Raid on Rommel Page #4

Synopsis: Captain Foster plans on raiding German-occupied Tobruk with hand-picked commandos, but a mix-up leaves him with a medical unit containing a Quaker conscientious objector. Despite all odds they succeed with their mission. On the way they pick up and drug the mistress of an Italian general, blow up the entire fuel supply for the Afrika Korps, and swap philatelic gossip with Field Marshal Erwin Rommel.

my conduct...

Dear boy, overnight you've become

a legend among men. Don't spoil it.

I don't want to... - Turn off

that remarkable conscience!

Remember,

virtue has its own reward!

We've got to knock out

the pillboxes to get at the guns.

See you on the beach, later.

Navy's on time.

Our only hope...

Alright, Mac. Now!

- Now!

Rope me!

They're still outranging us, sir.

Sir...

- Maintain our present course.

Sir, look!

Get to the trucks! We gotta act fast!

You take them mortars.

All the men this way! Right now!

Sir, lookout reports heavy fighting

on the hill above the guns.

Launch landing craft.

- Yes, sir.

Oh, God...

Help me!

I can't take it!

Bring out the flamethrower.

- Aye, sir.

Give it to me!

I'll cover you while you get

more ammunition for the guns.

You!

Cover me!

...that they could ever defeat us,

is impossible and unthinkable.

National Socialist Germany

and the states allied with it

will be the young nations...

Hook up the demolition squad

and let's go.

Get the men out of here!

- Come on, lads!

You swine!

"I'm a Quaker. I'm in the Medical

Corps as a conscientious objector.

I cannot help you in a mission

where I would have to kill someone. "

Get going! Get going!

Signal all units to reverse course.

- All units, reverse course!

Open up! Africa Corps!

All units resume original course.

- Resume original course!

All units fire as guns bear.

- All units fire as guns bear!

Get going! Get going!

Get down on that bloody boat!

Why don't you get on that boat?

I'm a doctor. Maybe we can

save you for a Nazi firing squad.

Perhaps Rommel won't shoot

such devoted stamp collectors as us.

Here they come.

Thanks to CBS London,

Edward R. Murrow reporting.

This is London. The battle of Egypt

continues to go well.

The Axis radio talks of allied

movement near Gibraltar.

The British are a cautious people.

Their hopes have been raised before.

They'd rather wait and see.

But official quarters

are more confident than ever.

They don't believe Rommel

can get reinforcements in time.

And they don't believe he can

stand up to superior British Forces.
