Nietzche once said,

"The secret of reaping the greatest fruitfulness

and the greatest enjoyment from life

is to live dangerously."

He would've loved it here on the Eastern Front.

Proceed, Proceed.

Comrade Stalin orders you!

Up there.

Get to the trench, now!

Put them out of there, go!

Prepare yourselves.

Here they come.

Headquarters, we need to break out.

We need reinforcements!

We've been waiting for over an hour!

Where are they?

Watch out for the plane.

Cover.

Here they come.

Fire!

Fire!

Headquarters, need to break out.

Achtung, they're coming from the tree,

from the tree line.

Where are they?

You know, this reminds me of that night in Hamburg.

You know, the two sisters?

The blondes?

I thought they were brunettes.

We were a little drunk.

Always.

We wanted to build a campfire and have Schnapps

for the two girls we met.

It was dark.

Lit the campfire in the mayor's backyard.

Just your luck.

The luck was, he was their father.

Those were good times.

Oh, '38 was a great year.

We did so much.

We did indeed.

Do you ever think we'll make it home?

Yes, we will absolutely make it home.

20 years from now, I will sit in my house

in Flensburg with my beautiful grandchildren

and tell them stories.

What are you gonna tell them about this?

Not a damn thing.

I will tell them about camaraderie, soldiering,

the bands, the music, and maybe the girls.

I'm not telling them a damn thing about the Russians.

So you're going to lie to them?

Yes.

I don't think they'll appreciate

the truth of this, do you, Daug?

No.

I know I wouldn't want to.

Captain.

What the hell is that?

Goliath.

Morning, Sergeant.

Captain.

They brought them in this morning.

Worthless.

Good luck.

Thank you.

What are you doing?

I thought it was time for a cigarette.

You know how bad those are for you?

You're probably right.

They haven't done him any good.

They keep sending us people like Steinbeck,

what are we gonna do?

Get ready for the next quarter.

Good morning, doctor.

Good morning.

How are you holding up?

Not very good.

How many did you lose this morning?

Do you really want to know?

No, not really.

Look how young they are.

They're getting younger every day.

I understand.

16.

High Command say there's a relief column on the way.

I've heard this before.

They should break in this morning, tonight, tomorrow.

I don't think we're gonna hold out that long.

I will get you out of here, I promise.

I hope so.

Excuse me.

Now, what did you promise mother not to do?

Not to get shot.

What did you do?

I got shot.

You know, you always say girls love scars.

So I did it.

I'm never gonna hear the end of this.

You know it.

So are we still winning the war?

Oh, most gloriously.

Haven't you noticed?

So the noise I hear, it's not ours?

Nope, but they have promised to break us out any moment.

You know what?

If the Russians comes closer,

I'm gonna pack up the nurse and crawl out of here,

trust me Klaus.

You find a nurse around here, I'll crawl with you.

I guess you don't come to the rear much, do you?

We have one right there.

What?

Son, can you hear me?

What the hell is she doing here?

What is a woman doing here?

Well, well, she was a radio operator

and she had some medical training,

so she decided to stay when the trains left.

That was a week ago.

You know what the Russians will do to her?

Yeah, we know.

I know, and she does.

Shit.

Captain, you look tired.

Are you well?

Well the captain is always tired,

but you know, he's very surprised to see you here.

Someone had to take care of the wounded.

There's a small sacrifice for my country so...

Please don't give me the Fatherland speech,

not here in Russia.

How long have you been here?

I volunteered seven weeks ago.

Do you have any idea what will happen to you

if the Russians break through our lines?

I am aware.

Klaus, she's here.

Just get her out.

What's your name?

My name is Gudrun Herr Captain.

Where are you from, Gudrun?

I am from Berlin.

Look, I appreciate your concern.

I insist you let me stay to take care of the wounded.

Gudrun, I don't know if you're aware,

but we are surrounded.

I could not send you anywhere, even if I wanted to.

We have 30 kilometers to our closest lines.

You should never have been here in the first...

Captain, my brother was surrounded

in Stalingrad for four months.

A Russian shell took both his legs,

but he made it out on the last plane.

Ever since he recovered, he's been trying to make it back.

Gudrun, you were assigned as a radio operator, yes?

Yes, I was assigned to General Schroder's headquarters.

And I also have medical...

So you have knowledge of all our radio codes,

transmission, deciphering of messages?

Yes.

Klaus, who's coming to get us out?

They put together a battle group.

It says Michael Wittmann is to lead it.

Then we'll be just fine.

Take this.

I'm sorry, Captain, but I could never shoot anyone.

It's not for anyone.

The last bullet is for yourself.

The Russians break through our lines, you'll die anyway.

This way it'll be faster and more merciful.

This is not good.

Listen, you can still shoot?

Yeah.

If the Russians break through,

don't let them take her alive.

You know what they'll do.

Yeah, I know.

Shit.

I'll get us out of here.

Can you hear me?

In the name of the German people,

I award you the Wound Badge in silver.

Congratulations, my son.

You're a brave man.

Doctor.

What the hell is the nurse doing here?

There's a nurse?

There's a nurse over with Anton.

Why wasn't she pulled out?

I need all the fucking help I can get.

You should have put her on the trains.

- She volunteered. - Do you have any idea

what they'll do to her? - You know what the Russians

will do to her.

She's doing it for

the Fatherland. - They rape thousands

over there.

Oh, please with the Fatherland.

Yeah, but tell the Fuhrer that, huh?

Damn it.

Don't you understand?

I need the fucking help here, all right?

I understand, but I'm not letting this happen on my watch.

Like I don't have enough to worry about.

We've lost too many good men and women.

I under...

Yeah, here's another one right here.

Damn it, we're gonna send you some guards.

I'll find you two men

to set up here. - I got no one else left.

We'll have to find some.

Come on.

Good luck.

God, I hate this place.

Good morning, Steinbeck.

Captain.

We have a little problem.

Another one?

Another one.

One of the nurses got left behind by the trains.

She's at the field hospital.

I see.

Go watch over them, please.

Yes, sir.

Thank you.

See that it is done.

The Motherland's counting on you.

Good luck.

Good luck.

Are you ready to attack?

The Germans are surrounded.

Kill them all.

Kill the fascist invaders, go.

Lieutenant, how are you holding up?

I'm okay.

Yeah.

I'm scared.

Oh, it would be all right.

Klaus is gonna get us outta here.

Right?

Right.

Come with me

Come with me.

Klaus.

Klaus, Klaus.

Russians in the woods.

Get back to the trench.

Turn the anti-tank cannon around.

They're coming from the other side.

Position two reporting.

Position two report.

We are coming, copy.

Go to the right.

The Russians are fighting us from the woods.

Fire.

Hello, yeah.

Wittmann here, I have a stand by the field hospital,

we have plenty of fuel here, Wittmann's out.

We have to get our comrades out.

Unretreat.

Come on, move, move.

Yes sir.

Our friends are getting overrun by the Russians.

Everybody moves up?

No.

Up, up

How many did we lose?

At least five.

Is that Ronald?

That's Herman.

What's left of him?

How we holding up on ammunition and water?

Ammunition, food, bullets, water, all gone,

maybe enough for tonight.

I'm sure they'll get us out any moment now.

You know what I've been thinking?

What?

Leave back to Hamburg.

Start my own bar.

Oh.

You know, be my own beer bar.

Bar maids.

Of course.

I like the way you think.

When were you planning on this momentous change of life?

Is noon tomorrow okay?

That's a very short notice.

I'm not sure the Führer will like it.

I was hoping my commanding officer can tell him for me.

You know, it's funny you should mention it.

I'm seeing him for tea and coffee in a few days.

I'll tell him in person,

these things are best heard from a friend.

It's good to have friends in high places.

I'm glad I met you.

That's why I'm here.

So you aren't planning on a military discount

in this bar of yours, yes?

For you?

You never pay anyway, I carried you for four years now.

You break my heart, there's no respect

for a commanding officer.

But I'm here for you.

So are the Russians.

At borders please break out, we need reinforcements

we ain't ready for war right now, where are they?

They're coming from the trees, from the tree line.

Steinberg.

We're dying here, can't wait any longer.

How far away are you?

Can't wait any longer.

They're coming from all directions now.

What are they saying?

Fire.

The drummers are coming down the road.

We been waiting for over an hour, where are they?

Are they coming?

Hold.

We have to go to the right.

Keep an eye on your flank.

We've got too many wounded soldiers left.

Give me that telephone.

We need reinforcement now.

He said they met opposition.

Over, get ready.

Get ready.

They're coming from all directions now.

Fire up high.

Keep an eye on the flanks, they're coming from the tanks.

I have been waiting for two days.

I have concluded we're gonna evacuee.

I have dead Russians in my trench.

No, no, waiting is over.

Here they come.

Guys, get over to the guys over there.

Find your favorite barricade, over to the creek.

Take cover, plane.

Come on, let's go.

We stop them over there.

T-34 to the right.

German butchers.

Load.

Klaus, Klaus, hang in there old friend they are coming.

You see them?

I see them, they're here.

Let's go, let's go over there, help them.

They're coming.

Hey.

Hey Airborne.

Hey pretty boy Floyd.

How's your day treating you?

Trying to get these planes ready for when we drop.

Yeah, Lang was pretty nice though, ain't it?

Well rather be back home in Mississippi,

but this'll have to do.

Yeah, well it'll be a lot nicer when we get to France,

all those beautiful women.

Oh yeah, if I get there first, I'll try to save you some.

Like we're gonna save your ass

when we show up off the beach.

Yeah, like when I'm gonna come up behind you

and get that German that's gonna plug you.

Hey, listen to all seriousness, y'all keep your head down

and be safe, we'll see you on the beach.

See you on the beach.

See you on the beach.

See you on the beach, private, Keep your head down.

Keep your ass down too,

they'll shoot you there before they shoot you in the head.

What wonder witness is, the war is lost anyway.

Ulli, are you serious feel.

Seriously.

Ulli, don't be so pessimistic.

Why are you hiding things from the Führer.

No we are not.

It is a heart attack with you.

I know what you're hiding from the Führer.

Good to see you again Captain.

Let's be honest.

Yeah.

We're all hiding something.

How many pregnancies have you left to France.

Will, tell him.

Not that many, come on.

On your salary, you can afford them.

Yeah, that's the thing.

I just use another name. You know, it usually works.

Don't use my name, I can't afford it either.

Oh, you it's over with that earlier?

Yeah.

You've holes in you.

You like to see.

Captain.

So, now it's down to important army business.

Yes.

I know you were here before me.

So you must know the best bar in town.

Yeah.

Don't tell him.

Does he deserve it?

I don't know.

Remember the last time,

we don't want that to happen again.

Don't make me demote you again.

Let's negotiate.

The first five rounds are in you

and we'll show you where it is, okay?

After a year of the Russian front,

I haven't seen many bars.

It's a deal, on me.

Done deal.

All right.

I'm sure it is.

Excuse me, the field hospital.

It's that way.

This way?

Yes.

Thank you.

Yep, we're gonna bring him down this way.

Yeah, okay.

And I'm sure you've noticed the readiness

of our forces here in Normandy.

They do seem rather unprepared.

My God, half the men here

are either Russian, Ukrainian, or Polish.

They'll scatter like flies in the wind

at the very first sign of approaching danger.

I want you to inspect our defense here

and give me a report on how they can be improved.

I will be honored to help in any way that I can.

Gentlemen.

Hi Hitler.

Field Marshall.

I have seen information for you.

You always have something for me,

but it never seems to be anything I can use.

Captain, General Frank's here will show you

the layout of the countryside.

What's up gentlemen.

Morning.

Morning.

So what do you think Klaus?

I think it looks like hell.

We don't have enough of anything.

How are we gonna hold the allies back?

We have nothing.

We have mindless optimism.

Found a way to shoot that out of a gun.

Any day now, our scientists are working on it.

Hey, wake up.

Mines my friend.

It better be important, I just finished my watch.

But it's important.

What is the problem?

It's Ulli.

Ulli, what the hell did he do now?

He's gone again.

Gone?

Yeah.

For how long?

No idea.

And what do we do about it?

You go to town, ask some just good questions.

And I'll go tell Klaus.

It better not be the resistance again.

Yeah.

Or the MPs got him.

I'll go to town.

Morning.

Morning.

Year and a half on the Eastern Front.

I've never seen an egg.

If I wanted the eggs I'd have to lay it myself.

Or steal it from some pissed off Russian farmer.

Life in France, it's good.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We appreciate it.

It's an enjoyable time here.

If I could, I would send this breakfast

to everybody in Russia.

They deserve it.

Always a good way Klaus.

Well, when I had my share.

Yeah.

What's going on?

We have a problem.

Are the Americans here?

Nope.

Are the Russians here?

Nope.

Involved.

Not yet.

That bad?

It might be.

All right, what's going on?

It's Ulli.

What the hell did he do now?

Did he get drunk again and piss on the General's car?

That was a good one.

That would be nice.

No, he's been missing two days now.

Anybody reported?

Not yet.

It's a matter of tough time though.

Shit.

He just can't help it, can he?

No.

I'd just go look for him.

Are there maneuvers?

No, the resistance has been very active

the last few weeks.

Just the past few weeks?

Let's get out of here.

Is Captain Miller here?

Yes.

Just over there.

Captain Miller, I have a order for Gerald Frank.

I'm sorry.

So you got the orders to do it.

Yeah.

The general thought it was best if I did it.

Yeah.

Well that's good.

It's better with a friend.

I have to ask, why?

I just had enough of this whole thing, you know?

And I met this girl.

A girl.

Classic story.

Yeah.

I mean, why else do men do the stupid things men do?

I mean, sometimes I think the war started

because of a girl involved.

It wouldn't be the first time.

No.

Hellen of Troy.

For a one.

So you think this whole thing started

just because Hitler, Churchill, Stalin.

They all just show after their girlfriends.

Well, it did make sense, doesn't it?

I mean, stupid men do stupid things.

And that's it.

This is getting pretty stupid.

Yeah, I know some of those guys,

I mean, they could just have sent them flowers

and let that be it.

Make it easy.

Flowers would've been good.

Yeah.

I mean, that's how it started, wasn't it?

I mean, do you remember Sudetenland?

Yeah.

Austria too.

Everybody threw flowers at us then.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well that suddenly changed.

Yeah.

Sit down, sit down.

Captain.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning Captain.

Good morning.

We got some coffee.

Yep.

Yuri, coffee for the captain.

Where was Yuri from?

Poland, I think.

I don't know.

I'm not sure.

Big one world of German.

Well, it could be from Ukraine.

Thank you, thank you.

Eastern Poland.

And how do you all can communicate?

You make it work.

And how do you make it work during battle?

Well, we try not to let him too close with the weapons.

He's a Ruski after all.

Ruski.

Yeah, you're Ruski.

Why you all call me Ruski huh?

You're Ruski.

I hate Ruski, they're pigs.

I'm a Prussian.

Yes, you are.

Goddamn it.

What's so funny?

I have something to tell you.

Ulli.

What is that?

Oh, they found him?

Yes, they found him.

When Captain?

Tomorrow morning.

Yeah, right.

You're a good man.

For a good solution.

Drink, drink.

Spending all the time together.

It's to good men in the ground.

Yeah.

Another one.

Another one.

Another one.

Go see him in the prison.

He's over there now.

Bring some wine.

So have you seen any vulgares around?

Still thinking about women.

You still think they'd nag you like women do.

Yeah, especially you.

Want a cigarette?

No thanks, those things will kill you.

You know, you're starting to sound like my mother.

Well, so should be.

Yep.

I'm scared as shit.

But this is the way it has to be.

It's okay.

Okay.

Ready?

Aim.

Fire.

This whole thing is not going very well.

We have to convince the higher command

to use the all resources to repel

an invasion on the beaches.

Nobody wants to admit they might be wrong

and lose their face in front of the fear.

It's the same shit it always was.

They are wars run by desk generals

who never shed any blood and any dirt ever.

That's right.

Of course it is.

That's why you and I,

we have to make the most compelling report

that the Field Marshall can present to Hitler himself.

I understand.

I'm gonna do my very best.

Get ready.

Gotta put your gas as soon as possible.

Stand up

Straight line let's go.

Sound of equipment check.

Everything okay.

Everything okay.

Everything okay.

Everything okay.

Go, go, go, go.

Go, go, go, go.

Go, go.

Remember our motto gentlemen.

No mission too typical for a sacrifice to the grave.

Duty first.

We're the first infantry division.

We've done Africa, we've done Sicily,

and now we're doing France.

They know we're coming, they know we're the best.

How you guys feeling?

Good Lieutenant.

I'm nauseous sir.

I don't blame you, I'm nauseous too.

Are you all right?

Are you all right?

All the new guys, stick with your mate.

All the obstacles are gonna be pre-sighted on the beach.

Do not bunch up near an obstacle.

Spread out and get up to the hill

as fast as you possibly can.

Sound it up.

Alarm, quick, quick,

Hello

This is it.

Alarm, alarm.

I need to know what's going on.

The men are confused out there.

First you call

Horizon is full of ships.

Come out.

Come out, Americans coming.

Oh my God.

Tell the cannons to fire at will.

Yes, sir.

Well in range.

Yes, sir.

Is there any hope?

The Luftwaffe will show today?

I will spend a lot of

We'll do our best.

Where the hell did they get all those ships from.

That was position one.

Position one is lost, report it.

One minute to the beach.

One minute to the beach.

Get ready.

Stand by.

Go, get the hell outta my boat.

Go, go, go, go.

Get off the boat.

Get off the boat.

Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ, I just lost every guy on my boat.

Go go go.

Go, go, go, go.

We're getting killed out.

Move up towards the banks.

Soldier, move your men up.

Let's go.

Oh God.

Make room, we're here.

Come on second squad, move in now.

Move in now.

Sir, I'm the last one.

Where the rest of the guys?

Hold your head.

Get off the boat.

Get off the boat.

Right here, and here, boom.

Then find him.

This is not an exercise.

I suggest that we move two infantry regiments

and one artillery regiment into the area

to provide proper support should the invasion

occur in that particular sector.

Okay, we gotta get off this beach.

Fuck you.

That time the ally would be in Paris.

Jesus, block them on purpose.

Jesus, I lost every guy on my boat.

You got a smoke?

Oh yeah, sir.

You got a light?

Fuck.

We gotta get off the fucking beach.

I'm fucking wet.

I'm damn wetter than you fucking are.

Fuck you.

Jesus Christ.

The ally of France that made attack in Normandy.

I have no time to wait, do you not understand?

I see a thousand ships on the ocean.

No, I'm dead serious.

Why do you not come here and see for yourself?

I need a medic.

Medic

Move

Go, go, go, go.

Lower your fucking head.

What is everyone else?

I'm the last one.

Anton, Anton.

You, I want that 42 taken out.

MG 42 on the right.

We gotta get off this beach.

Yeah.

We gotta get off the beach.

Go.

Patrol, let's move, let's move.

Everyone fire.

Get up here now.

Move.

Let's go.

Move.

Coming fire.

I can't wait till morning

Oh shit.

I'll get the blood pumping, all right.

Where are your boys from?

Oh, Tennessee.

Tennessee?

Wisconsin.

Wisconsin.

What about you?

No way cheese head.

What do we now?

We get off this beach.

Why?

Because if the blood foot happens, where do we move?

We're gonna die.

The only people that you're gonna see

if you don't get off this beach,

is great registration and God.

Now, get up over that hill.

Move out, go, go, go, go.

All clear, let's go.

Five, six quarters get out of here.

This is not good.

They're too strong.

We have a close defense.

Yes, sir.

Sir, we have contact with the beaches.

This is not, this is...

General.

What's the situation soldier?

It's hopeless.

I understand.

This will be the final report from Normandy.

Yes, sir.

God bless Germany.

All right.

I'll fight too.

Let's go fight.

Let's go fight, come on.

Good luck my friend.

Good luck

Let's go, let's go.

Let's get to the artillery.

Hey move, move.

Where the hell have y'all been?

Where have we been?

Yes, where have you been?

I've been here all night.

I lost every guy on the boat.

Well welcome...

Everybody on the...

Hey, hey, hey.

Krause, where do you need us?

This way?

You feeling froggy sir or you want me on point?

After you Tom.

Appreciate it, sir.

Airborne.

Hey.

Hey, Colorado.

Tennessee.

How're you doing bud, good to see you.

You made it off the beach.

Yeah, see you did too man.

What's your name?

It's Garonne, everybody calls me Gar.

Gar, nice to meet you, Lee.

Lee, you wanna help me with these prisoners?

Sergeant?

Yes, Major.

Understand none of your officers made it off the beach.

Yes, sir.

To my understanding, that is correct.

I'm gonna make you a second Lieutenant.

Get your unit together, get down that course way.

Link up with the airborne,

they're pretty strapped in down there.

Yes, sir Major, I'll take care of it sir.

Carry on.

Yes sir.

So, is that a good thing?

Come on, get your gear.

Let's go help out the airborne.

Roger, Lieutenant.

Second up, second up.

We made it off the beach,

We're getting out.

Burn the papers and kill all the prisoners.

There's more Germans coming.

When I say go, we go.

Three, two, one, go.

Alarm.

Come on, let's move.

Let's go.

First one, come on.

Put your weapons down, come on get up.

Get up right now.

They're just a bunch of kids Serg.

Get up right now.

Get up.

Don't shoot.

Please don't shoot.

I haven't taken a decent shit since the D-Day.

Oh, God.

You can't shoot us.

You can't shoot us.

It's against the convention.

Hey.

No, what the hell are you doing?

This is not, how we do things in the German army.

How do we behave?

Who the hell do you think you are?

We can not behave like this.

If we behave like animals,

history would have justified contempt for us.

This is not how German officers behave.

What's going on here?

This man has interrupted us.

They're shooting on prisoners general.

This is not how we do things.

Do you know how many German soldiers

will lose their lives over this?

The German army does not shoot prisoners.

You better leave this out to us.

Captain, you have a situation.

Take care of it.

When you remember Germans, we are not all like this.

Thank you.

I remember you, thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Well, we made it Lieutenant.

Yes we did.

Guess that's all we can do.

Make it through today, make it through tomorrow.

Make it through the day after that.

And just keep making it till the end of this damn war.

Well, I've made it perfectly clear

I have no intention of dying in this place, you know?

20 years from now, when this is all over,

back in Tennessee, I'll be sitting around a campfire,

just like this telling stories to my grandchildren.

What are you gonna tell 'em about today?

Not a goddamn thing.

Sergeant, sergeant, the Americans are coming.

All right, men.

Take positions.

Hey, the Americans in here.

Yeah, I'll be damned if I'm gonna

get killed here at this bridge.

We made it this far.

You got a smoke?

Yeah.

So what's going on?

Just bear that at least.

Didn't mean for you Tom.

All right, So what's the deal?

Well, I got...

Will you get that fucking thing out?

I'm trying, Sir.

Jesus Christ.

Sir, I need some help.

I got guys pinned down at this bridge,

but we've been trying to all morning and all night.

I need as much help as you can give me.

Where's your fucking bridge?

It's right here.

All right.

You come up this road about two clicks

and then take a left, you'll run right into the bridge.

We got German forces right here that are plummeting us

with machine gun and small arms fire.

I need every guy that can breathe and pull a trigger.

We're gonna have to go around the flank.

It's gonna take time.

Doesn't do us any good taking that bridge

without taking the town.

You come past this village about...

Are you fucking happy now?

Yes Private, damn, do you want a cookie?

Jesus.

We gotta help him take it.

So come on, let's move out.

Keep going.

You, hold this bridge, hold this at all costs.

Do you understand?

I'm going for reinforcements.

We got 'em pushed off the bridge.

We gotta make it over.

Supported by tanks and half tracks.

All right guys, move on.

Let's go, let's go.

Push up on the right.

Lively.

Out, out

A single there.

But we have some more tanks coming.

Good.

What do you think we should do?

Well, I don't want to go back to the Eastern Front.

So I suggest we try to get back to Germany.

Yes.

Put him in the house.

Klaus I tell you, this has been a very tough day.

Tomorrow will be longer.

Over there.

General, there's water inside.

It's an aid station.

Good to see you again, sir.

Well done.

Let's have a look at that.

Would you have a look at the general's arm here please

Quickly though.

I don't want too much time away from the men.

I understand.

Right this way.

Come sit down.

What's the situation?

We've been spotted from the air.

Last I heard, the beaches were no longer ours.

What did you hear?

I heard the same.

That's not good.

It is not indeed.

We'll have shelter for the moment.

Spend the best of it and regroup.

Right.

Stay with us.

I've got the morphine.

Thank you, Mike.

Airplane, airplane.

Get everything under the trees.

Under the trees, everything, now.

Take cover.

Take cover, under the trees now.

Captain, Captain.

American tanks on the road.

That's your department.

Do you wanna come along for the ride Klaus?

No, I take my chance on the ground.

Good luck.

See you after.

Yeah.

What will happen to us?

These are the Americans, not the Russians.

Captain.

What's going on out there?

We're holding the bridge here,

but we don't have enough men.

I need help.

We have two tank destroyers that are in the woods,

waiting for defense.

Go bring them in.

They're over here.

Bring one in for the defense of the village.

Send the other one to the bridge.

We can, we can do that.

If we can hold long enough to get the civilians

and the wounded out of the village, there's a chance.

My men can do it.

Let's make it happen.

Off kids, Lewis.

Get him up that road.

I sure ain't giving up that place easily.

City brass hanging around up in there?

Yeah, there was some, but they've already lost one tank.

We'll get in there.

Man, they're surrounded.

What the hell do they keep fighting for?

Probably 'cause they're arrogant bastards.

Look, let's just call the air core.

Have 'em come in, flat the fucking place

and be done with it.

Now look, there's some of the guys

already seen nurses running around in there.

I'm not gonna be the guy that kills a bunch of nurses.

Even if they are krauts.

I'll tell you what?

We take a squad.

Flanking maneuver.

We'll go around through the back,

come up through the middle,

cut the bastards in half, or make 'em surrender.

Yeah, I'll go with you.

Outstanding.

Let's do it.

They'll take any unnecessary chances.

Right?

Like it should in the war.

Ballsy.

Stupid, but ballsy.

Get that.

I need a scout up here

You go.

Keep it on that post.

When you see them, let me know.

We'll come back and get you.

What?

All right, let's do it.

Let's clear this area right now.

Shoot down that road.

We're gonna get online with the rest of the infantry.

Pull back.

There they're at 20 meters.

Get on the back.

Out out.

Hey, in here.

You come with me.

Don't let 'em in the village.

Go, go.

Go.

Go, go, now go.

Klaus

Take the general to safety.

Hurry up.

Take him out of here.

Let's go.

Colonel.

Colonel, I would ask that you accept my surrender.

I will.

Hey Lieutenant.

Hello Major.

Glad to see you're still with us.

Yes, sir.

Glad to be here.

If you hop in back here,

we're gonna run down the road and see

if Jerry's got a line set up.

Or if they're still running like rabbits.

Outstanding, will do.

It'll be all right son, medics are on the way.

I'll be fine.

Do you know where the hell you're going?

Don't fall off there airborne.

I made it first before you...

You know you could always get off and walk.

Is that loaded?

Hit that tank over there.

But wait for my signal.

Wait for my signal.

Hey, we got one there.

Hey.

Get up, get up.

Come on.

Oh God.

I know that voice.

I'm glad you're not dead.

What are you doing here?

Well, since you decided to get yourself

blown up in Russia with me,

we got sent to the same hospital in France.

Not that you remember.

It's hard to remember a damn thing.

Not even your ugly face.

It's good to see you too.

Let's get outta here.

What do you see?

Americans on one side, British on the others.

Along there, Germans.

No Russians?

No.

That will be okay.

You're optimistic.

It'll be just fine.

The Americans will shoot up anything moving on the ground.

Well, except one of their own.

You mean like a jeep?

Yep.

You wanna hand me that sir?

Here, hold this for a minute.

Yeah.

Well, this is smart.

We need a diversion.

So we started here, sir.

The hell was that?

Was that ours?

No, can't be.

Let's go.

You know I heard...

Nick Sheeson?

Oh, shit.

Cigarette?

Smoking's bad for you.

Major, if you don't mind,

I need your jeep.

Wait, I know you.

I'm just another ugly kraut to you, yes?

No.

You were on the motorcycle.

You almost ran over my ass.

That was you?

I'm very sorry.

I didn't mean to.

What are you talking about Klaus?

Take care of yourself Sergeant.

You too, sir.

Major.

Come on Klaus, let's go.

What do you think?

Go east?

Let's go east.

You wanna tell me what the hell that was all about?

Sir, that is a story

I'll definitely share with my grandchildren.

We got a long walk and I'm all ears.

Yeah, that's a story I'd like to hear.
