Original subtitles

Good morning, General McPherson. Do you want to speak to... Sir?

General McPherson, the General is very busy. If you'd like to wait one moment,

please.

That's all for now. We'll meet again this afternoon.

You pig.

You dirty, rotten pig.

There were 28 of them. My whole squad. Dead. One by one. All of them.

For God's sake, shut up, Charlie.

I've had enough of this.

Just once more. Just one more insult from you, and I'll have you court

-martialed. Understand?

Better do it then.

And you'd better do it now. Because I came here to kill you, Sam, I swear it.

I came here to kill you.

And I don't know what's keeping me from doing it. I'm your commanding officer.

I ordered you on this mission.

It's not up to you to evaluate the consequences or the results.

You knew those gasoline tanks had 200 Germans and two tanks. God, you knew it.

And you told me there wouldn't be more than a dozen guards.

When they finally trapped us, we were like clay pigeons in a shooting gallery.

It was a massacre.

Which resulted in the destruction of 75 German Panzer tanks.

You can hardly say that was an action wasted.

Now, listen carefully, Charlie.

The date for the invasion of France has been set for five days from now, June

the 6th.

During the 24 -hour period immediately preceding the landings, all our commando

groups will be on special sabotage missions behind the German lines.

And what are you telling me that for?

Pike, bring that folder in here.

I'm telling you because you're going to land one of those groups.

Who am I going to lead? All my men are dead. You're crazy.

Pike. Sir. Where do you think you're going? I thought perhaps... Give me that

file. Yes, sir.

All the details are here.

Plans, timing, coordination.

As for men, you'll have to work that out for yourself. You'll have to choose

your own from among the first, second, and third sabotage companies.

You'll need a technician for the explosive part of it. The Americans have

us a certain Major... Major... Burke, sir.

Burke, yes.

They tell me he's a real expert, knows his job.

Well, that's fine, because he'll be strictly on his own. I'm finished with

commandos. I'm going back to a line outfit.

Oh, Charlie, by the way, they tell me the French coastal area where you land

under the command of a German colonel, Ackermann.

You two have already met once.

I don't recall the outcome, though.

Well, the best of luck, Charlie.

You're a dirty, rotten...

Here comes one of the blasted colonels again.

You see, Sergeant?

Those are the showers.

Modern times tunnel.

A few years ago, these things didn't exist.

You... You godless bastard.

You are a chicken liver. Afraid of him because he's a lousy colonel. Eh?

I repeat, you've been misinformed, Colonel.

And so?

I don't have a single man to give you.

I'm surprised that the general doesn't understand what's going on down there. I

send reports in all the time. What about those men outside there?

Oh, no, not those men.

I suggest we go down to battalion number five and... Why not them?

They seem to be well trained.

They're the worst we have, sir.

They're insubordinates. They've been under arrest ever since they've been

I realize this is an important assignment. It's an emergency.

I'll make that decision.

Let me decide that, huh?

bloody nice house, eh? But not like those bloody flea -bitten apartments

give us, are they?

Here you go, lad.

It's on the house.

and introduce ourselves.

I'm Colonel McPherson.

Bernard Knowles?

Yes. You say yes, sir, when you answer a superior.

Brawling and subordination and violence.

Yes, sir.

Tom Carlyle?

Yes, sir.

Brawling and subordination and violence.

Albert Tank?

Brawling and subordination and... Sam Scheider?

known as the anarchist.

And now we come to the regimental celebrity of Raymond Stone.

Twelve months training, all in solitary confinement. That's a new record, I

believe.

That's not the only record I hold.

Since you're the only one left, you have to be Madigan.

Frank.

Madigan, the water bucket expert.

Yeah, it's been a real pleasure to know you, McPherson.

Just a minute.

haven't finished yet.

As of right now, you're all volunteers for a mission behind enemy lines.

What? That's a joke, right?

No, I'm not joking.

And we leave tomorrow.

You leave.

You can't make me go. I'll go back to solitary first.

You're right, Madigan. We cannot force you to go.

Madigan!

You stole the company payroll, right?

Ravindra? Yes, sir. For Mr. Madigan's sake, please, repeat Article 81 of the

Penal Code.

At the discretion of the commanding officer, the penalty for theft in a zone

war could be commuted by death.

And the entire British coast is considered a war zone.

Are there any further objections?

That's all.

We leave tomorrow morning.

Other instructions will be given en route.

Okay, hurry up. Let's go.

It's clear. Come on. Okay, Carlo. Hurry up. Let's go.

You want to commit bloody suicide on that crazy mission with that crazy...

not coming. I've been running all my life. I'm tired of it.

Besides, you won't get far.

Not with that guy after you. You're a crazy idiot. Come on, guys.

He wouldn't come. Said he's tired of running. I think he's cracking up.

Get out of my way.

You leave with the other stone

in exactly two hours.

It's nothing, sir. I just don't have anything to say.

You know who's over there?

In France, I mean.

The Germans, I suppose.

Yes, of course, naturally.

But who's the leader?

Colonel Ackerman, our friend from Sidi Barani.

Do you think we run into him?

No, I don't think so.

Not unless I go out there looking for him.

Gives me a strange feeling to know that he's out there.

Somewhere.

Like hunting tigers.

I remember when I was a boy in India.

You'd get into the hunting area.

And everyone would be in the grip of a terrible feverish desire. But we knew

that sooner or later in life, every man, if he's a real man, must come face to

face with his own enemy.

And we knew that so very good.

It's called the London Restaurant in Glasgow.

I've never been in Glasgow.

It's really first class, all right. I used to go there every day.

Five pounds of meal there.

But you ate, man. You really ate.

Chicken pies.

Thinking of the colonel.

If it's any of your business, you know something?

Anything can happen in France, even to officers.

Hey, look, honey, not back here. I'll call you when I get back.

Bye.

Captain Burton, sir. I'm sorry about the delay.

I don't know how you behave in the American Army, Captain, but there's no

for delays here.

Stand at attention when you're talking to a superior officer.

You arrived late in the company of a girl.

I'll wager you even told her you're going to France, didn't you?

I didn't think.

Oh, you didn't think.

Well, let me give you an example. Just for laughs, what might happen because

didn't think.

Suppose the girl goes home and casually talking to a couple of friends happens

to mention that the American captain she's been dating is going to France on

mission. Suppose other officers and men about to embark on a mission such as

ours would behave the way that you did.

Do you happen to know how many German informers are estimated to be in London?

No, sir. About 700.

You can draw your own conclusions.

Yes, sir.

I think I'll go board now, sir.

I didn't think we'd lose this goddamn war just because I went to bed with a

girl.

be on target in 20 minutes.

Thank you, Captain.

Yes.

Normandy.

We're going to land here.

And this is where the Allied landing will take place.

About 200 yards in from the beach.

You'll find a series of anti -depurcation devices with mines attached

You'll have to neutralize them. Now that's your job.

You'll have two men to help you clear a path through the mines and into the

beach. How much time do we have? An hour. While you're doing that, we'll

the rest of the men ashore and knock out the two German observation posts.

Please. And that's the whole story, huh? Basically, yes.

What it amounts to is this.

We clear a path for the landing craft, which comes in with the rest of the

commandos. Now, their job will be to reach the town of Ango and blow up a

special railroad gun that the Germans have there.

But once they hit the beach, our job is done and we head for Zambarini. Is that

clear? Yeah.

Yeah.

What do you think?

never worked on these before.

How long have they been in the water? I don't know. Why?

If the detonators rust, that means there's trouble.

I'll have to use a limping charge.

Limping charge?

Aye, that means he's going to have to blow them up. It's a complication.

Well, we're still going to need 45 minutes to complete our part of the

A question, Colonel.

Aye, what?

I was told the six of the men you picked for this mission are all...

Hard case jailbirds.

Is that right?

Yes, that's right. So what?

Nothing. Just seeing strange for a special landing team.

Strange, Captain?

Do you, an American, find it strange?

Didn't your most famous heroes from Davy Crockett to John Brown and Doc Holliday

and a dozen others spend time in jail at one time or another? And you find it

strange? Okay.

I've got the message.

Time.

Ever taste oven -roasted newborn lamb?

No, never.

The way they do them in the London restaurants.

They are like whipped cream.

You can bloody keep your cream.

That make better.

Bang -bang for us?

No, no guns, no shooting. The rest of you use your knives.

That should make you happy, Stone.

And I left mine because she was the daughter of a butcher.

Yeah, well, if you get back, perhaps you can pick up the pieces.

Attention! Attention!

Five minutes to target.

Good luck, Colonel. Thank you, Captain.

Follow the established plan.

Wait for us for an hour at Fort Hyden.

If we haven't come back in that time... Well, you can return to the base.

Let's get our tails out of here.

Okay.

Be ready to head for the beach.

All of you.

Aren't you coming with us?

Rabindra and I will stay here for a little while to wrap up things.

Everyone to the station.

Clear to fire.

Ready. Seven degrees right.

Fire.

Quite safe to do something.

You would only give our position away.

And it won't do them any good.

PT board, R -10.

We have intercepted two groups of British commandos attempting a landing

Roque Bay. Repeat, British commandos. We killed all of them before they reached

the beach.

Over.

Good work, R -10. Return to your base. Over.

Message received.

Over and out.

Put me through to bunker 238.

The third attempted a landing in just a few hours. The headquarters still thinks

they are diversionary maneuvers.

Hello. Hello. Who is it? Who is it? This is Colonel Ackerman.

Did you hear me?

This is Ackerman.

Damn it. What's going on there?

Hello. Damn it.

Hello.

Yes, yes, Colonel Ackerman.

Yes, a group of British commandos attempted a landing, but they were...

But they were wiped out by one of our PT boats.

Oh, good.

Remain where you are and stand by for another call.

Put the 6th and the 8th squads on full alert immediately.

The information from the PT boat was inexact. They have landed.

Yeah, they have landed and occupied one of our coastal bunkers. How do you know

it? I will tell you.

Bunker 238 didn't give us a password when they answered. The man I talked to

must have been an Englishman.

We may still be in time to block them. Let's go.

You know who that was on the phone?

Who?

Ackerman.

What do you intend doing?

Colonel, if we're going to move, we'd better get our butts out of here.

I think the submarine has already gone.

Aye.

It's been an hour and fifty minutes.

You two, get the German machine gun. We're going to need them. You, throw the

rest of the equipment into the sea. Go. I think we can still make it, Colonel.

Let's try at least.

Burke, I said it was already too late. Look.

Who says it's too late?

Come on, Bloke. Hurry it up.

As far as I'm concerned, my job's finished.

Where do you intend on taking us? The only safe place to hide, behind the

lines. Right.

Not the place to get our bloody rumps blasted off.

Well, it sure is hell too late now. Let's not make it too easy for them.

Let's get moving. They're almost here.

what they did to this man.

Why, those murderers.

No, Adler.

They're not butchers.

They're commandos.

And damned good ones.

Alert the entire zone, because they've got to be found, and it won't be easy.

Janine. What is it?

Are you coming?

Still afraid?

The shooting stopped a long time ago.

Besides, it was probably just some of those dirty Mackie. Could it have been

Americans? No. The Americans have no intention of landing.

And don't worry. They'll get a warm reception.

They'll never get off the beach.

Don't worry. As long as you're with me, you're on the right side. The winning

side. This side of our German ally.

Today, Lieutenant Murlock confirmed they'll make me mayor after the victory.

Is he loose?

That's impossible.

I'm sorry for the intrusion.

Perhaps you can finish later.

You.

You are a pessimist, my dear Ackerman.

A stubborn pessimist. You wake me up at this ungodly hour just to tell me about

your stupid suspicions?

General, if you won't let me explain, you can hardly decide whether or not my

suspicions are stupid.

All right, you go ahead and tell me your little fairy tale.

First of all, Everything I'm telling you is in reports I sent you 48 hours ago.

During the last few days, the Anglo -American forces have been making

raids in this area between Cherbourg and La Havre.

Second, during the last three hours, our radio monitoring units have picked up

an incredible number of coded messages the BBC is transmitting to the French

resistance movement.

Third, groups of commandos and paratroopers have been reported.

And always in the same area between Cherbourg and Laval.

Now, let me inform you, my dear Ackerman, that we have exact and precise

information that an Anglo -American attack is not imminent. It will take

between the 12th and the 14th of June, and not in Normandy, but in Calais. And

you think the American troops will land in the next few hours?

Exactly. Let me further inform you, my dear Ackerman.

that our meteorological service reports bad weather in the English Channel for

the next seven days.

Knowing this, Rommel went to Berlin to a meeting with Hitler.

Good morning.

You should have more faith in your Fuhrer, Ackermann.

But if you really want to waste your free time, why don't you go and chase

ghost commandos?

Good morning, gentlemen.

We are losing the war, and these insane idiots can't realize it.

I was in Berlin last week. You should see it.

Reduced to fragmented ruins from aerial bombardments.

And on one crumbling wall, a war's on pieces, but not our fate and the Fuhrer.

They fail in Russia, they fail in Africa, and now they're going to fail

France.

What are we supposed to do?

They don't ask us to think. They only ask us to fight.

They don't have to do anything else.

Look at this.

What are you complaining about, mate?

That Frenchie's got a mighty military wardrobe.

Look what I got stuck with.

We're right here.

We're eight miles from the coast. The German observation post.

Bet you 50 francs. He tells us it's nothing like what he drank at the London

restaurant.

Not bad.

Not bad at all.

But it's no comparison to the way he served at a certain Glasgow restaurant.

I didn't ever tell you about it?

No. Listen carefully, all of you.

Your chances of escape are damn near non -existent. You're out of uniform in any

country.

And if you're caught, you're shot.

And you all not?

They can't, chief.

We've got these.

You'll be smarter to come with me.

You'll be better off, Stone.

What the hell are you talking about, come with me?

Where are you going?

We're going to take over the mission of the group that was wiped out by the

German boat.

What? What did you say?

I'll be dipped. Our job is to clear a path through the minefield for the

commandos. And we did it.

So stop the boat. This is where I get off.

They didn't make it, Burke.

And somebody's got to do it. But not us, goddammit. We've done our job and then

some.

Look, we're safe here for the moment. All we got to do is sweat out that

landing, the big one.

And it's due in a few hours from now.

I'm tired of your whining, Burke.

Fed up with it.

There's the war going on. You're a junior officer, supportive to me and

Exactly what I tell you. That's an invitation to suicide.

I'm not looking to get my tail shot off on a job I didn't volunteer for.

So what do you got in mind?

We got a right to know that.

I told you we couldn't throw out the rat like him. What I've got in mind is to

blow up the railroad gun and I go.

Providing, of course, Colonel Ackerman doesn't manage to stop me.

Who's Ackerman?

Just what will you use to blow it up with?

Matches.

Now, don't let it worry you, Shire. We'll find a way to do it, I promise

And maybe you will at that.

And as for them, if they die, as far as you're concerned, all that's lost is a

bunch of jailbirds.

And me, naturally.

Are you through, Burke?

Yeah.

Wherever you go, I'll go, Colonel.

They'll all join the party of Indra.

Get their dog tags.

I'll shoot the first one that tries to go out that door.

Okay. We'll come along.

But I'm not coming because either you or your boy defrighted me.

Don't get any ideas about that.

But I'm a curious bloke, and I want to see how you make out on this little

caper.

Look at this map here.

How far is this cross from your place?

How far?

Six kilometers.

on the country road.

And how many soldiers are stationed there?

I don't know exactly.

But there are many.

How many?

There are four.

We'll take the girl with us.

She must know the area.

What about him?

No objection, Your Honor.

Burke, at the risk of all our lives, I'm going to teach you a lesson.

I'm tired, my Rabindra.

That's enough, McPherson. It's not our fault.

Better get this through your head, Burke, once and for all.

Even though you are an American.

From now on, I won't permit you to get in my way.

And that's a warning.

Me last.

Captain.

Yeah.

I've been fighting wars since eight years.

I was in the International Brigade in Spain.

So?

I know what you're thinking.

That certain methods... Are just like the Nazis. You see any difference?

A lot.

Quite a lot.

I know the Nazis very well.

One more week here and I go back to Berlin.

I don't ever remember being home.

Keep it quiet.

Go around.

We go in when the music stops.

Go when the music stops.

It's a disinfectant.

You'll feel better in a few minutes.

Was it really a disinfectant?

Morphine. He's had it.

All we can do is wait for him to die.

And hope that he doesn't suffer too much.

Objectives mined between February 15th and June 2nd. June 2nd and February

Yes, but where are they?

Nothing. Not even a small mortar.

There is only this stuff.

No wonder they're no more explosive. They've mined the entire zone.

It's a lucky thing for us the Germans are so methodical and efficient.

They've shown us where they put exactly everyone in.

When this stand was over, we'll eat that restaurant in Glasgow together.

Sure.

We will.

But, well, I went every day.

It was my job.

I was a waiter.

Can I now?

I've been thinking.

It might be. Well, leave me here.

I understand.

Leave me here.

Yes.

Feel better.

Much better.

He's in very bad shape, Colonel. The doctor says he can't last much longer.

Have you interrogated him? Not yet.

They are waiting for you.

I'm Colonel Ackerman.

Who shot you?

Who was it?

Eight.

There were eight men?

McPherson? Yes.

Dibble.

Where?

They got practically nothing. Just a few detonators and fuses.

Their actions are apparently unrelated.

Have no precise direction.

Still, I know McPherson, their commander.

He's damned.

Stubborn, but not crazy.

Unless... Adler.

What is it, Colonel? That man has no uniform, no dog tags.

What do you mean?

It's unusual, to say the least, of course.

It would fit perfectly.

I suppose something's happened that has left them with no equipment or

explosives for a sabotage mission.

Like Fersen is the type who never gives up.

He has thrown me a challenge, and I've got to accept it.

Quick, alert the entire zone. Get all the squads out. I think I know where

have gone.

Where? Well, if you needed explosives and you didn't find any here, where

you look for them, Adler? Come on.

Along this line.

And they're planted ten yards apart.

Okay, you hold it on the sides.

If you touch that, we're both dead.

What'll happen if you make a mistake?

Do you really want to know?

No. Don't let it go.

Well, I can always say I died in the arms of an explosive brunette.

Yeah.

We got 40 pounds.

Enough? Yeah.

Now all we have to do is to get down and go.

The trip is over for me, Colonel.

End of the line.

That goes for me, too.

All of my curiosity is gone.

If you have got another on the band who want to nose around among the Germans,

I'll let them blow up that stuff while you're sitting on it. Go ahead.

What a stone says, so long, mate.

And thanks for the company.

And how far do you think you'll get alone?

In an enemy -occupied territory, Stone?

You'll have a better chance if you come with us.

What have I got to do with your war?

How much will I pocket by the victory of democracy over fascism?

The democracy I know.

I learned in a solitary confinement cell in a prison run by ruddy officials who

treated me like a bleeding galley slave.

Give me one good reason for me being here.

Private Stone and Madigan, you would communicate that they have just

separate peace with the Germans, as of now.

No, no.

How are you voting in this debate?

It's different with me, Stone.

I'm Jewish.

And you know how the Nazis loved Jews.

I don't even have to ask you.

You're an officer.

just in time. The damn fools!

Is there any reason why we should get killed with them?

to come back to the slaughterhouse.

He wanted to pray here. God damn it!

That's your rosary.

Are you going to pray now?

I think God will forgive me if I pray without it.

You'd better get out of here and fast.

Where to go?

I have nothing left.

Besides, in town they consider me a spy and a collaborator because I live with

Pierre. Then why did you live with Pierre?

It's easy for you to ask that.

Have you ever been so hungry you faint from the pain of the cramps in your

stomach?

I have.

You'd better get out of here. No, listen to me.

The first time, it was not the way it is in books.

It was not romantic.

No soft, lovely moonlight or beautiful words.

He was a pig, but I knew afterwards he'd give me a dozen tins of food.

And then?

Eating becomes a habit.

There's a German column coming. Quick, let's get out of here. Burke, you take

Carlisle and head east toward the river.

We'll meet at the crossroads at St. Nazaire.

The Germans won't be following you. Raminder Stone and I will draw them from

your track. What about the girl?

You go and meet the Germans. You'll manage them all right.

Just tell them that we captured you and you were forced to come with us.

Oh, what do you need?

I can tell the Germans anything you like, except for two things.

Don't tell them that you heard talk of an Allied landing at Calais on June

and don't tell them we're headed for the submarine base. You understand?

Remember, Lassie.

Down there!

They sent the big gens out to look for you. I'm a prison?

Get your hands up.

Don't be frightened.

All Germans are not SS. I have no intention of hurting you.

I just want to ask you some questions.

What were you doing with the British?

Because they are British, aren't they?

They caught me in the house of a friend. And they kept me with them because I

know the area. How many were there?

How many?

About 20.

No. There were eight of them originally.

There should be about five left now.

Their commander is the Colonel MacPherson.

As you see, I already have some information.

I know they use German weapons and that they have dug up a mine to get

explosives.

Look.

You will be better off if you tell me what I want to know. Because if you

the SS will come.

And then things will be very much worse for you.

What is their objective?

I don't know.

I must question the prisoner.

This is my authorization.

I have just begun interrogating her. Don't worry about it. Leave that to us.

I have just begun interrogating her.

Don't worry about it.

Leave that to us.

Sturmführer, the girl was already telling me all she knows.

With our method, she'll talk faster and in more detail.

Right?

This way.

Stop.

Hey, Carlisle.

How is your leg?

I'm Mark, the head of this group of Maquis.

We are better ready, your Colonel.

Yes.

It is he who sent us.

It's very good that we find you in time.

The road up Saint -Nazaire is already being watched by the Germans.

Well,

the French woman, she remembered hearing the Englishman talk about a landing

at Calais for June 10th. Interesting, eh?

And that's not all.

She also generously told us that the commandos are heading for our submarine

base. No.

Neither the landing at Calais nor the submarine sabotage are sure.

For you, everything the SS does is wrong and badly done.

I didn't say that. Only that you let her fool you.

No.

With our methods, we always obtain the truth.

What truth?

That which helps us defeat the enemies of the Reich and the Fuhrer.

All the rest is nonsense. The lies of saboteurs and...

Defeatists. I love Germany also certainly more than you do.

What do you think we are fighting for here at the front?

Victory? The domination of a superior Reich? The thousand -year -old Reich?

Bah! Those are only old, worn -out slogans.

What we're fighting for now is only one thing.

An honorable peace for the Germans.

We will meet again, Colonel.

It is my duty as a good German to report our conversation.

to my superiors.

Meanwhile, we will take the girl to Kasapo headquarters tomorrow morning.

will be tried as a partisan spy.

Come over here. Yes, sir.

What direction have the British commanders followed since they landed?

Well, they landed here in this bay.

Then we picked up their trail here in this house.

Then here in the minefield.

They were headed north.

Always north. It's strange when the submarine base is in the south.

Continuing in this direction, what would they find? Here, the ammunition depot

at Levalier.

And farther up, the railroad gun at Angle.

And if the British have a good intelligence service, they will know the

has been moved to Calais.

That leaves... Angkor.

There is only one way we get rid of Macpherson.

A French girl will be picked up tomorrow morning at six o 'clock.

by five assessed men in a truck and taken to SS headquarters for trial.

You once told me you suspected the owner of the town's bar to have a contact

with the Marquis, right? We could leak some information.

Sorry, miss, but I told you it would be worse with them.

I've come to tell you that if you should ever meet that English colonel, that

Macpherson again, tell him that you've talked to Ackermann.

Remember that name, Ackermann.

Tell him not to be a stubborn fool, that his efforts are useless.

He is better off surrendering to me.

At least he will be treated as prisoner of war.

I don't think I will meet him again.

The SS Sturmführer told me I would be shot as a spy.

We live in very strange times.

It could also happen that you who are to be executed will be saved, and that I,

who captured you, will end up before the firing squad.

Your English friends.

who have come to sabotage the railroad gun will arrive at Ango and find

The gun has been moved.

why one of you will have to stay here to see if any additional SS troops are on

the truck.

Oh.

At the 20 -kilometer mark on Highway 12, is there a telephone nearby? The rest

of us will be waiting.

Yes, a couple of kilometers away, the Moulin Rail Station.

We have a good find there.

Good. Call us then.

And tell us if Janine's on the truck with the SS men.

And how many men are in the convoy escorting it? D 'accord.

C 'est Radio -Landre.

Les messages.

Marco.

Marco.

The Trojan War will not be fought.

The Trojan War will not be fought.

The birds are going to die in Peru.

The birds are going to die in Peru.

They wound my heart with monotonous languor.

They wound my heart with monotonous languor. Les amis, c 'est fini.

It's the moment.

We are free.

Mind if I make a phone call, Robert?

No. Go right ahead.

Jean -Louis, that's you.

The cow gave birth without complications.

Tell the family, please.

Thank you.

My compliments.

And the best of good luck.

I have to menage in Germany, too.

It's not very big.

His name is Ackerman, or something like that.

By the way, he knows your name and how many there are of you.

Did you tell him?

No. I don't know how he knew it.

Then, I couldn't understand too clearly what he meant.

But he said, a certain railway car at Angot has been moved.

They didn't take the bait.

What do you mean, bait?

And what else did you tell him? You could never understand.

The SS beat me till I could not stand it anymore.

I told them everything.

What do you mean, everything?

Your sabotage mission to the submarine base that you told me not to tell about.

So that's what the funny talk of yours was all about, huh?

You figured everything, didn't you?

That she'd spill her guts, tell them everything you wanted her to, huh?

Now, you listen to me.

Who's the enemy?

The people I shoot at?

The people I serve under.

Are you finished, Burke?

No.

You and that German been bouncing that girl around like an old tennis ball in

your own private war, haven't you?

Well, when we get back, if we do, you got one more thing to account for, won't

you? When we get back, Burke.

And if we get back as you put, you can do whatever you damn bloody well please.

But right now there's a job to be done.

And in 15 minutes we'll leave him to do it.

And you'll come along with us to do your share.

Take my word for it, you'll be there.

Thank you.

For what?

For defending me.

I once done it before.

Is this thing you must do dangerous?

We've only got a few minutes.

It might be our only chance.

Please, don't waste time.

What do you think? Was I wrong?

What do you mean?

In what sense?

Maybe Burke was right. I should have returned.

The submarine got me all back to safety.

Instead of starting this private war with that German.

I think the results are important, not the motive.

I don't know.

We've already lost four lives and the job is still to be done.

Truth is, four years of war have bloody well emptied me.

To stop and think and look back.

Once I had a wife and friends.

They're all gone.

Once I had ideals.

Now I don't even remember what they were.

for my friend to then go that the train has not moved from the tunnel.

All right.

Tell

me.

Thank you.

The monkeys will get you as far as the coast.

In the office, sir.

I don't give a damn if Field Marshal von Rundstedt is at a private lunch. Call

him immediately.

The Allies are about to land.

Do you realize what's happening?

Find Rommel.

He's at his private villa in Halliching.

Well, Berlin, then.

Is this the report you wanted, sir?

Commanders and friend Marquis within the past two hours have destroyed two

munition depots, a radio communication center, a bridge, a railhead, but

that's... Oh, Ackerman.

Yeah. Unfortunately, you were right. It's the landing.

And against all logic, right here in Normandy.

Gentlemen, I'm afraid we have to handle it alone for the moment.

Without reinforcements? But that's impossible.

Berlin still believes it's a diversionary action.

Mailer, you move your armored troops to one kilometer from the coast.

Von Kulitz, you follow the prepared plan and blow up St. Paul's Dam.

Ah, come on. You get to your men at angle and take command of the artillery

groups. Move fast. I have already ordered the railguns move towards the

Get moving!

God, there's half the German army down there.

Adler, stop!

That way! That's the road!

Orders to move the railgun up within range of the target.

I'm done from, sir.

Let's go.

Quick, catch that train.

Follow me immediately.

You heard the colonel. Go on, get over there. Follow him. Don't move now.

Yes, sir.

kilometers to go.

And I've hated me.

Ackerman?

It wasn't you I hated.
