It is late summer of 1942. The 6th Army of General Paulus is quickly approaching the strategically important Town

of Stalingrad. It will be the bloodiest battle of the century.

Porto Corvo (Italy),

August 1942.

Hearts are trump.

Yes Lieutenant.

It must go on, always go on.

Can't drink that warm sh*t.

- You are completely in the sun.

- Put up or shut up.

Sit down.

Excuse me, Lieutenant.

No, you have to play spades,

not Hearts.

Keep going, Rollo.

May I rub you down?

- That's mine.

- no no.

- Who's got the trick?

- Me.

When are you going to throw

away this camel piss?

That's a goodbye present.

You can get one for 10 Mark.

For that i'll plant a plum

on your head.

You always have better cards,

and i am so horny.

We should leave him in the

hospital.

I think it was YOU who got hit

on the Head and not him.

This will be our last day here.

- We are playing.

- His wife will sh*t bricks.

Lupo!

He is not allowed to drink.

- He's got a headache anyway.

- That's a fine wine.

What time is it?

One o'clock. We can still go

to the whorehouse.

When I see these women here...

- And the present for your wife?

- It'll be quick.

Roll Call.

Calm down.

Roll Call. Damnit.

That's my bottle.

Be Careful.

(singing) Italian Wine!

I can't see.

That's a shitty watch you are

trying to sell me here.

It's water proof up to

You still have to wind it up.

We'll take him.

Take the chair.

We'll take him.

And my coat?

Come on guys, quick!

- And my coat?

- His coat?

Watch out!

Soldiers:

In the name of the Fhrer

I have to tell you:

You have accomplished

a big deal in Africa.

You have pushed back

the English to the Nile.

The Assault Pioneers played

a crucial part in this success.

You were chosen,

because you are the best.

Never forget that.

Now there are new tasks

awaiting you.

But before you

become part of a new elite

unit in the homeland,

the Fhrer is going

to decorate you

for your special merits

during the heavy and victorious

Battle of El Alamein.

Men, this is the new leader

of the first platoon

in the second Company:

Lieutenant Von Witzland

come here.

The selected men may step forward

to receive their Assault Badges.

Battalion, attention!

Lieutenant, award your men.

What is the excuse for your

delay?

I visited your predecessor

in the hospital.

Heroes are never late.

Remember that

next time.

Corporal, you want to be honoured

in this array?

- Yes, sir.

- Don't award him.

Battalion, stand at ease!

Dismissed!

Assault Pioneers, get ready

to move out in 30 Minutes.

Battalion, fall out!

Don't go away.

Take me with you.

Move on.

Viola!

Ciao, Viola.

Eh, Fritz, Grande amore?

When are you going to marry her?

Beloved Klara, Russia.

between us.

A huge distance.

You won't be able to

write me letters.

Of course you can keep writing,

but it will take a long time

until your letters reach me.

Will it be bad?

If it were for you

I would sit now in the office

of your father

and not in a box wagon.

Forgive me and try

to understand my happiness.

The uncertainty is gone.

My life has got a function

and a purpose.

I had enough of it and you

had trouble with me.

But the melancholy vanishes

as i come closer to the front.

And there are strong emotions

appearing inside me.

Feelings for you are burning

inside me.

If you could see me now,

between all these

glorious warriors.

My subordinates,

who I already love.

Here I can only prevail because

of proficiency.

You would turn up your nose at

the smell here.

Are you stupid?

You should give him ten.

Come off it.

Lupo played better than you

even with a loose screw.

He's a newbie, everybody loses

in the beginning.

Roland simply hasn't got a chance

against me.

(heavy accent) Hey, these are mine!

German, do you speak it?

Where is this f***ing

Train going?

How about Stalingrad?

It's alright, we beat Ivan.

We'll take it in three days.

Make a stupid face. Thanks.

It seems as if the train hasn't

even moved during the last hours.

Yeah, it's a huge country.

We will divide it between us

after the war.

I have already ordered ten b*tches and one hundred

hectares for me.

Here?...

...Not even as a present.

- Then stay in your piss village.

Look at that!

They are already working

for us.

Go go go!

Faster!

- What is "faster" in russian?

- "Davai".

And "Ruki verkh". That's the only thing you need here.

Adolf is building highways for me

to Kirkov, or whatever

the f***ing name was.

This country is crying for trucks.

Enough, Reiser.

Awesome, how the Herr Lieutenant

is sitting with us in the straw.

May I ask you a question?

Please.

Is that your first tour?

- Everybody has to start small.

- Well in this case, have fun.

I bet:

That I will survive this

War and you won't.

What do you bet?

In your case... two

boxes of water.

ok.

How would he be able to pay you?

It's nice here.

Perhaps this isn't Stalingrad.

Shall I carry you, Russian pig?

Come on now!

Move! I said MOVE

you f***ing dog!

What's the matter with you?

Stop that!

I have to protest

against the behaviour of

your men.

Well, protest then.

Protest to the Fhrer at best.

Lieutenant Witzland

Assault Pioneer, Battalion 336

Welcome to Stalingrad.

So now we finally have gathered

all the specialists together.

May I introduce you to Sergeant

Pflger. You arrived from...

...from Voronezh.

It's good to have you here, Lieutenant.

Let's show 'em.

- Cigarette?

- Thanks.

May i report an incident at the

loading bay?

I already heard about it. Do

you like the Russians?

Forget about it.

The men are to take

ammunition and hand grenades.

After that:

briefing for the company leaders.

Your uncle, the colonel, is

a good friend of mine.

He has asked me to take care of you.

"Gott mit uns" God with us

is written on the belt

of the German soldier.

I didn't even notice that.

Because there is no better

task than

defending the christian,

occidental culture

against the eastern

bolshevism.

And because of that the German

Soldier is NEVER alone,

as opposed to

the Russian soldier

who has no place for God

on his belt.

Even if he is deep in enemy

territory.

Mller, go!

Yes, sir.

They are firing on their own Men!

F***ing artillery!

down!

They are nuts.

Don't panic boys, follow me.

This is our hall. We have to

take this objective.

We'll begin with their MG emplacement on

the right.

The Russians have respect for

our 88mm Guns

- Nothing visible?

- That's always suspicious.

Here, captain.

We are at Frieda

Cease fire.

Where are the 5 assault guns?

I don't see any, as always.

at your command

Herr Major.

Everything is clear up to Target

Fire only at command.

And keep quiet.

Is that clear?

Come on, men. Follow me

F***!

Feldmann, you idiot.

It's not my fault.

Now everybody knows we're coming.

I'm sorry.

Sh*t!

Erwin!

Nothing can be done for him, he's kaputt.

Take cover!

They are better then ours.

They never jam.

Chin up!
