Funny / Charité at War

• Sauerbruch's wry attitude during the surgery recorded for TV.
  Sauerbruch: *to the host wanting to shake his hand* Watch out, I'm sterile — well, not the way you think.
• After the surgery, Sauerbruch complains to his secretary about "those amateurish butcher apprentices" who assist him. Enter Mrs. Sauerbruch.
  Margot Sauerbruch: Miss Fritsch, could an amateurish butcher apprentice please have a coffee? *kisses her husband*
  Ferdinand Sauerbruch: My dear Doctor Sauerbruch, of course you are already a butcher's assistant. And you deserve the first class Iron Cross for putting up with me.
  Miss Fritsch: With Oak Leaves.
  Margot Sauerbruch: More like the golden Close Combat Clasp.
• It's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, but when Martin and Otto talk about the Lohmann case, as Otto is getting dishes from the shelf, Martin looks at his butt for a split second — and then very pointedly decides he has to look somewhere else right now.
• Magda Goebbels certainly would be (and probably was) a pretty horrible person to be around in real life, but during her hospital stay, she can be somewhat funny in a bitter, morbid way. Perhaps because she's drunk all the time.
  Magda: Do you know the joke they tell about my husband, that he's a tadpole? Big mouth and a wagging tail.
  ——
  Magda: You really want to breastfeed?
  Anni: Of course. It's the most natural thing in the world.
  Magda: So do our men say. But they don't find sagging breasts attractive.
  ——
  Magda: *about Anni wanting to secure her livelihood in case of her husband's death* Well, then you'll just get a new man, sweetheart.
• Margot Sauerbruch and her housemaid chasing the goose through the house.
  • And Sauerbruch just stands there and laughs about it all.
• Martin snarking at Nazi official Manfred Roeder.
  Roeder: Bring me to Dohnanyi! Get a move on, or do I have to make you extra legs?
  Martin: *pulling up his trouser leg to show the prosthesis* Extra legs, huh?
• Sauerbruch yelling at Roeder until the latter makes a run for it, kind of subdued.
• Fritz Kolbe feigning a knee injury so he can regularly visit the hospital to keep doing his spy job. "Ow", indeed. One has to wonder how someone who's so bad at pretending managed to be a successful secret agent in the first place.
• When Sauerbruch briefs the staff on how to proceed, after an American Air Raid in broad daylight, he also has to say that his demand for a bedding bunker was denied by the 'Golden Pheasant in the Luftschutzamt', because it was deemed as an overreaction. The nickname is really quite amusing...
• Sauerbruch not-too-subtly deriding a Nazi's unsuccessful attempt to treat himself with homeopathic methods who's still defending the pseudo-medical "New German Medicine" even though he obviously needs a surgeon to treat his inguinal hernia. Duh. Pissed at this waste of his time when war casualties need to be taken care of, Sauerbruch suggests a very painful and lengthy treatment, causing the guy to admit that a surgery would probably be better indeed.
• Sauerbruch telling the Nazi official bluntly and with no trace of respect left what a completely moronic idea it is to arm the medical staff when every hand is needed to take care of the countless injured.
  Nazi official: *incredulously* Am I supposed to tell this Minister Goebbels like that?
  Sauerbruch: *yells* Please do so! *storms out*
  • A few seconds later, there's a distant bang.
    de Crinis: ...did Sauerbruch just explode?
