00:00 - 00:03..coming back from Moscow,
00:04 - 00:05we must rush through
00:05 - 00:07the retreat operation
00:08 - 00:12and make haste toward Berlin.
00:12 - 00:15History will end juuust here.
00:17 - 00:19No worries, there's time
00:19 - 00:21We can do it in the fall
00:24 - 00:26Dear teacher...
00:27 - 00:28The kids...
00:31 - 00:33The kids are going to Bali to attend Green School
00:34 - 00:36There are no more lessons
00:53 - 00:58I will need a moment to handle this. Give me a second and close the door.
01:13 - 01:15This is unheard of!
01:15 - 01:17We had such plans for the future!
01:18 - 01:23We were going to spend hours sticking arrows to the map
01:25 - 01:28I was willing to do a special on tanks
01:29 - 01:31Anders would have loved it!
01:31 - 01:34We could have talked about the end of the SS
01:34 - 01:37We were still in the middle of the African campaign
01:37 - 01:40With their pointless back and forth
01:40 - 01:42My teacher, the kids chose this...
01:42 - 01:46We had not even STARTED Pearl Harbor
01:46 - 01:48My teacher, it was never just you
01:48 - 01:52How are they going to learn about ships made of ice?
01:53 - 01:54Or the floating brewery?
01:56 - 01:57You think it's a game
01:57 - 02:00But history is long and boring and full of facts
02:00 - 02:03It takes a special kind of crazy just to read it all
02:04 - 02:08And then find the bits that actually make sense
02:08 - 02:13I'm still haunted by my promise to talk about the Ottomans
02:14 - 02:16It's just so darn complicated
02:17 - 02:21They all had the same name as this one Turkish guy in Tallinn!
02:27 - 02:29Don't even get me started
02:30 - 02:34on the history of art. I know it was
02:34 - 02:36Helena's most loved subject
02:41 - 02:42We could have...
02:43 - 02:47For all its size and glory and expensive ticket prices
02:48 - 02:53Taken a chance on visiting KuMu
02:54 - 02:56There's a great exhibition on
02:56 - 02:59Soviet socialist realism
03:00 - 03:02The gnarliest and most realistic art style
03:04 - 03:07It's okay, you can still go there
03:14 - 03:16I guess I have to take it as it is
03:19 - 03:23Just have one giant arrow-sticking session
03:25 - 03:26At least try to
03:31 - 03:33The trick is to try
03:40 - 03:46We will finish the campaign to Moscow and the inevitable retreat
03:46 - 03:49And try to stick as many arrows as possible
03:53 - 03:56...before Jaanipäev.
