stunned back home.

Mine still locks like

a young girl...

Can't wait to have someone

to cuddle again.

Life looks quite different

in the morning.

You don't know what it means.

You don't have a girl.

Yes, I have. Since last night.

Good evening!

Dear comrades,

let me introduce you

our much beloved...

"Forget-me-not!"

Today I wear my cutest dress.

I just feel like it.

Just take a look

The front side is simply delicate.

And even the posterior side

has something for the audience.

Fanfare! It's May and I am there

and all now shout:

Veronika, yes!

When the little daisies bloom

Violets and mignonettes

You have to kneel in front of me

and talk to me of love!

And how aroused you'll be

when I passionately

will look into your blue eyes!

When the little daisies bloom

I will be your wife!

No night can ever be so fine

as any day in May.

When he'll see me in

the light of day

no doubt, it will wet

his appetite.

And I blow, lovestruck and harsh,

already in secret the wedding march!

Fanfare! Tara! Chi-boom tara!

And all now shout:

Veronika, yes!

When the little daisies bloom

violets and mignonettes

You have to kneel in front of me

and talk to me of love!

When the little daisies bloom

You will be my bride!

- Boys, that's quite something...

- Hot stuff?

You know how to live at the Front

you got the hang of it.

Look at that.

Give me fire.

That's some... Christ!

Shut up, you!

Who are you?

Replacement battalion.

You think you're getting a bargain?

That's how it is here.

It's always the same.

So what, that's great.

Just wait...

It's not the same in the trenches.

Quiet!

Hello! Hey!

Stop for a moment, will you?

What is this? It's my turn now!

Again!

Have you ever seen

something like that?

I'll play alone.

A little bit...

- No, I want to play, too.

- You? - Yes.

Ah, then we'll both play.

Well, good.

He fell down!

He can't even sit on a chair!

- Can we play together?

- Play together?

Let's play it once more.

Good, let's play it once more.

- Now come on, come on, play!

- Yes, yes, I'll play.

- Come on! I was only joking!

- Joking?

Come on, now.

We'll play something else.

Let's play another piece.

Hello! What's it like out there?

We will stick it out.

When are you getting to Paris?

Why don't you drop in our

regular haunt?

What miserable existence! You can't

get anything with that money.

You have to get something on the

quiet. If not, you kick the bucket.

Can't you leave those kids at home?

They will catch a cold.

At home? Mother works all day

in the factory.

Hey, hey!

Can't you queue up

like the others?

What's the matter, silly cow?

Don't push!

- Say... Adolf? Is he dead?
