Deserter, The (2025)

[bunniefuu]

Show yourself!

I know you're dying!

It's over.

The Americans are almost here

they will string us up.

Please don't.

The w*r is over.

Run northeast, you will

get out of the valley

further northwest,

you'll find farmhouses

you get yourself new clothes!

Take me with you.

Clear off!

Just go northeast...

Run...

Run!

Show yourself!

I know you're dying!

I won't hurt you

I just want to rest...

You're bleeding to death...

Can you get the b*llet out?

Please...

Have you deserted?

You can finish eating.

Are you a doctor?

My father.

I wouldn't stay here if I were you

the Allies are close, almost to Brenner.

I don't know what you're doing up here,

but I would run.

The alm belongs to my aunt

she says I'm safe up here.

So I'll stay here until it's all over.

Listen

an SS unit is stationed very close by.

Near Padaun.

They block the passage.

The SS unit is scattered,

they will be wiped out.

Once the line has fallen, the

Allies will be in the high valley

do you understand?

Take your aunt and head north.

I must go now.

Where are my weapons?!

I have taken care of your wound

then let me keep the p*stol.

I did not force you to do it.

I must be able to defend myself!

You?

You cannot k*ll anyone.

Your wound will open up...

Where are they?!

Let me have

Leave the p*stol with me

Please

please stop.

please...

My weapons!

Now!

You can have this one.

Just take it!

Take care of yourself.

Show yourself!

I know you're dying!

It is yours!

Your family?

I could help...

Just stick to our agreement!

I'll nurse you back to health,

and you let me keep the p*stol!

The blonde girl

who is she?

A neighbour girl from the high valley

her father died in the w*r.

She brings me food.

Is she up here a lot?

Does your aunt send her?

Depends!

This is Marie... my older sister.

She married a pastor in Rosenheim.

That's where I'm going...

How can I tell that the

wound can no longer open up?

When you can do hard work again.

Like what?

Wood chopping?!

Then you have to show me how to chop wood.

What do I get in return?

I will teach you how to sh**t.

Fine...

How did you find me, anyway?

Now pull it over

You know, when you sh**t, it's loud...

Do you think I'm dumb?

You don't want to be found, do you?

You are sleeping over there!

Have you forgotten how

to eat during the w*r?

I am Anton

I'm from Munich.

I'm also from Munich.

My father, my mom...

My father has a factory in Landshut.

My family

committed Nazis.

That's how I came to join the army.

Where are your parents now?

Haven't heard from them in a long time...

Me neither...

Who is he?

He shot me...

You don't have to be

afraid, I won't touch you.

I'm not afraid of you!

Can I get fresh water?

Dream on

You could fix the roof,

or fetch water from the trough.

Make yourself useful.

Then you will also get fresh water.

Done!

Your turn...

My God

what are we doing here?

Let's get the hell out of here!

You can eat,

and then you show me how to sh**t!

I'm low on a*mo for the p*stol

only five b*ll*ts left.

This is how you load them...

Magazine in

magazine out.

Safety off

safety on.

Loading

aiming.

Now you.

Aim for the tree trunk.

Eye on the target...

Rear sight, front sight.

Now you guide the hand

with the g*n from top to bottom.

Easy...

You stop when you reach

the middle of the tree trunk.

Breathe in...

Breathe out...

Again from the start!

Breathe out,

and sh**t.

Go!

Good. Now by yourself!

Load the g*n!

How many people did you k*ll?!

I did not count...

Were there innocent people?

Safety on!

Would you like to try again?!

Where did you live in Munich?

Schwabing Giselastrasse.

Do you know the Schwabinger Bucht?

Yes, I do.

And your father was a doctor?

Yes... In the hospital on Maistrasse.

You know, I also wanted to become a doctor.

I admire women who study.

Can't be enough smart women in Germany.

I can't figure you out!

You're getting better.

If the SS sees this, they'll hang you!

Hold on...

Let me help you!

You'll be rid of me soon...

Wash yourself properly tomorrow morning!

You stink!

Can't you smell it?

Mom didn't want me to bring the sausage.

Who is he?

Looks good!

A soldier, I helped him.

Mom will be furious.

He will be gone soon.

Mom says the jewelry is worthless.

She scolded me last time

I came with the bracelet.

She wants money!

Now go Lotte

we'll sort it all out next time, okay?

Mama says if you can't pay

you have to leave!

How much do you get?

20 Marks...

So cheap?

Not a word... to anyone!

Business is business!

After all, the alm belongs to my family!

We decide who gets hidden and who not!

No matter if it's a deserter or a Jew!

You look pathetic!

You're from the city, right?

Don't be so cheeky, I'm injured!

Are you going to get naked again?

You get slapped around a lot, don't you?

If I steal something,

my brother beats me up.

Why are you hiding her?

It pays well.

But if you get caught,

you'll go to Mauthausen

are you not afraid?

We need the money

people in the village

look the other way.

People know there's a Jew up here?

Some people like it and some don't

we often share...

But you have to look after yourselves.

Mom says you have to help a

person when they are in need

she helped you too, right?

Where are you going?

Rosenheim...

Are you two together?

With a Jew?!

Do you want to make another deal with me?

Thank you for paying Charlotte.

Do you have a problem with me being Jewish?

Not with you...

But?

It is w*r...

You are a deserter.

Why did you all not

just leave our country?!

Would have been

better if I had let you die!

You should have told me!

All these years I've been

going from hideout to hideout!

I was always afraid,

always had to be careful!

Why do you think I have no money left?

Do you think anyone would

have hidden me for nothing?

To be a Jew in Germany is to be subhuman

that's what they taught you!

You are not subhuman...

Just as I became of age

when I thought,

now I can start living

you came and took everything from me!

Yes, you are right!

They taught me! My parents,

at school, everyone said it!

What?!

That you are to blame for everything!

That is a lie!

I know!

I was no longer allowed to study

then my father was

no longer allowed to work.

I had to watch kids on the

street spitting in his face...

There were children, he

helped bring in to this world.

And now I ask you, why?

You have made us a

scapegoat for all your problems.

My father used to say

it will get better.

With each new harassment, we

thought it couldn't get any worse!

But it got worse and worse...

My parents went to Amsterdam.

I was privileged, but my

sister and her husband

they did not want to leave their home.

I'm sorry...

What for?

What you have done is inexcusable!

I'm sorry I couldn't

do anything about it...

Sometimes you just cannot see the truth

out of fear

it's like you've gone blind...

You can stay...

Come on over.

You fool

that's not going to work.

That's how it's done,

but costs extra!

Have you got my clothes?

My brother caught me and beat me up.

I don't have much time.

You'll get your clothes.

You're smart, aren't you?

Do you know anything about the Allies?

Down in the valley, they

say the Italians are dug in

waiting for the Americans,

they are almost here.

Some young lads have

already blown up the streets,

so that the American

tanks can't go further.

Are you afraid of the Americans?

And the SS, what about them?

So... that needs to soak.

Blood hardly ever comes out.

Now get lost.

I'm sleeping here tonight.

Anton

Hannah, show Anton your hair!

Isn't she pretty?

Your necklace?

Belonged to Selma, my sister

just like the blue dress.

Selma was five years older than me

she was engaged to Otto.

The two of them lived

in our house, in Munich.

They often went out together.

My sister also, to the

clubs on Mullerstrasse.

Yes!

Selma always smelled so thrilling

when she came home at night

of sweat, alcohol, cigarettes

of being a woman!

And she taught me how

to dance... Charleston!

Please Hanna, show us!

I dare you, you coward!

My father died early in the w*r.

But my brother, Wilhelm, he came back.

They shot him... through here.

Now he can't raise his right arm.

He became wrong in the head,

but the left arm... he

still has strength for two!

When he slaps me, I

can hear the angels sing.

What will you do when the Allies get here?

The Italians won't get me!

I'm good at hiding...

And even if they did,

mama told me to play dead

just lay still and it

will be over quickly.

Now tell me

have you ever shot anybody?

I've been to Italy

to Russia... and I have seen Paris!

That's where I want to go!

Hitler once wanted to

climb the Eiffel Tower

that's when the Parisians

cut the ropes to the elevators.

So you had to climb the 765 steps by foot.

Of course, Adolf did not do that!

But I did!

You can see everything

up there, Charlotte

Trocadero... lle de

la Cit... Notre-Dame...

Champs-Elyses Sacr-Cuur

That's a sight you won't

forget for the rest of your life!

We are finished...

One time, we were in Chazlau

the SS strung up Partisans.

There were also children

a girl just about

the age of Charlotte...

When they pulled her up

she started to struggle...

kept kicking and jerking,

and she shook off her pants,

and there she hung... naked!

The soldiers died laughing as she slowly

suffocated in agony.

Do you want to know what

happened to your parents?

I saw one of the work camps of the SS...

In Treblinka, in the east...

If your parents were in Amsterdam

they were detained not later than '43,

and were brought there.

I have seen how the Jews

how they arrived in train cars...

The SS had built a set...

The barracks had been freshly painted

everything was decorated

with flowers, signs everywhere

everything looked

like a normal train station!

They drove the Jews out of the wagons...

The SS soldiers were

firm, some even friendly.

I heard one who said:

The Jews should hurry up, otherwise

the water will get cold, for showering...

But they burned them all!

Even in the villages miles

away, it still stank of death!

They k*lled them all

the old, the young, the children

3.000 people at a time!

When the w*r is over, the

world will know the truth!

We will not be forgiven...

Not in a thousand years!

You can leave, looks good...

I wonder if my sister

will still recognize me.

Show yourself!

I know you're dying!

I will get your clothes

don't worry.

When?

Tomorrow...

Very good

do it again.

When are you leaving?

Once Charlotte arrives...

I got something...

A farewell?

Bleh

How can anyone like that?

I would love to see

you in the blue dress...

I have to tell you something...

It's starting!

The Wehrmacht is near Wipptal

and seals it off to the north

that is the central

thrust of the Allies.

But you can bypass via Padaun.

The SS is waiting there

Now that the Americans are

here, the SS will be wiped out...

Then the advance goes via Vals...

I can't wait for Charlotte...

I'm leaving in the morning!

What do you think? Are the

Americans already near Vals?

When are they going to attack?

In a day or two I think

then they will also search

everything up here in the mountains

just like the SS.

If I don't go now, I'll

end up behind the line...

You got five b*ll*ts, not one more!

Take care.

Come with me.

What is that?

What do you mean?

I wanted to tell you...

You were with the SS!

My family has been m*rder*d

my friends!

I refused...

Get out!

Get the hell out of here! You m*rder*r!

You won't k*ll anyone else! Get lost!

I hope you die out there

or the Italians find you!

I'm coming in!

Anton

Sit down!

Keep going!

I did not think you would survive...

We should have looked for you longer.

You know, Anton, I've been

I've been thinking deeply!

For example, why you became a traitor.

This is my best friend

I've known him all my life!

I always looked up to you

have always been in your shadow.

But in my moment of success

when my achievements were

appreciated and I was promoted

you betray me?!

It's not about you,

or us!

It's about the atrocities we

were supposed to carry out!

You weakened our unit with your compassion!

My friend. We would have put

anyone else in front of a firing squad!

But your father's position

always protected you

Where are you going?

To disinfect...

What do you want?

I need something to disinfect.

Damn it, it was w*r

and terrible things happen in w*r!

But you have to remain human!

Don't make a wrong move, friend!

You and I, we joined the SS voluntarily...

And you have to keep your word after all!

To treat people like animals...

You know that was wrong!

You will be held accountable!

I've seen you grabbing

kids by their feet

smashing their heads against trees!

Like a fashion!

In 1940 it was fashion to

beat little children to death!

And a year later it was

fashion to tear them apart

in pairs, each at one end...

And then I knew, you are evil...

And this w*r was no longer my w*r...

And that is what it is all about!

You're not from around here, are you?

You patched him up, right?

You knew he was a deserter!

Why did you not just let him die?!

I made her!

She was my hostage!

But this morning somehow

she got hold of my g*n,

and the b*tch shoots at me!

Of course she thought, you were me!

She probably thought I was

trying to get the g*n back!

All right

But

Why did you come back?!

Come here...

Kneel down...

Georg!

Stay down!

You're a pretty thing...

You know, the alm is well hidden,

and if I hadn't heard the g*nshots

I would never have found you.

So you're lucky...

You have a protector now!

And for that I deserve a kiss...

Please stop...

Don't you think?

Did you see that?

Being nice grants you a kiss!

Drop it! Now!

What are you doing here?

Answer me!

Damn it Georg, she's just a child...

Shut your mouth!

Why are you here?

Now talk!

She just brought me some clothes

For whom is the food?

Why are you bringing this up here!

I am counting to three now...

You...

You are telling me everything!

One

Two

I am a Jew, I am in hiding...

Out

everyone!

Halt!

In the name of the German

people, I sentence you to death!

First the girl for behavior that is

harmful to the German people...

Then the Jew, as an enemy

of the German people...

And finally you... for treason!

Georg stop it...

Stop right there...

Let them go...

You can do what you want with me...

But leave Charlotte and Hannah alone.

k*ll me!

sh**t me!

I won't make it that

easy for you, my friend!

Don't die on me...

I told you, the Jew comes first,

and I still want to watch you die...

You understand why I need to do this?

You and all your kind, you are vermin

like doves...

Individually you might be quite a sight

but if you become too many

then you sh*t all over everything!

Destroy the roof... spread diseases,

and that is why we have to wipe you out!

But not only the adults

also the females, the chicks,

the eggs, the nests, just everything!

And then there are

people, again and again

like that little girl out there

they feed the little doves!

But you have to keep your house clean!

Am I right?

You are nothing more than sadists

who take pleasure in

torturing other people...

You are monsters!

Who were just waiting for the

right moment to crawl to the surface!

You... and all your friends...

You will burn in blazing flames

And no one... will help you.

And be aware...

That the angels will

take your souls to Sheol

and your souls will suffer...

And endure a severe trial

In darkness

shackles... and burning flames!

When I'm done with you

I will string you up!

Charlotte

Charlotte, if you are still

here, please help me...

If you want to help Hannah,

you have to help me first...

Charlotte... I've always been

afraid to do the right thing...

Rather saved my own skin...

But you told me

if a person needs

help, you have to help him!

Charlotte

Hide!

You must not leave me alone!

Damn it Charlotte, you are good at hiding!

I can help you!

Keep behind me,

and if something happens to me, you run!

Come!

Run around

throw a rock through the window, hurry!

I'm staying...

You really won't die!

Georg it's enough...

You've seen the clothes...

Put them on and then

we'll set off together...

Marie will be delighted...

You're not going anywhere, my friend...

You can do this!

I'll get this fixed...

You'll be back on your

feet in a few days,

and then you can be on your way!
