Favourite line
Major von Hapen looks at Mary's ID-papers, presumably. Kramer steps in.
Colonel Paul Kramer: Do you find anything interesting Major?
Major von Hapen looks up a few seconds, then go on reading.
Colonel Paul Kramer: I heard there were some excitement in the village tonight?
Major von Hapen: Oh, nothing very serious. Just the arrests of four or five deserters, that's all.
Colonel Paul Kramer: Not quite. Those were the orders that were put out. Actually they were five Brittish agents, dressed in German uniforms.
Major von Hapen: Brittish agents? Why wasn't I informed?
Colonel Paul Kramer: I'm informing you now, Major.
Major von Hapen: If you send out the orders, Colonel, then you must have known for some time who they were and that they were in this district.
Colonel Paul Kramer: We called you in your office and in your rooms. You were not there.
Major von Hapen: Colonel, I don't have to remind you, do I, that I'm in charge of all the Gestapo activities in this area and if there are foreign agents then I am to be informed at once!
Colonel Paul Kramer: You were not here, Major!
Major von Hapen: Then you find me, Colonel!
Colonel Paul Kramer: My duties is to inform you, but not to search every gasthaus in the village to locate you.
Major von Hapen: I know your duties... and you loyalties...
Colonel Paul Kramer: Let me remind you Major, that I'm a Colonel in the SS and not some Lieutenant whom you can frighten with your threats.
Major von Hapen: Your military rank and position are obvious to me, Colonel, and so are your attempts to discredit me before my superiors in Berlin!
Colonel Paul Kramer: If there is any discredit, you bring it upon yourself. Good night!
