The Devil's General Page #4

about you, you'd be embarressed.

- Harras is the best ...

- After the Fhrer, of course.

...and then there's a big space between them.

And now that you've personally met old Harras.

You're a little disappointed, aren't you?

Not what you expected in a general...

...and not even a party member.

Well, on that point we differ slightly.

But, essentially, there is no difference.

How is home? And the kids?

The children! They do not stop growing ...

Klaus is 11 already.

Almost ready to join the Hitler Youth.

I have pictures here.

I must have left them in my jacket.

Can you excuse me?

- Of course.

- Thank you.

You should have seen how happy

he was to see the children.

Barely noticed me, only saw the children.

That is as it should be when coming

home to your children ...

Yes, once you're back home ...

What?

Nothing. Excuse me.

I was just thinking out loud...

Captain Pfundtmayer and three pilots of the squadron Eilers.

Gentlemen.

I have the honor to congratulate

you for your devotion to duty...

...and to welcome you to

our little circle of friends.

Our heartfelt thanks, General.

Pfundtl! Old friend! Each time is better!

Harras, old friend, I say the same of you.

Can I still call you by your first name?

Now that you're an old fart.

We were comrades in the first war.

Yes, the war of 1917.

Where I was shot in the ass.

Then I went to England and Scotland.

But in 1933, I returned to the army.

Captain Hastenteuffel.

First Lieutenant Writzky.

Lieutenant Hartmann.

Oh, so it's you?

Congratulations!

Where have you been?

This is the Baron Pflungk.

I told you about him.

Pflungk, comforting widows and orphans.

Except when on vacation or during air-raids.

Harras must offer us a pleasant evening...

...in his famous propellor bar.

I guarantee you it will be very exciting.

You seems to be very interested

in that, young lady.

Harras, is it true that the waitresses...

...only wear fig leaves at your parties?

If so, I'll be a waitress.

That would be a delight on

a meatless meal day.

Eat...before it all spoils.

It's Hermann.

Cloakroom!

Please, go to the Fridericus room.

The Reichsmarshal has just arrived.

General, if you have a moment ...

I think not.

What does he want with me?

The singer Geiss would like to talk to you.

Go check your jacket. I'll wait here.

- I beg your pardon!

- I beg your pardon.

Hello, Olly.

I must speak to you today, Harras.

- What?

- Not here.

Can you come to my house later?

I'm only staying here fifteen minutes ...

What are you looking at?

I will be at home later.

I have guests.

Bring them with you.

The house will be full of people

because of the premiere party.
