:47:00
I don't understand...
:47:02
I knew your father
at the French Front in 1916.
:47:06
A true Essenbeck, and a heroic officer.
:47:10
I know.
:47:11
The General Staff is quite firm
on this point. Either Röhm goes or we go.
:47:15
It's naked extortion.
:47:17
The SA is a knife at the throat
of the high finance and the Reichswehr.
:47:21
Consequently, it'll be necessary
to stop the flow...
:47:24
of the heavy artillery
into the barracks of the SA.
:47:29
Is that your personal opinion?
:47:31
It is the opinion of the general staff.
:47:34
And also of the Chancellor,
if you don't mind my saying so.
:47:38
The army is the army,
and the SA is the SA.
:47:42
We are not concerned with internal order.
:47:44
And we will not divide
our traditional duties with others.
:47:48
Traditional duties?
:47:51
I'd like to know
where the Prussian generals were...
:47:54
when we cleaned up Germany
from top to bottom?
:47:57
- This country will never be clean enough...
- I beg your pardon.
:48:01
Gentlemen.
:48:04
No one doubts the merits
of the attack formations, dear cousin.
:48:08
We ourselves would not be here
without the work of the SA.
:48:12
But heavy arms are not needed
for public order.
:48:17
All you have to do is look around.
:48:19
Germany is the most orderly country
in the whole world.
:48:23
It's a pleasure
for the American and English tourists.
:48:27
What more do you want?
:48:31
And so, gentlemen, we're all agreed.
:48:33
Not one single machine gun
leaves this place...
:48:37
unless it is requested by the general staff.
:48:56
We are close to the elections, Frederick...
:48:59
and we must win them at all costs
if we want them to be the last.
