Was haben wir hier denn erwischt?
- Very nice.
- Ja. Midshipmen's quarters.
- Very nice and spacious.
- Mm-hm.
- You will be with 29 other officers here.
- 29?!
Yes. When we meet our supply ship,
all officer prisoners will be transferred here.
Oh.
I'd better pick my corner first.
We are taking you home for Christmas.
Oh, that's jolly. When?
Oh, sometime. Soon.
From the tailor. Kapitn Langsdorff says
you put them on, you come on deck.
There she is.
Our supply ship.
- Hier kommt die Leine.
- Unterstehen!
- Los! Mach! Mach!
Los, Jungs!
- Zwei.
- Da.
Pull. Pull.
Pull. Pull.
Lutze, hast du Kaffee fr uns?
Ja, besten ersatz, Mensch.
Good morning.
Good morning, Captain.
Kind of you to let me come on deck.
I thought you might be interested.
Ja, das ist gut.
Es! Es! Er wars! Er wars!
I am.
Der Sack ist geplatzt.
Rosinen, Mensch!
Rosinen, Mensch.
For you, Kapitn.
Go on.
Take it.
Thanks, I will.
Looks as if Father Christmas has arrived.
Yes.
Fresh meat, green vegetables, fruit,
and some fuel.
Captain Dove, Santa Claus.
Alt...
Altmark.
Not very well camouflaged.
Now, we do things much better.
For example, we rig this up for neutrals.
One day, I am the Deutschland.
Herumwenden.
The next, I am the Admiral Scheer.
Neutrals always report what they see,
so I keep your Navy interested.
I'm like a pretty girl. I change my frock,
I change my hat, I am a different girl.
This is going to be my new funnel. Canvas.
And over there, a new turret. Wood.
Leutnant Hirth!
Wo ist das Buch, Jane's Fighting Ships?
Hier, Herr Kapitn.
Oh. Jane.
Yes, Jane. A very useful publication.
- That is our new silhouette.
So that's why you've got a number
painted on your bows.
- Do you think you'll get away with it?
- Enough to avoid recognition.
Five minutes at 28 knots makes all the
difference between in range and out of range.
There are only two things to remember
Good intelligence from shore, so that you know
what to expect when you see it.
Good spotting on your own ship, so that
you know what you see when you expect it.
Talking of silhouettes,
I must congratulate you on your tailor.
- That's not bad.
- Thanks.
I want you to look your best, Captain.
I'm transferring to the ship
all the officers who are prisoners on the Altmark.
Oh? May I ask why, sir?
Yes. The Graf Spee is being relieved by...
...another vessel.
We've finished our turn of duty.
Three months, Captain.
We're going home for a bit of leave.
I must take my prisoners with me.
You'll have company tonight.
Weg da, Papa.
Aber nur immer mit der Ruhe.
