Does anyone know what the German says when Mrs. Miniver slaps him? I know what he'd probably say today, but back then it was a bit different.

"You will win the Oscar for this!"
Sorry, couldn't resist. I don't remember what he said.
I think it might have been "choice". I remember that I watched MM with my Gran, and asked her. I knew that the family was Bi-Lingual, but all the youngsters were born in America. The only thing that Gran said was a very crisp, "You don't want to know!" It might have been a bitter memory left over from the First War. Who knows? I did learn one small phrase from her, which I don't even know how to spell....she said it was "the only German I needed to know": The Phrase for "I LOVE YOU".
As I said, she never told me, and I never asked. Sorry for the OT.
"I do hope he won't upset Henry.."
What I heard the German say immediately before Mrs. Miniver slaps him is "Wir werden euch vernichten alle!" Which means "We will destroy all of you!"
