Is it German artillery that I hear? -I'm afraid not.
But hasn't Steiner's attack started?
You have to go as fast as you can. Time is running out.
But the Führer has the situation under control.
Steiner will make all the difference.
He says it will change military history.
Everybody, but the Führer, knows that's a fantasy.
I even wonder if he believes it himself. -Why would he be playing games?
What does he have to lose?
I don't believe a word of it.
The enemy made a breakthrough.
They took Zossen and are advancing towards Stahnsdorf.
They're at the northern city border, between Frohnau and Pankow.
In the east, they reached Lichtenberg, Mahlsdorf and Karlshorst.
If Steiner attacks, everything will be alright.
Mein Führer...
Steiner...
Steiner didn't have enough force.
The attack didn't take place.
The following stay here: Keitel, Jodl, Krebs and Burgdorf.
That was an order. Steiner's attack was an order.
How dare you ignore my orders?
Is this what it came to?
The military, everybody lied to me. Even the SS.
The generals are no more than a bunch of disloyal cowards.
I don't allow that...
Cowards, traitors and incompetents. -Führer, this is outrageous.
The generals are the scum of the German people.
No sense of honour.
You call yourself general because you spent years at the academy...
...where you only learnt to use knife and fork.
For years, the military obstructed me.
All you ever did is thwart me.
I should have had...
...all the high officers executed. Like Stalin did.
I never went to the academy.
But I conquered all of Europe on my own.
Traitors.
I've been betrayed and deceived from the start.
Such enormous betrayal of the German people.
But all these traitors will pay. With their own blood.
They will drown in their own blood.
Calm, Gerda.
All my orders have been ignored.
How can I be a leader under these circumstances?
It's over.
The war is lost.
But if you think this means I'll leave Berlin...
...you're wrong. I'd rather shoot a bullet through my head.
Do what you want.
