Your first name is" ordinary".

You will never Corporal.

- I just want to be civil.

- Sometimes we go camping.

- Farmers are always talking about camping.

- What do you do when you go camping?

- Sleeping outside, have campfires...

- And along the same clothes all the time?

- It's part of the fun.

- See Rosen, we amuses us.

- I amuses me.

- Now you're negative again.

- You disappoint your mother.

- Yes, I guess.

Yoder. Make your box.

Come on.

- Here you go, kid, eat.

- Thank you.

- Captain, Ed, what you can,

- Yes.

Tell all they have to cover them

and make sure to rest.

Do not shoot! If they know where we are,

they also know where their is.

It's a British aircraft.

He saw them. Add on!

Down!

Find a hole and stay there.

Card...

He has something.

We have their position!

Listen! Sharing samples

to break through to ourselves.

They need to know where we are.

We have sent runners out every night,..

...either lost or is killed.

Rain can provide the protection

we need.

I'm looking for some volunteers.

I'll report me.

I almost had my

on dry before the war.

I was so close to

to be firm pilot.

Lift attendant.

I practiced my pronunciation

to get the job.

" Elevator three runs up."

" Good morning"," good night".

So I had to work

with the fine gentlemen and ladies.

I had uniformed

with gold down the page.

I had clean hands

and no back pain as the others.

- What happened?

- What do you think? It is here!

Do you think the job waiting for me?

I am going to push a cart,

as all other Dagos.

We collect never them,

was home.

Come out to Montana,

we will help you.

I have never ridden.

So we find a horse,

no one has ridden on.

Would you do it for me, cowboy?

- I've never driven in the elevator.

- Where did the army you?

- I volunteered.

- Wow! Did you join?

What?

I did too.

Did you report you volunteer for this?

What a bunch of idiots we are.

- Captain.

- Check the dead Germans.

- See if they have food for the wounded.

- Yes, Captain.

No, no!

Okay, okay... Relax.

It's yours. You can keep it.

Take it easy.

Hench!

I got it!

Oh God... Hench.

Do not shoot.

I ask you to bring a message

from me to your commander.

- I do not know if it goes.

- Would you rather be a prisoner?

No, but only prisoners of the me

and so I live messages.

- Make me not to spy?

- No.

You and your comrades

is very brave.

I envy your commander

his people.

Look down.

- I will save lives.

- Yes, sir.

Major?

Keep the fire.

Keep the fire.

- Hello, friend.

- Goodbye, comrade.

I have message from the Germans.

- How did they treat you?

- Good, sir.

- What about Lieutenant Leak?

- He's fine.

- Well, rest up now.

- Thank you, sir. Get a weapon.

Hollingshead did his nation honor

by refusing to answer questions.

Their Wounded disorders can be heard

of the German troops.

We ask you to capitulate,..

...since resistance is meaningless

under the circumstances.

Signed Major Prinz.

I think we've beaten them,

otherwise they would have not sent it.

What we reply, Major?

This is unacceptable.

- How are you?

- It has never been better.

Lieutenant Leak is a good officer.

He is from Texas.

We lost more than 60 men

in our own bombardment today.

We have less than 200

battle-ready troops.

I do not know

how they are doing it.

Underestimate them.

Two days ago, a Chinese

spark and the runner was Indian.

They are dead,

but that's not the point.

These Italians, Irish,

Jews and Poles...

...would never hire me as a lawyer,

we would never be seen together.

But we will never be together

with better soldiers...

...or better men,

than those here.

Major, I was

in Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders.

I've never done

with a better officer than you.

Do you know that your people

would do anything for you?

Thanks, George.

No!

Forward!

Come on!

Towards the line!

L bastards.

You hit nothing that way.

Get me some ammo.

Oh, buddy...

Come on! Spread out!

Come on!

- Did it?

- Yes.

Back!

Mobsters. New York gangsters.

Stupid spaghetti.

I thought you were hurt.

Here's my chance, I'm going to a

hospital nurses.

- I am a bit of a charmer.

- You screw up enough.

Yes, you're right i

Come on.

Sorry, friend.

Godez, tires right flank.

Hackett, hold the position here.

Major Whittlesey.

There are promotions

and medals for all.

Obviously, we did not find the place.

Artillery found it, General.

Where's the rest of batallionen?

There was not enough left of Gaedeke

to bury.

Schenck sharing

is somewhere out there.

I sent him out to the

Frenchmen, they said, was on the flank.

- It's acceptable losses.

- Not for me, sir.

I understand your feelings.

They said flank was covered

and ordered us to attack.

They promised us supplies,

they did not.

- You call it acceptable?

- Yes, I do.

We broke through the German lines,

because you held the position,..

...and annoyed them.

They have wrought it incredible.

They had 600 men to think

I have 20,000.

I have to live with.

There are cars coming after your men.

They have lived through hell.

They will never know what they have

lived through, or what they may.

They are better than you, General.

Better than me. It is always.

The officers and can run with me.

I can not afford.

I stay with my men.

I understand.

Folks! We're moving out.
