Those given tasks ran the camp...

... pulling wool over our eyes

Even some German foremen were

in with the gang

He's not here

- What do you mean?

- The Capo sent him to hospital

- Who's this?

- He can take his place

- Another one of your tricks?

- No, the other may have typhus

Decent Germans are at the front,

not hiding in a camp

You stinking coward

In 1936 I fought in Spain. I didn't get

this uniform for cowardice

- Do you know the job?

- Yes, I do

I let it go on

In the battle we fought...

... I knew that cunning was

more effective than brutality

They played at love, thinking no

one knew. They had no right to

But I knew, and if you know

what someone really cares for...

... and you can give it

or take it away...

... you are the master

I keep getting reports of theft

Confiscated items are Reich property.

Prisoners are stealing, trading...

Yesterday a woman prisoner was

caught lifting boots from the store

Today we found some buried gold

Ober, a simple soul, an idealist,

was bewildered by such things

Yet in the end she said

something sensible

"We must win the confidence of

chosen prisoners and establish order

"Only the best in the garrison

and the best of the prisoners...

"...can restore this camp's

proper character"

This idea was not new to me

Overseer Weniger wishes

to take command

Unfortunately, I had moments

of weakness, too...

... and Marta was able to take note

Even dogs have temptations

they can't resist

Major, Inga's pet, was extremely

fond of cheese

He wasn't to know he would

soon pay for that

A brat!

Lmpossible. I'll have a look

Do you trust her?

I'd better check

What a lovely brat it is!

Another stupid joke

by the Special Command

I was humiliated.

Because of my weakness...

... Marta involved me in

a dirty business...

... an accomplice in an effort

to save a Jewish child

Then the fight for Marta, against

Marta, began to excite me

It's my birthday today

No one here remembered

my birthday...

... no one gave me such flowers

The roses came from

the SS greenhouse

Prisoners from the men's camp

worked there

I decided to begin the attack...

... let Marta know that

I could give her Tadeusz...

... like a sweet

for being a good girl

Thank you, Madam Overseer,

but it's impossible

Anyway, I'm not all that keen

to see her

Still here? They're waiting!

Hurry up!

He's got urgent work

at the Commandant's villa

You know, Madam, we've got artists

here from all over Europe

That's his girl...

sketches for a medallion

He longs for her, but they can't meet,

as you know

I was close to mastering Marta

I told her to take the numbers

of those by the wire. She didn't react
