:51:00
Why did I do them?
:51:02
Because I want
to leave the German people something.
:51:05
I want to leave them a shred of dignity.
:51:07
I want to call a halt to these proceedings.
:51:10
If we allow them
to discredit every German like you...
:51:13
we lose the right to rule ourselves forever.
:51:17
We have to look at the future.
We can't look back now.
:51:21
Do you want the Americans
to stay here forever? Do you want that?
:51:24
I could show you a picture
of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
:51:28
Thousands and thousands
of burned bodies.
:51:30
Women and children.
:51:33
Is that their superior morality?
:51:36
Where do you think they take us?
Do you think they know?
:51:39
Do you think they have any concept
of our problems?
:51:47
What can I say to you?
:51:50
What can I say to you to make you see?
:52:00
There is nothing you can say.
:52:04
Nothing.
:52:06
Nothing has happened to alleviate the crisis.
:52:08
The crisis reached a head this afternoon...
:52:10
when all rail travel between
Western zones and Berlin was stopped.
:52:14
The blockade by land is now complete.
:52:24
What do you think
we're going to do, General?
:52:26
Do you think we'll withdraw?
:52:27
We can't withdraw.
:52:29
If we withdraw under pressure,
our prestige all over the world is threatened.
:52:32
The Communists will move in
on every front.
:52:35
What about these trials, General?
How do you feel about them now?
:52:40
We're committed to the trials.
:52:42
But I think it would be realistic
to accelerate them as much as possible.
:52:47
What would happen
if they fired on one of our planes?
:52:49
I'm afraid we'll have to face that
when it happens.
:52:52
There is no other answer
to that question at this time.
:52:57
You fellows should try
some of the strudel. It's excellent here.
