- 1
- 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,693
- ...the mass execution of Jews.
- 2
- 00:02:34,195 --> 00:02:38,073
- My duty as an officer is no longer to save my country,
- 3
- 00:02:38,908 --> 00:02:40,909
- but to save human lives.
- 4
- 00:02:42,787 --> 00:02:45,831
- I cannot find one general in a position to confront Hitler
- 5
- 00:02:45,915 --> 00:02:48,000
- with the courage to do it.
- 6
- 00:02:48,376 --> 00:02:50,085
- Colonel Stauffenberg, sir.
- 7
- 00:02:50,170 --> 00:02:52,254
- The General will be here in four hours.
- 8
- 00:02:52,338 --> 00:02:55,465
- Thank you. I'll need to see him when he arrives.
- 9
- 00:02:59,429 --> 00:03:00,971
- I find myself surrounded by men
- 10
- 00:03:01,055 --> 00:03:03,557
- unwilling or unable to face the truth.
- 11
- 00:03:04,434 --> 00:03:07,978
- Hitler is not only the arch-enemy of the entire world
- 12
- 00:03:08,062 --> 00:03:10,272
- but the arch-enemy of Germany.
- 13
- 00:03:12,317 --> 00:03:14,776
- A change must be made.
- 14
- 00:03:18,114 --> 00:03:21,283
- Colonel, my orders are to advance
- to Sidi Mansour and hold it.
- 15
- 00:03:21,367 --> 00:03:22,367
- That's what we'll do.
- 16
- 00:03:22,452 --> 00:03:23,994
- The British are moving up from the south,
- 17
- 00:03:24,078 --> 00:03:25,370
- Patton is closing in on the coast.
- 18
- 00:03:25,455 --> 00:03:26,788
- You know, we should have left two days ago.
- 19
- 00:03:26,873 --> 00:03:28,540
- No, Colonel.
- 20
- 00:03:28,625 --> 00:03:31,710
- We keep fighting until the final victory.
- 21
- 00:03:31,794 --> 00:03:32,836
- North Africa's lost,
- 22
- 00:03:32,921 --> 00:03:34,379
- and you're going to need these men a year from now
- 23
- 00:03:34,464 --> 00:03:36,131
- to defend Berlin.
- 24
- 00:03:36,633 --> 00:03:39,843
- We can serve Germany or the Führer, not both.
- 25
- 00:03:42,263 --> 00:03:45,724
- It's just that sort of talk that had you sent here, Colonel.
- 26
- 00:03:45,808 --> 00:03:47,935
- What I said was much worse.
- 27
- 00:03:49,979 --> 00:03:51,271
- General.
- 28
- 00:03:53,691 --> 00:03:56,985
- I'm just trying to get these men out of here alive.
- 29
- 00:04:04,994 --> 00:04:06,578
- What would you have me do?
- 30
- 00:04:06,704 --> 00:04:08,288
- Tell Command we're low on water.
- 31
- 00:04:08,373 --> 00:04:11,583
- We'd have to reroute to Mezzouna, join the 21st Panzer.
- 32
- 00:04:11,668 --> 00:04:14,127
- At least then we'd have a chance.
- 33
- 00:04:15,004 --> 00:04:19,341
- And the records will show
- that we didn't have enough
- water to reach Sidi Mansour?
- 34
- 00:04:19,425 --> 00:04:21,176
- I can guarantee it.
- 35
- 00:04:31,354 --> 00:04:33,063
- See that it's done.
- 36
- 00:04:33,773 --> 00:04:35,023
- General.
- 37
- 00:08:15,786 --> 00:08:16,870
- Up!
- 38
- 00:08:26,839 --> 00:08:27,964
- Down!
- 39
- 00:08:46,776 --> 00:08:48,568
- Hitler's leaving. Now?
- 40
- 00:08:48,653 --> 00:08:49,945
- Ja. Fuse.
- 41
- 00:09:23,479 --> 00:09:26,189
- Colonel Brandt! Colonel Brandt!
- 42
- 00:09:28,609 --> 00:09:30,819
- My regards to Colonel Stieff.
- 43
- 00:09:32,196 --> 00:09:34,322
- Cointreau?
- 44
- 00:09:34,448 --> 00:09:36,575
- Let's hope I don't get thirsty on the flight.
- 45
- 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,226
- This is Tresckow.
- 46
- 00:10:15,448 --> 00:10:16,865
- He's landed.
- 47
- 00:10:25,082 --> 00:10:26,499
- This is General Tresckow.
- 48
- 00:10:26,584 --> 00:10:29,461
- Connect me with Operations, Colonel Brandt.
- 49
- 00:10:31,714 --> 00:10:33,381
- Colonel! Tresckow.
- 50
- 00:10:34,050 --> 00:10:36,885
- I'm glad you arrived safely. I hate to trouble you,
- 51
- 00:10:36,969 --> 00:10:40,722
- but it seems you have the wrong bottles for Colonel Stieff.
- 52
- 00:10:41,349 --> 00:10:43,600
- You do still have the package?
- 53
- 00:10:46,854 --> 00:10:47,896
- Oh, no, no, no.
- 54
- 00:10:47,980 --> 00:10:50,815
- As it happens, I've been called to Berlin unexpectedly.
- 55
- 00:10:50,900 --> 00:10:54,194
- I can be at your office
- first thing tomorrow
- morning to pick it up.
- 56
- 00:10:54,278 --> 00:10:55,904
- Sorry for the inconvenience, Colonel.
- 57
- 00:10:56,072 --> 00:10:57,697
- Yes, thank you.
- 58
- 00:11:00,409 --> 00:11:02,243
- Do you think he knows?
- 59
- 00:11:03,245 --> 00:11:05,121
- Well, there's only one way to find out.
- 60
- 00:11:18,260 --> 00:11:20,345
- We've been discovered. What makes you think that?
- 61
- 00:11:20,429 --> 00:11:21,596
- Oster's been arrested.
- 62
- 00:11:21,681 --> 00:11:23,098
- The Gestapo came for him last night.
- 63
- 00:11:23,182 --> 00:11:25,308
- The Gestapo could have arrested him for anything.
- 64
- 00:11:25,393 --> 00:11:26,851
- What do you think went wrong?
- 65
- 00:11:26,936 --> 00:11:28,687
- We don't know.
- 66
- 00:11:28,771 --> 00:11:30,605
- Fuse. Temperature. Altitude.
- 67
- 00:11:30,690 --> 00:11:33,191
- All I know is the damn thing didn't go off.
- 68
- 00:11:43,994 --> 00:11:46,162
- General Tresckow to see Colonel Brandt.
- 69
- 00:11:46,247 --> 00:11:48,790
- The Colonel's expecting you, sir.
- 70
- 00:11:58,926 --> 00:12:00,176
- At ease.
- 71
- 00:12:10,020 --> 00:12:11,146
- You'll forgive me, General.
- 72
- 00:12:11,230 --> 00:12:14,691
- This little round-up has had me writing reports all day.
- 73
- 00:12:15,609 --> 00:12:18,027
- Roundup? Dissenters.
- 74
- 00:12:19,196 --> 00:12:21,072
- Another plot against the Führer.
- 75
- 00:12:21,157 --> 00:12:23,283
- Who are these people?
- 76
- 00:12:26,871 --> 00:12:28,663
- You'd be surprised.
- 77
- 00:12:31,751 --> 00:12:36,963
- Now, is this what you've come for?
- 78
- 00:12:45,097 --> 00:12:47,182
- Perhaps we should open it.
- 79
- 00:12:48,434 --> 00:12:50,143
- I beg your pardon?
- 80
- 00:12:50,686 --> 00:12:52,103
- Well, you've come a long way.
- 81
- 00:12:52,188 --> 00:12:54,439
- You must be thirsty.
- 82
- 00:13:00,362 --> 00:13:03,364
- You know, I wonder how the Führer, who does not partake,
- 83
- 00:13:03,449 --> 00:13:06,826
- would feel about a soldier who did so on duty.
- 84
- 00:13:13,542 --> 00:13:15,084
- Colonel Brandt.
- 85
- 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,548
- I took you for another sort, General.
- 86
- 00:13:22,384 --> 00:13:23,718
- And I you.
- 87
- 00:13:32,937 --> 00:13:35,814
- We're still in business.
- 88
- 00:13:35,898 --> 00:13:37,357
- Find a replacement for Oster.
- 89
- 00:13:37,441 --> 00:13:39,984
- There's no one we can trust, not in Berlin.
- 90
- 00:13:40,069 --> 00:13:42,570
- Well, then stop looking in Berlin.
- 91
- 00:14:09,932 --> 00:14:11,975
- Countess von Stauffenberg?
- 92
- 00:14:12,893 --> 00:14:15,562
- Perhaps before you go in,
- we could have a word
- together in my office.
- 93
- 00:14:15,646 --> 00:14:17,730
- I will see my husband now.
- 94
- 00:14:25,823 --> 00:14:28,741
- The right hand has been amputated above the wrist.
- 95
- 00:14:28,826 --> 00:14:32,537
- He's missing the fourth and fifth fingers on the left hand.
- 96
- 00:14:32,621 --> 00:14:34,873
- We couldn't save the left eye.
- 97
- 00:15:33,682 --> 00:15:34,974
- Colonel.
- 98
- 00:15:37,311 --> 00:15:39,228
- When you're ready, sir.
- 99
- 00:16:21,021 --> 00:16:23,731
- I'm a soldier. I serve my country.
- 100
- 00:16:25,609 --> 00:16:27,860
- But this is not my country.
- 101
- 00:16:27,945 --> 00:16:32,824
- I was lying out there
- bleeding to death,
- thinking, "If I die now,
- 102
- 00:16:32,908 --> 00:16:35,785
- "I leave nothing to my children but shame."
- 103
- 00:16:38,664 --> 00:16:42,083
- I know now there's only one way to serve Germany.
- 104
- 00:16:43,585 --> 00:16:47,380
- In doing so, I'll be a traitor. I accept that.
- 105
- 00:16:49,008 --> 00:16:52,051
- Just tell me, can these men see it through?
- 106
- 00:16:55,055 --> 00:16:59,767
- We need to reorganize.
- Reconsider our strategy,
- recruit new men.
- 107
- 00:17:01,145 --> 00:17:03,104
- That's why we want you.
- 108
- 00:17:05,816 --> 00:17:08,943
- You understand what will happen to my wife and children
- 109
- 00:17:09,028 --> 00:17:11,487
- if these men can't see it through?
- 110
- 00:17:15,034 --> 00:17:17,618
- Come and hear what they have to say.
- 111
- 00:17:30,507 --> 00:17:32,592
- You know where to find us.
- 112
- 00:18:00,037 --> 00:18:03,039
- Enough! Enough.
- I'm not going to listen
- to another word of this.
- 113
- 00:18:03,123 --> 00:18:05,333
- You had your chance, you failed.
- 114
- 00:18:05,417 --> 00:18:08,961
- Your so-called "central solution" didn't work.
- 115
- 00:18:09,046 --> 00:18:11,964
- Our only option now is to confront Hitler openly.
- 116
- 00:18:12,049 --> 00:18:13,174
- This is a military operation...
- 117
- 00:18:13,258 --> 00:18:14,425
- It's not a military operation,
- 118
- 00:18:14,510 --> 00:18:15,760
- it's a political organization,
- 119
- 00:18:15,844 --> 00:18:18,262
- and one that's given its military arm too much control.
- 120
- 00:18:18,347 --> 00:18:19,430
- In any military exercise,
- 121
- 00:18:19,515 --> 00:18:21,349
- you have to expect a certain measure of deviation.
- 122
- 00:18:21,433 --> 00:18:25,144
- A measure? A measure?
- What about total,
- complete, utter failure?
- 123
- 00:18:25,229 --> 00:18:27,438
- Gentlemen, I think it's time we face the fact
- 124
- 00:18:27,523 --> 00:18:31,025
- that the Allies are coming, sooner or later.
- 125
- 00:18:31,110 --> 00:18:33,611
- I say we sit back and let them wipe out the Nazis.
- 126
- 00:18:33,695 --> 00:18:35,446
- And ask every living soul in Europe
- 127
- 00:18:35,531 --> 00:18:36,906
- to pay the price? Use your head.
- 128
- 00:18:36,990 --> 00:18:38,950
- Carl, please. I'm sorry, Ludwig.
- 129
- 00:18:39,034 --> 00:18:40,618
- I've held my tongue too long.
- 130
- 00:18:40,702 --> 00:18:44,330
- We must confront Hitler now. Force him out!
- 131
- 00:18:44,414 --> 00:18:45,957
- And then what?
- 132
- 00:18:47,584 --> 00:18:49,252
- I beg your pardon?
- 133
- 00:18:50,003 --> 00:18:52,130
- When Hitler is gone, then what?
- 134
- 00:18:55,259 --> 00:18:56,801
- I'm sorry, who is this man?
- 135
- 00:18:56,885 --> 00:18:59,846
- Colonel Stauffenberg is Oster's replacement.
- 136
- 00:18:59,930 --> 00:19:03,432
- He's been transferred to my office at the War Ministry.
- 137
- 00:19:04,143 --> 00:19:05,893
- How's your uncle?
- 138
- 00:19:06,228 --> 00:19:07,812
- He's well, sir. He sends his regards.
- 139
- 00:19:07,896 --> 00:19:09,522
- He speaks very highly of you.
- 140
- 00:19:09,606 --> 00:19:11,315
- And of you, General.
- 141
- 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,776
- Of course, one of
- the things that made Oster
- such a great organizer
- 142
- 00:19:13,861 --> 00:19:16,154
- was that he kept his opinions to himself.
- 143
- 00:19:18,157 --> 00:19:21,868
- I'm simply asking what you intend to do when Hitler is gone.
- 144
- 00:19:21,952 --> 00:19:24,996
- You don't really believe
- you could just walk into
- the Reich Chancellery
- 145
- 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,331
- and command the army to end the war?
- 146
- 00:19:27,416 --> 00:19:28,916
- Yes. We do.
- 147
- 00:19:35,340 --> 00:19:38,843
- You are in the presence
- of men who would have been
- Hitler's inner circle.
- 148
- 00:19:38,927 --> 00:19:41,429
- Instead, we refused, Colonel.
- 149
- 00:19:41,513 --> 00:19:44,974
- The people know we put our principles above personal gain.
- 150
- 00:19:45,058 --> 00:19:48,477
- We have the respect of the people. And the army.
- 151
- 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:55,693
- Then you don't need me. Gentlemen.
- 152
- 00:19:59,364 --> 00:20:02,158
- Those men are confusing respect with popularity.
- 153
- 00:20:02,618 --> 00:20:07,330
- The army swore an oath,
- an oath that won't
- just die with Hitler.
- 154
- 00:20:07,414 --> 00:20:08,539
- What are you going to do?
- 155
- 00:20:08,624 --> 00:20:11,042
- How are you going to deal with Goebbels? Himmler? The SS?
- 156
- 00:20:11,126 --> 00:20:14,045
- They will wipe you out! It doesn't matter!
- 157
- 00:20:16,173 --> 00:20:20,009
- It only matters that we act, now, before we lose the war.
- 158
- 00:20:21,136 --> 00:20:24,305
- Otherwise, this will always be Hitler's Germany.
- 159
- 00:20:27,226 --> 00:20:31,145
- And we have to show
- the world that not all
- of us were like him.
- 160
- 00:20:31,772 --> 00:20:33,814
- That is not enough for me.
- 161
- 00:20:35,150 --> 00:20:37,693
- There has to be a chance of success.
- 162
- 00:20:39,238 --> 00:20:40,863
- Then find a way.
- 163
- 00:20:42,324 --> 00:20:43,616
- - Poppy!
- - Poppy!
- 164
- 00:20:44,076 --> 00:20:46,577
- Poppy's home! Poppy's home! Poppy's here! Poppy's here!
- 165
- 00:20:46,662 --> 00:20:47,828
- Mommy, he's here!
- 166
- 00:20:47,913 --> 00:20:50,623
- Mom, come down! Poppy's here!
- 167
- 00:21:01,009 --> 00:21:04,303
- I thought we agreed I'd come see you in Bamberg.
- 168
- 00:21:04,429 --> 00:21:07,515
- The children couldn't wait. The children?
- 169
- 00:21:49,558 --> 00:21:50,891
- Super!
- 170
- 00:23:37,666 --> 00:23:38,958
- Valkyrie.
- 171
- 00:23:39,626 --> 00:23:41,419
- We've already considered Valkyrie. It isn't suitable.
- 172
- 00:23:41,503 --> 00:23:43,629
- Not as it's currently written, but the Colonel has an idea
- 173
- 00:23:43,713 --> 00:23:44,922
- I think we should consider.
- 174
- 00:23:45,048 --> 00:23:46,257
- Excuse me. What is Valkyrie?
- 175
- 00:23:46,341 --> 00:23:47,925
- Operation Valkyrie.
- 176
- 00:23:48,009 --> 00:23:51,303
- The Reserve Army has thousands of men all over Berlin.
- 177
- 00:23:51,388 --> 00:23:53,931
- Valkyrie is Hitler's contingency plan
- 178
- 00:23:54,015 --> 00:23:56,559
- to mobilize those men during a national emergency.
- 179
- 00:23:56,643 --> 00:23:59,061
- The sole purpose of
- the order is to protect
- Hitler's government
- 180
- 00:23:59,146 --> 00:24:00,521
- if he's cut off or killed.
- 181
- 00:24:00,605 --> 00:24:02,273
- And what use is this to us?
- 182
- 00:24:02,357 --> 00:24:06,026
- Valkyrie is designed to contain civil unrest.
- 183
- 00:24:06,111 --> 00:24:08,863
- But what if the SS were staging a coup?
- 184
- 00:24:12,742 --> 00:24:15,911
- State Security is trying to overthrow Hitler.
- 185
- 00:24:16,037 --> 00:24:18,164
- How would High Command respond? We would have no choice.
- 186
- 00:24:18,248 --> 00:24:19,957
- We would declare a military state of emergency.
- 187
- 00:24:20,041 --> 00:24:21,750
- Exactly, and initiate Valkyrie.
- 188
- 00:24:21,835 --> 00:24:24,712
- Hitler's own Reserve Army, using Hitler's own plan,
- 189
- 00:24:24,796 --> 00:24:29,425
- will have no choice
- but to seize power in Berlin
- to prevent the SS takeover.
- 190
- 00:24:31,136 --> 00:24:34,180
- They'll think
- they're fighting for Hitler's
- government, not against it.
- 191
- 00:24:34,264 --> 00:24:37,558
- While we quietly put a new government in place.
- 192
- 00:24:38,977 --> 00:24:40,895
- But only if he's dead.
- 193
- 00:24:42,230 --> 00:24:43,814
- That's what you're saying, isn't it?
- 194
- 00:24:43,899 --> 00:24:47,401
- How else are you going
- to convince people the SS
- are trying to seize power?
- 195
- 00:24:47,486 --> 00:24:49,361
- We have to kill Hitler.
- 196
- 00:24:49,446 --> 00:24:51,280
- I'm disappointed in you, Colonel.
- 197
- 00:24:51,364 --> 00:24:52,781
- I thought a man of your background
- 198
- 00:24:52,866 --> 00:24:55,826
- would suggest a more honourable approach.
- 199
- 00:24:55,911 --> 00:24:59,538
- Your plan has a few minor obstacles, Colonel.
- 200
- 00:24:59,623 --> 00:25:03,000
- Firstly, Valkyrie
- would have to be rewritten
- to exclude the SS.
- 201
- 00:25:03,084 --> 00:25:05,836
- Then I'll need your help to get a copy.
- 202
- 00:25:06,755 --> 00:25:09,089
- Rewriting an order is one thing.
- 203
- 00:25:10,592 --> 00:25:12,843
- Distributing it is another.
- 204
- 00:25:12,928 --> 00:25:14,220
- In this case,
- 205
- 00:25:14,304 --> 00:25:17,848
- we'd be wilfully circulating written
- evidence of high treason.
- 206
- 00:25:17,933 --> 00:25:20,601
- Evidence requiring Hitler's signature.
- 207
- 00:25:26,316 --> 00:25:29,193
- Well, we can all draw straws for that job.
- 208
- 00:25:29,945 --> 00:25:31,111
- And what about Fromm?
- 209
- 00:25:31,238 --> 00:25:32,363
- Fromm? Who is Fromm?
- 210
- 00:25:32,447 --> 00:25:34,073
- He's the commander of the Reserve Army.
- 211
- 00:25:34,157 --> 00:25:35,866
- I can put the reserve troops on alert,
- 212
- 00:25:35,951 --> 00:25:38,452
- but only Fromm can initiate Valkyrie.
- 213
- 00:25:42,123 --> 00:25:43,874
- Can you get to him?
- 214
- 00:25:46,836 --> 00:25:50,297
- We're running out of time. Can you get to Fromm?
- 215
- 00:25:50,382 --> 00:25:51,590
- He's a careerist pig.
- 216
- 00:25:51,675 --> 00:25:54,260
- But one who's gone as far as he can go in Hitler's army.
- 217
- 00:25:54,344 --> 00:25:56,387
- It's no secret he's not happy about it.
- 218
- 00:25:56,471 --> 00:25:59,390
- Offer him a key position in the new regime.
- 219
- 00:26:00,141 --> 00:26:02,059
- Make him see the light.
- 220
- 00:26:10,318 --> 00:26:12,528
- Your office is through there.
- 221
- 00:26:16,199 --> 00:26:18,534
- I have Colonel Stauffenberg for General Fromm.
- 222
- 00:26:18,618 --> 00:26:19,702
- Colonel Stauffenberg, sir.
- 223
- 00:26:19,786 --> 00:26:21,453
- Welcome back to the War Ministry.
- 224
- 00:26:21,538 --> 00:26:22,663
- It's an honour, sir.
- 225
- 00:26:22,747 --> 00:26:24,748
- You're an old woman, Fromm!
- 226
- 00:26:24,833 --> 00:26:26,083
- I'd send you to the front
- 227
- 00:26:26,167 --> 00:26:27,585
- if I didn't think you'd surrender
- 228
- 00:26:27,669 --> 00:26:30,045
- just to be Montgomery's whore!
- 229
- 00:26:35,719 --> 00:26:36,844
- The General will see you now.
- 230
- 00:26:52,360 --> 00:26:54,194
- What is it you want?
- 231
- 00:26:54,779 --> 00:26:58,365
- I wanted to introduce our new man, Colonel Stauffenberg.
- 232
- 00:27:00,535 --> 00:27:02,369
- Ah! From Africa.
- 233
- 00:27:03,163 --> 00:27:06,832
- I... I'd offer you my hand, but I might not get it back.
- 234
- 00:27:08,460 --> 00:27:12,463
- I'd say the General
- has lost more important
- things this morning.
- 235
- 00:27:19,137 --> 00:27:21,889
- It's about time
- they put somebody with
- balls into this office.
- 236
- 00:27:21,973 --> 00:27:23,724
- Please, sit down, Colonel.
- 237
- 00:27:23,892 --> 00:27:25,643
- And you, Olbricht, if you must.
- 238
- 00:27:38,740 --> 00:27:40,991
- They tell me you're critical of the war, Colonel,
- 239
- 00:27:41,076 --> 00:27:43,619
- not that you don't seem to have good reason.
- 240
- 00:27:43,703 --> 00:27:45,663
- I am critical of indecision, General.
- 241
- 00:27:45,747 --> 00:27:47,748
- In the field? In Berlin.
- 242
- 00:27:50,418 --> 00:27:53,170
- So that's why you're here, I take it, to...
- 243
- 00:27:53,254 --> 00:27:54,421
- To make decisions.
- 244
- 00:27:54,506 --> 00:27:56,256
- I've already made my decision.
- 245
- 00:27:56,341 --> 00:27:58,926
- I'm here to help others make theirs.
- 246
- 00:28:03,431 --> 00:28:06,225
- They say when there's no clear option,
- 247
- 00:28:07,394 --> 00:28:08,811
- the best thing is to do nothing.
- 248
- 00:28:08,895 --> 00:28:12,106
- We're at war. We must act.
- 249
- 00:28:12,190 --> 00:28:14,108
- Sometimes rashly.
- 250
- 00:28:16,319 --> 00:28:19,613
- And what rash action did you have in mind, Colonel?
- 251
- 00:28:20,990 --> 00:28:25,953
- That would be a decision
- for the supreme military
- commander, sir.
- 252
- 00:28:26,746 --> 00:28:28,539
- A supreme commander.
- 253
- 00:28:31,626 --> 00:28:33,877
- Second only to the Chancellor.
- 254
- 00:28:39,467 --> 00:28:41,260
- If I were that man,
- 255
- 00:28:43,638 --> 00:28:46,515
- this war would be going quite differently.
- 256
- 00:28:46,975 --> 00:28:49,601
- Well, we were thinking the same thing.
- 257
- 00:28:58,319 --> 00:29:01,238
- I don't need to remind you
- 258
- 00:29:02,907 --> 00:29:05,659
- that we've all sworn an oath
- 259
- 00:29:08,204 --> 00:29:09,747
- to the Führer.
- 260
- 00:29:17,172 --> 00:29:20,591
- Having said that,
- I'm going to forget this
- conversation ever took place,
- 261
- 00:29:20,675 --> 00:29:22,092
- in the strict understanding
- 262
- 00:29:22,177 --> 00:29:25,012
- that such talk never occurs again under this roof.
- 263
- 00:29:25,096 --> 00:29:26,722
- Is that clear? Yes, sir.
- 264
- 00:29:26,806 --> 00:29:28,599
- Now, you can tell your friends, Colonel,
- 265
- 00:29:28,683 --> 00:29:31,268
- that I always come down on the right side.
- 266
- 00:29:31,352 --> 00:29:36,148
- And as long as
- the Führer is alive,
- you know what side that is.
- 267
- 00:29:44,449 --> 00:29:45,741
- Heil Hitler.
- 268
- 00:29:45,825 --> 00:29:47,868
- Heil Hitler. Heil Hitler.
- 269
- 00:30:19,442 --> 00:30:22,736
- Of course! Yes! Very good guess!
- 270
- 00:30:46,511 --> 00:30:49,471
- You realize how close I am to Hitler.
- 271
- 00:30:49,556 --> 00:30:52,266
- With one word I can make you disappear.
- 272
- 00:30:53,351 --> 00:30:55,018
- My associates don't know we've been talking,
- 273
- 00:30:55,103 --> 00:30:56,144
- if that's what you're afraid of.
- 274
- 00:30:56,229 --> 00:30:57,187
- When the SS catch you,
- 275
- 00:30:57,272 --> 00:31:00,607
- they will pull you apart like warm bread.
- 276
- 00:31:00,692 --> 00:31:03,652
- It will be a crime just to have known you then.
- 277
- 00:31:03,736 --> 00:31:07,197
- I warn you, don't try to contact me again.
- 278
- 00:31:07,282 --> 00:31:08,782
- You won't report me.
- 279
- 00:31:08,867 --> 00:31:11,368
- Maybe if you had when I first approached you,
- 280
- 00:31:11,452 --> 00:31:14,830
- you might have been keeping your oath.
- 281
- 00:31:14,914 --> 00:31:16,373
- Now you're just as guilty as the rest of us.
- 282
- 00:31:16,457 --> 00:31:18,792
- And you think that makes me a sympathizer, hey?
- 283
- 00:31:18,877 --> 00:31:21,503
- Give a man a choice of
- betraying his fellow
- officer or his Führer
- 284
- 00:31:21,588 --> 00:31:24,089
- and you think his actions will show you his heart.
- 285
- 00:31:24,173 --> 00:31:27,092
- It is not that simple. Yes. Yes, it is.
- 286
- 00:31:27,176 --> 00:31:30,888
- For the last time, don't push me to make a decision.
- 287
- 00:31:30,972 --> 00:31:33,640
- I don't have a choice. It's clear now.
- 288
- 00:31:35,602 --> 00:31:38,437
- Without you, there is no hope of success.
- 289
- 00:31:39,022 --> 00:31:41,523
- You're nothing but rats jumping from a sinking ship!
- 290
- 00:31:41,608 --> 00:31:43,942
- What makes you think you'll be any different?
- 291
- 00:31:44,027 --> 00:31:46,570
- What makes you think
- you're stronger than
- the people, the Reich?
- 292
- 00:31:46,654 --> 00:31:48,238
- The very momentum of history!
- 293
- 00:31:48,323 --> 00:31:49,573
- This is going to happen.
- 294
- 00:31:49,657 --> 00:31:53,118
- Action is inevitable, as are the consequences.
- 295
- 00:31:53,202 --> 00:31:54,703
- When they come for me, I'll do everything I can
- 296
- 00:31:54,787 --> 00:31:56,371
- to hide what you knew and when you knew it,
- 297
- 00:31:56,456 --> 00:31:58,165
- but don't delude yourself.
- 298
- 00:31:58,249 --> 00:32:00,292
- You were involved in a crime against your country
- 299
- 00:32:00,376 --> 00:32:02,294
- long before you met me.
- 300
- 00:32:04,505 --> 00:32:07,382
- There may still be time to redeem yourself.
- 301
- 00:32:10,929 --> 00:32:13,013
- Only God can judge us now.
- 302
- 00:32:20,021 --> 00:32:21,939
- Hitler had Operation Valkyrie designed
- 303
- 00:32:22,023 --> 00:32:24,775
- to completely secure his government in six hours.
- 304
- 00:32:24,859 --> 00:32:29,488
- I'm rewriting the order
- so we can seize control
- of the government in three.
- 305
- 00:32:29,572 --> 00:32:31,239
- As written, the order spreads reserve troops
- 306
- 00:32:31,324 --> 00:32:33,742
- across all of Germany's 19 military districts,
- 307
- 00:32:33,826 --> 00:32:37,871
- including occupied cities like Paris, Vienna and Prague.
- 308
- 00:32:38,289 --> 00:32:39,665
- This is a waste of resources.
- 309
- 00:32:39,749 --> 00:32:43,627
- Since all of these districts
- follow orders from Berlin
- without question,
- 310
- 00:32:43,711 --> 00:32:46,129
- you take Berlin, you take Germany.
- 311
- 00:32:47,507 --> 00:32:49,132
- I'm rewriting Valkyrie
- 312
- 00:32:49,217 --> 00:32:50,842
- to direct the majority of our strongest units
- 313
- 00:32:50,927 --> 00:32:53,095
- to focus entirely on Berlin.
- 314
- 00:32:54,389 --> 00:32:55,722
- We'll surround the government quarter,
- 315
- 00:32:55,807 --> 00:32:57,891
- occupy all SS and police barracks.
- 316
- 00:32:57,976 --> 00:32:59,601
- Once we have control of the government,
- 317
- 00:32:59,686 --> 00:33:02,396
- we'll shut down all concentration camps.
- 318
- 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,148
- Any officers who resist will be arrested or shot.
- 319
- 00:33:05,233 --> 00:33:07,734
- I've been transferred to the front.
- 320
- 00:33:11,155 --> 00:33:12,572
- Anyway, it doesn't matter.
- 321
- 00:33:12,657 --> 00:33:15,492
- You know these orders better than anyone.
- 322
- 00:33:15,576 --> 00:33:19,162
- That's why I'm putting you
- in charge of the military
- wing of the operation.
- 323
- 00:33:19,247 --> 00:33:20,372
- Beck agrees.
- 324
- 00:33:20,456 --> 00:33:21,540
- Why not Olbricht?
- 325
- 00:33:21,624 --> 00:33:24,710
- No. It's your plan. It's you.
- 326
- 00:33:25,795 --> 00:33:27,921
- One more thing. You need to be absolutely certain
- 327
- 00:33:28,006 --> 00:33:30,007
- no conflicting orders get out after the flash.
- 328
- 00:33:30,091 --> 00:33:32,592
- It is not enough to kill Hitler.
- 329
- 00:33:32,677 --> 00:33:34,428
- We need to isolate his chain of command
- 330
- 00:33:34,512 --> 00:33:37,055
- and cut them off from the outside world immediately.
- 331
- 00:33:37,140 --> 00:33:40,017
- Yes, I've already considered that.
- 332
- 00:33:40,101 --> 00:33:41,893
- I think I have just the man who can help.
- 333
- 00:33:41,978 --> 00:33:43,812
- Who is he?
- 334
- 00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:46,314
- Perhaps it's better I don't say.
- 335
- 00:33:50,445 --> 00:33:53,238
- You know, God promised Abraham he would not destroy Sodom
- 336
- 00:33:53,322 --> 00:33:56,700
- if he could find just 10 righteous men.
- 337
- 00:33:56,784 --> 00:34:00,537
- I have a feeling that, for Germany, it may come down to one.
- 338
- 00:34:07,003 --> 00:34:08,462
- Let's begin.
- 339
- 00:34:09,464 --> 00:34:12,257
- "The Führer, Adolf Hitler,
- 340
- 00:34:15,219 --> 00:34:16,595
- "is dead."
- 341
- 00:34:23,644 --> 00:34:25,479
- Heil Hitler, General.
- 342
- 00:34:28,441 --> 00:34:31,943
- Would you excuse us, please? Thank you.
- 343
- 00:34:38,993 --> 00:34:42,245
- You play the part of bureaucrat beautifully.
- 344
- 00:34:42,330 --> 00:34:43,914
- It's the only time I get to relax.
- 345
- 00:34:43,998 --> 00:34:47,542
- You've been promoted Chief of Staff for the Reserve Army.
- 346
- 00:34:48,628 --> 00:34:50,754
- Excuse me? Congratulations.
- 347
- 00:34:53,257 --> 00:34:55,967
- I am busy with other things. Unfortunately,
- 348
- 00:34:56,052 --> 00:34:59,596
- your nocturnal activities
- don't count as service
- to the Reich.
- 349
- 00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:00,806
- I'll refuse the promotion.
- 350
- 00:35:00,890 --> 00:35:03,016
- You'll do no such thing.
- 351
- 00:35:03,101 --> 00:35:05,685
- Tresckow may have left you in charge of the operation,
- 352
- 00:35:05,770 --> 00:35:07,604
- but in this world I still outrank you.
- 353
- 00:35:07,688 --> 00:35:10,107
- You will accept the promotion.
- 354
- 00:35:10,191 --> 00:35:12,150
- You'll have real access to Hitler,
- 355
- 00:35:12,235 --> 00:35:15,362
- his advisers, his schedule. We need this.
- 356
- 00:35:18,116 --> 00:35:21,034
- I've looked through your changes to Valkyrie.
- 357
- 00:35:21,702 --> 00:35:23,161
- I approve.
- 358
- 00:35:23,246 --> 00:35:24,830
- I'll need you to get Hitler to sign it.
- 359
- 00:35:29,544 --> 00:35:32,712
- Now. There's a man here to interview as your adjutant.
- 360
- 00:35:32,797 --> 00:35:34,965
- He comes highly recommended.
- 361
- 00:35:41,722 --> 00:35:43,306
- Close the door.
- 362
- 00:35:47,645 --> 00:35:49,020
- Be seated.
- 363
- 00:35:52,817 --> 00:35:55,819
- Do you know how this war will end, Lieutenant?
- 364
- 00:35:56,612 --> 00:35:58,780
- The portrait will be unhung,
- 365
- 00:36:00,074 --> 00:36:02,075
- and the man will be hung.
- 366
- 00:36:09,709 --> 00:36:12,794
- I'm engaged in high treason with all means available to me.
- 367
- 00:36:12,879 --> 00:36:14,629
- Can I count you in?
- 368
- 00:36:22,388 --> 00:36:25,098
- For anything, sir. Anything at all.
- 369
- 00:37:25,993 --> 00:37:27,661
- Come. Come, come.
- 370
- 00:37:35,211 --> 00:37:37,212
- Colonel Brandt, Operations.
- 371
- 00:37:37,296 --> 00:37:42,259
- Colonel Stauffenberg, I'd like to review
- your presentation to the Führer.
- 372
- 00:37:42,343 --> 00:37:43,385
- Strictly routine.
- 373
- 00:37:43,469 --> 00:37:44,761
- Sir, the contents of the Colonel's bag
- 374
- 00:37:44,845 --> 00:37:45,929
- are for the Führer's eyes only.
- 375
- 00:37:46,013 --> 00:37:48,056
- I am the Führer's eyes, Lieutenant.
- 376
- 00:37:48,140 --> 00:37:50,225
- The Colonel is a member of my staff at the War Ministry.
- 377
- 00:37:50,309 --> 00:37:52,352
- He doesn't answer to you.
- 378
- 00:37:54,563 --> 00:37:57,816
- They're waiting. This way.
- 379
- 00:38:34,270 --> 00:38:37,147
- My Führer. May I present Colonel Stauffenberg,
- 380
- 00:38:37,231 --> 00:38:40,150
- our new chief of staff for the Reserve Army.
- 381
- 00:38:40,943 --> 00:38:42,569
- Heil, my Führer.
- 382
- 00:38:47,742 --> 00:38:50,452
- May I say what an honour it is to meet an officer
- 383
- 00:38:50,536 --> 00:38:55,248
- who has sacrificed so much for Germany.
- 384
- 00:39:01,589 --> 00:39:04,215
- If only more of my men were like you.
- 385
- 00:39:05,926 --> 00:39:08,219
- Let this man stand as an example to all of you.
- 386
- 00:39:08,304 --> 00:39:11,097
- He is the ideal German officer.
- 387
- 00:39:13,476 --> 00:39:17,354
- My Führer.
- Colonel Stauffenberg was
- asked to come here today
- 388
- 00:39:17,438 --> 00:39:21,483
- to brief us on mobilizing troops of the Reserve Army to...
- 389
- 00:39:21,567 --> 00:39:23,443
- To repel the invasion.
- 390
- 00:39:25,071 --> 00:39:26,363
- Invasion?
- 391
- 00:39:27,907 --> 00:39:30,450
- At Normandy, my Führer.
- 392
- 00:39:32,453 --> 00:39:33,745
- Oh, yes.
- 393
- 00:39:35,456 --> 00:39:36,748
- Normandy.
- 394
- 00:39:38,125 --> 00:39:40,043
- That will not be necessary.
- 395
- 00:39:41,379 --> 00:39:46,174
- Reichsmarschall Göring assures me that
- everything is completely under control.
- 396
- 00:39:48,969 --> 00:39:50,720
- Thank you, Colonel.
- 397
- 00:39:54,642 --> 00:39:56,893
- My Führer, if I may.
- 398
- 00:39:56,977 --> 00:40:00,939
- I have an amended copy of Operation Valkyrie
- for your approval.
- 399
- 00:40:52,241 --> 00:40:54,534
- You know your Wagner, Colonel?
- 400
- 00:41:00,916 --> 00:41:05,378
- The Valkyrie. Handmaidens of the Gods,
- 401
- 00:41:05,463 --> 00:41:10,550
- choosing who will live
- and who will die,
- sparing the most heroic
- 402
- 00:41:12,219 --> 00:41:14,387
- from an agonizing death.
- 403
- 00:41:19,977 --> 00:41:22,729
- One cannot understand National Socialism
- 404
- 00:41:24,648 --> 00:41:27,108
- if one does not understand Wagner.
- 405
- 00:41:43,626 --> 00:41:47,128
- I'm sure whatever changes you've made are for the best.
- 406
- 00:41:52,176 --> 00:41:55,386
- You're dismissed. Send your man home. And, Fromm?
- 407
- 00:41:56,305 --> 00:41:59,098
- Have some fresh tea brought in, will you?
- 408
- 00:42:10,736 --> 00:42:14,364
- I don't know what you're brewing up,
- and I don't want to know.
- 409
- 00:42:14,448 --> 00:42:16,241
- But when the music stops,
- 410
- 00:42:16,325 --> 00:42:19,827
- I'd be obliged if Keitel found himself without a chair.
- 411
- 00:42:33,050 --> 00:42:35,343
- Any problem on Earth can be solved
- 412
- 00:42:35,427 --> 00:42:38,721
- with the careful application of high explosives.
- 413
- 00:42:38,806 --> 00:42:42,183
- The trick is not to be around when they go off.
- 414
- 00:42:42,268 --> 00:42:45,228
- Two 975-gram packs of Plastit W.
- 415
- 00:42:45,312 --> 00:42:47,730
- Enough explosive to cripple a panzer.
- 416
- 00:42:47,815 --> 00:42:51,484
- Your detonators, your fuses. British time pencils.
- 417
- 00:42:52,278 --> 00:42:55,613
- This acid capsule is your trigger.
- When you're ready to arm,
- 418
- 00:42:55,698 --> 00:43:00,577
- attach the detonator to the bottom of
- the time pencil, like so,
- 419
- 00:43:00,661 --> 00:43:04,497
- insert the entire device into either end of the Plastit W,
- 420
- 00:43:04,582 --> 00:43:08,668
- crush the acid capsule, and you're live.
- 421
- 00:43:10,379 --> 00:43:14,924
- When the acid
- eats through the wire
- holding back the firing pin,
- 422
- 00:43:15,009 --> 00:43:17,677
- well, you'll want to be very far away.
- 423
- 00:43:20,931 --> 00:43:22,181
- For you.
- 424
- 00:43:22,891 --> 00:43:23,975
- How much time will we have?
- 425
- 00:43:24,059 --> 00:43:25,768
- Theoretically there's a 30-minute delay,
- 426
- 00:43:25,853 --> 00:43:28,271
- but with the kind of heat you can expect at the Wolf's Lair,
- 427
- 00:43:28,355 --> 00:43:30,523
- I'd give you 10, 15 minutes, tops.
- 428
- 00:43:30,608 --> 00:43:32,483
- That's hardly precise.
- 429
- 00:43:32,568 --> 00:43:36,029
- This is state-of-the-art.
- You can have small
- or precise, not both.
- 430
- 00:43:36,113 --> 00:43:38,281
- Might this just be a little too small?
- 431
- 00:43:38,365 --> 00:43:41,743
- No. Hitler's bunker will magnify the blast.
- 432
- 00:43:41,827 --> 00:43:45,788
- It is constructed of reinforced concrete.
- Steel door, no windows.
- 433
- 00:43:45,873 --> 00:43:49,208
- The air pressure generated by just one of these
- explosives in a space like that
- 434
- 00:43:49,293 --> 00:43:51,044
- will kill everyone instantly.
- 435
- 00:43:51,128 --> 00:43:53,379
- The second charge will be entirely redundant.
- 436
- 00:43:53,464 --> 00:43:57,300
- Lf, by some miracle, Hitler does survive, what then?
- 437
- 00:43:57,384 --> 00:43:59,719
- We still initiate Valkyrie.
- 438
- 00:43:59,803 --> 00:44:02,138
- At that point, there will be no turning back.
- 439
- 00:44:02,222 --> 00:44:04,390
- But we'll have an advantage.
- 440
- 00:44:05,726 --> 00:44:08,144
- We have an inside man at the Wolf's Lair.
- 441
- 00:44:08,228 --> 00:44:11,105
- After the flash, he'll cut off communication
- with the outside world.
- 442
- 00:44:11,190 --> 00:44:13,483
- While Hitler's inner circle is struggling to regroup,
- 443
- 00:44:13,567 --> 00:44:17,278
- we'll have the momentum we need to seize control in Berlin.
- 444
- 00:44:18,322 --> 00:44:20,573
- Himmler is expected to be at the meeting as well.
- 445
- 00:44:20,658 --> 00:44:23,493
- Don't proceed unless you can get them both.
- 446
- 00:44:23,577 --> 00:44:25,078
- What?
- 447
- 00:44:25,162 --> 00:44:29,707
- Don't proceed unless you're confident you can get
- both Himmler and Hitler.
- 448
- 00:44:35,923 --> 00:44:38,091
- This is Goerdeler, isn't it?
- 449
- 00:44:42,096 --> 00:44:44,847
- I'll hold off, if the decision is unanimous,
- 450
- 00:44:44,932 --> 00:44:48,893
- but I want another man on the committee. Not a politician.
- 451
- 00:44:48,977 --> 00:44:51,270
- Who? Him.
- 452
- 00:44:52,356 --> 00:44:54,232
- - Him?
- - Him.
- 453
- 00:44:55,150 --> 00:44:56,275
- Fine.
- 454
- 00:44:57,569 --> 00:45:00,822
- But remember, this is a military operation.
- 455
- 00:45:01,615 --> 00:45:04,450
- Nothing ever goes according to plan.
- 456
- 00:45:33,981 --> 00:45:36,441
- I'll take the children to Bamberg.
- 457
- 00:45:43,490 --> 00:45:44,824
- If I fail,
- 458
- 00:45:48,495 --> 00:45:50,329
- they'll come for you.
- 459
- 00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:53,458
- All of you.
- 460
- 00:45:57,337 --> 00:45:58,546
- I know.
- 461
- 00:46:25,574 --> 00:46:27,283
- Gentlemen. Good morning.
- 462
- 00:46:27,367 --> 00:46:31,287
- Hitler has scheduled a military briefing for today at 1:00.
- 463
- 00:46:31,371 --> 00:46:33,873
- Stauffenberg will start once everyone is present.
- 464
- 00:46:34,333 --> 00:46:36,709
- They're here. Before arming the explosives,
- 465
- 00:46:36,794 --> 00:46:39,670
- Stauffenberg will call for authorization to proceed.
- 466
- 00:46:39,755 --> 00:46:41,964
- After the flash, his inside man
- 467
- 00:46:42,049 --> 00:46:44,634
- will sever all communications.
- 468
- 00:46:44,718 --> 00:46:47,220
- Assuming Fromm refuses to join us,
- 469
- 00:46:47,304 --> 00:46:49,472
- Olbricht would take command of the Reserve Army
- 470
- 00:46:49,556 --> 00:46:51,474
- and initiate Valkyrie. Initiate Valkyrie.
- 471
- 00:46:51,558 --> 00:46:53,226
- Then he'll notify all district commanders
- 472
- 00:46:53,310 --> 00:46:55,895
- that the SS is attempting to seize power.
- 473
- 00:46:55,979 --> 00:47:00,399
- The Reserve Army
- will arrest all SS, Gestapo
- and Nazi officials.
- 474
- 00:47:00,484 --> 00:47:02,652
- By then, Stauffenberg will have returned to Berlin
- 475
- 00:47:02,736 --> 00:47:05,154
- and taken command of the Reserve Army.
- 476
- 00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:08,908
- Witzleben and I will assume
- the roles of commander of
- the armed forces
- 477
- 00:47:08,992 --> 00:47:10,493
- and head of state.
- 478
- 00:47:10,577 --> 00:47:11,744
- With Berlin secured,
- 479
- 00:47:11,829 --> 00:47:14,872
- Dr. Goerdeler will address the nation as our new chancellor.
- 480
- 00:47:15,457 --> 00:47:17,792
- Then, God willing,
- 481
- 00:47:17,876 --> 00:47:20,044
- we can negotiate a truce with the Allies
- 482
- 00:47:20,128 --> 00:47:22,755
- and save Europe from total destruction.
- 483
- 00:47:25,050 --> 00:47:28,010
- This will identify you as a member of the operation.
- 484
- 00:47:28,095 --> 00:47:31,389
- Nobody gets in or out of the perimeter without one.
- 485
- 00:47:33,058 --> 00:47:36,978
- Gentlemen, this is the most important day of your lives.
- 486
- 00:47:40,107 --> 00:47:42,149
- Long live sacred Germany.
- 487
- 00:48:19,521 --> 00:48:21,230
- Captain. What is it?
- 488
- 00:48:21,315 --> 00:48:22,982
- An order from General Olbricht's office.
- 489
- 00:48:23,066 --> 00:48:25,610
- It's calling
- the Reserve Army for
- some sort of standby action
- 490
- 00:48:25,694 --> 00:48:29,322
- in all the military districts, including Berlin.
- 491
- 00:48:29,406 --> 00:48:32,158
- Looks like a drill of some kind. Send it through, Sergeant.
- 492
- 00:48:52,387 --> 00:48:53,512
- Sir?
- 493
- 00:48:59,353 --> 00:49:02,897
- "Standby action"? What the hell for?
- 494
- 00:49:02,981 --> 00:49:04,357
- The order doesn't say.
- 495
- 00:49:05,859 --> 00:49:09,111
- Assemble the men. This better not be a drill.
- 496
- 00:50:51,131 --> 00:50:54,341
- The men are assembled and awaiting further orders.
- 497
- 00:50:54,426 --> 00:50:57,386
- What do you suppose this is really all about?
- 498
- 00:53:19,446 --> 00:53:20,738
- Your man?
- 499
- 00:53:32,042 --> 00:53:33,417
- He is now.
- 500
- 00:54:52,914 --> 00:54:54,206
- Colonel.
- 501
- 00:55:06,386 --> 00:55:07,761
- Attention!
- 502
- 00:55:19,733 --> 00:55:23,319
- Gentlemen. For our first order of business,
- 503
- 00:55:23,403 --> 00:55:25,946
- General Fromm will present his plans
- 504
- 00:55:26,031 --> 00:55:29,825
- for the reallocation of troops
- from the Reserve Army
- on the eastern front.
- 505
- 00:55:29,909 --> 00:55:32,870
- Now, as you know,
- last night the Russians
- launched a new offensive
- 506
- 00:55:32,954 --> 00:55:36,999
- against Army Group
- North Ukraine in
- the South Poland section.
- 507
- 00:55:37,083 --> 00:55:40,210
- General Harpe was brought in to replace Model
- 508
- 00:55:40,295 --> 00:55:43,005
- and bring a swift end to this confrontation.
- 509
- 00:55:43,089 --> 00:55:44,423
- Himmler is not here.
- 510
- 00:55:44,507 --> 00:55:45,799
- Hence the transfer of three divisions
- 511
- 00:55:45,884 --> 00:55:50,471
- to fortify General Harpe's troops.
- 512
- 00:55:51,139 --> 00:55:55,684
- Now, these divisions will stick to a mobile defence plan
- 513
- 00:55:55,769 --> 00:55:58,062
- rather than holding any one particular...
- 514
- 00:56:03,193 --> 00:56:06,320
- Yes, sir. I'll put that right through. Connecting now.
- 515
- 00:56:06,446 --> 00:56:08,447
- Operator. Direct me to the War Ministry.
- 516
- 00:56:08,531 --> 00:56:10,199
- General Olbricht's office. One moment, please.
- 517
- 00:56:10,283 --> 00:56:12,326
- Yes, sir. Connecting now.
- 518
- 00:56:16,206 --> 00:56:17,289
- General Olbricht's office.
- 519
- 00:56:17,415 --> 00:56:18,457
- Himmler's not in the briefing.
- 520
- 00:56:18,541 --> 00:56:20,167
- I'm ready to arm. Permission to proceed.
- 521
- 00:56:20,460 --> 00:56:22,211
- Hold the line.
- 522
- 00:56:22,295 --> 00:56:26,173
- Stauffenberg says Himmler's not at the briefing.
- He wants to proceed.
- 523
- 00:56:26,257 --> 00:56:27,591
- Call Beck.
- 524
- 00:56:30,387 --> 00:56:31,387
- Beck.
- 525
- 00:56:31,471 --> 00:56:33,055
- Himmler is not at the briefing.
- 526
- 00:56:34,516 --> 00:56:36,809
- Himmler's not at the briefing.
- 527
- 00:56:46,736 --> 00:56:49,071
- Already diminished reserves.
- 528
- 00:56:51,991 --> 00:56:53,075
- No.
- 529
- 00:56:57,247 --> 00:56:58,414
- They say no.
- 530
- 00:57:01,835 --> 00:57:03,502
- What do you say?
- 531
- 00:57:08,341 --> 00:57:09,758
- I say do it.
- 532
- 00:57:10,635 --> 00:57:12,010
- Attention!
- 533
- 00:57:47,046 --> 00:57:50,591
- Whatever it was, Colonel, I hope it was important.
- 534
- 00:57:52,927 --> 00:57:55,512
- Colonel? Your bag.
- 535
- 00:58:20,038 --> 00:58:23,582
- This has been a drill! You're dismissed!
- 536
- 00:58:27,587 --> 00:58:30,964
- How dare you put
- the Reserve Army on standby
- without my knowledge?
- 537
- 00:58:31,049 --> 00:58:32,674
- Damn near cost me my commission.
- 538
- 00:58:32,759 --> 00:58:35,385
- And what in God's name
- made you think you even
- had the authority?
- 539
- 00:58:35,470 --> 00:58:36,887
- It was only a drill, an exercise.
- 540
- 00:58:36,971 --> 00:58:39,765
- Oh, don't lie, Olbricht! Not to me.
- 541
- 00:58:40,433 --> 00:58:41,892
- We both know it wasn't a drill.
- 542
- 00:58:41,976 --> 00:58:43,018
- General, if I may...
- 543
- 00:58:43,102 --> 00:58:44,478
- No, you may not, Colonel.
- 544
- 00:58:44,562 --> 00:58:46,188
- You may not do anything.
- 545
- 00:58:46,272 --> 00:58:48,357
- Because not only have you proved to me you can't deliver,
- 546
- 00:58:48,441 --> 00:58:51,109
- you've painted a target on my back.
- 547
- 00:58:51,194 --> 00:58:55,155
- If I so much as
- sense you trying to move
- the Reserve Army again,
- 548
- 00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:58,075
- I will personally have you both arrested.
- 549
- 00:59:00,286 --> 00:59:03,163
- Do I make myself abundantly clear?
- 550
- 00:59:03,248 --> 00:59:05,040
- Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
- 551
- 00:59:09,462 --> 00:59:11,505
- Heil Hitler. Heil Hitler.
- 552
- 00:59:13,633 --> 00:59:15,926
- I'll hear you say it, Colonel.
- 553
- 00:59:25,103 --> 00:59:26,520
- Heil Hitler!
- 554
- 00:59:37,282 --> 00:59:40,576
- The point of replacing Hitler
- is to negotiate a truce
- with the Allies.
- 555
- 00:59:40,660 --> 00:59:43,078
- The Allies, I suspect, would be more amenable to a truce
- 556
- 00:59:43,162 --> 00:59:46,206
- if we offer it to them before they get to fucking Berlin!
- 557
- 00:59:46,291 --> 00:59:49,668
- There's no point
- in killing Hitler unless
- you kill Himmler, too.
- 558
- 00:59:49,752 --> 00:59:52,254
- Why remove a madman just to have a lunatic take his place?
- 559
- 00:59:52,338 --> 00:59:55,090
- Today's failure had nothing
- to do with Himmler,
- and you know it.
- 560
- 00:59:55,174 --> 00:59:58,802
- This is a military operation
- in the hands of a politician,
- nothing more.
- 561
- 00:59:58,928 --> 01:00:01,221
- What are you suggesting? I'm not suggesting anything.
- 562
- 01:00:01,306 --> 01:00:03,307
- I'm stating the facts as I see them.
- 563
- 01:00:03,391 --> 01:00:04,850
- You don't have the courage to kill Hitler,
- 564
- 01:00:04,934 --> 01:00:06,351
- so you are making the task impossible.
- 565
- 01:00:06,436 --> 01:00:09,563
- Nothing seemed to stop
- you and your henchman
- from trying it on your own.
- 566
- 01:00:09,647 --> 01:00:11,815
- My only regret is
- that I waited for you
- to find your backbone.
- 567
- 01:00:11,899 --> 01:00:14,985
- I don't think
- I'm alone when I say
- your judgement is in question.
- 568
- 01:00:15,069 --> 01:00:16,987
- I'd like to call a vote. Carl.
- 569
- 01:00:17,071 --> 01:00:20,407
- I propose that we relieve Colonel Stauffenberg.
- 570
- 01:00:21,951 --> 01:00:24,620
- Carl, can I have a word with you in private?
- 571
- 01:00:24,704 --> 01:00:27,623
- No, Ludwig. If you've got something to say, say it.
- 572
- 01:00:27,707 --> 01:00:31,126
- Very well. I heard from the Chief of Police this evening
- 573
- 01:00:31,210 --> 01:00:34,463
- that Himmler has issued a warrant for your arrest.
- 574
- 01:00:37,258 --> 01:00:39,801
- You have to leave Germany tonight.
- 575
- 01:00:39,886 --> 01:00:42,929
- When we succeed with the central solution,
- 576
- 01:00:43,014 --> 01:00:45,474
- you'll return as chancellor.
- 577
- 01:00:45,558 --> 01:00:49,311
- Disappear, Carl. Avoid contact with anyone.
- 578
- 01:01:04,535 --> 01:01:06,286
- Good luck, Colonel.
- 579
- 01:01:13,086 --> 01:01:14,961
- No more indecision.
- 580
- 01:01:15,046 --> 01:01:17,631
- From now on, Stauffenberg has full discretion.
- 581
- 01:01:17,715 --> 01:01:20,842
- I can't issue the alert again unless we follow through.
- 582
- 01:01:20,927 --> 01:01:24,179
- I'll do my job. You just take Berlin.
- 583
- 01:01:31,854 --> 01:01:32,896
- Hold on, sir.
- 584
- 01:01:32,980 --> 01:01:34,314
- I'll try to connect you right now.
- 585
- 01:01:34,399 --> 01:01:35,774
- Thank you.
- 586
- 01:01:35,858 --> 01:01:37,442
- Hello Hello?
- 587
- 01:01:38,861 --> 01:01:40,070
- Hello?
- 588
- 01:01:43,116 --> 01:01:44,282
- Hello?
- 589
- 01:01:45,952 --> 01:01:50,205
- I'm sorry, sir.
- There is bombing in Ebingen.
- We've been disconnected.
- 590
- 01:01:51,457 --> 01:01:53,250
- Ebingen is a long way from Bamberg.
- 591
- 01:01:53,376 --> 01:01:55,210
- I'm sure your family is safe.
- 592
- 01:01:55,294 --> 01:01:56,628
- Thank you.
- 593
- 01:03:35,561 --> 01:03:37,145
- Welcome, Colonel.
- 594
- 01:03:37,230 --> 01:03:40,398
- Do you have a place where I could change, Major?
- 595
- 01:03:41,108 --> 01:03:42,734
- Please follow me.
- 596
- 01:03:49,867 --> 01:03:52,077
- At least put the Reserve Army on standby alert.
- 597
- 01:03:52,161 --> 01:03:54,162
- Not until I've heard from Stauffenberg. Not until I'm sure.
- 598
- 01:03:54,247 --> 01:03:57,707
- But that's not what he... Noted, Colonel. Thank you.
- 599
- 01:04:09,595 --> 01:04:12,180
- The meeting has been moved up to 12:30.
- 600
- 01:04:12,265 --> 01:04:15,141
- Mussolini is arriving on the afternoon train.
- 601
- 01:04:15,226 --> 01:04:17,519
- The Führer wants to have lunch with him. Yes, sir.
- 602
- 01:04:17,603 --> 01:04:21,022
- Will Mussolini be joining us in the briefing, sir?
- 603
- 01:04:21,107 --> 01:04:22,440
- I only wish he were.
- 604
- 01:04:22,525 --> 01:04:25,151
- Then some ambitious officer might take the opportunity
- 605
- 01:04:25,236 --> 01:04:27,362
- to shoot that dago bastard.
- 606
- 01:04:29,282 --> 01:04:31,950
- Excuse me, General. I'm expecting an important call.
- 607
- 01:04:32,034 --> 01:04:34,244
- Could you please have someone come and get me?
- 608
- 01:04:34,328 --> 01:04:37,038
- Even if I'm with the Führer.
- 609
- 01:04:37,123 --> 01:04:39,708
- Of course, Colonel. Thank you, sir.
- 610
- 01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:42,252
- Colonel.
- 611
- 01:05:15,870 --> 01:05:17,829
- Major Freyend speaking.
- 612
- 01:05:27,465 --> 01:05:30,592
- Colonel? They insist you hurry.
- 613
- 01:05:31,761 --> 01:05:33,637
- The briefing's about to begin.
- 614
- 01:05:33,846 --> 01:05:35,889
- One moment, please, Major.
- 615
- 01:05:42,188 --> 01:05:44,439
- Ten minutes. Two for the walk, one for the checkpoint,
- 616
- 01:05:44,523 --> 01:05:47,025
- one for the bunker, six to get out.
- 617
- 01:05:47,652 --> 01:05:49,194
- Plenty of time.
- 618
- 01:05:53,199 --> 01:05:54,991
- Excuse me, Colonel.
- 619
- 01:05:57,536 --> 01:05:59,996
- Sir! The Führer's at the briefing!
- 620
- 01:06:06,003 --> 01:06:08,296
- The Colonel is changing, Major.
- 621
- 01:06:11,550 --> 01:06:15,095
- You understand this can be difficult. Of course.
- 622
- 01:06:30,069 --> 01:06:31,653
- Plenty of time.
- 623
- 01:06:56,637 --> 01:06:59,347
- Get the car. But, sir...
- 624
- 01:06:59,432 --> 01:07:02,100
- I have everything I need. Get the car.
- 625
- 01:07:31,088 --> 01:07:32,797
- I can manage this.
- 626
- 01:07:45,811 --> 01:07:47,645
- Where are they going? It's too hot.
- 627
- 01:07:47,730 --> 01:07:50,982
- The briefing has been moved to the conference hut.
- 628
- 01:08:15,841 --> 01:08:17,926
- Major, my injuries have left me hard of hearing.
- 629
- 01:08:18,010 --> 01:08:20,386
- Would you place me as close to the Führer as possible?
- 630
- 01:08:20,471 --> 01:08:21,429
- I'll see what I can do.
- 631
- 01:08:21,514 --> 01:08:22,555
- ...against the Red Army.
- 632
- 01:08:24,141 --> 01:08:25,850
- Not only have they been advancing from the east,
- 633
- 01:08:25,935 --> 01:08:30,355
- but they're coming down
- on the northern and
- the southern fronts as well.
- 634
- 01:08:32,233 --> 01:08:35,360
- As you can see, my Führer,
- if the enemy continues
- at this rate,
- 635
- 01:08:35,444 --> 01:08:38,863
- the situation in the East Prussian sector is critical.
- 636
- 01:08:39,615 --> 01:08:43,201
- Lack of supplies is continuing to weaken our main units,
- 637
- 01:08:43,285 --> 01:08:45,286
- and reserves are severely depleted.
- 638
- 01:08:45,371 --> 01:08:48,373
- My Führer, you remember Colonel Stauffenberg?
- 639
- 01:08:56,340 --> 01:08:57,924
- As you are all aware,
- 640
- 01:08:58,008 --> 01:09:01,886
- in the past two days alone,
- the 10th Army has given up Ancona,
- 641
- 01:09:01,971 --> 01:09:04,973
- the 14th Division has been pushed out of Livorno.
- 642
- 01:09:05,057 --> 01:09:08,810
- Army Group Center has already lost 28 of their 40 divisions.
- 643
- 01:09:09,562 --> 01:09:12,730
- That is a total of almost 350,000 men.
- 644
- 01:09:18,112 --> 01:09:21,865
- Since the Red Army first attacked nearly a month ago,
- 645
- 01:09:21,949 --> 01:09:25,243
- our troops have
- already been pushed back
- to the Polish border.
- 646
- 01:09:26,662 --> 01:09:28,204
- Conference hut.
- 647
- 01:09:28,289 --> 01:09:31,833
- This, compounded with the loss of the 4th Army in Minsk,
- 648
- 01:09:31,959 --> 01:09:34,878
- threatens the entire eastern perimeter. Yes, sir.
- 649
- 01:09:34,962 --> 01:09:38,339
- We must consider pulling men from Army Group North Ukraine,
- 650
- 01:09:38,424 --> 01:09:39,924
- as well as the Romanian...
- 651
- 01:09:45,681 --> 01:09:47,724
- ...and prevent further losses.
- 652
- 01:09:47,808 --> 01:09:50,810
- Unless we can quickly dispatch new blocking divisions
- 653
- 01:09:50,895 --> 01:09:53,938
- at vital points along the German right,
- 654
- 01:09:54,023 --> 01:09:55,356
- Army Group will be swallowed...
- 655
- 01:09:55,441 --> 01:09:57,066
- Colonel. There's a telephone call for you.
- 656
- 01:09:57,151 --> 01:09:58,526
- ...by the enemy in less than a fortnight.
- 657
- 01:09:58,611 --> 01:10:02,405
- And we run the risk
- of losing all the ground
- we have managed to gain
- 658
- 01:10:02,489 --> 01:10:06,326
- in the last three years. Our spearhead...
- 659
- 01:10:06,410 --> 01:10:09,454
- General Fellgiebel, sir. He says it's urgent.
- 660
- 01:10:12,833 --> 01:10:15,376
- Yes, General, this is Stauffenberg.
- 661
- 01:10:18,547 --> 01:10:23,092
- ...Russian air activity
- has proven just as impregnable
- as their ground force.
- 662
- 01:10:23,177 --> 01:10:25,303
- Why? My Führer...
- 663
- 01:10:32,436 --> 01:10:35,438
- In some areas they outnumber us seven to one.
- 664
- 01:10:35,981 --> 01:10:38,274
- If we can afford to give ground
- 665
- 01:10:38,359 --> 01:10:40,777
- along the Italian front, I further...
- 666
- 01:10:43,989 --> 01:10:46,032
- One thing is certain,
- 667
- 01:10:46,116 --> 01:10:49,869
- the Red Army will continue an aggressive push west,
- 668
- 01:10:49,954 --> 01:10:50,995
- even at the expense...
- 669
- 01:10:55,584 --> 01:10:57,502
- In order to rebuild at this...
- 670
- 01:11:03,884 --> 01:11:06,261
- ...already south-west of Dünaburg
- 671
- 01:11:06,345 --> 01:11:09,180
- and closing on Army Group at Lake Peipus.
- 672
- 01:11:09,265 --> 01:11:13,726
- If they are not
- immediately withdrawn,
- it will be a catastrophe.
- 673
- 01:11:35,708 --> 01:11:39,210
- Get in. Drive.
- 674
- 01:11:41,046 --> 01:11:43,673
- I have orders from the Führer. Drive.
- 675
- 01:11:44,883 --> 01:11:46,634
- Drive! Drive!
- 676
- 01:11:50,180 --> 01:11:51,597
- As you were.
- 677
- 01:12:23,213 --> 01:12:26,507
- Get me the War Ministry. General Olbricht. Olbricht!
- 678
- 01:12:26,592 --> 01:12:28,343
- The call is urgent!
- 679
- 01:12:32,848 --> 01:12:34,015
- General Olbricht's office.
- 680
- 01:12:34,099 --> 01:12:35,641
- I'm calling from the Wolf's Lair
- 681
- 01:12:35,726 --> 01:12:38,436
- with an urgent message for General Olbricht.
- 682
- 01:12:38,520 --> 01:12:42,523
- Something terrible has happened. The Führer is...
- 683
- 01:12:44,777 --> 01:12:46,152
- Fellgiebel?
- 684
- 01:12:47,780 --> 01:12:49,364
- Sever all communications.
- 685
- 01:12:49,448 --> 01:12:51,115
- Sir? Just do it!
- 686
- 01:12:54,370 --> 01:12:58,289
- Well, what did he say? I couldn't be sure.
- 687
- 01:12:59,416 --> 01:13:01,751
- Well, get him back on the line.
- 688
- 01:13:03,462 --> 01:13:06,339
- Sir, the bomb did go off. That much was clear.
- 689
- 01:13:06,423 --> 01:13:09,467
- Fellgiebel's next step will be to sever all communications.
- 690
- 01:13:20,312 --> 01:13:21,979
- Sorry, Colonel. No one gets in or out.
- 691
- 01:13:22,064 --> 01:13:23,314
- We have an order from the Führer.
- 692
- 01:13:23,399 --> 01:13:25,566
- We have to get to the airfield immediately. Open the gate.
- 693
- 01:13:25,651 --> 01:13:27,402
- I'm very sorry, but my orders are to keep the gate...
- 694
- 01:13:27,486 --> 01:13:29,320
- I just gave you an order, Sergeant.
- 695
- 01:13:29,988 --> 01:13:31,322
- Sir!
- 696
- 01:13:31,407 --> 01:13:33,574
- Sir. Excuse me.
- 697
- 01:13:41,208 --> 01:13:44,252
- Colonel Stauffenberg for Field Marshal Keitel.
- 698
- 01:13:50,551 --> 01:13:52,051
- Colonel Stauffenberg was explicit.
- 699
- 01:13:52,136 --> 01:13:53,719
- We initiate Valkyrie regardless.
- 700
- 01:13:53,804 --> 01:13:55,430
- Only Fromm can initiate. You know that.
- 701
- 01:13:55,514 --> 01:13:56,597
- Then tell him Hitler's dead.
- 702
- 01:13:56,682 --> 01:13:58,391
- Or arrest him. But do it now.
- 703
- 01:13:58,475 --> 01:14:02,311
- Sir, you have to give the
- order to initiate Valkyrie.
- This is our only...
- 704
- 01:14:02,396 --> 01:14:04,480
- I'm not doing anything until I hear from Fellgiebel.
- 705
- 01:14:04,565 --> 01:14:05,815
- Get him back on the phone now.
- 706
- 01:14:05,899 --> 01:14:08,276
- Every second we stand here arguing is a second lost.
- 707
- 01:14:08,360 --> 01:14:09,777
- The risk is too great.
- 708
- 01:14:09,862 --> 01:14:12,780
- What about Stauffenberg? What about his risk?
- 709
- 01:14:12,865 --> 01:14:15,199
- He did his part, and now you're abandoning him.
- 710
- 01:14:16,493 --> 01:14:18,119
- Field Marshal, sir. Stauffenberg here.
- 711
- 01:14:18,203 --> 01:14:19,787
- A Sergeant...
- 712
- 01:14:19,872 --> 01:14:21,122
- Kolbe, sir.
- 713
- 01:14:21,206 --> 01:14:22,832
- What? Kolbe.
- 714
- 01:14:22,916 --> 01:14:25,460
- ...Kolbe won't let me pass the main gate.
- 715
- 01:14:25,544 --> 01:14:27,587
- Yes, sir, I explained that.
- 716
- 01:14:27,671 --> 01:14:30,423
- Perhaps you can make him understand, sir.
- 717
- 01:14:35,762 --> 01:14:38,389
- Everything's fine now, sir. Thank you.
- 718
- 01:14:41,727 --> 01:14:43,227
- Open the gate!
- 719
- 01:14:52,070 --> 01:14:53,654
- At least put the Reserve Army on alert.
- 720
- 01:14:53,739 --> 01:14:55,323
- When Stauffenberg returns,
- 721
- 01:14:55,407 --> 01:14:59,660
- when he gives me confirmation
- that Hitler is dead,
- then we'll proceed.
- 722
- 01:15:05,792 --> 01:15:07,418
- And where are you going?
- 723
- 01:15:07,503 --> 01:15:10,004
- The same place as you are. Lunch.
- 724
- 01:16:52,274 --> 01:16:54,191
- Another standby alert.
- 725
- 01:16:56,987 --> 01:16:59,655
- Send it through. But keep me informed.
- 726
- 01:17:23,180 --> 01:17:26,557
- Sir. Another standby order.
- 727
- 01:17:29,728 --> 01:17:33,230
- In ancient Greece, you would have been killed for this.
- 728
- 01:17:34,358 --> 01:17:36,525
- Lucky for you we've evolved.
- 729
- 01:17:39,863 --> 01:17:41,530
- Assemble the men.
- 730
- 01:18:30,622 --> 01:18:32,248
- Quiet, isn't it?
- 731
- 01:18:34,584 --> 01:18:36,794
- I'll see where our driver is.
- 732
- 01:18:39,965 --> 01:18:41,674
- This is von Haeften. The Colonel and I are at the airfield.
- 733
- 01:18:41,758 --> 01:18:43,300
- There's no car. There's no one here.
- 734
- 01:18:45,512 --> 01:18:48,806
- You mean to tell me the alert's only just gone out?
- 735
- 01:18:49,725 --> 01:18:51,308
- This is Stauffenberg. Get me General Olbricht.
- 736
- 01:18:59,901 --> 01:19:01,318
- What's this?
- 737
- 01:19:08,285 --> 01:19:09,869
- Explain this! Someone had to do something
- 738
- 01:19:09,953 --> 01:19:10,953
- while you were playing dead!
- 739
- 01:19:11,037 --> 01:19:12,079
- We don't know that Hitler is not alive.
- 740
- 01:19:12,164 --> 01:19:15,249
- This is about Germany, for God's sake, not you!
- 741
- 01:19:25,260 --> 01:19:27,678
- General Olbricht's office.
- 742
- 01:19:28,013 --> 01:19:30,431
- Colonel Stauffenberg. For you, sir.
- 743
- 01:19:37,731 --> 01:19:39,565
- This is Olbricht. It's been three hours, Olbricht.
- 744
- 01:19:39,649 --> 01:19:40,900
- What the hell have you been doing?
- 745
- 01:19:41,234 --> 01:19:43,319
- We've had no confirmation that Hitler was dead.
- 746
- 01:19:44,529 --> 01:19:49,867
- Damn it! I saw the explosion myself! We are committed.
- 747
- 01:19:50,494 --> 01:19:53,370
- Dear God. Now, where is Fromm? Is he with us?
- 748
- 01:19:54,122 --> 01:19:57,166
- Is he with us? No one has spoken to him yet.
- 749
- 01:20:09,387 --> 01:20:13,307
- You listen to me. Never mind Germany. Never mind Europe.
- 750
- 01:20:13,391 --> 01:20:15,643
- Your life is at stake now.
- 751
- 01:20:15,727 --> 01:20:18,145
- And if you want to
- live through the night,
- you'll do exactly as I say.
- 752
- 01:20:18,396 --> 01:20:19,522
- The second you hang up the phone,
- 753
- 01:20:19,606 --> 01:20:21,273
- initiate Valkyrie in Fromm's name.
- 754
- 01:20:21,733 --> 01:20:24,401
- Give him the choice
- to join us, or place him
- under immediate arrest.
- 755
- 01:20:24,486 --> 01:20:26,362
- Do you understand? Yes.
- 756
- 01:20:26,446 --> 01:20:27,947
- I'll be in Fromm's office in 15 minutes.
- 757
- 01:20:28,031 --> 01:20:29,406
- Be there when I arrive.
- 758
- 01:21:01,439 --> 01:21:04,483
- Call Beck and the others. Tell them it's time.
- 759
- 01:21:10,115 --> 01:21:12,533
- Put me through to Communications.
- 760
- 01:21:13,827 --> 01:21:15,035
- This is General Olbricht,
- 761
- 01:21:15,328 --> 01:21:17,204
- calling on behalf of General Fromm,
- 762
- 01:21:17,289 --> 01:21:19,373
- commander of the Reserve Army.
- 763
- 01:21:19,457 --> 01:21:21,750
- The Führer, Adolf Hitler, is dead.
- 764
- 01:21:21,835 --> 01:21:23,377
- A group of radicals in the SS
- 765
- 01:21:23,461 --> 01:21:25,880
- are attempting to seize control of the government.
- 766
- 01:21:25,964 --> 01:21:28,132
- Initiate Operation Valkyrie.
- 767
- 01:22:04,502 --> 01:22:07,630
- You have your orders. Pass them along.
- 768
- 01:22:45,335 --> 01:22:48,003
- Battalion. Attention!
- 769
- 01:22:53,635 --> 01:22:55,135
- The Führer...
- 770
- 01:22:57,973 --> 01:23:00,224
- Our Führer, Adolf Hitler,
- 771
- 01:23:03,895 --> 01:23:05,145
- is dead.
- 772
- 01:23:05,855 --> 01:23:07,815
- Who told you the Führer was dead?
- 773
- 01:23:07,899 --> 01:23:10,109
- General Fellgiebel. At the Wolf's Lair.
- 774
- 01:23:13,738 --> 01:23:15,614
- There's no use calling. All communication lines are down.
- 775
- 01:23:15,699 --> 01:23:17,199
- Yes. Get me the Wolf's Lair.
- 776
- 01:23:17,283 --> 01:23:18,784
- One moment, sir.
- 777
- 01:23:22,747 --> 01:23:24,331
- Wolf's Lair. May I connect you?
- 778
- 01:23:24,416 --> 01:23:27,710
- Yes. General Fromm for Field Marshal Keitel. Urgent.
- 779
- 01:23:31,965 --> 01:23:35,050
- Keitel. Yes, I'm sorry to disturb you, sir,
- 780
- 01:23:35,135 --> 01:23:36,844
- but I wonder if you could tell me what's happening.
- 781
- 01:23:36,928 --> 01:23:39,680
- The most incredible rumours are circulating in Berlin.
- 782
- 01:23:39,764 --> 01:23:41,348
- I don't know what you mean.
- 783
- 01:23:41,433 --> 01:23:44,727
- There's talk that the Führer has been assassinated.
- 784
- 01:23:46,021 --> 01:23:47,938
- Another failed attempt.
- 785
- 01:23:48,606 --> 01:23:51,108
- The Führer was never in danger.
- 786
- 01:23:51,192 --> 01:23:54,570
- By the way, where's your man Stauffenberg?
- 787
- 01:23:55,363 --> 01:23:59,199
- Stauffenberg? He...
- On his way back to Berlin, I would think.
- 788
- 01:23:59,743 --> 01:24:03,203
- Let me know when he arrives. I'd like a word with him.
- 789
- 01:24:10,462 --> 01:24:13,964
- The Führer's fine. That is a lie. Adolf Hitler's dead.
- 790
- 01:24:14,049 --> 01:24:15,549
- Operation Valkyrie is in effect.
- 791
- 01:24:15,633 --> 01:24:17,718
- Only I can initiate Valkyrie.
- 792
- 01:24:17,802 --> 01:24:19,053
- You did.
- 793
- 01:24:28,271 --> 01:24:29,271
- This is treason.
- 794
- 01:24:29,355 --> 01:24:32,191
- Right now, the Reserve Army's assuming control of Berlin.
- 795
- 01:24:32,275 --> 01:24:34,026
- Are you with us or not?
- 796
- 01:24:34,110 --> 01:24:36,695
- Do you realize what you've done?
- 797
- 01:24:36,780 --> 01:24:38,822
- The Führer is alive. I delivered the bomb myself.
- 798
- 01:24:38,907 --> 01:24:41,075
- I saw the blast. He is dead.
- 799
- 01:24:43,828 --> 01:24:44,912
- Are you with us?
- 800
- 01:24:44,996 --> 01:24:46,413
- I don't believe this is happening.
- 801
- 01:24:46,498 --> 01:24:49,792
- This is some kind of a joke. Are you with us or not?
- 802
- 01:24:49,876 --> 01:24:52,461
- Colonel, if what you say is true,
- 803
- 01:24:53,171 --> 01:24:55,172
- you should shoot yourself immediately.
- 804
- 01:24:55,256 --> 01:24:56,590
- The rest of you are under arrest.
- 805
- 01:24:56,674 --> 01:24:58,383
- No, General. You are.
- 806
- 01:25:04,349 --> 01:25:07,267
- I don't know where you think this is going.
- 807
- 01:25:10,230 --> 01:25:11,939
- Get me Operations.
- 808
- 01:25:13,233 --> 01:25:14,566
- This is Colonel Stauffenberg.
- 809
- 01:25:14,651 --> 01:25:17,111
- Seal off the War Ministry per Operation Valkyrie.
- 810
- 01:25:17,195 --> 01:25:18,237
- No one gets in or out
- 811
- 01:25:18,321 --> 01:25:20,781
- without authorization from General Olbricht's office.
- 812
- 01:25:38,174 --> 01:25:40,509
- General Beck.
- 813
- 01:25:41,344 --> 01:25:42,970
- You're not wearing your uniform, sir.
- 814
- 01:25:43,054 --> 01:25:46,140
- This should be seen as a movement of the people.
- 815
- 01:25:52,105 --> 01:25:55,149
- Colonel Stauffenberg? Yes.
- 816
- 01:25:59,821 --> 01:26:03,740
- The chief has guaranteed
- the full support of
- the Berlin Police.
- 817
- 01:26:05,702 --> 01:26:09,454
- You will have no interference from my men. You have my word.
- 818
- 01:26:12,834 --> 01:26:14,209
- Thank you.
- 819
- 01:26:49,996 --> 01:26:53,415
- Colonel Stauffenberg, sir. We are reporting for duty.
- 820
- 01:26:59,047 --> 01:27:00,881
- Thank you for coming.
- 821
- 01:27:05,720 --> 01:27:09,264
- Gentlemen, in three hours I want confirmation
- 822
- 01:27:09,349 --> 01:27:11,183
- that the government quarter is ours
- 823
- 01:27:11,267 --> 01:27:14,645
- and SS Command has been cleared of every living soul.
- 824
- 01:27:15,230 --> 01:27:17,564
- You all know what must be done.
- 825
- 01:27:18,441 --> 01:27:20,943
- By nightfall, I want to know that Hitler's Germany
- 826
- 01:27:21,027 --> 01:27:22,778
- has seen its last sunrise.
- 827
- 01:27:54,727 --> 01:27:56,478
- Yes, sir. All replacements have been authorized.
- 828
- 01:27:56,562 --> 01:27:57,980
- In fact, Field Marshal Witzleben
- 829
- 01:27:58,064 --> 01:28:00,023
- has been appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.
- 830
- 01:28:00,984 --> 01:28:02,484
- That's exactly why he's been appointed.
- 831
- 01:28:02,568 --> 01:28:03,694
- If he was a member of the Party,
- 832
- 01:28:03,778 --> 01:28:05,112
- he'd be locked up as a suspect.
- 833
- 01:28:05,196 --> 01:28:07,364
- Yes, sir,
- I understand your concern,
- but this is an emergency.
- 834
- 01:28:07,448 --> 01:28:09,157
- The commanding officer at the 11th District, please.
- 835
- 01:28:09,242 --> 01:28:10,284
- I need a decision, Major.
- 836
- 01:28:10,368 --> 01:28:12,160
- Tell your men that acts of vengeance will not be tolerated.
- 837
- 01:28:12,245 --> 01:28:14,371
- Why hasn't anyone occupied the Tegel broadcasting station?
- 838
- 01:28:14,455 --> 01:28:16,039
- Can I speak to the commanding officer in Hannover, please?
- 839
- 01:28:16,124 --> 01:28:17,291
- We represent a different form of government.
- 840
- 01:28:17,375 --> 01:28:18,792
- I'd be careful who you said that to.
- 841
- 01:28:18,876 --> 01:28:20,460
- Loyalty to the Party isn't what it used to be.
- 842
- 01:28:20,545 --> 01:28:21,878
- Yes, Paris. France.
- 843
- 01:28:22,005 --> 01:28:23,338
- Not since they murdered the Führer.
- 844
- 01:28:23,423 --> 01:28:24,965
- And, Josef. Thank you.
- 845
- 01:28:25,049 --> 01:28:26,383
- You've made the right decision.
- 846
- 01:28:28,511 --> 01:28:29,553
- District 13 is ours.
- 847
- 01:28:41,941 --> 01:28:43,608
- By order of Field Marshal von Witzleben,
- 848
- 01:28:43,693 --> 01:28:46,903
- you are under arrest for crimes against the state.
- 849
- 01:28:55,621 --> 01:28:57,998
- This is Stauffenberg.
- I'm trying to connect with Major-General Thadden.
- 850
- 01:28:58,082 --> 01:28:59,499
- No, I've already spoken to 413 Battalion.
- 851
- 01:28:59,584 --> 01:29:01,209
- You'll have no trouble getting reinforcements.
- 852
- 01:29:01,294 --> 01:29:03,170
- The order
- explaining everything
- will be in your hand shortly.
- 853
- 01:29:03,296 --> 01:29:05,922
- No, these are your orders. Excellent.
- 854
- 01:29:07,967 --> 01:29:10,510
- My wife is in Bamberg with my children.
- 855
- 01:29:10,595 --> 01:29:12,012
- Would you please try to raise them on the phone?
- 856
- 01:29:12,096 --> 01:29:14,139
- Yes, sir. Thank you.
- 857
- 01:29:14,223 --> 01:29:16,099
- General Schwedler has issued the Valkyrie orders
- 858
- 01:29:16,184 --> 01:29:17,225
- and has sealed off headquarters.
- 859
- 01:29:17,310 --> 01:29:19,186
- Good. Check on the radio stations every 20 minutes
- 860
- 01:29:19,270 --> 01:29:21,480
- till we have confirmation they're ours.
- 861
- 01:29:33,993 --> 01:29:35,202
- Well, with all due respect, sir,
- 862
- 01:29:35,286 --> 01:29:36,578
- you can't believe everything you hear.
- 863
- 01:29:36,662 --> 01:29:38,497
- That is SS propaganda. He's dead.
- 864
- 01:29:38,581 --> 01:29:42,626
- Only the commander
- of the Home Army is
- authorized to give orders.
- 865
- 01:29:42,710 --> 01:29:44,878
- General? Sir.
- 866
- 01:29:46,089 --> 01:29:47,714
- Hello, Christian? Our men in the transport offices
- 867
- 01:29:47,799 --> 01:29:49,341
- have secured the railway communications network,
- 868
- 01:29:49,425 --> 01:29:50,425
- but there are repeater stations...
- 869
- 01:29:50,510 --> 01:29:52,386
- Yes. I give you my word. ...telephone and telegraph offices,
- 870
- 01:29:52,470 --> 01:29:54,554
- emergency broadcast outposts. We need more men.
- 871
- 01:29:54,639 --> 01:29:57,182
- Thank you. Give my best to your family.
- 872
- 01:29:57,266 --> 01:29:58,725
- He's with us.
- 873
- 01:29:59,644 --> 01:30:00,852
- Mertz? Call Potsdam.
- 874
- 01:30:00,937 --> 01:30:03,355
- Tell them to place all available units under our control.
- 875
- 01:30:03,439 --> 01:30:05,232
- You have your men. Now get control of the radio.
- 876
- 01:30:05,316 --> 01:30:07,234
- We have control of the government quarter.
- 877
- 01:30:07,318 --> 01:30:09,319
- We don't have Berlin yet.
- 878
- 01:30:32,552 --> 01:30:35,429
- What is it now, Sergeant? Arrest orders, sir.
- 879
- 01:30:35,513 --> 01:30:37,389
- One from Colonel Stauffenberg in the War Ministry
- 880
- 01:30:37,473 --> 01:30:40,100
- to arrest Reich Minister Goebbels.
- 881
- 01:30:40,184 --> 01:30:42,102
- The other is from the Wolf's Lair,
- 882
- 01:30:42,186 --> 01:30:44,187
- to arrest Colonel Stauffenberg.
- 883
- 01:30:49,986 --> 01:30:51,903
- Send them both through.
- 884
- 01:30:52,530 --> 01:30:55,198
- Our job is not to interpret orders,
- 885
- 01:30:55,324 --> 01:30:57,951
- our job is to pass them along, regardless.
- 886
- 01:30:58,035 --> 01:31:00,745
- Yes, but... That will be all, Sergeant.
- 887
- 01:31:20,558 --> 01:31:22,976
- This is treason! You're all going to pay for this!
- 888
- 01:31:23,060 --> 01:31:25,061
- Do you hear me?
- 889
- 01:31:38,284 --> 01:31:39,826
- New arrest orders, sir.
- 890
- 01:31:39,911 --> 01:31:41,578
- For Stauffenberg and Goebbels.
- 891
- 01:31:43,247 --> 01:31:45,165
- Do we arrest them both?
- 892
- 01:31:46,167 --> 01:31:48,710
- I would hate to find out I'm being taken advantage of.
- 893
- 01:31:48,794 --> 01:31:50,545
- You really think it's a coup?
- 894
- 01:31:51,380 --> 01:31:53,089
- Of that I am certain.
- 895
- 01:31:53,216 --> 01:31:55,967
- What I can't say is which side we're on.
- 896
- 01:31:56,636 --> 01:31:58,345
- Come with me.
- 897
- 01:31:58,429 --> 01:31:59,971
- District 4, Dresden and Leipzig.
- 898
- 01:32:00,056 --> 01:32:01,431
- District 12, Wiesbaden. District 9...
- 899
- 01:32:01,516 --> 01:32:03,141
- They've had no trouble getting reinforcements,
- 900
- 01:32:03,226 --> 01:32:06,186
- and I rely on you seeing that this gets done.
- 901
- 01:32:09,065 --> 01:32:10,899
- I've just spoken to Colonel Linstow.
- 902
- 01:32:10,983 --> 01:32:14,986
- They've arrested 1,200 SS and Gestapo officials in Paris.
- 903
- 01:32:15,071 --> 01:32:16,655
- Not a single shot fired.
- 904
- 01:32:16,739 --> 01:32:18,406
- Early reports from Vienna are good.
- 905
- 01:32:18,491 --> 01:32:20,825
- I'm waiting on word from Prague.
- 906
- 01:32:20,910 --> 01:32:22,285
- Incredible.
- 907
- 01:32:55,820 --> 01:32:57,320
- I'm ready to be connected.
- 908
- 01:33:11,836 --> 01:33:13,795
- Minister Goebbels?
- 909
- 01:33:14,046 --> 01:33:15,880
- What can I do for you, Major?
- 910
- 01:33:15,965 --> 01:33:19,092
- My battalion has an order to blockade the government quarter
- 911
- 01:33:19,176 --> 01:33:21,303
- and place you under arrest.
- 912
- 01:33:24,640 --> 01:33:27,684
- Are you a dedicated National Socialist, Major?
- 913
- 01:33:28,936 --> 01:33:30,228
- Yes, sir.
- 914
- 01:33:44,535 --> 01:33:48,330
- Major Remer here. Hello?
- 915
- 01:33:51,375 --> 01:33:53,418
- Do you recognize my voice?
- 916
- 01:33:55,880 --> 01:33:57,130
- Yes, my Führer.
- 917
- 01:33:57,214 --> 01:33:59,341
- Then listen to me very carefully.
- 918
- 01:34:01,886 --> 01:34:04,471
- I want these traitors taken alive.
- 919
- 01:34:06,807 --> 01:34:08,350
- Yes, my Führer.
- 920
- 01:34:13,022 --> 01:34:14,856
- You heard what he said.
- 921
- 01:34:14,940 --> 01:34:17,317
- The Führer wants the traitors taken alive.
- 922
- 01:34:19,445 --> 01:34:20,737
- Yes, sir.
- 923
- 01:34:45,971 --> 01:34:50,684
- It's a coup, all right.
- We can't afford to remain
- neutral any longer.
- 924
- 01:34:54,939 --> 01:34:57,107
- You have to make a decision.
- 925
- 01:34:58,859 --> 01:35:02,195
- When it's over, we better wind up on the right side.
- 926
- 01:35:08,744 --> 01:35:10,120
- Very well.
- 927
- 01:35:12,873 --> 01:35:14,874
- Send through all communications from the Wolf's Lair.
- 928
- 01:35:14,959 --> 01:35:17,752
- Stop all communications from Stauffenberg.
- 929
- 01:35:23,801 --> 01:35:25,468
- Release these men!
- 930
- 01:35:27,346 --> 01:35:29,180
- But they're part of the coup.
- 931
- 01:35:29,265 --> 01:35:31,725
- I've just been on the phone with Hitler himself.
- 932
- 01:35:31,809 --> 01:35:33,226
- We are the coup, you idiot.
- 933
- 01:35:33,561 --> 01:35:34,978
- We've been duped.
- 934
- 01:35:37,898 --> 01:35:40,483
- We've lost contact with District 11.
- 935
- 01:35:43,821 --> 01:35:45,739
- The switchboard is overloaded.
- 936
- 01:35:45,865 --> 01:35:47,824
- Give it 10 minutes and try again.
- 937
- 01:35:52,747 --> 01:35:55,039
- Give me General Bieler, District 11.
- 938
- 01:35:55,124 --> 01:35:56,499
- We still need...
- 939
- 01:35:56,542 --> 01:35:58,293
- I don't want to leave any section... Keep trying.
- 940
- 01:35:58,377 --> 01:36:02,130
- Out of my way. Where is General Fromm?
- 941
- 01:36:05,426 --> 01:36:08,678
- General Fromm is no longer in command. I am.
- 942
- 01:36:08,763 --> 01:36:11,389
- Beck? What are you doing here? What is going on?
- 943
- 01:36:11,474 --> 01:36:12,974
- The Führer is dead.
- 944
- 01:36:13,350 --> 01:36:14,601
- The SS are staging a coup.
- 945
- 01:36:14,685 --> 01:36:17,312
- We've initiated Operation Valkyrie to crush the uprising
- 946
- 01:36:17,396 --> 01:36:18,938
- and save Hitler's Germany.
- 947
- 01:36:19,023 --> 01:36:22,317
- You will present the order to your troops.
- 948
- 01:36:22,401 --> 01:36:25,570
- I will do no such thing until I speak to General Fromm.
- 949
- 01:36:25,654 --> 01:36:29,032
- You will follow your orders, or you are under arrest.
- 950
- 01:36:30,493 --> 01:36:36,080
- This is treason. I will take no part.
- The Führer is not dead.
- 951
- 01:36:37,041 --> 01:36:38,958
- The Führer is not dead! Stop him!
- 952
- 01:36:39,043 --> 01:36:42,545
- The Führer is not dead! The Führer is not dead!
- 953
- 01:36:42,630 --> 01:36:46,049
- I have sworn an oath! This is treason!
- 954
- 01:36:46,133 --> 01:36:49,302
- You all swore an oath! Listen to what I have to say.
- 955
- 01:36:49,386 --> 01:36:52,931
- You are all making a terrible mistake!
- 956
- 01:36:53,766 --> 01:37:00,230
- The Führer is not dead!
- 957
- 01:37:02,233 --> 01:37:04,234
- Please try my wife again.
- 958
- 01:37:13,160 --> 01:37:14,786
- Bamberg, please.
- 959
- 01:37:21,252 --> 01:37:23,169
- Take your hands off me!
- 960
- 01:37:29,093 --> 01:37:30,218
- Sir.
- 961
- 01:37:41,480 --> 01:37:44,148
- Over 215 enemy tanks have been annihilated
- 962
- 01:37:44,233 --> 01:37:46,150
- in the past week alone.
- 963
- 01:37:46,235 --> 01:37:48,778
- The air force, engaged in low-flying offensives
- 964
- 01:37:48,863 --> 01:37:51,364
- on enemy concentrations... Lieutenant.
- 965
- 01:37:51,448 --> 01:37:52,490
- I can't get through to General Gerlach.
- 966
- 01:37:52,575 --> 01:37:55,785
- Send a runner down to his office. Bring him here.
- 967
- 01:37:58,789 --> 01:38:00,331
- Yes, thank you.
- 968
- 01:38:01,625 --> 01:38:02,792
- Yes, this is Stauffenberg.
- 969
- 01:38:02,877 --> 01:38:05,295
- I was speaking to the General about five minutes ago.
- 970
- 01:38:05,379 --> 01:38:06,671
- He told me he'd return my call.
- 971
- 01:38:06,755 --> 01:38:08,172
- I've yet to hear from him.
- 972
- 01:38:08,257 --> 01:38:10,758
- I trust everything in your district is under control?
- 973
- 01:38:10,843 --> 01:38:13,303
- Hans, I need your answer.
- 974
- 01:38:13,387 --> 01:38:15,054
- There's no more time for indecision.
- 975
- 01:38:15,139 --> 01:38:17,765
- And the General knows I'm waiting?
- 976
- 01:38:17,850 --> 01:38:19,309
- I'm ordering you to put him on the phone immediately.
- 977
- 01:38:19,393 --> 01:38:21,227
- The army gave their oath to a liar, Hans.
- 978
- 01:38:21,312 --> 01:38:22,562
- Hello?
- 979
- 01:38:22,646 --> 01:38:23,897
- One who's broken his own oath...
- 980
- 01:38:23,981 --> 01:38:26,357
- Hello? ...to the people a hundred times over.
- 981
- 01:38:26,442 --> 01:38:28,276
- Hans, listen to me...
- 982
- 01:38:54,762 --> 01:38:57,847
- This operation has been terminated! Stand down!
- 983
- 01:39:03,354 --> 01:39:06,814
- Today, an attempt was made on the Führer's life.
- 984
- 01:39:06,899 --> 01:39:09,359
- The Führer himself suffered no major injuries
- 985
- 01:39:09,443 --> 01:39:11,319
- beyond light burns and bruises.
- 986
- 01:39:11,403 --> 01:39:13,780
- He resumed his work immediately.
- 987
- 01:39:13,864 --> 01:39:16,449

- ...and, as scheduled,

- 995
- 01:39:42,059 --> 01:39:44,769
- Long live our Führer, Adolf Hitler,
- 996
- 01:39:44,853 --> 01:39:48,106
- whom the almighty God has so visibly blessed today.
- 997
- 01:39:51,944 --> 01:40:00,076
- I saw the blast.
- 998
- 01:40:09,253 --> 01:40:12,505
- Today an attempt was made on the Führer's life.
- 999
- 01:40:12,589 --> 01:40:15,008
- The Führer himself suffered no major injuries
- 1000
- 01:40:15,092 --> 01:40:17,093
- beyond light burns and bruises.
- 1001
- 01:40:17,177 --> 01:40:18,261
- I'm sorry.
- 1002
- 01:40:18,345 --> 01:40:20,179
- He resumed his work immediately.
- 1003
- 01:40:20,264 --> 01:40:23,016
- Those seriously wounded include General Schmundt,
- 1004

- and, as scheduled,

- 1010
- 01:40:48,000 --> 01:40:51,544
- Stay tuned for the Führer's address to the German people.
- 1011
- 01:40:51,628 --> 01:40:52,962
- My family?
- 1012
- 01:40:54,465 --> 01:40:56,466
- Our lines have been cut.
- 1013
- 01:41:00,095 --> 01:41:01,763
- I'm sorry.
- 1014
- 01:41:03,182 --> 01:41:04,891
- Go.
- 1015
- 01:41:05,434 --> 01:41:07,226
- It's all right. Go.
- 1016
- 01:41:23,994 --> 01:41:26,954
- General. Sir. We have to get you out of here.
- 1017
- 01:42:53,667 --> 01:42:55,751
- Get him out of here.
- 1018
- 01:42:55,836 --> 01:42:57,503
- Stop! Stand down!
- 1019
- 01:42:57,588 --> 01:42:59,922
- I said stop! I said stand down!
- 1020
- 01:43:27,451 --> 01:43:28,993
- Hold your fire!
- 1021
- 01:43:38,170 --> 01:43:40,004
- Colonel Stauffenberg?
- 1022
- 01:43:43,425 --> 01:43:46,385
- By orders of the Führer, you're under arrest.
- 1023
- 01:44:09,201 --> 01:44:12,578
- If you have any last messages to your wives and children,
- 1024
- 01:44:12,663 --> 01:44:14,497
- I will hear them now.
- 1025
- 01:44:16,667 --> 01:44:17,875
- Very well.
- 1026
- 01:44:17,960 --> 01:44:20,086
- A court-martial convened by me in the Führer's absence
- 1027
- 01:44:20,170 --> 01:44:21,295
- will pronounce sentence.
- 1028
- 01:44:21,380 --> 01:44:23,256
- Beck, you're under arrest.
- 1029
- 01:44:23,340 --> 01:44:28,636
- Colonel Mertz von Quirnheim, General Olbricht, Lieutenant Haeften,
- 1030
- 01:44:28,720 --> 01:44:30,930
- and the Colonel whose name I will not mention,
- 1031
- 01:44:31,014 --> 01:44:32,390
- are condemned to death.
- 1032
- 01:44:32,474 --> 01:44:34,934
- General. My orders are to take these men alive.
- 1033
- 01:44:35,018 --> 01:44:36,519
- Noted, Major.
- 1034
- 01:44:38,146 --> 01:44:40,189
- I'd like a pistol, please.
- 1035
- 01:44:42,943 --> 01:44:44,777
- For personal reasons.
- 1036
- 01:45:03,088 --> 01:45:04,588
- Get on with it.
- 1037
- 01:45:04,673 --> 01:45:06,882
- With all respect... That will be all, Major.
- 1038
- 01:45:07,009 --> 01:45:09,260
- Killing us won't hide your involvement.
- 1039
- 01:45:09,344 --> 01:45:12,596
- My involvement? I don't know what you're talking about.
- 1040
- 01:45:12,681 --> 01:45:13,973
- You knew and did nothing.
- 1041
- 01:45:14,057 --> 01:45:15,516
- You're as guilty as any of us.
- 1042
- 01:45:15,600 --> 01:45:17,435
- Spare me, Lieutenant.
- 1043
- 01:45:17,936 --> 01:45:19,770
- No one will be spared.
- 1044
- 01:45:35,120 --> 01:45:37,413
- I'm thinking of earlier times.
- 1045
- 01:45:43,420 --> 01:45:47,006
- This is an outrage
- that has never before
- been perpetrated here!
- 1046
- 01:45:47,090 --> 01:45:49,842
- A field marshal and a general
- 1047
- 01:45:49,926 --> 01:45:52,136
- declare that they could do things better
- 1048
- 01:45:52,220 --> 01:45:54,930
- than he who is the Führer of us all!
- 1049
- 01:45:55,015 --> 01:45:58,642
- You confess to having said this? Yes.
- 1050
- 01:46:03,732 --> 01:46:05,358
- My fellow Germans.
- 1051
- 01:46:05,442 --> 01:46:08,110
- I speak to you tonight for two reasons.
- 1052
- 01:46:09,321 --> 01:46:13,616
- First, so that
- you can hear my voice
- and know that I am unhurt.
- 1053
- 01:46:14,534 --> 01:46:18,621
- Second, so that you may know the details of a crime
- 1054
- 01:46:18,705 --> 01:46:21,791
- without parallel in German history.
- 1055
- 01:46:21,875 --> 01:46:26,045
- A small clique of ambitious, dishonourable officers
- 1056
- 01:46:26,129 --> 01:46:28,464
- have conspired to eliminate me.
- 1057
- 01:46:29,966 --> 01:46:35,471
- Except for
- a few bruises and burns,
- I was completely untouched.
- 1058
- 01:46:37,140 --> 01:46:39,809
- I see in this the hand of Providence,
- 1059
- 01:46:41,144 --> 01:46:43,604
- directing me to complete my work.
- 1060
- 01:46:53,240 --> 01:46:55,074
- Look them in the eye.
- 1061
- 01:46:57,202 --> 01:46:59,412
- They'll remember you.
- 1062
- 01:46:59,496 --> 01:47:00,871
- Olbricht!
- 1063
- 01:47:11,258 --> 01:47:12,758
- Make ready.
- 1064
- 01:47:28,191 --> 01:47:30,526
- Well, we have to show the world
- 1065
- 01:47:30,610 --> 01:47:32,570
- that not all of us were like him.
- 1066
- 01:47:37,534 --> 01:47:39,618
- Safe! Stand!
- 1067
- 01:47:43,707 --> 01:47:44,874
- Fire!
- 1068
- 01:47:46,376 --> 01:47:47,543
- Stand!
- 1069
- 01:48:08,857 --> 01:48:10,357
- Stauffenberg!
- 1070
- 01:48:14,362 --> 01:48:17,781
- The people know we put our principles above personal gain.
- 1071
- 01:48:17,866 --> 01:48:19,241
- Make ready!
- 1072
- 01:48:22,996 --> 01:48:24,079
- Aim!
- 1073
- 01:48:40,514 --> 01:48:42,473
- Safe! Stand!
- 1074
- 01:48:49,064 --> 01:48:52,358
- You may hand us over to the executioner,
- 1075
- 01:48:52,442 --> 01:48:54,068
- but in three months' time,
- 1076
- 01:48:54,152 --> 01:48:58,030
- the disgusted and harried people will bring you to book
- 1077
- 01:48:58,114 --> 01:49:02,284
- and drag you alive through the dirt in the streets.
- 1078
- 01:49:03,078 --> 01:49:05,204
- Take him away.
- 1079
- 01:49:09,668 --> 01:49:11,961
- Make ready.
- 1080
- 01:49:14,130 --> 01:49:15,422
- Aim.
- 1081
- 01:49:16,675 --> 01:49:18,551
- Long live sacred Germany! Fire!
- 1082
- 01:49:20,720 --> 01:49:22,720
- Stand.
