It's hard to escape from hell.
The current population's
around 1.5 million.
That's not too bad.
Tell your men to be ready.
They are.
One of my platoons
is checking the time-switches.
It'll take 15-20 minutes.
Then the platoon leader will call you.
His name?
1st Lieutenant Hegger.
Where is he?
I'd rather tell you that in private.
Bressensdorf...
Keep an eye on Mr. Lanvin.
Don't let him go anywhere.
Yes, sir.
Where is he?
At the parliament building,
the Assemble nationale.
General, my task is complete.
I request permission
What?
You want to go?
With your permission.
1st Lieutenant Hegger
will lead the operation.
We are needed elsewhere.
Immediately after France fell,
to show his architect, Speer,
the city he admired most,
especially the Opera,
his favorite monument.
They went around it twice.
So why destroy it?
Hitler wanted Berlin
to be as beautiful as Paris,
and bigger.
Now, four years later,
Berlin is in ruins,
while Paris
is as glorious as ever. See?
It's unbearable for him.
Even if it serves no strategic purpose,
Paris must be flattened,
especially the Opera.
Choltitz.
Berlin?
I'll hold.
I was cut off.
Put me through to Berlin, will you?
Morning, General.
Consul?
I'm not interrupting, I hope.
I didn't hear you come in.
To be honest, I didn't knock.
May I?
I thought you'd left Paris.
How did you get in here?
Your hotel
is admirably located
in the heart of the capital but...
You have no idea of its history.
Of this suite, in particular.
What are you trying to say?
I didn't come through the lobby.
Nor through that door.
I know, very rude,
and not a habit of mine.
I needed to see you unseen.
Explain, Mr. Nordling!
I hate riddles.
In Paris, every hotel has its secrets.
The Crillon, Ritz, and the Meurice.
When you moved in,
you had 200 rooms to choose from.
You took the only one
with a false bottom.
A false bottom?
Have you ever heard of Elisabeth Aryet?
- Who?
- Elisabeth Aryet.
And Miss Howard?
Never mind.
They are one and the same person.
Miss Howard was her stage name.
It's an old story but still very juicy.
Around 1860, she took
numerous minor parts in plays,
and some evenings,
lovers to her bed.
One of her lovers
lived not very far from here,
over the road in the Tuileries Palace.
He was Napoleon III.
In France, power
and affairs of the heart don't mix,
especially involving an actress.
But he was fond of her,
so he moved her in here.
And to ensure greater discretion,
he issued orders
to build this staircase.
