And I resent those
cheap journalists
who try to make him out to be
some sort of inhuman monster.
He was not.
[SPEAKS IN SPANISH]
Forgive me, inspector.
We hire a lot of foreigners
nowadays.
We can't get Germans
any more, not for real work.
I've seen General Tanz in the field,
with the wounded, the dying.
He was extraordinary.
Compassionate, gentle.
Do you know that after Leningrad,
Hitler ordered the general
not to expose himself to enemy fire.
Of course, he found this
a great hardship.
He was only happy in battle.
Yes?
[SPEAKING IN SPANISH]
Ah, gracias. Gracias.
I'm also learning Spanish.
Well, soon everything
will be automated.
Except the manager, of course.
And then in July 1944,
we were transferred to Paris.
The Allies were
in Normandy by then
and Hitler ordered us to stop them
in front of Paris.
We nearly did too, except that
the army was betrayed, as usual.
But we mustn't talk politics.
It's bad for business, isn't it?
It was a paradise to us,
particularly after Russia.
I remember that summer
as though it were yesterday.
The empty streets,
the heat, the quiet.
Everything cheap.
By the way, I was in Paris last
summer, and my God, the prices.
When they gave me my hotel bill,
I couldn't believe it.
But in July '44,
Paris was still our city.
I suppose that's a tactless thing
to say, but we did love Paris.
In any case, General Tanz and I
were due to arrive on July 20th.
But at the last moment, the general
decided to come a few days early.
So I sent a messenger to 7th Corps
headquarters at Versailles
to say that we would be in Paris
on the 17th.
I think you know why I'm giving you
the exact dates.
As it turned out, it was a good thing
we arrived when we did.
However, there were those
who were not at all pleased
to learn of our early arrival.
Thank you, that will be all.
Heil Hitler.
Heil Hitler.
Oh, I shall be with General Gabler
in the War Room.
What about my pass?
Is it all right?
For God's sake, relax!
Operation Hartmann, phase one,
will begin tomorrow, 18 July, at 0915
when the lance corporal
reports to the railway station.
With a car.
With a car duly requisitioned
from the motor pool.
Phase two, the lance corporal
will then meet the secret consignment
from Berlin.
Then?
Then phase three.
A 24-hour pass for the lance corporal
You've got it?
Here.
A corporal and
a general's daughter.
You know, you really are
asking for trouble.
But it's your funeral, not mine!
has been advancing towards the left,
trying to cut off two of our panzer
divisions from our main supply route.
