00:00:00This is BBC London. Here is the German news broadcast. 10th of August, 1941. As of 10 o'clock, 175 German aircraft have been destroyed in today's raids over this country. The British ship Ark Royal was involved in battle with German fighters, but despite the heavy firing, the Ark Royal remains unharmed.
00:00:24Is that you up there? Yes, I'm a...
00:00:33Be still, my soul. The Lord is on thy side. Bear patiently thy cross of grief or pain.
00:00:48Thinking of Papa again.
00:00:50Guten Morgen, Schlafmütter. Morgen, Rudi.
00:00:53You were certainly out late last night. I was beginning to worry.
00:00:57I was just at Helmut's.
00:00:59Exactly.
00:01:09Rudi?
00:01:14Rudi?
00:01:15It says here that a British aircraft carrier named the Ark Royal has been sunk.
00:01:24What is it?
00:01:25The Ark Royal didn't sink. It's still afloat.
00:01:28And just how do you know that? Have you seen it yourself or did you have a dream?
00:01:32I'm not kidding, Rudi. The Ark Royal didn't sink. The newspaper is printing lies. This is the second time the German news has claimed to have sunk it. Helmut said that when...
00:01:41Helmut said. And how does he know?
00:01:44He... heard it somewhere.
00:01:46Whatever Helmut says, you believe. But no one can know for sure. We're at war. Everybody lies.
00:01:53But how do we know that everything we've been told hasn't been a lie?
00:01:55How do we know that it is?
00:01:56What if Germany isn't winning the war like we've been told?
00:01:58Slow down. Slow down. You don't know any of this for certain.
00:02:02Father told me not to get mixed up with the Nazis. You know the terrible things they've done to our Jewish friends. Remember Dr. Levenberg? Why would they stop short of lying about it?
00:02:11Fine. Let's say Helmut is right. The Nazi government has been lying to us. What then?
00:02:19We can't just sit here and take that. We've got to fight back.
00:02:23An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
00:02:26So you're saying we should do nothing? That I should sit here and do nothing while Hitler and the Nazis beat and kill and lie to us about it?
00:02:33No, I am not. But there are better ways to fight.
00:02:37Like what?
00:02:38The best way to fight cruelty and dishonesty is with compassion and truth.
00:02:45Promise me you'll remember what I said. And above all, that you won't do anything dangerous.
00:02:53I don't want to be late.
00:02:56I'm going to Helmets tonight, so I won't be here when you get home from work.
00:02:59Rudy!
00:03:00Don't worry. I'll be careful.
00:03:03Oh.
00:03:04Tschüss, Mati.
00:03:06I don't know.
00:03:09I don't know.
00:03:10But I'll be careful.
00:03:11Oh.
00:03:12I don't know.
00:03:13I don't know.
00:03:14I don't know.
00:03:15I don't know.
00:03:16It's okay.
00:03:17Oh.
00:03:18I don't know.
00:03:20I don't know.
00:03:22Oh, Lord.
00:03:24Oh!
00:03:25Oh!
00:03:26That's okay.
00:03:27I don't know.
00:03:28Oh, I'm breaking it.
00:03:29Oh!
00:03:30Oh!
00:03:31you didn't say anything to anyone did you no of course not my mother still doesn't trust you
00:03:48though what why the Lord Lister detective agency well that was five years ago is she ever gonna
00:03:57let me forget it maybe in your 50 well afraid I'm gonna lead you into more danger is that it
00:04:05something like that the only thing dangerous about listening to the radio is getting caught
00:04:11doing it and that wouldn't happen to such clever detectives as us besides I only listen late at
00:04:18night when Oma and Oprah are on bed anyway even if they did catch you it's not like they would
00:04:24report their own grandson to the Gestapo I still can't believe your brother left the shortwave
00:04:31radio to use as a matter of fact he hid it in the closet and made me promise not to touch it until
00:04:37his next leave that sounds more like Gerhard I have missed listening to those great American songs
00:04:43moonlight and roses bring wonderful memories of you good nobben there professor sorry to interrupt

00:06:47the truth about the war how can you know it's the truth they're the ones with all the facts what facts
00:06:51whenever the German news reports a battle it is always glorious victory for Germany and total defeat
00:06:57for everyone else the BBC gives numbers casualties amid setbacks and defeats for their own side as well
00:07:04as ours tell them about the Ark Royal what's the Ark Royal just British aircraft carrier the German news
00:07:12claims to have sunk twice twice see even you should know you can't sink a ship twice listen if Hitler was
00:07:22telling the truth why would government control information so tightly they destroy or make illegal any
00:07:27information they can't control why would they do this if they weren't lying to us look listen for
00:07:33yourself you'll see come on Carl what's the big deal I thought you hated the Nazis I don't like
00:07:39the Nazis of course but I'm not willing to risk my neck to listen to enemy broadcast they're Hitler's
00:07:45enemies I understand that all right don't you want to know the truth of course I want to know the
00:07:49truth it's just I just all right count me in only because I can't have you two feeling superior because

00:08:11arrested there are immense numbers of people who feel as you do reach out to one another and find
00:08:30strength in the knowledge that you are not alone you must have a rallying emblem to help you the V for
00:08:35victory is the symbol of the unconquerable will of the people a sign of our solidarity multiply this
00:08:42symbol around you use it as a greeting tap it out and Morse code whistle the tune of it let the enemy
00:08:48see it written everywhere and understand that we who oppose him are not few in number but our legion
00:08:54victory
00:08:55oh well who do we have this time Rudy Helmut and Carl is it do you think we can postpone church
00:09:15services just because you three couldn't get here in time sorry Heinrich we were just busy enjoying
00:09:21God's creations along the way yeah getting into trouble is more like it now help me set up the
00:09:27chapel before everyone else arrives yes sir wait a minute are we forgetting something
00:09:33Almighty God grant us thy spirit on this Sabbath day as we seek to do thy work reach forth thy hand to
00:09:48prevent our victory in this unholy war bring swift destruction to the Nazi government
00:09:54and make us free in the name of our Savior we ask these things amen
00:10:00there verbs you could be arrested for talking like that so I should go along with everything
00:10:08Hitler says just to keep myself safe well there's nothing wrong with keeping yourself safe Lord tells us to
00:10:13be truthful and to resist evil if I am doing what he asks he will protect me that doesn't give you the
00:10:19right to be reckless with your life God also gave you brains and expects you to make smart decisions
00:10:25you Helmut are too impertinent for your own good sorry I mean to say that yes God wants us to
00:10:33stand up for what is right but I think he expects us to think out the best way to go about it like what
00:10:38Helmut I don't know yet oh gee you must be our volunteers for this week thank you for your fine
00:10:49service oh it's no trouble there well Helmut I meant to ask you have you had a chance to finish those
00:10:54last batch of letters to our soldiers yet I'm not quite yet I'm having a hard time getting over here to
00:10:59use the typewriter because actually do you think I could bring the typewriter to my house so I can
00:11:09finish the letters easier I mean I don't see why not your trustworthy secretary as long as we know
00:11:18where it is I'll bring it with me after services today excellent keep up the good work we must do
00:11:26everything we can to support our soldiers who are fighting to return Germany to its rightful place
00:11:30in the Sun Heil Hitler he knew he was a party member yes but he usually keeps it separate from church
00:11:45well the party doesn't condemn Christianity they don't openly condemn it but they're opposed to
00:11:50anything or anyone they see is competing for loyalty with the Fuhrer and the party well so why can't you
00:11:56just do both what is the first commandment of every National Socialist what come on the ABCs of
00:12:01National Socialism what is the first one love Germany more than anything and what is the first
00:12:05commandment of God thou shalt have no other gods before me you cannot have faith in Hitler's eternal
00:12:11Germany and faith in the eternal kingdom of God but Ermoor is a Nazi and he believes in God and he
00:12:22wouldn't hurt anyone I agree he's one of the kindest people I know it's possible to do both well no he's
00:12:28managing to reconcile the two so far but once there's a conflict between them where where will
00:12:32his loyalties lie enough philosophical debate for one day you're a professor why don't you and Rudy come
00:12:39on over to my place again tonight sure all right you're gonna need the extra muscle to carry that
00:12:46typewriter home anyway
00:12:46honey what is it really you said that if you're doing what is right God will protect you
00:13:05are you sure the evil influence of the party is spreading everywhere we must resist evil and help
00:13:13spread the truth no matter the cost it's just that my mother doesn't want to do anything name let us
00:13:20begin with our opening hymn listen Rudy if you see your neighbor's house on fire you warn them you
00:13:28don't worry about your own safety and you don't knock politely on the door I will keep speaking out
00:13:33against the Nazis because I am speaking the truth and anyone who knows the truth has an obligation to
00:13:38do the same helmet why did you have to open your big mouth volunteer to take this typewriter home
00:14:00well I thought it might be useful useful for what I do have a lot of church work to do with it
00:14:05how much church work
00:14:07moonlight and roses bring wonderful memories of you
00:14:14my heart reposes in you
00:14:21let's see your identification cards

00:15:10it easy kid this isn't a place to pick fights report to your local Hitler Youth office this week we'll see if
00:15:17you're scared then why should I go for the honor of joining up of course now get off the streets
00:15:24before I report you but next time we hear your sorry voices screeching it better be a song of the fatherland
00:15:32fatherland

00:15:47we haven't done anything wrong
00:15:50the leaders of this country preach comradeship with one hand and threaten and bully with the other
00:15:55all the while saying we should be grateful for the honor
00:15:58people must see through these lies
00:16:02of course the propaganda department put another fresh piece of paper in their typewriter and a new game will begin
00:16:14helmet
00:16:20let's get those Nazi slaves
00:16:22yes let's sing
00:16:24how about a song for the fatherland
00:16:26moonlight and roses
00:16:30bring wonderful memories of you
00:16:34my heart
00:16:38my heart
00:16:48even if actual successes for the German army are lacking such are being officially fabricated so that the German people do not realize that everything that glitters is not gold
00:16:58resist the allure of false hope
00:17:00just because Hitler promises you financial and military success does not mean he has the power to bring it about
00:17:06Hitler entices you to follow him by holding out the golden promises of prosperity and power for you and your country
00:17:12but he blinds you so you will not see that the price for this promised greatness is your freedom
00:17:18Rudolf Volbe
00:17:32it has been two years since you've been old enough to join the Hitler Youth and yet we have seen nothing of you
00:17:38I've been very busy
00:17:40what would keep you so busy that you are not able to attend one single meeting
00:17:44work during the days and go to school in the evenings
00:17:46and on weekends
00:17:48I'm busy with my church
00:17:50it seems to me that you are trying to get out of joining the Hitler Youth
00:18:04it seems to me that you are trying to get out of joining the Hitler Youth
00:18:08why would that be?
00:18:10don't you like target shooting? camping trips? sporting competitions?
00:18:16I already know that you like singing
00:18:18is that not right?
00:18:20yes
00:18:22I see you like to get in fights
00:18:38we could teach you to fight properly
00:18:40what would be more important than that?
00:18:44I'm trying to bring glory to Germany
00:18:48by improving my mind
00:18:54well spoken Rudolf
00:18:56but I'm sure the Fuhrer would not want you to miss out on the wonderful opportunities
00:19:00the Hitler Youth provides
00:19:07take it
00:19:08I'll fill out the necessary paperwork later
00:19:12welcome to the Hitler Youth
00:19:14Heil Hitler
00:19:18hey kid
00:19:26I'm in a hurry
00:19:28not so tough now without your friends are you?
00:19:30tough enough to take you
00:19:32and I thought you were just a church clown
00:19:36who loves to dance in the streets singing love songs
00:19:38watch it
00:19:40or what?
00:19:41what can you do to me?
00:19:42why didn't you find out you coward?
00:19:44you better say your prayers now boy
00:19:46you're gonna need the help
00:19:48we don't need help to take you
00:20:02I tell you it's true
00:20:04one punch
00:20:06and down he went
00:20:07I was so mad
00:20:08I wasn't gonna let him push me again
00:20:10he must have been pretty small for you to knock him down
00:20:12you're just jealous
00:20:14because I'm the one getting all the action
00:20:16the action?
00:20:17defending the truth
00:20:18like Heinrich said
00:20:19Rudy you punched one person
00:20:21what good does that do?
00:20:22nothing
00:20:23why didn't you just join the Hitler Youth anyway?
00:20:26I did once
00:20:28what happened?
00:20:30I'd rather not talk about it if it's all the same to you
00:20:32well it's not all the same to me
00:20:37where have you been?
00:20:38it's almost time
00:20:39Herr Professor you don't look so good
00:20:41Heinrich Vorbes has been arrested by the Gestapo
00:20:45what?
00:20:46when? what happened?
00:20:47today I don't know all the circumstances
00:20:49but he was out on the street
00:20:50he said something bad about the Nazis
00:20:52someone reported him
00:20:53he was picked up immediately
00:20:55we warned him to be careful
00:20:57he was doing the right thing Karl
00:20:59and he'll do about as much good as you punching people
00:21:01at least I'm doing something
00:21:02why has this country come to?
00:21:04we're not even allowed to have opinions anymore
00:21:07if the party is so great and benevolent
00:21:10why are they so frightened of free thinking?
00:21:12they must be really scared if they're punishing people like Heinrich Vorbes
00:21:16he doesn't like Nazis that's for sure
00:21:18but his talk is completely harmless
00:21:20it's not idle talk they're afraid of
00:21:22what they fear more than anything
00:21:24is the German people learning the truth
00:21:26because then we could band together and defeat them
00:21:28well we have the truth and we can't change anything
00:21:30well that's exactly what they want you to think
00:21:32then let's do something
00:21:34like what?
00:21:35go around punching all the Nazis we see in the nose?
00:21:37Karl leave it alone
00:21:38you sound like my mother
00:21:39well maybe you should listen to one of us
00:21:40fine
00:21:41you're both right
00:21:43no more fights
00:21:44but if we want to make a real difference
00:21:46we have to get organized
00:21:49have a plan
00:21:50get organized?
00:21:51a plan?
00:21:52if the truth is what the Nazis are most afraid of
00:21:56then let's spread it
00:21:58and how do you propose we do that?
00:21:59we can't exactly invite all the people of Germany
00:22:01up into Elbert's attic to listen to the radio
00:22:03but we can bring the radio broadcast to the people
00:22:06what?
00:22:09we can bring the radio broadcast to the people
00:22:12you already have a plan
00:22:14I knew it
00:22:15what plan?
00:22:25Hitler the murderer?
00:22:28where did you get this?
00:22:30I told you to that typewriter would come in handy
00:22:34the broadcast
00:22:36how did you know-
00:22:37how did you know-
00:22:38I went to the radio
00:22:39I took notes in shorthand
00:22:40and I typed it up
00:22:41I typed that message verbatim
00:22:42but I have another one I wrote myself
00:22:44how did you get it stamped with the Nazi seal?
00:22:47well there are certain advantages to apprenticing in the social services department
00:22:52you can thank them for the red paper too
00:22:54effective, isn't it?
00:22:56this is a chain letter? pass it on
00:22:58oh I read that in a book
00:23:00if you say that
00:23:01the people will pass it from person to person
00:23:02so it will reach many more people than we could by ourselves
00:23:06how many do you have?
00:23:08a hundred
00:23:10a hundred?
00:23:11I used carbon paper so I only had to type it up twenty times
00:23:13what are you planning to do with all those?
00:23:15we'll put them in telephone booths
00:23:17mailboxes
00:23:18apartment houses
00:23:19anywhere we can get them
00:23:21we?
00:23:22yes
00:23:23me, you and Rudy
00:23:24the three masketeers
00:23:25I won't be a part of it
00:23:26don't you want to fight for freedom?
00:23:28be a part of our brotherhood
00:23:30our what?
00:23:37we want to be a brotherhood united
00:23:39to never part despite danger or want
00:23:44we want to be free
00:23:46as our fathers were
00:23:48and rather have death than to live in slavery
00:23:51we put our trust in the almighty God
00:23:53and are not afraid of the tyranny of man
00:23:55Hoffman
00:23:58Hoffman
00:24:00Schiller
00:24:02William Tell
00:24:03act two, scene two
00:24:04you and your band
00:24:05focus on dramatic speeches
00:24:06not this time, Helmut
00:24:08what's the matter, Carl?
00:24:10scared again?
00:24:11see, that's just it, isn't it?
00:24:13what you said just now
00:24:14about being afraid of the tyranny of man
00:24:16I am afraid
00:24:18alright, I'm terrified
00:24:19and you should be too
00:24:20you're right, Carl
00:24:22it's not a game
00:24:24you bet it's not a game
00:24:25it's not one of your silly plays either
00:24:27did you see what they did to Heinrich?
00:24:28he says one small thing about the government
00:24:30now he's locked up
00:24:31and you expect me to help print and distribute
00:24:33hundreds of flyers who say
00:24:34Hitler the murderer?
00:24:35Heinrich wasn't careful
00:24:37look, if we handle it right
00:24:39it will work
00:24:40I've thought it all out, trust me
00:24:41I don't know
00:24:45listen, Carl
00:24:50you know what brutality the Nazis are capable of
00:24:55don't you?
00:24:58we have to do something about it
00:25:04what good can three teenagers do?
00:25:09we can warn the people

00:26:20I have but done what I could not refuse
00:26:22it's been over a month now since the press and the radio in Germany grandly announced the results of the wool collection program
00:26:35over 70 million articles
00:26:36but where are the 70 million articles?
00:26:38the soldiers on the front haven't received them
00:26:39they do not write about them
00:26:40but only that they are freezing
00:26:41freezing
00:26:42and freezing

00:27:10a compulsory organization of the first order for the recruiting of Nazi enslaved national comrades
00:27:17Hitler and his accomplices know that they must deprive you of your free will
00:27:22in order to make submissive spineless creatures out of you
00:27:25for Hitler knows that his contemporaries are beginning gradually to see through him
00:27:29the murderer of millions
00:27:31Nazi propaganda is good
00:27:35it is very good
00:27:37but it is still not good enough to make gleaming
00:27:40never-before-seen kinds of victories
00:27:42out of miserable defeats and costly retreats
00:27:45out of lost battles and hopeless confusion
00:27:48without anyone noticing that something is rotten
00:27:51Hitler's new year's proclamation reveals all this in perfect clarity
00:27:55the year 1942 will decide
00:27:58and this decision is reserved for the German people
00:28:01long held in darkness to make
00:28:04soldiers on the home front
00:28:07soldiers on all fronts
00:28:08the Fuhrer has promised that this year will be decisive
00:28:11and that he will stop at nothing to keep his promise
00:28:14he will send you by the thousands into the fire to finish the crime that he started
00:28:18therefore we are calling out to you
00:28:20do not let your free will
00:28:22the most valuable thing you possess be taken away
00:28:25do not let yourself be suppressed and tyrannized
00:28:28Germans
00:28:29arise
00:28:30a determined deed can still rescue you and your country
00:28:33from the abyss to which Hitler has led you with his sweet talk
00:28:36by the thousands
00:28:37wives and children will become widows and orphans
00:28:40turn your back on the Hitler Youth
00:28:41the tool of the Hitler regime for your destruction
00:28:44make your decision
00:28:45before it is too late
00:28:46and throw off this unspeakable bird
00:28:48how much will you tolerate
00:28:49how long will you wait

00:33:43every
00:33:44every night
00:33:45I dream they are here to arrest me
00:33:47and take me back
00:33:48take me back
00:33:52what happened
00:33:54they
00:33:55made me sign a paper
00:33:56that said I had been treated well
00:34:04they told me if I ever said anything different
00:34:06they would
00:34:08they would find me and send me back
00:34:18what should we do
00:34:25I don't know
00:34:28maybe we should go
00:34:30we can't just leave her here like this
00:34:33I don't think he even knows we're still here
00:34:39be still my soul
00:34:43the Lord is on thy side
00:34:46bear patiently

00:35:13thy heavenly friend
00:35:16through thorny ways
00:35:18leads to
00:35:20a joyful end
00:35:23it was cold
00:35:29so very cold
00:35:32they forced us
00:35:34to stand outside
00:35:36naked
00:35:38knee deep in the snow
00:35:41our hands were shackled together in front
00:35:45and
00:35:47stretched out on a block
00:35:49the water
00:35:51dripped on our hands
00:35:55all night
00:35:57it would drip
00:35:59drip and freeze there
00:36:01then they would beat on our frozen hands
00:36:04until the ice was loose
00:36:05and our fingers were broken
00:36:07and our fingers were broken
00:36:13they called it a re-education process
00:36:16it must have been some education
00:36:21my place
00:36:23ten o'clock
00:36:25the night
00:36:27as often as we can
00:36:30until this ends
00:36:32as often as we can
00:36:34until this ends
00:36:35we have to go
00:36:37to the end
00:36:39of our
00:36:46our
00:36:48we will be
00:36:50in modern war
00:36:51the enemy fights
00:36:53not only with military weapons
00:36:55but also with the means to influence the people mentally and spiritually
00:36:57and break down their resistance
00:36:59the Nazi regime seeks to maintain strict control
00:37:01strict control over the information you receive so they alone can influence your
00:37:06thoughts and feelings. If the German people are to break free of this tyranny,
00:37:11they must first break free of the lies.
00:37:14Those of you listening to this broadcast, tell your friends and neighbors to tune in to the
00:37:18rebroadcast of this program tomorrow at 12 noon. The truth must be spread.
00:37:24Hitler's the guilty one. They're really going to love this one, Helmut.
00:37:32I just wish I could see the look on their Nazi faces when they read this.
00:37:36Do you think they've seen any? Maybe no one's turned one in yet.
00:37:40Unless someone's been taking them down, they've seen them.
00:37:43What do you mean? You know the bulletin boards outside the apartment buildings?
00:37:48The Nazi bulletin boards. For official party notices.
00:37:53I've been tacking leaflets to them.
00:37:57I've got to hand it to your one gutsy kid. Maybe I've misjudged you this whole time.
00:38:02I like it. At Heinrich's today. You knew exactly what to do.
00:38:08What made you think of singing, Rudy?
00:38:10We sang that song at my father's funeral.
00:38:15My mother always sings it when I...
00:38:18I just thought it might help Heinrich too.
00:38:23Good old Rudy.
00:38:25You're all right, kid.
00:38:27Does that mean you'll stop calling the kid?
00:38:31Nope.
00:38:32Hey, you better keep it quiet. You'll wake up my grandparents.
00:38:46You're okay, Helmut.
00:38:48Just as soon as I teach this kid how to expect his help.
00:38:51Give me this picture back to this old man what you can do.
00:38:54What are you doing?
00:38:55What?
00:38:57What?
00:39:01Dockumstrasse 42.
00:39:03This is the place.
00:39:17Open up! Stop him!
00:39:19Frau Ringen.
00:39:21What is it?
00:39:22Neighbors.
00:39:23Where's your husband?
00:39:24He...
00:39:25He's not here.
00:39:26We'll check for ourselves.
00:39:27Out of our way!
00:39:29What has he done?
00:39:30Tell me!
00:39:31What has he done?
00:39:32Here he is.
00:39:33I'll be back.
00:39:34Grandad, there has to be a mistake!
00:39:35Stop!
00:39:38Shut your mouth!
00:39:39Stop!
00:39:48Hi!
00:39:53Every night someone else disappears.
00:39:54For a minute, I thought it was gonna be us.
00:39:55They couldn't really be looking for us though, right?
00:39:56How would they even know that we're involved?
00:39:57If we continue to be careful, they shouldn't know.
00:39:59In the stories, it's always one member of the gang that slips up first and gets caught.
00:40:00Or gets tricked by a beautiful spy and rats out the others to save his own life.
00:40:05Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha .
00:40:06But, you've been reading too many spy novels, kid.
00:40:16In the stories, it's always one member of the gang that slips up first and gets caught.
00:40:23Or gets tricked by a beautiful spy and rats out the others to save his own life.
00:40:27You've been reading too many spy novels, kid.
00:40:32I don't think we need to worry about being seduced by a beautiful spy, Rudy.
00:40:37I know. I just mean that it's usually just one person that gets caught.
00:40:42So?
00:40:43Rudy's right.
00:40:45We should make a pact.
00:40:48That if we're caught, we will not, as Rudy's spy novels most eloquently put it, rat on the others.
00:40:55I thought we weren't going to get caught.
00:40:57Well, it's just precaution. In case those beautiful spies do get to us after all.
00:41:02Well, what should we say, Hamlet?
00:41:06Do each of you make this vow of your own free will and choice?
00:41:10Very well.
00:41:11I, Hamletubin.
00:41:23I, Rudolf Baube.
00:41:28I, Karl Heinz Schneebe, do hereby make a solemn vow.
00:41:38Do hereby make a solemn vow.
00:41:40That if I am caught, I will take the blame upon myself and not incriminate the others.
00:41:46No matter what method of questioning.
00:41:47Or torture.
00:41:48And even in the face of torture.
00:41:49No matter what method of questioning.
00:41:50And even in the face of torture.
00:41:51There.
00:41:52No matter what method of questioning.
00:41:53No matter what method of questioning.
00:41:54Or torture.
00:41:55And even in the face of torture.
00:42:00No matter what method of questioning.
00:42:02And even in the face of torture.
00:42:03There.
00:42:04That should do it.
00:42:09It feels so official now.
00:42:13Like we're a real resistance group.
00:42:15A brotherhood.
00:42:16United.
00:42:17To never part despite danger or one.
00:42:20part, despite danger or want. Sure, but I don't know if I can trust this kid to keep his mouth
00:42:25shot under torture. Worry about yourself. I can handle anything. Well, you should have seen your
00:42:29face about one minute ago. You weren't exactly calm either. Do you know that most of the prisoners
00:42:33of war here are French? What? Thousands of them in this military district alone.
00:42:39Saint-Bostol, Ubeck, Itsoho. You've lost me this time, Air Professor. Well, our first act as a now
00:42:46official resistance group is to translate the flyers into French and distribute them to the
00:42:52prisoners of war. Mensch. But Helmut, none of us speak French. Werner Kranz does. Werner Kranz.
00:43:01A boy I work with. I'm going to show him the flyer as soon as I get the chance. Those men are losing
00:43:06faith, Karl. Thanks to Hitler's propaganda. And we can bring them the truth. Give them cause to hope
00:43:12again. I don't know. Do you really think we should involve someone else? Well, Werner doesn't like
00:43:17Hitler any more than we do. And you can really trust him. Have I been wrong yet? I just don't
00:43:23think it's a good idea. Well, let's put it to a vote then. Uh, I vote yes. Karl votes? No.
00:43:28Rooney, what do you think? I think it's a great idea. Well, of course you do. That settles it then.
00:43:33Hopefully, I'll have the first French flyer by the end of the week. I'll also have another flyer for
00:43:38you to distribute as well. This is just the beginning. It's getting late. I think I should
00:43:48go. Me too. I hate lying to my mother about what we're doing. That's the only part of this
00:43:55I don't like. Well, you have to. It's the only way to keep her safe. I know. I won't say anything.
00:44:01Besides, by lying to a few people, we can bring the truth to many more. See you Sunday. Oh, and
00:44:11Helmut, don't get caught. Um, Karl? Yes? You don't have to keep doing this, you know. I know. Be careful,
00:44:29don't worry. Don't worry. Everything will be fine. Of course it will. It's a nice doom call.
00:44:59Where's Helmut? I haven't seen him. Do you think he slept in? Have you ever known Helmut to sleep in? You're right. He's probably just sick.
00:45:11Before our worship service begins, I have a special announcement to make. I regret to inform you that Helmut Hübner...
00:45:18Helmut Hübner was arrested by the Gestapo three days ago.
00:45:23Oh, what?
00:45:24What?
00:45:25What happened?
00:45:26I don't know any information other than that it was for political reasons. When we have more information, we'll update you. That is all.
00:45:32Carl, wait.
00:45:33Don't get away from me, Rudy. Do you want people to suspect us, too?
00:45:34But, Carl, what do we do?
00:45:35What can we do?
00:45:36What can we do?
00:45:37Helmut Hübner?
00:45:38We could run away. We could go to Switzerland, maybe.
00:45:39No, we can't do that. What would they do to our families if we suddenly disappeared?
00:45:40I don't know any information other than that it was for political reasons. When we have more information, we'll update you. That is all.
00:45:52Carl, wait.
00:45:53Don't get away from me, Rudy. Do you want people to suspect us, too?
00:45:58But, Carl, what do we do?
00:45:59What can we do?
00:46:00We could run away. We could go to Switzerland, maybe.
00:46:02We could run away. We could go to Switzerland, maybe.
00:46:04No, we can't do that. What would they do to our families if we suddenly disappeared?
00:46:07So you think we just sit and wait?
00:46:09We don't draw attention to ourselves. We pretend we're just as surprised as everyone else.
00:46:13But, Carl, we have to do something.
00:46:14We don't do anything. You and I never spent time together without Helmut, and people would be suspicious if we started now. If we have to, we'll talk at church again.
00:46:21But, Carl.
00:46:22What?
00:46:23Will Helmut be able to withstand torture?
00:46:25I don't know. I don't know. I expect it won't be long until we find out.
00:46:32But, Carl, what are they going to do to him?
00:46:33You stop it. Do you want to drive yourself crazy?
00:46:35Carl, what do I do if they question me?
00:46:36Well, tell them that you burned the leaflets. Tell them that you know you made an honest mistake. Tell them anything but the truth.
00:46:41Carl...
00:46:42No, no, no. No contact. I have to go. If Helmut... If Helmut... If all goes well, I'll see you next Sunday.
00:46:51But, Carl, I...
00:46:52Next Sunday!
00:46:53Dear God in Heaven, please help Helmut to withstand torture. Please, oh please, help him not to turn me in.
00:47:21Victor, Victor, please help me be safe.
00:47:28Victor, please help me be safe.
00:47:32Victor, please help me be safe.

00:47:57the disillusionment of the people they are desperate to regain control of the german

00:51:36he's broken the law they'll all be under suspicion who else is involved

00:52:49I'm sorry.
00:52:50I'm sorry, Elida.
00:52:51I just wanted to protect you.
00:52:53Is it bad?
00:52:56Yes, Muti.
00:52:58How bad?
00:52:59We've been listening to radio broadcasts.
00:53:02From England.
00:53:04Dance music.
00:53:06But for three curious boys, it's an innocent mistake.
00:53:10Not a mistake, Muti.
00:53:15We would listen to the BBC London.
00:53:18Elma typed up what we heard into anti-Nazi leaflets,
00:53:21and we distributed them throughout the city.
00:53:25Just once?
00:53:29How many times?
00:53:33Once or twice a week.
00:53:34For six months.
00:53:39Why did you do this after all that I said?
00:53:41I had to do something.
00:53:41But I said to be careful.
00:53:43Rudy!
00:53:45Open up, Gestapo.
00:53:47Did you hit you?
00:53:50The Lord will protect you.
00:53:51Open up!
00:53:52Rob Elbe, open this door.
00:53:54Be still, my soul.
00:53:56Open up!
00:53:57The Lord is on thy side.
00:54:00Bear patiently.
00:54:01Open up!
00:54:01I cross.
00:54:03I cross the tree for pain.
00:54:05No!
00:54:06No!
00:54:06Open the door immediately.
00:54:07I tried that already.
00:54:09Open up.
00:54:10I asked God for help.
00:54:12I asked him to help me not get caught.
00:54:14I prayed so hard, Ruthie.
00:54:19It didn't work.
00:54:21It didn't work!
00:54:22Rudy, that is not the way that...
00:54:24Are you Rudolph Vobin?
00:54:28Come with us.
00:54:32No, please.

01:01:51subject
01:01:53juvenile criminal case 87
01:01:54i hereby request an acceleration of the above mentioned case
01:02:00because my son
01:02:02who is now 16 years old
01:02:04is experiencing great emotional suffering in prison
01:02:07i am a war widow employed as a custodian
01:02:12it is very hard for me to be required to watch my only child go to pieces emotionally
01:02:17from the results of confinement
01:02:19i have great love and concern for rudy
01:02:21i have great love and concern for rudy despite his actions
01:02:25and now my nerves are all free because of his grief
01:02:29it is therefore
01:02:31my fondest wish that the main trial will be soon begun
01:02:34in order that i may be freed from this terrible uncertainty of what will become of my boy
01:02:39i have a great honor to be here for the first time i have a great honor to be here
01:02:43in the last time
01:02:45i have a great honor to be here
01:02:45in the last time
01:02:50It's been a pleasure.
01:02:52As always.
01:02:56Where's Holmes?
01:02:57None of your business.
01:03:00Your indictment papers?
01:03:02We don't have to put up with your smell around here much longer.
01:03:09We love Phoebe.
01:03:11Charged with preparation of high treason and aiding and abetting the enemy.
01:03:16Trial date, 11th of August, 1942, at People's Court of Germany.
01:03:24The Blood Tribunal.
01:03:25There must be a mistake.
01:03:27We're not dangerous criminals.
01:03:29We're supposed to be tried as juveniles.
01:03:31We're not dangerous criminals?
01:03:32The Blood Tribunal?
01:03:34You'll be punished for your crimes against Germany, you traitor.
01:03:37I didn't commit any crime.
01:03:39I just listened to...
01:03:40What?
01:03:43What did you do that was so innocent that it landed you a date
01:03:46with the People's Court?
01:03:47Huh?
01:03:48Come on!
01:03:48Tell us what you did!
01:03:50Huh?
01:03:51I don't have to confess to you.
01:03:54Come on.
01:03:55Let's go.
01:03:57Doesn't matter.
01:04:04You're being tried by the Blood Tribunal.
01:04:07You don't stand a chance.
01:04:11Let's go.
01:04:16Wait.
01:04:18What day is it today?
01:04:21The 28th of May.
01:04:30Two months.
01:04:36Just two more months.
01:04:38Take it off your handcuffs.
01:04:50So don't try anything foolish.
01:04:51I'm afraid we're not going to cut very dashing pictures of romantic resistance fighters.
01:05:12It's so good to see you again, Hammer.
01:05:15What a happy reunion this is.
01:05:17And what fine accommodations, too.
01:05:20An all-expense-paid trip to Berlin, courtesy of the Reich.
01:05:24It's good to see you too, Carl.
01:05:26Hello, kid.
01:05:28Air professor.
01:05:30Carl.
01:05:34Well...
01:05:35Might as well get comfortable.
01:05:38How long do you think it will take?
01:05:46The train?
01:05:47No, the trial.
01:05:50I don't know.
01:05:52You nervous?
01:05:54A little.
01:05:56But I'd rather be in the hands of an impartial judge than back with the Gestapo.
01:06:00Rudy, it's the People's Court.
01:06:01It was created by the Nazis, with judges handpicked by Hitler himself.
01:06:06How partial do you think they can be?
01:06:08Someone will speak for us.
01:06:10Probably not.
01:06:12I doubt the defense will produce any witness at all.
01:06:16What about our friends and family?
01:06:18Well, if they spoke for us, they'd be labeled traitors as well.
01:06:21I guess I hadn't really thought about it.
01:06:27Don't you remember how everyone deserted Heinrich?
01:06:29We have no one left at all.
01:06:32We have each other.
01:06:33For the time being, at least.
01:06:35Maybe there's no one willing to speak for us now.
01:06:39But once Hitler is defeated, everyone will be grateful for what we've done.
01:06:43We'll be heroes.
01:06:44Shut up!
01:06:46We're not heroes, Rudy!
01:06:48You're so naive!
01:06:49We've wasted our time.
01:06:51We've put our families in danger.
01:06:52We've endured torture.
01:06:54And Hitler continues to spread his lies.
01:06:56We've made no difference at all.
01:06:59Carl, what's gotten into you?
01:07:01What's gotten into me?
01:07:02Six months!
01:07:04Six months of torture and brutality.
01:07:08Moldy bread and soup that tastes like dirt.
01:07:11Not being able to sleep at night because I can't drown at the sound of constant screaming and crying.
01:07:16Not being able to sleep because I can't help but think about my future and my family and the danger that I've put them in.
01:07:27Six months of hell where the weak ones don't survive.
01:07:31We know what it's like in prison, Carl.
01:07:36I'm sorry.
01:07:38It's just I'm not going to be the one who's lost his mind blubbering in the corner.
01:07:43We all decided together to do what we could to pass on the truth.
01:07:48Well, I didn't plan on getting caught!
01:07:49And it's me you should be getting mad at, not Rudy!
01:07:51What happened, Homer?
01:08:06I spoke with Vernicrons about translating the flyers.
01:08:14When I showed him one, he was horrified.
01:08:16He shoved it back in my face.
01:08:17I didn't know the office overseer was watching.
01:08:25He questioned Werner, called the Gestapo.
01:08:29Ten minutes later, I was picked up.
01:08:34When the Gestapo took me to my house, they found the typewriter with a half-finished leaflet in it.
01:08:41It was going to be my best one yet.
01:08:43I knew then I didn't have much of a chance, but I thought I could still keep our promise.
01:08:55What did they do to you?
01:08:56They beat them to a pulp, kid. What do you think they did?
01:09:01Did they?
01:09:04I'm sorry I told them your names.
01:09:08I couldn't help it.
01:09:09We don't blame you on it.
01:09:17Do we, Carl?
01:09:19We were all idiots to think we could get away with it, that's all.
01:09:25Carl, did you confess?
01:09:29I told them I'd burn the flyers, if that's what you mean.
01:09:32Good.
01:09:36That's what I told them you did, too.
01:09:41Thank you, Rudy.
01:09:48This will all be over soon.
01:09:51Keep telling yourself that.
01:10:04Thank you for tuning in.
01:10:05I had Marcy.
01:10:09Thank you, Christopher.
01:10:19Helmet?
01:10:32Yeah, sure it is.
01:10:36We did make a difference.
01:10:39Didn't we?
01:10:42I...
01:10:42I don't know.
01:10:49Does it really matter so much?
01:10:53I mean, if you had the chance to do it again,
01:10:57to fight against evil,
01:11:01knowing perfectly well you wouldn't really change things,
01:11:05would you do it?
01:11:06I don't know.
01:11:34To be continued...
01:12:04To be continued...
01:12:34...and aiding and abetting the enemy in times of war.
01:12:37Schneeber, it says here that you admitted to reading the inflammatory flyers given to you by Hubena first in 1941.
01:12:45And that you were aware the contents had been gathered from intercepted enemy broadcast.
01:12:49You asked Hubena for more flyers in 1942.
01:12:52You admit to discussing some of the contents with the co-accused Vobae, but claim to have burned them without passing them to other persons.
01:12:59What were your motives in requesting these flyers from Hubena if not to pass them to others?
01:13:04I was just curious.
01:13:06Curious. Enough to ask for them repeatedly.
01:13:10It's possible that I asked him for each one he wrote.
01:13:12Possible?
01:13:14I don't remember exactly.
01:13:15Vobae, you admitted to distributing the inflammatory flyers given to you by Hubena in that same year,
01:13:21and that you were aware the contents had been gathered from intercepted enemy broadcasts.
01:13:26You tossed them in hallways, mailboxes, and attached some to Nazi party bulletin boards.
01:13:31What were your motives in helping so blatantly to defame the Reich?
01:13:34I don't know.
01:13:37I mean, I have no reason.
01:13:41Were you dissatisfied with the way the country was being run?
01:13:44Or angry with the government in some way?
01:13:47No, nothing like that.
01:13:48So you simply committed these crimes for no reason!
01:13:52I...
01:13:52I later realized I'd made a mistake.
01:13:58Hubena, you admitted to listening daily to the enemy broadcasts and then typing their propaganda into flyers.
01:14:04Which you sought to distribute to the people of Homburg.
01:14:07Thereby demoralizing the citizens of Germany and bringing them into danger.
01:14:11What possible reason did you have for distributing these newscastes?
01:14:14Before I state my reasons, I must say again that I alone am responsible for this.
01:14:20But why did you do it, boy?
01:14:22Or do you not know either?
01:14:24Quite the opposite, actually.
01:14:27I knew exactly why I did it.
01:14:29I wanted to share with others what I had heard.
01:14:31My goal was to point out the differences in the newscasts so they, too, would learn the truth.
01:14:37Do you really believe those horrific stories are the truth?
01:14:41Without a doubt.
01:14:42You ignorant children.
01:14:45What do you have against the Fuhrer?
01:14:48A man who has given us jobs.
01:14:50Who has put food back onto our tables.
01:14:52And purpose into our lives.
01:14:54A man who has rebuilt our country.
01:14:57And given us back a sense of national pride.
01:14:59A man who is leading us into glorious battle.
01:15:03So that the world will acknowledge again Germany's power.
01:15:07Hitler is a liar.
01:15:09A murderer.
01:15:10And a tyrant who has taken away our freedom and is destroying this country.
01:15:13Enough!
01:15:17Although you are charged as juveniles,
01:15:20the circumstances of the war make it impossible for the law to waver from imposing the harshest possible punishment.
01:15:25Therefore, the People's Court of Germany hereby sentence the following.
01:15:30For listening to a foreign radio station and distributing foreign radio news in connection with conspiracy to commit high treason to 10 years imprisonment.
01:15:50And treasonable support of the enemy of which we have written proof you are hereby sentenced to death.
01:16:08Do you have anything further to say?
01:16:11Schneeber.
01:16:14No.
01:16:16Vaubay.
01:16:18No.
01:16:20Huberner.
01:16:20Yes.
01:16:21I must die even though I have not committed any crime.
01:16:27Your turn is next.
01:16:28Vermin like you must be exterminated.
01:16:31The protection of all good German citizens demands it.
01:16:33Take them away!
01:16:34Take them away!
01:16:34Take them away!
01:16:34Take them away!
01:16:34Take them away!
01:16:36I don't believe they'll do it, Helmuth.
01:17:03They'll reduce the sentence, you're too young.
01:17:05He's right.
01:17:05Look at the wall.
01:17:11Franz Huber, sentenced to death.
01:17:15Goodbye, Mama.
01:17:18Sophie, take care of the children.
01:17:22Farewell, beloved.
01:17:26I do not want to die.
01:17:29Dietrich Schultz, sentenced to death.
01:17:35You still don't think they mean it?
01:17:40But it can't be.
01:17:43You knew they were going to do it, didn't you?
01:17:46They had to have someone to play.
01:17:48It didn't have to be you.
01:17:50You deliberately drew all the attention to yourself. Why?
01:17:53I was the one called first.
01:17:56Tricked by the beautiful spy.
01:18:00They can't do this to you.
01:18:03It isn't fair.
01:18:04Don't worry about me.
01:18:11I know God lives.
01:18:14He will be my judge.
01:18:19This can't be the last time we'll see you.
01:18:22We'll be together again.
01:18:25When this life is over.
01:18:26How about a song?
01:18:36Of the fatherland.
01:18:38One last time.
01:18:39Moonlight and roses bring wonderful memories of you.
01:18:51My heart reposes in beautiful thoughts so true.
01:19:02June night discloses.
01:19:08Love's golden dreams sparkling anew.
01:19:12Vobbe.
01:19:13Schneeber.
01:19:14You two were in the wrong cell.
01:19:19Huebner goes to Plotzensee to await execution.
01:19:22You go back to Hamburg.
01:19:23Come.
01:19:24Come.
01:19:25I'll be the same, my friend.
01:19:26I'll be the same.
01:19:27I'll be the same, my friend.
01:19:28I'll be the same.
01:19:29I'll be the same, my friend.
01:19:30I'll be the same, my friend.
01:19:32I'll be the same.
01:19:40Never both booty.
01:19:42No.
01:19:43No.
01:19:44Remember me.
01:19:45No.
01:19:46No.
01:19:47No.
01:19:48No.
01:19:49No.

01:20:05No.
01:20:07No.
01:20:09No.
01:20:11No.
01:20:12No.
01:20:13No.
01:20:14No.
01:20:18I don't know.
01:20:48The 20th of August, 1942, Altmoabi Prison.
01:20:56Dearest Amulti, I am all alone now.
01:21:02The trial is over, and I have said goodbye to my friend Helmut, forever.
01:21:08I was so naive, thinking we could make a difference.
01:21:13I thought we could change the world, but now I see that I am nothing.
01:21:18I have accomplished nothing, and life means nothing to me anymore.
01:21:26I hope my life will not last long.
01:21:33Oh Mutti, I'm sorry for everything.
01:21:38I don't know what to do.
01:21:40I can't face ten years in this place all alone.
01:21:47Mutti.
01:21:48I just want to die.
01:21:53Mein Liebster Rudiken.
01:21:56You resist the temptation to give in to despair.
01:21:59You must survive and continue the fight.
01:22:03I can't.
01:22:06There is no one to help me.
01:22:10I am all alone here.
01:22:13I am so alone.
01:22:17No, Rudy.
01:22:19No.
01:22:20You are never alone.
01:22:30Even when there is no one else.
01:22:33God is with you always.
01:22:37Turn to Him.
01:22:40And He will help you resist the despair and the evil influences that surround you.
01:22:45Without Him, we are, all of us, weak.
01:22:51But with Him, we can be made strong.
01:22:56All is living.
01:22:59Mutti.
01:23:00Mutti.
01:23:23To God in Heaven, help me.
01:23:30Please.
01:23:32Please.
01:23:33Help me to not feel so alone.
01:23:36I can't do it without you.
01:23:40Please.
01:23:45Please.
01:23:47Please.
01:23:50God, please.
01:23:55Please.
01:23:56Please.
01:24:22Hello?
01:24:35Guard! Guard!
01:24:40What is it?
01:24:42Where's that singing coming from?
01:24:44There's a chapel below us. It's the Sunday service.
01:24:52There's a chapel below us.
01:24:57You're not in any way.
01:25:02I'm in any way.
01:25:04I'm in any way.
01:25:08I'm in any way.
01:25:12She filled my song, thy death, thy very friend.
01:25:23Who I betray thee, who I find all day.
01:25:42Be still, my soul, thy God, on the thunder's day, to guide the future as thee.
