00:01:14At Commandatura headquarters in Berlin, the Cold War reaches a new crisis.

00:01:19The Russians haul down the red flag, signifying Soviet withdrawal from the four-power command that has governed Berlin since the war's end.

00:01:26Taking no pains to disguise the fact that they want the Western Allies out of Berlin, the Reds begin a blockade of the city.

00:01:34Tracks are removed from the roadbeds and trains are stopped for so-called technical reasons.

00:01:40Barges carrying food and coal find the waterways suddenly closed to them.

00:01:44Highways are blocked and deserted.

00:01:46The aim of the Russians to starve the entire city into submission backfires completely.

00:01:50In the shadow of the Soviet sector, 300,000 Berliners gather in protest and pledge support to the Western Allies.

00:01:57Meanwhile, Anthony Eaton arrives in the German capital for an emergency meeting, as does the French military commander, General Koenig.

00:02:05Later, America's General Lucius D. Clay, speaking for the Western Allies, announces their decision.

00:02:10We have a right to be in Berlin, and we intend to maintain that right.

00:02:15But how, ask freedom-loving people the world over and anxiously await the answer.

00:02:19Can this be true, or is it just an alluring hot-weather mirage to lead us on?

00:02:28To answer this question, I'm told this is Atlantic City's competition.

00:02:33Your attention, please.

00:02:39All personnel of the 19th Troop Carrier Squadron report to 19th Operations immediately.

00:02:46Now what?

00:02:47Somebody forgot to clean the carburetor. We all got to stand in the corner.

00:02:51Sounds like a hop to Australia to me.

00:02:53Don't say that. I got a date in an hour.

00:02:55What's the name? I'll keep it for you. I'm good at that sort of thing.

00:02:58Who isn't?

00:02:59Who is?

00:03:00Who will gather in September to rise on a mission of...

00:03:04In which capacity? The winner.

00:03:07And as soon as ready, proceed to Fairfield, Sassoon, California.

00:03:11At ease.

00:03:13Then to Westover Field, Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts.

00:03:16This mission will be for the purpose of operational training and will be for a period of 45 days.

00:03:29Pardon me, Major. My name is Kowalski. I'm a GCA operator.

00:03:33Yes?

00:03:34I was wondering, sir, if I could be replaced on this mission.

00:03:37Why?

00:03:38Well, sir, if we're going where I think we're going, I wouldn't do a very good job.

00:03:42What have you got against Westover Field?

00:03:44Nothing, sir, but I got an awful lot against Germany and I got a hunch that's where we're heading for.

00:03:48The Air Force doesn't run on hunches, Sergeant. That's why we put lights on runways.

00:03:51Have a good trip.

00:05:05Max! Max! Max!

00:05:11Hello?

00:05:12Go back and wake him up. He'll be in in about 10 minutes.

00:05:21All right, man, wake up.

00:05:24I'm up. My friend's in 10 minutes.

00:05:29All right, wake up. All right, you guys.

00:05:32All right, you guys.

00:05:33Orion Main Tower, this is Air Force 7223.

00:05:40Request landing instructions, over.

00:05:42Orion Main Tower to 7223, who are you and where are you from? Over.

00:05:46This is Air Force 7223, 19th Troop Carrier Squadron, Hickam Field, Honolulu.

00:05:52Orion Main Tower to 7223, stand by for further instructions, over.

00:05:55Roger, 7223, standing by.

00:06:01Orion Main Tower to 6421, where are you from, over.

00:06:04Orion Main Tower to 6421, we're from 54th Troop Carrier Squadron from Alaska, over.

00:06:10Orion Main Tower, this is Air Force 9922, over.

00:06:17Where are we from?

00:06:18We're in the 20th, from Ramey, Puerto Rico, over.

00:06:26Boy, this place sure caught it, didn't it?

00:06:29It's not enough.

00:06:30The weather should have used the A-bomb.

00:06:43Orion Main Tower to 7223, make a right, turn it into runway.

00:06:47You'll find some of your squadron in parking area. Park there.

00:07:00What's the matter, you fellas cold?

00:07:02Ah, shut up.

00:07:03I told you to take warm clothes.

00:07:05You ain't going to Germany, it just don't make good sense.

00:07:08Well, let me tell you, you all is here.

00:07:10And before you all through, you all's gonna wish you never left the old plantation.

00:07:19I heard you guys.

00:07:20Sure did.

00:07:21Let's get out of here.

00:07:22Hey fellas.

00:07:23Hi, we're in the 20th, from Ramey, Puerto Rico, over.

00:07:27Hey fellas.

00:07:28Hi, we're in the building.

00:07:29Someone will come on there and show you where your bullets are.

00:07:31Hey, how about pulling up to the dry spot?

00:07:32Man, this is a dry spot.

00:07:33You see the rest of the base.

00:07:34It's up to your elbow here.

00:07:36So wait after you be here a while, you'll come right to the same spot here.

00:07:39On your day off and walk around because it's so dry.

00:07:47Pull it up there and sink it.

00:07:49Quit kicking that mud on me, will you?

00:07:50Come on, quit your play.

00:07:53Hey, this has got more class than the Savoy.

00:08:08Hold it down a minute, fellas.

00:08:10Come on, hold it down.

00:08:12Answer to your name.

00:08:14Blankenship.

00:08:21Kowalski.

00:08:22You men line up over here.

00:08:23It's not my fault.

00:08:24I didn't make these orders.

00:08:25I just work here.

00:08:26This next group over to my right.

00:08:27Barr.

00:08:28Dornbusch.

00:08:29Perry.

00:08:30Norris.

00:08:31Reynolds.

00:08:32Simmons.

00:08:33The maintenance you brought has been unloaded.

00:08:34You men set up your supply depot.

00:08:35I'll show you where.

00:08:36You engineers report to your planes immediately.

00:08:37All right, we got it.

00:08:38We got it.

00:08:56I'm Kowalski, GCA.

00:08:57Yeah, you're down for Berlin.

00:08:58Berlin?

00:08:59Tempo up, catch a ride on any plane.

00:09:00Well, Berlin, here I come, Big Five.

00:09:01Now, I've got to get all right to your plane.

00:09:02If the cesspool ain't batting, I'm going to fall right in the middle of it.

00:09:03Berlin.

00:09:04Mm.

00:09:05Take five.

00:09:06Take five.

00:09:07Thank you.

00:09:09Successful ain't bad enough.

00:09:11I got to fall right in the middle of it.

00:09:13Where do you mean?

00:09:23Hey, what are you, a wild guy?

00:09:25Can't you take a joke?

00:09:37You mean here at Fulton?

00:09:43Yeah, that's where we pick up the heading of 55 degrees.

00:09:46You're glad they sent you along, Lieutenant.

00:09:48I'd be a-bleeding by now.

00:09:50I guess it's just a milk problem they had used to it, huh, Lieutenant?

00:09:52Oh, sure.

00:09:54All you have to do is to stay in this 20-mile corridor,

00:09:56hold exactly 170 miles an hour,

00:09:59maintain exactly 6,000 feet,

00:10:01fly instruments continuously,

00:10:03keeping a three-minute interval,

00:10:05making radio checks on the second,

00:10:07maintain...

00:10:09Go ahead, Teflon.

00:10:11This is 7-2-2-3.

00:10:13Roger.

00:10:18Teflon, off.

00:10:25Freiberger,

00:10:27before landing checklist.

00:10:29Heater switch is off.

00:10:31Off.

00:10:32Switch to takeoff and climb.

00:10:34Takeoff and climb. Main tanks on.

00:10:36On.

00:10:37Bypass valve down.

00:10:38Down.

00:10:57Booster pumps on high.

00:10:59High.

00:11:02Certainly put this field in a nice place, didn't they?

00:11:1120-degree flap.

00:11:1420.

00:11:18Full flap.

00:11:20Full flap.

00:11:30Power back.

00:11:33Power off.

00:11:42Just like landing in the Rose Bowl.

00:11:47After landing checklist.

00:11:50Flaps high.

00:12:01An hour and 46.

00:12:03Lock them up, Sergeant.

00:12:21Good to see you, boys.

00:12:23Not sure they were going to make the engineer unload all this stuff.

00:12:26With a man only 200 feet and a quarter of a mile,

00:12:29I guess you could use GCA over those apartment houses.

00:12:32I'd like to use it like money from home.

00:12:34I've got a job to do.

00:12:36I've got to get out of here.

00:12:38I've got to get out of here.

00:12:40I've got to get out of here.

00:12:42I've got to get out of here.

00:12:44I've got to get out of here.

00:12:46I've got to get out of here.

00:12:48I'd like to use it like money from home.

00:12:51German?

00:12:52Mostly. Some DPs.

00:12:58What do you think you're shoving?

00:13:00Bitter, bitter.

00:13:01Don't give me bitter, bitter. Stay away from me.

00:13:03Come on. Come on.

00:13:05What do you want to do? Start another war?

00:13:13Hey, I think I'll check in.

00:13:15Okay, I'll look you up next trip.

00:13:17If you can't sleep, just leave your card.

00:13:19So long.

00:13:20Thanks for the lift, Lieutenant.

00:13:22Which way is operations?

00:13:23It's over there.

00:13:24So long.

00:13:25So long, Lieutenant.

00:13:26Take it easy, Kowalski.

00:13:31Pardon me, sir.

00:13:32Yes, Sergeant.

00:13:33Is it all right if I leave the field for a while?

00:13:35I'd like to take a look and see where Berlin looks like.

00:13:37Not allowed, Sergeant.

00:13:38You mean we have to stand around all the time we're here?

00:13:40You know how long we'll be here?

00:13:4220 minutes.

00:13:4320 minutes?

00:13:44And you've got to stay right for the plane.

00:13:47Okay.

00:13:57Four hours ago, it was so nice and clean.

00:14:00Well, if this thing keeps going, where do you see it four months from now?

00:14:04Oh, brother.

00:17:24Hey, look they got the anti-ground out.

00:17:26Wonder what's up.

00:17:28Probably some VIP's in the Pentagon.

00:17:31Today many people are gathered here to celebrate a milestone

00:17:33in the history of this truly amazing air operation.

00:17:36Only a moment ago, when plane number 37 touched down on the north runway, it brought the total

00:17:42of airlift flights to the city to 100,000.

00:17:46To express their profound gratitude, representatives of the people of Berlin are present to present

00:17:52gifts to the crew of number 37.

00:17:54The Honor Guard of the Office of Military Government is also present, and in a moment,

00:17:59Now the lieutenant appears to be ready to give his first command.

00:18:02Hey, look at those guys, they're sharp.

00:18:29I wonder what this is all about, anyway.

00:18:46Hey, I want to get a picture of this.

00:18:51Is there any plan, sir?

00:18:52Why, what's up?

00:18:53Turn around, don't stop at this plane.

00:19:01How do you like that?

00:19:02Can't even have any coffee.

00:19:03Hey, what gives?

00:19:23Hey, Kowalski, what's going on here?

00:19:46I don't know, I just come out of the shack.

00:19:48Must be awful important.

00:19:54Now the Honor Guard is approaching plane number 37 to escort the crew to the microphones

00:19:59here beside me, where the brief ceremony will be held.

00:20:02I wonder where they're going now.

00:20:03They're going to spell out Navy.

00:20:04Must be some brass someplace.

00:20:07Nobody this way.

00:20:10Nope.

00:20:11Nobody this way either.

00:20:17Fellas, I got a feeling this is us.

00:20:22Oh, it can't be, it must be a mistake.

00:20:24You boys are elected for something.

00:20:42Don't bother, you look simply lovely.

00:20:47Fix your hat.

00:20:53I feel just as if you and I were getting married, Lieutenant.

00:21:00And always you are flying to us in every kind of weather, in rain, in sunshine, and in fog.

00:21:09And so I'm giving to you, Captain, this case, a thanks to you from men of Berlin's best sector.

00:21:24I accept this, not for myself, but for all those connected with Operation Fiddle.

00:21:32Not just the Americans, the French, and the British too.

00:21:36Thanks.

00:21:41And now, Helmut Braucher, 10 years old, representing the children of Berlin,

00:21:46will make his presentation to co-pilot Lieutenant Alfred Freiberger of St. Petersburg, Florida.

00:21:55Now Helmut, there's not one little old thing to be afraid of.

00:22:00Go on, say your speech, just like I told you.

00:22:02Go on now, go on.

00:22:08The boys and girls of Berlin present this to you and want to thank you all very, very much

00:22:18for everything you all have done.

00:22:23Well, Captain Stewart said what I was going to say, so I'll just say Dr. Shane.

00:22:28Good boy, good boy, have a chocolate bar.

00:22:31Now to the flight engineer, Technical Sergeant Daniel McCullough from St. Paul, Minnesota.

00:22:37The presentation will be made by Frau Frederica Burghardt.

00:22:55Sergeant McCullough, I offer you this simple gift from all the women of Berlin,

00:22:59from the wives and mothers, and from those who are alone.

00:23:04We have watched your planes bring to this unfortunate city not only food and coal,

00:23:09but serums and medicines without which hundreds would have perished.

00:23:14We have watched your planes take out sick and undernourished children

00:23:18and return them healthy and well-fed and happy.

00:23:21Now this accent may appear to you to be empty,

00:23:25but believe me, it's filled with a gratitude and admiration of hundreds of thousands of women.

00:23:31Please take it.

00:23:33Oh, yes.

00:23:37Give him a kiss, will you?

00:23:39Ja, machen mit der Kusen.

00:23:43Nein, nein, machen mit der große, grateful Kusen.

00:23:48All right, I will.

00:23:50Hang on, Sarge, you'll get a draw.

00:23:53Well, that was fun. Now, will you all move over there?

00:23:55We want to get your sticks together, huh?

00:23:57Get right over there with her.

00:24:00Now, budge up a little bit, will you?

00:24:04Hey, Sarge, put that thing down, will you?

00:24:06Take her by the arm. Go ahead.

00:24:08Make with the feet.

00:24:13Frau Burghardt?

00:24:15Ja.

00:24:17Herr Burghardt.

00:24:19My husband was good and luscious.

00:24:21I'm sorry.

00:24:22That seems so long ago.

00:24:25I wish we had time to have a little talk.

00:24:27Perhaps we'll meet again sometime.

00:24:29Uh-uh.

00:24:30They won't let us into Berlin.

00:24:32What, not even for a little while?

00:24:34Well, maybe if I'm very lucky, my plane catches on fire.

00:24:37Ja, they might give me a couple hours.

00:24:39I'm lucky like that.

00:24:41Is that good to see you?

00:24:43I'd be very happy.

00:24:45Phone?

00:24:47I haven't got a phone,

00:24:49but I'll give you the number of the person

00:24:51that lives next to me.

00:24:53It's 754532.

00:24:55Roger.

00:24:59You know, I might even set that plane on fire myself.

00:25:01I won't care about that fellow.

00:25:03The boy's having to get back to work.

00:25:05Hey, can I get a picture of him

00:25:07where he's kissing the girl, huh?

00:25:09Auf Wiedersehen.

00:25:11Ciao. Auf Wiedersehen.

00:25:17Sergeant McCullough.

00:25:19McCullough.

00:25:21I'm Dick O'Malley, Associated Press.

00:25:23I hear you're from St. Paul.

00:25:25Ja.

00:25:27Well, the St. Paul Dispatch is one of our member papers.

00:25:29They've been asking me to do one of those

00:25:31hometown boy flies lift stories.

00:25:33I don't usually work with this moxman.

00:25:35Both of our photographers are sick.

00:25:37Would you mind helping me out with some pictures

00:25:39and answering some questions?

00:25:41I don't know.

00:25:43I've read some of those pale blue yonder stories.

00:25:45I feel pretty silly.

00:25:47No, this has got a different angle.

00:25:49Oh, thanks. I appreciate it.

00:25:51Look, tell you what I want to do.

00:25:53I want to follow you and a load of flour

00:25:55from Rhine, Maine into Berlin

00:25:57through the warehouses

00:25:59with the flour winding up as a loaf of bread

00:26:01in some kid's arms.

00:26:03I see.

00:26:05Uh, you mean I'd have to come to Berlin?

00:26:07For a day or two.

00:26:09It wouldn't take more than a couple of hours' work, though.

00:26:11You know, sir,

00:26:13this story hasn't ever been done before.

00:26:15Funny, my mother writes to me

00:26:17and she says a lot of people ask her

00:26:19what happens to the food

00:26:21after Danny delivers it.

00:26:23That after I deliver it?

00:26:25Well, how do I know? I've never been outside Temple House.

00:26:27Well, you'll do it then.

00:26:29You can't get me into Berlin.

00:26:31I'll talk to headquarters.

00:26:33You know, the Air Force doesn't mind a little publicity now and then.

00:26:35They don't. I didn't know that.

00:26:37It's very interesting indeed.

00:26:39Fine, I'll pick you up in Rhine, Maine in a couple of days.

00:26:42Bye.

00:27:02What a swindle

00:27:04that they were asked to set a record you goof off.

00:27:06Well, I'll probably be working 18 hours

00:27:08today and all the time you'll be in Berlin

00:27:10with some beautiful Schatzi.

00:27:12Schatzi!

00:27:14Very colorful expression.

00:27:16You Air Force men are

00:27:18certainly interesting to listen to.

00:27:20Now quit the clowning and sit down here.

00:27:22The least you can do is take this trip.

00:27:24No, no, I couldn't. I'd be too nervous.

00:27:26I'd push all the wrong buttons.

00:27:28How long have you been flying the lift, sir?

00:27:30Since the first week in July.

00:27:32We all came over together.

00:27:3419th troop carrier from Honolulu.

00:27:36We're part of the 53rd now.

00:27:38Oh, it's a wonderful opportunity

00:27:40and I'm grateful for it.

00:27:42You really learn

00:27:44your job on this operation.

00:27:46It gives you the feeling of

00:27:48accomplishing something.

00:27:58You're now approaching the building area

00:28:00on a heading of 270.

00:28:02We're coming in GCA.

00:28:04Listen to it.

00:28:06Friend of mine. Best in the business.

00:28:08You are now over a building area

00:28:10going high on glide path.

00:28:12Adjust your rate of descent.

00:28:14Glide path improving.

00:28:16Quarter mile from touchdown on course

00:28:18on the glide path.

00:28:20Approaching the end of runway on course

00:28:22on the glide path.

00:28:24Now start breaking your glide.

00:28:26Take over visually now and complete your landing.

00:28:28That I gotta see.

00:28:36Well, this is the whole setup.

00:28:38You understand the principles of GCA?

00:28:40I wouldn't want to bet on it.

00:28:42Without getting too technical, it works something like this.

00:28:44See the antennas on top of the shack

00:28:46send out radio signals which hit an object

00:28:48and are reflected back here and show up on these scopes.

00:28:50Like an echo.

00:28:52Only a little faster, junior, they go out and come back with a speed of light.

00:28:54Like a fast echo.

00:28:56Now this scope is a 360 degree scan

00:28:58and it revolves with the

00:29:00antenna on the roof, you see.

00:29:02Now these spots that you see here, we call them

00:29:04the echoes, those stationary spots

00:29:06are their houses and buildings

00:29:08and chimneys and so forth.

00:29:10Now the ones that are moving with the tails on, you see them there?

00:29:12Right there, there's one, there's another one.

00:29:14Well those are planes coming in and going out.

00:29:16Now this scope isn't

00:29:18critical enough to land a plane so we have these

00:29:20two, see. Now here's the approach

00:29:22at the beginning of the runway

00:29:24and over here that's the glide path.

00:29:26Now any deviation in the normal

00:29:28descent is shown up in this meter right here.

00:29:30Well if you look through the glass you can see it.

00:29:32Now he's bringing one in now, you see him?

00:29:34He's 50 feet too high.

00:29:36Now this is the course scope which shows

00:29:38whether you're too far to the left or the right

00:29:40and here is the lateral approach which shows

00:29:42the end of the runway. You see that patch there?

00:29:44Well we just keep steering them into it right

00:29:46down the middle. Come on outside, I want to show you something.

00:29:58Now watch. It'll be right over

00:30:00the graveyard. Can you hear them in there?

00:30:02Level off momentarily.

00:30:04One mile from touchdown now over the

00:30:06building area. Right on

00:30:08centerline, right on glide path. Looking very nice.

00:30:10Approaching the end of the runway now.

00:30:12Right on centerline, right on

00:30:14glide path. Now start breaking your glide.

00:30:16We're now in the caretaker room.

00:30:18Immediately complete your landing. QSY to tower

00:30:20for taxi instructions.

00:30:22It's on.

00:30:24Well I'll be a, how do you like that?

00:30:28Now let me see. Turn a little bit toward me.

00:30:30That's fine. Not into the camera.

00:30:32Right here. Now look pleasant.

00:30:34That's fine.

00:30:36Good. Well I guess that does it, Sarge.

00:30:38Hold this, honey.

00:30:46Eye lines?

00:30:48Wrong side.

00:30:50Smoke?

00:30:52Off you start your growth.

00:30:56Here we are.

00:30:58Here, dear.

00:31:00Thank you.

00:31:02Well thanks a lot, Sarge.

00:31:04When I get the story done, I'm going to send you a copy.

00:31:06Thanks for getting me into Berlin.

00:31:08I promise I'll do my best to promote better feeling

00:31:10between Americans and Germans tonight.

00:31:12Well, guten tag.

00:31:14Danke.

00:31:16You're welcome, honey.

00:31:18Auf wiedersehen.

00:31:20Well, thanks again.

00:31:22Oh, so long.

00:31:24Auf wiedersehen.

00:31:26Yeah, yeah.

00:31:28Auf wiedersehen.

00:31:32So now you know how they bake bread in Germany.

00:31:34A mess sergeant could have told you in two minutes.

00:31:36I didn't want to date with a mess sergeant.

00:31:38Where can I telephone?

00:31:40There's one down the corner.

00:31:42You know someplace I can take her for dinner?

00:31:44Not around here. I know a spot where they don't bother you.

00:31:46Look, why don't I pick up my shot

00:31:48and we all have dinner.

00:31:50You've got a shot, see?

00:31:52After four months, even I get tired

00:31:54of looking at nothing but blips on a radar scope.

00:31:56That little half pint works

00:31:58in a mobile snack bar.

00:32:00I thought sure you'd latch on to some American

00:32:02secretary up in Hamburg.

00:32:04Oh, with them, it's perhaps I can see you on Thursday.

00:32:06How do I know I want to see her on Thursday?

00:32:08With Gertie, it's different.

00:32:10If I want to see her, I see her.

00:32:12If I feel like talking, she talks.

00:32:14And if I don't feel like it, she keeps her mouth shut.

00:32:16She gives me one day's service on my laundry.

00:32:18PX takes a week.

00:32:24What's the idea?

00:32:26Look, they belong in the gutter and if they don't get out of my way,

00:32:28I'm going to push them there.

00:32:30Got a coin?

00:32:40Hey, Fritz!

00:32:42Well, bring it over here.

00:32:44If I want it in the middle of the street,

00:32:46I'd ask for it there.

00:32:52Come on.

00:32:54Not at all.

00:32:56She is working where I want.

00:32:58Barbarossa, Stratford 26th.

00:33:00Well, that's right over by the field.

00:33:02You can drop me off.

00:33:04There you are.

00:33:12Who are you?

00:33:1426 Barbarossa.

00:33:1626 Barbarossa.

00:33:18It's over near the field.

00:33:20Barbarossa, Stratford, 26th.

00:33:24No, 26th.

00:33:26Neighbor Minster.

00:33:28Thank you.

00:33:30What's the matter, don't you trust your German?

00:33:32They don't understand me English.

00:33:34If they don't understand me the first time,

00:33:36I keep hollering at them until they do.

00:33:38Where did that get you?

00:33:40I learned my German the hard way and while I'm around,

00:33:42that's the way they're going to learn English.

00:33:44Now don't start feeling sorry for them.

00:33:46They hate our guts.

00:33:48If the situation was reversed,

00:33:50they'd kick your teeth in twice a day.

00:33:52Barbarossa, Stratford, 26th.

00:33:58You know, I wanted...

00:34:02Barbarossa, 26th.

00:34:04Neighbor Minster.

00:34:06Yes, that's right over there.

00:34:18Thank you.

00:34:22Thank you.

00:34:32Hi.

00:34:34Remember me?

00:34:36Captain Vodkalo.

00:34:38So you did get to Berlin.

00:34:40Yeah, I did.

00:34:42Uh, wouldn't tell you.

00:34:44They gave me 24 hours.

00:34:46I've used up five of them already.

00:34:48Seeing me like this surprises you, I suppose.

00:34:52Yes, it does.

00:34:54I guess I didn't picture you at such hard work.

00:34:56Not always.

00:34:58I used to be a secretary

00:35:00for the head of big laundry here in Berlin,

00:35:02but came the bouquet and...

00:35:08Do you want me to go?

00:35:10Oh, that's all right.

00:35:12You know, came the bouquet,

00:35:14no life, no laundry, no position

00:35:16and nobody else needed a secretary.

00:35:18And in Berlin,

00:35:20at 55, you must work.

00:35:22Wouldn't they find something easier for you than this?

00:35:24Maybe they could, but they didn't.

00:35:26It's hard, but we get the highest

00:35:28ration card, and that's very important here.

00:35:30Say, I hope after all this,

00:35:32you're free for dinner tonight.

00:35:34Thank you, yes.

00:35:38Hey, uh, how late do you work?

00:35:40I'll be about 20 minutes.

00:35:42All right.

00:35:44But I've got to do some shopping on my way home.

00:35:46That's okay, I'll wait.

00:35:48♪

00:36:18♪

00:36:42Strange, when you look in the stores,

00:36:44it seems like so little.

00:36:46Before you fly that stuff in, it seems like an awful lot.

00:36:48It is, but almost 70%

00:36:50of what you bring is coal.

00:36:52Yeah, I guess when you divide up what's left

00:36:54among two and a half million people, it's not so much.

00:36:56It's more than we expected.

00:36:58When the Russians blockaded Berlin,

00:37:00we all thought you would leave.

00:37:02There was an old saying, when the bear growls,

00:37:04the eagle will fly, and it happened.

00:37:06But you didn't fly out, you flew in.

00:37:08And we are grateful, very grateful.

00:37:10You know what? You've got a British accent.

00:37:12Where did you get it?

00:37:14I studied in England.

00:37:16On you, it sounds good.

00:37:18Thank you.

00:37:20Over there.

00:37:30Bitte.

00:37:32Nehmen Sie?

00:37:34Danke, danke, danke.

00:37:36Haben Sie Licht?

00:37:38Ja, ja, habe ich.

00:37:40Aber ich koche erst nach der Mittagspause.

00:37:42Ja, nach Essen.

00:37:46Oh, danke.

00:37:51Ja, ja, ja.

00:37:53Haben Sie vielleicht für meinen Kumpel?

00:37:55Ja, ja.

00:38:12And while you take a bath,

00:38:14I'll bring your uniform to the Schneider,

00:38:16and he'll clean it and press it.

00:38:18All this place for only two cigarettes.

00:38:20Oh, I got it on the bread, too.

00:38:22Well, with our bread nowadays,

00:38:24it might even taste better like that.

00:38:26Don't make me laugh.

00:38:28I'll go down and get your uniform now.

00:38:30Here's Herr Stiefel's bathrobe to put on.

00:38:32Thank you, ma'am.

00:38:36I'll go down and get your uniform now.

00:38:38Here's Herr Stiefel's bathrobe to put on.

00:38:40Thank you, ma'am.

00:38:44Guten Tag.

00:38:46Guten Tag.

00:38:48Guten Tag.

00:38:53Hello?

00:38:55Hello.

00:38:57Sorry to bother you.

00:39:00Was a dining room here.

00:39:02Stiefel, my name's McCullough.

00:39:04I wanted to thank you for the robe.

00:39:06And Frau Burkhardt tells me

00:39:08to thank you for my bath.

00:39:10I sure thank you.

00:39:25What are you doing?

00:39:27I'm an urgent spy.

00:39:31You're what?

00:39:33I'm an urgent spy.

00:39:35I count the planes that come to Templer, huh?

00:39:37The number of planes, time it comes,

00:39:39type of plane.

00:39:41Each three hours I talk to Russians.

00:39:43Each three hours you talk to Russians?

00:39:45Yeah.

00:39:47Aren't you afraid I'll report you?

00:39:49Americans know I do that.

00:39:51One time,

00:39:53they fixed a telephone for me.

00:39:55You're the only one who does this?

00:39:57No.

00:39:59Russians have like me

00:40:01a Pagle airfield in the Ghetto too.

00:40:03But the official figures on airlift

00:40:06the Russians must see it.

00:40:08But Russians don't believe it.

00:40:10Why? The figures are correct.

00:40:12The Air Force wants people to know.

00:40:14You believe this. I believe this.

00:40:16But Russians don't believe it.

00:40:18Russians believe nothing they see

00:40:20only what other Russians say.

00:40:22You know

00:40:24here in Berlin on the streets

00:40:26we have

00:40:28my English is not fake

00:40:30either, you know.

00:40:32To this place, to that place.

00:40:34This way

00:40:36to Andrews Barracks, that way

00:40:38to Amgers.

00:40:40Russians don't believe this.

00:40:42They say no one could be

00:40:44such a dumb cop to show

00:40:46the way to General Clay's office.

00:40:50Tell me something, sir.

00:40:52You count the planes? Yeah.

00:40:54The other spies do the same thing? Yeah.

00:40:56Then your figures must agree with the figures

00:40:58in the papers. No, no.

00:41:00Why not? Russians don't believe papers.

00:41:02And so I say

00:41:04sometimes less.

00:41:06That Russian's belief

00:41:08made them very happy.

00:41:10Here in that house on third

00:41:12what's that

00:41:14Stuckwerk

00:41:16you know

00:41:18Floor? Yeah.

00:41:20On third floor there's living a man,

00:41:22Herr Malcher, and he spies on me.

00:41:24But Russians don't know

00:41:26that Malcher is the husband of my sister.

00:41:28And so Malcher

00:41:30says to Russians

00:41:32Stiep is a very honest spy.

00:41:34Who spies on Malcher?

00:41:36His uncle? No, his nephew.

00:41:38Russians have

00:41:4015,000 Germans as spies.

00:41:42They give us payoks, you know,

00:41:44that are parcels with

00:41:46fat, made sugar sometimes, clothes

00:41:48and cigarettes, Russian cigarettes.

00:41:50Bread.

00:41:52I would like to work for Americans.

00:41:54Do they have many spies? No, not so many.

00:41:56Only 10,000.

00:41:5810,000?

00:42:00That means 25,000 spies spying on each other.

00:42:02Things must get a little

00:42:04a little diminished.

00:42:06Oh yeah, a little there diminished.

00:42:08But there's also maybe 500

00:42:10who are spying for both sides.

00:42:12They must love.

00:42:14That's necessary. It's a very good

00:42:16thing for

00:42:20no work. Unemployment?

00:42:22Yeah, yeah, that's a very good thing

00:42:24for unemployment.

00:42:28American Airlines

00:42:30commercial.

00:42:58I had a telephone?

00:43:00Ulmenstraße 22?

00:43:02Danke.

00:43:06Of all the Schneiders in Berlin

00:43:08the Russians have got to pinch the son of the one

00:43:10that's got my pants.

00:43:12Well, I can always sit by a window and watch

00:43:14lift planes land at Tempelhof. What are they wanting for anyway?

00:43:16Oh, I don't know. Well, the Russians, who knows?

00:43:18Maybe he says

00:43:20something they didn't like.

00:43:22Maybe he is something they need in Russia.

00:43:24Electric lights, men who can fix engines.

00:43:26Walks into a Russian sector and

00:43:28Auf Wiedersehen.

00:43:30Say, maybe you could go to the tailor's house and bring him back here.

00:43:32Yes, but for me

00:43:34he might not come if you weren't an American soldier.

00:43:36What am I going to wear?

00:43:38Oh no, no sir.

00:43:40If I'm seen out of uniform, I'm out of it.

00:43:42They give me ten days, you could buy stripes.

00:43:44Worse than that, they'll take away my PX card.

00:43:56No, thank you.

00:44:02Look, needles.

00:44:04We haven't seen those for years.

00:44:06I forgot my cigarettes.

00:44:08Oh, we can get some down there.

00:44:10I've only got scripts.

00:44:12Oh, you can pay me later.

00:44:18Have these cigarettes?

00:44:20He's got everything but bananas.

00:44:22You want bananas?

00:44:36How can you go out with me?

00:44:38I'd look like that too

00:44:40if it weren't for some friends in St. Louis.

00:44:42They send me these clothes.

00:44:50We're coming into the Russian sector.

00:44:52Russian sector?

00:44:54I thought everybody stayed out of the Russian sector.

00:44:56This is the military.

00:44:58The Germans go back and forth all day long.

00:45:00We just go through part of it here and then into the British sector.

00:45:02Russian sector?

00:45:04I thought everybody stayed out of the Russian sector.

00:45:06This is the military.

00:45:08The Germans go back and forth all day long.

00:45:10We just go through part of it here and then into the British sector.

00:45:12Is everything ready?

00:45:30I smell coffee.

00:45:33I smell coffee.

00:45:37Who has coffee?

00:45:39But somebody has to have coffee.

00:45:41But somebody has to have coffee.

00:45:43I'm going through the car now.

00:45:45When I come back, I want to see coffee.

00:45:47When I come back, I want to see coffee.

00:45:49Otherwise, we'll all be searched.

00:45:51Otherwise, we'll all be searched.

00:45:53What's the matter with him?

00:45:55He says somebody's got coffee

00:45:57and I let it down over his surgeon.

00:45:59Do you have coffee with you?

00:46:01For weeks, I've been saving it up

00:46:03to exchange it for coal.

00:46:05to exchange it for coal.

00:46:07To exchange it for coal.

00:46:09She's been saving the coffee to trade it for coal.

00:46:11She's been saving the coffee to trade it for coal.

00:46:13Put it under the hat.

00:46:15Don't look under the hat.

00:46:17Okay, thank you.

00:46:26So, where's the coffee now?

00:46:28Put it under the hat.

00:46:32You can't take it away from me.

00:46:34Calm down.

00:46:36You can be glad I'm not taking you with me.

00:46:53Hey, kids!

00:46:55He's got a pound of coffee now.

00:46:57If he'd examined us, he'd have 13 pounds.

00:46:59I've got 12.

00:47:01It's running, it's running.

00:47:03Two, please.

00:47:05You're still making a mistake of one pound.

00:47:19And now I don't know

00:47:21when he'll come home again.

00:47:31Well, I guess there's nothing we can do.

00:47:33Tell her we'll be back later.

00:47:39What are we going to do?

00:47:41I'm supposed to meet my friend in half an hour.

00:47:43We could go and have dinner and come back here afterwards.

00:47:45Go like this?

00:47:47All day, it won't bother you.

00:47:49Okay.

00:47:51How about that? Now the sun is shining.

00:47:53What's the address?

00:47:55I know where that is.

00:47:57It's not far from here.

00:47:59Walk.

00:48:01Wait a second.

00:48:03Get the saver in your shoe.

00:48:05It's better.

00:48:17Wait a minute.

00:48:19It's okay.

00:48:21It's okay.

00:48:23No.

00:48:25Before things were like this in Germany,

00:48:27how long would it have taken

00:48:29till I could put my arm around you?

00:48:31Oh, that would have depended on two things.

00:48:33Which part of Germany and which part of me.

00:48:35Like this, so close.

00:48:37Months and months.

00:48:39This barcade has hypnotized me.

00:48:47And this was just filled with trees.

00:48:49Oh, it was such a beautiful forest.

00:48:53And on Sundays, families used to walk along here

00:48:55and look at the statues.

00:48:57Who are all these characters?

00:48:59Frederick the Great.

00:49:03These are all the military heroes.

00:49:05It's called Sigisallee.

00:49:07Victory Avenue.

00:49:09They don't look for Sigis anymore, do they?

00:49:25Pretty good tenor sax.

00:49:27What did you say?

00:49:29They are hot?

00:49:31Yeah, smooth, in the groove, fine.

00:49:33Now,

00:49:35how do you work the students here?

00:49:37Well, in Germany, the work's for you and me.

00:49:39But when you get to know somebody real well?

00:49:41When you get familiar with them, too.

00:49:43It's like being bound.

00:49:45The same as on the street.

00:49:47Now, usually this would take a long time.

00:49:49But when you've only got 24 hours,

00:49:51you've used up a lot of them already.

00:49:53For such emergencies,

00:49:55we have the deuces.

00:49:57We link our arms and drink.

00:50:05Is there any custom to doing this a second time

00:50:07so we can get more companions?

00:50:09I've never heard of any.

00:50:11Well, let's start one.

00:50:13Good afternoon.

00:50:21Guten tag, Herr Kowalski.

00:50:23Well, this is impressive.

00:50:25You sure went native in a hurry.

00:50:27Well, that's my uniform and the tailor.

00:50:29Now I've got to find the tailor.

00:50:31They're the nicest looking pieces ever he made.

00:50:33I've seen them a long time.

00:50:35How do you do?

00:50:37Oh, where's your, uh...

00:50:39Gertie, she stopped a second ago or something.

00:50:41But she has a good shirt,

00:50:43so what she looks like to sit down.

00:50:45Sit down, don't squirm.

00:50:47This is Gertie.

00:50:49Gertie's good enough.

00:50:51Hi.

00:50:53You people shave hairs more than me.

00:50:55I believe this man over there

00:50:57is trying to attract your attention.

00:50:59Guten Abend.

00:51:01Guten Abend.

00:51:03You speak English very well.

00:51:05What did you learn?

00:51:07She also speaks a little Russian and French.

00:51:09I met him when I came in.

00:51:11He looks familiar.

00:51:13What's his name?

00:51:15I don't really know.

00:51:17Maybe he works around Tempelhof.

00:51:19Danny tells me your husband was killed in Russia.

00:51:21Yes.

00:51:23What was the SS?

00:51:25Do you want to dance?

00:51:27No, and I don't mind answering.

00:51:29My husband was not in the SS.

00:51:31He was drafted.

00:51:33Someday I'd like to meet just one German

00:51:35who wasn't listed.

00:51:37Nobody was ever drafted.

00:51:39I heard 11 million

00:51:41and I read in his paper...

00:51:43Who asked your opinion?

00:51:45And now I suppose you want to know

00:51:47about my father and my mother.

00:51:49My mother was killed in an air raid

00:51:51and my father went much earlier.

00:51:53He was a professor at the Berlin University

00:51:55and when they burned the books

00:51:57he spoke out against them violently.

00:51:59They burned his books and I haven't seen him since.

00:52:01Now is my record satisfactory, darling?

00:52:03Mind if she sits with us?

00:52:05Look, I just asked a couple of simple...

00:52:07Insulting questions.

00:52:09And I got a couple of insulting answers, so we're even.

00:52:11I'm sorry, okay?

00:52:13Okay.

00:52:15Your father must have been a very brave man

00:52:17to say those things to that man.

00:52:19Not brave, he just believed me, darling.

00:52:21My father believed too.

00:52:23Mr. Rauschen.

00:52:25Your father was a louse.

00:52:27That's the big reason you people

00:52:29got sucked in by Hitler, this father business.

00:52:31I swear I know that guy from somewhere.

00:52:33From the time German kids

00:52:35are so high, Papa is the boss.

00:52:37He tells you what to say, when to shut up,

00:52:39what to do, what to think.

00:52:41Papa can be the biggest jerk in the world

00:52:43but what Papa says goes.

00:52:45Then along comes another jerk like Hitler

00:52:47and he becomes the Papa for all the Papas.

00:52:49Yes, I've read about that power complex

00:52:51many a time.

00:52:53I doubt whether it's true, but if it is,

00:52:55you are certainly doing nothing to cure it.

00:52:57What do you mean?

00:52:59You're stupid, like you're treating Goethe exactly the same way.

00:53:01You tell her what to say, what to think.

00:53:07You know something, you're right.

00:53:09When I'm wrong, I admit it.

00:53:11You're absolutely right.

00:53:15From now on you can disagree with me.

00:53:17Out loud?

00:53:19Sure.

00:53:21And you'll answer questions?

00:53:23Of course.

00:53:25Good.

00:53:31But Harry, just...

00:53:33Don't go.

00:53:35Nothing, I just remember where I met that guy.

00:53:37But Harry...

00:53:39I'll be right back.

00:54:01I'll be right back.

00:54:31I'll be right back.

00:54:47Felix!

00:54:52You're confusing me with someone.

00:54:54My name is Günther Lütke.

00:54:56Here are my papers.

00:54:58I kept looking at you in that restaurant.

00:55:00I've seen you somewhere.

00:55:02When you got up and limped, it all came back to me.

00:55:04You're the spitting image of a guy I knew over here

00:55:06during the war when I was in a prison camp.

00:55:08His name was Felix.

00:55:10You're mistaken.

00:55:12My name is Günther Lütke.

00:55:14Take it easy, I just said.

00:55:16You looked like him.

00:55:18Let me tell you about this guy.

00:55:20He had a bad knee, just like yours.

00:55:22He couldn't get in the regular army,

00:55:24so they made him a prison guard.

00:55:26He wanted action.

00:55:29In English, that's enough.

00:55:31So this Felix started a private little war

00:55:33all his own.

00:55:35He hated the Americans.

00:55:37He hated the Poles, and I was both,

00:55:39so he picked on me.

00:55:41When we went out on work parties,

00:55:43he'd take me off in the woods

00:55:45and make me speak German.

00:55:47Not simple, easy things like Guten Tag

00:55:49and Auf Wiedersehen,

00:55:51but nice little tongue twisters

00:55:53like the Potsdamer Postkutsche.

00:55:55That's tough enough for a German,

00:55:57but he'd correct me with the front end of his rifle

00:55:59right here in the kidneys.

00:56:01It used to swell up like a hunk of dough

00:56:03with too much yeast in it.

00:56:05I got about three lessons a week.

00:56:07Took me about seven months,

00:56:09but I learned German.

00:56:11Of course, I'd forgotten some of it,

00:56:13but if the weather changes suddenly

00:56:15or I bend too quick,

00:56:17you'd be surprised how quick it comes back to me.

00:56:19It's a tough way to learn a language,

00:56:21but there was nothing I could do about it.

00:56:23When I was a prisoner,

00:56:25I didn't know that you were sort of

00:56:27in the same spot now.

00:56:29You're a German civilian,

00:56:31and if you got the beef with a soldier,

00:56:33you couldn't lift a finger, could you?

00:56:37I tried to get to the Russian sector

00:56:39so I couldn't follow him.

00:56:41You know, Felix, I could squeeze

00:56:43until you were as cold and wet as a statue,

00:56:45but it would be too easy.

00:56:50I'm going to give you an English lesson, Felix.

00:56:52I won't need a gun, but...

00:56:54Now, the Germans have a hard time

00:56:56with their Ws, don't they?

00:56:58I'm going to give you something easy to start

00:57:00with, not too tough.

00:57:02Just say it after me.

00:57:04Which way went the winged whippoorwill?

00:57:06Now, mind, I don't want to hear any Vs in there.

00:57:08I'll have to correct you.

00:57:10Now, try it.

00:57:12Which way went the winged whippoorwill?

00:57:17It's vague.

00:57:19No!

00:57:21No, Felix.

00:57:23Try it again.

00:57:26It's vague.

00:57:28I told you once more, Felix.

00:57:30Which way?

00:57:32It's vague.

00:57:34Peter!

00:57:36Peter!

00:57:43Are you crazy?

00:57:45Felix, let's get him!

00:57:49He'll freeze!

00:57:51Get him loose!

00:58:07That it?

00:58:09Hold!

00:58:15Daddy!

00:58:17Hurry, this way!

00:58:19Quickly!

00:58:21Hold!

00:58:25Get in the jeep!

00:58:27They're making for the gate!

00:58:31There they are!

00:58:45They stopped.

00:58:47What are they stopping for?

00:58:49Oh, they wouldn't come in here.

00:58:51This is the Russian sector.

00:58:53Oh, great.

00:58:55Oh, no, there's nothing to worry about.

00:58:57We just go down...

00:58:59You mean go on into?

00:59:01No, no, let's just wait here,

00:59:03and then we'll walk back.

00:59:05Into that jeep again?

00:59:07No, the best way is just a few blocks more here

00:59:09where there's nothing to worry about.

00:59:11Well, what about Hank?

00:59:13Oh, he'll be all right.

00:59:15It will be his word against Gunter's

00:59:17and they'll decide the Germans started it.

00:59:19And Gerda will be there.

00:59:21She'll lie if necessary.

00:59:23Cigarettes and soap are not easy to get.

00:59:25Oh, why didn't I bring my identity card?

00:59:27No identity... Do I look Russian to you?

00:59:29Still following us?

00:59:31No.

00:59:33Oh, you're not?

00:59:35No, I'm not.

00:59:37Why?

00:59:39I'm just following you.

00:59:41Oh, you're not?

00:59:43No.

00:59:45You're not?

00:59:47No.

00:59:49You're not?

00:59:51No.

00:59:53You're not?

00:59:55No.

00:59:57following us? No. We lost him. This way.

01:00:12No, no, this way.

01:00:15Ah!

01:00:17No, no!

01:00:19I can give you a twenty-six.

01:00:21Sunny, Sunny.

01:00:22Humpty, miss Humpty!

01:00:25I want to take us and we are in the twenty-six!

01:00:27She's quite right, you know.

01:00:28They are on our side.

01:00:29Where do you live?

01:00:31Temple of American sex.

01:00:32You?

01:00:33He is my husband.

01:00:34He was... he was shot in the throat during the war.

01:00:36He can't speak.

01:00:38Bull!

01:00:39What's the matter, these Russkies giving you trouble?

01:00:41Oh, same old thing mate, for a quarrel.

01:00:43Looks to me like they're way over on your side.

01:00:45Used to be a line here someplace.

01:00:47I know. Can't make anything of it, though. It's been cut now.

01:00:50Let's get this business settled once and for all.

01:00:52Let's call a meeting.

01:00:53Yeah, and I'll ring the duty officer.

01:00:55Fine. Now don't let them get these people away from me.

01:00:58No, no, no.

01:01:00I want you to stay.

01:01:03You mean they haven't been back here at all?

01:01:06No, and they haven't called on the telephone, too.

01:01:09Oh, it's all right. We're friends.

01:01:10Where's their room? We'll wait.

01:01:12Right here.

01:01:17Oh, a trunk fell on my hand.

01:01:19Will you heat me some water so I can soak it?

01:01:21Oh, yeah, yeah.

01:01:22Turn on a lamp, will you?

01:01:27I don't suppose anybody around here's got a drink.

01:01:34Here.

01:01:36Go make some coffee.

01:01:37Yes.

01:01:38Oh, but I don't know these people.

01:01:40Do you use up their gas?

01:01:41Give them some cigarettes.

01:01:45You don't feel better?

01:01:47No.

01:01:48Your hand hurts more?

01:01:50Not my hand.

01:01:54For seven years, I've been waiting for the satisfaction of beating that face in.

01:01:57So now I've done it, so why do I feel this way?

01:02:00It's such a dirty...

01:02:01It's better than feeling good.

01:02:05Go make the coffee, will you?

01:02:08Yes.

01:02:09The boundary is 14 metres from that kerbstone.

01:02:38Well, the colonel states that the boundary is not 14 metres from this cornerstone,

01:02:41but from that one.

01:02:42Let's measure it from over there.

01:02:44Fair enough.

01:02:46Well, the colonel states that the boundary is not 14 metres from this cornerstone,

01:02:49but from that one.

01:02:50Let's measure it from over there.

01:02:52Fair enough.

01:03:15What are we waiting for?

01:03:46Now, where was I?

01:03:48Oh, yes.

01:03:49And the Russians say you are...

01:03:51Lice, gangsters, rats.

01:03:53Yes, they say that too, but...

01:03:55What is it when you don't do what you say other people should do?

01:03:59Hypocrites.

01:04:00Yes, yes, you're a hypocrite.

01:04:02You fought Hitler because he was against the Jews.

01:04:04Oh, wait a minute.

01:04:05That's only one of the reasons.

01:04:06Yes, but still you hated him for it.

01:04:08And the Russians say in America,

01:04:10And they're right.

01:04:11It shouldn't be.

01:04:12It's fake.

01:04:13But where did you find out about it?

01:04:14I read it in a book.

01:04:15An American book?

01:04:16Yes.

01:04:17Where'd you get it?

01:04:18From a friend.

01:04:19Where'd the soldier get it?

01:04:20In the P.A.T.

01:04:21Well, look, stupid, that's your answer.

01:04:22Here's a book that points out something pretty awful about America,

01:04:25but it's written by an American, printed in America,

01:04:28it's a best-seller in America,

01:04:30and sent here by the American people.

01:04:32It's not a book.

01:04:33It's a book.

01:04:34It's a book.

01:04:35It's a book.

01:04:36It's a book.

01:04:37It's a book.

01:04:38It's a book.

01:04:39It's been sent here by the American government to be sold in the P.A.T.

01:04:42Yeah?

01:04:43Yeah, yeah.

01:04:45Look, the next time you're in the Russian sector,

01:04:47do me a favor, will you?

01:04:48Get me a copy of an anti-Russian book,

01:04:50written by a Russian living in Russia,

01:04:52printed in Russia,

01:04:53and sent here by the Russian government.

01:04:55Do that and I'll give you a month's salary.

01:04:57You get the point?

01:04:59Now I know!

01:05:01In America, it is not wrong to be wrong if you say it's wrong.

01:05:05What do you got stuck on your shoulders, a cantaloupe?

01:05:07I didn't say that.

01:05:08I can't say that. I'm only... I know, but I...

01:05:13Like the new look?

01:05:16Just adorable. Especially the midriff.

01:05:19It's cold.

01:05:21Well, at least you're still a sergeant. I thought maybe they shrunk you to a corporal.

01:05:25I think they cleaned it with reducing pills.

01:05:27You did a nice job of pressing code, don't you think?

01:05:29Which one are you going out on?

01:05:30107 right here.

01:05:32How'd it go last night?

01:05:34Very interesting.

01:05:35Interesting. What did you do? Go to the library?

01:05:37Yeah, we read Schopenhauer together till 6 in the morning.

01:05:40Hey, Mac, what happened to you?

01:05:42They sent me to the cleaners.

01:05:46It's amazing how much you go through and still want to keep on living.

01:05:50Yeah. I guess it hasn't been easy.

01:05:53I never realized staying alive could be a 24-hour job.

01:05:57And I suppose you wanted to know all about America?

01:06:00No, she didn't. She knows.

01:06:02She has friends who write to her from St. Louis.

01:06:04Look, why don't you come to it?

01:06:06She's a smart dame. She pays you fast.

01:06:08You're a nice, sweet, intelligent, understanding schmo.

01:06:11So with you, she's using the slow sympathy routine.

01:06:14I guarantee you, with me, just like that.

01:06:16Why don't you stop jumping to conclusions?

01:06:18Or at least use them where they fit. They don't happen to fit here.

01:06:21Look, she's had it. So have a lot of other people in this town.

01:06:24But she didn't want to talk about it. I made her tell me.

01:06:27Yeah, I know. You just have to drag it out of these poor people.

01:06:30I feel so sorry for them.

01:06:32Every Sunday at 4 o'clock, I come here and plead.

01:06:35You know, there are some things they just can't stand to talk about.

01:06:38Like Rotterdam, and Warsaw, and Coventry, and Medici,

01:06:41and Belsen, and Stockholm, and Buchenwald.

01:06:43Did she talk to you about these things? No!

01:06:45This is something that happened 10,000 years ago.

01:06:48That, the Germans never heard of. That, they can't remember.

01:06:50But they didn't get meat last week.

01:06:52This, they remember. And this, they feed to suckers like you, Paul.

01:06:55What am I supposed to do? Blame all that on a girl who was, what, 15 at the time?

01:07:00I'm as blind as they ever stand!

01:07:31Hey, look! This bear's got holes in him!

01:07:33That's late for your luck.

01:07:35Hey, you think this is big enough to bite that?

01:07:37Now hurry, you'd better buy two and sew them together.

01:07:39Don't you have anyone for a few moments?

01:07:41Hey, lady, could you model these for me, please?

01:07:46I'll take the white one.

01:08:00Where's the landmine weather?

01:08:02It's closed now and will be until this afternoon.

01:08:04You'll get off about 1300.

01:08:10Okay, okay, you can go to town to see her, but keep checking the weather.

01:08:13Yes, sir, yes, sir. Thank you, sir.

01:08:31You should have took off in a hurry.

01:08:33By the time I got out from the shack, you were gone.

01:08:35You run out of time?

01:08:36No, I just wanted to talk to you.

01:08:37I got to talk to somebody else.

01:08:38That's what I want to talk to you about.

01:08:40What about it?

01:08:41Delivering your cigarettes and blouses and stockings and coffee.

01:08:44I just wanted to see you get your money's worth.

01:08:46So far, you haven't been.

01:08:48Maybe you'd better look at this.

01:08:50What?

01:08:51What is this?

01:08:53A little further down, you'll see that that husband of hers was in the SS.

01:08:56In the early days, those boys weren't drafted.

01:09:00Where'd you get this?

01:09:02I figured it for a phony right from the start.

01:09:04A friend of mine in the document center looked up the file on her.

01:09:07On the next page, you'll find out that that wonderful father of hers never saw a university.

01:09:11Had a little go.

01:09:12One of the keeps until he played ball with the boys.

01:09:14Nice guy.

01:09:15It's true.

01:09:16All of it.

01:09:18There are many other things they'll lie to you about and they're not on that paper.

01:09:24Why?

01:09:29Why?

01:09:30Why do you want to know?

01:09:32You're going to tell them.

01:09:38Look.

01:09:39You're going to tell them.

01:09:40I'm going to tell them.

01:09:41I'm going to tell them.

01:09:42I'm going to tell them.

01:09:43Why?

01:09:46What I told you is maybe what I wish had happened.

01:09:51What your husband did and what your father did, that wasn't your fault.

01:09:56But why did you lie to me about that?

01:09:59Perhaps to make you more sympathetic.

01:10:04When you have to live by the generosity of others, you learn to make yourself pitiful and brave.

01:10:12When you live in a sewer, you soon discover that the sewer rat is best equipped to survive.

01:10:20You look around you at that.

01:10:23That's why we lie.

01:10:27To escape from it for even a moment now and then.

01:10:41Thank you.

01:11:12I'm sorry.

01:11:14No, I'm not sorry.

01:11:17Not at all.

01:11:19Well, I didn't do anything.

01:11:41Thank you.

01:12:11Come on.

01:12:13Come on.

01:12:41We've been here longer than six months already.

01:12:45How do you like that? I've been home three weeks and he doesn't know it.

01:12:51Morning.

01:12:52Morning, sir.

01:12:58Excuse me, sir.

01:13:00What can I do for you, Sergeant?

01:13:02I'd like to apply for permission to marry a German civilian, sir.

01:13:06I've discovered, Sergeant, that all the Germans I've ever met have been Germans.

01:13:11All such applications made at 8.30 in the morning are always cancelled a few days later.

01:13:16Why don't you wait till about 5 this afternoon?

01:13:18Oh, it's not like that, sir. I was on duty last night.

01:13:21Oh.

01:13:23Well, I guess I can dispense with the talk I give the kids.

01:13:27I guess you're old enough to know your own mind.

01:13:29Ask the Sergeant. He'll give you the necessary papers.

01:13:32I'll go over the case as soon as you fill them out.

01:13:34But you must remember, Sergeant, that if and when I give my permission,

01:13:37the marriage cannot take place until 30 days before your departure.

01:13:40I understand that, sir.

01:13:42Uh, I noticed by the paper this morning, rotation is starting.

01:13:46Is there any indication of when my number might come up?

01:13:48That's all pretty new.

01:13:50But I wouldn't count on anything for less than 60 days.

01:13:54Thank you, sir.

01:14:05Boy, you ground Germans have sure got it tough, I don't know how you stand it.

01:14:08Just grit your teeth. You'll get used to it. Want a cup of coffee?

01:14:10No, I can't. I've got to get back.

01:14:12They're trying to make the turnaround in 14 minutes.

01:14:15Will you take this? Give it to Frederica.

01:14:18There are papers she's got to fill out.

01:14:19Sucker. Why do you...

01:14:21Look, the only permission I need is from my squadron commander, not from you.

01:14:25Will you deliver it?

01:14:26If it clears up, I will. If not, I'll give it to Katie.

01:14:39You mean to say, in America, if you want to go from one place to another,

01:14:43you don't have to have permission from the authorities?

01:14:46No, all you need is a train fare. Just pack your bag and go.

01:14:50Unwahrscheinlich.

01:14:53Ah.

01:14:54Guten Tag, Herr Stieber.

01:14:55Guten Tag, Frau Engabe.

01:14:56Hey.

01:14:57Will you give this to Frederica?

01:14:58It's from Danny.

01:14:59Yes.

01:15:00Certainly.

01:15:01Okay.

01:15:02Wiedersehen.

01:15:03Wiedersehen.

01:15:04Wiedersehen.

01:15:05Äh, was passiert?

01:15:06Nothing.

01:15:15Oh, haben Sie mich dabei?

01:15:17Nein, nur für Frau Burka.

01:15:19Danke schön.

01:15:20Danke schön.

01:15:34Ja?

01:15:35Kommen Sie rein?

01:15:36Hier sind drei Briefe für Sie.

01:15:37Der hier ist von Danny.

01:15:38Das hat Herr Kowalski an die Mail gegeben.

01:15:39Und der kam in die Mitte Post.

01:15:40Oh, danke.

01:16:05How are you going to make this job?

01:16:19General Turner's office.

01:16:20Yeah?

01:16:21Yeah, Davenport.

01:16:22What?

01:16:23Yeah, we'll be right over.

01:16:24Hey, Danny, they just posted the stateside list for next week.

01:16:27Hey, they just posted the stateside list.

01:16:29Hey, Danny, I see they got you out for Friday.

01:16:39Hey, let me go.

01:16:42Come in.

01:16:45I am holding.

01:16:46I'm sorry to bother you, sir.

01:16:50I just found out I'm due to go home on Friday.

01:16:53So I see.

01:16:54Placement's coming through faster than we thought.

01:16:56Yes, sir, but what about my marriage application?

01:16:58I'm trying to get Berlin now to see what we can do about it.

01:17:01Hello?

01:17:02Is Major Bolt there?

01:17:04Major Bolt?

01:17:05I can't hear you.

01:17:07Speak louder.

01:17:08Major Bolt.

01:17:10Baker.

01:17:11Able.

01:17:12Love.

01:17:13Hair.

01:17:15Yes, Bolt.

01:17:17These long-distance calls are murder.

01:17:19I think the German telephone system is made out of chicken wire.

01:17:23I hope we can speed up your application.

01:17:25Perhaps I could go home a couple of weeks later.

01:17:27Oh, no, Sergeant.

01:17:29That would mean 50 forms in triplicate and cost the government at least $30,000.

01:17:33Hello?

01:17:34Major Bolt?

01:17:35This is Major Hetzel.

01:17:37Who?

01:17:38Major Hetzel at Ryan, Maine.

01:17:41You'll have to speak louder.

01:17:42I can't hear you.

01:17:44Yes, louder.

01:17:45Love.

01:17:46Oval.

01:17:47Uncle.

01:17:48Dog.

01:17:49Easy.

01:17:50Roger.

01:17:51Okay.

01:17:56Now, here's the dope, Sergeant.

01:17:59Instead of sending your papers through the regular channels,

01:18:02they'll give them to your pilot on your next trip up.

01:18:05He will bring them to me.

01:18:07I will sign them in the 18 places and give them to you.

01:18:10I certainly thank you, sir.

01:18:12But what about that month before departure regulation?

01:18:15This is classified as extraordinary condition.

01:18:19Circular 3, paragraph D, subsection 12.

01:18:24You can carry her any time before your departure time Friday.

01:18:28But she lives in Berlin, sir.

01:18:29I know.

01:18:30Get one of the off-duty engineers to ride up with you and he can work the trip back.

01:18:34Yes, sir.

01:18:35Thank you very, very much.

01:18:36Okay.

01:18:38But I wish you guys would stay single.

01:18:47Oh, and these shoes.

01:19:06Stieber will be very grateful.

01:19:08The ones he's got are so bad.

01:19:10Honey, you're talking to the guy that wore them.

01:19:15Forty-eight hours and you won't have to worry anymore about red tape.

01:19:18What did he say?

01:19:19I said...

01:19:21Shut up!

01:19:23Forty-eight hours and you won't have any more worries about red tape.

01:19:26I'm coming!

01:19:29I guess we gotta... I gotta go. Here, darling.

01:19:31You idiot.

01:19:33Bye, dear.

01:19:35Ah!

01:19:39Bye, dear. See you soon.

01:19:42Goodbye.

01:20:11What's a bye word for idiot?

01:20:13Pilot.

01:20:14Sir.

01:20:16Let me see if I can work it out.

01:20:22Well, here comes one of our pigeons home.

01:20:25It looks like he's gonna roost for a few days.

01:20:52I'm afraid not, Sergeant.

01:20:54It says here stateside departures will be on schedule.

01:20:58You will leave by train tomorrow for Bremerhaven and home by boat.

01:21:05Thank you, sir.

01:21:1153rd Troop Carrier Squadron, Major Hessel speaking.

01:21:15Yes, Colonel.

01:21:18Right away, sir.

01:21:21Then we hope it will lift enough here for takeoff starting at 1,200 hours.

01:21:26With Tempelhof partially and intermittently open starting at 1,400 hours.

01:21:31It is important to land every ton we can, but your lives are more important.

01:21:36You will make your GCA approach, and when you have let down to your minimums,

01:21:41if you do not have sufficient visibility, pull up and come back.

01:21:45Taxi conditions at takeoff position here are not good.

01:21:48Proceed cautiously.

01:21:50Here is your time, Hack.

01:21:54Okay, in 20 seconds, it will be 1115.

01:22:05What am I doing here?

01:22:07Today's my day off.

01:22:09I ought to have my head examined.

01:22:14What that follow-me jeep needs is another follow-me jeep to follow.

01:22:24Tower just cleared 6-8.

01:22:50Hey, Tower, this is 3-7.

01:22:52What are you waiting for?

01:22:53Tower to 3-7, keep your shirt on.

01:22:55How's your visibility?

01:22:56Can't complain.

01:22:57How's yours?

01:22:58Look, wise guy, how far can you see?

01:23:01I can see up in the tower.

01:23:03Looks more like you need a shave.

01:23:05Okay, it's your neck.

01:23:06You're clear.

01:23:07Pardon the expression.

01:23:08To takeoff.

01:23:093-7, roger.

01:23:10Bye-bye.

01:23:34We'll never get in there, six missiles in a row.

01:23:37Well, maybe we'll be lucky.

01:23:385-5 got in.

01:24:04Too thick, I guess, huh?

01:24:10We're down to minimums.

01:24:11Can you see anything?

01:24:15There's no way for two kids.

01:24:19I don't want to be a hero.

01:24:20We're going home.

01:24:21Flaps up to 20.

01:25:19About the same, sir.

01:25:20Maybe a little worse.

01:25:22Do any good?

01:25:23It's still down.

01:25:24Better give them a call.

01:29:38I've just been floated.

01:29:39Stop running like a jungle.

01:29:41Get out of here.

01:29:42I've been looking all over for you.

01:30:06Danny!

01:30:07Hi.

01:30:08But today like this, how could you possibly get...

01:30:09Honey, we're getting married today.

01:30:11We haven't got time for this kind of thing.

01:30:14But, tell me...

01:30:15No, don't cry, quiet.

01:30:16Just listen.

01:30:17We gotta move fast.

01:30:18I gotta get to the consulate right away

01:30:19and get some papers stamped.

01:30:20But look, you gotta go home, get dressed,

01:30:22and meet me as soon as you can

01:30:23at the Temple of Burgermeister.

01:30:25Hank and Gerda will be there.

01:30:26They're our witnesses.

01:30:27Now, where is your stuff?

01:30:28There.

01:30:38Come on, open the door.

01:30:42Come in.

01:30:43Get your coat on.

01:30:44We gotta be witnesses at the funeral.

01:30:46Max, Marion, and Jane.

01:30:50Don't just stand there.

01:30:51Come on, look alive.

01:30:52Get moving.

01:30:54I don't feel like going.

01:31:00I don't feel like going.

01:31:02Look, I don't care what you feel like.

01:31:04Get your coat on.

01:31:05You treat me just like my father did.

01:31:08Get your coat on.

01:31:09Do this, do that.

01:31:10Keep quiet, sit down, stand up.

01:31:12I'm tired of it

01:31:13and I'm not going to stand for it anymore.

01:31:15What's the matter?

01:31:16Are you plastered or something?

01:31:17What have you been drinking?

01:31:18Words, good words.

01:31:20I've been reading this.

01:31:21Your Constitution.

01:31:23The Bill of Rights.

01:31:24What Lincoln said and Wilson and Roosevelt.

01:31:26Don't let it go to your head.

01:31:27And after what I read, I see something now.

01:31:30You are a disgrace to America

01:31:32and they shouldn't send people like you here.

01:31:34Now, enough is enough.

01:31:35Who do you think you're talking to?

01:31:37It doesn't matter.

01:31:38It doesn't matter.

01:31:39I can say what I want.

01:31:41Article 1 says,

01:31:42Congress shall make no law

01:31:43respecting an establishment of religion

01:31:45or prohibiting the free exercise thereof

01:31:49or of the press

01:31:50or the right of the people

01:31:51peaceably to assemble

01:31:52and to petition the government

01:31:53for a redress of grievances.

01:31:55That's what it says, you big, stupid jackass.

01:31:58One more crack like that

01:31:59and so help me,

01:32:00I'll knock you from here to Potsdam.

01:32:02All right, go ahead.

01:32:03Hit me, you stormtrooper.

01:32:07Now, wait a minute.

01:32:08You're not yelling at some crummy kraut, you know.

01:32:10I'm the guy that brings you

01:32:11the cigarettes and the candy

01:32:12and the soap and the stockings

01:32:13and the coffee.

01:32:14I'm sick of you and your coffee.

01:32:16Get out of here.

01:32:17I'll have you thrown out.

01:32:18And I got the perfect right to.

01:32:20Article 3 says,

01:32:21no soldier shall in time of peace

01:32:23be quartered in any house

01:32:24without the consent of the owner

01:32:25nor in time of war

01:32:26but in a manner to be prescribed by law.

01:32:28Come get out and stay out

01:32:30and don't come back because of me.

01:32:33Baby, now you got it.

01:32:35That's what I've been trying to tell you.

01:32:36Don't let anybody push you around.

01:32:38Not even me.

01:32:39That's democracy.

01:32:40Now you got it.

01:32:42You can't take your cigarettes

01:32:43and your candy

01:32:44and the soap and the stockings.

01:32:45That's your baby keep picture.

01:32:46Hit the bullseye

01:32:47and you get your first paper.

01:32:49Yes, come on.

01:32:51You're a citizen, honey.

01:32:53And you're a spaz.

01:32:54And you're a spaz.

01:32:56No!

01:32:57No!

01:32:58No!

01:33:07Gertie.

01:33:08I mean, Gerta.

01:33:10Please put your coat on, baby.

01:33:11We'll be late.

01:33:26Yes?

01:33:27I was just about to leave.

01:33:28Can I take you with me?

01:33:29You must be exaggerating.

01:33:30I just wrote it down

01:33:31and wanted to give it to you.

01:33:32Then give it to me.

01:33:33I'll put it on the post office.

01:33:34You can give me the money later.

01:33:35Wonderful.

01:33:36Thank you very much.

01:36:45Goodbye.

01:36:46Goodbye.

01:36:47Goodbye.

01:36:48Goodbye.

01:36:49I hope you get your wish and find a way to get out of Germany.

01:36:53And I hope you don't.

01:36:54We could do without you, too.

01:36:56I'm afraid your grandmother handed you down a lot besides that wedding ring.

01:37:05Gerda!

01:37:06Where are you going?

01:37:07Oh, I've got to find Danny. I can't let him go like this.

01:37:10He mustn't judge people by a person, good or bad.

01:37:14For what she did there is no excuse.

01:37:16But to know how she could do it, he must look back.

01:37:20When we grew up, only lies were taught.

01:37:22And to tell the truth was to disappear.

01:37:26Only the end was important, they told us.

01:37:28How we reached the end made no difference.

01:37:31Cruelty was everywhere.

01:37:32And to betray your friends was not bad.

01:37:35Feelings of others meant nothing.

01:37:36And... Oh, Hank, I've got to talk to him.

01:37:44For some, there has not been time enough yet to unlearn the things.

01:37:48Gerda! Gerda!

01:37:51You go on back to your place. I'll see you later.

01:37:53Mac, come on, let's grab this taxi.

01:37:56Oh, Gerda!

01:37:59Bye.

01:38:00Bye, Danny.

01:38:01See you sometime.

01:38:02No, I don't think so. I stay here.

01:38:05I want to see one day the right kind of Germany.

01:38:09Maybe I can't help much, but I want to see it.

01:38:13And if everybody who wants something different and better looks for it someplace else,

01:38:18what happens here?

01:38:20No, I'll stay.

01:38:21Goodbye, Danny.

01:38:23Goodbye.

01:38:43Hey, there's one up. Looks like he'll get away.

01:38:47Yeah.

01:38:48How about you?

01:38:49I forgot to tell you I switched to permanent duty.

01:38:52All right, they got some new GCA equipment coming in.

01:38:54They want me to help get the kinks out of it, that's all.

01:38:57Why don't you watch what you're doing?

01:38:59Trillion's business. It took me their life.

01:39:01He isn't showing good.

01:39:02I'll resign tomorrow for a six-figure.

01:39:03All he needs is a bursary.

01:39:05Jawohl, Herr Schatz.

01:39:08Well, I suppose if we're ever going to sell these stoofs a new way of living,

01:39:12you've got to be a pretty good salesman.

01:39:14Anyway, it won't kill me to try it for a while.

01:39:18Hiya, Max. Going back with us?

01:39:21Yeah.

01:39:25I seem to remember us standing like this once before, shouting at biceps.

01:39:30Guess you were right.

01:39:31No, we were both wrong.

01:39:33You were too easy, and like Goethe says, I was acting like a stormtrooper.

01:39:37I suppose the answer lies somewhere between us.

01:39:40I say, if we never made mistakes, we'd be second lieutenants.

01:39:46Well, see you, Hank.

01:39:50Goodbye, Danny.

01:39:52Danke, danke, danke.

01:39:54Danke, danke, danke.

01:39:56Danke, danke, danke.
