If you don't have helmets,

then it is a serious matter!

But you couldn't be without

this mobile filter.

And here it is!

Do you want to taste?

And you?

Cheers!

That refreshes, that does not make you sick,

but it is disgusting!

A jumper of lady would be said!

You had the cross or the jumper,

with the combat?

A combat close combat,

I imagine!

I had both

One needs more courage

for the cross or the jumper?

I was afraid in both cases...

but for the jumper, alas,

no bloodshed!

You fought hard both times!

Obviously!

As hard as I could.

Kurt Gerstein, of the Institute of hygiene.

You have 500 cans of hydrocyanic acid

in a not=n-protected place.

Only 500?

Vermin pullulates

between Berlin and Moscow.

With a can,

I disinfect a barracks.

If you are bombarded,

any life will disappear here...

They never bombard here.

They leave us in peace.

What do you hope to make?

- It is what?

- Astispumante. Italian.

To conquer half of the world

to drink this wee of cat!

I raise this filth to Kurt Gerstein

who joint with us.

First visit of one of our camps?

Not, of course!

This one is special.

How much?

400 units to be treated.

It is rather horrible...

Not even ten living people

saw what you have just seen.

Let pass to me!

You did not make a reserve,

captain?

All is complete.

Are you sick?

Are you sick?

Even an S.S. can be sick!

I am sorry.

The ambassador of Sweden

is also in the corridor.

The whole world is in the trains.

I am only the embassy attach.

Baron von Otter.

Can you grant me

an audience tomorrow in Berlin?

I must speak to you.

Why not here?

We have all night long.

I saw something...

of appalling.

Of absolutely appalling.

Whole families are exterminated.

Prisoners of war?

Jews.

They exterminate whole families.

They are stripped,

They shave their heads...

even women.

Their heads are shaved?

But why?

Draw the curtains, please!

Lit train,

assures enemy bombardment.

Hold, invoices of Zyklon B.

To eliminate the parasites.

I provide it to them.

And they use it for...

My papers.

No need.

Your government must warn

Americans and English.

So that they release leaflets

on Germany.

Once informed,

the Germans will raise themselves.

It is necessary to act quickly.

Each day that passes...

A few minutes of stop.

Remain in your places.

A short stop,

to let pass a priority train.

If you want references on me,

ask Otto Dibelius,

superintendent of the Protestant Church.
