The Night of the Generals Page #10

Hands up!

Keep moving.

Keep moving.

Have them over here.

Over here. Over here.

Get back!

Name?

First name?

Profession?

Halt!

Major Grau.

Go ahead, sir.

Wait for me here.

This is Wehrmacht's radio unit

assigned to the Reich's general

government of Poland.

This broadcast is coming to you

directly from Warsaw.

A few yards from where I am,

I see General Tanz,

the hero of Leningrad.

He is conducting maneuvers

in the streets of the city.

An entire area is being temporarily

evacuated in the interest

of public order and safety.

Sector one reports

phase one successful.

Sector three,

no resistance encountered.

Thank you, Sandauer.

The soldiers, of course,

are dedicated to their commander.

He is a superb craftsman of war

and his presence alone inspires

men to extraordinary valor.

The exercise is being carried out

with meticulous precision

according to plan.

The population is extremely

cooperative and friendly.

Sector four reports

phase one operative.

Sector two,

flamethrowers ready to action.

Phase one to continue

until further orders.

Yes, sir.

All sectors, from commanding

general, phase one to continue

until further orders.

Main sector, flamethrowers ready, sir.

Go ahead.

Forward march.

General Tanz?

A few more minutes.

- Halt!

- Stop!

Get him!

Stop! Fire!

- Sandauer!

- Sir?

Stand by for phase two.

Phase two, sir?

Stand by for phase two.

Yes, sir.

Notify all units.

Phase one completed.

Stand by for phase two.

Yes, sir.

CP to all sectors,

stand by for phase two.

Phase two!

Phase two.

Yes, sir. Phase two.

Phase two.

Fire!

Fire!

Now the major

may put his questions.

He's gone, sir.

That maniac is blowing up

half the city.

Let's go.

Did you say there was

no real resistance?

No, I was there.

One shot from one sniper,

that was all, and he blows up

the city!

Now, now,

we're not the generals.

It is their business,

you know, not ours.

We're here just

to keep the papers moving.

And yours have arrived.

Congratulations.

For what?

You've been promoted

to lieutenant colonel.

Promoted?

And transferred to Paris

as of this date.

Lucky fellow.

Transferred, but why?

Who signed the transfer?

General Gabler, naturally.

What are you doing?

I'm going to find out

where the order originated.

On whose recommendation here.

Calm down. I've already checked.

General Kahlenberge.

He recommended your transfer.

Did he indeed?

You must have made

quite an impression last night.

It would seem so.

Thank you, colonel.

It's just as well, you know.

That's a matter of opinion.

Above all, Major Grau,

not too much zeal.

I have a zealous nature,

sir. I can't help it.

Yes, inspector, I was
