Sacha, drop that right now.

It's loaded.

This way, comrade Commissar.

Thank you, comrade.

Good evening.

Comrade Zaitsev?

My God, where does

all this mail come from?

From all over the country,

Mrs. Filipov, from all over.

This one's from the workers

of the Kouzbass.

They want to name

their mine after Vassili.

Right, let's start

with the miners.

Come on,

let's get to work.

Dear comrades

from the Kouzbass,

- Kouzbass.

- I thank you for your letter of praise.

- Praise?

- R-A-I-S-E.

And... I hope that

I can live up...

to your expectations...

A-T-I-O-N-S.

Expectations.

You're interested

in German literature, Mrs. Filipov?

It's all right,

it's our neighbor.

- Right, where were we?

- Tania, we have guests.

Your offer to name...

I...

I-I recognize you.

He's Vassili Zaitsev.

I saw your picture

in the paper.

Thank you

for every thing you're doing.

- And this is his friend, Commissar...

- Danilov.

Danilov.

Tania is like

a daughter to me.

She used to take care of Sacha

when I worked at the factory.

She even taught him German.

All these books are hers.

- Oh, they're yours?

- She studied German at the university.

- Which university?

- Moscow.

Moscow. Moscow.

Shouldn't we, uh...

Yes, let's continue.

Your offer to name

your mine after me...

is... a great honor.

H-O-N.

Yes, I know.

Honor.

Very good.

Shouldn't we make the point that

I'm not the only one fighting?

That... That's excellent...

excellent idea, Vassili.

- We can take it even further though.

- Oh.

We can take it further.

Your battle for

the production of coal...

is as worthy as mine.

There's no "K" in coal.

Just-just one "L"

Oh, tell me if I'm going too fast.

- No, you're not going too fast.

- You sure?

I just thought is there

any other improvements?

Why don't you get some rest?

These letters can wait until tomorrow.

We should carry on.

We're not tired.

Thank you, Mrs. Filipov.

These people...

took the trouble

to write to us.

Tomorrow, we may not

be around to write back.

Major Konig,

Herr General.

I was expecting

someone...

else.

Certainly not someone

so prestigious.

I imagine you have

your reasons...

for getting your self involved

in this hellish situation.

My army is not designed

for this kind of fighting.

Yesterday, yet again,

I had to promote...

shot down by their sharp shooters.

Those snipers are

demoralizing my people.

This city is no more than...

a heap of ruins.

But the fuehrer's persisting.

He has made it a personal matter

between Stalin and himself.

We should trust

the fuehrer's instinct.

He always managed to

lead us to victory.

We shall be back home

for Christmas.
