PROJECTIONIST:
Yes, sir. Roll it.
Wallace goes. The projectionist starts the next reel.
ON THE SCREEN:
a Berlin sequence. Bombs falling. Ruins, acity devastated, empty. Flags of the four allied nations.
Posters of Truman, Stalin, Churchill.
ARCHIVE FILM VOICE
That is the hand that dropped the
bombs on defenceless Rotterdam,
Brussels, Belgrade. That is the
hand that destroyed the cities,
villages and homes of Russia. That
is the hand that held the whip
over the Polish, Yugoslav, French
and Norwegian slaves. That is the
hand that took their food.
Steve watches expressionless.
WALLACE:
Next reel, please.
ON THE SCREEN:
SHOTS of camp survivors. Then SHOTS ofemaciated corpses being bulldozed into mass graves.
ARCHIVE FILM:
Sanitary conditions were so
appalling that heavy equipment had
to be brought in to speed the work
of cleaning up. This was Bergen
Belsen.
The moment this appears, Steve rises and goes quickly.
ON THE SCREEN:
piles of cadavers.INT. MAJOR STEVE ARNOLD'S BEDROOM (I945) - NIGHT
Steve having a nightmare, twisting, turning, moaning. He
wakes with a cry. He is sweating. He turns on the light,
looks at a clock, reaches for a cigarette, lights it. He
smokes. He stares at the ceiling.
Later:
Early morning. Cold. Steve is at the basin in his small
room, shaving. A radio on a shelf.
AMERICAN RADIO VOICE
Remember, men, no fraternisation.
In a German town, if you bow to a
pretty girl or pat a blond child,
you bow to all that Hitler stood
for. You bow to his reign of blood.
You caress the ideology that meant
death and destruction. You never
know who was a member of the Nazi
Party. Don't be fooled. Don't
fraternise.
