If Churchill thinks he's done us in, he's wrong.

Not while we're dancing.

Stop jabbering and sit down.

- Boy, Hilde. You're really drunk.

Things are really hopping here!

Who ... who are these people?

Girlfriends ...

They are all girlfriends.

Look at that brave soldier!

- Happy New Year.

Look at that.

Say, Sweetie. Is that your spouse?

Happy New Year, darling.

Jesus, Lilly.

This is what I call New Year's Eve!

Happy New Year!

I'm what you might call the host.

May l, Mrs. Jger?

Nice to see you.

Your life is wonderful, Felice.

You're free.

Where are your parents?

Dead.

- I'm sorry.

My God! Excuse me. I'm really sorry.

I'm sorry. Please, excuse me.

Want to see someone

who always does the wrong thing?

Here I am.

Felice?

Yes?

Why do you mean so much to me?

Ilse and Gnther are kissing.

Isn't that funny?

Ilse and Gnther!

What kind of game are you all playing?

What kind of game?

Felice ...

Do you want to see me?

He wants to steal those kids!

The first, second and third

try to escape, but they aren't able to.

Where were you?

- Out walking.

Alright, stop!

Attention! Eyes straight ahead!

Forward march! And get dressed!

The first to finish

gets to see photos of my unit.

Good morning.

Come into the kitchen.

Real coffee! Just for us.

That Ilse!

Happy New Year.

Know what I don't understand?

Why men are so susceptible.

You have a wife and kids. Everything's great.

Suddenly an Ilse or a Kthe

or whatever she's called

comes and looks at you.

She just looks at you. And you think,

"Damn! Hands off! Taboo!"

But she's still there.

You women don't know what it's like.

You need a man to guide you,

a man with a sense of responsibility.

But you have no idea what it costs, Lilly.

Dammit! You know

it doesn't mean anything to me,

but I have a hard time saying "no."

It has nothing to do with you.

What? Nothing to do with me?

You're not even jealous?

Not even angry?

Lilly, do you know

why I came back yesterday?

I wanted to tell you on New Year's

that you're a wonderful woman

and that I'd do everything not to lose you.

Here, this is my unit.

Since all hell's broken loose out there,

I know what I'm capable of.

What?

I'm the kind of guy who comes back.

I look at my comrades,

and I know who won't make it.

Just before I left, one guy got

half his skull blown away.

He looked at me and said, "Oh man, Wust.

It was all too short, huh?"

You have to duck fast, Lilly.

That's the secret.

Send the older kids to the country.

Who knows what'll happen.

- Daddy!

Now, now. Don't cry. Not my big boy.

When I'm not here

you're the boss, okay?

Come on. Lie down. It'll be okay.

Go to sleep.

Sleep tight.

The Russians sing all night long.

We're going to win, Lilly.

We'll win!

... Germans are capable of overcoming

mental and physical obstacles.

The German people have demonstrated

their strength in the past years.

Without a doubt, they will emerge

from this tremendous war

as the most glorious people

of all time.

Of course, our victories in the early

war years were even more glorious.

But this year

we have to prove ourselves.

We have to prove to ourselves

and to history

that we have the strength

to overcome the biggest obstacles

and we won't fail.

Our courage and our stamina

will be strengthened.

And this we have done.

May I come in?

Felice ...

Please, don't hurt me.

I'd better go.

- I'd die, if you did.

You are Aime ...

and I am Jaguar.

My sweet, sweet girl.

Calm down.

How beautiful you are.

So beautiful.

It's all my fault.

Do you feel safe?

Should I stop?

It's too much, Felice.

It's too much.

I can't stop trembling.

I can't either.

We're both trembling ...

It's a trembling contest.

Schragenheim!

Watch out!

Get in the back, Grandma!

- Hands off! I can do it alone.

Mrs. Schragenheim ...

back there on the right.

Miss Felice Schragenheim was here

3 days ago. What does she call herself?

I don't know.

- What does she look like?

Dyed hair ... dyed blond hair.

Where does that door lead to?

The house next door.

- Go next door!

Calm down, calm down.

Everything's alright. Come to me.

It will be morning soon.

You're here.

You're here.

Say it again.

I love you.

Okay, my little bear.

We'll take care of it.

Alright ... That's it.

Oh my goodness. Take over here.

Just stir, right?

Not too slow, not too fast. I know.

I'm so proud.

- Of what?

- Of you, the kids, myself.

I don't know why, Felice, but since

you're here, everything makes sense.

Don't say that too often, or I'll run away.

I know you'd come back again.

Oh yes? Why?

Because I watch you all night long.

You keep tossing and turning

until I take your hand and calm you.

I'd rather you sleep.

- Why?

Before I never slept,

because I was alone.

And now because you're here.

Hold it with both hands

and look through here.

- Yeah.

See anything?

- Yes.

Now take the picture ... Good.

- Me, too.

Can you see anything?

- Yes.

Your mom?

- Yes.

Smile! Take the picture ... Good.

My beloved Felice,

my beloved kitten,

even if you keep slipping away

and I worry greatly, I must tell you how

much I love you. Ever since you started

padding around our apartment

with your fat paws, I've been so happy.

My beloved girl, my whole life I've thought

I was wrong, a good-for-nothing.

But now I know that everything was wrong

so I could meet you.

I waited and you came.

I thank you for that.

My intelligent, dark-haired girl.

Do you know how beautiful you've become?

We'll be together for a long time.

Our happiness has just begun.

It looks good on you.

It's okay, it's okay.

12 o'clock, Felice.

Stop nibbling on everyone.

Our birthday girl is waiting.

Lilly! Lilly!

Happy birthday, my sweet.

To Berlin's sweetest housewife.

All the best, Lilly!

Congratulations, Lilly.

To Lilly! To Lilly!

Don't be afraid, my little girl.

I'm by your side.

There are no enemies here ... only us.

Do you love me?

Very much.

More than your life?

At this moment? Now? At this moment?

Yes.

Lilly!

No!

No!

The Wehrmacht's Supreme Command

reports that last night

the enemy began their long-awaited

invasion of Europe.

It was initiated by invasions

of our coastline ...

I came back for your birthday

in the middle of war.

What are you doing to me?

My wife is queer.

I'm out in that filth. Everything is

falling apart. You don't know nothing!

You can't take everything away from me,

you perverse piece of sh*t.

What do you think we're fighting for?

What's on our mind?

You and the kids are all I have.

Nobody's going to take it away from me.

Not even you.

A person can get used to anything:

death and everything.

But what I saw upstairs

in the apartment is ...

the worst!

Go up there and show them

what a wife and a mother is.

Go up there!

And I'll forget I ever saw it.

Gnther, I've never loved you.

That's news to me.

I want a divorce.

You don't know what you're saying.

You never knew what you wanted.
