00:00:04,679 --> 00:00:09,320
50,000 men on this island would
like to shoot that son of a bitch.

2
00:00:43,119 --> 00:00:46,320
Please take me home.
Take me home.

3
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,719
Please take me home.
Take me home.

00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:17,480
-There he goes, "Old Blood and Guts. "
-Yeah, our blood. His guts.

5
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:25,920
Hi, how are you, son?

6
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,200
Where are you from, Gomez?

7
00:01:36,519 --> 00:01:38,359
California, sir.

8
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,120
Me too.

9
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,319
-Where were you hit?
-In the chest, sir.

10
00:01:44,879 --> 00:01:46,120
Well. . .

11
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:51,480
. . .this might be interesting to you.
The last German I saw had no chest.

12
00:01:51,959 --> 00:01:53,719
Didn't have any head either.

13
00:01:55,719 --> 00:01:57,519
You get well quickly, son.

16
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,120
What's the matter with you?

17
00:03:54,919 --> 00:03:57,719
I guess I just can't take it, sir.

18
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:02,919
What did you say?

19
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,120
It's my nerves, sir.

20
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,319
I just can't stand
the shelling anymore.

21
00:04:14,759 --> 00:04:16,519
Your nerves?

22
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,120
Hell, you're just a goddamn coward.

23
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:24,720
Shut up!

24
00:04:26,879 --> 00:04:29,120
I won't have
a yellow bastard crying. . .

25
00:04:29,519 --> 00:04:31,720
. . .in front of these
brave, wounded men.

26
00:04:34,959 --> 00:04:36,319
Shut up!

27
00:04:38,959 --> 00:04:42,519
Don't admit this yellow bastard.
Nothing wrong with him.

28
00:04:42,759 --> 00:04:47,279
I won't have sons of bitches afraid to
fight stink up this place of honor.

29
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,319
You're going back to the front,
my friend.

30
00:04:50,519 --> 00:04:55,000
You may get shot, you may get killed,
but you're going up to the fighting.

31
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,959
Either that or I'll stand you up
in front of a firing squad.

32
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,319
I should shoot you myself,
you bastard! Get him out of here!

33
00:05:05,519 --> 00:05:06,920
Send him up to the front!

34
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:11,120
You hear me? You goddamn coward!

35
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,920
I won't have cowards in my army.

36
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:52,600
I had to kick a few butts. . .

37
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,839
. . .but Truscott finally broke through
to those people on the beach.

38
00:05:57,079 --> 00:05:59,120
Have you seen the casualty lists?

39
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:01,319
Yes, I've seen them.

40
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:03,800
What's the word from the coast road?

41
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,759
The 3rd Division's east of Brolo,
heading toward Messina.

42
00:06:06,959 --> 00:06:10,279
Let's get over there.
I want to go in with the troops.

43
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,319
You go ahead, George.
I'm not very good at that.

44
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:16,519
General Bradley. . .

45
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,079
. . .it's time to consider how many
casualties we'd have. . .

46
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,519
. . .if we were still crawling on
that goddamn road.

47
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,519
Forward, march!

48
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,040
Don't smirk, Patton.
I shan't kiss you.

49
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:14,079
Pity. I shaved close this morning
to prepare for getting smacked by you.

50
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,319
Forward, march!

51
00:08:57,759 --> 00:08:59,720
You wanted to see me, George?

52
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,120
Got a letter here from Ike.

53
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,519
I was rereading Caesar's
Commentaries last night.

54
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:22,679
In battle, Caesar wore a red robe to
distinguish him from his men.

55
00:09:22,879 --> 00:09:25,320
I was struck by that fact because--

56
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,519
"Despicable. " First time anybody's
ever applied that word to me.

57
00:09:31,799 --> 00:09:35,919
Well, at least it's a personal
reprimand, it's not official.

58
00:09:36,159 --> 00:09:39,519
The man was yellow. He should've
been tried for cowardice and shot.

59
00:09:39,759 --> 00:09:43,960
People have taken a lot worse
than a little kick in the pants.

60
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,519
I ruffled his pride a bit.
What's that compared to war?

61
00:09:48,159 --> 00:09:52,080
Two weeks ago at Palermo they said
I was the greatest general. . .

62
00:09:52,279 --> 00:09:56,480
-. . .since Stonewall Jackson.
-Now they draw cartoons about you.

63
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,519
Dirty bastard!

64
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,919
They got me holding a little Gl
and kicking him with an iron boot.

65
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,519
You see that, what's on my boot?
A swastika.

66
00:10:05,759 --> 00:10:08,919
On my boot.
An iron boot with a swastika!

67
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,519

you slapped. . .

But those that seek my soul
to destroy it...

...shall go into the lower parts
of the earth.

They shall fall by the sword.

But the king shall rejoice in God.

Everyone that sweareth by him

91
00:12:02,519 --> 00:12:05,720

and let you people see. . .

92
00:12:07,519 --> 00:12:11,519
. . .if I am as big a son of a bitch
as some of you think I am.

93
00:12:16,159 --> 00:12:18,720
I assure you I had no intention. . .

94
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:23,320
. . .of being either harsh or cruel
in my treatment of the. . .

. . .soldier in question.

96
00:12:30,279 --> 00:12:32,759
My sole purpose was to try
to restore in him. . .

97
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,919
. . .some appreciation of his
obligations as a man. . .

98

lf one can shame a coward. . .

100
00:12:44,759 --> 00:12:48,919
. . .I felt one might help him
to regain his self-respect.

101
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:52,879
This was on my mind.

102
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,519
Now, I freely admit. . .

103
00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,720
. . .that my method was wrong. . .

104
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,759

-Ten-hut!

110
00:13:25,759 --> 00:13:29,519
Good evening, general. I want to
report on a private poll I'm taking.

111
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:30,720
What poll?

112
00:13:30,919 --> 00:13:32,039
The fan mail.

113
00:13:32,279 --> 00:13:34,960
Eleven percent con,
89 percent pro.

114
00:13:35,159 --> 00:13:39,519
And that 11 % of protest, in most
cases, is both obscene and anonymous.

115
00:13:39,759 --> 00:13:43,320
But the pro letters are mostly from
relatives and servicemen.

116
00:13:43,519 --> 00:13:46,919
"I want you to know we're proud
our son is serving in your army.

117
00:13:47,159 --> 00:13:50,679
From the newspaper, we're not clear
exactly what you did and why. . .

118
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,480
. . .but we want you to know
we're for you.

119
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:55,440
Keep going, and God bless you. "

120
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:57,759
Keep going, huh?

121
00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:59,320
Where?

122
00:14:02,919 --> 00:14:07,039
I thought you might like a sip
of wine, general. It's New Year's.

123
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,320
You didn't celebrate at all
last night.

129
00:14:36,279 --> 00:14:37,639
I've been relieved.

130
00:14:39,919 --> 00:14:42,720
They've relieved me from command
of the 7th Army.

131
00:14:43,519 --> 00:14:45,320
I don't believe it.

132
00:14:48,159 --> 00:14:49,159
Happy New Year.

133
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:56,919
Just a minute, sir.

134
00:14:57,759 --> 00:15:00,360
Since they're sure to give you
another command. . .

135
00:15:00,559 --> 00:15:03,919
. . .isn't it logical they'd
relieve you here first?

136
00:15:05,039 --> 00:15:08,159
You mean command of all American
troops going into Europe?

137
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,799
It's possible. I know it's been
discussed from time to time.

138
00:15:12,039 --> 00:15:16,320
The logic of it is so obvious,
it couldn't mean anything else.

139
00:15:17,759 --> 00:15:22,120
Sir, I'm going to open
this bottle of wine.

140
00:15:22,519 --> 00:15:23,840
No, Sir Cod. . .

141
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,519
. . .but if you find a bottle of cognac,
I'll help you drink it.

142
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:38,159
-How you feeling tonight, general?
-Not bad, not bad at all.

143
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,320
-Get me some writing paper, will you?
-Yes, sir.

144
00:15:42,039 --> 00:15:44,720
Your wife ever give you the devil
for not writing?

145
00:15:44,919 --> 00:15:46,279
All the time, sir.

146
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:50,320
Only I don't write as often as you
do. Don't seem to get around to it.

147

every time I come home, sir.

150
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:02,440
Why are you up so late, George?

151
00:16:02,639 --> 00:16:05,240
Thought you'd like a nice hot bath
or something.

152
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,320
I got this sleeping pill from the doc,
just in case you need it.

00:16:17,559 --> 00:16:19,120

154
00:16:19,639 --> 00:16:22,559
-What's going on here?
-I heard the news, sir.

155
00:16:22,759 --> 00:16:25,919
-They announced it on the radio.
-What news?

156
00:16:26,759 --> 00:16:31,120
About General Bradley, sir. How they
gave him the top American command.

157
00:16:32,879 --> 00:16:34,120
Oh.

158
00:16:35,279 --> 00:16:36,519
Oh, yeah.

159
00:16:38,799 --> 00:16:41,919
I just thought you might be
feeling kind of low, sir.

160
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,120
Your writing things, sir.
Here on the desk, sir.

161
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,279
Yeah. Thank you, George.

00:17:06,599 --> 00:17:07,920

163
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,440
One measly little slap.
That's what done it.

00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:15,920
Ah, George.

And to the people of the Resistance. . .

6
00:20:40,039 --> 00:20:42,920
. . .who risk their lives
to help destroy the Germans.

7
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,480
"France will be free again.
I give you my word. "

8
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,599
"Just as Free French troops liberated
Corsica, Napoleon's place of birth. . .

9
00:21:22,839 --> 00:21:27,000
. . .I will someday land in France to
liberate the birthplace of Lafayette. "

10
00:21:30,839 --> 00:21:34,000
General, the reporters would like
a word with you.

11
00:21:36,799 --> 00:21:38,640
-Good afternoon.
-General.

12
00:21:38,839 --> 00:21:41,759
Can you tell us the purpose
of this visit to Corsica?

13
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:43,720
General Eisenhower ordered me here.

14
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:48,119
You wrote the mother of the boy you
slapped, "The rat should've been shot. "

15
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,599
-Is that true, general?
-No comment.

16
00:21:50,799 --> 00:21:53,200
Sir, I understand
Gen. Alexander suggested. . .

17
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,240
. . .you take over Gen. Clark's
Italian campaign. . .

18
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,640
. . .but it was killed
due to the incident.

19
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,799
-No comment.
-Can you say where you're going, sir?

20
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,720
Off the record,
Eisenhower's ordered me to Malta.

21
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:06,000
Interview concluded.

22
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,839
You plan on slapping
any soldiers there, general?

23
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:41,240

were defended by. . .

24
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:46,119

and 800 mercenaries. . .

25
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:50,599

27
00:22:55,279 --> 00:22:58,200
-Still no word from Gen. Eisenhower?
-No, sir.

28
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:02,200
Not even a response about
the two turkeys I sent for Christmas?

29
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:03,799
No, sir.

30
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:08,000
Go ahead, gentlemen.
Take a closer look for yourselves.

31
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:15,400
Looks like you boys have hitched
your wagon to a falling star.

32
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,319
Pass the word.
If anyone wants out, I'll understand.

33
00:23:19,519 --> 00:23:23,000
Sir, I can speak for the entire staff.

34
00:23:23,559 --> 00:23:27,599
We want to stay with you, no matter
what duty you're assigned to.

35
00:23:31,079 --> 00:23:34,200
Up in London, they're planning
the invasion of Europe.

36
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,799
I've trained my mind,
body and spirit for that.

37
00:23:39,039 --> 00:23:41,400
What, in God's name, am I doing here?

38
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,000
All right.

39
00:23:45,279 --> 00:23:47,200
Let's get on to Cairo.

40
00:23:47,839 --> 00:23:50,200
See if the pyramids
are still standing.

41
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,599
-This place is for me?
-Yes, sir. This way, sir.

42
00:25:12,839 --> 00:25:15,799
Whoever found it has a genius
for cloak and dagger.

43
00:25:33,079 --> 00:25:34,640
Who picked this cathouse?

44
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:36,680
I think it was Gen. Smith, sir.

45
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:38,799
To spite me, that son of a bitch.

46
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,640
-Welcome to London, Georgie.
-Bedell. How are you?

47
00:25:42,839 --> 00:25:45,000
-Is Ike here?
-He asked me to brief you.

48
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,000
Would you excuse us, please?

49
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,200
Let me put you straight about Ike.

50
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,599
We hear a lot about you
criticizing his decisions.

51
00:25:54,839 --> 00:25:57,759
Not really. You know me.
I'm just an old fool.

52
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,960
At times, I do wonder whether
he isn't a limey at heart.

53
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,799
George, this is the toughest coalition
ever attempted in history.

54
00:26:05,039 --> 00:26:09,000
Ike's trying to hold it together
and lick the Germans at the same time.

55
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,200
-It's a hell of a job.
-I understand.

56
00:26:11,799 --> 00:26:15,599
You have an important assignment
connected to the Normandy invasion.

57
00:26:15,799 --> 00:26:19,880
Good. I've studied the Overlord Plan
and there's a number of flaws in it.

58
00:26:20,079 --> 00:26:24,640
You can't depend on Monty taking
Cannes by D-day. He'll never make it.

59
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,839
I've drawn up an alternate plan
to land at Calais. . .

60
00:26:28,079 --> 00:26:32,200
-. . .following an air bombardment--
-Will you just listen for a change?

61
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,039
Ike stood by you when everyone,
I mean everyone. . .

62
00:26:35,279 --> 00:26:37,799
. . .wanted Patton
with a rope around his neck.

63
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:46,799
We're gonna let it leak out
that you are here undercover.

64
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,000
That you're preparing to invade
at the Pas de Calais.

65
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,720
We hope to pin down
the German 1 5th Army there. . .

66
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,680
. . .so that they can't be used
against us at Normandy.

67
00:26:56,039 --> 00:26:57,759
Is that all I'm good for?

68
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:02,000
We're going to build an army
of 1 2 divisions around you.

69
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,200
All fictitious, of course.

70
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,200
Dummy troop concentrations,
dummy landing craft. . .

71
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,599
. . .simulated radio traffic.

72
00:27:09,799 --> 00:27:14,240
The Germans are convinced that you
will lead the main invasion effort.

73
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:16,480
Their agents will spot you soon. . .

74
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,200
. . .then we can move you to Knutsford.

75
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,559
-What do I do there?
-Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

76
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,599
Frankly, George, you're on probation.

77
00:27:26,799 --> 00:27:28,799
Take my advice and behave yourself.

78
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:30,400
Remember. . .

79
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,599
. . .your worst enemy
is your own big mouth.

Look at this nasty-faced
son of a bitch. Ready for combat.

82
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,799
I'll call him William
as in "the Conqueror. "

83
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,920
-Sir, should we leave him in the car?
-No. Good afternoon, ladies.

84
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:38,799
Good afternoon.

00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,000
Watch this, Cod.

87
00:28:45,279 --> 00:28:47,640
-Sir, he'll kill that dog.
-I'll hold him.

88
00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:00,400
I'm terribly sorry, general.
Did Abigail frighten your dog?

00:29:01,759 --> 00:29:03,599
That's quite all right, madam.

This way, sir.

91
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:09,400
Your name isn't William.

It's Willie.

WOMAN:
My dear friends.

94
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:20,519
General George S. Patton, Jr.,
has accepted our invitation. . .

95
00:29:20,759 --> 00:29:22,240
. . .to say a few words to you. . .

96
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,119
. . .on the occasion
of this inaugural ceremony.

97
00:29:30,599 --> 00:29:34,119
General Patton is not here
in an official capacity. . .

98
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,839
. . .and I have assured him
most earnestly. . .

99
00:29:37,079 --> 00:29:39,400
. . .that nothing he says
will be quoted.

100
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,599
May I present General Patton.

101
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,720
-Remember, sir, watch your language.
-Yeah.

102
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:00,799
My dear ladies.

103
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,200
Until today. . .

104
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:08,359
. . .my only experience
at welcoming has been. . .

105
00:30:08,599 --> 00:30:13,519
. . .to welcome Germans and Italians
to the infernal region.

106
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,440
At this I have been
quite successful. . .

107
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,680
. . .since the troops, which I have had
the honor to command. . .

108
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,400
. . .have, to date, killed or captured. . .

109
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:27,079
. . .some 1 70,000 of our enemies.

110
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:40,400
I feel that such clubs as these
are of very real value. . .

111
00:30:40,759 --> 00:30:43,480
. . .because I believe
with Mr. Bernard Shaw. . .

112
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:47,240
. . .that the British and the Americans
are two peoples. . .

113
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:51,000
. . .separated by a common language.

114
00:30:53,559 --> 00:30:58,400
Since it is the destiny of the British
and Americans to rule the world. . .

115
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:01,799
. . .the better we know each other. . .

116
00:31:02,039 --> 00:31:03,799
. . .the better we will do it.

117
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,400
The Russians,
don't forget the Russians.

118
00:31:07,799 --> 00:31:09,440
I think that a club like this. . .

119
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:13,000
. . .is an ideal place
for promoting mutual understanding.

120
00:31:13,799 --> 00:31:19,000
Because as soon as our soldiers meet
and get to know the English ladies. . .

121
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:24,599
. . .and write home and tell our women
just how lovely you truly are. . .

122
00:31:29,079 --> 00:31:31,920
. . .then the sooner the American ladies
will get jealous. . .

123
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,960
. . .and force this war
to a quick termination.

124
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:43,599
And then I'll get the chance to go
to the Pacific and kill Japanese.

125
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:02,839
NARRATOR:
All over the nation...

126
00:32:03,079 --> 00:32:06,880
...mass meetings are held to protest
General Patton 's statement...

127
00:32:07,119 --> 00:32:09,799
... that Britain and America
will rule the post war world.

128
00:32:10,039 --> 00:32:11,880
That Russia will have no say.

129
00:32:12,079 --> 00:32:16,200
Congressional leaders like Senator
Clayburn Foss are quick to react.

130
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,039
This man has insulted
our Russian allies...

131
00:32:19,279 --> 00:32:22,039
...implying Anglo-American world rule.

132
00:32:22,279 --> 00:32:25,240
In my opinion, he should be
severely disciplined.

133
00:32:25,559 --> 00:32:27,440
This time I didn't do a damn thing.

134
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,240
They promised there
wouldn't be any reporters.

135
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:32,640
I made a few remarks off the record.

136
00:32:32,839 --> 00:32:35,200
Ike told you to keep your mouth shut.

137
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:39,079
You know how suspicious the Russians
are of the British and us.

138
00:32:39,279 --> 00:32:42,440
I was only trying to be polite
to the old ladies.

139
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:47,880
lf I'd seen the Russians there, I'd
have mentioned the sons of bitches.

140
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:51,039
Bedell, I don't know
anything about politics.

141
00:32:51,279 --> 00:32:53,119
I have no political ambitions.

142
00:32:53,359 --> 00:32:56,240
All I want to do is
to command an army in combat.

143
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:58,440
Well, it's out of our hands now.

144
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,839
Ike sent a message last night
to the chief of staff.

145
00:33:02,079 --> 00:33:07,039
Now it's up to General Marshall
whether you stay here as a decoy. . .

146
00:33:07,279 --> 00:33:09,200
. . .or he sends you home.

147
00:33:11,599 --> 00:33:13,200
He's a good man.

148
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:15,799
At least he's a fair man.

149
00:33:16,279 --> 00:33:18,000
I'll let it sit with him.

150
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:33,799
PATTON:

151
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,200
. . .our war is over.

152
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:38,599
Over, sir?

153
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,400
It's just a question of waiting
for the orders now.

154
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:51,400
I feel I'm. . . .

155
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:57,200
I'm destined to achieve some
great thing. What, I don't know.

156
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:02,799
But this last incident is. . .

157
00:34:03,559 --> 00:34:07,400
. . .so trivial in its nature
and so terrible in its effect--

158
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,400
It can't be an accident.
It has to be the work of God.

159
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:13,599
Yes, sir.

160
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,679
The last great opportunity
of a lifetime. . .

161
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:21,199
. . .an entire world at war
and I'm left out of it?

162
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:22,760
No, sir.

163
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:24,960
God will not permit this to happen!

164
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:29,800
I am going to be allowed
to fulfil my destiny!

165
00:34:34,559 --> 00:34:36,400
His will be done.

166
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:51,880
NARRATOR: In the greatest amphibious
operation ever attempted...

167
00:34:52,079 --> 00:34:54,679
...a predawn naval bombardment
prepares the way...

168
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,800
...for allied soldiers to assault
the Normandy beaches...

169
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:01,440
...and claw out a desperate foothold
on the continent of Europe.

170
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:21,000
I knew Montgomery couldn't take Caen
on D-day or D-plus-1 0. And I said so.

171
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:25,000
And here they are all hung up
in the hedgerow country.

172
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:29,199
They should pivot the way von
Schlieffen planned it in World War I.

173
00:35:30,079 --> 00:35:33,599
Then we might get a chance to do
some real broken field running.

174
00:35:34,559 --> 00:35:36,400
But they don't listen to me.

175
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,840
What a way to enter
the continent of Europe.

176
00:35:42,079 --> 00:35:44,400
Along with all the rest
of the spare parts.

177
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,599
Sir, everything on this plane
is high priority.

178
00:35:48,679 --> 00:35:52,320
Gen. Bradley wouldn't send for you
unless he had something in mind.

179
00:35:52,519 --> 00:35:56,000
I'll tell you, Cod.
I've learned my lesson.

180
00:35:56,599 --> 00:36:00,000
lf I ever do get another chance,
I'm gonna keep my mouth shut.

181
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:03,599
I'm gonna play the game.

182
00:36:04,039 --> 00:36:06,000
lf I forget, you remind me.

183
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:10,920
-I'll give a gentle nudge in the ribs.
-Give me a swift kick in the ass.

184
00:36:11,679 --> 00:36:12,920
Yes, sir.

185
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:35,320
Welcome to France, sir.

186
00:36:35,519 --> 00:36:37,880
Hope the war's still on.
Where's the boss?

187
00:36:38,079 --> 00:36:39,280
Right this way, sir.

188
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,400
Patton, haven't seen you
since Messina.

189
00:37:18,599 --> 00:37:19,599
How are you?

190
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,440
You're doing a splendid job
decoying the Jerries.

191
00:37:22,639 --> 00:37:25,079
You'll forgive me,
I'm off to the front.

192
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,000
Best of everything, old boy.

193
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:32,400
By the way. . .

194
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:36,159
. . .intelligence confirms
that I'm against Rommel again.

195
00:37:40,679 --> 00:37:42,000
Rommel.

196
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:45,280
Hi, how are you, George?

197
00:37:46,159 --> 00:37:49,400
-Pretty fair, Brad. How are you?
-Fine.

198
00:37:53,079 --> 00:37:55,199
Well. My, my.

199
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:57,039
Isn't this plush?

200
00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:00,119
Looks like you're
bucking for archbishop.

201
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:03,480
Chet Hansen had this rig built for me.
George, sit down.

202
00:38:04,039 --> 00:38:07,840
Ike wanted me to talk to you
since we can level with each other.

203
00:38:08,079 --> 00:38:09,199
That's right.

204
00:38:10,039 --> 00:38:13,800
We're making 3rd Army operational
when I take over 12th Army group.

205
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:15,400
Do I get it?

206
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:17,599
I'll be honest with you.

207
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:19,440
I've had reservations.

208
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:23,199
You've been my senior ever since
I left the academy.

209
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:27,199
You were the boss in North Africa
and Sicily and I just thought. . .

210
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,519
. . .well, it might be a problem for us.

211
00:38:31,039 --> 00:38:32,599
It wouldn't bother me.

212
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:34,719
There's one other thing.

213
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:36,840
We're different kinds of people.

214
00:38:37,079 --> 00:38:39,800
Goddamn it, Brad, you're always right.

215
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:44,320
With your brains and my screwy ideas,
we make a great team, like in Sicily.

216
00:38:44,679 --> 00:38:48,800
Truthfully, if I had been your senior
in Sicily, I would have relieved you.

217
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:52,400
Brad. . .

218
00:38:54,079 --> 00:38:56,679
. . .I'm not crawling on my belly
to get a command.

219
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,400
For God's sake, get me in this fight.

220
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:04,280
The only way out of the doghouse
is to do something great.

221
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:06,079
I gotta get back in the war!

222
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:09,360
Hitler's own people tried
to kill him a few days ago.

223
00:39:09,559 --> 00:39:11,800
First thing you know,
it'll be over and. . . .

224
00:39:15,039 --> 00:39:16,199
I'll. . .

225
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:21,199
. . .keep my mouth shut.
I'll behave myself.

226
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:25,599
I give you my word.

227
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:30,599
George. . .

228
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:33,800
. . .I've been working
on a plan called Cobra.

229
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:35,960
I'd like your opinion.

230
00:39:36,159 --> 00:39:38,480
We've been slugging through
hedgerow country. . .

231
00:39:38,679 --> 00:39:41,719
. . .half an acre a day
and we've got to find a way out.

232
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:43,440
I want to use this road.

233
00:39:43,639 --> 00:39:45,360
The Saint L�-Periers road.

234
00:39:45,559 --> 00:39:48,159
Monty will pin down
the enemy forces at Caen.

235
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:51,880
We'll pulverize an area
3 1 /2 miles wide with bombing.

236
00:39:52,079 --> 00:39:54,000
Then seven divisions will follow.

237
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:59,199
The 3rd Army will swing around here, a
sweeping end run right across France.

238
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:01,159
What do you think?

239
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:07,599
I think you'll need a screwball old
cavalryman to command the 3rd Army.

240
00:40:08,639 --> 00:40:10,199
George. . .

241
00:40:12,199 --> 00:40:16,800
. . .Ike came to that conclusion
in London three months ago.

242
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:18,599
He what?

243
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:23,440
Why, that dirty--!
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

244
00:40:23,679 --> 00:40:25,599
I promise to keep my mouth shut.

245
00:40:26,679 --> 00:40:29,840
(SPEAKING IN GERMAN)

246
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:20,400
George could have the courtesy
to tell us where he's going.

247
00:42:33,039 --> 00:42:36,480
Good God, look at that.
Where you going, general?

248
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:37,840
Berlin.

249
00:42:38,079 --> 00:42:41,800
I'm going to personally shoot
that paper-hanging son of a bitch.

250
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,800
(CHEERING)

251
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:24,800
Hold it. Hold it!

252
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:27,199
This place isn't on the map.

253
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:30,199
You know why?
We've run clear off the map.

254
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:43,920
Give George a headline,
and he's good for another 30 miles.

255
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:18,639
(HONKING)

256
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:42,800
SOLDIER:
Atten-hut!

257
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:45,000
Hold it!

258
00:44:49,079 --> 00:44:52,599
Pay attention. We're gonna clean
this mess up right now.

259
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:56,400
Let's move this vehicle out this way.
This one out this way.

260
00:44:56,599 --> 00:44:59,400
Back that thing up there,
and we'll take this one here.

261
00:44:59,599 --> 00:45:02,000
All right, get up off your ass.
Let's go now!

262
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:15,039
That's it.
That's the way to move.

263
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:18,000
Good boy. All right, come on.

264
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:21,360
Come on, now. Here we go. Come on.
That's it!

265
00:45:21,559 --> 00:45:23,400
That's it! Gun it!

266
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:25,800
Gun that thing!

267
00:45:26,079 --> 00:45:27,800
Okay, come on.

268
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:30,599
Watch it!

269
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:33,599
Go, go, go! Come on.
Hold it up.

270
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:36,000
Come on, baby. Yeah, yeah.
Come on.

271
00:45:37,079 --> 00:45:38,599
That's it.

272
00:45:39,199 --> 00:45:40,599
Come on, now.

273
00:45:43,079 --> 00:45:45,000
-Chet.
-Yeah, will do.

274
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:51,280
Come on, keep coming. Keep coming.
Hold it up there.

275
00:45:54,039 --> 00:45:55,440
Now come on! Hold it!

276
00:45:55,679 --> 00:45:58,800
Hey, dummy, hold the fricking tank!

277
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:05,239
That's it. Come on.

278
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:06,800
Good boy.

279
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:11,039
-Hold it up there.
-General!

280
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:13,519
General Bradley wants to have
a word with you.

281
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:16,519
Okay. Come on!

282
00:46:17,639 --> 00:46:21,800
Okay. Hold it up. Take over.

283
00:46:29,039 --> 00:46:31,599
George, you'd make a good traffic cop.

284
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:35,800
George this drive has been
magnificent. . .

285
00:46:36,039 --> 00:46:38,800
. . .but I'm sorry to say
I have to slow you down.

286
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:43,000
-What the hell for?
-We'll have to cut off your supplies.

287
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:46,880
Gasoline, ammunition, everything.
We're up against new priorities.

288
00:46:47,119 --> 00:46:50,599
-I think I smell Montgomery.
-Take it easy, George.

289
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:53,719
There are serious issues involved.
Political issues.

290
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:55,719
By God, it is Montgomery.

291
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:59,719
The launching sites for the B-2 bombs
are all in his area.

292
00:46:59,960 --> 00:47:01,920
Churchill wants those bases destroyed.

293
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:05,400
Hitler kills more civilians
in London than soldiers.

294
00:47:05,599 --> 00:47:07,239
Expect Montgomery to do anything?

295
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:11,519
You give me gasoline and I'll gain
ground with it, kill Germans too.

296
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:13,599
Give me 400,000 gallons.
I'll go to Berlin.

297
00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:15,400
George, I can't do it.

298
00:47:15,639 --> 00:47:17,480
The Siegfried line
is an empty shell.

299
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:19,800
They stripped the equipment
and sent it east.

300
00:47:20,039 --> 00:47:22,719
It's crawling with cows.
I can punch through in two days.

301
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:25,840
There's no use in arguing with me.
It wasn't my idea.

302
00:47:26,039 --> 00:47:28,000
Why did you pick me to command?

303
00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:30,199
I didn't pick you.

304
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:33,400
Ike picked you.

305
00:47:36,639 --> 00:47:39,000
George, you have performed
brilliantly.

306
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:41,039
You are loyal, dedicated.

307
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:44,000
You're one of the best I've got,
but you don't know when to shut up.

308
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:47,800
George, you're a pain in the neck.

309
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:53,519
I have a lot of faults, Brad.

310
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:56,119
But ingratitude isn't one of them.

311
00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:57,800
I owe you a lot.

312
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:02,400
Hell, I know I'm a prima donna.
I admit it.

313
00:48:02,679 --> 00:48:05,800
What I can't stand about Monty is,
he won't admit it.

314
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:19,719
(TANK SPUTTERS)

315
00:48:30,159 --> 00:48:33,239
Captain, the Bailey's run out of gas.

316
00:48:33,679 --> 00:48:35,400
The point tank has run out too.

317
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:39,199
And there's a kraut column up ahead.

318
00:48:39,599 --> 00:48:41,000
Yeah, I know.

319
00:50:38,159 --> 00:50:40,000
PATTON:
Were you in command here, captain?

320
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:42,480
I was in command.

321
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:47,119
My tank platoon was supporting
an infantry company.

322
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:52,000
Tanks ran out of gas,
so we had to fight it out.

323
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:56,000
We started 1 1 :00 last night.

324
00:50:57,360 --> 00:50:59,400
Finished a couple hours ago.

325
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:05,800
This morning the fighting
was hand-to-hand.

326
00:51:52,199 --> 00:51:54,000
I had a dream last night.

327
00:51:56,119 --> 00:51:59,199
In my dream it came to me. . .

328
00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:02,599
. . .that right now the whole Nazi Reich
is mine for the taking.

329
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:07,000
Think about that, Cod.
I was nearly sent home in disgrace.

330
00:52:07,679 --> 00:52:10,199
Now I have precisely
the right instrument. . .

331
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:15,000
. . .at precisely the right moment of
history and exactly the right place.

332
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:16,559
The Saar?

333
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:18,800
This will change too, very quickly.

334
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:21,519
Like a planet spinning off
into the universe.

335
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:24,480
A moment like this won't come again
for 1 000 years.

336
00:52:24,679 --> 00:52:27,400
All I need is a few
miserable gallons of gasoline.

337
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:31,199
Right now, the weak spot is here.

338
00:52:32,679 --> 00:52:36,000
In 1 0 days, we could be in Berlin.

339
00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:39,599
What about the fortifications
that were done in Metz?

340
00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:43,440
Fixed fortifications, huh?

341
00:52:43,679 --> 00:52:46,599
Monuments to the stupidity of man.

342
00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:50,719
When mountain ranges and oceans
could be overcome. . .

343
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:52,840
. . .anything built by man
can be overcome.

344
00:52:57,440 --> 00:53:00,000
You know how I'm sure
they're finished out there?

345
00:53:02,079 --> 00:53:03,400
The carts.

346
00:53:05,079 --> 00:53:08,199
They're using carts to move
their wounded and the supplies.

347
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:13,800
The carts came to me in my dream.
I couldn't figure it out.

348
00:53:15,079 --> 00:53:16,800
Then I remembered. . .

349
00:53:18,559 --> 00:53:22,800
. . .that nightmare in the snow.
The agonizing retreat from Moscow.

350
00:53:23,639 --> 00:53:25,400
How cold it was.

351
00:53:28,679 --> 00:53:32,199
They threw the wounded and what was
left of the supplies in the carts.

352
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:35,199
Napoleon was finished.

353
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:40,000
Not any color left.
Not even the red of blood.

354
00:53:41,199 --> 00:53:42,800
Only the snow.

355
00:53:47,639 --> 00:53:49,000
Look at this, Cod.

356
00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:57,800
I love it.

357
00:54:01,639 --> 00:54:03,800
God help me, I do love it so.

358
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:09,239
I love it more than my life.

359
00:54:18,079 --> 00:54:21,199
NARRATOR: Paris is liberated,
and French troops lead the way.

360
00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:26,480
The Allies march into the city
after four years of Nazi occupation.

361
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:29,599
The hard-fighting French
2nd Armored Division...

362
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:32,079
...under Major General
Jacques Leclerc...

363
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:34,039
...gets an unforgettable welcome...

364
00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:36,480
...as they enter their beloved Paris.

365
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:43,199
In a powerful drive to the north...

366
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:46,840
... General Montgomery cuts off and
bypasses the French coastal towns...

367
00:54:47,079 --> 00:54:49,400
...of Boulogne, Calais and Dunkirk.

368
00:54:49,639 --> 00:54:52,760
Pushing on to capture the vital
Belgian port of Antwerp.

369
00:54:58,519 --> 00:55:00,199
Meanwhile, the main body
of Patton 's army...

370
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:04,559
...resupplied now and rolling like a
juggernaut, slashes toward the Saar.

371
00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:07,440
Nazi resistance appears to crumble.

372
00:55:07,679 --> 00:55:12,199
It seems that nothing can stop our
troops from driving on into Germany.

373
00:55:20,599 --> 00:55:23,599
-Sir, General Bradley on your line.
-Good, good.

374
00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:32,119
Brad, listen, I've got a bridgehead
across the Saar.

375
00:55:32,360 --> 00:55:33,480
I'm on my way to Germany.

376
00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:36,239
Wait a minute, George.
There's a lot of trouble up north.

377
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:41,400
I want you to transfer tank armor
to Middleton's 8th Corps right away.

378
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:43,280
Brad, you can't do that.

379
00:55:43,639 --> 00:55:46,480
George, listen.
I don't have time to argue.

380
00:55:46,719 --> 00:55:49,400
There's a lot of enemy activity
up around Ardennes.

381
00:55:49,679 --> 00:55:51,840
No, I don't know how serious it is. . .

382
00:55:52,079 --> 00:55:56,400
. . .but Ike wants us to meet
with Bedell Smith tomorrow at Verdun.

383
00:55:56,639 --> 00:55:57,800
Be there at 1 1 00.

384
00:55:58,280 --> 00:55:59,599
Yes, sir.

385
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:41,599
PATTON: There's absolutely no reason
for us to assume. . .

386
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:44,400
. . .that the Germans are mounting
a major offense.

387
00:56:45,639 --> 00:56:49,599
The weather is awful
and their supplies are low.

388
00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:54,039
The Germans haven't mounted a winter
attack since Frederick the Great.

389
00:56:56,639 --> 00:56:59,679
Therefore I believe that's exactly
what they're going to do.

390
00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:42,599
I want you to start making
contingency plans. . .

391
00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:44,480
. . .for pulling out
of our eastward attack.

392
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:47,519
Changing directions 90 degrees,
moving up to Luxembourg.

393
00:57:49,239 --> 00:57:51,000
Don't look so stunned, gentlemen.

394
00:57:51,679 --> 00:57:54,199
I want you to plan
for three possible axes of attack.

395
00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:56,239
From Diekirch, due north.

396
00:57:56,480 --> 00:58:00,599
From Orl�ans to Bastogne.

397
00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:04,199
From Neufch�teau against the German
left flank.

398
00:58:23,679 --> 00:58:25,920
We've identified four German armies:

399
00:58:26,159 --> 00:58:30,960
The 7th, the 5th Panzer,
6th SS Panzer and the 1 5th.

400
00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:33,400
They've hit us with 26 divisions.

401
00:58:33,639 --> 00:58:36,400
They've overran two regimens
of the 1 06th Division.

402
00:58:36,639 --> 00:58:39,599
And 7500 of our men
were forced to surrender.

403
00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:42,400
Our concern is that von Rundstedt. . .

404
00:58:42,599 --> 00:58:46,400
. . .has the 1 01 st Airborne trapped
here at Bastogne.

405
00:58:49,199 --> 00:58:53,199
Bastogne, by the way, is the key
to this entire area.

406
00:58:53,960 --> 00:58:57,599
lf we can hold it, we can break up
the entire German offensive.

407
00:58:58,199 --> 00:59:00,800
lf they take it,
we're in serious trouble.

408
00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:04,159
Ike wants to know if anybody can go. . .

409
00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:07,480
. . .and relieve the 1 01 st
before they're torn to pieces.

410
00:59:09,639 --> 00:59:11,880
There's nothing Montgomery can do.

411
00:59:12,119 --> 00:59:14,400
At any rate, not for some weeks.

412
00:59:15,079 --> 00:59:17,000
What about you, George?

413
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:20,199
I can attack with three divisions
in 48 hours.

414
00:59:24,039 --> 00:59:25,599
I'd give myself some leeway.

415
00:59:26,159 --> 00:59:28,199
Ike wants a realistic estimate,
George.

416
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:32,400
You're in the middle of a fight now.
It's over a hundred miles to Bastogne.

417
00:59:32,639 --> 00:59:34,880
My staff's already working
out the details.

418
00:59:37,079 --> 00:59:40,000
Frankly, I don't see how
it's possible.

419
00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:42,400
Not in this kind of weather.

420
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:45,719
I should have thought you'd want
to fall back and regroup.

421
00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:48,599
Not me. I don't like to pay
for the same real estate twice.

422
00:59:48,840 --> 00:59:50,119
TEDDER:
But what about your men?

423
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:54,559
You can't cart them off 1 00 miles,
expecting them to attack without rest.

424
00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:56,039
I trained these men.

425
00:59:56,280 --> 00:59:58,119
They'll do what I tell them to do.

426
00:59:58,360 --> 01:00:01,920
We hadn't realized you were
so popular with your troops, general.

427
01:00:03,199 --> 01:00:07,000
I'm not. They'll do it
because they're good soldiers.

428
01:00:07,239 --> 01:00:10,960
And because they realize, as I do,
that we can still lose this war.

429
01:00:14,079 --> 01:00:16,719
Then I think I can speak
for Field Marshal Montgomery.

430
01:00:17,559 --> 01:00:19,920
He'd say you're asking
the impossible of your men.

431
01:00:20,159 --> 01:00:21,639
Of course he would.

432
01:00:21,880 --> 01:00:25,000
Cause he's never realized that's
what we're in business for.

433
01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:17,000
(BOMB EXPLODES)

434
01:01:40,039 --> 01:01:42,400
General McAuliffe refused
a German surrender demand.

435
01:01:42,639 --> 01:01:44,199
You know what he said?

436
01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:46,480
What?

437
01:01:46,840 --> 01:01:48,400
He said, "Nuts. "

438
01:01:50,519 --> 01:01:51,719
Keep them moving, colonel.

439
01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:54,199
A man that eloquent has to be saved.

440
01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:38,440
(SILENCE)

441
01:04:06,760 --> 01:04:08,599
This is where it pays off.

442
01:04:08,960 --> 01:04:10,519
The training and discipline.

443
01:04:11,559 --> 01:04:13,599
No other outfit in the world.

444
01:04:14,280 --> 01:04:17,800
Pulled out of a winter battle,
move a hundred miles.

445
01:04:18,079 --> 01:04:22,000
Going to a major attack with no rest,
no sleep, no hot food.

446
01:04:22,199 --> 01:04:25,719
God! God, I'm proud of these men!

447
01:04:50,320 --> 01:04:54,280
Sir, von Rundstedt's thrown another
panzer division against Bastogne.

448
01:04:54,519 --> 01:04:56,639
101 st Airborne's barely holding on.

449
01:04:56,840 --> 01:05:01,039
We need damned air cover. lf we had
decent weather, we might make it.

450
01:05:01,480 --> 01:05:03,440
CARVER:
General Mason, sir.

451
01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:20,440
Hello, Mase?
Listen, we're short on foot soldiers.

452
01:05:20,679 --> 01:05:24,239
Cannibalize your antiaircraft units
and turn them into riflemen.

453
01:05:24,440 --> 01:05:26,239
Yes, every last one you can find.

454
01:05:26,480 --> 01:05:27,719
Good evening, general.

455
01:05:27,960 --> 01:05:31,039
I just got the weather report
for tomorrow. More snow.

456
01:05:31,280 --> 01:05:33,159
There goes our air cover.

457
01:05:33,400 --> 01:05:35,960
We may have to wait
for better weather.

458
01:05:36,199 --> 01:05:40,880
Brave men dying up there. I won't
wait, not an hour, not a minute.

459
01:05:43,119 --> 01:05:44,480
Going to keep moving.

460
01:05:44,719 --> 01:05:46,440
ls that clear?

461
01:05:48,440 --> 01:05:51,840
We're going to attack all night
and attack tomorrow morning!

462
01:05:52,840 --> 01:05:55,039
lf we're not victorious. . .

463
01:05:57,239 --> 01:05:59,159
. . .let no one come back alive.

464
01:06:10,440 --> 01:06:12,079
You know something, general?

465
01:06:12,320 --> 01:06:16,440
Sometimes, they can't tell when
you're acting and when you're not.

466
01:06:18,119 --> 01:06:20,239
It isn't important for them to know.

467
01:06:21,719 --> 01:06:23,840
It's only important for me to know.

468
01:06:30,599 --> 01:06:33,840
-You want to see me, general?
-Oh, yeah, chaplain.

469
01:06:34,039 --> 01:06:36,559
I'm tired of 3rd Army
having to fight Germans. . .

470
01:06:36,800 --> 01:06:39,039
. . .with supreme command,
no gasoline. . .

471
01:06:39,239 --> 01:06:41,159
. . .and now this ungodly weather.

472
01:06:41,400 --> 01:06:43,400
I want a prayer, a weather prayer.

473
01:06:44,400 --> 01:06:45,679
A weather prayer, sir?

474
01:06:45,920 --> 01:06:48,840
Yes, let's see if you can't get God
working with us.

475
01:06:49,079 --> 01:06:51,440
Gonna take a thick rug
for that kind of praying.

476
01:06:51,679 --> 01:06:53,840
I don't care if it
takes a flying carpet.

477
01:06:54,039 --> 01:06:56,840
I don't know how this
will be received, general.

478
01:06:57,079 --> 01:06:59,880
Praying for good weather
so we can kill our fellow man.

479
01:07:00,119 --> 01:07:03,119
I assure you, because of
my relations with the Almighty. . .

480
01:07:03,360 --> 01:07:06,440
. . .if you write a good prayer,
we'll have good weather.

481
01:07:06,719 --> 01:07:09,239
And I expect that prayer
within an hour.

482
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:11,239
Yes, sir.

483
01:07:40,639 --> 01:07:43,440
"Almighty and most merciful Father. . .

484
01:07:44,320 --> 01:07:46,679
. . .we humbly beseech Thee. . .

485
01:07:46,920 --> 01:07:49,039
. . .of Thy great goodness. . .

486
01:07:49,920 --> 01:07:53,239
. . .to restrain this
immoderate weather. . .

487
01:07:54,440 --> 01:07:56,639
. . .with which we've had to contend.

488
01:07:58,719 --> 01:08:01,440
Grant us fair weather for battle.

489
01:08:02,519 --> 01:08:04,239
Graciously hearken to us...

490
01:08:05,320 --> 01:08:07,440
...as soldiers who call upon Thee...

491
01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:10,280
... that armed with Thy power...

492
01:08:10,639 --> 01:08:13,480
... we may advance
from victory to victory...

493
01:08:13,679 --> 01:08:15,960
...and crush the oppression...

494
01:08:16,199 --> 01:08:18,640
...and wickedness of our enemies...

495
01:08:18,840 --> 01:08:21,039
...and establish Thy justice...

496
01:08:21,840 --> 01:08:25,039
...among men and nations.

497
01:08:28,279 --> 01:08:29,479
Amen. ''

498
01:08:44,279 --> 01:08:45,680
Weather's perfect.

499
01:08:46,920 --> 01:08:49,640
Cod, get me that chaplain.

500
01:08:49,880 --> 01:08:52,760
He's in good with the Lord
and I want to decorate him.

501
01:09:19,239 --> 01:09:21,520
Hiya, general!

502
01:09:57,840 --> 01:10:00,359
NARRATOR: Supported by medium bombers
and fighter bombers...

503
01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:03,039
...flying sorties
against German positions...

504
01:10:03,279 --> 01:10:04,840
...elements of the 3rd Army...

505
01:10:05,039 --> 01:10:07,520
...spearheaded by the
