Stop crying.

I need you. The others need you. Okay?

Be strong. Can you do it?

Yes. I can do that.

You are strong.

I'm strong.

Say it again.

I'm strong.

I'm coming home soon.

I'm coming home soon.

It will soon be over.

Thanks.

Gustav?

Yes.

What are you going to do,

when you go home?

Eat! I just need to eat.

My mother is the best cook in Berlin.

I'm tired of the Danish pigswill.

You must invite us to your home.

Yes, come to Oranienburger Strasse in Berlin,

and you will get potatoes, meat and gravy.

The best.

Yes, the best.

Bloody hell!

Go.

Sit down.

What do you want?

We need more experienced people

at Skallingen.

Yes, but I need them at Ringkobing.

Yes, please.

It's not you I'm talking about.

What are we talking about?

Your German boys.

We need them down there.

People, who can die like flies.

The mines have budged.

It's a place of chaos.

We need experienced Germans.

I wish I could help you,

but they have been sent home.

Mm. That I heard.

Four out of 14 made it.

But they will not be sent back.

I promised, they can go home when done.

And we're done.

All German soldiers must stay,

until all mines are cleared.

And I mean, all.

Ebbe?

I ask you to send those boys home.

Just let them go.

They will die down there.

I understand, Carl.

But I can't. The Order has been given.

It's just four boys!

Now you hear what I say!

If I hear anymore about those boys,

I'll shoot them myself one by one.

They are not good people.

You don't know what is on their conscience.

You lied to me, right from day one.

They are little boys.

Little boys who cry for their mothers,

when they get scared or blow up

arms and legs.

The Germans, Carl.

The order has been given.

Find yourself out.

Thank you for today, Carl.

Shut up!

Ebbe...

That would be all, Carl.

We assume, there are 72,000 German mines,

buried here at Skallingen.

Some of you may have had the luxury,

to detail available cards.

Here at Skallingen we don't have such cards.

Helmut Morbach?

Yes.

Rodolf Selke?

Yes.

Ludwig Haffke?

Yes.

Sebastian Schumann?

Come up.

Come on! Come up!

Get out! All of you.

Come on. Out!

You must go that way.

The border is about 500 meters from here.

And you will be in Germany.

Run.

Run!

After the war, over 2,000 German prisoners were forced to clear

more than 1.5 million land mines from the Danish west coast.

Almost half of them died or were severely injured.

Many of them were just very young boys.
