CREDIT: Movie: Sahara (1943) Date: Thursday, November 11th, 1943 (USA) Actors: • J. Carrol Naish (Giuseppe) • Kurt Kreuzer (Captain von Schletow) Genre: Action, Drama, World War II DESCRIPTION: After a major battle in June 1942 an American tank crew, one of the few serving with the British 8th Army, is ordered to retreat south into the Sahara desert, the only direction that is open to them. Sergeant Joe Gunn (Humphrey Bogart) and the two surviving members of crew head off, collecting a motley crew of British and other Allied soldiers on the way. They even have an Italian and a German POW. Their biggest threat is the lack of water but having finally found a well, they have to deal with advancing Nazis who are also in dire need of water. Rather than flee however, they decide to stand their ground and face the battalion strength enemy. SCRIPT: Giuseppe: "Denounce me then ..." Giuseppe: Mussolini is not so clever like Hitler, he can dress his Italians up only to look like thieves, cheats, murderers, he cannot like Hitler, make them feel like that. He cannot, like Hitler, scrape from the conscience the knowledge that right is right and wrong is wrong, or dig holes in their heads to plant his own Ten Commandments: steal from thy neighbor, cheat thy neighbor, kill thy neighbor. Capt. von Schletow: You dare to insult the Führer? Giuseppe: That would take an artiste - I am but a mechanic. Giuseppe: "But are my eyes blind that I must fall to my knees to worship a maniac who has made of my country a concentration camp, who has made of my people slaves? Must I kiss the hand that beats me, lick the boot that kicks me, no! I rather spend my whole life living in this dirty hole than escape to fight again for things I do not believe against people I do not hate. As for your Hitler, it's because of a man like him that God – My God – created hell!" FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION: On Monday, May 7th, 1945 Germany surrenders, ending the war in Europe. Mystery and Victory Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:50-58 I tell you this, brothers: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality. When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” “O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the VICTORY THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.
