Oh, I know that for every German killed, many of our innocent civilians are executed. But the example of their heroism is contagious and our resistance grows. Oh it’s very easy to talk about heroism in the free countries. But it’s hard to talk about it here where our people are starving. The hard truth is, the hungrier we get, the more we need our heroes.

I must go not because I’m harmful to society, which is you, but because I’m harmful to tyranny.

I'm sure I read somewhere that that line was improvised off the cuff as well, but that could be an urban myth.

Watched that not long after it came out internationally (though before it hit the UK) - on a longhaul flight, I think. Impressive piece of cinema.

Ups, hang on.... I misread that. The one I saw on a plane was '"Land of Mine", a Danish picture from 2015 about a group of young - children, really - Wehrmacht PoWs being made to clear landmines on a beach, under the watch of a war-weary and embittered Danish sergeant in the immediate post WW2 period. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3841424/ Worth seeing.

That's very funny as I was really surprised when I read your previous post and you said you saw a 1943 movie on an international flight not long after it came out. Showing that one's mind can fill in blanks that aren't there, I assumed you meant after a recent rerelease of the movie on Criterion (probably with a fresh restoration) or something like that and, then, I assumed you meant you watched it on your laptop on the flight.

That would make sense. I think I'm just have a bit of a stupid today - it has been a very challenging few weeks at work as the University seeks to ensure we deliver ever more while being staffed at the level we were when our programme was less than half the size it is now.
