00:01:42,875 --> 00:01:46,333
6 JUNE 1944
THE INVASION OF NORMANDY

2
00:01:59,208 --> 00:02:02,291
After two months of fighting
the Germans were forced to withdraw.

3
00:02:08,458 --> 00:02:12,583
The Allies urgently needed a port
to keep the troops supplied.

4
00:02:17,500 --> 00:02:19,750
BELGIUM

5
00:02:19,833 --> 00:02:21,375
BRUSSELS

6
00:02:21,458 --> 00:02:23,208
ANTWERP

7
00:02:23,291 --> 00:02:30,291
Antwerp is liberated. The port is intact.

8
00:02:31,541 --> 00:02:33,333
THE SCHELDT

9
00:02:33,416 --> 00:02:38,041
But while the Germans
still have control over the Scheldt,

10
00:02:38,625 --> 00:02:43,250
Allied ships
cannot reach the port of Antwerp.

11
00:02:46,916 --> 00:02:53,916
Part of the German army
withdraws from the Scheldt.

12
00:03:01,625 --> 00:03:08,625
The Netherlands thinks
it will be liberated at any moment.

13
00:05:35,291 --> 00:05:37,833
ELEC. BAKERY
SCHOENMAKERS

14
00:06:42,583 --> 00:06:43,875
Hand over the camera.

15
00:06:45,041 --> 00:06:46,541
Give me the camera.

16
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,750
Where are your liberators now?
Where are they?

17
00:06:51,708 --> 00:06:53,833
Idiots. We are still in charge.

18
00:07:00,833 --> 00:07:02,500
Hey, move out of the way.

19
00:07:11,875 --> 00:07:13,000
Move.

20
00:07:34,083 --> 00:07:35,250
It was him.

21
00:07:40,500 --> 00:07:42,000
Don't move.

22
00:09:13,958 --> 00:09:18,625
NARVA, THE RUSSIAN FRONT. 11 AUGUST 1944.

23
00:09:19,458 --> 00:09:21,458
You. Get up.

24
00:13:46,458 --> 00:13:50,250
DORSET, ENGLAND. 16 SEPTEMBER, 1944.

25
00:17:24,833 --> 00:17:25,833
Van Staveren.

26
00:17:26,833 --> 00:17:31,666
You're very lucky.
We removed a splinter from your guts.

27
00:17:31,750 --> 00:17:33,750
Don't move too much. Try to sleep.

28
00:17:36,333 --> 00:17:40,125
Take a look at these guys.
I wonder if it helps, idiot.

29
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,416
Are you Dutch?

30
00:17:53,041 --> 00:17:54,958
How are you feeling?

31
00:17:59,833 --> 00:18:01,083
Are you lost?

32
00:18:03,541 --> 00:18:05,541
Ah, you're on holiday?

33
00:18:06,458 --> 00:18:09,791
I understand. In beautiful Russia.

34
00:18:10,541 --> 00:18:13,791
With its picturesque scenery
and friendly farmers.

35
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,000
Have you sent a postcard home yet?

36
00:18:24,833 --> 00:18:26,083
Dear mama...

37
00:18:26,958 --> 00:18:30,291
a little card from the Third Reich.
It's wonderful here.

38
00:18:31,833 --> 00:18:33,583
I love national socialism.

39
00:18:33,666 --> 00:18:35,500
I would happily die for it.

40
00:18:36,750 --> 00:18:38,458
Are you an officer?

41
00:18:41,666 --> 00:18:43,750
First Lieutenant Friedrich Fischer.

42
00:18:44,708 --> 00:18:45,875
Still.

43
00:18:49,458 --> 00:18:51,625
You should actually salute me, but...

44
00:18:52,666 --> 00:18:54,125
Have a rest first.

45
00:18:56,458 --> 00:18:58,083
You've earned it.

46
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,416
All my father did was work.

47
00:22:23,041 --> 00:22:26,625
He grafted from early morning
to late at night for...

48
00:22:27,458 --> 00:22:28,875
a pittance.

49
00:22:29,833 --> 00:22:31,458
And that will never change.

50
00:22:32,625 --> 00:22:36,625
It will be exactly the same
for my little brother and sisters.

51
00:22:37,791 --> 00:22:39,041
Is that fair?

52
00:22:39,583 --> 00:22:41,583
I never saw you as an idealist.

53
00:22:41,666 --> 00:22:45,958
Nothing will change unless someone
does something about it and...

54
00:22:46,958 --> 00:22:48,625
- I want...
- Strength.

55
00:22:49,125 --> 00:22:52,166
- I want to be proud.
- Equality. Brotherhood.

56
00:22:55,750 --> 00:22:57,750
I've learned something, Dutchman.

57
00:22:59,291 --> 00:23:01,125
If the lie is big enough...

58
00:23:02,625 --> 00:23:04,625
and you tell it often enough...

59
00:23:06,166 --> 00:23:08,583
then people start to believe it.

60
00:23:09,166 --> 00:23:10,750
Do you know who said that?

61
00:23:12,083 --> 00:23:14,958
Our Minister of Propaganda,
Joseph Goebbels.

62
00:23:19,125 --> 00:23:21,541
Are there any Jews in your neighborhood?

63
00:23:22,208 --> 00:23:24,958
Most were arrested
at the start of the war.

64
00:23:25,041 --> 00:23:26,083
And?

65
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:29,666
Did you ever see them again?

66
00:23:32,583 --> 00:23:34,333
There's your equality.

67
00:23:37,125 --> 00:23:40,083
The Jews,
they're all criminals and racketeers.

68
00:23:43,750 --> 00:23:47,166
Does Chelmno mean anything to you?

69
00:23:51,833 --> 00:23:55,458
That's where they took me
when they had no further use for me.

70
00:23:58,166 --> 00:24:01,750
The elderly, the sick, children...

71
00:24:02,500 --> 00:24:05,375
babies... Jews, yeah.

72
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:12,291
I was the guard.

73
00:24:19,875 --> 00:24:21,708
There is no such thing as good.

74
00:24:23,583 --> 00:24:24,875
The evil...

75
00:24:26,083 --> 00:24:28,416
in everyone. In every one of us.

76
00:26:09,166 --> 00:26:10,500
Oberst Berghof.

77
00:26:10,583 --> 00:26:12,666
Mayor Oostveen.

78
00:26:12,750 --> 00:26:14,583
What can I do for you?

79
00:26:14,666 --> 00:26:18,166
I am responsible
for defending this island.

80
00:26:18,250 --> 00:26:21,416
I cannot let resistance terrorists
go unpunished.

81
00:26:22,500 --> 00:26:23,500
Of course.

82
00:26:23,583 --> 00:26:25,416
If necessary,

83
00:26:25,500 --> 00:26:29,750
I will arrest all the young men
who are registered here.

84
00:26:32,500 --> 00:26:33,541
Of course.

85
00:26:34,291 --> 00:26:36,041
I hope I can count on you.

86
00:26:36,125 --> 00:26:37,583
Have a nice day.

87
00:28:55,500 --> 00:28:57,208
Volunteer in the navy?

88
00:28:58,166 --> 00:29:00,333
Assigned to the shock troops?

89
00:29:00,416 --> 00:29:01,750
Yes, Captain.

90
00:29:02,708 --> 00:29:04,791
I understand that you are better.

91
00:29:07,166 --> 00:29:08,291
Good, I'll...

92
00:29:09,750 --> 00:29:11,208
send you back in.

93
00:29:11,291 --> 00:29:14,750
You start next week.
You're being transferred to Holland.

94
00:29:16,916 --> 00:29:17,958
To Holland?

95
00:29:22,625 --> 00:29:24,833
You leave tomorrow. Dismissed.

96
00:29:35,250 --> 00:29:36,666
Today is your lucky day.

97
00:29:37,875 --> 00:29:41,000
I made a call. You're getting a desk job.

98
00:29:43,458 --> 00:29:44,958
In Zeeland, in the south.

99
00:29:45,458 --> 00:29:47,625
Keep your head down, Dutchman.

100
00:29:49,916 --> 00:29:51,916
This shit will be over soon.

101
00:29:52,791 --> 00:29:55,083
And then you can start over.

102
00:29:55,166 --> 00:29:56,666
I promise.

103
00:37:09,833 --> 00:37:11,500
- Is this the Vissers' place?
- Yes.

104
00:37:11,583 --> 00:37:13,208
Is your father home?

105
00:37:13,291 --> 00:37:14,625
He's on duty.

106
00:37:14,708 --> 00:37:16,000
May I wait for him here?

107
00:37:32,750 --> 00:37:33,750
Lovely.

108
00:37:46,458 --> 00:37:47,750
Very nicely furnished.

109
00:38:02,833 --> 00:38:04,500
Can I get you something to drink?

110
00:38:04,583 --> 00:38:07,000
Some water would be nice.

111
00:38:08,500 --> 00:38:09,500
Okay.

112
00:38:48,125 --> 00:38:49,541
- Thank you.
- My pleasure.

113
00:38:57,291 --> 00:38:58,708
Is that your mother?

114
00:39:00,708 --> 00:39:01,708
Where is she?

115
00:39:02,833 --> 00:39:04,083
She went to her grave.

116
00:39:05,208 --> 00:39:06,208
I'm sorry.

117
00:39:12,375 --> 00:39:15,750
My troops were involved in an accident
two weeks ago.

118
00:39:17,791 --> 00:39:21,416
Three of my men are now
in their graves, too. Practically kids.

119
00:39:27,333 --> 00:39:29,958
And that's your brother, I take it. Wim?

120
00:39:30,041 --> 00:39:31,375
Dirk.

121
00:39:31,458 --> 00:39:33,750
Ah, yes. Of course. Dirk.

122
00:39:39,916 --> 00:39:42,666
Good day. How can I help you?

123
00:39:49,583 --> 00:39:53,166
Dr. Visser, it is an honor to meet you.

124
00:39:55,083 --> 00:39:57,291
- Oberst Berghof.
- It's a pleasure.

125
00:39:57,375 --> 00:39:59,375
What can I do for you?

126
00:39:59,458 --> 00:40:01,041
Maybe you can help me.

127
00:41:18,666 --> 00:41:21,958
It's been five weeks,
and it's only getting worse.

128
00:41:23,041 --> 00:41:25,500
It literally caught fire.

129
00:41:25,583 --> 00:41:29,250
I'll clean and disinfect the wound,

130
00:41:29,333 --> 00:41:32,166
and once we're in hospital, I can...

131
00:41:33,958 --> 00:41:35,541
remove the shrapnel.

132
00:41:36,541 --> 00:41:38,416
You are a true doctor.

133
00:41:40,041 --> 00:41:41,916
Passionate about your job.

134
00:41:42,916 --> 00:41:44,250
It's very clear.

135
00:41:44,333 --> 00:41:47,333
Someone who does the right thing
in difficult circumstances.

136
00:41:49,166 --> 00:41:51,333
Even if it requires personal sacrifice.

137
00:41:55,333 --> 00:41:59,791
When you speak to your son,
ask him to report to our headquarters.

138
00:42:01,208 --> 00:42:02,208
Yes.

139
00:42:04,541 --> 00:42:06,541
DR. A. VISSER

140
00:45:02,333 --> 00:45:04,583
- Follow me to the ground floor.
- Yes.

141
00:45:20,083 --> 00:45:22,250
- Dr. Visser.
- Oberst Berghof.

142
00:45:23,375 --> 00:45:24,375
Please.

143
00:45:30,375 --> 00:45:31,708
It's good you're here.

144
00:45:31,791 --> 00:45:35,375
I take it you can tell me more
about the terrorist at large.

145
00:45:36,750 --> 00:45:39,875
No, my son isn't... Oh, no.

146
00:45:41,333 --> 00:45:45,791
It was negligence,
a moment of carelessness.

147
00:45:45,875 --> 00:45:47,791
- It was an accident.
- Yes.

148
00:45:47,875 --> 00:45:50,208
- It was never his intention...
- And here we are.

149
00:45:52,166 --> 00:45:58,083
To say how deeply sorry he is.

150
00:45:58,166 --> 00:46:02,750
We hope that perhaps
we could reach...

151
00:46:04,500 --> 00:46:05,500
an understanding?

152
00:46:10,666 --> 00:46:13,291
You know,
I hold a deep respect for people like you.

153
00:46:14,375 --> 00:46:15,875
In times of war or peace,

154
00:46:15,958 --> 00:46:18,875
your moral compass
always steers you in the right direction.

155
00:46:19,541 --> 00:46:21,583
Just like in my own ranks.

156
00:46:21,666 --> 00:46:26,250
I do my duty honorably
and in good conscience.

157
00:46:27,416 --> 00:46:29,666
But not everyone is up to the task.

158
00:46:31,250 --> 00:46:35,666
Very few people have your fortitude,
Dr. Visser.

159
00:46:37,958 --> 00:46:38,958
Thank you.

160
00:46:39,291 --> 00:46:40,458
That is why...

161
00:46:44,333 --> 00:46:48,583
my son wants to turn himself in.

162
00:46:49,166 --> 00:46:50,458
Under two conditions.

163
00:46:52,250 --> 00:46:58,125
First, the other boys to be released.
They are innocent, right?

164
00:46:58,625 --> 00:47:04,291
Second,
Dirk himself to receive a sentence...

165
00:47:05,166 --> 00:47:06,250
serve time in prison.

166
00:47:07,333 --> 00:47:10,541
A life sentence, if need be...

167
00:47:12,416 --> 00:47:14,416
instead of...

168
00:47:32,166 --> 00:47:33,166
What did you say?

169
00:47:41,416 --> 00:47:45,208
I said my dad's is working
the night shift, and it's almost here.

170
00:47:49,958 --> 00:47:51,083
What did she say?

171
00:47:54,583 --> 00:47:56,208
That her father has to go to work.

172
00:47:58,916 --> 00:48:00,791
No, before that.

173
00:48:09,750 --> 00:48:12,250
She's afraid
that you're playing games with him.

174
00:48:18,833 --> 00:48:22,000
You work for our respected Mayor Oostveen,
don't you?

175
00:48:25,458 --> 00:48:27,541
People like you and your father,

176
00:48:27,625 --> 00:48:30,833
I truly appreciate
your great sense of duty.

177
00:48:32,250 --> 00:48:36,875
Dr. Visser, you've always helped
my injured men.

178
00:48:37,500 --> 00:48:39,166
Now let me help you.

179
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:45,291
I have to sentence your son.
There's nothing I can do about that.

180
00:48:47,083 --> 00:48:51,333
But I will ensure
that his punishment is light.

181
00:48:54,500 --> 00:48:55,500
You have my word.

182
00:56:55,083 --> 00:56:56,166
What do you think?

183
00:56:57,708 --> 00:56:59,625
Is a 17-year-old still a child?

184
00:57:02,250 --> 00:57:04,041
Where were you at 17?

185
00:57:04,625 --> 00:57:06,750
At a training camp in Bavaria.

186
00:57:08,875 --> 00:57:10,416
Was that your own choice?

187
00:57:11,125 --> 00:57:12,125
Yes.

188
00:57:16,416 --> 00:57:20,583
This boy knew exactly what he was doing
when he joined the resistance.

189
00:57:20,666 --> 00:57:25,041
I feel sorry for his father and sister,
but I can't make any exceptions.

190
01:08:15,041 --> 01:08:17,666
Fritz, look what I've found.

191
01:08:19,958 --> 01:08:22,166
Don't touch. Get your hands off me.

192
01:08:24,500 --> 01:08:25,500
Watch out.

193
01:08:37,666 --> 01:08:39,083
Show me your hands.

194
01:08:44,333 --> 01:08:46,916
If he makes another noise, just shoot him.

195
01:09:05,958 --> 01:09:07,958
Don't shoot. I'm alone.

196
01:09:09,291 --> 01:09:10,291
Easy.

197
01:09:11,750 --> 01:09:12,750
Easy.

198
01:09:14,333 --> 01:09:17,166
Let me go,
and I won't tell anyone I've seen you.

199
01:09:20,416 --> 01:09:23,250
Easy, my friend. I'll do whatever you say.

200
01:10:36,291 --> 01:10:38,291
- Drop your weapon.
- Shoot, William.

201
01:10:40,541 --> 01:10:43,000
- Whatever happens, just shoot.
- Shut up.

202
01:10:43,083 --> 01:10:44,250
Drop your weapon.

203
01:12:25,500 --> 01:12:26,750
Find the addresses.

204
01:12:28,291 --> 01:12:29,625
As soon as possible.

205
01:12:29,708 --> 01:12:31,541
Five people, all men.

206
01:12:31,625 --> 01:12:34,416
If there had been more,
he would have told me.

207
01:12:34,500 --> 01:12:38,083
He tried to act tough for the first hour.

208
01:12:39,041 --> 01:12:43,208
But then I increased the pressure
and he eventually named them all.

209
01:12:43,291 --> 01:12:44,333
Good.

210
01:12:45,041 --> 01:12:47,166
Arrest and execute them immediately.

211
01:12:48,541 --> 01:12:51,083
And the boy? What should we do with him?

212
01:12:51,166 --> 01:12:52,625
No special treatment.

213
01:12:53,375 --> 01:12:54,583
Good.

214
01:15:26,958 --> 01:15:27,958
Quick.

215
01:15:28,416 --> 01:15:32,208
I said, don't move. Stand still.

216
01:15:35,458 --> 01:15:37,708
No. Please. Please don't.

217
01:15:38,875 --> 01:15:39,875
Stay still.

218
01:15:42,000 --> 01:15:43,083
Hands up.

219
01:16:12,166 --> 01:16:14,333
There's no need to sit down.

220
01:16:22,500 --> 01:16:24,708
It's a shame about the training camp.

221
01:16:26,750 --> 01:16:28,458
Wasted effort.

222
01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:31,541
Pack your things.

223
01:16:32,291 --> 01:16:34,583
Report to the courtyard.

224
01:17:30,833 --> 01:17:31,833
Get in.

225
01:17:58,625 --> 01:18:00,916
LOCAL COMMAND

226
01:18:09,750 --> 01:18:10,916
Stop. Stay still.

227
01:18:11,541 --> 01:18:12,791
- Papers, please.
- Yes.

228
01:18:18,750 --> 01:18:19,791
Go on.

229
01:18:46,125 --> 01:18:47,458
Oberst Berghof.

230
01:18:50,333 --> 01:18:52,333
I need to speak to Oberst Berghof.

231
01:18:52,416 --> 01:18:53,833
Oberst Berghof.

232
01:18:54,750 --> 01:18:56,000
Oberst Berghof.

233
01:18:56,666 --> 01:18:58,333
Please, may I speak with you?

234
01:18:59,791 --> 01:19:00,791
Please.

235
01:19:01,583 --> 01:19:02,583
Please.

236
01:20:35,583 --> 01:20:36,791
Approach.

237
01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:04,000
Ready.

238
01:21:05,208 --> 01:21:06,333
Aim.

239
01:21:15,375 --> 01:21:16,375
Fire.

240
01:21:25,875 --> 01:21:26,875
Stand back.

241
01:25:30,291 --> 01:25:32,375
Stop. ID, please.

242
01:25:34,375 --> 01:25:35,375
You too.

243
01:25:36,083 --> 01:25:37,916
Behind.

244
01:25:40,041 --> 01:25:41,041
Go on.

245
01:25:41,666 --> 01:25:42,750
Open it.

246
01:26:02,291 --> 01:26:03,958
Get out. Faster.

247
01:26:04,958 --> 01:26:06,041
Come on, men.

248
01:26:07,708 --> 01:26:09,000
Up. Keep going.

249
01:26:15,541 --> 01:26:17,125
Faster. Keep going.

250
01:26:20,583 --> 01:26:21,583
Faster.

251
01:26:24,583 --> 01:26:25,583
Soldiers.

252
01:26:28,250 --> 01:26:29,666
You are all tired...

253
01:26:31,250 --> 01:26:34,958
sick, cold and wet.

254
01:26:36,208 --> 01:26:38,375
But we mustn't give up.

255
01:26:39,291 --> 01:26:43,250
Walcheren is our stronghold.
Hitler's stronghold.

256
01:26:45,041 --> 01:26:47,833
They will attack us with all their might.

257
01:26:47,916 --> 01:26:51,625
But we will fight down to the last man.

258
01:26:53,416 --> 01:26:55,416
We won't surrender.

259
01:26:57,500 --> 01:26:58,666
Never.

260
01:35:27,958 --> 01:35:29,041
Get into position.

261
01:35:35,750 --> 01:35:37,750
Everyone get ready to fire.

262
01:35:38,291 --> 01:35:39,666
Get ready to fire.

263
01:35:43,791 --> 01:35:45,458
Get ready to fire.

264
01:39:32,791 --> 01:39:34,125
Load.

265
01:39:39,833 --> 01:39:40,833
Faster.

266
01:42:26,083 --> 01:42:27,416
Cease fire.

267
01:42:28,458 --> 01:42:29,750
Cease fire.

268
01:42:31,000 --> 01:42:32,250
Cease fire.

269
01:48:09,583 --> 01:48:10,583
Stand up.

270
01:48:14,208 --> 01:48:15,625
Stand up.

271
01:48:17,500 --> 01:48:19,375
Stand up, now.

272
01:48:24,125 --> 01:48:25,291
Shoot.

273
01:48:26,500 --> 01:48:27,833
Shoot.

274
01:54:14,291 --> 01:54:16,666
Fritz, hurry up. Get in.

275
01:54:17,291 --> 01:54:18,833
Fritz, hurry up.

276
01:54:24,458 --> 01:54:28,416
Open up. Open the fucking door.

277
01:59:58,291 --> 02:00:02,791
On 7 November 1944
Walcheren was liberated.

278
02:00:02,875 --> 02:00:09,875
The Allied ships
could reach the port of Antwerp.

279
02:00:09,958 --> 02:00:16,916
The final offensive against Germany
was beginning.

280
02:00:19,625 --> 02:00:21,541
The battle of the Scheldt cost

281
02:00:21,625 --> 02:00:27,166
3231 Allied lives, 4250 German lives
and the lives of 2283 civilians.

282
02:00:30,125 --> 02:00:35,750
On 5 May 1945
the Netherlands was liberated.

283
02:06:37,208 --> 02:06:40,083
