When you wage a war, you must be sure of one thing: 509 00:56:57,629 --> 00:57:03,840 The objective must justify the casualties. Otherwise, you can't command. 510 00:57:10,759 --> 00:57:13,301 The distance, keep your fucking distance! 511 00:57:13,781 --> 00:57:14,906 Sir, sir! 512 00:57:18,136 --> 00:57:24,637 A village.

Congratualtions! 521 00:58:33,038 --> 00:58:37,519 No... I'm going to explain: the civilians thought we were Viets. That's why they fled... 522 00:58:37,525 --> 00:58:41,212 They'll think the Viets have done the looting... that's a good thing, no? 523 00:58:41,213 --> 00:58:46,964 You're very smart Willsdorf, very smart...

Deserted! 544 01:00:32,539 --> 01:00:38,206 The captain said: every empty village was to be flagged as rebel... and had to be burned 545 01:00:38,207 --> 01:00:42,187 Finally, a rebel village! We set the fire joyfully... 546 01:00:42,188 --> 01:00:46,250 It's just that ...You know, burning bamboo crackles like a machine gun! 547 01:00:46,251 --> 01:00:51,835 Less than 5 minutes later, the civilians rush in, yelling like a thousand devils! 548 01:00:51,836 --> 01:00:56,922 No luck...

It's impossible to reach Kra-Tsie. 662 01:14:28,606 --> 01:14:31,585 We can only escape towards the north-east 663 01:14:31,586 --> 01:14:35,191 We can join the Montagnard villagers. They are organized for guerrilla warfare. 664 01:14:35,648 --> 01:14:40,233 That was our goal with Koot until we arrived in the village where you took the elephants 665 01:14:40,649 --> 01:14:45,172 That's the tiger meaning: telling Delpierre we go north-east 666 01:14:46,047 --> 01:14:47,811 What's the deal with this tiger? 667 01:14:47,819 --> 01:14:50,936 Last year, during a patrol, Koot killed a tiger with his MG 668 01:14:50,937 --> 01:14:53,792 We gave the skin to Delpierre, who sent it to his wife 669 01:14:53,795 --> 01:14:56,317 Because of the holes, she couldn't make a coat with this skin, 670 01:14:56,322 --> 01:14:58,176 So, what did she do?
