Prof. Dr. Ernst-Günter Schenck: [as the SS and Wehrmacht offices are leaving Berlin] I won't allow my staff to be evacuated!
SS-Obergruppenführer Tellermann: Is that so?
Prof. Dr. Ernst-Günter Schenck: The food supply to Berlin will collapse!
SS-Obergruppenführer Tellermann: A good soldier will always find something to eat.
Prof. Dr. Ernst-Günter Schenck: Yes. And when the fighting starts, who will he take food from? Civilians! I won't allow it!
SS-Obergruppenführer Tellermann: It's the Führer's Orders!
Prof. Dr. Ernst-Günter Schenck: As Department Head, I answer to the SS and Reichsführer Himmler. But as a doctor, I answer to the Wehrmacht and we are still here. Please keep that in mind.
SS-Obergruppenführer Tellermann: [to aides] The Professor can stay in Berlin. Please give him an authorized permit!

Adolf Hitler: [Screaming after Steiner didn't attack after giving an order] Traitors! I've been betrayed and deceived from the very beginning! What a monstrous betrayal of the German people, but all those traitors will pay. They'll pay with their own blood. They shall drown in their own blood!

Generalfeldmarschall Wilhelm Keitel: The Führer has lost all sense of reality.
Generaloberst Alfred Jodl: He moves divisions that only exist on his map. Steiner's scattered unit can hardly defend itself and yet, Steiner is ordered to attack! It's pure madness!
SS-Gruppenführer Hermann Fegelein: Then why don't you tell him yourself?
Generalfeldmarschall Wilhelm Keitel: He won't listen to reason. You should know that.
SS-Gruppenführer Hermann Fegelein: Something must be done.
Generalfeldmarschall Wilhelm Keitel: Are you insane? We'll be thrown out like Rundstedt and Guderian!
SS-Gruppenführer Hermann Fegelein: Yes, and?
Generaloberst Alfred Jodl: [glares at Fegelein] We are soldiers! We pledged our allegiance to the Führer!
SS-Gruppenführer Hermann Fegelein: So that means we are no longer allowed to think?
General der Infanterie Wilhelm Burgdorf: All this coming from you? An opportunist? A ruthless careerist?
SS-Gruppenführer Hermann Fegelein: Pardon?
