The wounded German - What is he saying?


There are no subtitles in this short scene.
I know Vera responds at one point with "Ich bin hier" (sp?) - "I am here". But who was the German soldier calling out for?

He thought she was someone called Clara, maybe his wife/girlfriend/sister. He was imagining that she was a person he knew, a loved one, so she said that it is her (Clara) to comfort him and ease the pain.

He knew he was dying, saying "oh God no"

Then (because he was dying) he said he couldn't see

Then when she spoke he believed his wife/family member was there so she lied to him and said she was Clara and that she was there
