Trivia ? about Saving Private Ryan

[oldsoldier]

Ok, me and my buddies just watched saving private ryan. A question came up; The scene at the end, where the SS guy and the American are struggling on the floor; as SS is slipping his dagger into the americans chest, he is saying something to him. Two of us speak German (niether fluently, not even close), but we cant make out what he says. It sounds like something to the effect of "die with courage". Anyway, someone please settle this argument for me, and give me the translation!

I have watched that movie about 1,000,000,000,000 times, it's one of the best movies ever. Now Black Hawk Down is there also. I have no clue what he says, I struggle with Spanish.

Does kind of sound like Die with courage. But no one's going to know this..so give us some actual trivia questions in English lol.

[oldsoldier]

I am gonna replay the scene today, then do it word for word. Was just hoping someone could answer it for me.

What happens if you turn the subtitles on?

[wes]

you could write down the word and use babble fish to translat it!

that movie is AWESOME.. I LOVE IT. especially with the sniper part where they both have their sites on each other and the american shoots first and gets they guy RIGHT THORUGH the scope. I was like SWEET. its cool cuz their was this guy that actually did that one time.

[RATM]

Subtitles don't do anything. I tried that and like in the beginning when the two Germans put there hands up and surrender but are shot, when they talk it says "Speaking in Czech".

Ah, that shot was a hidden tribute to Carlos Hathcock.

Well, that makes more sense. Like I said, my german is extremely limited. Oh, and last nite was Marguerita nite, so that didnt help at all for translation. But, thats close enough. Thanks!

[davidb]

That's funny, my German usually gets much better on those kind of nights... But okay.

I noticed that too. If i remember correctly they also used the same "shot him through the scope" type scene in the movie "Sniper". (eh it was so-so)

They should do a movie about Carlos Hathcock...truth can be more interesting than fiction.

btw-i really liked Saving Ryans Privates...only thing ill nitpick on is the part with the sniper guy. He changes his scope during the action and shoots the bad guy. Correct me if im wrong, but in WWII they didnt have scope mounts that could do that *and* still stay zeroed in correctly. Just nitpicking tho :P

Joker, those online translators are crap. They tend not to take the fact that German and English don't translate directly into each other into account, and when they try to, you end up with "it is much simply simple for you, much. The part that I quoted him on was what he said clearly, and actually makes sense both in German and in English, without online translators changing the word order.
