The Unprecedented Defence of the Fortress Deutschkreuz
1967 · 15 MIN · IMDB 5.8 · 874 VOTES · DIR. Werner Herzog
Overview
A satire on war and on the stupid things war inspires people to do. Four young men enter an abandoned fortress. Inside, they find military uniforms, which they immediately resolve to use to stage a bizarre war game. Their actions appear all the more senseless in relation to the peaceful everyday reality of the workers in the surrounding countryside.

00:08:26 All this has already happened.
00:10:09 otherwise they will be of no use.
00:10:56 I say:
00:11:26 When the enemy is out of sight everything is all right
00:11:51 then it's treachery...
00:13:11 others to be called back, but...
00:13:33 ignoring all the signals...
00:14:02 He who waits too long has to pay the consequences.
