
to, confidently, confirm or deny that
I carried the woman's suitcase for her.
And that is exactly what I need.
What's going on? Did something
improbable just happen, Bitner?
Let me guess what has just happened.
We took Moscow and occupied Russia.
Shtirlitz requested to let you know that
he recalled everything, gruppenfurer.
- When did he come up with that?
- Recently. Just now.
- Any new data on that SS soldier?
- No, not really or not much rather.
- What precisely did you gather?
- Something about his wife and a child.
This is not just "something". Any small
details are important, in a case like this.
- Did you talk to his wife already?
- Yes, his wife left him for someone else.
He almost died in the hospital, so his
wife left him for someone in Munich.
- Who is that person she is with now?
- He’s some young officer of Luftwaffe.
- You mentioned a child. Where is it?
- His wife gave it up to a foster house.
- Where’s that foster house located?
- It's on Motzart shtrasse, 7.
We also got some information
about this soldier's mother.
There may be some shooting there,
so make sure your big guns are loaded.
- Where is that foster house?
- At Motsart shtrasse, 8.
You are wrong again! You always mix up
and confuse even and odd numbers.
- Hello. What can I do for you?
- Hello. I am Helmut Kalder.
My daughter Ursula is here...
I came back to see my daughter...
- Well, the children are asleep now.
- I leave for the front today. Please...
- I just want to see her having a nap.
- I am afraid it is not allowed.
But I leave for the front today.
Please. I am begging you.
