It has succeeded in breaking through the front in broad formation. In the south, the enemy has taken Zossen and is advancing towards Stahnsdorf. The enemy is now operating on the northern outskirts between Frohnau and Pankow, and in the east, the enemy has reached the line of Lichtenbergsdorf and Karst. With Steiner's attack, everything will be alright, my Führer. Steiner could not assemble enough forces for an attack. The Steiner attack did not take place. In the area, J. Krebs and Bockdorf remain. That was an order. The attack Steiner was an order. Do you understand? My Führer, that is an outrageous accusation. The entire general staff is no more than a bunch of cowardly traitors. My Führer, I cannot allow the soldiers who fight for you to be treated like this. What you are saying is outrageous. The general staff is a disgrace to the German people; it is without honor. They are generals who have spent years at military academies just to learn how to hold a knife and fork. The military has only hindered operations; it has removed all resistance. I would have done well to dismiss all officers years ago. I have never been at an academy, and yet I have conquered on my own from the very beginning. I have been betrayed and deceived; it is an outrageous betrayal of the German people. But everyone...

Dieser Verter wird mit ihrem eigenen Blut bezahlen. Sie werden das Saufen in ihrem eigenen Blut bezahlen. Bitte, Gerner, jetzt beruhige dich doch. Meine Befehle sind in den Wind gesprochen. Es ist unmöglich, unter diesen Umständen zu führen. Es ist aus, der Krieg ist verloren. Aber wenn Sie, meine Herren, glauben, dass ich deshalb Berlin verlasse, irren Sie sich gewaltig. Ich jage mir eine Kugel durch den Kopf. Tun Sie, was Sie wollen.

Er fordert seine Herren auf, zu tun, was sie wollen, und zeigt damit seine Ausweglosigkeit.
