Absolutely sir.

There she is.

How tall do you think it is?

Could be 600 feet, maybe more.

Sure is ugly.

That thing could put a round

on Paris, maybe even London.

You know, it looks like

it could be operational.

Does division know?

That's why we're here, Sergeant.

What are we gonna do about it?

We're gonna get out of here.

Really, that's it?

We're just gonna report it?

What if it starts firing on London?

We've seen what we need

to see here, Sergeant.

So we're not gonna do anything?

We're done here, let's go.

You get what you need?

Hey Moffatte, good work.

Wait 'til a Jerry gets

a load of these, huh?

We're all dug in, sir.

Good.

Oh sh*t, this can't be good.

There's German armor

coming down the road.

Take cover.

Moffatte, the shovel!

We've got to get the f*** out of here...

C'mon kid, let's go.

Stay down.

You're gonna get us all killed.

I don't want to get you

killed, I want you to go home,

You hear me, but shut up.

Grenade!

Sir, why are they stopping?

Maintenance check.

Captain, you ok?

Get 'em!

Lieutenant?

York, August... Germans have 'em.

Let's get back to the squad.

Bit harder, harder.

Captain?

Hey, hey, are you ok here?

Yes, it's nothing, I will be fine.

Where's York and August?

German Patrol got 'em both.

Still alive?

Think so, at least for now.

Find the gun?

They run patrol not far

from here, set up a depot,

Millipede gun looks operational.

Division's gonna want to

know about this, Captain.

So, what do you want to do?

I can't leave my men behind, Captain.

How are we gonna do that, sir?

We're going in and getting them out.

Ok... I'm in.

What about our orders?

Looks like we just changed 'em, soldier.

I'm in, sir.

Me too.

We're all in, sir.

Thank you, soldiers.

How are we getting into that depot?

Caught wearing a German uniform,

you're going to be executed.

That's right, Monsieur.

If you want to back out, I understand.

Now is the time to speak up.

We're not backing out now, sir.

Good.

Do either of you know

how to drive a tank?

I know how to drive a tractor, sir.

That'll work, soldier.

Ok... ok, it's just like a tractor.

Sir, let me get this straight...

we're just gonna drive into

The German depot and

find August and York?

I know it's not great,

but at least it's a plan.

So what are our chances?

50/50.

Either we succeed or we die.

Sir, what's the German word for starter?

Can this get worse?

This is pretty bad, kid.

What do you think they're gonna do?

I don't know...

You speak some German?

Yeah, you like that, Fritz?

My name is not Fritz.

But what I want is to know

what you're doing here.

It was a routine patrol.

I'd say you're a little bit lost.

Your patches... I like them.

It would look good on my

bomber jacket, wouldn't you say?

Tell me, what does the insignia mean?

It means we're the War Pigs.

Why?

We like to roll around in the mud.

Is that so?

Hey...

Where ya going, Fritz?

I'm not done talking to you, come here.

Hey, come here, hey don't!

Hey...

So that's the, uh, super weapon.

Yeah, that's it, just as

the Colonel described it...

But bigger.

I think you're up, sir.

Yeah.

Remember your training, soldiers.

Stay alert.

Yes sir.

Hang in there, kid!

You're doing great, you look fine!

I'm ok.

He punches like a girl.

It seems you're quite the little artist.

Tell me, why are you drawing this?

The real important stuff

is on the next page.

What is your objective here?

Why have they sent you?

I'd love to help but...

my hands are tied.

I'm going to give you one more chance.

Who sent you to spy on us, huh?

What did they send you to find?

Danke schoen.

Grosser fehler.

Believe me, the mistake is yours.

Hey... hey Fritzie, come over here.

Tough little army boy...

I'll be proud to wear your patch.

Heil Hitler.

What's going on?

Shhh...

Just sit tight, yeah?

Oh you're a gentlemen.

Were's the Lieutenant?

I don't know.

He's probably still looking

for August and York I guess.

Holy scheissen.

That doesn't sound good.

Sir... no sir, it is not.

We're not dead?

Not yet.

Good thing we had all

that rope training.

Hang in there, kid.

Well, thanks for keeping

me alive this long.

Pretty handy in a knife fight, sir.

I didn't think you'd come for us.

You ok?

Yeah.

You look like sh*t.

Sergeant.

You got a plan?

I do now.

You want this?

Let's get out of here.

What's going on up there, sir?

Not much.

Just waiting for the lieutenant

to bring back our boys.

Sir, are you ok?

Yes, I'm fine.

What are they saying?

They're saying... they're gonna

test fire the gun very soon.

It's operational?

Remember what I told you...

Don't say a word and you might

just make it out of here alive.

We've got a problem.

Moffatte, start her up.

Do not engage unless you have to.

That's our cue.

Now!

Now what?

Fire!

You can thank me later.

For what?

Germans.

Take that, you dirty kraut bastards!

In the half-track, everyone!

Move, go!

Preacher, we need to move now.

You got it, sir!

Move it!

Get in here, sir!

Close it up, that's an order, Sergeant!

Captain, take out that gun!

Captain, stop the tank, stop the tank!

Take the shot, take the shot!

Let's make it count.

I say that's a successful

mission, Captain.

That was a beautiful

bang of a shot, sir!

Get us out of here,

Preacher, get us out of here.

Division is gonna be

mighty happy with these.

You and your men are

quite the talk around town.

Thank you, sir.

So, you wanna talk to me?

Sir?

What the f*** went wrong out there?

I don't understand, sir.

Well, your orders, soldier,

were for a recon mission.

You weren't supposed to

destroy the f***ing gun.

Sir, the millipede gun was

operational, I made a judgment

Call and I was not about

to leave my men behind, sir.

You just thought to ignore

your orders, your mission,

Disrespect me?

I thought that might

be your answer, Captain.

You might need those to

go with your new rank.

Thank you, sir.

It also seems that somehow

your court marshal papers

Mysteriously disappeared.

Is that right, sir?

You bet your ass, soldier.

Division is very impressed

with you and your War Pigs.

They deserve that, sir.

They want to keep you

on as their commander.

It would be an honor.

Go celebrate, Captain.

Thank you, sir.

Hey soldier...

You were the right man for the job.

Now don't sew those on

too tight there, Corporal,

People are gonna think you just got 'em.

Alright, leave him be, Sarg,

the kid's earned his promotion.

Hey, I lost a tooth to

those kraut bastards.

You know, I got captured

too, where's my promotion?

You think you might be

officer material, Sergeant?

Nah, I ain't no "sir. "

We'll see.

It's a good day...

We didn't lose anyone.

And that's because you're the best squad

In the whole damn army.

I mean it.

Even with the two things that

can really screw up your day...

Officers and orders.

Cheers.

Salut.

Captain, huh?

To the War Pigs.

War Pigs!
