A scene from Valkyrie 2008
General Friedrich Fromm

[Fromm has learned that Stauffenberg and Olbricht tried to control the Reserve Army.]

How dare you put the Reserve Army on standby without my knowledge! It damn near cost me my commission! And what in God's name made you think you even had the authority?!

General Friedrich Olbricht

Fromm

Oh, don't lie, Olbricht! Not to me. We both know it wasn't a drill.

Col. Claus von Stauffenberg

General, if I may...

Fromm

No you may not, Colonel. You may not do anything. Because not only have you proven to me you can't deliver, you've painted a target on my back. If I so much as sense you trying to move the Reserve Army again, I will personally have you both arrested. Do I make myself abundantly clear?

Olbricht

Yes, sir.

Stauffenberg

Yes, sir.

Fromm

[Holds up hand]

Heil Hitler!

Olbricht

Heil Hitler. [Stauffenberg and Olbricht start to leave.]

Fromm

I'll hear you say it, Colonel!

Stauffenberg

[Stauffenberg stops in his tracks and turns around to face Fromm.] [Holds up his arm without his hand]

Heil Hitler!
