DESERTION

Walter! Walter, old chap!

What are you doing here?

- How are you? - Very good, my friend.

- I love Norway. - Yes, life is good here.

I know. I spent eight months in Fredrikstad.

I speak very good Norwegian.

I only speak a little. "Beautiful girl, I love you."

- I have a girlfriend here. - Do you?

Perhaps I can get you a job working with me in the administration.

- Would you like that? - Sure.

EASTERN NORWAY SUNDAY MAY 25TH 1941

a trusty shield and weapon

he'll help us free from every need

that hath us now overtaken

the old evil foe

now means deadly woe

deep guile and great might

are his dread arms in fight

on earth is not his equal

Comrades. That so many of you are gathered here, -

is a realindication -

that you all accept -

your great task, -

- your holy duty in our armed forces, -

as a service to God.

But how, my comrades, -

- can we people, as weak as we are, -

serve God in a true -

and sincere manner?

Are there rules for this?

Truly, I say unto you:

There are rules given to us by the Lord, our Saviour.

Our first rule is obedience.

If we every day with Christian love in our hearts -

have a strong will to obey God, -

then, my dear comrades, -

- we are on the proper path to the Kingdom of God.

Therefore, we must always keep in mind that our national duty, -

- which we have to fulfill in this war, is also a duty to God, -

graciously placed upon us by God -

that we shall fight for His honour.

When we recognize this truth, -

- then we'll also recognize, comrades, -

- that our Saviour, Jesus Christ, demands more of us -

- than our great Führer, Adolf Hitler.

Thank you, beautiful girl.

SATURDAY MAY 31ST

...heavily armed men, -

- in part with modern weaponry and with tanks and supplies.

This entire army has surrendered.

Our quarters were in Jarnina -

- and with great annoyance to the battle-hungry Waffen-SS...

Where are you going tonight, Liv?

Out with Anne. Why?

- Nothing. Just don't be late. - No.

The English had fled south along the eastern coastal roads -

- after having been forced into fierce combat...

YOUTH! THE FUTURE IS YOURS THE STAFF OF THE YOUTH LEADER

- Do you want me to shoot? - Alright.

This is what you get for being the best shot.

- Ready? - Yes.

Now Gunvor will sing -

"A Small Golden Ring".

It is a nice and old custom

when one said "yes" at first sight

to give your beloved a token of the bonds they tied

this nice custom will never be outdated

it follows on through generations

and reminds everybody of the spring of love

a small golden ring

we gave each other

Why don't you dance?

No, not yet.

In sorrow and in joy in our little nest

we shall together live in love, the two of us

it will shine like

the summer sun

and remind us

when autumn comes

that the glory of the world is nothing

compared to the happiness in each little ring

it will shine like

the summer sun

and remind us

when autumn comes

that the glory of the world is nothing

compared to the happiness in each little ring

The goods that have cropped up on the black market in Germany -

- are originally from Norway. Here is the documentation.

We believe -

- that the shipments are organised from warehouses in Eastern Norway.

- Here? In my district? - Yes.

Apparently by people in high positions.

That means that German officers are behind this racketeering.

That's a scandal!

Berlin demands that these scoundrels be found and punished.

You can rely on that.

Your brother is safe in Sweden now.

Yes, I hope so.

If I had been younger, I would have gone myself.

You can't just go to Sweden.

It is their duty to receive us. I could even get a job there.

- Another cup of coffee? - Yes, please.

Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

Too bad.

- I've never met a girl like you. - What?

I've never met a girl like you.

- That's just something you say. - No, I mean it.

You are so... pure.

Pure?

You are so easy to understand.

It's as if I have known you my whole life.

Liv...

You are wonderful.

Will you be mine?

I don't know, Franz.

Everything's so difficult.

Maybe it's best, that we don't see each other anymore.

But you care for me, right?

You know that, Franz.

But if I choose you, there's no going back.

I'll take good care of you.

Please...

Say yes.

What's keeping Liv?

She's probably out with that damn German again.

- Don't be so harsh. - Listen, Louise.

She destroys as much for us as for herself.

I cannot tolerate her failing us like this.

Just try to be patient.

- Where have you been? - None of your business.

Take it easy, now. Let's talk about this.

Will this affair continue?

- I decide who I see. - Not until you are of age.

- We have a responsibility for you. - You can't force me.

Do as we say or move out. I don't want a tart in my house.

LIV'S NEW HOME

- Hi. - Hi.

It's really nice. Here are some things for the party tonight.

- Walter takes care of the wine. - Isn't it risky?

There's always waste in a large camp.

Good luck in your new home.

May the Führer never find out, what his soldiers are up to.

May he never find out about Walter's trips to his officers' wine cellar.

But what will you do, when they find out?

Don't worry. This is too cleverly organized.

Is this something you do often?

- Don't be so boring. Cheers. - Cheers.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

That's for you, Schmitten.

Thank you, major.

- When's the next shipment? - In a couple of weeks.

- But be really careful. - Yes, major.

It would be better if you found another warehouse.

This is too dangerous in the long run.

Your friend, Franz Röder, can he be trusted?

Yes. He's so in love, that he can't think of anything else.

He wouldn't notice if the entire warehouse disappeared.

- It looks good on you. - Why don't you kiss her?

- Easy now. - Faster.

Take off the gogg les, so I can see your eyes.

Good.

Come in.

- You wanted to see me? - Yes. Please sit down.

My dear Röder...

I hear, you're seeing a Norwegian -

and want to get a divorce.

Yes.

You must understand, that it is my duty to talk to you about this.

- But this is a private matter. - No it isn't.

A marriage before God -

- is not something you jeopardize for a casual love affair.

As a national socialist you should know, -

- that marriage is the foundation of our society.

It enjoys special protection by the Führer.

And the Church considers marriage to be a sacrament.

You are a professional soldier and ought to set a good example.

But you have an affair with a Norweg ian, -

- while the mother of your child wait's anxiously in Germany.

Have you ever considered that?

Answer me.

You behaviour is almost treacherous.

I have written to her.

A divorce is a very personal and serious matter, -

that can't be settled in a letter.

I beg of you to think this through carefully.

- Forget this stupid affair. - I can't.

- Why not? - I'm engaged.

What? Engaged?

You can't get engaged. You're a married man.

Come to your senses for Christ's sake.

You are right.

And as a national socialist I understand your point of view.

But try to understand mine.

For the first time I know what true love is.

I can't give that up.

It's stupid to say, that I am a traitor, when I am happy and in love.
