Meeting of Historical Figures and Their Plans
Fabian Sawatski
Sawatski, Fabian.
Adolf Hitler
Hitler, Adolf. Grossdeutsches Reich.
Sawatski
Your manager said you have a program?
Hitler
Of course I have a program.
Sawatski
Then say something like "Since 5:45 we are returning fire!" Like that?
Hitler
If you are quoting my speech, then you must know how it continues.
Sawatski
There's more? I'm listening.
Hitler
From now on, we shall repay bomb for bomb." What do you know about Poland?
Sawatski
Poland? Uh, the capital is Warsaw...
Hitler
Just facts from a book. A paper moth can digest that. How about real knowledge? You have 1.4 million men and only 30 days to take the whole country.
Sawatski
Why only 30 days?
Hitler
Where do you attack? And how do you keep the Romanians quiet?
Sawatski
The Romanians?
Hitler
Oh, pardon me. Who cares about the Romanians? General Sawatski, he does not look left, he does not look right, he just starts marching, that General Sawatski. Poland is an easy foe. But what's this? Suddenly our army has lots of small holes in its back. And out of those holes flows and oozes the blood of German heroes. Has our General perhaps forgotten about the Polish-Romanian alliance? You, Sawatski, could not find the way to Poland for any army in the world! You could not even find your way into your own uniform! I, on the other hand, know at all times where my uniform is! It's at the cleaner's!

Identity Confirmation in Unlikely Conversation
Sawatski
So what's your real name?
Hitler
Adolf Hitler! Like I told you!
Sawatski
Really?
Hitler
Yes, really.
Sawatski
What a coincidence.
Hitler
Oh, please. You have a name too. I don't say, "Oh, what a coincidence!
Sawatski
And you look like him. The mustache, the hair, your language. It's exactly the same.
Hitler
And do you look much different than your name?

History's Recurrence and Deceptive Narratives
Hitler
I was wondering when you would show up.
Sawatski
It's you. You're him.
Hitler
I never claimed to be anything else. History repeats itself. I guess it's my fate to have to part with my dearest companions.
Sawatski
That way. Yes, history repeats itself. You're fooling people with your propaganda.
Hitler
Oh, Sawatski. You don't understand. In 1933, people were not fooled by propaganda. They elected a leader, one who openly disclosed his plans with great clarity. The Germans elected me.
Sawatski
You're a monster.
Hitler
Am I? Then you have to condemn those who elected this monster. Were they all monsters? No. They were ordinary people, who chose to elect an extraordinary man, and entrust the fate of the country to him. What do you want to do, Sawatski? Ban elections?
Sawatski
No. But I'm going to stop you.
Hitler
Have you never asked yourself... why people follow me? Because at their core, they are just like me. They have the same values. And that's why you won't shoot.
Hitler
You can't get rid of me. I'm a part of you. A part of all of you. And look; it wasn't all bad.

Creative Ideas Spark Controversial Reactions
Adolf Hitler
People in a creative crisis come up with odd suggestions. Sawatski wanted to film "The Fuehrer at the Bank," or "The Fuehrer by the Sea", with me in a bathing suit! Goebbels would've turned in his grave.

Political Dialogue on National Representation
Ulf Birne
Ulf Birne, Federal Chairman of the National Democratic Party.
Hitler
Please. We have to talk.
Birne
It's my pleasure.
Hitler
So you represent the national cause?
Birne
Well... you haven't been around a while.
Hitler
I have to manage my time. The question is, what have you achieved up till now?
Birne
Our comrades-
Hitler
You share trenches with comrades. Except for me, however, that applies to nobody here.
Birne
Okay. We National Democrats...
Hitler
National Democrats. National Democracy! What is that supposed to be?! National Socialism requires a concept of democracy that is not suited for a name! How stupid can you be?! Have you read my book?
Birne
It's hard to get in Germany.
Hitler
Is that your excuse for having read it? Or for not having read it? Or for not having quite understood it?
[Contemptuously]
Birne
Well, this is... can we turn off the camera?
[''Visibly uncomfortable'']
Hitler
NO! You have wasted enough time. Each of your words throws the movement back by decades. What about race?
[''Throws a pamphlet at Birne'']
Birne
Germany for the Germans?
Hitler
Who else would it be for? The Poles? This is your best available man? Then best of luck, gentlemen.
[''Standing up to leave''; ''No one answers'']
