The Downfall of Berlin: Anonyma Page #4

And that he doesn't care

about anything else.

Other than the Germans, the Russian

men really appreciate educated women.

But the war hasn't ended yet.

Excuse me.

Have you got a minute to spare?

We could use your help.

Come on, kiddos,

let's get out of here.

We will finish building

this tower of yours.

That's him.

Good day.

You Russian?

Translate.

The German army came to my village

and killed all the children.

They have...

...stabbed them to death,

took their bodies at the ankles...

Continue!

...and smashed their skulls...

...on the walls...

...of the houses.

Have you heard that?

Or did you see it with your own eyes?

I saw it.

Hey! Why so fast?

Have you forgotten your panties?

(Russian)

(woman) You speak Russian,

so tell him he needs to stop that.

You speak Russian, right?

Move it, you slut!

Go.

(Music)

(Russian)

Where are you going?

I've been waiting for you.

What's wrong with you?

Comrade Major!

The old Germany is coming to an end.

Stay away from him!

He is coming to me,

not the other way round.

Go away.

Why?

You Germans have hanged his wife.

(Music)

(Announcement) Attention! On April 30th,

He deserted all of us who have

pledged allegiance to him.

Following the orders of the Fuhrer,

you still believe it's your duty

to defend Berlin although

the supply of heavy armory,

ammunition and your position make

this fight utterly pointless.

With every hour you continue to fight,

you prolong the horrible suffering

of the civil population of Berlin...

and our wounded soldiers.

From now on, everybody who

dies in the battle for Berlin

will have sacrificed

their lives in vain.

In accordance with the leaders

of the Soviet army I prompt you

to cease all fighting immediately.

Breitling, Artillery General and

commanding officer of the Berlin defense.

Fellow soldiers and officers

of the 8th guard army.

This morning,

the Berlin garrison...

...has capitulated.

Berlin...

is defeated.

I've told you we would make it!

(Russian national anthem)

(Undiscernible)

(Soldiers singing the

Russian national anthem)

I'll join my fellow Germans.

Go to Siberia?

What about us?

Talk to me, Friedrich, please!

Talk to me.

I've been waiting for you.

I have prayed and hoped,

prayed and hoped.

No I want you to fulfill

some of those hopes for me.

(cheering)

Hurray, comrades!

To our victory!

Berlin is defeated!

To our home country!

Long live the Red Army!

Long live Stalin!

(Lieutenant)

Hold on, wait a second.

What have we here?

Two halibuts.

- That's incredible.

- Hitler, Goebbels, kaput.

That's great!

Let's drink.

(piano music)

Capitulation.

The time has come.

The war is over.

Us women have been looking

forward to this day so much.

So how does it feel?

Bitter, bitter defeat.

More and more people report

gruesome things.

I sense an alien, hard-to-grasp

something in the air,

mean and threatening.

I don't want to think

about that right now.

(Russian)

It's over.

I don't know...

I'm afraid misfortune has still

some tricks up its sleeves.

(Russian)

Do you hear that?

They drink and smoke like men.

There are 1 million women

in the Russian army.

They come from everywhere.

We don't have uniforms for them.

Boots are too big.

Shirts and jackets, a disaster.

Once a woman came to me,

Ljuba was her name I think.

She says:
"Comrade Major,

I believe I will fall today.

"I want new clothes." I say:

"No, you are with us a long time.

"Bullets just avoid you."

Two hours later, she comes again.

And again. Then I tell her:

"Then the new shirt,

with ties white as snow,

it would be spoiled by the blood."

All female soldiers fear that when

they die, they don't look pretty.

Are you a fascist?

What are you looking for?

All occupied.

And the battalion commander?

That's what I like

about you Mongols.

Not a single unnecessary word.

since I've been in this war.

And now...

And she...

she's a whore.

Am I right?

This whole place...

is a brothel!

(door opening)

You come with me.

Move it, you pig.

A pistol, huh? Bastard!

Peace, huh?

Don't!

War kaput!

I said, move it!

Everybody downstairs.

Hurry!

All of you, downstairs.

Hurry!

Faster.

Quick!

Don't move.

Where you get weapons?

Whose apartment is that?

Who?

It's mine.

Is that hers?

It's hers.

That is crime against

decree of Red Army.

Long live the Fuhrer.

Eliminate her.

You can all go to hell.

Did you know about weapons?

- No.

- Go back to apartment.

Shoot them all!

Go now.

Stop.

They're liars, all of them!

Shoot them.

Leave this woman.

She is a Hitler broad.

Do you understand?

No.

First she will be interrogated.

Do you understand?

What are you doing, brother?

This woman has sheltered

an armed soldier.

The punishment for that is death.

Go, now!

I'll have to report this.

Burn them alive!

How could you risk our lives like that?

Now we are sold down the river.

(Russian)

Traitor!

I own whole Berlin! Hotel Adlon,

Wedding, Kaiserdamm!

Red flags everywhere.

Red flags.

Pretty flags, good quality.

What is it?

Quarrel?

What are you looking at?

Get out of my sight.

Hey, what's up?

To victory, Commander.

To Stalin and our victory.

Wait.

You should stay with your people.

The war is over.

Here! I get it.

Look...

Lyoba, Marina, Olga.

They love me,

all of them.

Everything all right?

Do you want something to eat?

Here. What's better? You tell me.

His dick or my bicycle?

And you, get out of here...

before I shoot your nuts off!

You, listen!

We celebrate.

Everybody come, whole house.

Order!

Your Hitler is not human.

He is a stinking pile of turd.

Not human.

Turd!

Lenchen, Lenchen!

Trouble upstairs!

(Andrey) Everyone, come now.

Order!

Fill the glasses.

What are you standing there?

We've got guests.

Why fear?

(Music)

Look down there.

What do you see?

Soldiers.

Russians! Beasts.

Or animals, like you call us.

And you're right.

None of us is hesitating a single

second if we can shoot a German.

Your blood is on our uniforms.

Is good as it is.

None of them wanted war!

Most of them didn't even

know what that is, Germany.

Now come with me.

What is happening here?

Careful, that's mahogany.

Let me go!

(Russian)

- You dance. Dance!

- How dare you?

This is my living room

and not a dance hall.

You understand?

- That is fantastic.

- No dance hall!

Drink Schnapps, Vodka.

Schnapps good.

You.

Sing? Now he wants me to sing.

I won't sing now.

- What does he want?

- Well, have a guess.

No.

What does that mean, "no"?

That is Europe!

That is Europe!

Drink, drink.

Why not?

I'm looking at you.

And you?

Nothing.

Well, maybe next time.

To you.

I Anatol.

- I know.

- Brbel.

My heart calls Brbel.

Brbel, Brbel, Brbel.

(Music)

I play the fiddle.

Violin. Violin?

You play the piano?

In an orchestra,

but not any more.

The violin is lost.

That's good.

I'd like to play the piano, too.

Why don't you go upstairs?

- Should I?

- Yes, have some fun.
