MOSFILM

00:00:19.333 --> 00:00:23.042
Breaking news
from the Ardennes region,

00:00:23.208 --> 00:00:24.625
in north-eastern France.

00:00:26.625 --> 00:00:28.667
Watch this trophy newsreel,

00:00:28.833 --> 00:00:32.125
captured by
the Fuhrer's glorious soldiers.

00:00:33.250 --> 00:00:37.917
The footage shows the advance
of American mechanized columns.

00:00:39.583 --> 00:00:43.833
They moved along mountain roads
in the hope of an easy victory.

00:00:50.250 --> 00:00:52.500
But the great German Army

00:00:52.542 --> 00:00:56.500
struck an unexpected blow
to the arrogant Americans.

00:01:25.042 --> 00:01:28.417
80,000 of them
have been taken prisoner.

00:01:35.458 --> 00:01:39.250
The enemy has been driven
120 kilometers back.

00:01:41.667 --> 00:01:46.750
And our troops continue
to advance deep into France.

00:02:06.500 --> 00:02:10.000
If we are to believe
these German newsreels,

00:02:11.042 --> 00:02:13.833
the Allies
in the Ardennes region are...

00:02:15.208 --> 00:02:16.208
in trouble.

00:02:16.375 --> 00:02:20.583
Comrade Stalin, the Anglo-American
troops are on the verge of disaster.

00:02:29.333 --> 00:02:32.333
Read me Churchill's letter again.

00:02:33.708 --> 00:02:37.500
"It is General Eisenhower's
great desire and need

00:02:37.667 --> 00:02:41.167
to know in outline
what you plan to do,

00:02:42.125 --> 00:02:46.208
as this obviously affects
all his and our major decisions.

00:02:46.667 --> 00:02:50.125
I shall be grateful
if you can tell me

00:02:50.375 --> 00:02:53.625
whether we can count
on a major Russian offensive

00:02:54.167 --> 00:02:57.167
on the Vistula front,
or elsewhere,

00:02:57.333 --> 00:03:01.042
during January,
with any other points

00:03:01.208 --> 00:03:04.208
you may care to mention.

00:03:04.375 --> 00:03:05.500
Winston Churchill."

00:03:17.083 --> 00:03:22.542
A delicate and cunning
appeal for help.

00:03:23.542 --> 00:03:26.000
Forced by circumstance,
Comrade Stalin.

00:03:32.500 --> 00:03:35.792
How are the preparations going
for the offensive?

00:03:36.458 --> 00:03:38.750
Our strike forces have already been

00:03:39.042 --> 00:03:41.625
strategically positioned to attack.

00:03:42.083 --> 00:03:45.417
Nine thousand tanks,
nine thousand airplanes,

00:03:45.625 --> 00:03:49.833
seventy thousand guns
and 180 rifle divisions.

00:03:50.333 --> 00:03:52.208
When can we begin?

00:03:52.792 --> 00:03:56.292
Front Commanders Zhukov,
Konev, and Rokossovsky believe

00:03:56.458 --> 00:04:00.750
that the end of January would be
the optimal time for the offensive.

00:04:02.167 --> 00:04:03.333
End of January?

00:04:04.833 --> 00:04:08.625
And if we take Churchill's
request into account

00:04:09.583 --> 00:04:12.667
and move the start
of the offensive forwards?

00:04:13.708 --> 00:04:17.125
We'll have to do
without our air support,

00:04:17.583 --> 00:04:19.083
in fog, or bad weather.

00:04:19.500 --> 00:04:22.333
- And without air support...
- Comrade Antonov,

00:04:23.167 --> 00:04:27.458
inform Zhukov,
Rokossovsky, and Konev

00:04:27.792 --> 00:04:32.458
about the new date
of the offensive - January 12.

00:04:36.375 --> 00:04:42.375
On January 12, 13, and 14, 1945

00:04:44.667 --> 00:04:49.708
the troops of the 1st,
2nd, and 3rd Belorussian Fronts,

00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:55.042
the 1st and 4th Ukrainian Fronts,

00:04:55.750 --> 00:04:59.708
assisted by the ships
of the Baltic Fleet

00:05:00.167 --> 00:05:03.417
and the Ukrainian partisan units,

00:05:04.500 --> 00:05:07.375
launched an offensive

00:05:08.125 --> 00:05:11.792
in the general direction of Berlin!

00:08:59.042 --> 00:09:03.625
The flank attack
of the 1st and 2nd Guards Tank Armies

00:09:04.500 --> 00:09:09.000
shook all the German
tactical and operational defenses

00:09:09.625 --> 00:09:12.125
and forced the enemy

00:09:12.500 --> 00:09:16.708
to begin withdrawing
troops from Warsaw.

00:09:25.458 --> 00:09:28.250
On January 17,

00:09:28.500 --> 00:09:32.417
units of the 1st Polish Army
entered Warsaw.

00:10:09.167 --> 00:10:15.000
COMMANDER OF THE 1ST BELORUSSIAN
FRONT, MARSHAL ZHUKOV

00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:22.708
Artillery attack!
Turn right, in there!

00:10:41.167 --> 00:10:44.625
Let's wait it out here, Marshal.
There's an HQ inside.

00:11:05.625 --> 00:11:08.833
Chief of the 741st Rifle Regiment HQ
Major Orlov.

00:11:09.292 --> 00:11:10.792
Where's your commander?

00:11:11.542 --> 00:11:13.208
The regiment commander is...

00:11:13.875 --> 00:11:15.292
resting, Marshal.

00:11:16.125 --> 00:11:17.417
Wake him up.

00:11:18.500 --> 00:11:19.500
Yes, Marshal.

00:11:23.125 --> 00:11:24.625
Lieutenant Colonel...

00:11:25.292 --> 00:11:27.375
Lieutenant Colonel, get up.

00:11:28.083 --> 00:11:29.667
Lieutenant Colonel!

00:11:34.167 --> 00:11:37.417
- Lieutenant Colonel, get up!
- What's the problem?

00:11:41.500 --> 00:11:45.000
- Your name?
- Lieutenant Colonel Korkin.

00:11:45.417 --> 00:11:46.875
Report on the situation.

00:11:47.667 --> 00:11:49.000
The situation...

00:11:49.542 --> 00:11:52.667
Our troops are advancing,
showing mass heroism.

00:11:53.708 --> 00:11:55.208
Where exactly?

00:11:57.167 --> 00:11:58.708
Where are they advancing?

00:11:59.708 --> 00:12:01.250
On the western outskirts.

00:12:02.500 --> 00:12:04.042
Here's our HQ chief.

00:12:04.417 --> 00:12:07.583
- May I report, Marshal?
- Go ahead.

00:12:08.083 --> 00:12:11.208
The enemy is holding the line
at the flour mill.

00:12:11.458 --> 00:12:13.917
They've fended off
battalions 1 and 2.

00:12:14.375 --> 00:12:18.625
Battalion 3 is moving to the cemetery
to attack from the flank.

00:12:19.667 --> 00:12:20.792
I see.

00:12:23.292 --> 00:12:26.667
From now on, you, Major,
will be the regiment commander.

00:12:29.167 --> 00:12:30.792
And you, Lieutenant Colonel,

00:12:32.375 --> 00:12:34.625
will be his deputy.

00:12:36.250 --> 00:12:38.417
I think that will be fair.

00:13:29.125 --> 00:13:34.083
THE FIRST TANK ARMY

00:13:55.125 --> 00:13:57.833
Move ahead as quickly as possible.

00:13:58.250 --> 00:14:01.750
LIEUTENANT GENERAL KATUKOV
Don't engage with small garrisons.

00:14:01.833 --> 00:14:03.333
Keep moving!

00:15:00.208 --> 00:15:05.167
My Fuhrer, the time has come
for us to offer General Eisenhower

00:15:05.333 --> 00:15:09.000
an armistice of 100 days.

00:15:09.375 --> 00:15:12.583
This will enable us
to amass our forces in the east,

00:15:12.625 --> 00:15:17.042
and decimate the Russians
between the Vistula and the Oder.

00:15:18.125 --> 00:15:22.708
We have made contact
with Allen Dulles through Zurich.

00:15:23.000 --> 00:15:25.417
He represents Eisenhower's HQ.

00:16:01.750 --> 00:16:02.792
I know.

00:16:04.500 --> 00:16:08.958
They'll demand a peaceful surrender
of France, Belgium, and Holland.

00:16:10.417 --> 00:16:11.917
I cannot agree to that.

00:16:16.458 --> 00:16:18.000
We shall prove to them...

00:16:24.500 --> 00:16:28.000
that we can still deliver
crushing blows.

00:16:30.208 --> 00:16:34.625
Guderian, what's the situation
between the Vistula and the Oder?

00:16:35.458 --> 00:16:38.667
Things have changed drastically
on the Eastern Front

00:16:38.708 --> 00:16:40.667
between the Vistula and the Oder.

00:16:41.083 --> 00:16:42.667
What do you mean, Guderian?

00:16:44.500 --> 00:16:46.875
My Fuhrer,
the Russian 1st Tank Army

00:16:47.042 --> 00:16:49.792
approached the Oder
south of Kustrin today.

00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:57.417
Just 60 kilometers from Berlin?

00:17:00.333 --> 00:17:01.500
This is treason!

00:17:10.083 --> 00:17:12.375
Betrayal and treason!

00:17:16.333 --> 00:17:22.250
For 150 years no enemy soldier
has set foot on German land!

00:17:22.417 --> 00:17:24.917
For 150 years, Guderian!

00:17:25.208 --> 00:17:26.208
My Fuhrer.

00:17:37.625 --> 00:17:41.625
My Fuhrer, I propose to strike
a counterattack in Pomerania.

00:17:47.500 --> 00:17:48.500
A counterattack?

00:17:50.250 --> 00:17:51.417
Show me.

00:17:55.500 --> 00:17:57.750
We'll create a powerful strike force

00:17:57.792 --> 00:18:00.292
and attack Zhukov's army
from the flank.

00:18:02.500 --> 00:18:03.333
Keitel.

00:18:06.500 --> 00:18:08.625
You said an armistice in the West

00:18:08.667 --> 00:18:11.542
will enable us to amass
our forces in the East?

00:18:11.708 --> 00:18:13.125
Yes, my Fuhrer.

00:18:14.125 --> 00:18:18.500
Himmler, who will
negotiate with Dulles?

00:18:19.667 --> 00:18:20.750
General Wolff.

00:18:27.208 --> 00:18:30.708
SWITZERLAND

00:18:39.417 --> 00:18:42.417
War can be compared
to a flight in the fog.

00:18:43.167 --> 00:18:46.292
The most dangerous moment
is the landing, the finish.

00:18:48.083 --> 00:18:50.750
What's awaiting you
at the finish, Mr. Dulles?

00:18:53.125 --> 00:18:54.625
Bolshevism in Europe?

00:18:56.333 --> 00:18:59.625
The Russian troops are only
50 miles away from Berlin,

00:19:00.125 --> 00:19:02.125
while the Americans are - 500.

00:19:06.125 --> 00:19:11.333
It is along this path that we can
find common interests, Mr. Wolff.

00:19:27.667 --> 00:19:30.792
...thus, HQ has approved our decision.

00:19:31.083 --> 00:19:33.208
COLONEL GENERAL MALININ

00:19:33.375 --> 00:19:38.167
In the next six days,
actively secure our gains,

00:19:38.583 --> 00:19:41.083
bring up the rear echelons,

00:19:42.208 --> 00:19:45.375
replenish supplies
up to two refills of fuel

00:19:45.500 --> 00:19:47.458
and two allowances of ammunition

00:19:47.542 --> 00:19:53.500
and capture Berlin in a
swift assault on February 15 or 16.

00:19:57.583 --> 00:19:58.583
So...

00:20:00.375 --> 00:20:03.625
Capture Berlin in 15 days.

00:20:07.500 --> 00:20:08.500
Alright.

00:20:10.500 --> 00:20:12.333
Draw up an order for the front.

00:20:12.500 --> 00:20:13.500
Yes, Marshal.

00:20:14.500 --> 00:20:17.750
Allow me to report
an update on the enemy.

00:20:18.625 --> 00:20:19.708
Go ahead.

00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:23.458
Our aerial reconnaissance

00:20:24.083 --> 00:20:27.583
has spotted major tank
and motorized forces of the enemy

00:20:27.833 --> 00:20:30.083
moving through Pomerania.

00:20:31.542 --> 00:20:33.667
Army intelligence reports

00:20:33.833 --> 00:20:37.083
that the 2nd and 11th German Armies,

00:20:37.250 --> 00:20:40.333
operating against our right flank,

00:20:41.083 --> 00:20:44.333
already comprise 16 infantry

00:20:44.583 --> 00:20:46.500
and up to 7 tank divisions.

00:20:49.417 --> 00:20:52.250
- Is that all?
- That's all, Marshal.

00:21:01.667 --> 00:21:03.583
How are things around Kustrin?

00:21:03.750 --> 00:21:06.583
GENERAL SOKOLOVSKY
- I've just come from there.

00:21:07.375 --> 00:21:12.500
Berzarin's forces continue to battle
for the Oder bridgeheads.

00:21:13.458 --> 00:21:16.875
The divisions are down to
50% troop strength.

00:21:17.500 --> 00:21:19.667
The Germans keep counterattacking.

00:21:20.042 --> 00:21:22.333
The Luftwaffe
wreaks the most havoc.

00:21:23.625 --> 00:21:26.792
Where are our fighter aircraft,
General Rudenko?

00:21:29.167 --> 00:21:31.167
COLONEL GENERAL RUDENKO
- Marshal,

00:21:31.250 --> 00:21:33.542
the Germans use Berlin's airports,

00:21:33.583 --> 00:21:35.625
which have concrete runways,

00:21:35.792 --> 00:21:39.208
and our aircraft are based
on muddy airfields

00:21:39.375 --> 00:21:41.083
washed out by the rains.

00:21:41.667 --> 00:21:45.167
Each takeoff carries great risk.

00:21:51.500 --> 00:21:55.542
General Oriol, how many tanks
do you have in your tank brigades?

00:21:56.500 --> 00:21:59.208
LIEUTENANT GENERAL ORIOL
- 40 on average, sir.

00:21:59.500 --> 00:22:02.750
And many brigades
have only 15-20 tanks.

00:22:03.583 --> 00:22:05.500
Reinforcements are slow to come.

00:22:06.250 --> 00:22:10.042
Repair bases have fallen
almost 500 kilometers behind.

00:22:11.042 --> 00:22:16.542
Twenty days of such a rapid advance
have taken a toll on the men.

00:22:16.583 --> 00:22:19.042
GENERAL GALADZHEV
- Our political officers

00:22:19.125 --> 00:22:22.625
are with the units at the front,
inspiring them to heroism.

00:22:22.750 --> 00:22:26.250
The soldiers really are
performing miracles of courage.

00:22:27.083 --> 00:22:30.500
But, nevertheless,
I must report, sir, that...

00:22:30.750 --> 00:22:33.125
the troops need a rest.

00:22:41.667 --> 00:22:44.458
You're free to go, Generals.

00:24:32.250 --> 00:24:34.167
Yes, Comrade Zhukov.

00:24:34.583 --> 00:24:37.083
The situation is extremely precarious.

00:24:38.167 --> 00:24:41.708
Our troops are fighting
at the limits of human ability.

00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:43.125
And the Germans...

00:24:43.792 --> 00:24:45.250
are pushing to Moscow.

00:24:46.125 --> 00:24:49.125
They have only
30 km left to cover.

00:24:51.792 --> 00:24:53.208
Do you not think

00:24:53.625 --> 00:24:56.542
that by the nature
and strength of their attacks,

00:24:56.625 --> 00:24:59.042
they might be running out of steam?

00:25:01.542 --> 00:25:04.167
They are stretched out
along the front.

00:25:07.792 --> 00:25:10.375
They've lost their penetrating power.

00:25:10.542 --> 00:25:12.625
Their rear echelons are far behind.

00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:18.417
Now is the perfect time
to strike at their flanks.

00:25:21.750 --> 00:25:24.208
May I, Comrade Zhukov?

00:25:33.500 --> 00:25:37.000
I prepared the order
about the Berlin offensive.

00:25:38.833 --> 00:25:41.375
There will be no Berlin offensive,

00:25:42.208 --> 00:25:43.667
Comrade Malinin.

00:25:45.083 --> 00:25:47.458
Good decision, Comrade Zhukov.

00:25:48.708 --> 00:25:50.625
I knew you would make it.

00:25:52.125 --> 00:25:53.708
What do you suggest?

00:25:54.500 --> 00:25:59.542
I've invited General Katukov,
Commander of the 1st Tank Army.

00:25:59.583 --> 00:26:01.458
He's waiting in reception.

00:26:01.667 --> 00:26:03.375
- Call him in.
- Sir.

00:26:10.708 --> 00:26:12.542
Good morning, Marshal.

00:26:15.292 --> 00:26:17.583
What are your plans, tank-man?

00:26:18.333 --> 00:26:21.000
My plans are to take Berlin, Marshal.

00:26:21.542 --> 00:26:23.000
Seventy kilometers -

00:26:23.542 --> 00:26:25.375
just 2 days' march for my army.

00:26:26.500 --> 00:26:28.000
Come, look at the map.

00:26:33.167 --> 00:26:36.417
Put yourself in Guderian's place.

00:26:40.417 --> 00:26:42.458
You have 23 divisions,

00:26:42.500 --> 00:26:45.083
of which 7 are tank and motorized.

00:26:47.125 --> 00:26:49.542
Zhukov is advancing on Berlin.

00:26:51.250 --> 00:26:55.833
Rokossovsky is 150 km
behind him, in Pomerania.

00:26:58.458 --> 00:27:02.833
General Katukov, what would you do
if you were Guderian?

00:27:09.167 --> 00:27:13.167
I would try to cut off
Marshal Zhukov's advancing army

00:27:13.833 --> 00:27:18.333
with a tank strike
from the north.

00:27:19.083 --> 00:27:20.083
That's right.

00:27:21.292 --> 00:27:22.417
That's right.

00:27:22.667 --> 00:27:25.625
That's Guderian's only chance.

00:27:27.292 --> 00:27:30.125
So here are
the 1st Tank Army's orders.

00:27:31.417 --> 00:27:32.500
I order you to...

00:27:34.500 --> 00:27:38.250
turn over your positions
on the Oder to the nearby units

00:27:39.500 --> 00:27:44.375
and move by forced march
northward to Pomerania.

00:27:44.542 --> 00:27:46.292
To the region of Arnswalde.

00:27:47.458 --> 00:27:48.708
Yes, Marshal.

00:27:55.000 --> 00:27:56.250
Headquarters!

00:27:57.375 --> 00:28:00.375
YALTA
FEBRUARY 4

00:28:24.167 --> 00:28:27.208
The Soviet Army continues
its successful offensive

00:28:27.375 --> 00:28:30.208
along the 700-kilometer front.

00:28:32.167 --> 00:28:35.708
General Chernyakhovsky's troops
are advancing on Konigsberg.

00:28:37.375 --> 00:28:40.792
Marshal Rokossovsky's troops
are cutting off East Prussia

00:28:40.833 --> 00:28:42.792
from Germany's central regions.

00:28:43.333 --> 00:28:46.292
Marshal Zhukov's troops
have reached the Oder.

00:28:46.667 --> 00:28:50.500
Marshal Konev's troops
are advancing on Breslau.

00:28:51.708 --> 00:28:54.417
Likely enemy actions:

00:28:55.125 --> 00:28:57.417
in an effort to defend Berlin

00:28:57.500 --> 00:29:00.458
the Germans will try
to halt the Soviet advance

00:29:00.583 --> 00:29:03.167
at the Oder River.

00:29:04.167 --> 00:29:07.167
There, they have set up defenses
with the reserves

00:29:07.333 --> 00:29:09.417
deployed from Germany,

00:29:09.583 --> 00:29:12.500
as well as from
Western Europe and Italy.

00:29:13.542 --> 00:29:17.833
We estimate that up to 40 additional
German divisions may appear

00:29:18.167 --> 00:29:19.792
on the Soviet front.

00:29:22.542 --> 00:29:25.500
A favorable situation has emerged

00:29:25.667 --> 00:29:29.000
for the Allied forces
to launch an offensive.

00:29:42.667 --> 00:29:47.750
Perhaps General Marshall,
as the Chief of Staff of the US Army,

00:29:48.167 --> 00:29:51.292
will tell us about
the preparations in the West?

00:30:03.125 --> 00:30:07.292
In the past few days Eisenhower
has regrouped his forces.

00:30:08.083 --> 00:30:12.042
At the present moment,
the 25th Army Group

00:30:12.833 --> 00:30:15.333
and the 9th American Army

00:30:16.333 --> 00:30:17.833
are preparing to attack.

00:30:18.792 --> 00:30:22.083
If we are successful
in our offensive operations,

00:30:24.125 --> 00:30:27.292
we can move our
forces on to Dusseldorf,

00:30:28.000 --> 00:30:29.708
and then on to Berlin.

00:30:37.042 --> 00:30:42.417
How far are your troops
from Berlin now?

00:30:46.458 --> 00:30:48.458
Around 600 kilometers.

00:30:50.000 --> 00:30:52.083
And our troops?

00:30:52.500 --> 00:30:56.000
Sixty kilometers, Comrade Stalin.

00:31:00.500 --> 00:31:04.792
The time has come for us
to coordinate our military actions.

00:31:37.167 --> 00:31:41.000
Gentlemen, your allotted time is up.

00:32:07.750 --> 00:32:11.083
I hope you were sincere
when you spoke

00:32:11.250 --> 00:32:14.125
about the coordination
of our actions.

00:32:16.750 --> 00:32:19.667
Have you any real doubt
about that, Mr. Marshal?

00:32:21.500 --> 00:32:24.458
Yes, I have, Mr. Roosevelt.

00:32:25.042 --> 00:32:29.458
About you being in contact
with the enemy behind our back.

00:32:30.292 --> 00:32:34.250
And not only in contact,
but in agreement.

00:32:34.750 --> 00:32:36.750
I would even say a conspiracy.

00:32:37.708 --> 00:32:39.708
A conspiracy?
With whom?

00:32:41.208 --> 00:32:43.208
With Hitler's agent.

00:32:44.792 --> 00:32:48.542
I'm afraid you're using
unreliable information.

00:32:53.583 --> 00:32:56.500
This is Allen Dulles.

00:32:57.375 --> 00:33:01.125
And this is Hitter's agent,
General Wolff.

00:33:07.625 --> 00:33:09.500
I can assure you, Mr. Marshal,

00:33:09.583 --> 00:33:13.083
that this meeting was
of a purely preliminary nature.

00:33:14.167 --> 00:33:16.708
And yet, it was behind our back.

00:33:18.292 --> 00:33:21.625
We should not lose trust
in each other because of this.

00:33:23.667 --> 00:33:27.750
As long as we are alive,
there's nothing to be afraid of.

00:33:29.667 --> 00:33:33.542
We shall not allow dangerous
differences to stand between us.

00:33:34.250 --> 00:33:36.417
But in ten years,

00:33:36.750 --> 00:33:40.542
or maybe even sooner...
we'll be gone.

00:33:41.333 --> 00:33:43.750
A new generation will come

00:33:44.500 --> 00:33:46.500
that will not have experienced

00:33:47.625 --> 00:33:50.583
all that we have.

00:33:51.542 --> 00:33:53.083
What will happen then?

00:33:56.250 --> 00:34:01.500
We've gathered here to secure peace

00:34:02.125 --> 00:34:03.417
for at least...

00:34:04.667 --> 00:34:06.167
50 years.

00:34:08.792 --> 00:34:11.333
Or am I...

00:34:11.500 --> 00:34:15.542
naive to think so, Mr. President?

00:34:17.167 --> 00:34:19.667
That's actually so, Mr. Marshal.

00:34:21.583 --> 00:34:23.083
Well, then.

00:34:24.708 --> 00:34:30.042
The most important condition
for preserving a lasting peace

00:34:31.167 --> 00:34:35.333
is the unity of our three powers.

00:34:54.667 --> 00:34:57.083
If the Russians take Berlin,

00:34:58.167 --> 00:35:01.667
it will create great
difficulties in the future.

00:35:05.167 --> 00:35:09.625
I believe we should advance on Berlin
just as quickly as we can.

00:35:22.167 --> 00:35:25.375
Troops of the 1st Belorussian Front,

00:35:26.292 --> 00:35:29.083
having turned northwards,

00:35:30.125 --> 00:35:34.083
repulsed the enemy's
counterattack in Pomerania

00:35:35.167 --> 00:35:38.625
and, having smashed
the German's opposition,

00:35:39.500 --> 00:35:43.667
launched an offensive on March 1

00:35:44.000 --> 00:35:48.333
sending the 1st and 2nd
Guards Tank Armies,

00:35:48.583 --> 00:35:50.833
the 3rd Shock Army

00:35:51.125 --> 00:35:54.125
and the 1st Polish Army

00:35:54.667 --> 00:35:57.833
toward the Baltic Sea.

00:37:02.583 --> 00:37:05.333
Are you musicians...
unwinding?

00:37:06.500 --> 00:37:08.208
Art belongs to the people.

00:37:13.292 --> 00:37:14.708
Where's your commander?

00:37:17.708 --> 00:37:19.417
Cycling around over there.

00:37:26.833 --> 00:37:29.667
I'm mastering new equipment!

00:37:33.708 --> 00:37:37.125
Captain Vasilyev,
tank company commander.

00:37:37.375 --> 00:37:40.333
Lieutenant Dombrowski,
Polish battalion commander.

00:37:40.417 --> 00:37:42.625
On orders to accompany your tanks.

00:37:42.667 --> 00:37:47.125
That's the hitch.
We've got orders, but no fuel.

00:37:47.500 --> 00:37:48.875
We took the village...

00:37:49.625 --> 00:37:51.375
- and then...
- No fuel?

00:37:51.542 --> 00:37:52.542
Hold on.

00:37:53.000 --> 00:37:54.000
Pelka!

00:37:55.375 --> 00:37:59.417
[speaking Polish]

00:38:04.750 --> 00:38:09.583
He says he saw fuel tanks
3 kilometers off the highway.

00:38:09.750 --> 00:38:13.125
OK, Lieutenant,
can you lend me your scout?

00:38:13.292 --> 00:38:15.417
- Of course.
- Dorozhkin.

00:38:18.625 --> 00:38:22.125
Take the bikes and check.

00:38:24.333 --> 00:38:25.625
Go and show him.

00:38:32.833 --> 00:38:37.625
I said he might not have a lady yet,
but at least he has a ladies' bike!

00:38:40.583 --> 00:38:42.000
I need to march ahead.

00:38:51.250 --> 00:38:52.250
Catch up.

00:38:54.042 --> 00:38:55.167
We will.

00:39:11.042 --> 00:39:12.042
There it is.

00:39:44.292 --> 00:39:45.292
Well?

00:39:48.583 --> 00:39:51.583
Give me your mess tin.
Come on, give it.

00:39:52.292 --> 00:39:55.125
- What for?
- Just give me the tin.

00:40:03.375 --> 00:40:06.625
We tank men
always taste fuel.

00:40:16.250 --> 00:40:17.833
Death to the Nazi invaders.

00:40:22.125 --> 00:40:24.292
Well, will it do?

00:40:24.708 --> 00:40:26.500
It'll do.
Try it.

00:40:28.167 --> 00:40:31.333
- I know nothing about fuel.
- You’ll know this one.

00:40:31.500 --> 00:40:32.875
What am I, a tank?

00:40:46.000 --> 00:40:47.667
Tastes like pure alcohol.

00:40:49.625 --> 00:40:54.167
- Guess we'll have to keep looking.
- Tanks won't get far on this.

00:40:54.458 --> 00:40:57.125
- Ready for another?
- Indeed I am.

00:40:57.292 --> 00:41:00.292
Workers of the world, unite!

00:41:10.750 --> 00:41:12.125
How about a song?

00:41:12.833 --> 00:41:13.833
Yes, yes.

00:41:17.250 --> 00:41:21.625
Oh brave Khas-Bulat...

00:41:21.667 --> 00:41:27.667
- Your hut is so poor...
- [singing in Polish]

00:41:31.792 --> 00:41:35.292
- Cultural differences.
- Yes, they get in the way.

00:42:07.625 --> 00:42:08.708
Ours!

00:42:09.542 --> 00:42:12.417
Girls, they're ours!
Oh, my God!

00:42:12.583 --> 00:42:16.667
- Where are you from?
- From Smolensk, from Poltava.

00:42:16.833 --> 00:42:18.583
Some are French, some Czech.

00:42:18.750 --> 00:42:20.250
Come on, girls, come out!

00:42:27.375 --> 00:42:30.458
Don't cry, dears, don't cry.

00:42:39.625 --> 00:42:45.625
[speaking Polish]

00:42:52.542 --> 00:42:53.542
Alright.

00:42:53.708 --> 00:42:58.000
- Paris...
- From Paris, I see... De Gaulle!

00:42:58.375 --> 00:43:01.625
Our dear brothers,
you have come at last!

00:43:01.667 --> 00:43:03.625
We thought you never would.

00:43:04.167 --> 00:43:09.667
Girls, ladies, mademoiselles,
wait here.

00:43:21.083 --> 00:43:23.542
Come on out, Europe!

00:43:24.500 --> 00:43:25.500
Rot Front!

00:43:26.042 --> 00:43:29.125
- Ah, Spain?
- Germany.

00:43:29.500 --> 00:43:33.208
- What do you mean, Germany?
- I... German, comrade.

00:43:33.500 --> 00:43:36.708
I'm not your comrade.
Hitler is your comrade.

00:43:36.750 --> 00:43:40.708
We antifascists!
Antifascists, antifascists!

00:43:41.000 --> 00:43:46.000
- [speaking German]
- He's a German antifascist, OK?

00:43:46.750 --> 00:43:47.750
OK then.

00:43:48.500 --> 00:43:51.708
He looks antifascist.

00:43:56.542 --> 00:44:02.042
All those who survived
must devote their lives

00:44:02.333 --> 00:44:06.250
to the struggle against
humanity's greatest enemy - fascism.

00:44:06.833 --> 00:44:09.125
- Rot Front!
- Rot Front!

00:44:14.500 --> 00:44:18.792
Let's ask the Red Army sergeant
to say a few words.

00:44:20.375 --> 00:44:21.417
You must speak.

00:44:21.500 --> 00:44:23.000
- Me?
- Yes, yes.

00:44:25.083 --> 00:44:26.833
OK, sure.

00:44:27.250 --> 00:44:28.333
[speaking Polish]

00:44:50.208 --> 00:44:53.083
My antifascist comrades,

00:44:53.833 --> 00:44:55.042
former prisoners.

00:45:00.500 --> 00:45:01.667
Go home!

00:45:02.417 --> 00:45:03.417
Home.

00:45:03.792 --> 00:45:06.750
[speaking German]

00:45:09.542 --> 00:45:10.542
Well...

00:45:17.458 --> 00:45:18.458
That's all.

00:45:37.625 --> 00:45:38.667
Found it!

00:45:38.833 --> 00:45:40.792
- What?
- Tank fuel.

00:45:41.417 --> 00:45:42.750
Wait!

00:45:43.333 --> 00:45:45.125
Wait!

00:46:22.500 --> 00:46:27.000
MOSCOW
APRIL 1

00:46:42.458 --> 00:46:44.042
Hello, Comrade Stalin.

00:46:44.458 --> 00:46:45.917
Hello, Comrade Stalin.

00:46:47.833 --> 00:46:52.333
Are you aware
of the recent developments?

00:46:53.667 --> 00:46:57.125
Based on the information
received from the fronts,

00:46:57.292 --> 00:46:58.750
we are aware.

00:47:00.667 --> 00:47:02.833
You are aware of nothing.

00:47:09.833 --> 00:47:11.083
Comrade Konev.

00:47:12.708 --> 00:47:15.583
Read the report
of the Intelligence Directorate.

00:47:20.833 --> 00:47:24.625
"According to our sources,
Anglo-American Command

00:47:25.458 --> 00:47:27.958
has planned an operation
to capture Berlin

00:47:28.125 --> 00:47:30.792
before the Soviet Army does.

00:47:31.792 --> 00:47:36.417
Forces under the command
of Field Marshal Montgomery

00:47:36.583 --> 00:47:40.042
plan to deliver the main strike
north of the Ruhr,

00:47:40.500 --> 00:47:42.333
along the shortest route

00:47:42.500 --> 00:47:45.625
separating most British forces
from Berlin."

00:47:49.500 --> 00:47:54.000
The possibility of Nazis
opening the way

00:47:54.167 --> 00:47:58.333
for the Allied forces to enter Berlin
cannot be ruled out.

00:48:04.500 --> 00:48:06.833
So, who will capture Berlin?

00:48:07.792 --> 00:48:08.833
Will we?

00:48:09.500 --> 00:48:10.833
Or will the Allies?

00:48:12.792 --> 00:48:17.292
The Berlin operation
we have been tasked to mount

00:48:18.083 --> 00:48:19.750
will be unprecedented.

00:48:20.583 --> 00:48:23.375
On the outskirts of Berlin,
we have to defeat

00:48:23.500 --> 00:48:28.292
four German armies,
at least a million soldiers.

00:48:29.333 --> 00:48:31.542
We have never taken such a large

00:48:31.542 --> 00:48:34.167
and strongly fortified
city as Berlin.

00:48:34.417 --> 00:48:36.208
It's an enormous area.

00:48:36.542 --> 00:48:40.042
The streets, alleys,
houses, canals, bridges -

00:48:40.125 --> 00:48:44.750
collectively they comprise
the city's overall defenses.

00:48:45.708 --> 00:48:51.583
A continuous defense system
stretches from the Oder to Berlin.

00:48:53.250 --> 00:48:55.208
Thus the Front Command decided

00:48:55.292 --> 00:48:58.792
to attack the enemy
with such great force

00:48:59.500 --> 00:49:03.875
so as to stun
and shake it to the very core.

00:49:04.500 --> 00:49:09.417
We have concentrated
22,000 artillery and mortar barrels,

00:49:09.667 --> 00:49:13.042
4,000 tanks and self-propelled guns,

00:49:13.208 --> 00:49:15.458
5,000 aircraft.

00:49:15.833 --> 00:49:20.250
I don't need to tell you
how powerful this assault could be.

00:49:22.167 --> 00:49:28.000
But in order to completely overwhelm
and demoralize the enemy,

00:49:29.583 --> 00:49:33.292
we propose
to launch that assault at night,

00:49:34.208 --> 00:49:35.708
two hours before dawn,

00:49:36.000 --> 00:49:40.333
in the light of 140
anti-aircraft searchlights.

00:49:41.500 --> 00:49:43.000
May I, Marshal?

00:49:45.375 --> 00:49:46.750
Please.

00:49:49.833 --> 00:49:51.792
Throughout the war,

00:49:52.083 --> 00:49:55.792
we never launched
major offensive operations at night.

00:49:56.250 --> 00:49:59.750
This is due to the complexity
of directing the troops.

00:50:00.167 --> 00:50:02.167
And the searchlights...

00:50:02.500 --> 00:50:05.042
The enemy artillery
will neutralize them.

00:50:06.000 --> 00:50:08.000
May I, Marshal?

00:50:08.500 --> 00:50:09.917
Please.

00:50:12.792 --> 00:50:16.750
I believe that the searchlights
will be ineffective.

00:50:17.500 --> 00:50:21.167
The enemy will see
only our advancing troops.

00:50:26.083 --> 00:50:28.083
Who else believes so?

00:50:29.458 --> 00:50:31.208
- I do.
- I do.

00:50:31.500 --> 00:50:32.500
I do.

00:50:37.417 --> 00:50:38.917
Let's take a break then.

00:50:39.500 --> 00:50:43.000
And meet
at the training ground in two hours.

00:50:55.167 --> 00:50:57.167
- Is everything ready?
- Yes.

00:50:57.333 --> 00:50:58.417
Good.

00:51:22.542 --> 00:51:26.833
Need a repeat,
or are we clear now?

00:51:35.208 --> 00:51:36.292
My Fuhrer,

00:51:37.250 --> 00:51:39.542
I must inform you
that the Bolsheviks

00:51:39.542 --> 00:51:43.042
repelled our counterattacks
in Pomerania and Hungary.

00:51:46.625 --> 00:51:51.208
General Dietrich's 6th Panzer Army
failed to breach Budapest.

00:51:53.708 --> 00:51:55.750
Dietrich, you've left Hungary

00:51:55.833 --> 00:51:58.833
and now you want
to give up Austria, too!

00:51:59.500 --> 00:52:01.625
My Fuhrer, the 6th Panzer Army...

00:52:01.667 --> 00:52:06.333
Enough, Dietrich!
You're stripped of your decorations!

00:52:06.792 --> 00:52:08.250
Gunsche!

00:52:10.625 --> 00:52:12.542
Rip off his decorations!

00:52:18.708 --> 00:52:20.208
Get out of here!

00:52:28.375 --> 00:52:32.875
Guderian, this is the result of your
strikes in Pomerania and Hungary.

00:52:35.792 --> 00:52:38.167
You need a rest, Guderian.

00:52:41.500 --> 00:52:45.583
I'm appointing General Krebs as
the new Chief of the General Staff.

00:52:55.125 --> 00:53:00.667
Bormann, tell Himmler to hang all
cowards, defeatists, and traitors!

00:53:01.000 --> 00:53:03.667
The Oder will decide
not only Germany’s fate

00:53:03.750 --> 00:53:05.250
but that of all Europe!

00:53:05.500 --> 00:53:09.542
My Fuhrer, congratulations.
Roosevelt has died!

00:53:10.417 --> 00:53:14.667
Just like your horoscope predicted.
Our luck has turned!

00:53:16.083 --> 00:53:19.208
Pass this news on to everybody!
Right away!

00:53:23.500 --> 00:53:25.583
Champagne for everyone!

00:53:27.500 --> 00:53:29.000
Roosevelt is dead!

00:53:31.708 --> 00:53:33.208
More light!

00:53:34.375 --> 00:53:35.500
Give us more light!

00:53:47.042 --> 00:53:51.542
April 16

00:55:12.167 --> 00:55:13.667
Battalion!

00:55:15.208 --> 00:55:17.792
At the enemy trenches!

00:55:19.750 --> 00:55:21.417
Fragmentation shells!

00:55:22.583 --> 00:55:24.667
Sights 120!

00:55:26.250 --> 00:55:28.708
Deflection 50-20!

00:55:30.500 --> 00:55:31.875
Volley!

00:55:32.500 --> 00:55:34.042
Fire!

00:55:46.667 --> 00:55:48.167
Fire!

00:56:01.500 --> 00:56:03.583
MARSHAL KONEV
- The front troops

00:56:03.667 --> 00:56:06.000
have breached the enemy defenses!

00:56:06.583 --> 00:56:10.583
Rybalko's and Lelyushenko's tank
armies now have room for maneuver.

00:56:11.792 --> 00:56:15.000
Zhukov is still having difficulties.

00:56:16.542 --> 00:56:18.792
Still trying to break the defenses.

00:56:23.500 --> 00:56:25.000
Could we not...

00:56:26.167 --> 00:56:28.625
send Zhukov's tanks

00:56:29.458 --> 00:56:31.667
through the breach towards Berlin...

00:56:32.292 --> 00:56:34.833
via your front?

00:56:36.792 --> 00:56:41.250
Comrade Stalin, that would take time
and create confusion.

00:56:41.625 --> 00:56:43.750
Besides, there's no need for it.

00:56:44.042 --> 00:56:47.542
We can turn both of our
tank armies toward Berlin.

00:56:49.333 --> 00:56:50.500
Alright.

00:56:52.042 --> 00:56:53.042
I agree.

00:56:59.292 --> 00:57:01.833
- Put me through to Rybalko.
- Yes, Marshal.

00:57:03.750 --> 00:57:08.458
This is why people say that tank
generals cannot fit in the turret.

00:57:09.208 --> 00:57:13.083
That must be your fifth cup,
Comrade Rybalko.

00:57:13.375 --> 00:57:14.792
Are you counting?

00:57:15.667 --> 00:57:16.833
"Thunder" here.

00:57:17.500 --> 00:57:20.000
General,
Marshal Konev's on the line.

00:57:23.000 --> 00:57:24.333
Yes, Marshal?

00:57:24.667 --> 00:57:26.833
What are you doing, Comrade Rybalko?

00:57:27.125 --> 00:57:31.125
Well, you see, I'm fighting for...
Friedrichshain.

00:57:33.000 --> 00:57:34.500
We have new objectives.

00:57:35.000 --> 00:57:36.167
What?

00:57:37.042 --> 00:57:38.625
Wait a second, Marshal.

00:57:39.167 --> 00:57:42.667
Tell them to stop firing
and let me talk.

00:57:56.208 --> 00:57:57.708
Yes, Marshal.

00:58:00.167 --> 00:58:05.667
Your orders are to turn your tank
army towards Berlin from the south.

00:58:06.083 --> 00:58:07.083
Is that clear?

00:58:07.542 --> 00:58:09.208
Yes, Marshal.

00:58:10.250 --> 00:58:12.458
Push on to Berlin.
To Berlin!

00:58:13.208 --> 00:58:15.667
Turn the army to Berlin, yes sir!

00:58:19.375 --> 00:58:20.500
That's a real job!

00:58:25.375 --> 00:58:26.625
Lelyushenko.

00:58:28.042 --> 00:58:34.000
COMMANDER OF THE 4TH TANK ARMY
COLONEL GENERAL LELYUSHENKO

00:58:34.500 --> 00:58:36.125
Yes, "Maple" here.

00:58:37.208 --> 00:58:39.500
General,
Marshal Konev's on the line.

00:58:41.292 --> 00:58:42.792
Yes, Marshal.

00:58:44.208 --> 00:58:45.042
Yes.

00:58:46.125 --> 00:58:47.167
Yes.

00:58:48.167 --> 00:58:49.542
I understand.

00:58:52.792 --> 00:58:54.375
Yes, Marshal.

00:59:12.333 --> 00:59:16.708
General, we got the little bastard.
He was shooting from the attic.

00:59:17.208 --> 00:59:19.625
Why were you shooting,
you son of a bitch?

00:59:20.583 --> 00:59:22.042
How old are you?

00:59:26.167 --> 00:59:27.250
Fifteen.

00:59:28.500 --> 00:59:29.875
You got a mother?

00:59:37.333 --> 00:59:41.333
Take him home.
Let his mother give him a thrashing.

00:59:42.125 --> 00:59:43.417
Yes, General.

00:59:54.375 --> 00:59:57.000
We've been ordered
to turn towards Berlin.

01:00:00.833 --> 01:00:05.417
BERLIN
April 20

01:00:58.542 --> 01:01:01.708
Gentlemen, allow me
to introduce to you

01:01:02.792 --> 01:01:05.208
my friend Eva Braun.

01:01:05.833 --> 01:01:09.417
She has been living in seclusion
and, perhaps, in safety.

01:01:10.417 --> 01:01:12.250
But in these difficult times,

01:01:14.500 --> 01:01:16.750
she has chosen to share my fate.

01:01:19.500 --> 01:01:22.708
My Fuhrer, happy birthday!

01:01:24.500 --> 01:01:29.708
I'm happy that all of us, the
old guard, are with you, as always.

01:01:32.417 --> 01:01:33.458
Thank you.

01:01:34.250 --> 01:01:38.042
My Fuhrer, your loyal SS troops
send their congratulations.

01:01:38.458 --> 01:01:41.583
On this day, as always,
they march in your honor,

01:01:41.583 --> 01:01:44.083
only not in a parade,
but under enemy fire.

01:01:48.167 --> 01:01:52.750
My Fuhrer, I'm happy and proud
that at this historic moment

01:01:53.042 --> 01:01:55.500
I'm here with you in Berlin.

01:02:03.458 --> 01:02:08.042
My Fuhrer, today the Reich's movie
theaters are screening a film

01:02:08.125 --> 01:02:11.583
that was made before the war
for your 50th birthday.

01:02:12.042 --> 01:02:14.750
Perhaps we, too,
can celebrate the day

01:02:15.042 --> 01:02:17.792
by watching this historic film?

01:04:04.167 --> 01:04:08.750
My Fuhrer, the Russian artillery
is firing at the Reich Chancellery.

01:04:11.500 --> 01:04:14.417
My Fuhrer,
I have to be at the Luftwaffe HQ.

01:04:16.000 --> 01:04:18.792
Goodbye, my Fuhrer,
I will keep in touch.

01:04:19.125 --> 01:04:22.750
I'm off to join General Wenck
so we can free Berlin together.

01:04:37.250 --> 01:04:43.750
ON APRIL 21, TROOPS OF THE 1ST
BELORUSSIAN FRONT BURST INTO BERLIN

01:05:04.833 --> 01:05:05.833
Stop!

01:05:10.250 --> 01:05:13.583
We've been hit, Captain!
It's the tracks!

01:05:43.333 --> 01:05:44.792
Damn it!

01:05:45.500 --> 01:05:46.917
Just our luck.

01:05:52.500 --> 01:05:55.417
- How long will repairs take?
- At least an hour.

01:05:55.500 --> 01:05:57.708
A break for lunch, Captain.

01:06:02.042 --> 01:06:04.292
Dorozhkin, go find the owners.

01:06:05.000 --> 01:06:07.000
Reassure them, and all that.

01:06:45.500 --> 01:06:46.833
Freeze!

01:06:52.500 --> 01:06:54.000
Soldier's greetings.

01:07:02.417 --> 01:07:03.917
"Hands up" and such.

01:07:04.250 --> 01:07:05.750
Not verstehen, old man.

01:07:06.250 --> 01:07:09.458
Put your hands down.
Calm down.

01:07:09.500 --> 01:07:12.417
I was just trying
to speak German, your language.

01:07:16.333 --> 01:07:18.125
Put your hands down, I said.

01:07:31.458 --> 01:07:32.792
Stay calm.

01:07:33.792 --> 01:07:35.250
Everything's fine.

01:07:54.500 --> 01:07:56.750
Dorozhkin, where are you?

01:08:01.042 --> 01:08:06.042
Captain, I've carried out your order
and reassured the owners.

01:08:09.583 --> 01:08:11.042
I see...

01:08:12.417 --> 01:08:14.625
They sure look happy.

01:08:16.750 --> 01:08:20.292
We're sorry,
but we have to take a break here.

01:08:32.208 --> 01:08:34.750
A fine Russian appetizer, old man.

01:08:37.167 --> 01:08:38.667
What do you think?

01:08:53.625 --> 01:08:54.625
What did he say?

01:08:55.792 --> 01:08:57.292
Do we drink or not?

01:08:57.750 --> 01:08:58.583
Hold on.

01:08:59.458 --> 01:09:00.625
Just a minute.

01:09:01.583 --> 01:09:02.583
OK...

01:09:06.500 --> 01:09:10.708
"Forcing a water obstacle..."
That's not it, damn.

01:09:10.750 --> 01:09:12.167
"Hands up..."

01:09:21.458 --> 01:09:23.583
Hel-lo.

01:09:23.792 --> 01:09:25.042
Hello.

01:09:29.458 --> 01:09:30.792
Heal-th.

01:09:32.250 --> 01:09:33.583
To your health!

01:09:33.750 --> 01:09:37.250
It means "To your health".
Your health!

01:09:54.500 --> 01:09:56.167
Why the long face, old man?

01:09:59.625 --> 01:10:01.042
Ma'am.

01:10:10.500 --> 01:10:12.750
I don't usually drink.

01:10:12.833 --> 01:10:13.833
But...

01:10:14.792 --> 01:10:16.458
A toast to the ladies...

01:10:17.708 --> 01:10:18.792
You must.

01:10:33.083 --> 01:10:34.500
Excuse us,

01:10:35.208 --> 01:10:36.708
we have to step out.

01:11:00.375 --> 01:11:01.875
What's going on?

01:11:02.500 --> 01:11:05.125
- Looks like a counterattack.
- Come on!

01:11:53.000 --> 01:11:55.458
On April 25,

01:11:55.625 --> 01:12:01.125
the 4th Tank Army,
outflanking Berlin from the south,

01:12:01.625 --> 01:12:05.000
entered Potsdam.

01:12:10.500 --> 01:12:14.000
On the same day,
outflanking Berlin from the north,

01:12:14.667 --> 01:12:18.333
Bogdanov's 2nd Tank Army

01:12:18.500 --> 01:12:24.375
quickly advanced
to meet the 4th Tank Army.

01:12:59.625 --> 01:13:05.792
COMMANDER OF THE 2ND TANK ARMY
COLONEL GENERAL BOGDANOV

01:13:16.208 --> 01:13:17.792
Stop!

01:13:19.000 --> 01:13:20.333
Stop!

01:13:21.708 --> 01:13:23.000
Stop!

01:13:25.458 --> 01:13:27.000
Why did you pull back?

01:13:29.500 --> 01:13:31.833
Why did you stop?

01:13:45.375 --> 01:13:48.583
- Where's the battalion commander?
- Killed, General.

01:13:48.625 --> 01:13:51.625
I'm Lieutenant Kruglikov,
deputy political officer.

01:13:51.708 --> 01:13:53.500
They're firing Faustpatroners.

01:13:53.583 --> 01:13:56.667
Can we send the infantry ahead
to drive them out?

01:13:56.750 --> 01:13:58.708
Faustpatroners, eh?

01:13:59.333 --> 01:14:01.917
Where am I
supposed to get an infantry from?

01:14:07.625 --> 01:14:09.083
Listen.

01:14:10.167 --> 01:14:11.458
I'll stay....

01:14:11.500 --> 01:14:15.042
I'll stay right here
until you find me an infantry.

01:14:15.167 --> 01:14:17.625
I don't care how,
just get it here!

01:14:17.667 --> 01:14:19.208
Is that clear?

01:14:19.500 --> 01:14:20.833
Then go ahead.

01:14:31.625 --> 01:14:35.125
Are you a student, Lieutenant?

01:14:37.000 --> 01:14:40.458
- Where are you from?
- From Moscow, General.

01:14:41.500 --> 01:14:44.875
I was in college,
but I never graduated.

01:14:46.500 --> 01:14:47.917
Doesn't matter now.

01:14:49.583 --> 01:14:51.833
You'll graduate soon enough, now.

01:14:54.125 --> 01:14:56.042
Unless you want to be a general?

01:15:02.500 --> 01:15:06.250
- General, we brought sappers.
- Polish infantry, General.

01:15:09.083 --> 01:15:13.833
Sergeant Ryazhentsev,
sapper platoon commander.

01:15:18.292 --> 01:15:20.667
Listen, Sergeant,
and you, Lieutenant.

01:15:20.708 --> 01:15:24.750
My tanks have stopped, look.
There are Faustpatroners ahead.

01:15:24.833 --> 01:15:29.625
Strike those devils so hard,
they'll remember us in the afterlife.

01:15:29.708 --> 01:15:32.208
- We'll try, General.
- Is that clear?

01:15:32.375 --> 01:15:34.583
- Yes.
- Go ahead.

01:15:35.792 --> 01:15:39.458
Get up guys!
Let's go!

01:15:58.542 --> 01:15:59.542
Go!

01:16:30.167 --> 01:16:31.292
Hey, guys...

01:16:32.292 --> 01:16:34.792
It's a zoo, a real zoo!

01:17:09.500 --> 01:17:11.667
Hold fire.

01:17:14.500 --> 01:17:15.833
Antelopes!

01:17:17.250 --> 01:17:18.375
My goodness!

01:18:19.167 --> 01:18:20.542
Just look!

01:18:42.625 --> 01:18:44.208
Why?

01:19:14.792 --> 01:19:16.083
Follow me!

01:19:43.750 --> 01:19:46.708
- What are you looking at?
- Lions.

01:19:54.208 --> 01:19:57.042
- Should I shoot?
- Don't shoot animals.

01:19:57.208 --> 01:20:00.333
Only the two-legged ones.
Follow me.

01:20:00.500 --> 01:20:03.167
Pass through the lions.

01:20:03.500 --> 01:20:06.042
- What does that mean?
- Just ignore them.

01:20:42.375 --> 01:20:43.833
That's really something!

01:20:46.833 --> 01:20:50.792
Look at him.
The unperturbed philosopher.

01:20:51.333 --> 01:20:53.625
He's seen it all, he knows it all.

01:20:54.250 --> 01:20:56.833
- He's lived 300 years.
- Yeah...

01:20:59.375 --> 01:21:01.250
Sergeant, come here.

01:21:02.375 --> 01:21:05.458
I'm headed to a medical station
to dress a wound.

01:21:05.500 --> 01:21:08.208
Sapper platoon commander
Sergeant Ryazhentsev.

01:21:08.417 --> 01:21:11.375
- What's that?
- Germans wounded her.

01:21:11.500 --> 01:21:14.208
After we drove the Nazis
out of the zoo,

01:21:14.500 --> 01:21:16.583
I heard some crying.

01:21:16.750 --> 01:21:18.708
Then I spotted her in the bushes.

01:21:18.792 --> 01:21:22.542
She let herself be caught.
Her eyes are so human.

01:21:23.000 --> 01:21:25.417
We shared my medical kit.

01:21:25.500 --> 01:21:28.333
Please, let me take her
to the medical station,

01:21:28.500 --> 01:21:30.833
or she'll die here.
It'd be a pity.

01:21:31.000 --> 01:21:34.208
Alright. Tell them Marshal Konev
gave his permission.

01:21:34.667 --> 01:21:36.292
Our ancestors, after all.

01:21:36.500 --> 01:21:39.000
- Yes, yes.
- That's right.
