Wir waren kameraden Das ende-2017 Subtitles

00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:27,We were Comrades - The End -

00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:59,Two friends, in a difficult time.

00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:31,In the summer of We were on the retreat for nearly a year.

00:01:33,320 --> 00:01:38,Well, our military leaders called it
„straightening the front“ - A euphemism.

00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,They could call it what they wanted -

00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,We simple soldiers just hoped

00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,the Russians would never reach
German home ground.

00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,Our casualties grew heavily
during this year of the war.

00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,Death and destruction wherever I looked.

00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,So many of my comrades
had already fallen.

00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,I ** glad to the day it wasn't me

00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:06,who had to write the death notes
to the families back home.

00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:12,My valued captain found better
words for that. My god,

00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:18,„fallen for the Führer, the people and
the father land“ was a line always used.

00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,Today I ** still not sure what gave me

00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:27,strength and the will to survive
those dreary circumstances.

00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:31,Maybe it was my family back home,
which I wanted to take into my arms again.

00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:37,Or maybe it was
pure instinct to survive.

00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,I can't explain it today.

00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:48,Everything I experienced in those days
changed who I ** today.

00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:54,At the time I was driven by the hope that,
should I survive the war and return home,

00:02:54,440 --> 00:03:00,my family and friends would still recognize
their dear Hellmut.

00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:06,On my way back to the front
after my first home leave

00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:12,I just hoped my dear friend Heinrich
was still alive and well.

00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:18,I have been with him through thick
and thin since basic training.

00:03:19,640 --> 00:03:21,Dismount!

00:03:21,920 --> 00:03:23,Come on, dismount guys.

00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,Günsche, back again?

00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,Captain, Sir, yes, surely.

00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,-Böttger!
-Captain, Sir.

00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,-Boy, back from home leave?
-Yes, it's about time.

00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,-And how's it been?
-Too short!

00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,-As always,right? I hope you're well rested.
-Well, it's been alright.

00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,The troops need support, though.

00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,We need to go inside for a bit.
I have to tell you something.

00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:48,-Yes, Sir.
-Follow me.

00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,Good afternoon, gentlemen.
Come in, put your rifle aside.

00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:57,-Sergeant.
-Captain, Sir?

00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,-Have you g***t the shoulder boards?
-Of course, Captain, Sir.

00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,Well, Böttger. After your well deserved
home leave, I now have the honor

00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:09,to congratulate one of the longest serving
privates to his promotion to

00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,Non-commissioned officer.

00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:22,The Führer himself
in all his kindness and greatness

00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:29,sent you a pair of shoulder borads.
I hope you take pride in this.

00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,And when there's a bang,
better keep your head down, will you?

00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:35,Better so!

00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:36,And remain with the troop!

00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:37,Yes, Sir.

00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:42,Congratulations.
Get the cords attached by our shoemaker.

00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,And since you are my best leader of
the reconnaissance patrol,

00:04:49,280 --> 00:04:51,I'll briefly explain our current situation.

00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:53,We've g***t ourselves
a Russian prisoner here

00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,and he told us the exact date
of their next attack.

00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,It is as follows – have a look as well.

00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,Due to the statement of this prisoner, brought
by military police..

00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,we know the date of the next attack.

00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:11,If the Russians attack on summit 371,

00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:12,they'll break through.

00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,There's no way for us to get
armor piercing weapons up there.

00:05:15,840 --> 00:05:19,We can only disrupt their attack with a counterattack.

00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,And you'll take part in that. Good.

00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:23,-Captain?
-Yes?

00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,-What's with the Bolshevik b***d here?
-Yes?

00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,-Shoot him? Or what?
-Nonsense.

00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,-What do you mean: „Nonsense“?
-Mr. Leiner, we wage this war

00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:35,following the Geneva Conventions a
as well as the Hague Conventions.

00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:43,Prisoners are neither mistreated
nor shot in my combat sector.

00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,I think I've used enough of your time.

00:05:47,280 --> 00:05:49,I'm sure you've g***t more important
issues to attend to.

00:05:49,840 --> 00:05:51,-Well, we'll leave.
-Thank you.

00:05:51,840 --> 00:05:54,We'll leave but I'm sure we'll meet again.
With that in mind....

00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:58,Yes, with that in mind.
Thank you, gentlemen.

00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,I thank you.
I'm sure we'll meet a second time.

00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,Böttger, take your rifle

00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,leave your equipment
outside.

00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,You take care of the prisoner

00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,and finish this off in our sense.

00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,-Understood?
-Yes, Sir.

00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:23,Alright, Günsche, come here now.

00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,Get up!

00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:37,Forward, man.

00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:45,Now stop!

00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,Don't shoot. Please.. don't shoot.

00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,It's alright man. Be quiet. Here.

00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,Now get lost! Go! Dawai, dawai...

00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:17,Move!

00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,Comrade! Next time the boots you hand in
are cleaned!

00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,Come on, I've just arrived from relocation
of the front. I didn't have the time.

00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:29,-Did you gum up the seam alright?
-Of course.

00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:31,-Hellmut!
-Heinrich!

00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,You old scumbag,
what are you doing here?

00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,I've just arrived from front relocation.

00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,And a fine time you picked for that.
Now, put your boot on.

00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,Hold that for a minute.

00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,And? Happy?

00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:47,It fits, yes!

00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,Come on, let's go find a quiet corner.

00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:50,Next time they're clean!

00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,Alright!

00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,-Let's grab a b***e first.
-It's about time.

00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,Chef, still g***t a cup full
for the both of us?

00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,Yes. Soup's ready.

00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,-A dream!
-Just a moment, I'll wash those first.

00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,Leave it, just fill them with the stuff.

00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,We didn't get one b***e during
relocation.

00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,We've been on the road for almost
two days now, and not one potato.

00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,-Well, that looks much better now.
-What's cooking anyway?

00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,-Potatoes, onions...
-Just give me a fill.

00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:21,What did you eat out there, by the way?

00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,-Well, nothing!
-Now you've g***t German potato soup.

00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,Don't be like that. You'd get your hands on
something edible anywhere.

00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,-Oh, officer, Sir!
Yes. To you I ** officer Böttger
from now on.

00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:31,Don't be a show-off, boy.

00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,Dig in, comrades!

00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,Something to chew!
Thanks.

00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,It's been a long time.

00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:44,-So, tell me, how's home leave been?
-Don't ask... No sign of recovery.

00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,Let's sit.

00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,Tell me, what's new at home?

00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,Air raid alerts every other night.

00:09:00,680 --> 00:09:03,my dad's been recruited
for air raid defenses... temporarily

00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,-So, it's that bad now...
-Yes, I've hardly seen him.

00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:10,And the neighbors, they're all talking
about other cities' bombardments.

00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,But wait till you hear this: The word is,

00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,the Führer will use
some wonder-weapon, soon.

00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:22,-What kind of wonder- weapons?
-They don't know yet. It's classified,

00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,But they say it won't be long.

00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,Do you think this will make a difference?

00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:28,Do you think this will make a...
