- Don't shoot.

- No weapons! We surrender!

Get up! Get up!

- Take the prisoners away. Now!

- Get up, everybody.

- Two and two, behind me.

- Come on! Forward.

March!

Does anyone

in your group speak German?

- Gram.

- I speak German.

- Das isn't nicht notwendig.

- "That's not necessary."

Ich bin Oberleutnant Becker

Von der 170. lnfanteriedivision.

"I am Lieutenant Becker

from the 170th infantry division."

- Second Lieutenant Sand.

- Das isn't Leutnant Sand.

Sie unterstehen meiner Obhut und

werden in die Kaserne gebracht.

"You are in my charge and you

will be escorted to the barracks."

Ich htte eine Frage.

Warum um alles

haben Sie so lange gekmpft?

He wants to know

why we kept fighting.

I don't understand. What do you mean?

Es war nicht notwendig, dass so

viele das Leben lassen mussten.

Ihre Regierung

hat bereits kapituliert.

It was an unnecessary waste of lives.

Our government

had already capitulated.

Das wussten Sie nicht?

Didn't you know that?

No, I did not.

When did we capitulate?

Wann haben wir kapituliert?

- Vor ein paar Stunden.

- A couple of hours ago.

Gut. Sie knnen gerne in meinem

Wagen mit in die Kaserne fahren.

You can ride with him in his car

to the barracks.

Thank you, no.

I'd like to go with my men.

Nein, danke. Er mchte gerne

mit seinen Mnnern fahren.

I understand.

It was both disappointing -

- and good

that it was over so quickly -

- so not a lot of Danes fell.

We were forced to surrender.

We were no match for the Germans.

Of course we didn't like it.

We didn't want them to

just come and take our country.

Killing people is not something

you can be proud of.

That's what it's about.

The more you kill,

the easier the victory is.

I can't shake it off,

because there were things, -

- I thought were a bit tough.

But...

There's nothing

to be done about that.

Nothing.

It was something I got through.

My dad knows all my friends.

He said:

"I'll tell you one thing."

I would rather hear -

"- that Frode had fallen

than that you didn't put up a fight."

You're alone.

No girlfriend, wife or kids, -

- so if the worst thing

should happen, -

- it wouldn't be so bad after all.

The top brass obviously said:

"It was not in vain."

But the price -

- was too great for some.
