Diepel!
Return this officer
to the prisoners' compound, alive.
Come.
Major, I'm relying on you
to reassure your men...
...I have no time
for troublesome prisoners.
Tiger to Standard O-bay,
General Kohler.
Your usual ration, sir.
General Kohler. Hessler.
General, is it true that American
prisoners were executed at Malmedy?
There are SS units
in the Malmedy sector.
I can't assume responsibility
for every soldier on this front.
Do you realize the consequences
of this act?
I have lost 17 tanks and a battalion
of men leveling Ambleve...
...for the sole purpose of reducing
the enemy's will to fight.
This massacre will stiffen resistance
to us everywhere.
It will turn a demoralized mob
into avenging soldiers.
You are being insolent, colonel.
Concern yourself with your mission.
You are to reach Saint-Michel
by 1600 tomorrow.
- Be there.
- Yes, sir.
They've taken a beating,
and they look it.
They're not a rabble.
They're retreating like soldiers.
Where are we gonna stop
and put up the fight?
At our last line of defense,
the River Meuse.
We'll cross it
and dig in on the west bank.
At least we'll get the Germans wet.
Still sore I pulled you out of Ambleve?
I was contributing
to the war effort there, sir.
Try to keep your feet from freezing
while we figure a way to stop them.
They've made mistakes before.
Where have they made one this time?
Well, they got me mad at them.
Shut up. We'll get there.
Come on. Come on.
Keep moving! Keep moving!
- What's holding you up?
- I'm out of gas.
I reported low about an hour ago.
Where's the fuel truck?
Get off the road and wait for it.
Keep moving.
- Pull it over.
- Move it!
Come on!
Keep moving.
Keep moving. Move it.
Where are you going?
Will you wait a minute?
I need gas.
Oh, get down.
Why, you ugly jerk!
Here, use your big mouth on that.
Hey, come on, let's get with it.
What are you laughing at?
Come and move this thing.
- You're all wet, sarge.
- Now get it up.
- What are you gonna do with this?
- "What are you gonna do with this?"
Siphon with it, idiot. Put it in.
- What are you thinking?
- Same thing you are.
Those prisoners you brought
They've been carrying those
to siphon gas?
At the Our River,
I saw a German fuel truck...
...drop oil drums in the water,
they floated.
- What the hell are you talking about?
- Gasoline, sir.
Empty fuel drums and men carrying
siphon hoses add up to one thing.
The Germans are low on gas.
They have to forage for it.
That's their weakness.
- Get this off to headquarters.
- Sir.
A, what is the fuel consumption
of a Tiger tank?
B, the exact distance from the
Siegfried Line to the Meuse River.
C, what is the estimate of fuel reserves
in the German army?
- That's it.
- Yes, sir, right away.
What are you laughing at, you idiot?
What is the situation in Bastogne?
Our forces have completely
encircled the Americans.
Their situation is hopeless. They have
no recourse but to surrender.
Hey, look what's coming. Lieutenant!
Halt!
to communicate...
...with the American commander
of the encircled town of Bastogne.
What's on your mind?
"From the German commanding general
to the commander of American troops...
...fighting in Bastogne.
With the changing fortunes of war...
...the U.S.A. Forces
in and around Bastogne...
...have become completely surrounded
by superior German armored units.
The only possibility
to spare the American troops...
...from total annihilation
is their honorable surrender...
...which will also prevent the slaughter
of helpless civilians."
You have one hour of truce to reply.
Blindfold him.
Take him up to the command post.
Repeat, please.
Is that all?
Sir, I have a message from Bastogne.
What is it?
I don't understand it.
"From the American commander of
Bastogne to the German commander.
Nuts."
Nuts.
Hey, over there.
Hey, it's an officer.
Boy, are we glad to see you.
- I haven't eaten in 12 hours.
- We got lost.
Hold it. Wait a minute.
Do you think we should surrender,
lieutenant?
Surrender?
No.
Just stay loose, all of you. Stay loose.
Now, give me that light.
All right, spread out.
Get some rest.
We'll get started when it's light.
General Grey.
Sir, this just came in.
- Move along.
- Any of you guys been to Ambleve?
Wait a minute.
Will you wait a minute?
- Any of you guys been to Ambleve?
- Come on, Guffy, we'll get in trouble.
I gotta know.
I've been to Ambleve.
- You know Ambleve inn?
- Yeah.
Well, it's okay, isn't it?
There's nothing left of it.
Guffy, come on.
When are they gonna let us fight?
Let's go.
It's here, sir, the information
you requested from headquarters.
That's it.
They're running out of gas.
Where's the spearhead of
We place it four miles past Ambleve,
moving west.
Where will they be at daybreak?
If they travel all night, they should be
nine miles due east of the fuel depot.
We'll be there to meet them.
I'm committing my tanks.
We'll use plan F.
- Get me Blue Code 301.
- 301.
All right, mount up. Crank them up.
Let's go. Let's go.
Let's go. Crank them up,
crank them up.
Look at that fog.
If it stays, we won't find them
and we won't fight.
If it lifts, they'll find us.
And that will be the end of our men
and our tanks.
And I'm praying that it lifts.
What does that make me, Dan?
A general.
Is that so, general?
It's very interesting.
Thank you, general.
Our column has made
the farthest advance.
We have outrun the other panzers.
The eyes of Germany are on us.
The Fuhrer himself will decorate me.
We have done it, Conrad.
We have done it.
Then I was wrong.
We have won the war.
No.
You mean we have lost?
No.
I don't understand. If we have not won
and we have not lost...
...then what's happening?
The best thing possible is happening.
The war will go on.
- For how long?
- Indefinitely.
On and on and on.
- But it must come to an end.
- You're a fool, Conrad.
Those of us who understood
knew, in 1941, we could never win.
You mean, colonel, for three years,
we have been fighting...
...without any hope of victory?
- There are many kinds of victory.
For the German army to survive,
for us to remain in uniform...
...that is our victory.
Conrad, the world is not going
to get rid of us after all.
But when do we go home?
This is our home.
And my sons? When do I see them?
What will become of them?
They will become German soldiers,
and you will be proud of them.
Conrad.
You still have any of those delicacies left
you offered me at Ambleve?
Yes, sir.
Prepare them for me, will you?
I'm in very good appetite.
- See anything?
- Nothing.
It's like they disappeared.
- They been spotted yet?
- No, sir.
They must have changed course
during the night.
Call our scouts again.
- See anything?
- Nothing.
