We all knew.
[SINGING]
...your fag,
[SINGING]
Smile boys, that's the style,
what's the use of worrying?
so pack up your troubles
in your old kit-bag,
and smile, smile, smile.
(Laughter)
We had fifteen seconds
to empty the plane.
If you hesitated, the men
behind you would get scattered,
and we'd all be screwed.
at the right time.
Green lights on!
Green on!
Go Go Go
Go Go!
Move it!
Move!
Move it!
Just after I jumped,
I'm thinkin,
"What the hell am
I doing here?"
'D-DAY'.
We launch at dawn.
The plan is to drop into
the sea two miles offshore
and arrive
just before the infantry.
There's no
turning back now.
Listen gonna tell
you straight up,
Army Intel says only
two out of five of us
are going to
make it off this beach.
If we wanna make it, we're
going to have to keep our heads,
stay smart.
Remember that we got one job,
punch through the enemy lines.
Remember that
and we'll be okay.
Paratroopers would
have landed by now.
Each airborne unit had
a specific objective,
knock out a bridge,
or communication line,
launching a counter-attack
against the beach.
Our job was to
secure the drop zone
by launching a surprise attack
on a German garrison
near a town called
Varaville.
We had to take out their main
gun before the next wave
of twenty-five hundred
paratroopers came in.
If we failed, those boys
would get slaughtered.
I had five minutes to
get to the rally point.
Problem was, I had no
idea where the hell I was,
or how to get there.
First time I get bombed,
it's by our own air-force.
Maybe they missed
their target,
maybe we'd been dropped
in the wrong place.
Maybe both.
Maybe we were all
screwing up.
Punch!
Judy! What?
"Judy!"
Jesus Christ, "Judy!"
Um, "Who won
the Stanley Cup?"
Habs!
Four-games-straight.
You look like
sh*t Hartigan.
You're one to talk.
Any idea where we are?
France?
How the hell do we get
to the rally point?
I dunno.
We'd missed the rendezvous.
I wondered how many
others were lost.
Wandering around the
French countryside.
Or dead.
Dawn.
June sixth, 1944.
At last we could see it.
The long grey
coastline of Normandy.
Then our Navy guns opened up.
Artillery fire
So loud it was like getting
punched in the chest.
lot worse to the Germans.
Artillery fire
Alright, alright!
One last time.
LCA drops us
here at H-hour.
Katesman!
Chief snipes the machine-gun
position here while me, Apple,
Bashnick and Culty take the
Bangalores and blow the wire.
Here.
Good!
Blow the wire.
Chief!
Section One pushes through
to take the Machine Gun pillbox.
STORK.
We then rally here.
And attack the main bunker,
here, destroying the 88.
Good.
Alright! There'll be
a lot of heavy smoke.
What do you do if you get lost?
Grab STORK and poke his
head through the clouds.
Move up that beach and
You do not stop to
help the wounded.
No one stops.
Medics take care of that.
Alright?
Artillery fire
Listen.
Given the Naval bombardment,
chances are
nothing will be left.
With seas like this,
launching the tanks
was going to be tricky.
but the time was here
to get em in the water.
The bloody Brit
won't let us launch.
What?
Navy command is
saying it's too rough.
But this is 'bullshit'.
Well Sergeant,
I can see their point.
conditions like this before.
But sir I...
Four of your
men can't even swim.
Yeah, but I...
Including you.
Major,
I speak for my men.
We'd rather take our
chances out there,
than stay on this
rolling puke bucket.
C'mon sir let us launch.
Those infantry boys they're
going to die without us.
Okay, okay.
Leave it to me.
What about the Brit?
It's not his show.
Sergeant Gariepy.
Bonne chance.
I was thinking,
was that very brave?
or very stupid?
Artillery shots
Bagpipes
Bird, looks like we're
gonna be in the movies.
Yeah, a regular
Gary Cooper huh?
Hi mom!
Bagpipes
Hey Apple, know why bagpipers
To get away from that noise.
Bagpipes
Load em in.
Section One!
Loading!
Let's move.
Pick it up.
Pick it up!
Careful with that kid!
After three days at sea,
we finally boarded
the landing craft
that would take us
in to the beach.
Each carried a Platoon
of thirty-six men.
of plywood and steel.
Bouncing around like a cork.
According to plan, we were to
land on the beach at 'H' hour
just when the Naval bombardment
was scheduled to stop.
We were scared.
Anyone who said he wasn't,
was either a liar
or just plain crazy.
Okay Men, prepare to launch,
prepare to launch.
McGinnis, start er up!
Navy command said it was
too dangerous to launch.
But our C.O.
Decided to push forward.
Everyone in our squadron,
all nineteen tank crews...
Electrics on.
...felt we had to chance it.
Radio check.
Main gun in position!
Ladies, our skirt is up.
Take us in McGinnis!
Aye, aye Captain!
Here we go.
... McGinnis.
Hold steady.
We launched more
than two miles off shore.
The first tank in
our unit to go in.
But I wondered, how many
of us would make the beach?
Dawn.
D-Day.
The first infantry
assault wave
is already headed
for the beach.
Further inland air-borne units
objectives to prevent a
German counter-attack
against our beach forces.
Mallon and I
dodging enemy patrols.
By sunrise, we finally made
our way to the objective.
The German garrison
at Varaville.
We were so late, we figured
the rest of our unit
had already
knocked out the gun
that threatened
our main drop zone.
Get down!
Get down.
Get down.
Gunfire
Over here!
Gunfire
Hey, Stupid.
Where've you been?
MacPhee, what the
hell's going on?
Makela, take the
Bren gun over there.
Keep your head down.
Why haven't you
taken the objective?
Because of that Pillbox.
The German artillery's back
there, hidden that wall.
Right there?
Yeah.
Where's Macleod?
Major MacLeod is dead.
In the house there.
We were scouting
when the gun opened up.
Jesus --
Where the hell
is everyone else?
only 17 of us made it.
We can't get
past that pillbox.
So go around.
We tried that. There's
minefields on either side.
There's no way in.
Well, I have to do something.
We can't take it.
We're out numbered.
And we got nothing -
no PIATS.
One Bren gun.
Your mortar's the
biggest thing we've got.
Best bet is
just to keep'em tied-up
'till reinforcements
come in.
Bull-sh*t.
We've got to do something.
I'm gonna scout
out the position.
Maybe I can
find a way in.
Okay. See if you can get
up to the rooftop.
Sergeant McPhee
and the others
had kept the enemies
engaged all night.
But sooner or later
German reinforcements
were bound to show up.
Careful in there
