00:00:00...but despite the heavy firing, the Ark Royal remains unharmed.
00:00:04Are you sure? Is that you up there?
00:00:07Yes, I'm a...
00:00:08Be still, my soul. The Lord is on thy side.
00:00:21Bear patiently thy cross of grief or pain.
00:00:28Thinking of Papa again.
00:00:30Guten Morgen, Schlafmütter.
00:00:32Morgen, Rudi.
00:00:33You were certainly out late last night. I was beginning to worry.
00:00:37I was just at Helmets.
00:00:39Exactly.
00:00:49Rudi?
00:00:54Rudi?
00:00:55It says here that a British aircraft carrier named the Ark Royal has been sunk.
00:01:04What is it?
00:01:05The Ark Royal didn't sink. It's still afloat.
00:01:08And just how do you know that? Have you seen it yourself or did you have a dream?
00:01:12I'm not kidding, Muti. 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...
00:01:21Helmut said. And how does he know?
00:01:24He heard it somewhere.
00:01:26Whatever Helmut says, you believe. But no one can know for sure we're at war. Everybody lies.
00:01:32But how do we know that everything we've been told hasn't been a lie?
00:01:35How do we know that it is?
00:01:36What if Germany isn't winning the war like we've been told?
00:01:38Slow down. Slow down. You don't know any of this for certain.
00:01:42Father told me not to get mixed up with the Nazis.
00:01:44You know the terrible things they've done to our Jewish friends. Remember, Dr. Levenberg? Why would they stop short of lying about it?
00:01:52Fine. Let's say Helmut is right. The Nazi government has been lying to us. What then?
00:02:00We can't just sit here and take that. We've got to fight back.
00:02:04An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
00:02:06So you're saying we should do nothing?
00:02:08That I should sit here and do nothing while Hitler and the Nazis beat and kill and lie to us about it?
00:02:14No, I am not. But there are better ways to fight.
00:02:17Like what?
00:02:19The best way to fight cruelty and dishonesty is with compassion and truth.
00:02:25Promise me you'll remember what I said. And above all, that you won't do anything dangerous.
00:02:32I don't want to be late.
00:02:36I'm going to Helmut's tonight, so I won't be here when you get home from work.
00:02:39Rudy!
00:02:40Don't worry. I'll be careful.
00:02:44You'll be careful.
00:02:45ivat
00:03:14you didn't say anything to anyone did you no of course not my mother still doesn't trust you
00:03:28though what why the lord lister detective agency well that was five years ago is she ever gonna
00:03:37let me forget it maybe in your 50 well afraid I'm gonna lead you into more danger is that it
00:03:45something like that the only thing dangerous about listening to the radio is getting caught
00:03:51doing it and that wouldn't happen to such clever detectives as us besides I only listen late at
00:03:58night when Oma and Oprah are on bed anyway even if they did catch you it's not like they would
00:04:04report their own grandson to the Gestapo I still can't believe your brother left a shortwave radio
00:04:11to use as a matter of fact he hid it in the closet and made me promise not to touch it until his next
00:04:18leave that sounds more like Gerhard I have missed listening to those great American songs though
00:04:23moonlight and roses bring wonderful memories of you good nobben there professor sorry to interrupt
00:04:36your little concert there Carl come in what's he doing here oh he's in on the secret I'm going to
00:04:43share with you I'm Helmut's friends too see I just I don't usually socialize with kids you're only two
00:04:50years older than me well there's a big difference between 15 and 17 helmets only 16 and there's a
00:04:55big difference between 15 and 16 by the time your helmets age will be yet another case of innocent
00:05:00childhood lost to the harsh realities of the adult world so enjoy it now kid oh now the kids angry
00:05:08right you too I didn't bring you here to fight what did you bring me here for anyway air professor
00:05:14oh so this is the radio you were telling me about what have you been listening to you get any good
00:05:24dance music on it you two look as though you're about to explode it's not just any radio it has shortwave
00:05:36shortwave how far can you hear far enough it's almost time helmet we want you to listen to our
00:05:44favorite program
00:05:45this is BBC London here is the German news broadcast with the British Broadcasting Corporation are you too
00:05:59crazy what's the matter Carl you aren't scared are you listening to dance music illegally is one thing
00:06:03but listening to enemy broadcast is treason the British are not our enemies look here professor
00:06:08I think this allied propaganda is going to your head because last time I checked the British were
00:06:11dropping bombs on we are being lied to and the British are trying to bring us the truth you mean
00:06:16the British are the ones lying to us no Carl Helmut's right Hitler's been lying to us about the war and
00:06:20how well it's going every night at 10 o'clock the BBC broadcasts a special news report for the German
00:06:26people telling us the truth about the war how can you know it's the truth they're the ones with all the
00:06:31facts what facts whenever the German news reports a battle it is always glorious victory for Germany
00:06:36and total defeat for everyone else the BBC gives numbers casualties admits setbacks and defeats for
00:06:43their own side as well as ours tell them about the Ark Royal what's the Ark Royal just a British
00:06:50aircraft carrier the German news claims to have sunk twice twice see even you should know you can't sink a
00:06:59ship twice look listen if Hitler was telling the truth why would government control information so tightly
00:07:05they destroy or make illegal any information they can't control why would they do this if
00:07:10they weren't lying to us look listen for yourself you'll see come on Carl what's the big deal I thought you
00:07:18hated the Nazis I don't like the Nazis of course but I'm not willing to risk my neck to listen to enemy broadcasts
00:07:25Hitler's enemies I understand that all right don't you want to know the truth of course I want to know
00:07:29the truth it's just I just I just all right count me in only because I can't have you two feeling
00:07:43superior because you know more than me but listen you better keep your mouth shut about this kid
00:07:50I don't want to get arrested
00:07:51one of the enemy's greatest tools is making you believe you are the only one who opposes them
00:08:02but we tell you that you are not the only one there are immense numbers of people who feel as you do
00:08:08reach out to one another and find strength in the knowledge that you are not alone
00:08:12you must have a rallying emblem to help you the V for victory is the symbol of the unconquerable will
00:08:18of the people a sign of our solidarity multiply this symbol around you use it as a greeting
00:08:24tap it out and Morse code whistle the tune of it let the enemy see it written everywhere
00:08:29and understand that we who oppose him are not few in number but our legion victory
00:08:35oh well who do we have this time Rudy Helmut and Carl is it do you think we can postpone church
00:08:55services just because you three couldn't get here in time sorry Heinrich we were just busy enjoying God's
00:09:02creations along the way getting into trouble is more like it now help me set up the chapel before
00:09:08everyone else arrives yes sir wait a minute are we forgetting something
00:09:20almighty God grant us thy spirit on this sabbath day as we seek to do thy work reach forth thy hand to
00:09:28prevent our victory in this unholy war bring swift destruction to the nazi government
00:09:34and make us free in the name of our savior we ask these things amen
00:09:42there verbs you could be arrested for talking like that so i should go along with everything
00:09:48hitler says just to keep myself safe well there's nothing wrong with keeping yourself safe lord tells us
00:09:52to be truthful and to resist evil if i am doing what he asks he will protect me that doesn't give
00:09:59you the right to be reckless with your life god also gave you brains and expects you to make smart
00:10:04decisions you helmet are too impertinent for your own good sorry i i mean to say that yes god wants us to
00:10:13stand up for what is right but i think he expects us to think out the best way to go about it like what helmet
00:10:19i don't know yet good in touch boys hello chief you must be our volunteers for this week thank you for
00:10:28your fine service oh it's no trouble there muller well helmet i meant to ask you have you had a chance
00:10:34to finish those last batch of letters to our soldiers yet not quite yet i'm having a hard time getting
00:10:38over here to use the typewriter because actually uh do you think i could bring the typewriter to my house
00:10:48so i can finish the letters easier i mean i don't see why not you're a trustworthy secretary
00:10:57as long as we know where it is danke i'll bring it with me after services today excellent keep up the
00:11:04good work we must do everything we can to support our soldiers who are fighting to return germany to
00:11:09its rightful place in the sun heil hitler he knew he was a party member yes but he usually keeps it
00:11:24separate from church well the party doesn't condemn christianity they don't openly condemn it but they're
00:11:30opposed to anything or anyone they see is competing for loyalty with the fuhrer and the party well so why
00:11:35can't you just do both what is the first commandment of every national socialist what come on the abc's
00:11:41of national socialism what is the first one love germany more than anything and what is the first
00:11:45commandment of god thou shalt have no other gods before me you cannot have faith in hitler's eternal
00:11:51germany and faith in the eternal kingdom of god but but earmuller is
00:11:59a nazi and he believes in god and he wouldn't hurt anyone i agree he's one of the kindest people i
00:12:05know so it's possible to do both well no he's managing to reconcile the two so far but once there's
00:12:10a conflict between them where where will his loyalties lie enough philosophical debate for one day
00:12:16your professor why don't you and rudy come on over to my place again tonight sure all right you're
00:12:24gonna need the extra muscle to carry that typewriter home anyway honey what is it really you said that
00:12:42if you're doing what is right god will protect you are you sure the evil influence of the party is
00:12:50spreading everywhere we must resist evil and help spread the truth no matter the cost it's just that
00:12:57my mother doesn't want to do anything name let us begin with our opening hymn listen if you see your
00:13:05neighbor's house on fire you warn them you don't worry about your own safety and you don't knock politely on
00:13:10the door i will keep speaking out against the nazis because i am speaking the truth and anyone who
00:13:16knows the truth has an obligation to do the same
00:13:21helmet why did you have to open your big mouth and volunteer to take this typewriter home well i
00:13:40thought it might be useful useful for what i do have a lot of church work to do with it how much
00:13:46that's true moonlight and roses bring wonderful memories of you my heart reposes in beautiful
00:14:04let's see your identification cards

00:14:51this isn't a place to pick fights report to your local hitler youth office this week
00:14:56we'll see if you're scared then why should i go for the honor of joining up of course
00:15:03now get off the streets before i report you but next time we hear your sorry voices screeching
00:15:10it better be a song of the fatherland
00:15:26and report us
00:15:29we haven't done anything wrong
00:15:32the leaders of this country preach comradeship with one hand and threaten and bully with the other
00:15:36all the while saying we should be grateful for the honor
00:15:41people must see through these lies
00:15:44of course the propaganda department put another
00:15:47fresh piece of paper in their typewriter and a new game will begin
00:15:50helmet
00:16:01let's get those nazi slaves yes let's sing how about a song for the fatherland
00:16:06moon light and roses bring wonderful memories of you
00:16:29even if actual successes for the german army are lacking such are being officially fabricated so
00:16:34that the german people do not realize that everything that glitters is not gold
00:16:39resist the allure of false hope just because hitler promises you financial and military success
00:16:44does not mean he has the power to bring it about
00:16:47hitler entices you to follow him by holding out the golden promises of prosperity and power
00:16:52for you and your country but he blinds you so you will not see that the price for this promised
00:16:58greatness is your freedom
00:17:06it has been two years since you've been old enough to join the hitler youth and yet we have seen nothing of you
00:17:22i've been very busy
00:17:24what would keep you so busy that you are not able to attend one single meeting
00:17:29i work during the days and go to school in the evenings and on weekends i'm busy with my church
00:17:44it seems to me that you are trying to get out of joining the hitler youth
00:17:49why would that be don't you like target shooting camping trips sporting competitions
00:17:57i already know that you like singing is that not right yes
00:18:08i see you like to get in fights
00:18:18we could teach you to fight properly what would be more important than that
00:18:26i'm trying to bring glory to germany by improving my mind
00:18:34well spoken rudolph but i'm sure the fuhrer would not want you to miss out on the wonderful
00:18:38opportunities the hitler youth provides
00:18:47take it i'll fill out the necessary paperwork later
00:18:50welcome to the hitler youth heil hitler
00:18:59heil hitler
00:19:06hey kid
00:19:08i'm in a hurry not so tough now without your friends are you tough enough to take you
00:19:12and i thought you were just a church clown who loves to dance in the streets singing love songs
00:19:19watch it or what what can you do to me why didn't you find out you're coward
00:19:25you better say your prayers now boy you're gonna need the help i don't need help to take you
00:19:38i tell you it's true one punch and down he went i was so mad i wasn't gonna let him push me again
00:19:50he must have been pretty small for you to knock him down you're just jealous because i'm the one
00:19:55getting all the action the action defending the truth like heinrich said rudy you punched one person
00:20:01what good does that do nothing why didn't you just join the hillary youth anyway i did once
00:20:09what happened i'd rather not talk about it if it's all the same to you well it's not all the same
00:20:13to me where have you been it's almost time professor you don't look so good
00:20:22heinrich vorbs has been arrested by the gestapo what when what happened today i don't know all the
00:20:28circumstances but he was out on the street he said something bad about the nazis and someone
00:20:32reported him he was picked up immediately we warned him to be careful he was doing the right thing carl
00:20:39and he'll do about as much good as you punching people at least i'm doing something why is this
00:20:43country come to we're not even allowed to have opinions anymore if the party is so great and benevolent
00:20:50why are they so frightened of free thinking they must be really scared if they're punishing people like
00:20:55heinrich and worms he doesn't like nazis that's for sure but his talk is completely harmless it's
00:21:01not idle talk they're afraid of what they fear more than anything is the german people learning the
00:21:06truth because then we could band together and defeat them well we have the truth and we can't
00:21:10change anything well that's exactly what they want you to think then let's do something like what
00:21:15go around punching all the nazis we see in the nose carl leave it alone you sound like my mother
00:21:19well maybe you should listen to one of us fine you're both right no more fights but if we want
00:21:26to make a real difference we have to get organized have a plan get organized a plan if the truth is
00:21:35what the nazis are most afraid of then then let's spread it and how do you propose we do that we can't
00:21:40exactly invite all the people of germany up into elbert's attic to listen to the radio but we can bring
00:21:44the radio broadcast to the people what we can bring the radio broadcast to the people you already have
00:21:53a plan i knew it what plan hitler the murderer where did you get this i told you to that typewriter would
00:22:11come in handy broadcast um how did you know the radio i took notes in shorthand and i typed it up
00:22:21i typed that message verbatim but i have another one i wrote myself how did you get it stamped with
00:22:26the nazi seal well there are certain advantages to apprenticing in the social services department
00:22:32you can thank them for the red paper too effective isn't it this is a chain letter pass it on oh i read
00:22:39that in the book if you say that the people will pass it from person to person so it will reach many
00:22:44more people than we could buy ourselves how many do you have a hundred a hundred i used carbon paper
00:22:52so i only had to type it up 20 times what are you planning to do with all those we'll put them in
00:22:56telephone booth mailboxes apartment houses anywhere we can get them we yes me you and rudy they're
00:23:05musketeers i won't be a part of don't you want to fight for freedom be a part of our brotherhood or what
00:23:17we want to be a brotherhood united to never part despite danger or want
00:23:25we want to be free as our fathers were and rather have death than to live in slavery
00:23:30we put our trust in the almighty god and are not afraid of the tyranny of man
00:23:38hopman schiller william tell act two scene two you and your band books and dramatic speeches
00:23:48not this time helmet what's the matter carl scared again see that's just it isn't it what you said just
00:23:54now about being afraid of the tyranny of man i am afraid all right i'm terrified and you should be
00:24:01too well you're right carl it's not a game you bet it's not a game it's not one of your silly plays
00:24:07either did you see what they did to heinrich he says one small thing about the government now he's locked
00:24:12up and you expect me to help print and distribute hundreds of flyers who say hitler the murderer
00:24:16heinrich wasn't careful look if we handle it right it will work i've thought it all out trust me
00:24:23i don't know listen carl
00:24:30you know what brutality the nazis are capable of
00:24:35don't you
00:24:38we have to do something about it
00:24:40what good can three teenagers do
00:24:49we can warn the people bring them to the point of asking questions and saying wait a minute
00:24:55something's not right i want to learn the truth myself once enough people know the truth who knows
00:25:02what can happen rudy bobby hero of the resistance carl
00:25:12can i think about it first
00:25:16sure i'll go home and think about it all you want
00:25:21but can you distribute these along the way
00:25:33remember telephones mailboxes wherever you can
00:25:38aye aye
00:25:40come on rudy
00:25:43don't get caught
00:25:53should the threatening storm o'erwellness
00:26:04i have but done what i could not refuse
00:26:14it's been over a month now since the press and the radio in germany grandly announced the results
00:26:27of the wool collection program over 70 million articles but where are the 70 million articles
00:26:35the soldiers on the front haven't received them they do not write about them but only that they are
00:26:39freezing freezing and freezing some more vainly waiting for some warm winter clothing
00:26:46german youths are you actually aware of what the hitler youth is and what goals it pursues
00:26:52a compulsory organization of the first order for the recruiting of nazi enslaved national comrades
00:26:58hitler and his accomplices know that they must deprive you of your free will in order to make
00:27:03submissive spineless creatures out of you for hitler knows that his contemporaries are beginning
00:27:08gradually to see through him the murderer of millions
00:27:13nazi propaganda is good it is very good but it is still not good enough to make gleaming
00:27:20never before seen kinds of victories out of miserable defeats and costly retreats
00:27:25out of lost battles and hopeless confusion without anyone noticing that something is rotten
00:27:31hitler's new year's proclamation reveals all this in perfect clarity
00:27:36the year 1942 will decide and this decision is reserved for the german people long held in darkness
00:27:43to make soldiers on the home front soldiers on all fronts the fuhrer has promised that this year will
00:27:50be decisive and that he will stop at nothing to keep his promise he will send you by the thousands into
00:27:56the fire to finish the crime that he started therefore we are calling out to you do not let
00:28:01your free will the most valuable thing you possess be taken away do not let yourself be suppressed and
00:28:07tyrannized germans arise a determined deed can still rescue you and your country from the abyss to which
00:28:14hitler has led you with his sweet talk by the thousands wives and children will become widows and orphans
00:28:20turn your back on the hitler youth the tool of the hitler regime for your destruction make your
00:28:25decision before it is too late and throw off this unspeakable burden how much will you tolerate
00:28:30how long will you wait germany awake
00:28:43good morning slough mutter
00:28:58another late night
00:29:02another late night
00:29:04yes with helmet again

00:35:10so very cold
00:35:14they forced us to stand outside naked
00:35:17knee deep in the snow
00:35:23our hands were shackled together in front
00:35:26and stretched out on a block
00:35:29the water
00:35:29the water dripped on our hands
00:35:35all night it would trip
00:35:38drip and freeze there
00:35:41then they would beat on our frozen hands
00:35:43until the ice was loose
00:35:47and our fingers were broken
00:35:54they called it a re-education process
00:35:56it must have been some education
00:36:06my place
00:36:0810 o'clock
00:36:09the night
00:36:12as often as we can until this ends
00:36:25in modern war the enemy fights not only with military weapons
00:36:34but also with the means to influence the people mentally and spiritually
00:36:37and break down their resistance
00:36:39the Nazi regime seeks to maintain strict control over the information you receive
00:36:44so they alone can influence your thoughts and feelings
00:36:48if the german people are to break free of this tyranny
00:36:51they must first break free of the lies
00:36:54those of you listening to this broadcast
00:36:56tell your friends and neighbors to tune into the rebroadcast of this program
00:37:00tomorrow at 12 noon
00:37:02the truth must be spread
00:37:08Hitler's the guilty one
00:37:10they're really going to love this one helmet
00:37:13i just wish i could see the look on their nazi faces when they read this
00:37:17you think they've seen any
00:37:18maybe no one's turned one in yet
00:37:21unless someone's been taking them down
00:37:23they've seen them
00:37:24what do you mean
00:37:26you know the bulletin boards outside the apartment buildings
00:37:29the nazi bulletin boards
00:37:31for official party notices
00:37:33i've been tacking leaflets to them
00:37:37i've got to hand it to your one gutsy kid
00:37:40maybe i've misjudged you this whole time
00:37:43like it
00:37:45at heinrich's today
00:37:46you knew exactly what to do
00:37:49what made you think of singing rudy
00:37:51we sang that song at my father's funeral
00:37:55my mother always sings it when i
00:37:58i just thought it might help heinrich too
00:38:03good old rudy
00:38:04you're all right kid
00:38:07does that mean you'll stop calling the kid
00:38:12nope
00:38:12you better keep it quiet you'll wake up my grandparent
00:38:27okay now what just as soon as i teach this kid how to expect his help
00:38:31you need to figure out what the man would use to do
00:38:38what
00:38:41doctor starts at 42
00:38:43this is the place
00:38:44Open up!
00:38:58Stop him!
00:38:59What is it?
00:39:02Neighbors.
00:39:03Where's your husband?
00:39:04He's not here.
00:39:06We'll check for ourselves.
00:39:08Out of our way.
00:39:09What has he done?
00:39:10Tell me, what has he done?
00:39:12Here he is.
00:39:12I'll be back.
00:39:13Grandad, there has to be a mistake.
00:39:18Shut your mouth.
00:39:39Every night someone else disappears.
00:39:41And for a minute, I thought it was going to be us.
00:39:47They couldn't really be looking for us, though, right?
00:39:50How would they even know that we're involved?
00:39:52If we continue to be careful, they shouldn't know.
00:39:55In the stories, it's always one member of the gang that slips up first and gets caught.
00:40:03Or gets tricked by a beautiful spy and rats out the others to save his own life.
00:40:11You've been reading too many spy novels, kid.
00:40:13I don't think we need to worry about being seduced by a beautiful spy, Rudy.
00:40:17I know.
00:40:18I just mean that it's usually just one person that gets caught.
00:40:23So?
00:40:24Rudy's right.
00:40:26We should make a pact.
00:40:28That if we're caught, we will not, as Rudy's spy novels most eloquently put it, rat on the others.
00:40:35I thought we weren't going to get caught.
00:40:38Well, it's just precaution.
00:40:39In case those beautiful spies do get to us after all.
00:40:43Well, what should we say, Ham?
00:40:47Do each of you make this vow of your own free will and choice?
00:40:55Very well.
00:40:55I, Ham, Othuban.
00:41:07I, Rudolf Fobay.
00:41:13I, Karl Hine-Shnibbe.
00:41:16Do hereby make a solemn vow.
00:41:18Do hereby make a solemn vow.
00:41:21That if I am caught, I will take the blame upon myself.
00:41:24And not incriminate the others.
00:41:27That if I am caught, I will take the blame upon myself.
00:41:30And not incriminate the others.
00:41:32No matter what method of questioning.
00:41:34Or torture.
00:41:38And even in the face of torture.
00:41:40No matter what method of questioning.
00:41:43And even in the face of torture.
00:41:47There.
00:41:49That should do it.
00:41:52It feels so official now.
00:41:54Like we're a real resistance group.
00:41:57A brotherhood.
00:41:58United.
00:42:00To never part despite danger or want.
00:42:02Sure.
00:42:03But I don't know if I can trust this kid to keep his mouth shut under torture.
00:42:06Worry about yourself.
00:42:07I can handle anything.
00:42:08Well, you should have seen your face about one minute ago.
00:42:10You weren't exactly calm either.
00:42:12Do you know that most of the prisoners of war here are French?
00:42:15What?
00:42:15Thousands of them in this military district alone.
00:42:19Saint-Bostol, Lübeck, Itzohu.
00:42:22You've lost me this time, Air Professor.
00:42:25Well, our first act as a now official resistance group is to translate the flyers into French and distribute them to the prisoners of war.
00:42:33Manch.
00:42:34But Helmut, none of us speak French.
00:42:37Werner Kronz does.
00:42:39Werner Kronz.
00:42:41A boy I work with.
00:42:42I'm going to show him the flyer as soon as I get the chance.
00:42:44Look, those men are losing faith, Carl.
00:42:48Thanks to Hitler's propaganda.
00:42:50And we can bring them the truth.
00:42:51Give them cause to hope again.
00:42:52I don't know.
00:42:55Do you really think we should involve someone else?
00:42:57Well, Werner doesn't like Hitler any more than we do.
00:42:59And you can really trust him.
00:43:01Have I been wrong yet?
00:43:02I just don't think it's a good idea.
00:43:03Well, let's put it to a vote then.
00:43:04Uh, I vote yes.
00:43:06Carl votes?
00:43:07No.
00:43:08Rooney, what do you think?
00:43:09I think it's a great idea, Halmet.
00:43:10Well, of course you do.
00:43:11That settles it then.
00:43:13Hopefully I'll have the first French flyer by the end of the week.
00:43:16I'll also have another flyer for you to distribute as well.
00:43:22This is just the beginning.
00:43:26It's getting late.
00:43:27I think I should go.
00:43:28Me too.
00:43:31I hate lying to my mother about what we're doing.
00:43:34That's the only part of this I don't like.
00:43:36Well, you have to.
00:43:38It's the only way to keep her safe.
00:43:40I know.
00:43:41I won't say anything.
00:43:43Besides, by lying to a few people, we can bring the truth to many more.
00:43:48Shoot, Halmet.
00:43:49See you Sunday.
00:43:51Oh, an helmet.
00:43:52I don't get caught.
00:43:58Um, Carl?
00:44:01Yes?
00:44:04You don't have to keep doing this, you know.
00:44:07I know.
00:44:08Be careful, Halmet.
00:44:10Don't worry.
00:44:11Everything will be fine.
00:44:13Of course it will.
00:44:14Thrice do'em, Carl.
00:44:52Where's Helmut?
00:44:59I haven't seen him.
00:45:00Do you think he slept in?
00:45:02Have you ever known Helmut to sleep in?
00:45:04You're right. He's probably just sick.
00:45:06Before our worship service begins, I have a special announcement to make.
00:45:11I regret to inform you that Helmut Huebner...
00:45:17Helmut Huebner was arrested by the Gestapo three days ago.
00:45:20Oh, what?
00:45:21That's impossible. What happened?
00:45:23I don't know any information other than that it was for political reasons.
00:45:27When we have more information, we'll update you.
00:45:31That is all.
00:45:37Carl, wait.
00:45:38Don't get away from me, Rudy. Do you want people to suspect us, too?
00:45:40But Carl, what do we do?
00:45:41What can we do?
00:45:42We could run away. We could go to Switzerland.
00:45:45No, we can't do that. What would they do to our families if we suddenly disappeared?
00:45:48So you think we just sit and wait?
00:45:49We don't draw attention to ourselves. We pretend we're just as surprised as everyone else.
00:45:53But Carl, we have to do something.
00:45:55We don't do anything.
00:45:56You and I never spent time together without Helmut, and people would be suspicious if we started now.
00:45:59If we have to, we'll talk at church again.
00:46:02But Carl...
00:46:03What?
00:46:04Will Helmut be able to withstand torture?
00:46:05I don't know. I don't know.
00:46:09I expect it won't be long until we find out.
00:46:12Carl, what are they going to do to him?
00:46:13Stop it. You're going to drive yourself crazy.
00:46:15Carl, what do I do if they question me?
00:46:17Tell them that you burned the leaflets.
00:46:18Tell them that you know you made an honest mistake.
00:46:20Tell them anything but the truth.
00:46:23Carl...
00:46:23No, no, no contact.
00:46:26I have to go.
00:46:27If Helmut...
00:46:29If Helmut...
00:46:30If all goes well, I'll see you next Sunday.
00:46:32But Carl, I...
00:46:32Next Sunday!
00:46:51Dear God in heaven,
00:46:53Please, help Helmut to withstand torture.
00:46:59Please, oh please, help him not to turn me in.
00:47:04Vita...
00:47:04Vita, please...
00:47:07Help me be safe.
00:47:09Please, help me be safe.
00:47:23The Reich is weakening and they know it.
00:47:34They are feeling the effects of your resistance in the disillusionment of the people.
00:47:39They are desperate to regain control of the German loyalty.
00:47:42Consequently, they will try harder than ever to suppress anything that looks like dissent or criticism.
00:47:47By instilling you with fear.
00:47:55Good morning, Shlav Mutsa.
00:47:57Good morning, Mutsa.
00:47:58How are you feeling this morning?
00:48:01A little better.
00:48:03You still look sick.
00:48:05I just didn't sleep well last night.
00:48:07I've hardly been sleeping or eating all week.
00:48:10Are you sure it's just an upset stomach?
00:48:12Yes.
00:48:13I'll be fine soon.
00:48:14Any news about Helmut?
00:48:19No.
00:48:24Maybe we'll find out something more at church tomorrow.
00:48:27Maybe.
00:48:36What is it?
00:48:39You know, if you are in trouble, you can always come to me and tell me anything.
00:48:45I think I just must still feel a little sick.
00:48:49I don't think I'll eat breakfast this morning after all.
00:48:53I'm sorry.
00:48:55I know you were worried.
00:48:59About Helmut.
00:49:02Yes.
00:49:03Are you sure you don't know what happened?
00:49:04Yes.
00:49:05But you said you and Helmut had been talking.
00:49:07Maybe he'd been talking to others as well.
00:49:09No.
00:49:09Just call and I...
00:49:10He wouldn't report him either.
00:49:11Maybe someone of work.
00:49:12I don't know, Mutsa.
00:49:14I told you I don't know.
00:49:18I wish I did.
00:49:24If you don't know anything about it,
00:49:26then I am sure that it is nothing.
00:49:31We might even see him at church tomorrow.
00:49:38Yes.
00:49:43Everything will be better tomorrow.
00:49:45Good people of Germany, we are fighting on your behalf.
00:49:59But you must resist.
00:50:01Resist the lies.
00:50:02You must not give in.
00:50:05Your fear and despair is the enemy's greatest weapon.
00:50:13Your fear and despair is the enemy's greatest weapon.
00:50:13And it's the enemy's greatest weapon.
00:50:13I'm the enemy's greatest weapon.

00:58:44Rudy.
00:58:51First time interrogation, Rudy?
00:58:55Yes.
00:58:56The first is always the hardest.
00:58:59It will get easier.
00:59:00I don't think I can stand anymore.
00:59:04You have been strong enough so far, Tracy.
00:59:08You don't understand.
00:59:12If they'd beat me for one more second,
00:59:14I would have confessed everything.
00:59:18I felt the same way my first time.
00:59:22But next time, I learned I could endure
00:59:26even more than I thought I could.
00:59:29Each struggle made me stronger.
00:59:32I don't want to learn anymore
00:59:37or grow any stronger.
00:59:42I just...
00:59:43Yes.
00:59:48I want to go home.
00:59:51Do you believe in God?
00:59:56With Him,
00:59:58you can be strong.
01:00:00He'll help you if you ask.
01:00:02I did ask.
01:00:06I asked.
01:00:08And I asked.
01:00:09And it hasn't done any good.
01:00:14Will you let me help you then?
01:00:17It doesn't matter anymore.
01:00:20It's the war over.
01:00:25The enemy defeated.
01:00:27No.
01:00:28That still matters.
01:00:33There's nothing I can do now.
01:00:36Even here,
01:00:37you can continue to fight
01:00:40by resisting their attempts
01:00:41to break your spirit.
01:00:45Listen to me.
01:00:47They will try everything
01:00:48to make you feel alone,
01:00:51hopeless,
01:00:52weak,
01:00:53worthless.
01:00:54If you're going to survive,
01:00:56you'll have to resist their influence.
01:01:01Rudolf Volbeck,
01:01:02come with us.
01:01:03Where are you taking me?
01:01:05You're wanted for further questioning.
01:01:06No.
01:01:07Apparently,
01:01:08they aren't satisfied with the lies
01:01:09you told the first time,
01:01:10you swine.
01:01:11No, please.
01:01:11Remember,
01:01:12you have to resist.
01:01:13Shut up, you.
01:01:17Resist.
01:01:2717th of May, 1942.
01:01:31Subject,
01:01:33juvenile criminal case 87.
01:01:36I hereby request
01:01:37an acceleration
01:01:38of the above-mentioned case
01:01:39because my son,
01:01:41who is now 16 years old,
01:01:44is experiencing
01:01:45great emotional suffering
01:01:46in prison.
01:01:48I am a war widow
01:01:50employed as a custodian.
01:01:52It is very hard for me
01:01:54to be required
01:01:54to watch my only child
01:01:55go to pieces emotionally
01:01:57from the result of confinement.
01:02:00I have great love
01:02:01and concern for Rudy,
01:02:03despite his actions,
01:02:05and now my nerves
01:02:06are all frayed
01:02:06because of his grief.
01:02:09It is, therefore,
01:02:10my fondest wish
01:02:12that the main trial
01:02:13will be soon begun
01:02:14in order that I may be freed
01:02:16from this terrible uncertainty
01:02:17of what will become
01:02:18of my boy.
01:02:20Thank you
01:02:21for your consideration,
01:02:23Heil Hitler.
01:02:30It's been a pleasure.
01:02:32As always.
01:02:32Where's Hans?
01:02:37None of your business.
01:02:40Your indictment papers?
01:02:42We don't have to put up
01:02:43with your smell
01:02:44around here much longer.
01:02:45Lulophobe.
01:02:51Charged with preparation
01:02:53to high treason
01:02:53and aiding and abetting
01:02:55the enemy.
01:02:56Trial date
01:02:5711th of August
01:02:581942
01:02:59at
01:03:00People's Court of Germany.
01:03:04The Blood Tribunal.
01:03:05There must be a mistake.
01:03:07We're not dangerous criminals.
01:03:09We're supposed to be
01:03:10tried as juveniles.
01:03:11Not dangerous criminals?
01:03:13The Blood Tribunal?
01:03:15You'll be punished
01:03:15for your crimes
01:03:16against Germany,
01:03:17you traitor.
01:03:17I didn't commit any crime.
01:03:19I just listened to...
01:03:20What?
01:03:23What did you do
01:03:24that was so innocent
01:03:25that it landed you
01:03:26a date with
01:03:26the People's Court?
01:03:27Huh?
01:03:28Come on!
01:03:28Tell us what you did!
01:03:30Huh?
01:03:31I don't have to confess
01:03:33to you.
01:03:34Come on.
01:03:35Let's go.
01:03:37Doesn't matter.
01:03:38I don't have to.
01:03:38I don't have to.
01:03:38I don't have to.
01:03:38I don't have to.
01:03:38I don't have to.
01:03:38I don't have to.
01:03:39I don't have to.
01:03:40I don't have to.
01:03:41I don't have to.
01:03:41I don't have to.
01:03:41I don't have to.
01:03:41You're being tried
01:03:45by the Blood Tribunal.
01:03:49You don't stand a chance.
01:03:51Let's go.
01:03:56Wait.
01:03:59What day is it today?
01:04:01The 28th of May.
01:04:02Two months.
01:04:12Two months.
01:04:12Just two more months.
01:04:18I've taken off your handcuffs.
01:04:29I've taken off your handcuffs, so don't try anything foolish.
01:04:31I'm afraid we're not going to cut very dashing pictures of romantic resistance fighters.
01:04:50It's so good to see you again, Hamlet.
01:04:53What a happy reunion this is.
01:04:55And what fine accommodations, too.
01:04:57An all-expense-paid trip to Berlin, courtesy of the Reich.
01:05:01It's good to see you, too, Carl.
01:05:03Hello, kid.
01:05:03Air professor.
01:05:04Carl.
01:05:05Well, might as well get comfortable.
01:05:19How long do you think it will take?
01:05:20The train?
01:05:21No, the trial.
01:05:22I don't know.
01:05:23You nervous?
01:05:24A little.
01:05:25But I'd rather be in the hands of an impartial judge than back with the Gestapo.
01:05:26Rudy, it's the People's Court.
01:05:28It was created by the Nazis, with judges handpicked by Hitler himself.
01:05:33How impartial do you think they can be?
01:05:35Someone will speak for us.
01:05:36Probably not.
01:05:37I doubt the defense will produce any witness at all.
01:05:39What about our friends and family?
01:05:40I don't know.
01:05:41I don't know.
01:05:42I don't know.
01:05:43You nervous?
01:05:44A little.
01:05:45But I'd rather be in the hands of an impartial judge than back with the Gestapo.
01:05:46Rudy, it's the People's Court.
01:05:47It was created by the Nazis with judges handpicked by Hitler himself.
01:05:48How impartial do you think they can be?
01:05:49Someone will speak for us.
01:05:50Probably not.
01:05:51I doubt the defense will produce any witness at all.
01:05:56What about our friends and family?
01:05:57Well, if they spoke for us, they'd be labeled traitors as well.
01:06:04I guess I hadn't really thought about it.
01:06:06Don't you remember how everyone deserted Heinrich?
01:06:09We have no one left at all.
01:06:11Well, we have each other.
01:06:13For the time being, at least.
01:06:15Maybe there's no one willing to speak for us now.
01:06:18But once Hitler is defeated, everyone will be grateful for what we've done.
01:06:22Will we hear us...
01:06:24Shut up!
01:06:25We're not heroes, Rudy.
01:06:28You're so naive.
01:06:29We've wasted our time.
01:06:30We've put our families in danger.
01:06:32We've endured torture.
01:06:34And Hitler continues to spread his lies.
01:06:36We've made no difference at all.
01:06:38Carl, what's gotten into you?
01:06:40What's gotten into me?
01:06:41Six months!
01:06:43Six months of torture and brutality.
01:06:48Moldy bread and soup that tastes like dirt.
01:06:51Not being able to sleep at night because I can't drown out the sound of constant screaming and crying.
01:06:57Not 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.
01:07:07Six months of hell where the weak ones don't survive.
01:07:12We know what it's like in prison, Carl.
01:07:15I'm sorry, I...
01:07:18It's just I'm not going to be the one who's lost his mind blubbering in the corner.
01:07:22We all decided together to do what we could to pass on the truth.
01:07:27Well, I didn't plan on getting caught!
01:07:29And it's me you should be getting mad at, not Rudy!
01:07:42What happened, Homer?
01:07:46I spoke with Vernicrons about translating the flyers.
01:07:51When I showed him one, he was horrified.
01:07:56He shoved it back in my face.
01:07:58I didn't know the office overseer was watching.
01:08:04He questioned Vernor, called the Gestapo.
01:08:09Ten minutes later, I was picked up.
01:08:12When the Gestapo took me to my house, they found the typewriter with a half-finished leaflet in it.
01:08:20It wasn't going to be my best one yet.
01:08:26I knew then I didn't have much of a chance, but...
01:08:29I thought I could still keep our promise.
01:08:35What did they do to you?
01:08:36They beat him to a pulpit. What do you think they did?
01:08:41Did they?
01:08:44I'm sorry I told them your names.
01:08:46I couldn't help it.
01:08:52We don't blame you, Homer.
01:08:57Do we, Carl?
01:08:59We were all idiots to think we could get away with it, that's all.
01:09:05Carl.
01:09:07Did you confess?
01:09:08I told them I'd burn the flyers if that's what you mean.
01:09:14Good.
01:09:16That's what I told them you did, too.
01:09:21Thank you, Rudy.
01:09:23Rudy.
01:09:28This will all be over soon.
01:09:30Keep telling yourself that.
01:09:53Helmet.
01:09:54Yeah, sure it is.
01:09:56We did make a difference.
01:09:58Didn't we?
01:09:59I...
01:10:00I...
01:10:01I...
01:10:02I...
01:10:03I...
01:10:04I...
01:10:05I...
01:10:06I...
01:10:07I...
01:10:08I...
01:10:09I...
01:10:10I...
01:10:11I don't know.
01:10:26Does it really matter so much?
01:10:28Does it really matter so much?
01:10:32I mean, if you had the chance to do it again,
01:10:36to fight against evil,
01:10:40knowing perfectly well you wouldn't really change things,
01:10:44would you do it?
01:10:58Beep! Beep!
01:11:28Beep!
01:11:30Wait!
01:11:32Wait for it to you!
01:11:34Beep!
01:11:38Let's just go!
01:11:42Wait for it to you!
01:11:46Go!
01:11:52No!
01:11:54Donut Gunther Hubener,
01:11:56Huberner, born on the 8th of January 1925. Rudolf Gustav Wobbe, born on the 11th of
01:12:04February 1926. And Karl Hein Schneeber, born on the 5th of January 1924. You are
01:12:11hereby charged with preparation to high treason and aiding and abetting the
01:12:15enemy in times of war. Schneeber, it says here that you admitted to reading the
01:12:20inflammatory flyers given to you by Huberner first in 1941, and that you
01:12:25were aware the contents had been gathered from intercepted enemy broadcast.
01:12:28You asked Huberner for more flyers in 1942. You admit to discussing some of the
01:12:34contents with the co-accused Wobbe, but claim to have burned them without passing
01:12:38them to other persons. What were your motives in requesting these flyers from
01:12:42Huberner, if not to pass them to others? I was just curious. Curious? Enough to ask
01:12:48them repeatedly. It's possible that I asked him for each one he wrote? Possible? I don't
01:12:54remember exactly. Wobbe, you admitted to distributing the inflammatory flyers given to
01:13:00you by Huberner in that same year, and that you were aware the contents had been
01:13:03gathered from intercepted enemy broadcasts. You tossed them in hallways, mailboxes, and
01:13:08attached some to Nazi party bulletin boards. What were your motives in helping so
01:13:12blatantly to defame the Reich? I... I don't know. I mean... I have no reason. Were you dissatisfied with the way the country was being run?
01:13:24Or angry with the government in some way? No. Nothing like that. So you simply
01:13:29committed these crimes for no reason! I... I later realized I'd made a mistake.
01:13:37Huberner, you admitted to listening daily to the enemy broadcasts and then typing their
01:13:42propaganda into flyers, which you sought to distribute to the people of Homburg, thereby
01:13:47demoralizing the citizens of Germany and bringing them into danger. What possible
01:13:51reason did you have for distributing these newscasts? Before I state my reasons, I must
01:13:57say again that I alone am responsible for this. But why did you do it, boy? Or do you
01:14:03not know either? Quite the opposite, actually. I knew exactly why I did it. I wanted to
01:14:10share with others what I had heard. My goal was to point out the differences in the
01:14:14newscasts so they, too, would learn the truth. Do you really believe those horrific stories
01:14:20are the truth? Without a doubt. You ignorant children. What do you have against the Fuhrer?
01:14:27Hitler? A man who has given us jobs, who has put food back onto our tables and purpose
01:14:33into our lives. A man who has rebuilt our country and given us back a sense of national pride.
01:14:40A man who is leading us into glorious battle so that the world will acknowledge again Germany's
01:14:46power. Hitler is a liar, a murderer, and a tyrant who has taken away our freedom and is destroying
01:14:52this country. Enough! Although you are charged as juveniles, the circumstances of the war make
01:15:01it impossible for the law to waver from imposing the harshest possible punishment. Therefore,
01:15:07the People's Court of Germany hereby sentence the following.
01:15:13Karl Heinz Niebe, for listening to a foreign radio station and distributing foreign radio news to five
01:15:19years imprisonment. Rudolf Gustav Vobe, for listening to a foreign radio station and distributing foreign
01:15:25radio news in connection with conspiracy to commit high treason to ten years imprisonment.
01:15:30and treasonable support of the enemy of which we have written proof, you are hereby sentenced to death.
01:15:48Do you have anything further to say?
01:15:51Schlieber?
01:15:52Schlieber?
01:15:53No.
01:15:54Wawbe?
01:15:55No.
01:15:56Huberner?
01:15:58Yes. I must die even though I have not committed any crime.
01:16:03Your turn is next.
01:16:05A vermin like you must be exterminated.
01:16:10The protection of all good German citizens demands it.
01:16:13Take them away!
01:16:14The protection of all good German citizens demands it.
01:16:19I don't believe they'll do it Helmuth, they'll reduce the sentence, you're too young.
01:16:45He's right now. Look at the wall. Franz Huber, sentenced to death. Goodbye, mother.
01:16:59Sophie, take care of the children. Farewell, beloved.
01:17:08I do not want to die. Dietrich Schultz, sentenced to death.
01:17:18You still don't think they mean it?
01:17:20No, but it can't be.
01:17:24You knew they were going to do it, didn't you? You had to have someone to play.
01:17:29It didn't have to be you. You deliberately drew all the attention to yourself. Why?
01:17:34I was the one called first. Tricked by the beautiful spy.
01:17:41They can't do this to you. It isn't fair.
01:17:45Don't worry about me. I know God less. He will be my judge.
01:17:59This can't be the last time we'll see you.
01:18:02We'll be together again. When this life is over.
01:18:15How about a song? Of the fatherland. One last time.
01:18:21Moonlight and roses bring wonderful memories of you.
01:18:33My heart reposes in beautiful thoughts so true.
01:18:43June light discloses. Love's golden dreams sparkling anew.
01:18:55Vaubay. Schneeba. You two were in the wrong cell.
01:18:59Huebner goes to Plotzensee to await execution. You go back to Hamburg.
01:19:08Graf. Auf Wiedersehen, my friend.
01:19:12I hope he deserves it.
01:19:20Never vote Rudy.
01:19:23No. No.
01:19:24Remember me.
01:19:25No. I'm gonna drop me.
01:19:27No. No.
01:19:28Love me with you both.
01:19:36No.
01:19:39No.
01:19:40No.
01:19:41No.
01:19:42No.
01:19:43No.
01:19:44No.
01:19:45No.
01:19:46No.
01:19:47No.
01:19:48No.
01:19:49No.
01:19:50No.
01:19:51No.

01:20:06No.
01:20:07No.
01:20:0820th of August, 1942, Alt-Mu'abit Prison.
01:20:36Dearest Mutti, I am all alone now.
01:20:42The trial is over, and I have said goodbye to my friend Helmut, forever.
01:20:48I was so naive, thinking we could make a difference.
01:20:53I thought we could change the world, but now I see that I am nothing.
01:20:58I have accomplished nothing, and life means nothing to me anymore.
01:21:05I hope my life will not last long.
01:21:12Oh Mutti, I am sorry for everything.
01:21:17I don't know what to do.
01:21:20I can't face ten years in this place all alone, Mutti.
01:21:27I just want to die.
01:21:33Mein Liebster Rudiken.
01:21:35Resist the temptation to give in to despair.
01:21:39You must survive and continue the fight.
01:21:42I can't.
01:21:44There is no one to help me.
01:21:48I am all alone here.
01:21:55I am so alone.
01:21:57No, Rudy.
01:21:58No.
01:21:59No.
01:22:00You are never alone.
01:22:09Even when there is no one else, God is with you always.
01:22:15turn to him, and he will help you resist the despair and the evil influences that surround
01:22:24you.
01:22:25Without him, we are, all of us, weak.
01:22:30Weak.
01:22:31But with him, we can be made strong.
01:22:37All is living.
01:22:39Mutti.
01:22:40To God in heaven, help me.
01:23:08Help me.
01:23:12Please.
01:23:13Help me to not feel so alone.
01:23:18I can't do it without you.
01:23:23Mutti.
01:23:26Please.
01:23:29Please.
01:23:33God, please.
01:23:41Please.
01:23:42Please.
01:23:47Please.
01:23:56Please.
01:23:58What?
01:24:15Guard!
01:24:17Guard!
01:24:20What is it?
01:24:22Where's that singing coming from?
01:24:24There's a chapel below us. It's the Sunday service.
01:24:28What is it?
01:24:31No!
01:24:38No!
01:24:44No!
01:24:46No!
01:24:49No!
01:24:51No!
01:24:54No!
01:24:55I thought, I thought, I had every plan
01:25:03Through my healing, through my life, all day
01:25:25Fill my soul, my God, on a thunder day
01:25:33To guide the future as we...
