Georg Elser - Das Attentat Page #2

---

Shall I tell this to

the Reichsfhrer SS?

There's this breed

from the Swabian Hills...

That guy is merely a puppet.

Just look at his physiognomy,

his eyes.

He's not some naive idiot.

The man knows what he wants.

He may be a country boy, but he's

not lacking ideological conviction.

And the evidence

is overwhelming.

The Fhrer doesn't want evidence,

he wants a written confession.

Goebbels needs it for the press.

I'll pull out every one of his teeth

to make him sign if I have to.

You saw that he

won't budge.

Are you telling me

how to do my job now?

Your lot should have

known about this sooner.

Now where is that list of

the arrested relatives?

I'm asking myself how an ethnic

German can hate our Fhrer so much

to carry out such a

despicable attack.

And on November 8th,

of all days.

Now look who's joining us, Elser.

Come in!

Evening all.

- Ernst, a beer and a kirsch!

- Beer and a kirsch, coming up.

No. Erich has had enough.

Two orange sodas, please.

What's it going to be, Erich?

Soda or the usual?

The usual, you dumbass!

Thank you.

Shall we get some fresh air?

That's Elsa.

She's married.

Those are the best ones.

This seat is taken, Eberle.

We found another dead

hare in a sling today.

In the woods,

near the Itzelsberg.

- That's above my field.

- Piss off, Eberle.

I'll give you a good kicking

if the poaching doesn't stop.

The dance is called a tango.

It's from South America.

It's very close, almost sinful.

Watch.

One...

One, two, tango step.

One, two...

Something like that.

I'm Georgie Elser.

You're Elsa, aren't you?

I'm going back to my Erich.

Hans, a round,

time to celebrate!

So, what was

the percentage?

The NSDAP is the biggest party

in the Reichstag with 44%.

Come, Lore.

Let's go.

The Reds lost.

What do you say now?

There you go.

- Come on, let's go.

- No, I'll finish my drink.

There you go.

To our Fhrer.

Sieg Heil!

Sieg Heil!

Sieg Heil!

- Quiet, we're playing cards!

- Hang on.

We'll have no shouting here.

- Who's shouting here?

- Calm down.

Stay calm.

Calm down.

Let's stay calm.

Schurr, you'll be the first to be

strung up once we seize power.

And you'll be shot

after the revolution.

Idiots.

You've been to Konstanz

and Switzerland?

- Yes.

- Did you go to the cinema there?

I saw a picture of Jacqueline Wells

in a magazine.

She's so beautiful in

"Tarzan the Fearless".

They say she's wearing

hardly anything in that film.

That would interest you,

of course.

Just die, you bastards!

Sons of b*tches!

Why did you leave?

You've been fighting with

the Nazis for years. For what?

Musician!

Go home and pray.

Dirty pacifist!

- So what?

- Shut up!

You're a coward?

Yes, maybe I am a coward,

because violence has

never achieved anything.

Elser, now tell your girl

here why you did this.

Did you do this, Georg?

Elsa.

Take her away.

Where are they taking her?

That's entirely up to you.

Our Father who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done

on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day

our daily bread,

and forgive us our trespasses, as we

forgive those who trespass against us,

and lead us not

into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom,

and the power, and the glory,

for ever and ever.

Amen.

- Elsa...

- Yes?

She has nothing

to do with this.

Will you guarantee

she won't be harmed?

She's not important to us if we

have a confession from you.

If not,

it's a different matter.

My word as an officer.

That means nothing to me.

I can't offer more.

All right then.

It was me.

My name is Elser,

Johann Georg.

Born 4th January, 1903.

Let's begin.

Party membership?

None.

And this?

My Red Front badge.

But I was never a

Communist Party member.

- Red Front.

- Red Front.

Good that you're with us.

WORKERS VOTE KPD

- Josef!

- What?

The H.

- What?

- The H.

- Sh*t!

- Add it!

- Or the Browns will say we're idiots.

- Come on!

Watch out!

Sh*t!

Stop! Halt!

Site security!

"... I joined the Konstanz

Folklore Society. "

Just for the companionship?

I didn't join to pick up girls.

You can meet girls anywhere.

And before you ask, I wasn't close

to any girl from the society.

Of course there

was the occasional...

Why don't you just

admit you're a communist?

No, I thought it was

enough to vote KPD.

I'm sure you were involved in

demonstrations, handing out flyers...

No.

I didn't even attend meetings.

It's highly unlikely

an apolitical person

would plan and carry out an

attack on such a huge scale.

I was a free human being.

Meaning?

You have to do

what's right.

If humanity isn't free,

everything dies with it.

Am I allowed to write

one last letter?

Please, just a few lines to

my fiance and my mother.

Take him away.

MUNICH ASSASSIN CAPTURED

ASSASSIN CAPTURED

That small-time carpenter is trying to

hoodwink us, claiming he acted alone.

Just one man can't construct

such a powerful bomb.

Elser insists he carried out

the attack on his own.

- There's no evidence...

- We won't let criminals call us liars!

The Fhrer wants us to get him

to talk by any means necessary.

- He must say who's behind it.

- Obergruppenfhrer,

it's becoming clear no one

else is pulling the strings here.

You might trigger the Fhrer's reaction

for being soft and failing when it counts.

We don't believe a word of it.

What?

"For 30 nights, I waited until I got

locked in to the Brgerbrukeller.

"I wrapped a rag around

the rear part of the drill.

"I benefitted from the lavatories

automatically flushing every 10 minutes.

"I used the sound

to conceal my work,

then waited another 10 minutes

for the flushing to start again. "

Correct.

A lowly craftsman like you

couldn't build a bomb like that.

Who supplied your material?

For the last time,

who were you working for?

All right, I'll tell you.

We only have two telephones

in the village.

Churchill called

me at the dairy.

The mayor's office would

have been a bad idea.

Churchill called and said,

"Elser, build a bomb to blow up Hitler

for me, we can't do it on our own. "

I can't tell you

what didn't happen.

Just give me pen and paper

and I'll prove it to you!

18, 20...

I'm out.

- Three...

- I'm out.

I'll go for diamonds

if you don't mind.

- Heil Hitler, everyone.

- Heil Hitler.

Hi.

Ah, I see,

voluntary disbanding.

Very sensible.

But if you think that the strike

fund will disappear with you,

you've got another

thing coming.

Listen up,

national comrades.

How about attending the Gauleiter's

rally in Heidenheim later

instead of playing

cards at the pub?

Heil Hitler and good day.

- Heil Hitler.

- Good day.

Ernst, the usual combo.

Coming up.

Tell your Gauleiter there was

another hare caught in a sling.

You can do whatever you like.

But don't complain if it hurts.

That was Elsa.

But let me tell you, Eberle,

she won't talk back anytime soon.

Elsa?

- Elsa?

- Leave me alone.

- Why? - I don't want
