Valkyrie Page #3

Synopsis: In Nazi Germany during World War II, as the tide turned in favor of The Allies, a cadre of senior German officers and politicians desperately plot to topple the Nazi regime before the nation is crushed in a near-inevitable defeat. To this end, Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, an Army officer convinced he must save Germany from Hitler, is recruited to mastermind a real plan. To do so, he arranges for the internal emergency measure, Operation: Valkyrie, to be changed to enable his fellows to seize control of Berlin after the assassination of the Fuhrer. However, even as the plan is put into action, a combination of bad luck and human failings conspire on their own to create a tragedy that would prolong the greater one gripping Europe.

but only Fromm can initiate Valkyrie.

Can you get to him?

We're running out of time,

can you get to Fromm?

He's a carreerist pig.

But one who's gone as far as he could go in Hitler's army.

It's no secret he's not happy about it.

Offer him a key position in the new regime.

Make him see the light.

Colonel Stauffenberg,

for General Fromm.

Colonel Stauffenberg, sir. Welcome back.

It's an honor, sir.

I 'd send you to the front, but i think you'd surrender just to be Montgomery's whore.

The General will see you now.

What is it you want?

I wanted to introduce our new man,

Colonel Stauffenberg.

Ah, from Africa.

I'd offer you my hand,

but I might not get it back.

I'd say the General has lost more important things this morning.

It's about time they put somebody with balls into this office.

Please sit down, Colonel.

And you, Olbricht, if you must.

They tell me you're critical of the war, Colonel.

Not that you don't seem to have good reason.

I am critical of indecision, General.

In the field?

- In Berlin.

So that's why you're here, i take it ...

- To make decisions.

- I have already made my decision.

I'm here to help others make theirs.

They say when there's no clear option,

the best thing is to do nothing.

We're at war, we must act.

Sometimes rational.

And what rash action did you have in mind, Colonel?

That would be a decision for the supreme military commander, sir.

The supreme commander?

Second only to the Chancellor.

If I were that man ...

Tis war would be going quite differently.

Well, we were thinking the same, really.

I don't need to remind you

that we've all sworn an oath to the Fhrer.

Having said that, I'm going to forget this conversation ever took place.

In the strict understanding that such talk

never occurs again under this roof.

Is that clear?

You can tell your friends, Colonel, that i

I always come down on the right side.

And as long as the Fhrer is alive

you know what side that is.

Do you realize how close i am to Hitler?

With one word i can make you disappear.

My associates don't know we've been talking, if that's what you are afraid of.

When the SS catch you they will pull you apart like warm bread.

It would be a crime just to have known you then.

I warn you, don't try to contact me again.

You won't report me. Maybe if you had when I first approached you, you might have been keeping your oath.

Now you're just as guilty as the rest of us.

- And i guess that makes me a sympathizer?

Give a man a choice to betray his fellow officers or his Fhrer

And you think his actions will show you his heart.

- It is not that simple.

- Yes..yes it is.

For the last time, don't push me to make a decision.
