The Ogre Page #6

Whole rows, as if mowed down

by one machine-gun volley.

Get your coats and sweaters

and blankets, too.

Why?

And all the food you can find.

What's up?

- Leaving?

- We're leaving.

They told us nothing but lies.

There'll be no victory.

All the officers are gone already.

Even Raufeisen hasn't

been seen for days.

He's fighting the Russians at the border.

The Russians have already

crossed the border.

They could be here any moment.

We could go into

the forests or the lakes,

take our canoes.

I know a cabin in the woods.

We could...

we could hide there

Until they... they send

reinforcements.

You speak like a traitor.

No, I'm not a traitor.

But we can't stop the Russians.

We are the forefront

of the Fatherland.

When the moment comes,

the Fhrer will put his

secret weapon to good use.

We'll hit them from above

and from below.

We'll crush the Bolsheviks

like cockroaches.

We must attack at the right moment.

When the... when

the Fhrer decides that...

Whoever has the will to win can't lose.

And we have pledged

our lives to the Fhrer.

We will never surrender.

We... we could hide

our weapons,

and if we're... if we're caught...

Only rats would leave like this.

All of Germany's looking at us.

No army ever took our castle.

Throughout the century

it held its ground

and so will we.

Listen, if we're caught,

we say that we were on...

Victory will be ours!

...a school expedition.

Sieg heil!

Sieg heil. Please.

Sieg heil,

but we must hurry.

You'll all be killed.

Like... like Lothar.

They'll... they'll... they'll burn you.

You're... you're just children.

You'll never see your parents again.

Parents?

We have no parents.

We belong to the Fhrer.

Still gestanden!

Kompanie kehrt!

Kompanie marsch!

We're leaving right now.

Everyone.

Abel!

Traitors should be hanged.

He's just a Frenchman.

Yes. He isn't even one of us.

Help me.

Close the gate!

Close all the exits!

Man the machine guns!

Get the mortar ready!

Position men on the main tower!

The time has come.

The castle is now on alert.

The enemy is nearly here

and he is bringing us back victory!

We will fight them!

We beat them! We kill them!

The castle will never surrender!

Never!

- Heil!

- Sieg...

To your battle stations, boys!

Hurry up! Hurry up!

Abel, what happened to you?

Let's see.

No.

I've got to clean your wound.

Abel, listen.

Some tanks. Russian tanks.

Go now! Go now!

Who are you?

Abel?

What are you doing here?

Who's that?

A Jewish child?

There's a Jewish child here,

in our castle?

Nyet! Nyet! You'll be fine!

Nyet! Nyet!

You'll be fine!

Stay down!

Down!

Take cover!

Surrender!

The fortress is surrounded!

Don't shoot! It's a school!

We surrender!

Don't shoot!

Surrender!

Don't shoot! There are only children here!

You are surrounded!

Don't shoot! We surrender!

- Don't shoot!

- Kaput!

Don't shoot. There are only children here!

Abel! No!

Don't shoot! We surrender!

Stupid idiot!

You must surrender!

Ohh...

Don't hit the school! Don't shoot!

Achtung! Feuer!

It's jammed! It's jammed!

No!

No!

Ach!

Ephraim!

Come. Let's go.

No, not now. Come. Come!

Hey, let me finish my...

- Hey!

- Come on.

Hapurim, hapurim...

...ha yeladim

No! No!

No!

Hanukkah...

Don't shoot! Don't shoot!

Don't shoot!

Don't shoot! Don't shoot!

Don't shoot! He is friend!

Don't shoot! Don't shoot!

He's a French prisoner.

Don't shoot!

Don't shoot!

Don't shoot!

Aah!

Aah...

Go, go, and do not look back!

Go, Abel!

Don't look back.

Go!

Don't look back!

Do not look back, Abel.

Hinei ma tov umanaim

Hinei ma tov umanaim

Abel, stop!

You can't do that!

Forget it!

Abel, you can make it.

Go, go.

Please. Go, Abel.

The boy is so heavy.

Whenever I begin to let myself sink

In the frozen mud,

I... I...

remember a story.

Once upon a time that...

Our priest had told us in school.

Once upon a time there was a...

a sailor who was in this storm at sea.

He was afraid to die a sinner,

and he took upon his shoulders

a young boy...

and hoped that by saving

the young boy,

he would save himself.

That the...

the child's innocence would serve as a

recommendation to God's favor.

So he told us...

remember always

You are under the sign

of St. Christopher.

You are a child-bearer.

Hinei ma tov...

Remember, as long as

you carry a child...

you will be able to avoid harm

by taking shelter

under the mantle of innocence.

And you will go through rivers...

and you will go through tempests...

and you will go through

even the flames of sin...

and then...
