00:11:11 Comrade lieutenant, you can see the state of the road!
00:16:03 Only your diary, but that's evidence.
00:36:03 You shout a lot. Shouting never broke an iron.
00:38:10 I couldn't understand why the Russian planes fired at you.
00:40:26 I'll take the chain off and go.
00:42:50 What are you waiting for?
00:44:34 They weren't as practical. I could've taken the bullet out of the shell...
00:47:28 {y:i}Bitte, eine Zigarette.
00:50:15 Maybe just enough for the deer. They can eat moss even under the snow.
00:52:41 I wouldn't mind if you threw me down on a deerskin, lad.
00:55:46 Did he write anything in his life except to inform on people?
00:57:44 Even taking your rifle to the sauna?
01:00:04 It crowed and went to sleep.
01:05:40 Don't be.
01:08:18 Go away! What are you looking at?
01:09:51 I just brought them!
01:12:32 You were crafty, throwing me in the fire.
01:16:49 What's happened?
01:19:24 Look, Gerlost! I'm going to break this cursed rifle!
01:21:50 I can't remember how to keep him from the land of the dead.
01:30:26 ...to your body lying on the shore.
01:34:03 Thank you, Anni.
01:36:17 A bad man wounded one of them, and the other brought him to me.
