Uncle Gunter arrives, and he and Martin agree that the three must leave Germany. They make a plan for Gunter and Friedrich to go to work as normal, before leaving for Switzerland the following day. Up late at night, Friedrich worries about what life in Berne will be like.
At work the next day, Anselm once again invites Friedrich to a Nazi Youth event. Friedrich uses his ready-made excuse: he will be leaving to visit Elisabeth in Berlin. Anselm grins and leaves him alone. While the family dines later that evening, Brown Shirts knock on the door: they know that Elisabeth is not in Berlin and have deduced that the family plans to flee. They take Martin in for questioning, and Friedrich goes to stay with Uncle Gunter.
Friedrich arrives at his uncle’s house and blames himself for his father’s arrest. He plays his harmonica to comfort himself.
