Operation Amsterdam Page #5

---

Without you, we couldn't have managed.

You risked everything to help us.

Dear, kind Jan.

What can I say?

- It would be so easy to say yes.

- Why don't you?

All I know is that I must stay here.

This is where I can help.

Holland will need all the help she can get.

But you've done enough already.

What do you want to give? Your life?

If necessary.

You know...

that we all love you.

Will you look for Joseph?

If he's alive somewhere...

I shall find him somehow.

I shall never forget us, Jan.

Bless you.

Did you find him?

Yes, he kept his promise.

But he was dead. Air raid.

- What about the boat?

- Gone.

Let's try the other end of the quay,

we might find one of the harbor tugs.

They're usually over there.

Is she coming with us?

I have already explained.

Sure you won't change your mind?

Believe me, I'm very grateful...

but I can't.

We have a lot to thank you for.

- Good-bye.

- Good-bye.

Don't be angry.

I want you to have this.

It's from all of us.

You've all been very kind to me.

May I take this with me?

It will wilt before the morning.

But Holland will grow strong again.

We're going to requisition your tug.

It's a matter of military urgency.

I'm not taking this old tub

out again tonight for anyone, mister.

We haven't got time to argue.

We're meeting a British destroyer

outside the harbor at 8:00.

When you find Joseph, tell him...

that I'm coming back to steal his best girl.

May God see you safely all back home.

Cast off, Walter. And you.

Now, tug master, the destroyer.

That's for your trouble, Skipper.

What the devil's that?

The Batavia Shell oil dumps, in Amsterdam.

You've had a busy day, Major.

I think we've all had a busy day.

Including Anna.

She's a brave woman.

There'll be many Annas in Holland

before it's all over.
