NIX Posted January 20, 2000 Share Posted January 20, 2000 Just want to tap into the knowledge on this forum. I was watching Saving Private Ryan again and was wondering what does Corporal Uppum say to the German soldier, the one they had released, after he shoots Captain Miller. I know the last thing the German says is "Uppum", but what else do they say? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Zeares Posted January 20, 2000 Share Posted January 20, 2000 Oops, screwed up. I misread the question, thought you were asking what the German soldier said. I'll have to watch it again to catch what Uppam says. -- Mike Zeares (someone please delete this message, since I can't) [This message has been edited by Mike Zeares (edited 01-20-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWIIRulz Posted January 20, 2000 Share Posted January 20, 2000 I believe (but not 100% sure) he says "Upham, ?The Kennedy Man"? in poor English ------------------ Come see my CM page!! www.hometown.aol.com/lucky8202/index.html "The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his" --Gen.

Lindan Posted January 20, 2000 Share Posted January 20, 2000 German version (from memory, will check it later): Upham: Waffen runter! (Drop your weapons) German soldier: Upham? Ich kenne den Mann! (I know this man) *boom* Upham: Verschwindet. Los, haut ab! (aehm, like: get lost!) <hr> I'll check it up and edit this post then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Capt_Manieri Posted January 20, 2000 Share Posted January 20, 2000 Despite my age and overall stupidity.....I'm fluent in French, German, Italian and of course, English. I can pick parts of what steamboat willy said, Upham runs in, and says, "Die waffen niederlengen!!! Die waffen niederlengen!! translates to: Put down your guns!!! Then steamboat willy says "I know this man!!" What Upham says next is unclear.... Then after Upham shoots Steamboat Willy, and he says "werschwindet!" which means translate to "dissapear" and he says "haut ab" which is the command form of "strike off" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest phoenix Posted January 21, 2000 Share Posted January 21, 2000 Oh man was that scene difficult to watch. Ugh. My friend translated it to me last year. I can't recall exact words now, but he said in essence (and not in an aggressive way, but passively) that he should relax, war was hell, and the pain and suffering of the war would be over for him soon. Maybe someone with the DVD can turn on the subtitles and translate exactly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest coolguy101 Posted January 21, 2000 Share Posted January 21, 2000 A while back I was looking around at SPR websites to see if they have translations. One of the FAQ'S said that the guy said: "Give in . . . you have no other choice . . . make it easier for both of us . . . . shhhhhh." Yes a difficult scene to watch indeed. coolguy101 ------------------ Visit my World War 2 Website: http://www.angelfire.com/md/wars/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Fox Posted January 21, 2000 Share Posted January 21, 2000 That whole business with that guy they captured who shows up the next day in a different uniform and unit was just SO contrived and weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
