''Dear Kurt,
:34:13
l understand very well why you're
staying clear of your home country,
:34:18
since the weather here is miserable.
:34:21
Events aren't very cheery either.
:34:24
They've set a date
for the ''soldier'' trial.
:34:27
lt wouldn't help you
to come to Berlin.
:34:30
The reactionary press
would tear you apart,
:34:32
which they're are doing already.
:34:34
Just one heart-felt wish:
Don't tense up.
:34:37
We want to get together
and laugh about the past.
:34:41
Sincerely, Oss ( Ossietzky )''
:34:51
Remember the crazy way
people looked,
:34:53
when our money disappeared?
:34:55
And you could buy all of Germany
for practically 1 ,000 dollars?
:34:59
We all wanted to be cowboys.
:35:01
lt was a nice time.
:35:05
What's she doing?
:35:06
She thinks that's
how Swedes catchas fishas.
:35:09
l got one! l got one! l had one!
:35:16
How do you say ''Soldiers
are murderers'' in Swedish?
:35:20
Pardon me?
:35:21
lt's the language
you'll be writing in now.
:35:27
What's on your mind, friend?
:35:29
lt was a bit radical. Or to be
more precise: a daring statement.
:35:34
Other people have expressed it
before. l just copied it.
:35:39
l'm gradually
becoming a megalomaniac,
:35:42
hearing how l ruined Germany.
:35:45
Yet in all those years,
:35:47
l never succeeded in getting a
single policeman to leave his post.
:35:50
And that hurts.
:35:54
Daring, huh?
:35:57
Desperate maybe.
:35:59
You were a soldier, too.
Sure.
