that for two days.

But nobody can go there.

I go. - Don't go, it's a Frenchman.

They can get them themselves.

And what if it's the student?

But, I have seen him...

I crawled past him when

I was on patrol.

Where did he get hit?

Nowhere...

He lies in the water.

I can't take this.

But listen...

He'll stop.

- I get him today.

- Save your skin, for God sake.

Can't you hear what's going on?

We can't let him rot away

out there.

Look out, the lieutenant.

Who's here?

Reporting back.

Oh, it's you.

Four reliable men have to go

to the front. They'll have to

entrench in front of the wire

entanglement.

I'll send an MG later on.

It's important to attack

the French in the flank.

Who volunteers?

Me. Lieutenant.

I already thought of you.

Now you can show

how beneficial your leave

at home has been.

Who is going with him?

Can I choose some guys?

Are you coming?

What can I do... I just have to.

I can't let you go by yourself.

God...

The student.

God!

Pull yourself together.

We're supposed to be heroes.

If we were heroes,

we would be at home by now.

Watch out!

Go!

They are coming.

Pull the pins, for God's sake.

Go, there's gas!

Yes...

Your Majesty.

I'm blind!

I'm blind! Kill me.

Get them out first. There is no

more room down there.

I have no more legs!

But you have arms.

Think of your girl.

Towel.

Gloves.

Start with the narcosis.

Instrument.

Swab.

Where is the student?

Say something nice,

for God's sake.

I'm your wife.

Be quiet my child...

I come back to you.

It's not my fault.

Forgive me.

We are all in trouble.

All alone?

I know, I know, not you.

All this.

It's...

everyone's...

...fault.

I can't go on.

Cigarette!

I've got five children at home.

Narcosis.

There are no more narcotics.

I wanna go home.

I'm...

Comrade.

No enemy.

No enemy...

Water.

THE END?!
