of all the questions left unanswered by

the last war and probably any war, one

comes back constantly to my mind. Why

does a spy risk his life? For what

possible reasons? If the spy wins, he's

ignored. If he loses, he's shut

up.

But a man stays alive as long as he's

remembered and is killed only by [music]

forgetfulness.

Let the names of men like this remain

unknown. But let the memories of some of

them serve as keys to the meanings of

treason.

I'm

on the 8th of December 1944, 6 months

after a piece of enemy shrapnel cut

short my career with a second assault

and signal company on Omaha Beach, I was

reassigned by headquarters comzto

and ordered to report to a new outlet G2

SSS 7th army. That's what it is called.

There had been no snow, a lot of crowds

when I left France. And now the crowds

were backed up against the rine. The

snow was everywhere.

Otherwise, the war hadn't changed much.

Crowded in the rear areas

and lonely as you got nearer and nearer

the front.

There's nothing but a map to tell you

where the enemy was supposed to be. But

you soon discovered if your map was

accurate or not.

>> Hey, what's that?

>> It's a German halftrack. That's what it

is.

>> I don't get it. I wasn't here when I

came by this morning.

>> Let's turn around here and find out

where we are.

>> Yes, sir.

>> Stop right here. Yes, sir.

>> I'm sorry, sir. I keep telling him back

at headquarters I got no sense of

direction, but they just won't listen to

me.

>> The soldier's not much good if he can't

find his way back to his own outfit.

It's like not being able to find your

way home.

>> My home? My home's in Boise.

>> For crying out. We've come 20 miles out

of the way. Now we'll probably have to

fight our way through a whole crowd.

Come on, get out of there. Get up, you

rats. Come on, [screaming and groaning]

move it along. Keep your hands up over

this way. Move. Come on, get the lead

out. Move over there. That's close

enough right there. You frisk all keep

them covered.

>> Hey, you. I said keep your hands up.

That's what I meant. Come on.

>> Stand still.

Watch those hands, soldier. He was hit

by shrapnel, sir.

>> You're in a luftwaffer. What are you

doing around here?

>> I'm with a fleck group. We attached to

an infantry division.

>> Yeah, which one?

>> I'm sorry, sir, but I can't tell you

anything that isn't in my sword book.

>> Want me to refresh his memory,

Lieutenant? I'll

>> leave him alone. Where's your CP?

>> I don't know. We got lost. They're not

the only ones. Bristo Paul Hunter

officere

he's weak sir we haven't eaten for 3

days not half as weak as he's going to

be if you don't keep those hands up

>> you look like you could use a shot

yourself

>> no thank you

clown Good.

All right. Out, soldiers.

>> Where'd you pick them up, T? About 5

miles from here. Over here, you

>> Hey, I'm supposed to report to a town

called Mormon Tears. You know where that

is? Stay right in this road, sir, until

we get to a town called Surn. Just

before you get into the town, take the

first fork on your left. We can't miss

it.

>> Okay, thanks.

>> Hey, is there a soul books?

>> Hey, you want a pistol, Lieutenant?

>> Yeah, give me that pistol. And there you

two.

>> Come on.

>> I want to thank you, sir, for treating

us with kindness.

>> Come on, Crowdtheads. Get moving. You're

holding up the war.

Well, we finally made it. Strange as it

seemed to me then, this was the

headquarters to which I was assigned.

>> Just a moment, sister.

How was the hunting this morning?

>> No good, Sister Beatress. There was a

chicken on the road.

This is it, sir. Sorry about getting

lost.

>> Oh, forget it. I just hope this is the

right place.

>> Through here, sir. The agitant's office

is right in the courtyard. I'll get the

bags to your room.

[bell]

>> Hey, bud. How do I get to the edge of

that?

>> Round a corner to your left, sir. Hey,

Monnique, would you show the lieutenant

the way?

>> You wish to see?

>> Yeah, I guess so.

>> This way, please.

>> The children are from the orphanage

here. Oh, of course.

>> Here you are, sir.

>> Thank you.

>> As you kings, the officer wants to seek

evidence CB.

>> What can I do for you, Lieutenant?

>> This is headquarters at G2SS.

>> That's right. I've got orders to report

here.

>> Oh, you're the new communications

officer. Colonel De'll be glad to see

you. You follow me, please.

Could I see your radio card? Sorry,

security regulations.

>> Thanks.

>> Morning, Sister Genevie. How are you

today?

>> Sisters certainly take good care of us.

They've adopted us just like their

orphans.

>> Yeah, it's quite a place.

>> We had a hard time finding one until

Captain Steven located this.

We don't like to be too close to the

army. Sometimes they don't understand

our procedure.

>> I can see their point.

>> After 5 years of fixing your place up

again, our guys are trying to help.

>> Up here?

>> Yes, sir.

>> Find me, sir.

>> What is it? What?

>> This is our new communications officer.

Here's his order, sir.

>> Lieutenant Renick, sir. Reporting for

duty.

>> Glad you finally got here, Lieutenant.

Sit down. I'll be with you in a minute.

Where was I, Simonson?

>> That the intelligence.

>> Oh, yes. that the intelligence

penetration of Germany by French or

Alsation agents or by any non-German

personnel is practically an

impossibility. Okay, Simon.

>> Yes, sir.

>> Now for the rough part. I therefore ask

that you reconsider our request in

connection with the use of German

prisoners of war in our work. We've

already located many promising

candidates in several PW camps. How

about the men down at the Sarberg cage,

Pete?

>> They said they'd hold them another day

or two, sir.

>> All right. These men, I believe, if

properly trained and used, can help save

American lives. We intend to take only

volunteers, and in that case, we

pinpoint forward. Captain Sbert

speaking. Yes, he's here. Just a minute.

G27th Army, sir. Develin speaking. Yes,

sir.

Then we can go ahead as discussed.

Well, I'm sure you won't regret it.

Thank you, sir. Bye. Forget the memo,

Simonson. The old boy came through. Army

says, "Try it out."

>> Well, that's very gracious of them, I'd

say.

>> This calls for a drink, don't you think,

Colonel?

>> Right. Break out the quarrel. I

>> Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot to introduce

you. This is Gvers recruiting. Hi, Major

Richards, our exec.

>> Welcome to our club.

>> Vincent, documents.

>> Hello, Lieutenant.

>> Sever

security.

>> Glad to meet you, Lieutenant.

>> Sergeant Simson, best red tape

specialist at both sides of the

Atlantic. Thank you, sir.

>> This is Lieutenant uh what was your name

again?

>> Renick.

>> That's right. Lieutenant Renick, our new

communications officer Richards. We want

transportation first thing in the

morning for Sar. Well, we're finally

going to pay a visit to your German

friends. Pete,

>> pardon me, sir, but if I may, I'd like

to talk with you about my duties.

>> Well, it can wait till morning, can it,

Lieutenant? How about coming along to

Sarberg with us? It'll give you an idea

of what it's all about. Votam is here.

Or should I say pro?

No, sir, not me. When a man gets his

life handed back to him like I just did,

he'd be a fool to put it up for sale

again. I'll do any kind of work you

want.

>> Next, ma'am.

>> I have never been interested in

politics. They forced me to join the

party. It was the only way I could get a

promotion.

>> All right, next ma'am.

>> Sergeant Potting, sir.

>> Howdy, Sergeant. Sit down.

>> You smoke?

>> Yes, sir, I do.

Dick.

Thank you. No, not now.

>> What unit were you with when captured?

>> 24th Infantry. Oh, what was left of it?

>> Did you desert?

>> No, sir. I was caught by one of your

patrols while uh while visiting her wife

of an elation farmer. She was a very

lonely woman, sir.

>> How long have you been in the Vermach

bar?

>> Since 41, unfortunately.

>> And before that,

>> I worked in a Panza factory in Hamburg.

And before that, I was with the circus.

Yes, sir. I took care of two tigers in

the lion. A lionist to be exact. I lost

my job when the old woman died. Have you

ever been in jail? Yes, sir. In 36 in

Dudeldov and in 42 in Norway.

>> What were the charges?

>> In civilian life, theft and in the army,

how shall I say insubordination?

I hope it won't count against me.

>> What are your political convictions?

>> My political convictions? I've never

been able to afford any.

>> Then why do you want to work for us?

>> Because you're winning the war. Isn't

that a good enough reason?

>> Well, good or bad, I suppose it's a

valid one.

>> In other words, you don't mind the

general disaster as long as you come out

ahead.

>> If you want to put it that way,

>> I guess a few years ago, for the same

reason you were shouting, Zigg Hile.

>> No, not that. That was one swindle I

never fell for. They were too much like

my cats to suit me. Dangerous to turn

your back on.

>> Would you work for us even if it meant

risking your life? I didn't expect the

job to be safe or pleasant. Why should

you take Germans for safe work while

your own people are in danger?

>> All right, Sergeant. We'll think about

it. Next.

>> This next guy is supposed to be an

experienced radio man.

>> Pardon me. May I ask you a question now,

sir?

>> What is it?

>> How much do you pay?

>> Thanks a lot, Sergeant. Don't forget to

keep our guys separated from the others.

>> I know what you mean, sir. I'll take

care of it. Just wait for

>> Look, I wonder what he's doing here.

>> Don't you know? They look for volunteers

who will work for them.

>> Have they found any?

>> Yes.

>> But there are men here who will remember

their names.

>> And someday when we've won, they'll be

taken care of.

>> When we won, you still believe in that?

Here

they come, the volunteers.

Look at them. They're ready to do

anything just to save their own hides.

Like most of us,

>> what did you say?

>> Yes, we are no different from them. We

didn't care what happened to others as

long as they didn't bother any of us.

We just closed our eyes and went along

until we found ourselves supposed forced

to fight the wrong enemy. You sound as

if you're all set to join the Americans

yourself.

>> I don't know. That takes courage. The

title with me is I want to stay alive.

Like most of us, I talk, but I do

nothing.

>> [bell]

>> Paul.

Paul, are you asleep?

>> No. What is it?

>> Did you see their faces this morning out

in the yard?

>> Yes. For some of them, nothing has

changed. Even now,

>> the armies want you for questioning.

>> Me Americans want me now?

>> Yes. Come with me.

Sergeant Paul Richter, you're facing a

court marshal of the Vermont. You are

accused of treason against your fur and

your fatherland. Have you anything to

say in your defense?

>> What are you doing here? Evedropping,

huh?

>> Get it over with quick.

What happened? One of the PWs fell out

of a window. Let's get him inside before

they push over. Hey, let's come over to

that light. All right, bring it up, you

fell. Come on. There's nothing to look

at.

>> Bring it up. I said get back to your

>> Which room is the guy fall from?

>> Paul? Are you kidding? He was pushed.

>> To keep your mouth shut, Jo.

>> All right, let's go.

>> Well, what about you? Let's go.

[screaming]

>> Mr. Mick.

>> Yeah.

>> Sergeant Watkins asked me to tell you

there is a German to see you downstairs.

A soldier.

>> Morning Griffin.

>> Morning sir.

>> Wanted to see me. What's it all about?

>> I remembered you from the morning I was

captured sir. I thought maybe you can

help me. That morning you were captured.

>> Let's remember those crops we picked up

in Hagenal Woods. Lieutenant. Oh yeah.

How's your friend doing? He was killed,

sir, 10 days ago.

He was killed.

By whom?

He was murdered by some of the other

prisoners. Yeah, I heard about that.

He's pushed out of a window, wasn't he?

Yes. Coffee deck.

>> No thanks.

Is that why you came here?

>> No, sir. It is Well,

I want to work for you, and I thought

you might be able to help me.

You know what you're getting into.

>> Doesn't matter. Even if it means

fighting against your own people. I

believe fighting against him now is

fighting for them.

>> Are you sure it isn't the murder of your

friend that's prompting you to do this?

>> No, sir. That was only the last thing

that happened.

>> Sit down.

>> Thank you.

>> Look, it's none of my business, but the

job you'll have to do here isn't as

clean and simple as you may think.

I don't feel there's any difference

between one way of fighting or another.

Isn't important thing to believe in what

you're fighting for.

>> What do you believe in? Do you know that

is it change when your crowd's taking a

beating?

>> Hey, got a cigarette?

Sit down, Corporal. Don't let me

interrupt.

>> Thank you, sir.

>> Go ahead. What do you believe in?

>> I don't quite know how to say it,

but I believe in a life in which one is

not always afraid. in a life in which

people are free and honest with each

other. And I know we won't have this in

Germany until

until we have lost. It

>> sounds great. What makes you so sure

you'll be able to stick to these

convictions?

>> Things will change. You'll be facing

your own people.

It may become hard for you then to hold

on to your beliefs.

>> Not any harder than it has been. Not any

harder than fighting for something I

knew was wrong.

>> You were a medic. You didn't really

fight.

To be there is to fight.

>> There's something in what you say,

Corporal. Griffin. Griffin.

>> Yes, sir.

>> Now, Major Richards, I want to keep this

man here a few days.

>> Yes, sir.

>> We'll let you know.

>> This way.

>> Seems like a decent kid. What do you

think, Pete?

>> Yeah, quite unusual in this racket. As a

matter of fact, he looks like one of the

few crowds we can trust.

>> How about you, Renick?

>> I'm a signal officer, sir. I'm sorry. I

really have no opinion about any of

them.

>> That didn't seem to be the case a moment

ago. The way you talked to this kid

sounded as if you had a pretty definite

point of view. What is it?

>> Well, if you want to know, sir, I I

think they're all a bunch of lice. But

if I had to make a choice, I'd go along

with this guy from the circuit. He's a

crook. At least he doesn't kid himself

about why he's working for us.

>> I think you're wrong about the boy,

Renick. There are all kinds of traitors,

and I have no more sympathy with them

than you have. But our personal feelings

and opinions are unimportant as long as

these men are serving our cause. That's

why from now on when you're on the job,

you'll have only one opinion, and that's

the right one for the job.

>> Everything set for the night, Pete?

>> Yes. 0200 hours. Tiger and Freddy.

>> Be sure and check their briefing before

I take them through. It's their first

time.

Oh, and Pete, I want Lieutenant Renick

to go along. It may do you some good.

That's all. See you later.

Oh, 200 hours.

A piece of no man's land was indicated

by Division G2 as a spot where two of

our agents, known as Tiger and Freddy,

were to be smuggled through enemy lines.

They were to secure information on SS

and elite troops in this sector. It was

a so-called tourist mission.

Minefield, wait here. Minefield, wait.

>> Mines.

>> Remember, the most important thing is

exact map coordinates for your report.

No report at all is better than one of

which you're not 100% sure.

>> That simple. What I want to know. Look,

just let me do the talking, Tiger. What

I was trying to say is that sometimes

out of ambition, you're apt to

exaggerate and report things you haven't

seen.

>> Me, I'm a liar.

>> That's exactly what I meant. You may not

lie, but you certainly exaggerate.

>> Okay, we can go now. Single file.

>> Come on, single file.

>> The captain said to give us a short

artillery barrage just for cover. Should

start any moment now.

>> That's it. Better get them ready,

Lieutenant.

Okay,

>> Freddie, you first.

>> Don't forget your danger signal is a

group of 5Ds. Time of transmission 2400

hours.

>> Yes, sir.

>> I want to ask a question. What is it?

>> Who's the captain of the team? What?

>> Who's in command? Quiet.

>> You are, Tiger. And you're responsible

for your teammate.

>> All right. As long as I know.

>> Okay. Good luck to both of you.

>> Go ahead. I'll follow you.

>> Okay. But remember, from now on, I'm

giving orders. Let's go.

>> Just keep to your left. It'll stop him

in just a moment. The German line's

about 300 yds over there.

1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 take over.

Elang. Here's a new guest for your

hotel. Yeah, I know all about it. Over

here.

Ready? Exercise. 1 2 3 4 1

>> Tony. Em,

>> this is the man we got the file on this

morning. Code name's happy.

>> Yes, sir. I I put him in with Tiger and

Fritz.

>> Well, lots of luck. You're in good hands

now.

>> Follow me, please.

It's a cut near the window.

You make your own bed here. All

personnel belongings will be turned over

to me and you will get a receipt for

them.

>> And what about my wallet? They took it

away from me. I had a couple of

photographs of my mother and father.

Would like to keep them if possible. All

your personal documents will be kept in

the headquarters safe until the war is

over. You have been told your code name

is EP.

>> Yes.

>> As you will see by this list of

regulations. Under no circumstances will

you reveal your true name or identity to

anyone. Remember that.

>> All right. Now, happy hold it. Good.

Father's name.

profession?

>> Doctor. He's a surgeon.

>> When did you last see him?

>> Uh about a year ago in Berlin. He was in

charge of the hospital there.

I thought in America only criminals are

fingerprinted.

>> Come on. Come on. Come on.

>> Over here. Over here. Come on. Let's go.

Hurry up.

Here

is an example of the Vermach blacklist.

It's the greatest single danger that

confronts an agent in the Reich. Carries

the names of all suspects. It's brought

up to date by a weekly supplement which

carries the number of the week on its

cover.

>> Hey, what's the matter? Happy.

>> Come on, stay on your feet. Help. Don't

let that shoot drag you.

>> Now, pull hard on the bottom line.

>> Renick.

Renick.

>> Here's when was our last radio contact

with Freddy?

>> About four nights ago. Did he send his

danger signal?

>> No, he came in on his schedule. Stayed

on the air for about 20 minutes.

Midnight on.

>> According to your note, Simonson, wasn't

that the evening he said he last saw

him?

>> Yes, sir. At approximately 9:00.

>> What do you want me to assume? That

Lieutenant Renick is lying and you're

telling the truth?

>> I don't know. I may have made a mistake.

>> You may have made a mistake.

>> Listen, Tiger, we warned you before you

left that you were responsible for the

safety of your teammate. Now you show up

with a wild story that he was picked up

by the Vermach control and shipped to

the Eastern Front.

>> I'm telling the truth. I warned him not

to go out at night, but they wouldn't

listen.

>> How do you know they shipped him to the

Eastern Front?

>> I told you I had friends in Man I could

trust. One of them checked on it.

>> Now wait a minute. Didn't you say before

you couldn't get along with Freddy? That

you had some kind of an argument? Well,

were you lying then or now?

>> I'm not lying, sir. Yes, we had an

argument. I got mad and hit him and he

he ran out in the street.

>> Why did you tell us that before?

>> I did. I just didn't say it was the same

night. I was frightened. That's all.

>> Listen to me, Bar. You know as well as I

do that before the summer is over, we'll

be in Germany in every city in town. And

if we find out you've betrayed us,

whether you're a double agent or a plain

crook, you'll wind up in front of a

firing squad.

>> I have nothing to worry about. I haven't

been disloyal, sir. I have Get him out

of here, Watkins. Yes, sir. Come on.

>> Give me a chance to prove what I've said

is true. Get out.

Is that a cigarette running?

>> Maybe not the best liar I've ever heard,

but certainly the biggest.

>> I wonder how much that crowd's paid him.

Pete, I want him sent back to the Joe

house and treated as if nothing had

happened.

>> Yes, sir. See gets CIC on it right away.

Tell him it's urgent.

>> Yes, sir.

>> Hello. Get me, Captain Hendrickson. 78

for that forward, please.

>> I know it sounds crazy, but he may be

telling the truth. He's too smart a liar

to lie that badly.

Well, what's new in company D?

Say you know what the D stands for? The

damn.

That's what we are.

Here, Mikin, if anyone deserves a second

helping tonight, I do.

I don't have to tell you the food on the

other side of our glorious rin stinks.

What's the matter with all of you?

>> I go out and do a job while the rest of

you sit here by the fire and when I come

back you look at me as if well for

heaven's sake say something. What

happened to Freddy?

>> He was your teammate, wasn't he?

>> Sure he was. And he got caught. So what?

That's a chance every one of us takes.

>> Anyway, I remember none of you were this

upset about Red. Then he got lost.

>> Red? It was different.

>> How do you know it was? What do any of

you know about it? Huh? Nothing.

>> Listen to him talk. Well, Freddy got

caught because she wasn't smart enough.

Because you was dumb,

That's why her mother tiger.

>> Knock it off. All you.

[music]

>> All right, forget it. Here.

You haven't forgotten the old song. Will

this all be remembered? Well, they are

playing it all over again. [music]

Uh,

>> may I have a cup of coffee, please?

>> Sure.

>> Who was right?

>> A boy who missed his pinpoint.

He didn't jump when the green light went

on. He landed 20 mi of his target

outside an SS bars with his parachute

tangger in a tree.

>> It doesn't happen often. You don't have

to be afraid.

>> I'm not a champion. And [music] what are

you afraid of?

>> I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be

inquisitive.

>> Oh, that's all I had. I don't mind.

>> You know, once I was doing the same job

and I too was afraid the first time I

jumped. Maybe in a different way. But

that's why I think I know what's

bothering you.

>> You do? What is it?

>> You are afraid of having to face your

own people, aren't you?

>> [music]

>> Man,

>> officer Messenger, sir, with a dispatch.

>> Yes, Colonel Develin.

>> That's right. This is from Colonel

Williamson. And sir, top secret.

>> [music]

>> Come on, hurry up. Bringing you guys

together is getting tougher every day.

>> What's it all about, anyway?

[music]

>> All right, gentlemen. Here's the dope.

General Joerger, commanding the fourth

corps

here along the east bank of the Rine,

has sent emissaries to Switzerland,

informing us that he's willing to

surrender his entire core as soon as he

can establish contact with our troops.

He's also requested that we put in a

radio mission that'll be hidden here in

Mannheim to act as a communications link

between his headquarters and us. Is that

clear?

>> Sure. Well, looks as if the crowds have

finally wised up. D2 has approved

Jerger's request and asked that we put

in a tourist mission about 250 mi behind

this sector here in the vicinity of

Munich to find out how much mobile

strength the Germans can bring up to

close in the gap in case the surrender

comes off. G2 also suspects that

elements of the 11th Panza core are

being held back here as a mobile reserve

to be thrown in wherever needed. Now,

the Manheim job will require a team of

one radio operator and a first class

agent who really knows the town and has

contacts there he can depend on.

>> Who have you got in mind, Colonel?

>> Now, don't all jump on me. The only man

who can do it is our friend Bart the

Tiger.

>> You're not serious.

>> Are you kidding?

>> Here's the CIC report that came in

yesterday on the Tiger's first mission.

They checked his story and it seems that

everything he said was true.

Furthermore, G2 was given his

intelligence mission an A rating.

Besides that, he was

>> was born and raised in Manheim.

>> That's right, Renie. That's why no

matter how we feel about him at the

moment, he's the logical choice.

>> What about his teammate, the radio man?

>> I'd like to talk about that later.

First, let's take up the tourist

mission. I want to send Happy. Any

objections? No sir, but sir help me I

don't get sending the tiger.

>> Richards, is Monique here?

>> Yes, sir. She's waiting outside.

>> Ask her to come in. Hold your horses,

Pete. He's not on the plane yet.

>> Okay, Bob.

>> Yeah, okay.

>> Come in, honey.

>> Sit down, Monique. Would you care for a

cup of coffee or a cigarette?

>> Cigarette's okay, sir.

>> Tell us about the tiger.

Have you noticed anything recently that

we should hear about?

>> No, sir. He hasn't changed. As usual, he

doesn't get along with the others, and

he's difficult, but that's all.

>> How would you feel about sending him out

again?

>> I would send him, sir.

>> I'm all for that if it's just to get rid

of him.

>> Okay. How about happy?

>> I think that in many ways he's the best

of them all.

>> Why?

Because

well because he's the first German I've

known who really believes in what he's

doing.

>> You think he's ready to go?

What's the matter with him?

>> There's only one thing that might make

it difficult for him. Maybe because he's

young and honest. He may begin to doubt

himself once he's back in his own

country. If this mission is difficult, I

think it would be better to wait.

Come here a minute, Bunny.

Their first service since the Germans

left.

Look, Monique, we've known each other

for quite a while. The deal I made with

you and Alers before you jumped into

France was that you'd always be on the

level with me. Right.

>> Yes.

>> Then I want to ask you something.

>> I know what you said about Happy is

true, but I feel there's something you

didn't tell me.

>> What?

>> Are you in love with him?

>> He's a bos, sir, like all the others. We

have too much to forget before we can

love any of them.

>> May I go now?

>> Yeah, sure. Go ahead.

>> Thank you, sir.

>> Richards.

>> Yes, sir.

>> I want Manique transferred. Do we have

another job for her?

>> I'll see what I can do. Would station K

be all right?

>> Sure. Sure, that's fine. Now, about the

radio man for the Manheim mission. The

Germans have requested that one member

of the mission be an American officer.

Army agrees. They feel it'll show we

mean business. Therefore, it's clear in

this case that the American will have to

be the radio man.

>> Go ahead, Colonel.

>> You're with me, Renick. I can't order

you to do this. And under the

circumstances, I'm sure none of us would

blame you if you said no.

>> Can't we get an officer from the Army

Communication Center? We could train him

in a few days.

>> Couldn't train him in even a few weeks.

Now, if you're worried about Tiger, I

think I can handle him. He'd have a hard

time pushing me around.

>> Look, I don't get you. A few weeks ago,

you didn't seem to like this job very

much. Well, he changed his mind.

>> No, I haven't. I still don't like it,

but we have no choice.

>> Besides, you said it was important,

didn't you, Colonel?

>> Anybody get a cigarette?

>> Yeah, sure.

>> You know I don't smoke.

Well, bet you are fine, sir. Let's check

your gear. The shovel that goes here.

>> Mhm. Your landing gun, shoot pack,

helmet, gloves, the rucks sacks for your

radio. You better put it in yourself so

you know it's all right.

>> Good. Everything okay, Renie?

>> No complaints so far, sir.

>> Did you pack the shoot yourself?

>> Yes, sir. I packed them this morning.

>> I see you've got all your medals on

bars. Maybe even a couple of extras.

>> No, sir. They are all my own. I am in

Norway and friends and campaign 41 in

the east. I wonder how many of our guys

he knocked off to get them. Nonsir, I

got them all in my own special way. A

daughter was

>> Don't fall in love with any of this

stuff, Happy. Remember, you have to bury

your gear once you land.

>> Yes, sir. You can go draw your personal

supplies now. Martin.

>> Yes, sir.

>> Take them over to the prop shop.

>> Yes, sir.

>> What's the takeoff time?

>> Oh, 100 hours, sir. That's if the

weather holds.

>> Good. When they're through here, bring

them over to the briefing room.

>> Yes, sir.

>> Got your check off list?

>> Yes.

>> Here, honey. Check this guy out.

One compass,

German cigarettes, three packages,

vertian stamps, denzad dreams,

five tablets.

They're stimulants. Don't take more than

one a day.

German razor blades, six and one razor.

German maps sheet Y3 Y4 Y5.

>> Let's see. That's all. Good luck to you.

>> Thank you, Monique.

>> Okay, Happy. Here you are, Monnique. Two

more customers. If there's anything else

you can think of, sir, just let me know.

>> You're all through, Happy. The Colonel

wants you in the briefing room.

>> Yes, sir.

These are his papers, sir. His soul book

with his health record inside and his

orders. The money and his vermark travel

certificates are in this envelope.

>> All right, happy. Let's go over it once

more. What name you're traveling under?

>> Stann Luff medic number L43587.

>> We took his age, place of birth, etc.

out of his own soul book.

>> Well, at least you didn't have to

memorize that. What's your cover?

>> I'm a sickle for returning from base

hospital 12 at a rational.

>> What was the doctor's name? Who signs

your orders?

>> Fa I had pneumonia. We marked it on the

health circuit with code number seven.

>> Good. Now show me a pinpoint.

>> It's here east of Minion near Felink.

After I bury my shoot and my gear, I go

to Minion by way of highway. I'm

supposed to be on my way back to my

outfit near Manhan.

>> And your route?

>> It's Minion Auxburg Stok and then

Manheim.

>> And what's your objective?

>> To locate the 11th pansa. The

headquarters are believed to be in this

area somewhere northwest of Mion.

>> Suppose you have to change your route.

We already have an extra set of travel

orders and a date stamp.

>> All right, here they are. Extra set of

orders, a date stamp, official Vermark

seal. Be careful to mark your map so

that no one except you can interpret it.

>> I know, sir. Pardon me, sir. Renick and

the Tiger ready for you. We haven't got

much time.

>> All right, bring them in. Get back here,

Happy. Even if you haven't done it all,

you've got to be back here in 5 days.

>> I will, sir. Okay, Happy.

>> Well, how does it feel to be a civilian

again?

>> Fine. Just tell the pilot to drop me in

Cleveland, Ohio.

>> If you ever want to get back to

Cleveland, you better concentrate on

this. Where's your pinpoint?

>> It's a meadow about 5 km south of

Beerton. Sir,

>> you know exactly where that is?

>> I've only been staring at it on the map

for three solid days.

>> In case you separated on landing, what's

the address of the safe house in

Mannheim?

>> 18er, second floor rear.

>> 18. You sure? Not 28.

>> 18.

>> Knock off the kidding Pete. How about

you, Bar? Are you certain that your

people in Manheim will let the

lieutenant in?

>> Yes. He must knock four times with an

interval after the first two. When they

open, he is on late to say greetings

from the tiger.

>> Okay. We told General Jagger's people

where they can contact you. Now, is

there anything else?

>> Yeah.

One little thing. While we're all

talking here together as friends,

I'd just like to say that what happened

to Freddy is not going to happen to me.

If I get caught, it won't be my fault.

Is that clear?

>> What do you mean? He means just what he

said. Lieutenant Renick is not likely to

want to take a walk around Manheim just

for the fun of it. Furthermore, in any

disagreement that might come up, no

matter what happens, Lieutenant Renick

will always be right. Get that through

your head, Bar. Lieutenant Renick will

always be right.

>> I don't know. Sometimes I'd rather go

than stay behind. Don't get yourself,

brother.

Get ready. We're approaching the first

target.

Action stations.

The address. I forgot the address in I

forgot the address. 18

target

18.

>> Well, bud, how does it feel to be going

home?

>> Home? Fine, I hope. Well, if you're

hungry, amigo here, I'll give you a

sandwich.

>> No, thank you.

>> Well, after Majos, I'll let you know a

few minutes before we approach.

>> Are you an American?

>> Why don't I look like one?

>> I'm sorry. I didn't mean it that way.

>> You didn't, huh? Well, I just hope that

before this is over, I can get a crack

at a couple of square heads like you.

>> You hate us, don't you?

>> Call it anything you like. I haven't yet

felt sorry when I've seen a string of

100 pounders eat that bomb rack. There's

some coffee.

>> Thank you.

Milo, I want you to know you may be a

mile or two off the pinpoint. Come on.

Stand by.

From by the way of Auxburg Stutgard, you

track. Guess you were right.

>> I usually am for Come on. Track 7. The

night is shorter when you have someone

to talk to.

Say, I hope you don't mind, but uh I've

been meaning to ask you,

where did you get all your money?

>> What money?

>> That fat roll you carry in your puck.

>> I just got back to pay for 3 months.

Besides, it isn't very much. Well, I

really don't care how much it is as long

as you kindly agree to

loan me. Let's say half of it.

>> Now, let me explain it to you. I'm

simply in need of cash, and I'm

perfectly willing to let you profit by

it.

>> Here,

take your chores.

Where is in our country? Could you get a

better deal? Paper for gold.

The fat stomach this used to go around,

I assure you, is much thinner now.

But maybe this this is a better

investment for a young man like you. It

comes from a good marriage. I think they

had been together

25 years. How about it?

>> No thanks. I don't plan to get married.

>> Well, that's up to you. But if you

change your mind, remember you'll be

helping a friend. Who knows, maybe

someday you'll need one.

>> I think we better get some sleep now.

You know, sometimes I envy you fellows

at the front.

>> At least you can save your money. Me, I

spend all money here on trains or buses

or at best on my motorcycle.

>> Hines Schultz, special couer of the

Vesses. Some title, eh?

>> But money? No.

No.

Happy dreams. cupboard.

Everybody out.

Come on. Keep moving. Come on. We have

to do take out J.

Come on.

That's right. They hit us for 3 hours

this morning.

Keep in line.

Keep in line.

Keep in mind.

Do you know if the 11th pans is still in

field?

>> 11th pans? No, I don't.

>> How do I get to please?

>> Can you read over there?

Keep moving, please.

>> My sister was bummed out last night.

>> Excuse me.

>> For the third time. How long can it go

on? How long can you expect us to live

like this?

>> Don't talk like that. And then he kept

complaining about the food. You get it

all at the front. I told him. He laughed

like he was crazy. Fritz, my own son.

Carl. Carl. Ham. Excuse me. Excuse me,

please.

>> You're Carl Pal, aren't you? Don't you

remember me? I'm Paula Schneider. I

worked for your father in Berlin. I'm

>> sure I remember. You better hit nurse at

his clinic.

>> I suppose it's uniform. It does make us

all look different. How long have you

been in the L buffet?

>> I was called in 43.

>> Look at you. I remember when you first

started school. You were still living

across from the clinic. It was a long

time ago, wasn't it?

>> No. Back west. Control point. All

passengers out.

I saw your father yesterday at the base

hospital in Bsburg.

>> You saw my father?

>> Yes. Did you know he was stationed

there?

>> Oh, yes. I heard he was transferred from

Bian.

>> He's better off in Bsburg. Safer. Are

you going to see him?

>> I'm trying to get permission to stop

there.

>> Well, they'll give it to you. Just tell

them you haven't seen your father for a

long time.

>> Name and train.

>> Flyer PA FBN 347.

>> All right, go ahead. Nef

afraid I didn't have my orders today.

You'll have to see the f people. Is that

the main control point?

>> Excuse me. Maybe I can help. I know the

couple very well. His father is chief

surgeon at the Base Hospital. If you

want, I can vouch for

>> Don't worry, FN. It's just a formality.

Go ahead.

>> Well, when you see your father, please

give him my best.

>> I will. Thank you.

Hey, where are you going? Is it up there

on your left next to the monument?

>> This is a control point of the commonant

tour. I can't help you with your papers

are on. Come on, get moving.

>> I know. I know nothing. I can't let you

through. Stand reporting, sir.

>> Yes.

>> I didn't have a chance to get my order

stber.

I'm looking for HQ11's core.

>> 11th core? They moved a couple of days

ago to Kim.

>> I see you've been in the army 2 years.

Don't you know you should have your

order stamped?

Say, look who's coming.

>> Hey, Hines, what happened to you? I

haven't seen you and your kid horse for

quite a while. Just back from a trip

east, but as you see, it didn't take

long for them to get me on the road

again. I'm on my way to Wsburg now.

Well, if it isn't the corporal.

>> Do you know him?

>> Know him? Why? He's a good friend of

mine.

>> Anything wrong?

>> No, nothing serious. I'll let go this

time.

>> This man with cobble shoots can pass.

>> Thanks. I'll be back tomorrow.

>> See, sometimes it's good to have a

friend.

>> Where you going?

>> I'm trying to get to K somewhere

tonight.

>> Well, if you don't mind a little detour,

I'll give you a ride. Come on.

Heat. Heat.

pick up at the common tour. Han,

can I have 10 liters?

>> Certainly, sir. There's always some for

you.

>> Good day, sir.

here in Wsburg.

>> Yes, last fall. But it's coming back to

life again. They moved a big chemical

plant into town last month from East

Russia.

>> Uh there is a base hospital here, isn't

there?

>> Yes, up there in the B. Most of the

casualties from the west come through

here. It's next to the factory.

>> Uh do you have a phone?

>> Inside. It's an army line.

It's to your right.

Yes.

>> At the base hospital, please.

>> Hello.

>> Uh, base hospital.

>> Yes.

>> Can I talk to Dr. Malra? Dr. Friedrich

Malra.

>> Hold the line, please. I'll connect you

with him.

>> Hello.

Hello. This is Dr. Malra.

Operator, did you ring me?

>> Yes, sir. The party is still on the

line.

>> I can't hear her. Hello. Hello. Are you

calling Dr. Mara? Hello? I believe this

must be a mistake.

>> Got some friends here.

>> I thought ahead.

>> Well, I know a good place where we can

spend the night. Right near Cryine. It's

a little out of the way, but it's worth

it.

There's no more room tonight.

Everything's taken.

>> I know. I know.

>> I told you there's no more room.

>> Is far across the alley?

>> There's nothing she can do about it.

>> Come on.

>> One of the few places left in Germany

where a soldier can get a clean bed and

a bottle of wine. That is if he has

money

>> or if he has a friend who will pay for

him.

>> That's right.

>> [music]

>> Hey, is Richie around?

>> Richie? Yeah, I just saw her.

>> See, don't they know you?

>> You? [laughter] I can't quite remember.

>> Liar. Is Fitz in the office?

>> Yeah, there.

>> Take care of my friend here. I'll be

right back.

>> There's still some wine left. A special

guest want it.

>> Is this place legal?

>> It's as much a part of the veh as your

lumen. Only the dancing is a deal. But

then again, it all depends on how you

look at it.

>> Want the change?

>> No, never mind.

>> Oh, thanks. I would never have asked

before, but now I would starve if I

didn't. We're only open 2 days a week.

>> Since there station somewhere around

I thought you weren't supposed to

>> You're not supposed to have wine either,

but that doesn't seem to bother you.

>> You must know your way around here. How

about getting me a glass?

>> Go ahead. I'm not thirsty.

>> Well, thank you, sir.

We interrupt this broadcast to bring you

the latest news on the western front in

the vicinity of Mheim.

Char,

we want music.

>> Yeah, let's have some music.

>> The situation remains unchanged. Heavy

enemy pressure.

>> Still interested in that.

>> Does it bother you?

>> Nope. Just pause me. Who wants to know

nowadays?

Our grandadas are heroically holding

their positions. Holding their

positions. Never changes until one

morning. You'll open the window and

they'll be here. The armies.

>> Hello. Will you please tell him to stop

it?

>> What's the matter?

>> This is an official announcement of

dimension. Come on. The enemy parachute

has reported yesterday al mar is still

at large. He's believed to be wearing

Lufi boots as his footprints near the

buried parachute have discompetit.

Everything's fine. We have a room across

the street and thanks to Fritzy plenty

of food. And now what's most important?

How about something decent to drink?

>> It's not that easy anymore, Hansel. But

I'll see what I can do.

>> We were lucky to run into each other,

weren't we, Carl? You've got money, and

I know how to spend it.

>> Pardon me, but if you still like to

dance.

>> Oh, you're not as slow as I thought.

>> I hope you don't think you're doing me a

favor.

>> I only changed my mind, that's all.

>> But you better hurry up or there won't

be much left.

>> But you learn to dance.

And it's cool stuff.

>> Haven't you to dance since? Come on,

Corporal. I won't break.

>> Is that better?

>> Well, isn't it

>> coming here?

>> I'll be right there.

>> Pretty, huh? lost her leg a year ago in

breast.

>> Are you with a short?

>> Yes, it's all dart.

Well, it's still better than the labor

front. Not much better.

[music]

>> Maybe I'm not what you're looking for.

Maybe a sweet young man like you would

rather have someone your own age.

>> Aren't you?

>> Now, don't be generous.

If you'd seen me a couple of years ago,

why in 42 in the summer? There was an

Italian major in Milano. He wanted to

marry me.

[music]

>> Here, Richie has found something

special. A real shiny guy. 80%.

>> Just try it. [applause]

>> Don't let anybody touch that.

>> How about you?

>> No, thank you.

>> What? Enjoy yourself while you can,

soldier. It may not happen to us again.

We may all go all at once. fast.

>> May I have one of your cigarettes?

>> Well, even if we do, we've had a good

time, haven't we? We've given the world

12 years. It will never forget. And no

matter what they do, they'll never get

us out of their system.

>> Number will be a little song which was

composed by our soldiers while they were

stationed in Paris.

[music]

You're

>> the Bugan now?

>> But I remember Paris in 41 that first

summer. Do you know Paris, Carl?

>> No. The only part of France I've seen

was Alsas.

>> Als?

Yes. I was there with my outfit a few

months ago.

>> Not too German thinks of Elas as a part

of France. It's as German as rhinos or

sar.

I always thought of it as France because

>> I remember we took it from the friends.

>> We didn't take it. We took it back. We

took what belonged to us and maybe more.

>> And we didn't do it again.

>> Fine. Science, please.

>> You're right, Fritz. You're right. You

see what a good influence women are on

men.

>> Sometimes, not always. [laughter]

>> I think I better get some sleep.

>> I have to get up very early.

>> Sure. Go ahead, Copper. The woman at the

desk will show you to your room. Sorry.

Not only did you forget to say goodbye

to me, Corbrook, but you also forgot the

things downstairs

And uh

and you left these

on the table.

>> Thank you.

>> You know, we haven't seen this kind for

quite a while.

>> A doctor gave him to me in a hospital.

>> Want what one?

>> No, I'd like to get some sleep.

>> You want me to get out

with that? it.

>> Yes, I do.

>> You don't like me. Why don't you say so?

>> That has nothing to do with it.

>> It's just that I feel sorry for you.

>> Sorry for me? Who do you think you are?

I've known better men than you, and they

didn't turn their noses up at me. But

then I suppose they weren't brought up

like you. Oh, I know your type, the

little German builder. Pure and honest.

You've been taught to keep your

distance, to keep your hands clean.

Well, you are as dirty as the rest of us

now.

>> Come on, get out of here.

>> And let me tell you something. I was in

love once with a man who to me was as

decent as you think you are. And what's

more, he was in love with me.

But he was killed in Norway. And when I

bore his child, his family turned away

from me as as if I were a stranger.

I got a job. Nothing to be proud of, but

it kept us alive.

And then one day, my child was killed.

I was afraid. And when I came home after

work that night, there was nothing left

of the street where I lived.

I couldn't find her. I never did.

From then on, I didn't care what

happened. I just hated hated everybody,

but probably myself most of all.

Why? You want to know why? Because I was

hungry. Hungry for a little kindness and

[laughter]

and love. And

[laughter] I don't know,

maybe it was all my fault.

Anyway, here are dirty, miserable, and

alone.

There are thousands and thousands like

me. Well,

now you know me. Are you satisfied?

Here, drink this.

Go ahead.

I'm sorry. I just couldn't help it.

>> What's the matter, dear? Anything wrong?

Get out.

Get out. I said

Thought you said you were tired.

There are thousands and thousands like

me.

>> You've given the world 12 years it will

never forget. You know what you're

getting into.

>> Hello. Are you calling Dr. Ma? Hello.

Your father is at the base hospital in

Wittsburg now.

>> Up on the board. The hospital is next to

the factory.

>> Your main objective is to locate the

11th panzer corps.

Say cockroacher.

Here is a message about your

transportation. You've got to report to

the ML.

>> Thank you.

>> Could you help me, Corporal?

>> I have to talk to you. It's shorter this

way. Will you follow me?

Look, it isn't any of my business who

you are or what you've done. But

>> what are you talking about?

>> I know it's hard to make you believe I'm

telling the truth. But you must trust

me. You must.

>> What is it?

>> Last night, you know who sent me to your

room? It was Schultz. He ordered me to

watch you.

Look out.

>> Thank you, Corpor. I can carry my

>> I'm afraid I have to get back to Nunach,

but the truck over there is going your

way. It's all fixed. The driver knows

all about you.

too many. Have a good trip to it.

>> All right.

Didn't you say it was Schultz who

ordered you to watch me?

>> Yes, it was.

>> Well, if he did, why did you tell me

about it?

I'm not quite sure why, but last night

for the first time, he made me realize

what was happening to me, that I can't

go on like this, that there's some

reason.

>> All right,

let's suppose you are telling the truth.

That short is suspicious of me. It still

doesn't prove he's right.

>> I don't care if he's right or not. All I

know is they're after you. Look, Carl, I

know these people. I know them too well.

If you need money, here I have this

ring. You can sell it.

>> Hilda the corporate he said. This may

help keep you warm.

>> No thank.

>> Do you know that man over there?

>> Which one?

>> In the corner with the glasses.

>> No, I don't. [screaming]

>> Watch the murder saw. Everybody off.

>> Oh, I mean except the ladies.

>> Car be careful. I didn't lie to you.

>> You think you can still see what you're

shooting at?

>> Yes. At your over.

>> All right, Sergeant. Take them away.

>> All right, man. You are about to be

processed to see which one of you will

fulfill our needs here. It is an

emergency measure taken by all of the

commanding January 11th panor. Those of

you who will not be selected will be

allowed to proceed on to your regular

units. At ease, carry on, clear

say. Hey, isn't that a medic back there?

I'm talking to you, Lancer.

>> Come on. You heard the lieutenant. Move

out.

>> Come on.

>> What unit are you going to?

>> The 20th flex, sir. Attached to the 16th

Infantry Division.

>> All right. Get him to the colonel's

quarters right away.

>> But what about my unit, sir?

>> They'll have to get along without you, I

guess.

>> Come on, follow me.

Bul said this man is report.

>> Oh yes, Kunaman.

>> Yes, sir.

>> Take this man upstairs to Major Hartman.

He knows all about it.

>> Yes, sir.

>> Artman, give me a file. Here it is, sir.

The court marshal convened upon my

orders yesterday has found you guilty of

willful desertion and has therefore

recommended that the extreme penalty be

imposed and that you be hanged by the

neck until death.

>> I can't see any reason why their

sentence should not be carried out.

>> I beg you, sir. My wife and children

were bumped out. I had to find a place

for them to keep them alive.

>> So you took it upon yourself to stay

with them and neglect your duty.

>> But that was my only mistake, sir. After

20 years service.

>> Today it's more than a mistake. It's a

crime. You labor should know that better

than any of the others.

>> Yes, sir. But you can't let them kill me

for that. I beg you, sir. Not just for

myself, but for my family, my children.

>> I'm sorry. [clears throat]

In these times, the discipline of our

troops is more important than our

personal destinies.

>> That's all.

>> Sir, I beg you to reconsider. I'll do

anything. Anything you ask.

>> You're supposed to be a soldier. Act

like one. Take him away.

Come with me.

>> Take your Kodaf.

>> The medic is here, sir. All right.

The Luftwav is about the only uniform we

haven't collected here yet. At ease.

Your name and unit. for sir luck I was

on my way to man to rejoin my unit

>> there's a tray on the table next to my

bed bring it here please

>> yes sir

>> will you read the labels aloud

>> yes sir

five amples of diguline 1 cc in case of

emergency

nitroglycerine tablets 1/10enth of a

gram

alcohol

That's all. Sir,

>> you are a medic. Do you know what this

is for?

>> Yes, sir. It's used in case of a severe

attack of China victorious. A hearty,

sir.

>> Pretty good. Well, then you know what's

wrong with me. Unfortunately, I had to

send my orderly to Damster to get more

of this stuff. As you see, by the

prescription, it's important that in

case of an attack, the dose be exactly 1

cc and be given immediately. An overdose

or a delay can be fatal.

>> Yes, sir. I can see that.

>> Well, that will be all for the moment.

>> You better make yourself comfortable.

You'll be here for a while.

>> Would like to serve Christina.

I'd hoped you wouldn't remind me of it,

but I suppose a man has to eat even when

he has no appetite.

Fix the blankets on the windows.

>> Yes, sir.

>> Han.

And there's a candle on my desk. Bring

it here, please.

At your order, West. About our forward.

Have they left? Two battalions of the

21st started for Manimosha. The fifth

will be starting in the morning.

>> Will you be sure to remind the

commanding officers that despite there

being in General Jger's area, they are

still under my direct command?

>> Yes, sir. And that they will not take

orders from anyone but me?

>> Yes, sir. I'm sorry to bother you, sir,

but about the deserter. Have you signed

the order for his execution?

>> No, I have not. Thank you, Atma.

There's a bottle of Nestein in the

locker room.

>> Yes, sir.

>> And there must be another glass along to

you. There by the window.

>> I don't enjoy drinking wine by myself.

>> I don't care for any unless insists.

>> I do insist.

Furthermore, you needn't stand at

attention all the time. And for heaven's

sake, stop addressing me in the third

person.

>> Yes, sir.

>> Go ahead.

Don't make me repeat things.

[music]

>> Does he always do wish anything else,

sir?

>> Nothing.

There's an extra blanket on my bed. You

can go to sleep as soon as you have

cleared the table.

>> Yes, sir.

>> Papa.

>> Yes, sir.

>> I want to be awakened at 6.

>> Yes, sir.

And shall I clean your pistol before I

put it back in your house to sir?

>> No, you will put it next to my bed.

>> I want it here.

>> Yes, sir.

[music]

>> And uh [clears throat]

by the way, don't forget to remind me in

the morning to sign the order of the

execution.

>> Yes, sir. Here.

I said you can take these blankets.

>> Thank you, sir.

>> Should I turn the lamp off?

>> Just turn it down a little.

>> [screaming]

>> Are you there, copper?

>> Yes, sir. I'm here.

>> Good night.

>> Good night, sir.

Two battalions of the 21st of Manheim.

The fifth starts in the morning.

You will be here for a while.

Get back here, Happy. Get back here in 5

days.

In case of an attack, an overdose or a

delay can be fatal.

I beg you.

I

>> Jesus.

Jesus.

>> [music]

>> Is that almost awake?

>> No, sir. I don't think so.

Is he up?

>> No, sir. He had a very bad night.

>> What is it?

>> It's me, sir. Hakman. I have the morning

report for you, sir.

>> Give it to the corporal. I'll be ready

for you in half an hour.

>> Yes, sir.

>> What time is it?

>> A few minutes past 6, sir. Help me.

You know I had a dream. I dreamt you

were the desertter I sentenced and that

you wanted to shoot me.

I had forgotten that people like that

are too weak. They would never have the

courage to kill. Even if it is to save

themselves.

>> Sometimes it takes more courage not to

kill.

I would have preferred you hadn't not

answered me in that way, but you just

saved my life, whatever that's worth.

And so instead of punishing you, I would

like to do something for you.

>> I would suggest that her was to remain

quiet and not exert himself.

>> Third person again, Co.

>> I'm sorry, sir.

>> How about a week's leave at home? H

would that suit you?

>> Thank you, sir. I have my duty at the

front.

There's only one thing, however.

>> Yes. What is it? Maybe it's foolish of

me, but if I would have mercy on the

desert and put him in prison instead.

>> Corporal,

your profession is to save lives, even

the unworthy. Well, mine is to take it,

even the wealthy. I know that it is

insane to claim that we can throw back

the enemies that surround us. But in one

hour in front of the officers of my

division, I will claim just that. I'll

do so because it is my belief that at

all costs, we must fight to the bit.

That is a reason why now more than ever

I must maintain the discipline of my

division. And that is a reason why this

man must die.

Agulant,

give me some wine. Those pills, they

always make me thirsty.

>> Shall I bring you a glass of water, sir?

>> I hate water. This is from Echer,

the medic you sent me yesterday. Carp,

what's your name again?

>> Copper Steiner, sir.

>> Steiner. Carro Steiner. I want him

forwarded onto his unit by the first

available transportation.

>> That's what you wanted, isn't it?

>> Yes. Thank you, sir.

>> To our country.

>> To our country.

Heat up

quick. Yes, sir.

>> Everybody off the tracks. The bridge is

out. We have to cross them.

>> Come on, everybody out. Line up the

tunnel. Hurry up. Everybody out. We

cross and foot.

>> Everybody off the tracks. The bridge is

out. We'll have to cross and foot.

>> Come on. Everybody off. Line up and

come. Hurry up. Everybody up.

>> Everybody

can't see without them.

>> Get over there.

>> Here they are.

>> It was very kind of you to help me.

My name is Brand. Ants Brand. Most

people call me Ants. It's easier.

>> We better get going. We reload on the

other side. Hurry up. Everybody remember

the armies are coming. Take cover.

Please take cover.

Help

me.

Help me.

They could be. But you won't get away,

Styler. I know they know all about you

everywhere. We could have taken you a

long time ago, but I hoped that you

would lead me to the other. I wanted to

get all of you.

Heat.

Heat.

Heat up here.

[music]

Heat.

Heat.

The rest of the bridges were blown up

this morning. This seems to be the last

one in man.

>> I bet it won't be long before this one

goes too.

>> I heard the Americans are in land now.

>> So what are you afraid?

>> Better get your papers out. Here comes

another spot check.

>> Spot check. They'd better call it grave

registration. Today they take your name.

Tomorrow they notify your mother. Oh,

keep quiet.

All right.

Right.

>> Albert

Lna Ga

Billy

Shindler.

>> All right.

>> I lost them in an air attack this

morning. I'm on my way to my unit in

Art.

>> You lost them? Not a scratch on you,

huh? Take him back to the checkpoint.

We'll find out what happened to his

papers.

>> Yes, sir. Come on.

Call him outside. Ask them if we should

stop at traffic. Thanks.

>> Come on. Keep going.

>> B here.

>> You said they found an American leaflet

on you.

>> Yes. You'd think I committed a crime

that I was

>> No talking.

>> Here's the man.

>> What's your name?

>> I was told you lost your papers, huh?

>> Yes, sir.

>> You said your name is Carl Mara.

>> Yes, but justice.

>> I know. I know.

>> Get over there. Keep an eye on him.

>> Come on. Get back.

Thank you. Well, cut him off from the

other end of the bridge.

The Manheim Central Commodontour has

just received information that a man

suspected of being a dangerous enemy

sabotur. escaped a few hours ago from

the Vermachar control point at the main

Rine Bridge. He's wearing the uniform of

a corporal in a lufter. He is about 20

years of age. His appearance is slender,

average height, blonde, fair complexion.

As last seen, he wore a Red Cross

armband on his left arm, a pistol belt,

and boots. He identifies himself.

>> Hey, what are you doing there?

>> Hey, we are talking to you

>> of this man.

>> What's the matter? Are you there for

something? Come on. Let's see your

papers. Our

>> police station.

Come on. I'll hear you.

this way.

>> Where are the others? They went around

the front of the building.

>> Anyone there?

>> Must be here somewhere. Yes, I'm sure

it's on running this way. Lucky they

didn't hit this place during a show.

>> How about it? He's not here.

>> Go on, keep looking.

>> Hey, we better get out before the whole

place collapses.

>> Oh, watch it. The plast full of holes.

>> Hey, look what I found.

>> Where?

>> What is it?

>> Over here.

>> What are you doing there?

>> The fridge found this tree of clothes.

Looks like real stuff.

>> Remember, this used to be a theater. He

probably thought Ayena's legless or

something.

Here they come again. Let's get out of

here quick. Oh, come on. It's starting

again.

Heat.

Hey, heat. Hey, heat.

>> [music]

>> I'm sorry. I know I shouldn't be out,

but my child got hurt by flying glass. I

have to get some iodine. Don't turn me

in, please. Here, I have money.

>> Here, some iodine and bandages.

You better get off the street now.

>> Believe me, it's only because of my

child. You're not going to turn me in.

Please. You promise.

>> I promise. Don't be afraid. Go ahead

now.

>> God bless you.

>> That's just a moment. I'm looking for an

Akasha 18.

>> It's a second street to the right.

>> Thank you.

Hey, hey, hey.

Hey,

Tiger,

>> what are you doing here?

>> I had to come. They're after me.

>> They're after you? And you lead them

here, you idiot? Nobody follows me. I

promise you. There's a message that we

must send right away.

>> What is it?

>> I found the location of the 11th sponsor

court there.

>> Where are they?

>> I want to see Lieutenant Renick.

>> I'm not important enough for you. Huh?

>> Come on. Let's see it. Human

talk.

>> Who is it? Tiger,

>> I have a guest. Lieutenant, go ahead.

>> I know I'm not supposed to come here,

but I spent last night inside.

Where'd you get this address?

>> I heard Tiger give it to you on the

plane. I was trying to get across the R

when they nearly caught me. My name is

on the blacklist.

>> That helps a lot. Why'd you come here?

>> I have some very important information

to send.

>> I knew you had your radio. That's why I

came.

>> I'm afraid you're too late. We had a

near miss this morning. The concussion

damaged a transmitter. I haven't been

able to make contact since.

>> We will have to do something about him,

Lutheran. You know what will happen if

he falls into their hands.

>> He's all right. What's a word from

General Jagger? General Jerger and two

members of his staff were gravely

wounded this morning while on a routine

inspection tour of the front. Here you

can read it yourself.

We tried to contact the general at the

hospital in H Highleberg where he is or

is supposed to be. It was impossible.

>> Impossible why?

>> The hospital is under heav escards. No

one is allowed to enter without special

permission.

>> You mean to imply the whole story may be

a fake? We have often encountered us fix

this.

>> Well, what do you propose to do? What

about yourself and all the other

officers? You plan to carry out the

agreement?

>> I'm afraid without it, General. We have

no power over this troops. It's too much

of a risk. A great many lives are at

stake. Germans as well as Americans.

Isn't it worth taking the risk?

>> I'm sorry, but I can't. And I'm sure the

others feel as I do. The lives of our

families and our friends are involved.

>> Besides, now it's all too late. We

should have acted a long time ago.

>> But then it was too early. Sure, you

always wanted to get rid of them, but

you were never willing to take a chance

of the responsibility. Why? Because you

wanted to hang on to your ranks, your

titles, your jobs. And today, when you

could still save the most important

thing of all, your souls, you haven't

got the guts to do it. They're right to

call you traitors because you've

betrayed yourselves.

There's only one way I can answer you,

Lieutenant. It's all very easy for you

to say. You were never in our shoes.

>> That's true. I hope we never will be.

Okay.

>> What are you going to do, Lieutenant?

Get out of here fast before one of the

gentlemen starts to talk.

>> I guess it's all right. Nobody followed

him. Was the surrender plan for this

sector, Lieutenant?

>> Yeah. Why?

>> I spent last night at the headquarters

of 11th Panser. Two of the regiments

moved into position this morning here on

both flanks of General Diego's troops.

>> Looks like we're walking right into a

trap. We got to get back, Tiger, as

quick as we can. But how can we make it,

sir? You heard him. He nearly got caught

himself.

It must be the ramb.

I saw him placing the charges. There

goes our last chance.

>> Isn't there any other way to get across?

>> Sure. If you want to swim.

>> All right. What's the best place to try?

>> Swim? You're not serious. Every inch of

the shore is fortified. Even if we get

past tment, past your honor till the

fire, we freeze in the icy water. Maybe

we can try. One of us is sure to get

through.

>> Well, if you're so brave, why didn't you

do it before?

>> That's How do we know he didn't make the

whole thing up?

>> How do we know he's telling the truth?

>> Maybe he's just trying.

>> Shut up.

>> Get the extra travel orders out and the

date stamp. Now, go ahead, Abby. I want

you to brief us in every place you've

been, everything you've seen.

I have a sister-in-law who lives on the

third floor. From there, we can get a

good view of the river.

>> Okay, go ahead.

This is it.

>> My mother's here.

>> That's all right. We'll wait for her. Go

ahead.

>> Your uncle Rudolph found you.

>> That's right. My mother said she'd be

back in and out. But if you can't wait,

it's all right to go to God's house.

>> Thanks. Good.

>> If you're soldiers, why aren't you at

the front?

>> You just came from there. You we leave.

>> Why doesn't my father get leave? He

hasn't been home for a year.

>> We will talk about that later. C. Right

now, I want you to wait in there until

your mother comes back this way.

>> What was that about Gutrie?

>> He's a friend of mine. lives about a

mile from here. I made arrangements with

him in case we need a place to stay

over.

>> I thought we came here to decide on the

best spot to cross the river.

>> I've made up my mind. I'm not going.

>> What?

>> Sure, it's all right for you to take

that kind of a chance. But me and him,

when it's all over, our own people will

spit in our faces. And you, you will say

thank you and fly home.

>> Then why did you take this job? Why did

I join them in the first place?

>> Because I wanted to live a little

better, not to get killed. And if you

will be honest with yourself, you did it

for the same reason.

>> I did it because I wanted to help my

country.

>> And now more than ever, I'm sure that

what I did was right.

>> Well, isn't it noble of him? Who are you

fooling? Do you think anybody will

believe you?

>> It doesn't matter. I don't expect him

to. Besides, it isn't important. The

important thing is what we believe in.

>> Knock it at all, both of you.

>> Look, I don't care why you did it.

You're in this now. Neither one of you

is backing out. You better get that

through your head, Tiger. You know too

much to be left behind.

>> I didn't mean it that way.

You must have heard everything. The

little brat, you look downstairs. I will

see him hiding here.

>> You watch below. I look around on this

floor.

Just kill him. Let him go. Stop it.

Don't you see he's only a kid? Let him

go. I said

crazy.

>> Happy. Stop him quick.

Is reporting us.

on my left. Did you see that? They go to

the right.

They're coming around on this side.

Take cover here quick.

Hey, he's too many. Let's come with me.

>> I saw them, sir. I'm sure they must be

here. Clear of them.

>> All right. All right. We come in around

the back. We come in from this side. And

>> now you stay here.

>> But I want to go with you. Yes, sir.

You man, we're here. can you look

at that corner over there? By the way,

sir,

what happened? There's nothing over

here, sir. You can hardly see anything.

>> You know the ones in your left behind

those bricks.

There's nothing at the golf.

>> There's a staircase going down over

here.

What's the matter with you?

>> Nothing. Nothing.

>> You probably made the whole thing up,

Max. Right from the start. I suppose

you're all right. Oh, you mean? You

better get out of here.

>> Yes, sir.

>> All right, man. Everybody up this way.

>> Hey, Burger. Let's get going.

>> [music]

>> Get your hands together

the vehicle. Come on, let's get out of

here.

Hey, wake up. Tell you go.

Keep going. I said keep going.

See if we can get on the side here.

>> Tiger, you'll go first. Happy you

following. It's too tough to get all the

way across from the lake to the island.

>> What's the matter with you, Tiger? Get

ready.

Let's get out of here quick.

Hey, what was that?

Hey, down here.

My legs.

Hang on to me. I'm going to try to make

it to the island.

>> [screaming]

>> I had a cramp. I hope you're all right.

Looks like only a couple hundred feet to

the other shore. Think think you can

make it? I will try. I'm sure I just

take it easy for a minute

in case something happens to me.

>> Have you got everything straight?

>> I've got it all. Don't worry.

You remember the Vsburg target, sir?

That chemical plant they moved in from

East Prussia.

>> Is it very important?

Do you think they will bomb it?

>> Well, I hope so. Why?

I found out that my father was

transferred from the hospital in Berlin

and just and what

he's stationed in now.

The hospital is next to the factory.

You think you can make it now? I think

you can.

Come on.

Hey crow, take the second and third

platoon and spread them about 10 m apart

along this side

over the first platoon. Yes, sir. You

remain over here. Get the first shot

ready and get the exhausting. Get your

order, sir. And get the first platoon

ready quick. Right away, sir.

>> All men of second platoon, come with me.

>> We'll have to wait. He'll put down one

more strand. If the cramp starts again,

hang on to my shirt.

H.

Who's there? Come on. Come on.

>> Who's there? Come on. That one will

fire.

>> Go ahead.

I can't make it anyhow.

Stop fighting.

Stop fighting.

>> Get him. Get him quick. Hey, you over

there. Stop him. Don't let him get away.

>> Who are you? What are you doing here?

Are you going to talk or not?

10 seconds to make up your mind.

Hey, there's someone moving out there.

>> Off you snack it up.

>> Hold your fire. Sounds like one of our

guys. What's he doing out there? Beats

me. Just keep him covered.

21st and fifth Panzer. That's right.

They moved into Manheim yesterday. One

regiment along the southern boundary

near Nicarand, the other about 3 km

north of there. WM1967

on the Darnstat Manheim sheet. Okay.

Yes. I'll send the detail report over

within an hour. What? They must have

been asleep at the switch up there.

Well, anyway, it's good news. All right,

bye. First Army beat us to it again.

They found a bridge the Germans forgot

to blow at Rogan and they're pouring

into Germany like an army day parade.

>> I'd be happy to give Berlin to the first

of it. Get me home sooner.

>> Good news. All right.

>> Oh, fine, sir.

>> The cigarette, Pete?

>> Look, I know how you feel. There isn't

much you can do about it. Kidike happy.

Even if he came through it alive, the

traitor's always a traitor, no matter

what his reasons are. We didn't hesitate

about using them.

>> In a war to save lives, you use whoever

you can. Trouble is, you always lose the

best ones cuz it's always the best ones

who are willing to take a chance.

>> You better get some rest. It'll do you

good. See, get me Cadet Ford.

>> Yes, sir.

>> Come on, you hero. Straighten up. You

ought to be grateful you're alive.

>> Don't worry. I am.

>> Cadet forward. Hold on just a minute,

please.

>> Yes, sir. I'm

>> saying I'm the old man. Prep and take

Lieutenant Renick to the common.

>> Yes, sir.

>> I'll get in the side. Take it easy for a

while.

>> I will, Pete.

>> I'll see you later. You're glad to have

you back, Lieutenant.

>> Thanks.

>> Hey, you better put this on.

>> You're pretty lucky, sir. Too bad about

the kid,

>> huh?

>> I mean, happy.

>> Yeah.

>> Well, I guess no good thinking about it.

After all, he was just another crowd.

>> [music]

>> A man stays alive as long as he's

remembered and is killed only by

forgetfulness.

So long, Happy.

Let your real name remain unknown, but

let the memory of your sacrifice serve

as a key [music] to the meanings of

treason.

It was to me.
