Quotes 

  • Princess Hermine : Tell us a little about yourself, Captain. Where's your family from?

    Capt. Stefan Brandt : Brandenburg, Your Highness. My grandfather was an army officer, as was my father. He was killed on the Somme just before I was born.

    Princess Hermine : And your mother?

    Capt. Stefan Brandt : From a landowning family.

    Princess Hermine : Really? Which one?

    Capt. Stefan Brandt : Related to the Ludendorffs, distantly. After the war, of course, she had to clean houses. I remember helping her wheel her wages home in a barrel. Of course by the time we'd got to the bakery, it was worthless.

    [an uneasy look passes between von Ilsemann and Hermine] 

    Capt. Stefan Brandt : She died of tuberculosis when I was twelve...

    Kaiser Wilhelm II : [pounds the table with his fist]  Am I to blame for every misfortune on this earth? I gave my life to the Fatherland, and this is my thanks? Nobody cares my navy betrayed me! Nobody remembers my army fell apart! Ludendorff, Bethmann, Tirpitz, where were they? Where were they? *Where were they?* After all I'd done for them, they stabbed me in the back! They lost me the war. They lost me my country.
