Children, look at this map, the black part must be deleted.
Cover that part with your little fingers and mark it in red.
Then, whatever will happen,
promise to go and find ...
... Alsace's kids are stretched out their hands to us.
Let the green branches of hope grow in our beloved France.
Grow from you, children. Grow up!
France needs you!
To clear the map of each trace German, and Hun.
We must destroy the race.
Don't leave a single one.
Do not worry about crying their children.
Kill them all now, ladies too.
Or someday they will rise again.
If they die now, they will not can rise again ...
We only have one enemy.
Who dug up German graves
With a heart full of hatred, bitterness and envy.
We have only one enemy,
who raised his hands used to kill,
You know the name of the enemy. They are English.
MERRY CHRISTMAS
This is it.
The war has been waged!
Well, sister ...
... you will spend the war by painting a statue?
I registered you too!
Two more days, we'll all go to Glasgow for basic training
Finally, something will happen in our lives.
Do you, come along?
Two more minutes, Mr. Sprink.
I was ordered to read this message from our beloved Kaiser Wilhelm.
"These are dark days for Germany."
"Our country has been besieged."
"And we have to swing the sword."
"I hope that God will give us strength and used well ... "
"... so we can use it with dignity. "
Two more minutes, Lieutenant!
We're going out!
German trenches 100 meters.
we will bomb their machine guns for more than one hour.
For our good.
We will pass their front row then enter the farm behind.
Battalion 134 will replace us tonight.
So we can rest.
The Scottish army will protect us from the left.
You will recognize their black hat. don't worry about them,
You just do what I say!
I like you!
I want to go back to my house too!
So let's do what we have to do, inside One week we will go home for Christmas.
Right.
Do what must be done!
Install the bayonet!
Fill the gun!
Forward!
Come on!
Please!
Do not stop here, brother.
Someone of us must endure.
- no - do not be quiet. - No, William. No, William.
Come on, come on. Come on, William!
Ya.
I left him ...
Like a coward ... I leave him ...
... and I let it die. Oh, why?
- You have no choice. - Oh, God.
And now we must pray for him, and for all other victims.
reinforcements arrived.
We'll go, Dale.
- You live here with the wounded. - Yes, Lieutenant.
I'll meet you again on the base.
I know you're in a ditch, sir.
This is me.
Andrew Duncan.
I'm not far away, sir
Sir, I was shot.
Eight feet.
God.
Others... The others are too far away, but I ...
Father!
You have to go out and help me
That is all.
Just walk straight ahead and you will find me.
I know ... I know I can rely on you sir ...
Sir, what are you doing? This is suicide!
do not run! don't run away like that, damn you!
Back! Come back here.
- You bastard, sir! - Stop the shot!
- He is a stretcher carrier! - What?
you're shooting a stretcher carrier!
How do you know that?
Why did you shoot first?
That's Scottish robber, sir.
- I thought, I shot him - Well.
Shut up. If there is a slight movement, ring the danger sign!
Good, Sir.
Sprink!
Come with me.
Yes, Lieutenant!
Everyone's attention!
Leave enemy weapons in the main ditch!
- Go help them. - All right.
We have to rebuild it.
Do not worry. Nobody saw me.
Are you hurt?
Jesus! What happened?
You're 15 minutes in the ditch.
- Reinforcement isn't even ... - their machine guns slaughter us.
I lost a third of my troops in 5 minutes.
You see Scottish troops backing down on your left
and you leave the farm.
Did you learn something new?
I tried the Red Cross, but nothing.
It's impossible to get news from the enemy-occupied zone.
Information says, Germans treat civilians well.
Your wife must be in her parents ... with your baby ...
During the bombing, one of our cannons explodes.
5 of our friends and an officer were killed instantly.
I asked you to replace it in that unit.
Artillery can be relied upon. You can moving fast.
Not.
I don't want artillery. I will stay here with my troops.
Look for another lieutenant. There are many.
I am Major General here, and I rule according to what I think is right.
you will do what I am command you
you will make a Christmas celebration in your unit
Then you will go to Poitiers for training. That is a command.
If you want your visit to remain confidential, you better leave now.
The order for me will come soon.
You will stay here for 3 days.
Then, you will move with the line leading to the Delsaux farm.
This sector must be calm during Christmas.
Take a rest.
I'll meet you before you leave for Poitiers.
Good night.
Good evening, General.
Lieutenant, I found some blankets for tonight.
What's up, Lieutenant?
Purse! I lost my wallet!
A wallet containing a photo of you show yesterday?
Ya.
That's a shame
But you don't need a photo to remember your wife's face
I got shot, too.
Look, Lieutenant.
2 cm taller and I will die.
This clock is still alive!
Unstoppable, just like me, eh, Lieutenant?
In briefing we are ordered put one every 5 meters.
Every five meters?
How much is it all?
Around 100,000.
Or 20 trips by car from Lille through Brussels.
Extraordinary.
Christmas tree.
It took longer to send these trees than the time to send our canon.
Let Miss Sorensen enter
How is he?
She is fine.
His regiment was attacked four days ago ...
... but they hit back at the enemy.
Now, about your request ...
I'm worried ... I can't accept it.
I think, as a Danish, you can't understand the seriousness of this situation.
For 5 months now,
Our 2 million people struggle non-stop.
we have no time or interest ... to organize the show.
It took me a while to realize ... that I approach the wrong person.
So I contacted Kronprinz, ...
... who is happy to hold a recital at his headquarters on Christmas Eve.
I was told, that you are responsible ... not just for canon and convoy,
but also the army.
So if you can sign here, ...
... next to Kronprinz, before telling your people.
You will only meet him for one night. What's the use of that?
This will be more than one night.
Our time is longer than your time
Mother,
William and I received your package and letter
Thank you for the gloves and the shawl
It's very cold here, your shipment very helpful.
By thinking about you at home, keep us excited
Thank you for the cake too
I hope we can leave it for Christmas
your two children, who love you. .
Good morning Father.
Three whiskey chests. That's a lot of ammunition.
I think I'm invited.
Sir, my troops are really exhausted.
we are all tired, Gordon,
everyone of us.
But I can't bring you troops substitute before three days.
And if the Germans attack tonight or tomorrow as we anticipate ..
... you have to face them.
Ya, Pak.
Our brave trekkies.
you're the one who almost made your men killed in an area of ​​no man's land.
Stretcher carriers should save lives, rather than harm them.
I give orders, ...
... a very clear order, that it is forbidden to leave this trench ...
... if the Germans counterattack
Yes, Sir. But the situation ...
But you did not follow me !!
Now I suggest you do it the rules of St Bernard in the future ...
... and don't forget
... military discipline!
Is that understood?
Do you understand?
Ya, Pak.
Maybe you can tell What are you doing here...
... on the front lines without any fighting?
I visited a friend, sir.
What?
A friend.
Where do you think you are?
In your village?
Now you will come back with me soon to the back line.
Well, come on, kids ... Make yourself you are very useful.
Then...
This road is shorter.
we pass to the right through this toilet.
- There is a latrine on this line - On this track?
- Yes, here sir. - Get me out of here, huh?
Enough.
I'm sorry we have to pass toilet, sir.
- I told you ... - Christ!
- Sniper, sir. Sniper, sir. - Jesus!
Absolutely disgusting !!
The wrong place to hide, sir!
- Help me get out of here huh? - Yes, Sir. Of course, sir.
Listen. You have to shut up, huh? Shut up.
As a priest, I need silence.
That is enough.
- What happened? - There is no.
- Only a shotgun shot. Really lonely. - Well.
Be careful, they will not stop, even on Christmas Eve.
Follow me.
Do you know whose bright idea is that?
Not
That's for you, Lieutenant.
Sprink!
you will leave us for one night.
Where should I go?
Go home, where you are will feel better.
Why don't you like me, Lieutenant?
After your regiment is dissolved, I have to take you.
But I prefer masons, bakers, farmers.
Artists like you are not useful,
It doesn't mean anything like stone on the road.
Now leave. This officer will drop you off.
Go!
It's 10 o'clock and no something's wrong!
Calm down
Is this not too short?
I told Lieutenant, I'm the best barber in Lens.
Even the mayor came to me.
Dan Henri Hennebicque, your customers, too right?
Hennebicque? I dont know him.
She's my father-in-law.
Vice Mayor. Live at 21 Cypress Alley.
You never told me, sir.
I know Cypress Alley well.
I go there often for fix my bike ...
... at Narcisse Denoyelle, number 43.
I can remember now, little blue gate.
I think I can tell you, now.
Sometimes, at night, I'm heading to the road ...
... towards agriculture, slowly, so I'm not killed ...
..and I sat there and I saw.
I know the Delsaux farm pretty well.
I go there cycling, to get eggs and milk.
Outside the farm there is a road to Lens.
Jump to Lens.
By walking, I can return home in less than an hour.
Without hurry.
One hour.
My mother will be waiting for me at the door ...
... with a cup of hot coffee,
same as before.
Damn lice !!
Finally...
It's done, Lieutenant.
Well?
Ponchel.
There is no mirror in front.
Christ, how stupid am I?
But your haircut is good sir ... you're ready for tonight's party.
- If you say that. - All right
Welcome, miss
Honor for me
Please.
Miss Sorenson, this is an honor.
I don't tolerate mistakes! Clean it now!
Excuse me. Do you know where Nikolaus Sprink is?
Where is Nikolaus Sprink?
I thought he arrived an hour ago.
Sprink? The tenor?
Ya.
Miss, we have this house for 300 years, ...
... but this house is not our home anymore since September 23.
Ask another place, if you can.
If they have a taste, he will be placed in my room on the top floor.
thanks.
Ah you! Good taste!
Tasteful Prussians? You shouldn't talk to them.
Not ! I am lousy.
we will sing together again, as before.
I'm not like before, Anna.
Sing for me! Sing for us.
Honourable.
I am glad to see no war affect you
That you are fighting voluntarily ...
... is the most impressive thing.
I do not voluntarily fight, Your Majesty.
I am called like every other person.
I congratulate you on your initiative, Miss.
you remind us, despite the war, this is Christmas.
Thank you and your voice ...
... tonight I feel like I'm being being Berlin, ...
... I hope to be back get there as soon as possible.
Maybe next spring, ...
... if everything goes according to plan.
Next spring.
Do you smoke?
Everyone smokes in the ditch.
you have to kill time, by all means
It's been five years since we first met.
Of Oslo.
Has it been five years?
You have to joke with death to realize how time passes away ...
... and that was terrible.
All these fat people, paraded and drink champagne.
Anna, I have to go back to the front.
To sing to my colleagues
Tonight, more special from another night
For months I tried to make this come true, and you want to go?
I don't want to leave you
but I have to go and sing for them.
I'll be back after that.
I will come to you.
Impossible!
This is too dangerous. you don't realize it.
Since you left,
I always wonder if you are still alive.
you live, and I'm with you. Nothing more important.
I waited tonight for a long time.
I don't want to lose a minute.
And without permission from Kaiser, you won't be able to go far.
Do you have permission from Kaiser?
Major General believes in you
Damn, Lieutenant!
Can't they leave us alone calm on Christmas Eve?
We must always do dirty work.
I'm a volunteer to go.
I don't want to have a problem, Gueusselin.
Go there, approach their line, search their machine guns and come back.
Understand?
And if they see me with this moonlight, can i shoot back?
Go, be careful and come back fast, if you want hot food.
Children. Where did you get the pipe?
- Aye, where do we get the pipe? - I found them.
Well, 92 battalion people hear us will be in a ditch for Christmas.
It's worth it. I don't think there are reserve troops around us huh?
Sit here. You can use mine
Come on, Padre, sing a song.
What if the song I dream of home?
Come on, kids, harder!
It seems like they're having fun there.
Do you want us to have fun too?
This is Anna Sorensen.
- Good night. - Good night.
Good night.
God, what is this?
Are you crazy, bring a woman here?
Lieutenant,...
... I convinced Kronprin, just one song It is okay
Nice.
You can start.
Lieutenant!
Pay attention. Something strange is happening.
I don't like this, Lieutenant.
It could be that this is a dirty trick for diversion attention...
Sprink!
Get down!
Good evening, Englishman!
Good evening, German!
But we are not English, we are Scotsmen.
That's great, but that's enough.
This is not Berlin opera.
You are right.
This is even better than Berlin.
Well i never. That beats a lot.
Look at that. There are summits, and we are not invited.
Diam, Ponchel!
What's going on here?
Good night.
Do you speak English?
Yes, a little.
Nice.
We are talking about a ceasefire
during Christmas. What do you think?
Results this war will not be decided tonight.
I think nobody will criticize us, if we put guns on Christmas Eve.
don't worry, just for tonight.
What are they doing?
Maybe Germany is sick
and want to give up.
I will be surprised.
Ponchel, give me a bottle of champagne and my glass.
thanks.
Merry Christmas.
Which idiot did that?
Merry Christmas !
Good evening, I'm Anna.
You go first. Please.
Felix. Where have you been Felix.
No, the name is not Felix. He is Nestor.
- This is Felix. - No, Nestor.
This is the Delsaux farm cat. No, I know better than you.
- Felix. - No, that's Nestor.
Take it, I don't want it anymore
- This is Nestor. - Felix.
- Well right? This is Nestor. Nestor? This is Nestor. - Felix.
Nestor walked to the French side.
My wife.
- She is a beautiful girl. - Very beautiful.
This is my wife.
Montparnasse.
This is my wife's favorite place in Paris.
Luxembourg Park.
You haven't shown a picture of your wife to us.
Not. Like you guys, I have a picture of him, but ...
... I removed it ...
I drew his face, but ...
... dear less similar.
Do you live on Rue Vavin?
Ya.
I think i ...
... I found your wallet in my ditch, in the attack last night.
I saved it because of that address.
There is a small hotel, on Rue Vavin.
I spent a week there with my wife, two years ago.
That's our honeymoon ...
Thank you very much.
Thank you again.
Wait, that's the bottle of Gueusselin.
Who cares? He is asleep.
I would be surprised if he did.
Thank you very much, sir
Very well.
How old is she? in that photo?
Five months.
He is in Lens, with his parents,
Last July.
Then he experienced complications and have to rest in bed.
I was asked to stay with him, but I couldn't.
I was called for war, and have to leave it there.
Do not you write each other?
How is your wife?
I have not received a letter from him since September.
They never arrived here.
I don't even know if my baby is a boy or a girl.
I disappoint you
I let you down here.
Hey, Scots !!
Do you know what I'm holding?
A French soldier gave me some champagne.
Do you want to drink?
Come on
Sing for us.
Sing for them.
Good night, gentlemen.
Please. Give way.
thanks. thanks.
You're so kind.
I'm Jewish. Christmas doesn't mean anything to me.
But I will never forget tonight.
thanks.
So, what will happen with the young woman?
Yes, I want to ask.
Can he spend the night at your refuge
I mean, when will he leave?
Tomorrow morning.
All right.
Unfortunately, you can't sleep on my shelter
I am not alone.
There are big rats, it's been 3 days, but I will catch it later.
We & will find a solution.
Good evening, Lieutenant.
Good night.
don't worry, miss.
I will find a safe place for you
Thank you, Jörg.
Tell me, Lieutenant.
What did you put in your report to headquarters later?
Well, I wrote, "December 24, 1914"
"There is no hostility on the part Germany tonight. "
Well, that is a fact.
Tonight,...
... these people gathered in front of the altar like fire in the middle of winter.
Even those who don't come to warm up.
Maybe they only want together.
It's possible to forget about the war for a moment.
Maybe.
But war will not forget us.
No more flare!
Merry Christmas.
Oskar. Oskar.
Oskar! Oskar!
Listen. Someone is digging out there.
Mine. The fucking Scottish soldier dig a mine hole ...
They & will fill it with explosives and blow us up.
No, they don't dig any holes,
Of course they do it, listen to me!
You're too friendly with they were last night.
Ya?
- See who is talking. - See!
Jonathan? Jonathan, come with me.
Jonathan.
Dale.
Dale!
What do you think you are doing? The ceasefire has ended.
A moment later Germany will start shooting at you.
Hurry back to the ditch!
Now!
Get down!
- Morning, Lieutenant. - Good morning.
Can we talk about people who has been killed?
The dead?
Ponchel!
Bring your copy!
thanks.
Thank you, Ponchel. you can leave now.
My men will get rid of the bodies killed last week.
... so you can bury them.
And we will return to the rest your men
who lost on the front line last November.
That makes sense.
Burying the dead on the day Christ was born.
Makes sense.
Ya.
I am done.
Sorry, but why did you set an alarm every 10 am?
Is that when changing guard?
Oh no.
No, it's just a habit, reminds drink coffee every morning at 10, with her mother.
He was worried he would forget everything it's a war.
we just got used to it.
That's how it is.
Hey, do you need help?
God is with us.
Please, will you come, Father?
Within days, their family, ...
... their wife, will receive bad news.
It would be better not to think about it.
For them, it won't never the same as before.
And you too.
One day they will cover you up and bury you in a hole.
Let's go, when there is still time ...
I have an incoming letter. The Netherlands is not far away.
There is no war, we can live.
I can't do that, I will considered a deserter.
Of course not. we will be there together.
I'm just a soldier, like the others.
I have a duty, like all another soldier here.
The Netherlands is not far away.
They will arrest us, even your permit will not be able to save us.
There are other ways.
The French border is only 100 meters. we just have to cross it.
I have made tea. Maybe you want to drink.
Come on
Oh, yes..
... others ask me to give these letters.
we don't trust military posts.
And you will return to Berlin, we think ...
Certain.
Ayo, Morallec!
Do it!
There seems to be a problem with that German.
I heard about your wife last night.
If you like
I can send him a letter.
Why did you do that? If you get caught ...
A letter won't stop us from winning this war!
And however, when we take over Paris, and everything is done, ...
... you can invite us to drink on Rue Vavin.
You don't have to attack Paris just for drinking.
How many magazines do you have? fire every day?
How many?
Eight.
- Eight? - eight.
Ah, eight. Eight.
And you?
- Seven - Seven?
- Seven, yes. - Seven and eight.
We, only five. Not surprise me.
Yesterday, William managed to kill two German soldiers
who has been eyeing us for hours
If he continues to do it,
he will be the best shooter throughout the platoon
All our friends are watching you
but William and I looked after him as close as possible.
We are friends.
Still here? Why don't they send vehicles?
we have waited, but no one comes to pick it up
I thought the party took place at headquarters until morning and they haven't woken up yet.
They called me from headquarters five minutes ago.
They said you disappeared.
They think you ran away, sprinkle.
I told them you were here with Miss Sorensen.
That you came to sing for your friends
And they were really impressed.
They told me to watch you until they arrive.
Miss Sorensen will return to Berlin ...
... and you will be arrested
For two weeks.
For disobedience at the front line.
Frontline disobedience?
I don't understand, Lieutenant.
So what's the plan for tomorrow?
A small soccer match ...
... and drink with people across the street?
Or you will shoot at them like rabbits after you drink until you?
Well, Lieutenant?
What is the meaning of all that?
It would be weird if you die tomorrow than if you died yesterday.
Enough, sprinkle!
Is the coffee left?
Felix.
Damn cat !!
Here, Nestor.
Is the French Lieutenant here?
Yes, he just arrived.
What are you doing here?
Everyone returns to his camp.
I know, I know, but ...
... our artillery will start shooting at you in 10 minutes.
So I suggest you go and take refuge in my ditch.
If you have survived, I don't need to warn your replacement.
They will shoot you before you step in no land.
It's a risk.
Do not say anything, Sprink.
Bull's eye.
Sorry.
God damn it! we have to fix it again
Oh, yes...
... about letters for my wife. you tell me if ...
we stop the shot.
It's time for you to come back.
I hope you two survived until the war ends.
I don't think this war is over.
I won't be surprised if our artillery will release shot after you attack.
It's a risk!
This time, I think we should split up immediately.
I'm glad to meet you.
Maybe in another situation, we can have ...
Yes, maybe.
Even drinking together on Rue Vavin as a tourist.
Ya.
Hopefully, how do you say it?
Ya.
Prancismu is better than English my german language.
Of course. But your wife isn't German people.
Well ...
Good luck.
you too.
- Goodbye. - Good luck.
Let's go, kids!
Lieutenant.
I managed to track all their machine guns.
Everything is there.
Jörg.
What are you doing here? Everyone is gone.
We want you to take us as prisoners.
Prisoner? Impossible !!
How will I explain you guys to my boss?
I can't do it!
Return to your ditch, time for the play is over.
Sir ...
If we go back to the German side they will separate us.
Put us in any prison but let us together,
I beg you
- Corporal - Lieutenant?
Take these two people back, to the village.
They are prisoners. Place them in the school room
Until they go elsewhere.
And stay with them. We will be there tomorrow.
Lieutenant.
Can you send this letter to the Red Cross?
Important.
Ponchel!
Morralec, di mana Ponchel? I have searched for one hour!
He said he went to eat, sir.
Eat?
My dear, I cling to your memories, ...
... like a climber tied to the rope so it will not fall.
Poor people are killed between our lines.
Let President Poincaré seize Lorraine myself, I don't care
Try as we do,
before we find out, they have scored six
They then admit, if they are play together
in a Munich team called Bayern
I will never forget his voice at night
I take refuge in my ditch, in peace
Drink with bastards? I better die!
I have to admit, their trenches better,
Scottish photographers promise to send his photo in the New Year.
Hopefully there is a chance come back together
A Bavarian soldier gave me his address, to visit him when the war is over
We and the British decided to accept invites the Krauts.
We will celebrate the New Year with the Germans
We will sing the songs taught by the people Scottish warriors.
And we will drink for health the bitches ...
who sit in their warm home, and send us here to die.
Come on Come on
He is yours now.
Give me water.
you are being sent back to your village in Scotland.
I have ordered you
I joined them injured and ...
... who have lost their faith.
I joined here.
I'm very disappointed, you know.
When you ask permission to join with the youth of your village
... I personally guarantee you.
But then, when I heard what happened ...
... I pray for you.
I really believe that God will guide me ...
... in the most important moment of my life.
I try to be honest with His beliefs ...
... and bring His message to all, to anyone too
People who listen to you on Christmas Eve ...
... will soon be very sorry.
Because in a few days,
their regiment must be dissolved ... at the command of His Majesty the King.
The poor people will end on the front line now?
And what will their family think about?
Excuse me, Your Honor. Children are ready.
Oh, yes.
They are waiting for me, to preach sermons ...
... to the soldiers who replaced them who got lost with you.
And maybe our God is driving your step to return ...
... to a straight and narrow path.
Is that really the way of our Lord?
You don't ask the right questions.
Think about this.
Are you sure to stay are among us, in the house of our Lord?
Christ, our Lord said, ...
"Don't think that I'm coming to bring peace on earth "...
"I have not come to bring peace, but with a sword. "
Gospel According to St. Matthew.
Well, my brothers, ...
... God's sword is in your hands.
You are the defenders civilization itself.
Power good against evil forces.
Fight in this war indeed a crusade!
A holy war ...
... to save the freedom of the world.
Actually, I tell you, ...
... Germany does not act like we, ...
... they also don't think like us, ...
... they are not like us, ...
... God's children.
Are people shooting a city inhabited by civilians, ...
... are the children of God?
Are people who are advanced armed, ...
... and hide behind women and children, ...
... are the children of God?
With God's help ...
... you have to kill the Germans,
... good or evil, young or old.
Kill them all ...
... so no need to kill they're back in the future ..
God be with you.
And also with you.
May God the Great bless you.
On behalf of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
- Amin. - Amin.
Everyone to their posts!
Everyone goes to each post!
Fast!
No, stay here!
What are you doing? Come back!
Well, what are you doing? Shoot the Germans!
What are you waiting for?
Shoot him, damn it! The holiday is over!
What do you think you are doing?
Shoot him!
Get off your post.
You're embarrassing, Gordon.
You are so embarrassing.
It is foolish to die disguised as German, isn't that right sir?
What are you doing?
I made friends with Germans who helped me.
I saw my mother.
we drink coffee together, like before.
You have a son.
His name is Henri.
How do you allow yourself
If you came to preach, go away!
Don't you realize how serious this problem is?
This is high treason! Must be put to death.
But we cannot execute 200 people.
That's what helps you
And I ignored other cases from friendships reported since then.
If public opinion hears this ...
Don't be afraid, nobody is here who will divulge it.
I hope so! I mean, I think so!
Do you think that?
The people involved are not ashamed of what they have done
If they don't tell it, it's because there won't be any no one will believe.
It's hard to believe! Party with enemies while some of the countries are occupied!
Country? What the country cares about with our suffering here?
What do we do without complaining?
Let me tell you something, I feel closer to Germany ...
"than those who shouted" Kill the Krauts " While enjoying their turkey dishes!
That's bullshit.
Not. That's because you don't experience it the same war with me.
Or the same war with people on the other side there.
You and your troops will join back in the Verdun sector.
You're right about one thing.
I don't understand this war.
My corps is a cavalry.
You will build a career there, like which I have said.
Today, I have to fight in a way where the shovel is more important than the rifle.
War where people exchange addresses with the enemy,
so they can meet again when it's all over.
Plus the cat we found with notes "Good luck" from the German army
I was ordered to catch the cat on charges of high treason ...
... until further notice.
You are grandfather, father.
His name is Henri.
What are you talking about?
How do you know that?
You won't understand.
Henri?
Not bad.
Henri Audebert.
Let's try to survive the war this is for her sake.
Heh.
Sit down.
In two days, you will be sent to East Prussia.
... to take part in the attack against the Russian army.
I hope you will show enthusiasm in the face of the enemy.
This car will cross the country, ...
... but it won't be possible for you to see your family.
Why?
I think you know why.
Kaiser Wilhelm's life!
Kaiser life!
They give this to almost everyone.
