Battle for Castle Itter

Mein Fuhrer?

Drell army, they enter the city.

Mein Fuhrer, Reichsleiter Goebbels would like to meet with you.

Slow down, Herr Heidler. You're making me nervous.

Nervous?

We're concerned you will lose to me again.

Probably.

Heidler, is it true?

Is this everything?

Yes, it is. Get me those papers.

Commander Heidly, is the car ready?

Yes.

You're leaving?

And the other guards?

I'm the only one left.

What about your prisoners?

You can't just abandon us.

You and the rest of the prisoners are released and free to go.

To go where?

Hitler might be dead, but as far as I know, the German army has not yet

surrendered. How are we supposed to go back to France?

You two are former prime ministers and highly decorated First World War

soldiers. You led France and refused to back down Hitler first in baby Europe.

But I'm sure you can figure out how to lead a castle full of your people

the Germans.

Make sure everything's destroyed.

Understood. And leave.

Move!

If Wimmer left us, then we are completely unprotected.

Wimmer is scared.

Well, let's tell all the others.

And we are now on our own.

Hitler. I'm sorry, Andrei. I'm sorry.

Looks like dear Hitler has the vent, huh?

Andrei, we have to gather all the rest of prisoners.

What happened?

You were right.

Hitler is dead.

Run, you coward!

Run back to your dead Fuhrer!

Andrei!

Lower your voice, please.

Why? Why shouldn't we celebrate our captain's death?

These are marvelous news. We are free!

No, Ante, we are not. Not yet.

Audrey, the war is not officially over.

The Nazis are without a leader.

You can cut the head of a poisonous snake, but that doesn't mean the venom

suddenly loses its potency.

Christine is right.

We can wait.

So do we do here? Shall we sit and look over the walls who comes first out of

the forest?

Americans or the Nazis?

Do we flee and hope the Nazis don't see us?

There are over 100 of us here.

Are the Americans yet here?

In Tyrol?

I ran into one.

What? And you didn't tell us?

And for what reasons should I tell you?

Edward.

We should find that American.

Maybe they can help. How?

To aid us in the Nazis' attack, or even to help us leave.

Anything.

I will go.

I will go.

You, Andre? Yes.

It would be one of my many errands in the market.

I'm a chef. It's what I do. Nobody would question me.

Hey, I'm not going to die if there are just few days left in the war. And if I

am, it is not going to be because I accepted my fate lying down. It would be

because I fought for my freedom.

Brave man.

Right.

Right.

General would only forget the number of Germans under his command.

General Ford said that the number of Germans spread forward numbered perhaps

between two and four hundred thousand.

So now we approach the end of war in Europe today for the American armies and

the Allied forces.

This could mean that very soon all our boys will be out of danger.

Clear!

Clear!

Thank you, General. Nice with the Luger, Captain.

This war, absolutely.

What is it?

A little bit of home.

I don't know why we're still doing this.

Cross disappeared the moment Hitler died.

Don't trust him.

Germans?

I thought you said your grandpa was German.

Nazis. There's a difference.

Told you that in confidence.

Meant nothing by that, Captain.

Hell, the war's almost over.

Just waiting for a good old Uncle Sam to say as much.

So you're thinking of thinking of the military or going to go back to

Football.

Feels like a lifetime ago, Harry.

I'd pay to see that.

All right.

Let's pull out. Call up the men.

Time to mount up and move out, boys.

Where are you coming from?

Oberführer, SS Obersturmführer Riemann has abandoned his post at Castle

Ytter. The guards are leaving.

And you fled like cowards.

Handler? Sir, the radios are down. We're trying to reach help to contain the

prisoners.

So, this is the reconnaissance mission.

The famous gas liter.

How many prisoners remain?

Around 100, sir.

And they've been kept alive during the duration of the war?

As per our orders from the Reich Templary.

Yeah.

High -value prisoners.

And who is there?

Two French prime ministers, two war commanders, also from France.

Jean Bourotra.

French, I'm bad.

Jean Bourotra?

The Ténitard?

Yes, sir.

Yeah, yeah. I watched him play at the Germans International.

in 28.

He defeated us.

So, Menning Heidler, you abandoned your post and

left these high -value prisoners alone?

Not you left these high -value prisoners alone!

We proceed to catch the leader.

How

long?

Morning.

Maybe even earlier.

We need reinforcements.

Andrei is seen to that.

And if he fails...

Remember Captain Schrader? Of course I do.

One of the numerous guards here at Iter.

He's now part of the resistance.

So you want to bring him back here to Iter? But to what end?

Okay. I have informed the others.

Thank you, my love.

Edouard isn't wrong.

Captain Schrader is an enemy.

He's part of the resistance.

And he is willing to fight for all of us.

And who will you send out to the wilderness?

I'll go.

You are not young.

And this is not like the hunger.

I will go with him.

Two old men venturing out to fight Nazis.

Not too old.

And not to fight Nazis.

To convince...

Former Nazis to fight for us.

Time is running out.

So if we are not back by nightfall, please, Christine, hide everyone in the

basement.

So maybe if they come, they will think that we abandoned the castle.

You are abandoning the castle.

Christine.

Christine.

Christine.

If I could think of... Any other way?

I don't want you to die.

I'm doing this because I don't want you or anyone else to die.

No, you're doing this to make amends for past discrepancies.

No, there is no repentance for me.

This is just about saving us until the end of the war, and this is so close.

We have suffered too much over the years, and I don't want to lose us.

Thank you, my love.

Your business?

I'm a chef at Castellitter. I'm on my way to the town to get supplies.

Andre.

I apologize. I didn't recognize you, my friend.

It's good to see you, my friend.

And you.

Sorry, Andre.

It's complicated.

We can't really trust anybody.

Could you before?

This is different.

This is desperation.

Everyone is panicked.

Andre, smoke?

Yes, please.

You picked a good day to come into town today.

The bakery has many loaves of fresh bread.

Actually, that's not why I come to town today.

Let me guess.

You heard the Nazis are making their way towards Hitler.

So you come asking for help from your favorite German resistance fighter.

Actually, I was on my way to ask Americans for help, but if you can...

are slaughtering our resistance fighters outside of Tirol.
