The Assault Page #4

The boy stays here.

Tomorrow he'll go back to his family.

What's this?

- He will stay here tonight.

Mr. Korteweg.

I have something for you.

A lard sandwich.

Do you like it?

Wash.

Her blood.

You to family in Amsterdam.

For the moment.

All papers are ready, understand?

There, and now clothes for the trip.

There.

Papers.

Take cover.

- Hurry, get out.

Get out.

Get up. The bastard will come back.

Hurry, damnit.

Schulz is hit.

Careful.

- He's still alive.

Slowly.

Come on. Hurry, you.

Wait here.

This boy must be brought

to police headquarters.

Now this. Come.

Take him to police headquarters.

He must be coming from headquarters?

Move on, general.

That was still missing.

We're getting reinforcements, general.

I want to see his papers.

Pull out the crap first.

He looks like a mug from the

Bialystok ghetto.

Give the boy coffee and cookies.

- There are no cookies today.

After an assault in Haarlem...

- There, I think you'll like that.

In which

chief inspector Ploeg was killed...

the SD ordered to kill the Steenwijk

family and 19 others.

The 12-year-old son Anton Steenwijk...

staid in prison that night at

the Heemstede police station.

Isn't that just amazing?

He was in a prison cell with a saboteur...

then he was brought

to the Ortskommandatur.

Have they gone crazy?

Aren't there any orphanages

in Haarlem?

From there he was brought to

Amsterdam, where his uncle lives.

I can't believe it.

The place was bristling with fighter planes.

Have they all gone crazy

in Haarlem? Unbelievable.

Lousy organisation.

Go ahead and laugh about it.

Take this.

Let the uncle come here.

Uncle Peter.

Come, let's go.

I left my coat.

- Let's go.

After the liberation, Anton staid in

Amsterdam, living with his aunt and uncle.

The night of the attack seems

indefinitely long ago.

The Russians and the Americans...

allies

in the war against the fascism...

are opposed to each other.

The East-West conflict begins.

War in Korea.

Anton doesn't meddle with politics,

no more than he does with his past.

After his final examinations he

studies medicine.

Just in 1952, Anton goes back

to Haarlem for the first time...

because a friend passed for his

Master's degree dental surgery.

Hey, Steenwijk. You're here after all.

- Gerrit-Jan, congratulations.

Am I still on time a bit?

- A bit. Join us.

As I said before,

you are of course spoilt boys.

You're only thinking of ways

to stay out of the army.

They don't even want you.

- Listen, lout.

If you'd only have an ounce of guts,

you'd voluntarily report for Korea.

That's where the barbarians pound on the

gate of the Christian civilization.

The fascists were nothing compared to that.
