you realize how close i am to hitler. with one word i could have the gestapo make you disappear.
but you know. and when the ss catch you, they'll pull you apart like warm bread. it'll be a crime just to have known you then. i warn you. if it means protecting myself, i will expose you. do not try to contact me again.
so you think that makes me a sympathizer, eh? you give a man the choice of betraying a fellow officer or his führer and assume his actions will show you his heart. it's not that simple.
for the last time, don't push me to make a decision.
and what if you do, eh? what then? will you be any different from hitler? what of his reich, his people, the very momentum of history? will all of that let you be something he isn't?
there it is.
at east, gentlemen. general fellgiebel, communications. i just wanted to meet the hero of africa.  and see if there's anything you need.
of course, colonel.
i said olbricht. general olbricht at the war ministry. the call is urgent.
what does it look like? the führer is-
alive.
i am calling from the wolf's lair with urgent news for the general. something terrible has happened.
the führer is still alive.
sever all communications.
don't argue with me, dammit. just
