Flashback is a 1969 Italian drama film directed by Raffaele Andreassi.

Heinz Prulier (Fred Robsahm) is a German soldier stationed as a sniper overlooking his own army from a tree. When he falls asleep, his troops are gone and he is left alone to defend the incoming enemy invasion. Flashbacks recall his wartime experiences and his transition from a human being into a sadistic murderer and rapist. He encounters a prostitute and a giggling girl in this violent feature that reveals the deterioration of human values in the face of the grim realities of war.

I did not give you nonsense
I never promised you
You seem to think there's more to this
Than a wham bam girl can do
Leavin' you is so intense
But I'll be back again
When I come to see you
Don't be askin' when
Whoa, stop your cryin'
(Stop your cryin')
Wipe those tears away
I said hey
I hate long good-byes
I hate long good-byes
(Stop your cryin')
I hate long good-byes
(Stop your cryin')
I hate long good-byes
I told you to get on it
I felt those butterflies
I knew that you were flippin' out
When I looked into your eyes
Oh, stop your cryin'
(Stop your cryin')
Wipe those tears away
I said hey
I hate long good-byes
I hate long good-byes
(Stop your cryin')
I hate long good-byes
(Stop your cryin')
I hate long good-byes
Don't you be neurotic
The moment was superb
And if you thought I loved you
I never said those words
Oh, stop your cryin'
(Stop your cryin')
Wipe those tears away
I said hey
I hate long good-byes
I hate long good-byes
(Stop your cryin')
I hate long good-byes
(Stop your cryin')
I hate long good-byes
(Stop your cryin')
I hate long good-byes
(Stop your cryin')
I hate long good-byes
