I never thought I'd see the day.

You are right about that.

You paint this?

Yeah, it's good right?

Oh yeah, it's good, it's good.

You know my nephew is a painter,

yeah looks like

something he would do.

He is 5 years old.

You've got jokes

That ain't funny.

What in the hell is

going on over here.

You want to invite the Germans

over here to kill us.

Well, well, well,

you are all drunk.

Owens over here.

This is how you run

your gun team?

They know better than to start a

fire, they're just freezing sir.

We need socks, gloves and

warm coats sir.

And you'll get it,

as it's available.

- Hey you driver.

- Corporal Harrison sir.

Well Harrison you go get that

Hellcat right now, I don't want

to see you out of that driver

seat 'til daybreak.

- Yes sir.

- Let's go.

The rest of you are

going on patrol.

Owens, I want you to take them

up to that trail up there and I

want to know if there are any Krauts

on the other side of that river bank.

I don't know if it's a good idea

sir, they are drunk.

It's a great idea and you can

walk off that drunken stupor.

Get going before I write you up

and I want you to

report back to me,

personally,

in one hour.

Yes sir.

Here we are fighting in the US

army against an enemy that

thinks they are better than

everybody else but everybody in

this army think they are

better than us.

How come we ain't got nobody

fighting for us?

It's like a dog chasing its own

tail you get that?

Yeah, we got it

Smitty now shut up.

You shut up Gaines.

Both of you shut up,

you are too loud.

Now we wouldn't be out here if

you weren't drunk.

I ain't drunk.

Get down, get down.

maybe a little drunk.

Smitty no more talking.

Just give me my flask I'll

be quite as a wisp.

You'll get your flask when we

are done with this patrol.

Well will you hurry it up,

it's taking forever.

You don't know where we are,

do you?

And you do?

I can lead us up to that river bank

and back to camp in five minutes.

I'd love to see that,

you take point.

You want him on point Sarge

as drunk as he is?

Maybe it will sober him up.

Just don't be drinking out

of my flask now.

I won't, now you promise

no more talking.

Go on.

Now I mean it Sarge

don't be drinking-

Down get down, take cover.

Cooper get behind the tree,

get down, put your

head down Cooper.

Gaines put your head down.

You are going to run and I'm

going to cover you, you got it?

Okay.

On three, one, two, three.

Gaines!

Davis knew he was sending us on

a suicide mission.

When I got back to camp I got

real drunk when I went in to

report that's when I attacked.

A week later they busted us down

to truck detail and every day

since then I've wondered if

I hadn't done that,

there might still be an 827.

Would you look at that,

Hellcats coming back.

It's been hit.

Which means if they

are coming back,

there's probably a German

tank right behind them.

We can use this.

You want to shoot an enemy tank

with a Panzerfaust?

How are you going to

get that close?

Well the weakest spot on a tank

is the underbelly right?

Right.

If we can convince the Germans

that out Hellcat's on

its last leg,

then we might be able to

move them into a position where

we can knock them out.

How are you going to get a shot

underneath the tank?

I'll show you.

We've got Germans on the wall.

Okay I think I got them all.

You doing okay?

- Danny Boy?

- I'm fine.

Danny, Simms, I'm under the

Hellcat, open up.

Mitchell are you hearing that?

Shut up it's me Simms.

Danny, open the escape hatch.

Why are you down there?

What happened to the Hellcat?

They got a shot off so now the

turret won't work.

Are they following you?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure there's

one heading this way.

Look we have an idea.

I need rags, anything we can

set on fire okay?

Where's that metal bucket.

Put the gun down Shonbeck.

Lieutenant, do you know what we

do to prisoners that escape?

We kill them.

We kill them.

Hans, come here.

Danny!

Danny!

Hey give me your lighter.

Okay I'm going to light this on fire

and it's going to start to smoke.

That should make the Hellcat

look like it's in bad shape.

Hopefully he'll follow you right

down over this opening.

Let's hope Owens' plan works,

you got it?

I got it.

Okay, crew's ready to go?

I don't recommend standing there, guard

the hall and keep the Germans out.

You know you're going to get

yourself killed.

It's the only way we are going

to get a kill shot.

If that tank comes over this

opening then we've got a shot.

Good luck.

Okay it's smoking.

I hope those Germans follow us.

Come on.

What happened to here?

We were ambushed.

Three panzers hiding.

They are waiting for

Americans to pass by.

Hell of a mess wouldn't you say?

A lot of people died today sir.

Corporal Simms told me

what you did.

He said if you hadn't been here

to take charge those Germans

would still be

holding this road.

Thanks to you a lot of lives

were saved today.

Just doing my duty sir.

The Corporal also said you

set a good example.

Made good decisions, assertive.

I'm going to recommend you for

a Silver Star Sergeant.

It's really not necessary sir.

You are going to tell me how to

run my division Sergeant?

- No sir.

- I didn't think so.

Let me take a look

at your leg Sarge.

Looks like you made it.

Yes.

Do you have my pistol?

How you doing?

I'm not really sure.

You did good Danny,

really good.

Thanks.

You know I'm surprised

you're still alive.

The back blast from that

Panzerfaust

should've killed you.

Maybe I've got an angel

watching over me.

Yeah maybe you do.

Thanks.

So sergeant,

what was the name of that

Hellcat you were talking about?

When I look at the name of this

thing and I ask the private...
