- Nothing. Shut the f*** up.

His wife has an affair.

Don't tell anybody.

F*** you all!

You all hate me!

Especially you, Lieutenant.

You think I'm stupid.

- Leave me alone.

- You are the best.

Without you we would be dead.

You would heve won our bet.

Lieutenant come with me!

Secure the entrances.

Damnit, Wlk, secure

the entrances.

Ivan is everywhere.

We have to go down there.

Reiser!

Yes sir.

We have no connection.

Take the flamethrowers and go down.

The two of us alone?

We come with you. Wlk!

Yes, sir.

If we don't come back, fight

your way out.

Compare your watches. 7 o'clock.

Why me? I'm a radio operator.

Can I come with you?

- Why?

- Perhaps he's a lucky charm.

Alright. Emigholz,

get the flamethrowers.

Get up!

(German) You are surrounded.

If I scream...

you are dead.

And you too.

-Ruki verkh

-"Ruki vyerkh"...At least say it properly.

Dead?

Of course, you are experts in killing.

Shut up or I shoot you.

In that case you go down too.

You won't come out of here alone.

Come with me.

- not this way.

- Don't try to...

Let's make peace.

I help you and you let me go.

Why should I trust you?

I could've killed you.

- With this?

- yes, with this.

One moment!

What's in the other boot?

My spoon.

You want it too?

How come you speak German?

OK. I give you my word of honour

as an officer.

Get me out of here and you

are free.

You go first.

Sure.

Slowly.

- Everything ok?

- Man, Reiser.

We have to keep going.

Reiser, I will never

forget this.

Und what about Emigholz?

- Help me!

- There he is.

My leg!

If he won't be quiet shoot him.

Your leg will be ok.

Well, Mller.

Continue! We have to

get out of here.

Let's get out of this hole!

- Did you see Germans?

- They went this way.

Take care.

Thank you, uncle.

MEDIC!

What's going on here?

Who is patching up the wounded?

The russians broke through.

It is the fault of the f***ing Romanians.

- Get me out of here.

- Stay there.

- I'll bring a doctor.

- My boots.

- Where is the doctor?

- I don't know.

Where can I find a doctor?

Doctor!

- I'm not a doctor.

- You come with me.

Let's go, do your work!

Reiser, put the gun away!

Should he die?

What about the others.

- Go on!

- I am not a doctor.

Shut the f*** up!

Get going!

The doctor is here.

Help me.

Put the gun away!

May I give an explanation, captain?

- Explanation?

- We are coming from the front line.

- Shut up.

- He is our comrade.

Where is Schrder? Where are you?

And my bag?

I demand a report about this

incident.

Of course.

He's dead.

I can't believe this.

All the trouble was for nothing.

You are arrested.

Give up your weapons.

What is going on?

I didn't want to do that.

I want to speak to the General.

You think you're so special,

don't you.

But sure. It's your right.

You goddamn Ivanlover.

Lead them off!

This is the situation, Gentlemen

in brief:
it's f***ed up.

The Russians broke through

our lines the day before yesterday.

And today they managed

to break through in the south.

Now they are trying to close

the encirclement at Kalatch.

So we'll end up in a pocket.

Feel free to smoke, Krger.

Help me. My men have been

arrested.

One was wounded.

Reiser lost discipline and threatened a doctor.

Is that supposed to be a report?

We were encircled.

The whole 6th Army is encircled!

We are talking about a whole

Army here

and you are whining about a

few men.

That's not fair.

The men believed in you and

they fought on.

Are we just a small flag

on your map?

Excuse me, General.

- What is it?

- About the hospital incident.

Some of my men are trying

to force...

...a better treatment

...with their guns.

- Isn't that the young Witzland?

That's an unpleasant story.

Are we going to get court

martialed?

You won't emerge unscathed.

Penalty Battalion, December 1942. The 6th Army has now been encircled for 4 weeks.

You'll get used to it.

What's the matter? Why is

the road

still not finished?

- So much worthless sheet metal.

- Do you like it, Rollo?

Maybe you can touch it?

A**hole. You brought us here.

Save your energy for the front line.

They need everybody.

Everybody on the truck.

Move on!

You too.

But I...

That's an order!

Because today it's Christmas

you will all

get a bit of bread.

But only if you ask for it.

Say "please",

former Lieutenant.

Please.

Merry Christmas.

Get out! Dismount!

They won't reach the front line,

that's for sure.

Get out or I shoot you.

Go ahead. I don't give a f***.

- Stop that.

- Get the f*** out.

Ivan will finish up the rest.

- What the f***?

- Hermann...

What are you doing?

He wanted to cop out.

Get lost!

That's a suicide commando.

- I won't take part in this sh*t.

- Go home then.

I've had enough of this sh*t.

Silence, men!

We are fed up.

Shoot us all.

Doesn't matter who kills us.

Silence!

Listen up!

The Russians are trying to

push us back.

Knight's Cross!

Whe held our line in spite

of heavy losses.

They will try it again

and without you we won't

survive.

Why is this point so important?

We could break out from here

in order to

join forces with the troops

of Colonel General Roth,

they are only a few kilometers

away from us.

Surely you all know,

that we have to get out of

this pocket.

I'm asking you:

Do you want to die starving

without putting up a fight?

Do you want to be responsible

for the death of 300,000 comrades?

Think about it. Is it worth

fighting for?

A great decision.

We'll get out of here.

We will fight together, Captain.

But if you die, we are free men.

Agreed.

We'll give the convicts

a chance to prove themselves.

You will be rehabilitated

after this mission.

Witzland, give me your

word of honor as an officer.

Jawohl.

Alright.

Take your ammunition

and fall into two squads.

Wlk, you are leading 1st squad.

Mller, 2nd squad.

Otto! Wait a second.

We don't have a chance.

Why don't you surrender?

You know exactly what will happen to us.

What did we do?

I'm not a Nazi, Otto.

No, you are worse...

You Officer riff-raff.

You took part in it,

although you knew all along

who you got involved with.

I always said this.

If I survive the attack,

i'm going to forgive my wife.

I made them announce my

death to my wife.

That's the best solution.

But we will come back home?!

Let me tell you a story.

A year ago it was the last time

that I was at home.

Christmas holidays.

Because I had knocked out

three tanks.

My wife and children

were waiting at the train station.

They were like strangers.

She wanted to understand me.

But the more she understood,

the more I hated her.

So i went,

and got drunk. Whatever.

I left for the front the next

day. She approved of it.

Only the children...

I came back just in time before

a major Russian offensive.

That's when I was back

home again.

Hey, stay here. Don't

go to the officers.

We, the blue collar workers

have to stick together.

- I have Abitur (allowed to attend university).
