- Heinrich Müller: We make the truth.
- [His Last Request in the investigation Room]
- Georg Elser: Miss Secretary, may I ask you something?
- Frau im Dorf: You're not allowed.
- Georg Elser: I know you're not wholly unmoved. Please.
- Georg Elser: I would be grateful if you could pass on my condolences to the relatives, my heartfelt condolences. I think about them all day. And, if possible, tell Elsa and my family that I'm well at the moment.
- Georg Elser: And that I am praying for the Lord to protect them. And that I accept sole responsibility for everything. Could you pass that on, please?
