The screen again shows images of German girls. The soldier continues:
“‘Can we take the responsibility for shooting little children?’ Then he says: ‘Take your
men.’ Once again I said: ‘How could they do it? They have little kids themselves.’”
The screen is filled with pictures of
German officers helping little blond
German girls. The soldier goes on:
“This tug of war lasted ten minutes. I
suggested that the Ukrainian militia
should shoot the children. And nobody
objected.”
The screen shows the soldiers again.
Another soldier says:
“Picking berries would be nice. Yes-
terday was Thanksgiving.” (01:03:20–
01:04:28)
In the second sequence one of the
German soldiers tells about his night-
mare the night before:
The soldier says:
“I had a terrible night. How can a dream be
as true and expressive as reality?”
The screen is filled with images of
soldiers walking with rifles through
green pastures.
