- Affirmative.

Ready.

Ready.

- Fire!

- Fire!

- They're just bouncing off it!

- I know!

Reload!

233, wait for the infantry.

Fire!

Reloading!

They're going for the machine gun!

225, cover the right flank!

You, too, 212!

Two armoured vehicles to the right.

Affirmative.

Reload!

- Come on, 233!

- Yes, Second Lieutenant.

212?

- Reloading!

- 233, cover the road!

Yes, Second Lieutenant!

Second Lieutenant, help us!

I'm retreating!

Retreat!

Come on! Retreat!

212, follow them!

219, retreat!

- You hit it!

- I bloody got it!

Shoot them! Shoot them!

Shoot them, Kolding!

Kolding!

Nrreskov! Help him!

- Is it bad?

- Yes, it's bad!

We need help!

Nrreskov!

Retreat!

- We have to get him out of here.

- Kolding.

- We must retreat, Second Lieutenant.

- Kolding, look at me.

223, take the ammunition bag.

Take the ammunition bag.

We can't do anything more here!

Nothing more! Come on!

219, get the machine gun!

Leave the tripod!

Come on!

Where's Kolding?

- Where's Kolding?

- Follow me.

- Where's Kolding?

- Control yourself!

- Where is he?

- Kolding's dead! Follow me!

Come on!

- Come on.

- Nrreskov!

This way!

Down to that farm.

212, hide all the bicycles

in the shed.

Come on. Quickly.

Come on, 212!

Get inside.

219, take this window.

223, take that window.

- 225, take that one.

- Yes, sir.

Give me that rifle.

Pull yourself together,

so we can get out of this alive.

- Here. If you see anything...

- What are you doing here?

- No!

- Easy, easy!

- Get down on the floor, madam!

- Oh, no!

You have to remain quiet.

- We won't stay long.

- All right.

219, is anybody approaching?

I can't see anyone.

- Still no one?

- No.

I don't think anybody's coming.

Madam, could you help

wash this man's face?

- Yes.

- 223.

- That one?

- Yes.

Come on.

We'll continue going north.

Up to Snder Hostrup.

We'll get to the Lieutenant Colonel.

That's where the command centre is.

- They can give us new orders.

- So we'll continue?

What else did you have in mind, 233?

Nothing, Second Lieutenant.

I'm ready.

I need a second-in-command.

That's you.

219, give 233 his rifle.

Come on.

There. Now you're clean again.

Such a sweet boy.

There.

We're leaving.

- Let's continue.

- Yes, sir. Gentlemen.

- Madam.

- You can hide here.

You can stay in the hayloft.

No one will find you there.

- To what end? We're at war.

- It would save the boys' lives.

I'm protecting them

with everything I've got.

But I refuse to hide them during a

war. And they don't want that either.

20 years ago this was Germany

and now it's Denmark.

Perhaps I should be ashamed of this,

but it doesn't matter much to me.

It matters greatly to me.

Thank you for your help.

Attention!

I don't know what's happened

to the Lieutenant, -

- Sergeant Klostergaard

or the rest of the platoon.

We're what's left.

We know what we're up against.

We lost a great soldier today.

He fought bravely

but had to surrender to God's will.

Let his death be a reminder to us all

that we have to be prepared.

Follow me.

2nd Platoon, 4th Company!

Halt!

219, try to get some ammunition.

The rest of you wait here.

Still no response.

- Lieutenant Colonel.

- Second Lieutenant.

Snder Hostrup calling. Come in.

Come in. Are you receiving?

I repeat.

Snder Hostrup calling. Come in.

- You were at Lundtoftebjerg?

- We didn't hold it for very long.

We were outnumbered. We were attacked

by armoured vehicles and infantry.

- Where is your lieutenant?

- I don't know.

I think the Lieutenant was captured -

- or surrendered

along with the rest of the platoon.

And the motorcycle platoon?

Sergeant Bundgaard chose to

move north after the first skirmish.

But we are far from defeated.

We are ready to receive new orders.

Get the radio on the lorry.

Come on!

Are you leaving?

Follow me.

Thank you.

- Cigarette?

- Yes, please.

We've heard from both Haderslev

and Snderborg.

- They're not coming.

- There are no reinforcements coming?

Why not?

We were told they'd be

of more use in their own region.

That was the last message before

we lost all communication.

The telephone lines have probably

been sabotaged by the enemy.

- And the joint line of defence?

- There'll be no line here.

The border region has fallen.

All units have retreated -

- or surrendered, so the battle will

take place further north and inland.

- Any news from Copenhagen?

- No, there's no contact.

What are our orders,

Lieutenant Colonel?

We retreat to Haderslev

and join the garrison there.

We'll establish

a line of defence there.

It's going to be a long day, Sand.

- Second Lieutenant.

- Lieutenant Colonel.

Attention!

New reports have come in.

There will be

no reinforcements from Haderslev.

Or from Snderborg.

We're going to Haderslev -

- to assist the garrison

in defending the town.

Can I ask a question?

No, 233, you can't.

We're going through the woods.

We should reach Haderslev

before the Germans. Understood?

- Yes, Second Lieutenant!

- Follow me!

Second lieutenant.

- Yes, 212?

- I have a flat tyre.

We'll stop here briefly.

219, help him.

- 233, stand guard over there.

- 223, over there.

- 225, you're from this area, right?

- Yes, Second Lieutenant.

The fastest way to Haderslev?

I want to avoid the main road.

And no open landscapes.

What do you say?

If we continue in this direction

we'll end up on this road.

Then we'll go through Aabenraa.

From there we can ride

the bicycles to Haderslev.

- It should be possible.

- Good. We'll do that.

- Second Lieutenant?

- Yes?

223. Nrreskov. Kolding, 217.

They He was a close friend.

- Make them hurry up.

- Yes, Second Lieutenant.

212, 219. You have to work faster.

As you were.

Did you enjoy your leave?

- Yes, Second Lieutenant.

- Do you have a family?

A fiance.

- Was it her, you wrote a letter to?

- Yes.

Did you set a date?

Not yet, but hopefully

sometime this summer.

Then we'd better get you home safe.

Nrreskov, you're a part of

4th Company, 2nd Bicycle Platoon.

You're not alone.

Affirmative.

The last bit. Come on.

- We're almost there.

- Hurry up.

- Come on, Andersen.

- We need more time.

There is no time to spare.

- The war doesn't wait for you.

- I can't do it any faster!

- You have to.

- Who the hell do you think you are?

Come on! Get that bicycle fixed.

- What's the problem?

- I'm...

- Having any doubts?

- No.

- Have you forgotten your duty?

- No.

- No, Second Lieutenant.

- Then get that bicycle ready.

Yes, sir.

- Never discuss an order.

- Yes, Second Lieutenant.

- Ready, Second Lieutenant.

- Moving on. 233, 223.

2nd Platoon, 4th Company.

- Can you help?

- 223, 233, assist them.

Follow me.

225, you're with me.

- The rest of you stay here.

- Yes, sir.

Hello. Want to buy some milk?

It's cheap. Only two kroner.

Hello. What are you doing here?

Want to buy some milk?

It's cheap. Only two kroner.

- Sergeant Bundgaard.

- Yes.

- What's going on?
