the dregs of the army,
the misfits.
Well, that was General Tanz's word.
"Incompetence."
Not to mention subordinates
who shirk responsibility.
And because of our failure,
the Fuhrer has ordered General Tanz
to solve the problem of Warsaw.
How?
Meticulously.
In three phases.
Using the most
drastic means, I suppose.
Drastic?
Monstrous.
Lieutenant General Tanz
commanded the Nibelungen Division.
He was the youngest
Wehrmacht general.
A hero at Leningrad, a pet of Hitler,
a remarkable officer.
He arrived in Warsaw on the day
the woman was killed.
He, too, was unaccounted for
that night.
First roadblock, set up there.
Yes, sir.
from a street two blocks away.
The entire quarter
is to be sealed off.
We shall take a leaf
from the fisherman's book.
First, we'll mark out a wide
perimeter, then we'll start
combing the outlying streets.
That should set the fish in motion.
Of course, they'll try to make off
in the opposite direction,
but we'll have roadblocks there
to cut them off.
By the time we've closed the net,
we'll have them exactly
where we want them.
With their backs to the ghetto wall.
Excuse me, general, what about
the civilian population?
The latest estimate,
this section of the city contains
about 80,000 inhabitants.
One can hardly talk of a normal
civilian population in this place.
I regard the experience to
be gained from this operation
as absolutely indispensable.
Hold it at 20.
Now, about those
flamethrowers, sir,
to be on the safe side,
as many as needed.
What are you scared of,
children?
I think they're hungry.
What food do we have?
Some sandwiches, sir.
Bring them to me.
Yes, sir.
Yes, you're quite right,
they do look hungry.
Poor little devils.
Your lunch, sir.
Open.
Yes, sir.
Filth.
Your hands.
Look at those nails.
Not even Polish children
should be given such muck.
Make a note.
Food and sweets to be carried
at all times for the children.
It does no harm
to win their confidence.
As for him,
he's relieved as my orderly.
Home leave cancelled.
Filthy pig. Last week
he offered me an unwashed glass.
Now he enters my sight looking
as though he just exhumed
his grandmother with his bare hands.
Absolute cleanliness,
that's what I demand
Do I make myself clear?
Yes, sir.
As for our immediate requirements,
see they're fully met.
Once they are,
I shall seal off the district
and put the inhabitants
through a sieve.
All 80,000?
General Tanz,
forgive me,
but just as a matter
of curiosity,
what do you feel is the exact
purpose of this exercise?
