The White Rose (Die weiße Rose)

This is Munich Central Station.

The incoming express train from Stuttgart via Ulm, Augsburg terminates here.

Everyone off!

Hello. - Hans!

If you knew how happy I am. (laughs)

Little Sophie.

Congratulations. - And this is Traute.

Welcome. - Thank you.

You can't address Traute formally.

You're crushing the flowers.

What was that? - I was just checking something.

May I see your ID?

I’m her brother.

What are you doing in Munich? - Studying.

But you live in Ulm.

I’m just starting. - Open your backpack.

"Gimmeldinger Seespinne."

Heil Hitler.

So, did you arrive well? - Greetings.

Greetings, Mrs. Grossmann.

Mmm.

Well.

Do you like it here?

I’ll unpack right away.

I’ll secure this right away.

I just want to say goodbye.

I’m going to my sister-in-law's in the country.

Do you need anything? - That’s very kind, thank you.

You also have a soft spot for this crazy stuff.

It's fine with me.

Are you also studying medicine? - Biology and philosophy.

Your fiancé?

Handsome guy. Like my Helmut.

He was in the infantry, but only a private.

Is he in Ulm? - Caucasus.

He’ll be home soon. With Russia, it’s just a matter of time now.

If only that were true...

My Helmut fell in Russia.

In the first days.

Now I’m all alone.

Hans is very organized. It takes ages to find anything with him.

I’ll be going now. - Thank you.

You can unpack later. He’s already gone ahead. - Where to?

Where are we going? - You’ll see.

This is Alex.

Schmorell.

And me? - If Hans sees this.

Come in.

Willi Graf. Happy birthday. - Thank you.

Do you live here? - I wish. No.

The studio belongs to a friend. He’s currently in Krakow.

We’re looking after it. And we work here from time to time.

Work? Alex considers himself a great painter.

Our beloved Führer once thought the same.

May she live high, may she live high, three cheers!

May she live high, may she live high, three cheers!

Hans. Is this mine now? - Of course.

1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7... 8... 9... 10... 11... 12...

Abracadabra.

There he is again. - Yes, we’re very generous.

My "Gimmeldinger Seespinne."

The student loves luxury.

Hans usually eats at the barracks. For free, without coupons.

Now I’ll take you to a fantastic philosophy lecture.

What? - The professor's name is Huber. He’s colossal.

Can I even go in there?

There are no tickets. Everyone goes there. Even the med students.

Why are you whispering? - You get used to it here.

Leibniz was one of the first to define the most modern concept of the state

of the 17th century.

He strongly opposes the notion

that the concept of the state is based on the power of the ruler.

The ruler, regardless of the form of government...

I’m delighted to see anyone interested in Leibniz.

Even if it’s late.

The ruler is the first servant of his state.

The state must constantly change and develop.

And the goal of politics is

to constantly recreate the state,

to acquire, to fight for it.

Friedrich! - Here!

Furtwängler! - Here.

Graf! - Here! - Horn! - Here!

Jäger! - Here!

Should I let them know that I’ve finished the books now

and maybe include the invoice...?

Schindler! - Here! - Schmorell! - Here!

What’s the matter? Scholl? - Here.

Wagner! - Here!

Wittenstein! - Here!

At ease!

Student leader Berger will now say a few words to you.

While we continue our studies,

our comrades are performing hard service for our fatherland

on the fronts in the Baltic and the Atlantic,

at the North Cape and the Nile for us. Never forget that.

As members of the student company,

you enjoy countless privileges compared to your fighting comrades.

You, as future doctors and scientists, have high responsibilities...

You live like princes, and I have to live in this rabbit hutch.

I don’t understand you, Willi. It’s all very comfortable.

Besides... "In the barracks, you eat well."

The door’s stuck! - Occupied! - Brothel’s overbooked!

Furtwängler. - What’s wrong with the door?

If we want to go to pathology, we need to go now. - Without me.

You could show up every now and then.

We’d rather go to Huber. - Too tight.

I’m going to pathology. - Me too.

The door’s stuck. - Occupied! - Brothel’s overbooked!

Two days in the bunker for everyone!

Glad you're here. Hi, Christoph. - Hi.

How long are you staying?

I wrote to Herta that my train leaves shortly after six.

I want the kids to still be up.

You can stay with Willi if necessary. He’s always so alone.

I suddenly got leave. Do you have time?

Alex absolutely needs to go to pathology.

The door’s stuck! Occupied!

Brothel’s overbooked!

Attention! Medical Sergeant Schmorell, Graf, Scholl, room 7, fall in!

And you? - Medical Sergeant Probst, Innsbruck.

Where did you get that doomsday shave?

It’ll be gone by tomorrow, understood?

If it helps.

Vincent Hermann Matthias, do you wish to be baptized?

Yes. I do.

Papa...

The passage on the purpose of humanity? Yes, look. Here.

"The state itself is never the purpose. It is only important as a condition

under which the purpose of humanity can be fulfilled.

And this purpose is the development of all forces that people love."

What’s wrong? - There’s coffee.

So, folks, there’ll soon be some real coffee.

Should I really help myself again? Thank you.

You had a slaughter today. - Move along. Anything else?

I want to see the stable.

Go, Richard.

We have a baptism. I ask you. - There will be a complaint.

Don't act up.

You don't want it any other way.

Wait, Richard.

We have a baptism.

A baptism. - What does the farmers' leader want?

Do you believe it now? - (Man) The coffee is coming.

It's been smelling all this time. - (Man) I've been smelling it for a long time too.

Hello.

Because of that one sow, Göring wouldn't have starved either.

Werner!

They arrested Papa.

Shh!

Lüttge reported him. - Who? - Why? Papa's new secretary.

Because he said, "Hitler is a scourge of God."

We might still catch the last train. - No.

I have the timetable. - I have to go to Willi.

What's Willi got to do with it? - I have to let him know.

Mama needs us now. I want to go to Ulm right away.

We're leaving early tomorrow morning.

Have you eaten anything?

Sophie will make you something. I have to go out again.

Oh, Werner.

Those pigs.

Until this is somewhat back to normal.

Gestapo methods.

You need to find someone right away to take over the law office.

Nice that you're finally back again.

At first, they didn't want to let us see him at all.

He looks terribly bad. They interrogated him all night.

Fritz, what a surprise. Are you staying longer now?

I have to put together a new news unit. Hello, Inge.

How long are you staying? - Thursday or Friday.

Go ahead, tell us.

We could hardly talk. Someone was always there.

Dr. Kraus from the Chamber of Commerce could help him.

We have nothing to do with Nazis.

He's in the party because he has to be in his position.

All the worse. - Do you know of anything better?

Dr. Kraus is a Nazi. We don't negotiate with him!

Headstrong. Just like your father.

How often did I warn him...

He only spoke the truth.

That's the least... - That was enough.

No, it's not enough! You have to write it on all the walls.

Isn't it enough that your father is locked up?

Papa wouldn't agree with Dr. Kraus either.

It wasn't easy for us when you were in prison back then.

I knew what for. - You're only thinking of yourself.

I was so scared. - Let it go now.

Hans was 16 back then. You can't hold that against him now.

Was that child's play?

You saw it very differently back then. - That's not what Inge meant.

If that man can do something for your father...

We don't have to beg anyone for mercy. - Enough now!

He's right. - Yes.

I wanted to say that in the last hour.

A foreign fellow student pointed out to me

that there's still a volume by Sigmund Freud in the library.

It apparently survived all the purges.

I advise you to grab the book quickly.

You will protect your fellow students from un-German thoughts.

Back to Leibniz's world plan.
