00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,280
...and come up with the appropriate
badge of rank.

177
00:20:53,360 --> 00:20:57,120
Anyway, congratulations.
Premature congratulations.

178
00:20:58,320 --> 00:20:59,720
You know...

179
00:21:00,360 --> 00:21:04,000
I think those stars look better
on a green shirt.

180
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:08,720
Did I ever tell you about the time I
designed a uniform for tank crewmen?

181
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,760
It was green leather,
it had red stripes...

182
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,640
...and sort of a row of brass buttons
down across here.

183
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,720
And topped off
by a gold football helmet.

184
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,120
The Army rejected it, of course.

185
00:21:24,360 --> 00:21:25,640
Goddamn, it was beautiful.

186
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:26,920
(WHISTLE BLOWS)

187
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,320
Lloyd Fredendall is just leaving.

188
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:06,920
George, there's one other thing I put
in my Kasserine report.

189
00:22:07,360 --> 00:22:09,960
Some of our boys
were just plain scared.

190
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:11,760
That's understandable.

191
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,640
Even the best foxhound is gun-shy
the first time out.

192
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:16,520
I can remember...

193
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,160
...when nothing frightened me
as much as the idea of...

194
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:21,800
...a bullet coming
straight for my nose.

195
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,960
I don't know why, but the image of a
bullet coming right for my nose...

196
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,400
...was more horrible
than any other possibility.

197
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,920
Well, I can understand that,
with such a handsome nose.

198
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,920
You want to know why this outfit
got the hell kicked out of it?

199
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,120
Blind man could see it in a minute.

200
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,160
They don't look like soldiers.
They don't act like soldiers.

201
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:43,920
Why should they fight like soldiers?

202
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,320
You're absolutely right.
The discipline's pretty poor.

203
00:22:48,120 --> 00:22:51,160
ln about 15 minutes we're going
to start turning these boys...

204
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,920
...into fanatics, razors.

205
00:22:54,120 --> 00:22:56,520
They'll lose their fear
of the Germans.

206
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,920
I hope to God they never lose
their fear of me.

207
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,320
Up bright and early, general?
Breakfast?

208
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,560
Have all my officers
finished breakfast?

209
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:26,760
We're open from 6 till 8.

210
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,360
Most of the officers are
just coming in, sir.

211
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,960
Please inform these officers
the mess hall is closed.

212
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,840
But, sir! It's only a quarter to 8.

213
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:39,560
From now on, you will open at 6
and no one will be admitted after 6: 15.

214
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,160
Where are your leggings?

215
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:45,000
Leggings? Well, hell, general, sir,
I'm a cook.

216
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,120
You're a soldier.

217
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:50,040
$20 fine.

218
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:56,120
Gentlemen...

219
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:58,920
...from this moment any man...

220
00:23:59,120 --> 00:24:02,120
...without leggings, without a helmet,
without a tie...

221
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:06,040
Any man with unshined shoes
or soiled uniform...

222
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:09,760
...is going to be skinned.

223
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,920
This is a barracks.
It's not a bordello.

224
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,480
(CHATTERING)

225
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,600
- Good morning.
- Good morning, sir.

226
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:22,400
Doctor.

227
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:23,640
Sir.

228
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,920
I understand you have two cases
of self-inflicted wounds.

229
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:29,440
Yes, sir, we do.

230
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:31,120
Get them out of here.

231
00:25:31,360 --> 00:25:33,640
One has developed a serious infection.

232
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,920
I don't care if he dies,
just get him out of here.

233
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,400
Doesn't belong in the same room
with men wounded in battle.

234
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,400
- I'll see that they're moved.
- One more thing.

235
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,800
There'll be no "battle fatigue. "
That's an order.

236
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,200
Battle fatigue is a free ride
to the hospital.

237
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,440
I'm not going to subsidize cowardice.

238
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:53,800
Yes, sir.

239
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,200
Doctor...
Where's your helmet?

240
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,000
I don't wear a helmet
in the hospital.

241
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:03,040
Start.

242
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,160
I can't use my stethoscope
when I'm wearing my helmet.

243
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:09,960
Well...

244
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,800
...then cut two holes in your helmet
so that you can.

245
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,400
And get those yellow-bellies
out of here, today.

246
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:27,760
Hold it.

247
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:29,800
Turn right, here.

248
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,000
The battlefield is ahead.

249
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,400
Don't argue.
I can smell a battlefield.

250
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,200
He was out here yesterday.

251
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,000
It's over there. Turn right, damn it.

252
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:21,200
It was here.

253
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,000
The battlefield was here.

254
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,600
The Carthaginians
defending the city...

255
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,960
...were attacked by three
Roman legions.

256
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:46,800
They were brave, but they
couldn't hold. They were massacred.

257
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:50,800
Arab women...

258
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:55,160
...stripped them of their tunics
and their swords and lances.

259
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,680
The soldiers lay naked in the sun...

260
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:03,760
...2000 years ago.

261
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:09,600
I was here.

262
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:15,960
You don't believe me.

263
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,160
You know what the poet said:

264
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,560
"Through the travail of ages

265
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,200
It's the pomp and toils of war

266
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:33,960
Have I fought and strove and perished

267
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,960
Countless times upon the star

268
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,400
As if through a glass and darkly

269
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,000
The age-old strife I see

270
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,000
Where I fought in many guises
Many names

271
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,200
But always me. "

272
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:03,760
You know who the poet was?

273
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:07,600
Me.

274
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,480
There's an opportunity
for us to mount an offensive.

275
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:16,680
We've concentrated on the flank...

276
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:18,760
...draw strength from the British.

277
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,160
It appears now that we could...

278
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:23,200
...split the African corridor.

279
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:24,840
Drive through Rommel to the sea.

280
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:28,000
I'm sorry, but that territory
has been reserved...

281
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:30,400
...for General Bernard Law Montgomery.

282
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,400
We're supposed to let him win this one
no matter what.

283
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,000
They're entitled to have their hero.

284
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,360
Montgomery did push Rommel
clear across North Africa.

285
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,720
What about the Americans?
Don't they need a hero too?

286
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,200
You have anybody in mind?

287
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,560
Air Vice-Marshal Coningham
is here with General Buford.

288
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:52,160
Excuse me, gentlemen...

289
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:57,160

what's happened to our air cover.

Harry.

291
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:01,240
How are you?

292
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,560
George. Good to see you.

293
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,400
- You know Arthur Coningham.
- Sir Arthur.

294
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:09,080
Delighted to see you.

295
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,160
I've heard so much about you.

296
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:21,360
Gentlemen, it appears there's been a
slight misunderstanding here...

297
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:23,600
...and Ike thought we should fix it.

298
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:25,800
No, no. No misunderstanding.

299
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:28,760
We're supposed to have Allied
air cover and we don't.

300
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,600
German planes are strafing my troops.

301
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:35,840
If I may say so, general, I'm afraid
your operation reports are inaccurate.

302
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:39,560
Report? Three days ago, the crowds
took off after my command car...

303
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:41,440
...ran my ass into a ditch.

304
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,680
My staff has assured me,
we have complete air supremacy...

305
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:46,560
...everywhere in the Mediterranean.

PATTON:
When I complained about air cover...

307
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,680
...you said our troops
were not battleworthy.

308
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:56,560
You spoke of the discredited practice
of using air force as an alibi...

309
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,600
...for lack of success on the ground.

310
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:03,400
I have to wet-nurse Montgomery,
I don't have to stand for that.

311
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:07,120
I sincerely apologize for that remark,
whoever made it.

312
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,760
And I promise you one thing, general:

313
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,160
You will see no more German planes.

314
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:23,400
(CHICKEN SQUAWKS)

315
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,880

By God, that's enough!

320
00:34:34,720 --> 00:34:36,760
Get that thing out of here!

00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:40,800
Come on, you bastards,
take a shot at me on the nose!

322
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:45,360
Get back in here, George! We need
a corps commander, not a casualty.

How'd you manage to stage that?

324
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:15,200
I don't know...

325
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:18,360
...but if I could find
the Nazis flying those things...

326
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:20,560
...I'd give them each a medal.

327
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,560
PATTON: Can't get over how cold
it gets in the desert.

328
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:45,960
Awfully cold, sir.

329
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,600

waiting for me.

You know...

332
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:27,560
...if I had my way, I'd send
that genius son of a bitch...

333
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:31,360
...an engraved invitation
in iambic pentameter:

334
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:35,320
A challenge in two stanzas
to meet me alone in the desert.

335
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:37,360
I'll deliver it.

336
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:43,360
Rommel in his tank and me in mine.

337
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,760
We'd stop about 20 paces.
We'd get out, we'd shake hands...

338
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,560
...then we'd button up and do battle,
just the two of us.

339
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,760
That battle would decide
the outcome of the war.

340
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,560
It's too bad jousting's
gone out of style.

341
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:02,400
It's like your poetry, general.

342
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,160
It isn't part of the 20th century.

put around this area.

If we don't, the Arabs will dig
them up for their clothes.

348
00:37:22,240 --> 00:37:23,560
Yes, sir.

349
00:37:24,240 --> 00:37:27,960
Our graves aren't gonna disappear
like everybody else's who fought here.

350
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:32,560
The Greeks, Romans, Carthaginians.

351
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,560
God, how I hate the 20th century.

352
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:58,200
General.

353
00:39:58,640 --> 00:39:59,840
General?

354
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:03,440
We intercepted a German radio message.

355
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:07,360
Rommel's 10th Panzer is going
to hit us near El Guettar.

356
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:14,760
Rommel, huh?

357
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:43,080
(BRAYS)

358
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:02,560
All my life...

359
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:07,560
...I've wanted to lead a lot of men
in a desperate battle.

360
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:15,960
Now I'm going to do it.

361
00:42:26,720 --> 00:42:27,760
Look.

362
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:03,160
Battalion strength at least.

363
00:44:22,720 --> 00:44:25,160
They haven't spotted our positions yet.

364
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:29,040
They'll get an education
in about 10 seconds.

365
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:31,920
Wait till they get a dose of
that artillery fire.

366
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,480
Commence firing.
Fire at will.

367
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:54,360
Commence firing. Fire at will.
Commence firing. Fire at will.

368
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:54,480
What a hell of a waste
of fine infantry.

369
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:14,160
- Get General Bradley on the radio.
- Yes, sir.

370
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:33,760
Sir, I can't raise him.

371
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:37,320
Go tell him to hit them hard. Here's
where we hold them by the nose...

372
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:39,360
...and kick them in the ass.
Go on.

373
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:53,160
Put him in my car.

...you magnificent bastard.

was a fine boy.

378
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:19,880
Loyal, unselfish and efficient.

379
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:25,080
I am terribly sorry.

380
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:37,080
There are no coffins here
since there is no wood.

381
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:40,680
We will have a trumpeter
and an honor guard...

382
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:45,080
...but we will not fire the volleys as
people would think an air raid was on.

383
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:04,880
I enclosed a lock of Dick's hair
in a letter to his mother.

384
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:08,520
He was a fine man...

385
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:10,760
...and a fine officer.

386
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:13,680
And he had no vices.

387
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:23,880
I shall miss him a lot.

388
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:37,680
I can 't see the reason
such fine young men get killed.

389

...continues to lead his
victorious British 8th Army...

396
00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:24,080
...in a relentless drive against
Rommel's vaunted Africa corps.

(SPEAKS IN GERMAN)

398
00:54:21,720 --> 00:54:24,880
General Bradley's done
a tremendous job with 2nd Corps.

399
00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:28,280
He's moved into Bizerte
and taken over 41,000 prisoners.

400
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:29,880
Good. Very good.

401
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:34,480
You're not surprised, are you?
After all, you trained that outfit.

402
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:40,560
- Excuse me, general.
- Hm?

403
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:45,280
This is interesting. We've discovered
Rommel wasn't present at El Guettar.

404
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:48,080
- Who says so?
- G2, sir.

405
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:53,480
When we took 10th Panzer,
Rommel was in Berlin with an earache?

406
00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:55,760
Severe nasal diphtheria, sir.

407
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:58,600
Also, Hitler probably
retained Rommel in Berlin...

408
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:01,080
...because things were going badly
for the Africa Corps.

409
00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:03,880
He didn't want his favorite general
to lose face.

410
00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:06,560
I'm my favorite general,
and I don't like to be told...

411
00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:10,280
...that some second-stringer
is up against me. Then I lose face.

412
00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:19,280
Who the hell are you, anyway?

413
00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:22,880
CARVER: General, this is Lieutenant
Colonel Codman. Your new aide.

414
00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:26,680
Codman. I pulled your name off
the list because I know your family.

415
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:28,000
I'm glad you did, sir.

416
00:55:28,240 --> 00:55:31,760
Rommel is the best the krauts have,
and I kicked the hell out of him.

417
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:34,800
Now my own G2 section is telling
me he wasn't even there.

418
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:39,080
But, general, he undoubtedly
planned the German battle.

419
00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:44,280
If you defeat Rommel's plan, you've
defeated Rommel. lsn't that true?

420
00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:46,880
Codman...

421
00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:51,480
- Have a drink with me tonight.
- Yes, sir.

422
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:54,480
I have a plan
for the invasion of Sicily.

423
00:55:54,720 --> 00:55:58,480
I want to make sure I get it approved.
You can help me.

424
00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:01,240
I want to give a dinner
for General Alexander.

425
00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:02,880
Get to him before Montgomery does.

426
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:08,160
This will be strictly a formal affair,
Codman, but purely social.

427
00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:09,880
By that I mean...

428
00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:12,160
- ...purely political.
- Yes, sir.

429
00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:15,080

available. Everything, comme il faut.

Thank you.

437
00:56:56,280 --> 00:57:00,480
Sir Harold, I think it was Alcibiades
in the Peloponnesian War...

438
00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:02,280
...415 B.C.

439
00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:06,280
He said, "If Syracuse falls, all
Sicily falls, and then Italy. "

440
00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:09,880
He knew that Syracuse was the
jugular of the island.

441
00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:12,800
Old Alcibiades always went
for the throat.

442
00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:15,040
I propose to take Sicily
in the same way.

443
00:57:15,240 --> 00:57:18,320
- How's it going?
- The old man has them in his pocket.

Now, according to my plan...

445

...General Montgomery will land here.

00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:30,280
I'll hit the beaches here,
take Palermo.

447
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:33,760
Monty will drive north on the coast,
I'll come due east...

448
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:36,560
...take Messina and cut off
the German escape route.

449
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:38,440
Yes...

450
00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:40,800
It looks like an interesting plan.

To Sicily!

454

George, you'd have made a great
marshal for Napoleon...

...if you'd lived in the 18th century.

456
00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:57,680

- Ah, there you are, Bedell.
- Monty.

460
00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:51,360

thought to the Sicily operation.

461
00:58:51,600 --> 00:58:52,680
Yes?

462
00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:55,080
I assume we're alone.

463
00:58:55,280 --> 00:58:58,560
Georgie Patton has already
discussed his plan with Alexander.

464
00:58:58,800 --> 00:58:59,880
I realize that...

465
00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:03,880
...but I have an idea that his plan
may lead to an absolute disaster.

466
00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:05,280
Oh?

467
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:09,960
Bedell, look.

468
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:12,360
This is Sicily.

469
00:59:13,080 --> 00:59:15,880
Now then, according to Patton's plan...

470
00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:18,480
...I will attack Syracuse here.

471
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:21,080
And he would attack Palermo up here.

472
00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:23,560
Now, obviously our forces would be
divided.

473
00:59:23,800 --> 00:59:26,400
And obviously, they
could be chopped up piecemeal.

474
00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:31,120
Now then, what I propose, and what
I shall insist on, by the way...

475
00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:32,520
...is this.

476
00:59:33,360 --> 00:59:34,320
(MONTGOMERY EXHALES)

477
00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:37,320
I will land at Syracuse as planned.

478
00:59:37,520 --> 00:59:41,080
But the Americans-
The Americans will land here, at Gela.

479
00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:46,120
I will advance north to Messina,
the Americans protecting my flank.

480
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:49,160
After all, Messina is the key.

481
00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:51,880
It's the reason for invading Sicily.

482
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:55,480
I'll discuss your plan with Ike.

483
00:59:56,400 --> 00:59:59,080
I'm sure he'll give it
serious consideration.

484
01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:05,400
- Amusing, isn't it?
- What?

485
01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:07,280
That the plans for the
invasion of Sicily...

486
01:00:07,520 --> 01:00:10,280
...should have been put forward
in an Algerian lavatory.

487
01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:13,880
George, I have bad news for you
about your Sicily plan.

488
01:00:14,120 --> 01:00:16,080
Ike has turned it down.

489
01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:20,680
Since the Italians will be defending
their native soil for the first time...

490
01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:25,280
...and the German resistance is
stiffening, we shouldn't be divided.

491
01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:29,840
- Well, where do my people land then?
- In the Gulf of Gela.

492
01:00:30,040 --> 01:00:31,600
There's nothing there
but a beach.

493
01:00:31,840 --> 01:00:35,680
Yes, but it puts you in a good
position to support Montgomery.

494
01:00:36,720 --> 01:00:38,360
Where does Montgomery land?

495
01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:42,680
He'll land in Syracuse and drive north
to Catania. Possibly even Messina.

496
01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:46,080
And you'll be alongside,
protecting his left.

497
01:00:46,560 --> 01:00:47,680
I see.

498
01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:53,760
ln other words, we get the burden again
while good old Monty gets the glory.

499
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:56,680
Ike had to consider all points of view.

500
01:00:56,880 --> 01:01:00,080
He made his decision not as an
American, but as an Ally.

501
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:04,280
Had it been the other way around,
I assure you, Monty would protest.

502
01:01:05,560 --> 01:01:06,680
No...

503
01:01:08,120 --> 01:01:10,280
...I've been in the Army 30 years.

504
01:01:10,640 --> 01:01:14,880
When I get an order, I say, "Yes, sir. "
And I do my best to carry it out.

505
01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:22,760
This is what happens when your
commander stops being an American...

506
01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:25,080
...and starts being an Ally.

507
01:02:33,240 --> 01:02:35,400
I don't think I've made
myself clear, sir.

508
01:02:35,640 --> 01:02:39,080
It's true, Montgomery met the
toughest resistance there at Catania.

509
01:02:39,280 --> 01:02:40,200
However, if we're-

510
01:02:40,440 --> 01:02:41,800
Perfectly clear.

511
01:02:42,040 --> 01:02:45,920
Old Monty is as stuck
as a bug on flypaper.

512
01:02:46,720 --> 01:02:48,760
But this order from
General Alexander...

513
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:52,680
...directing you to turn over the
Vizzini-Caltagirone road to Montgomery.

514
01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:56,280
Well, then, old Bradley will have to
slug- slug, mind you...

515
01:02:56,480 --> 01:03:01,080
...his way up center of the island over
those tough mountain roads, won't he?

516
01:03:01,320 --> 01:03:02,480
Yes, sir.

517
01:03:02,880 --> 01:03:04,680
Messina, Bell.

518
01:03:05,200 --> 01:03:06,280
Messina...

519
01:03:07,280 --> 01:03:10,200
...is the heart of it. If they'd
followed my plan, I'd be there by now.

520
01:03:10,400 --> 01:03:13,680
I'd cut off the retreat of every
German on this island!

521
01:03:14,680 --> 01:03:16,560
Now, you know what I'm gonna do?

522
01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:18,080
I'm gonna go to Palermo.

523
01:03:18,320 --> 01:03:22,160
I'm gonna beat that limey at Messina
if it's the last thing I ever do!

524
01:03:22,360 --> 01:03:26,680
Hey, what's all this talk about taking
the Vizzini road away from 2nd Corps?

525
01:03:29,920 --> 01:03:32,680
General Alexander's orders.
Road goes to Montgomery.

526
01:03:32,920 --> 01:03:35,480
Now, that road was assigned to me.

527
01:03:36,200 --> 01:03:38,880
How can I get north without it?
You know the terrain there.

528
01:03:39,080 --> 01:03:43,080
I'm sorry, Brad. But Monty's run
into tough opposition. Very tough.

529
01:03:45,480 --> 01:03:49,000
You wouldn't be taking advantage of
this situation, would you?

530
01:03:49,240 --> 01:03:50,680
I don't know what you're talking about.

531
01:03:50,920 --> 01:03:53,960
Without that road, your army,
except for my 2nd Corps...

532
01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:55,480
...would be out of a job.

533
01:03:56,000 --> 01:03:58,000
Free for you to go into Palermo.

534
01:03:58,240 --> 01:04:00,280
Who said anything about Palermo?

535
01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:03,480
I can read a map.

536
01:04:04,480 --> 01:04:06,880
Does Alexander know
you've pushed out this far?

537
01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:09,680
That's a reconnaissance in force.

538
01:04:12,520 --> 01:04:13,680
George...

539
01:04:15,520 --> 01:04:17,760
...are you saying I've got to slug
it out in those mountains...

540
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:20,080
...with heavy resistance?

541
01:04:20,600 --> 01:04:23,480
Just so you can make
a bigger splash than Monty?

542
01:04:24,040 --> 01:04:25,280
General...

543
01:04:26,160 --> 01:04:28,200
...I just follow my orders.

544
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:30,880
Like the simple old soldier I am.

545
01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:33,280
General Bradley.

546
01:04:34,320 --> 01:04:37,280
Sir, General Alexander has heard
we're moving west.

547
01:04:37,520 --> 01:04:41,680
He says here, "Stop immediately.
Go no farther than Agrigento.

548
01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:44,680
Repeat. Stop, immediately. "

549
01:04:45,400 --> 01:04:47,480
That's what you think it says.

550
01:04:47,840 --> 01:04:50,680
I think it was garbled
in transmission.

551
01:04:50,920 --> 01:04:53,360
Ask them to re-transmit the message.

552
01:04:53,600 --> 01:04:55,680
That'll take half a day at least.

553
01:04:55,880 --> 01:04:56,920
Yes, sir.

554
01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:02,480
Now, Brad.

555
01:05:05,080 --> 01:05:06,480
Where were we?

556
01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:10,880
We were talking about a simple...

557
01:05:11,080 --> 01:05:12,680
...old soldier.

558
01:05:41,880 --> 01:05:43,280
Look at that, gentlemen.

559
01:05:45,520 --> 01:05:47,280
Compared to war...

560
01:05:47,720 --> 01:05:50,880
...all other forms of human endeavor
shrink to insignificance.

561
01:05:51,680 --> 01:05:53,880
Let's go, sergeant.
Move out!

562
01:06:41,520 --> 01:06:43,480
Give me that helmet.

563
01:06:45,960 --> 01:06:47,680
Come on, let's get out of here!

564
01:06:59,480 --> 01:07:01,680
What silly son of a bitch
is in charge of this operation?

565
01:07:01,920 --> 01:07:04,480
I don't know, but they
ought to hang him.

566
01:07:16,080 --> 01:07:17,440
PATTON:
Afternoon, Padre.

567
01:07:17,640 --> 01:07:20,160
PADRE: These men are here from the
States, looking over our program...

568
01:07:20,400 --> 01:07:22,120
...for the spiritual welfare
of the men.

569
01:07:22,320 --> 01:07:23,960
We'll take you right into Palermo.

570
01:07:24,200 --> 01:07:26,240
Col. David toured us around
your quarters...

571
01:07:26,520 --> 01:07:31,040
...and I saw a Bible by your bed.
Do you actually find time to read it?

572
01:07:31,720 --> 01:07:33,000
I sure do.

573
01:07:33,240 --> 01:07:35,040
Every goddamn day.

574
01:07:57,080 --> 01:07:59,440
Sir, Patton's taken Palermo!

575
01:08:00,600 --> 01:08:01,400
Damn!

576
01:08:01,640 --> 01:08:04,080
(CHEERING)

577
01:08:11,040 --> 01:08:13,840
(BAND PLAYS)

578
01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:21,560
Palermo's the most conquered city
in history.

579
01:08:21,840 --> 01:08:23,640
First the Phoenicians...

580
01:08:24,080 --> 01:08:27,440
...the Romans,
Carthaginians, Byzantines.

581
01:08:27,720 --> 01:08:29,360
Then came the Arabs...

582
01:08:29,640 --> 01:08:32,040
...Spaniards, Neapolitans.

583
01:08:32,280 --> 01:08:33,680
Now comes...

584
01:08:33,880 --> 01:08:35,680
...the American Army.

585
01:08:45,440 --> 01:08:47,320
This is from General Alexander, sir...

586
01:08:47,600 --> 01:08:50,640
...reminding you that you are
not to take Palermo.

587
01:08:51,240 --> 01:08:53,280
Send him a message, Cod.

588
01:08:53,560 --> 01:08:55,680
Ask him if he
wants me to give it back.

589
01:09:40,280 --> 01:09:41,840
PATTON: Let me ask you a question
for a change.

590
01:09:42,120 --> 01:09:43,920
You've just come from Washington.

591
01:09:44,240 --> 01:09:46,560
How do they feel about our boys
taking Palermo?

592
01:09:46,840 --> 01:09:50,880
The general impression is, your army
barreled through token resistance...

593
01:09:51,120 --> 01:09:53,360
...while Montgomery faced the brunt
of the fighting.

594
01:09:53,640 --> 01:09:56,280
Don't they know we took on
the Hermann Göring division?

595
01:09:56,520 --> 01:09:57,840
Toughest outfit in the German Army.

596
01:09:58,120 --> 01:10:00,080
The people at home
are interested in you.

597
01:10:00,320 --> 01:10:02,440
They're curious about your
pearl-handle revolvers.

598
01:10:02,680 --> 01:10:05,640
They're ivory. Only a pimp
from a New Orleans whorehouse...

599
01:10:05,920 --> 01:10:07,440
...would carry a pearl handle.

600
01:10:07,680 --> 01:10:09,240
What about your language?

601
01:10:09,520 --> 01:10:12,440
When I want it to stick,
I give it to them loud and dirty.

602
01:10:12,720 --> 01:10:14,440
What do your troops feel about that?

603
01:10:14,720 --> 01:10:17,920
I don't want these men to love me.
I want them to fight for me.

604
01:10:18,320 --> 01:10:22,280
Ernie Pyle says you have a secret
weapon here: General Bradley.

605
01:10:22,480 --> 01:10:24,240
Ernie calls him "The GI General. "

606
01:10:24,480 --> 01:10:27,440
Omar Bradley is no secret.
He's a damn fine commander.

607
01:10:27,720 --> 01:10:29,840
MAN:
What's your feeling about Montgomery?

608
01:10:30,120 --> 01:10:32,160
PATTON:
He's the best general the English have.

609
01:10:32,400 --> 01:10:35,840
He seems more concerned with not
losing than he does about winning.

610
01:10:36,120 --> 01:10:39,040
He's not aggressive enough,
is that correct?

611
01:10:39,600 --> 01:10:42,240
Look, I've been getting into
a lot of trouble lately.

612
01:10:42,480 --> 01:10:45,320
Yesterday, the office told me
that my Italian prisoners...

613
01:10:45,600 --> 01:10:47,280
...didn't have enough latrine.

614
01:10:47,880 --> 01:10:50,760
They didn't know what a
latrine was till I showed them.

615
01:10:51,040 --> 01:10:54,240
If I've said anything too critical
of my British colleague...

616
01:10:54,440 --> 01:10:55,720
...let's forget about it.

617
01:10:55,960 --> 01:10:58,840
I will tell you one thing, though.
Off the record.

618
01:10:59,640 --> 01:11:01,240
I'm gonna beat that...

619
01:11:01,440 --> 01:11:03,240
...gentleman to Messina.

620
01:11:11,160 --> 01:11:14,440
Ah, Freddie. Do you realize what
this madman Patton is saying?

621
01:11:14,720 --> 01:11:16,840
He's going to save our skins
by taking Messina.

622
01:11:17,080 --> 01:11:19,040
This report might interest you.

623
01:11:19,280 --> 01:11:22,720
Here I am in these bloody marshes,
fighting malaria and Germans...

624
01:11:22,960 --> 01:11:26,160
...while he's taking Palermo
and getting all the glory.

625
01:11:27,920 --> 01:11:29,040
Well!

626
01:11:29,240 --> 01:11:32,840
Now he's up against three good
German divisions and he's stuck.

627
01:11:33,080 --> 01:11:34,760
He's not going to get Messina.

628
01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:38,240
That's reserved for the
British 8th Army and me.

629
01:11:39,360 --> 01:11:41,120
(BOMBS EXPLODING)

630
01:11:44,520 --> 01:11:48,640
It's time for a move, Lucian. Terry
Allen's 1 st Division is bogged down.

631
01:11:48,880 --> 01:11:50,440
You're bogged down too.

632
01:11:50,680 --> 01:11:53,840
What we need is another end run
just to break things loose.

633
01:11:55,280 --> 01:11:58,240
- Lucian. How's my fighter?
- Fine, George.

634
01:11:58,560 --> 01:12:02,640
Come in, come in. We need another
one of your amphibious specialties.

635
01:12:05,720 --> 01:12:09,720
Lucian, I want you to send a
reinforced battalion by sea...

636
01:12:09,960 --> 01:12:13,240
...to make a landing up here at Brolo
behind the kraut lines.

637
01:12:13,480 --> 01:12:15,760
You want me to do a land-based attack.

638
01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:19,160
Right. I want a coordinated
attack the morning of the 11 th.

639
01:12:19,400 --> 01:12:21,520
I don't think we can make it
by the 11 th.

640
01:12:21,760 --> 01:12:26,440
- Hell, it's only 15, 20 miles.
- My boys have been dying for yards.

641
01:12:27,400 --> 01:12:28,560
Hm.

642
01:12:28,960 --> 01:12:31,760
Maybe you better kick a few butts
if you have to.

643
01:12:32,720 --> 01:12:35,560
I recommended you for your DSM
in your last promotion.

644
01:12:35,760 --> 01:12:38,160
I know what you can do when
you put your mind to it.

645
01:12:38,720 --> 01:12:40,360
Excuse me, sir.

646
01:12:41,600 --> 01:12:44,560
I'm sorry, but I can't
do the impossible.

647
01:12:45,760 --> 01:12:49,360
You're too old an athlete to think
you can postpone a scheduled match.

648
01:12:49,560 --> 01:12:53,000
You're an old athlete yourself.
You know matches are postponed.

649
01:12:53,240 --> 01:12:57,360
If we can't back Lucian up by land,
our end run could be a disaster.

650
01:12:57,560 --> 01:13:01,360
Those men might get caught
on the beach and cut to pieces.

651
01:13:01,560 --> 01:13:04,040
- What's the matter?
BRADLEY: All we're saying is...

652
01:13:04,240 --> 01:13:06,800
...not to rush in until we're ready.

653
01:13:07,040 --> 01:13:08,760
Give him an extra day.

654
01:13:08,960 --> 01:13:10,320
Just one more day.

655
01:13:10,680 --> 01:13:12,560
The landing is on.

656
01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:14,160
We're going to Messina.

657
01:13:14,520 --> 01:13:17,760
We're going to get there before
Montgomery does.

658
01:13:17,960 --> 01:13:22,280
- What's so important about that?
- General Truscott...

659
01:13:22,520 --> 01:13:26,080
...if your conscience won't permit
you to conduct this operation...

660
01:13:26,280 --> 01:13:27,880
...I'll find somebody who can.

661
01:13:28,080 --> 01:13:32,960
General, it's your privilege to
relieve me anytime you want to.

662
01:13:33,160 --> 01:13:36,160
This match will not be postponed.

663
01:13:38,280 --> 01:13:39,440
Any questions?

664
01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:46,120
No, sir.

665
01:13:46,520 --> 01:13:48,960
You're a very good man, Lucian.

666
01:13:49,200 --> 01:13:51,960
You want to guard against
being too conservative.

667
01:13:52,160 --> 01:13:54,320
Remember what
Frederick the Great said:

668
01:13:54,520 --> 01:13:59,000
''L 'audace, I'audace!
Toujours I'audace!''

669
01:14:00,920 --> 01:14:02,760
Go on, have a drink.

670
01:14:03,880 --> 01:14:08,760
Excuse me, sir, I won't be drinking
for the next couple of days.

671
01:14:12,240 --> 01:14:15,600
If anything happens to those men,
I'd like to be there with them.

672
01:14:18,480 --> 01:14:20,760
You're not going, so forget about it.

673
01:14:22,360 --> 01:14:24,760
You believe Truscott's right?

674
01:14:25,560 --> 01:14:26,800
No.

675
01:14:28,280 --> 01:14:30,880
But you're gambling
with those boys' lives...

676
01:14:31,080 --> 01:14:33,560
...just to beat Montgomery
into Messina.

677
01:14:34,680 --> 01:14:37,960
If you pull it off, you're a hero,
but if you don't...

678
01:14:38,800 --> 01:14:42,560
What happens to them?
The ordinary combat soldier.

679
01:14:43,320 --> 01:14:47,160
He doesn't share in your dreams
of glory, he's stuck here.

680
01:14:47,880 --> 01:14:52,560
He's living out every day, day-to-day,
with death tugging at his elbow.

681
01:14:56,280 --> 01:14:59,360
There's one big difference
between you and me, George.

682
01:15:01,160 --> 01:15:03,960
I do this job because I've been
trained to do it.

683
01:15:04,680 --> 01:15:06,360
You do it because...

684
01:15:08,400 --> 01:15:09,960
...you love it.

685
01:15:25,400 --> 01:15:28,080
The men on the beach are
catching hell, general.

686
01:15:28,320 --> 01:15:31,800
The men are doing their best.
We have no replacements.

687
01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:34,440
I can't break through to the coast.

688
01:15:34,680 --> 01:15:36,560
I'm going down there myself.

689
01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:52,360
PATTON:
Colonel!

690
01:15:53,400 --> 01:15:55,080
How did he get over there?

691
01:15:55,360 --> 01:15:57,160
PATTON:
What the hell are you waiting for?

692
01:15:57,360 --> 01:16:00,760
Looking for a place to ford, general.

693
01:16:00,960 --> 01:16:02,880
I sent a patrol to reconnoiter.

694
01:16:03,080 --> 01:16:07,360
PATTON: I've done that. Down there
this sewer's no more than 3 feet deep.

695
01:16:07,560 --> 01:16:10,560
Get that outfit cranked up
or you'll be out of a job!

696
01:16:12,560 --> 01:16:15,560
- And put that helmet on.
- Yes, sir.

697
01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:32,040
Move it! Let's go!

698
01:16:41,520 --> 01:16:44,880
- What's holding up this column?
- I don't know, sir.

699
01:16:45,080 --> 01:16:46,160
Planes!

700
01:16:50,360 --> 01:16:51,760
Come on, move it!

701
01:17:14,120 --> 01:17:15,560
Pull up over there.

702
01:17:21,600 --> 01:17:23,160
- Come on.
- What's going on here?

703
01:17:23,360 --> 01:17:24,240
Sir, these mules-

704
01:17:24,440 --> 01:17:25,440
Jackasses!

705
01:17:25,800 --> 01:17:30,080
You let a column get stalled and
strafed on account of two jackasses?!

706
01:17:32,800 --> 01:17:34,080
(GUNSHOT)

707
01:17:34,280 --> 01:17:35,960
No. No.

708
01:17:43,360 --> 01:17:46,160
Now, dump them over the side
and clear this bridge!

709
01:18:31,440 --> 01:18:34,200
We're pinned down because
we can't get air support!

710
01:18:34,440 --> 01:18:36,440
Nobody's getting any air support!

711
01:18:36,640 --> 01:18:39,720
Put fire into this battalion,
or I'll get somebody who can.

712
01:18:39,920 --> 01:18:41,160
Major!

713
01:18:41,600 --> 01:18:43,200
- You the executive officer here?
- Yes, sir.

714
01:18:43,400 --> 01:18:44,680
- Your name?
- WaIker.

715
01:18:44,880 --> 01:18:46,520
You're now commanding officer.

716
01:18:46,720 --> 01:18:49,040
You've got 4 hours to break through
that beachhead.

717
01:18:49,240 --> 01:18:51,160
If you don't make it, I'll fire you.

718
01:18:59,960 --> 01:19:04,600
50,000 men on this island would
like to shoot that son of a bitch.

719
01:19:38,400 --> 01:19:41,600
Please take me home.
Take me home.

720
01:19:42,440 --> 01:19:45,000
Please take me home.
Take me home.

721
01:20:07,840 --> 01:20:12,760
- There he goes, "Old Blood and Guts. "
- Yeah, our blood. His guts.

722
01:20:19,840 --> 01:20:21,200
Hi, how are you, son?

723
01:20:28,760 --> 01:20:30,480
Where are you from, Gomez?

724
01:20:31,800 --> 01:20:33,640
California, sir.

725
01:20:33,840 --> 01:20:35,400
Me too.

726
01:20:35,840 --> 01:20:39,600
- Where were you hit?
- In the chest, sir.

727
01:20:40,160 --> 01:20:41,400
Well...

728
01:20:41,840 --> 01:20:46,760
...this might be interesting to you.
The last German I saw had no chest.

729
01:20:47,240 --> 01:20:49,000
Didn't have any head either.

730
01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:52,800
You get well quickly, son.

731
01:21:57,600 --> 01:22:01,240
(INDISTINCT)

732
01:22:42,480 --> 01:22:44,600
(SOLDIER CRIES)

733
01:22:44,840 --> 01:22:46,400
What's the matter with you?

734
01:22:50,200 --> 01:22:53,000
I guess I just can't take it, sir.

735
01:22:56,840 --> 01:22:58,200
What did you say?

736
01:23:01,560 --> 01:23:03,400
It's my nerves, sir.

737
01:23:04,840 --> 01:23:07,600
I just can't stand
the shelling anymore.

738
01:23:10,040 --> 01:23:11,800
Your nerves?

739
01:23:13,560 --> 01:23:16,400
Hell, you're just a goddamn coward.

740
01:23:18,760 --> 01:23:20,000
Shut up!

741
01:23:22,160 --> 01:23:24,400
I won't have
a yellow bastard crying...

742
01:23:24,800 --> 01:23:27,000
...in front of these
brave, wounded men.

743
01:23:30,240 --> 01:23:31,600
Shut up!

744
01:23:34,240 --> 01:23:37,800
Don't admit this yellow bastard.
Nothing wrong with him.

745
01:23:38,040 --> 01:23:42,560
I won't have sons of bitches afraid to
fight stink up this place of honor.

746
01:23:43,120 --> 01:23:45,600
You're going back to the front,
my friend.

747
01:23:45,800 --> 01:23:50,280
You may get shot, you may get killed,
but you're going up to the fighting.

748
01:23:50,840 --> 01:23:54,240
Either that or I'll stand you up
in front of a firing squad.

749
01:23:54,640 --> 01:23:58,600
I should shoot you myself,
you bastard! Get him out of here!

750
01:24:00,800 --> 01:24:02,200
Send him up to the front!

751
01:24:02,440 --> 01:24:06,400
You hear me? You goddamn coward!

752
01:24:15,120 --> 01:24:17,200
I won't have cowards in my army.

753
01:24:46,440 --> 01:24:47,880
I had to kick a few butts...

754
01:24:48,080 --> 01:24:52,120
...but Truscott finally broke through
to those people on the beach.

755
01:24:52,360 --> 01:24:54,400
Have you seen the casualty lists?

756
01:24:55,120 --> 01:24:56,600
Yes, I've seen them.

757
01:24:57,440 --> 01:24:59,080
What's the word from the coast road?

758
01:24:59,280 --> 01:25:02,040
The 3rd Division's east of Brolo,
heading toward Messina.

759
01:25:02,240 --> 01:25:05,560
Let's get over there.
I want to go in with the troops.

760
01:25:05,760 --> 01:25:08,600
You go ahead, George.
I'm not very good at that.

761
01:25:10,320 --> 01:25:11,800
General Bradley...

762
01:25:12,000 --> 01:25:15,360
...it's time to consider how many
casualties we'd have...

763
01:25:15,560 --> 01:25:18,800
...if we were still crawling on
that goddamn road.

764
01:26:41,840 --> 01:26:43,800
Forward, march!

765
01:27:01,440 --> 01:27:03,320
Don't smirk, Patton.
I shan't kiss you.

766
01:27:04,440 --> 01:27:09,360
Pity. I shaved close this morning
to prepare for getting smacked by you.

767
01:27:17,760 --> 01:27:19,600
Forward, march!

768
01:27:53,040 --> 01:27:55,000
You wanted to see me, George?

769
01:27:57,520 --> 01:27:59,400
Got a letter here from Ike.

770
01:28:07,720 --> 01:28:10,800
I was rereading Caesar's
Commentaries last night.

771
01:28:13,360 --> 01:28:17,960
In battle, Caesar wore a red robe to
distinguish him from his men.

772
01:28:18,160 --> 01:28:20,600
I was struck by that fact because-

773
01:28:23,240 --> 01:28:26,800
"Despicable. " First time anybody's
ever applied that word to me.

774
01:28:27,080 --> 01:28:31,200
Well, at least it's a personal
reprimand, it's not official.

775
01:28:31,440 --> 01:28:34,800
The man was yellow. He should've
been tried for cowardice and shot.

776
01:28:35,040 --> 01:28:39,240
People have taken a lot worse
than a little kick in the pants.

777
01:28:39,480 --> 01:28:42,800
I ruffled his pride a bit.
What's that compared to war?

778
01:28:43,440 --> 01:28:47,360
Two weeks ago at Palermo they said
I was the greatest general...

779
01:28:47,560 --> 01:28:51,760
- ...since Stonewall Jackson.
- Now they draw cartoons about you.

780
01:28:51,960 --> 01:28:53,800
Dirty bastard!

781
01:28:54,240 --> 01:28:58,200
They got me holding a little Gl
and kicking him with an iron boot.

782
01:28:58,400 --> 01:29:00,800
You see that, what's on my boot?
A swastika.

783
01:29:01,040 --> 01:29:04,200
On my boot.
An iron boot with a swastika!

784
01:29:08,520 --> 01:29:11,800
"You will apologize to the soldier
you slapped...

785
01:29:12,400 --> 01:29:16,480
...to all doctors and nurses present
in the tent at the time...

786
01:29:16,720 --> 01:29:19,640
...to every patient in the tent
who can be reached...

787
01:29:20,040 --> 01:29:23,280
...and last but not least
to the 7th Army as a whole...

788
01:29:23,640 --> 01:29:26,400
...through individual units,
one at a time. "

789
01:29:31,360 --> 01:29:32,800
God, I...

790
01:29:34,440 --> 01:29:36,000
...feel low.

791
01:29:42,760 --> 01:29:44,200
PATTON:
Oh, God...

792
01:29:44,440 --> 01:29:46,240
... Thou art my God.

793
01:29:47,200 --> 01:29:49,200
Early will I seek Thee.

794
01:29:49,840 --> 01:29:52,800
My soul thirsteth for Thee.

795
01:29:53,040 --> 01:29:57,320
My flesh longeth for Thee
in a dry and thirsty land.

796
01:29:57,560 --> 01:30:01,000
So as I have seen Thee
in the sanctuary.

797
01:30:01,200 --> 01:30:04,280
My soul followeth hard after Thee.

798
01:30:05,200 --> 01:30:09,080
But those that seek my soul
to destroy it...

799
01:30:09,280 --> 01:30:12,600
...shall go into the lower parts
of the earth.

800
01:30:13,240 --> 01:30:16,360
They shall fall by the sword.

801
01:30:16,560 --> 01:30:20,200
They shall be apportioned for foxes.

802
01:30:21,240 --> 01:30:24,200
But the king shall rejoice in God.

803
01:30:25,000 --> 01:30:28,320
Everyone that sweareth by him
shall glory.

804
01:30:29,040 --> 01:30:33,200
But the mouth of them
that speak lies...

805
01:30:33,840 --> 01:30:36,040
...shall be stopped.

806
01:30:40,160 --> 01:30:42,320
Ten-hut!

807
01:30:44,320 --> 01:30:45,600
PATTON:
At ease.

808
01:30:57,800 --> 01:31:01,000
I thought I'd stand up here
and let you people see...

809
01:31:02,800 --> 01:31:06,800
...if I am as big a son of a bitch
as some of you think I am.

810
01:31:11,440 --> 01:31:14,000
I assure you I had no intention...

811
01:31:14,840 --> 01:31:18,600
...of being either harsh or cruel
in my treatment of the...

812
01:31:19,160 --> 01:31:20,760
...soldier in question.

813
01:31:25,560 --> 01:31:28,040
My sole purpose was to try
to restore in him...

814
01:31:28,240 --> 01:31:31,200
...some appreciation of his
obligations as a man...

815
01:31:32,720 --> 01:31:34,400
...and as a soldier.

816
01:31:36,240 --> 01:31:38,320
If one can shame a coward...

817
01:31:40,040 --> 01:31:44,200
...I felt one might help him
to regain his self-respect.

818
01:31:46,640 --> 01:31:48,160
This was on my mind.

819
01:31:50,400 --> 01:31:52,800
Now, I freely admit...

820
01:31:53,000 --> 01:31:55,000
...that my method was wrong...

821
01:31:55,880 --> 01:31:58,040
...but I hope you understand
my motive...

822
01:31:59,400 --> 01:32:01,400
...and will accept this...

823
01:32:01,920 --> 01:32:03,600
...explanation...

824
01:32:05,200 --> 01:32:06,600
...and this...

825
01:32:08,600 --> 01:32:09,800
...apology.

826
01:32:11,960 --> 01:32:15,200
- Dismissed.
- Ten-hut!

827
01:32:21,040 --> 01:32:24,800
Good evening, general. I want to
report on a private poll I'm taking.

828
01:32:25,000 --> 01:32:26,000
What poll?

829
01:32:26,200 --> 01:32:27,320
The fan mail.

830
01:32:27,560 --> 01:32:30,240
Eleven percent con,
89 percent pro.

831
01:32:30,440 --> 01:32:34,800
And that 11 % of protest, in most
cases, is both obscene and anonymous.

832
01:32:35,040 --> 01:32:38,600
But the pro letters are mostly from
relatives and servicemen.

833
01:32:38,800 --> 01:32:42,200
"I want you to know we're proud
our son is serving in your army.

834
01:32:42,440 --> 01:32:45,960
From the newspaper, we're not clear
exactly what you did and why...

835
01:32:46,400 --> 01:32:48,760
...but we want you to know
we're for you.

836
01:32:48,960 --> 01:32:50,720
Keep going, and God bless you. "

837
01:32:51,360 --> 01:32:53,040
Keep going, huh?

838
01:32:53,240 --> 01:32:54,600
Where?

839
01:32:58,200 --> 01:33:02,320
I thought you might like a sip
of wine, general. It's New Year's.

840
01:33:02,520 --> 01:33:04,600
You didn't celebrate at all
last night.

841
01:33:12,040 --> 01:33:14,400
I'm sick of sitting around this...

842
01:33:14,640 --> 01:33:16,760
...royal doghouse.

843
01:33:16,960 --> 01:33:19,800
We've taken Sicily.
I'm ready for a new assignment.

844
01:33:20,440 --> 01:33:25,000
Maybe you've got it.
Here's a radio message, just came in.

845
01:33:29,320 --> 01:33:30,400
Cod.

846
01:33:31,560 --> 01:33:32,920
I've been relieved.

847
01:33:35,200 --> 01:33:38,000
They've relieved me from command
of the 7th Army.

848
01:33:38,800 --> 01:33:40,600
I don't believe it.

849
01:33:43,440 --> 01:33:44,440
Happy New Year.

850
01:33:50,600 --> 01:33:52,200
Just a minute, sir.

851
01:33:53,040 --> 01:33:55,640
Since they're sure to give you
another command...

852
01:33:55,840 --> 01:33:59,200
...isn't it logical they'd
relieve you here first?

853
01:34:00,320 --> 01:34:03,440
You mean command of all American
troops going into Europe?

854
01:34:03,640 --> 01:34:07,080
It's possible. I know it's been
discussed from time to time.

855
01:34:07,320 --> 01:34:11,600
The logic of it is so obvious,
it couldn't mean anything else.

856
01:34:13,040 --> 01:34:17,400
Sir, I'm going to open
this bottle of wine.

No, Sir Cod...

858
01:34:19,360 --> 01:34:22,800
...but if you find a bottle of cognac,
I'll help you drink it.

859
01:34:29,720 --> 01:34:33,440
- How you feeling tonight, general?
- Not bad, not bad at all.

860
01:34:33,640 --> 01:34:36,600
- Get me some writing paper, will you?
- Yes, sir.

861
01:34:37,320 --> 01:34:40,000
Your wife ever give you the devil
for not writing?

862
01:34:40,200 --> 01:34:41,560
All the time, sir.

863
01:34:41,760 --> 01:34:45,600
Only I don't write as often as you
do. Don't seem to get around to it.

broken-down old horse captains?

That's what my wife says to me
every time I come home, sir.

867
01:34:56,120 --> 01:34:57,720
Why are you up so late, George?

868
01:34:57,920 --> 01:35:00,520
Thought you'd like a nice hot bath
or something.

869
01:35:08,240 --> 01:35:11,600
I got this sleeping pill from the doc,
just in case you need it.

870
01:35:12,840 --> 01:35:14,400
Sleeping pill!

871
01:35:14,920 --> 01:35:17,840
- What's going on here?
- I heard the news, sir.

872
01:35:18,040 --> 01:35:21,200
- They announced it on the radio.
- What news?

873
01:35:22,040 --> 01:35:26,400
About General Bradley, sir. How they
gave him the top American command.

874
01:35:28,160 --> 01:35:29,400
Oh.

875
01:35:30,560 --> 01:35:31,800
Oh, yeah.

01:35:34,080 --> 01:35:37,200
I just thought you might be
feeling kind of low, sir.

Here on the desk, sir.

878
01:35:57,000 --> 01:35:59,560
Yeah. Thank you, George.

That's what done it.

01:36:09,240 --> 01:36:11,200
Ah, George.

882
01:36:13,040 --> 01:36:15,800

Can you tell us the purpose
of this visit to Corsica?

We hear a lot about you

Not really. You know me.

ever attempted in history.

and lick the Germans at the same time.

- It's a hell of a job.
- I understand.

You have an important assignment
connected to the Normandy invasion.

939
01:45:33,800 --> 01:45:37,880
Good. I've studied the Overlord Plan
and there's a number of flaws in it.

...wanted Patton
with a rope around his neck.

that you are here undercover.

That you're preparing to invade
at the Pas de Calais.

We hope to pin down
the German 15th Army there...

...so that they can't be used
against us at Normandy.

Is that all I'm good for?

950
01:46:15,960 --> 01:46:20,000
We're going to build an army
of 12 divisions around you.

951
01:46:20,240 --> 01:46:22,200
All fictitious, of course.

dummy landing craft...

will lead the main invasion effort.

...then we can move you to Knutsford.

- Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

General Patton is not here
in an official capacity...

980
01:48:52,480 --> 01:48:54,840
...and I have assured him
most earnestly...

981

...that nothing he says
will be quoted.

- Yeah.

Until today...

986
01:49:21,440 --> 01:49:26,360
...my only experience
at welcoming has been...

987
01:49:26,600 --> 01:49:31,520
...to welcome Germans and Italians
to the infernal region.

988
01:49:32,960 --> 01:49:35,440
At this I have been
quite successful...

989
01:49:35,640 --> 01:49:38,680
...since the troops, which I have had
the honor to command...

990
01:49:38,880 --> 01:49:41,400
...have, to date, killed or captured...

991
01:49:41,640 --> 01:49:45,080
...some 170,000 of our enemies.

992
01:49:53,480 --> 01:49:58,400
I feel that such clubs as these
are of very real value...

993
01:49:58,760 --> 01:50:01,480
...because I believe
with Mr. Bernard Shaw...

994
01:50:01,680 --> 01:50:05,240
...that the British and the Americans
are two peoples...

995
01:50:05,520 --> 01:50:09,000
...separated by a common language.

996
01:50:11,560 --> 01:50:16,400
Since it is the destiny of the British
and Americans to rule the world...

997
01:50:17,920 --> 01:50:19,840
...the better we know each other...

998
01:50:20,080 --> 01:50:21,800
...the better we will do it.

The Russians,
don't forget the Russians.

1000
01:50:25,840 --> 01:50:27,480
I think that a club like this...

1001
01:50:27,720 --> 01:50:31,040
...is an ideal place
for promoting mutual understanding.

1002
01:50:31,840 --> 01:50:37,040
Because as soon as our soldiers meet
and get to know the English ladies...

1003
01:50:37,480 --> 01:50:42,640
...and write home and tell our women
just how lovely you truly are...

1004
01:50:47,120 --> 01:50:49,960
...then the sooner the American ladies
will get jealous...

1005
01:50:50,200 --> 01:50:53,000
...and force this war
to a quick termination.

1006
01:50:56,920 --> 01:51:01,640
And then I'll get the chance to go
to the Pacific and kill Japanese.

... that Britain and America
will rule the post war world.

That Russia will have no say.

1011
01:51:30,120 --> 01:51:34,240
Congressional leaders like Senator
Clayburn Foss are quick to react.

1012
01:51:34,480 --> 01:51:37,080
This man has insulted
our Russian allies...

1013

...implying Anglo-American world rule.

1014
01:51:40,320 --> 01:51:43,280
In my opinion, he should be
severely disciplined.

They promised there
wouldn't be any reporters.

1017
01:51:48,520 --> 01:51:50,680
I made a few remarks off the record.

1018
01:51:50,880 --> 01:51:53,240
Ike told you to keep your mouth shut.

1019
01:51:53,480 --> 01:51:57,120
You know how suspicious the Russians
are of the British and us.

1020
01:51:57,320 --> 01:52:00,480
I was only trying to be polite
to the old ladies.

1021
01:52:00,720 --> 01:52:05,920
If I'd seen the Russians there, I'd
have mentioned the sons of bitches.

1022
01:52:06,240 --> 01:52:09,080
Bedell, I don't know
anything about politics.

1023
01:52:09,320 --> 01:52:11,160
I have no political ambitions.

1024
01:52:11,400 --> 01:52:14,280
All I want to do is
to command an army in combat.

1025
01:52:14,520 --> 01:52:16,480
Well, it's out of our hands now.

1026
01:52:16,720 --> 01:52:19,880
Ike sent a message last night
to the chief of staff.

1027
01:52:20,120 --> 01:52:25,080
Now it's up to General Marshall
whether you stay here as a decoy...

1028
01:52:25,320 --> 01:52:27,240
...or he sends you home.

1029
01:52:29,640 --> 01:52:31,240
He's a good man.

1030
01:52:31,720 --> 01:52:33,840
At least he's a fair man.

1031
01:52:34,320 --> 01:52:36,040
I'll let it sit with him.

1032
01:52:50,520 --> 01:52:51,840
PATTON:
George...

1033
01:52:53,040 --> 01:52:55,240
...our war is over.

1034
01:52:55,440 --> 01:52:56,640
Over, sir?

1035
01:52:57,200 --> 01:53:00,440
It's just a question of waiting
for the orders now.

1036
01:53:07,680 --> 01:53:09,440
I feel I'm...

1037
01:53:11,040 --> 01:53:15,240
I'm destined to achieve some
great thing. What, I don't know.

1038
01:53:16,920 --> 01:53:20,840
But this last incident is...

1039
01:53:21,600 --> 01:53:25,440
...so trivial in its nature
and so terrible in its effect-

1040
01:53:26,000 --> 01:53:29,440
It can't be an accident.
It has to be the work of God.

1041
01:53:30,320 --> 01:53:31,640
Yes, sir.

1042
01:53:32,280 --> 01:53:34,720
The last great opportunity
of a lifetime...

1043
01:53:34,920 --> 01:53:39,240
...an entire world at war
and I'm left out of it?

1044
01:53:39,480 --> 01:53:40,800
No, sir.

1045
01:53:41,000 --> 01:53:43,000
God will not permit this to happen!

1046
01:53:43,440 --> 01:53:47,840
I am going to be allowed
to fulfil my destiny!

1047
01:53:52,600 --> 01:53:54,440
His will be done.

1048
01:54:06,520 --> 01:54:09,920
NARRATOR: In the greatest amphibious
operation ever attempted...

1049
01:54:10,120 --> 01:54:12,720
...a predawn naval bombardment
prepares the way...

1050
01:54:12,920 --> 01:54:15,840
...for allied soldiers to assault
the Normandy beaches...

1051
01:54:16,040 --> 01:54:19,480
...and claw out a desperate foothold
on the continent of Europe.

1052
01:54:34,000 --> 01:54:39,040
I knew Montgomery couldn't take Caen
on D-day or D-plus-10. And I said so.

1053
01:54:39,280 --> 01:54:43,040
And here they are all hung up
in the hedgerow country.

1054
01:54:43,320 --> 01:54:47,240
They should pivot the way von
Schlieffen planned it in World War I.

1055
01:54:48,120 --> 01:54:51,640
Then we might get a chance to do
some real broken field running.

1056
01:54:52,600 --> 01:54:54,440
But they don't listen to me.

1057
01:54:57,520 --> 01:54:59,880
What a way to enter
the continent of Europe.

1058
01:55:00,120 --> 01:55:02,480
Along with all the rest
of the spare parts.

1059
01:55:03,040 --> 01:55:05,640
Sir, everything on this plane
is high priority.

1060
01:55:06,760 --> 01:55:10,400
Gen. Bradley wouldn't send for you
unless he had something in mind.

1061
01:55:10,600 --> 01:55:14,080
I'll tell you, Cod.
I've learned my lesson.

1062
01:55:14,680 --> 01:55:18,080
If I ever do get another chance,
I'm gonna keep my mouth shut.

1063
01:55:19,840 --> 01:55:21,680
I'm gonna play the game.

1064
01:55:22,120 --> 01:55:24,080
If I forget, you remind me.

1065
01:55:24,800 --> 01:55:29,000
- I'll give a gentle nudge in the ribs.
- Give me a swift kick in the ass.

1066
01:55:29,760 --> 01:55:31,000
Yes, sir.

1067
01:55:51,920 --> 01:55:53,400
Welcome to France, sir.

1068
01:55:53,600 --> 01:55:55,960
Hope the war's still on.
Where's the boss?

1069
01:55:56,160 --> 01:55:57,360
Right this way, sir.

1070
01:56:33,040 --> 01:56:36,480
Patton, haven't seen you
since Messina.

1071
01:56:36,680 --> 01:56:37,680
How are you?

1072
01:56:37,880 --> 01:56:40,520
You're doing a splendid job
decoying the Jerries.

1073
01:56:40,720 --> 01:56:43,160
You'll forgive me,
I'm off to the front.

1074
01:56:43,360 --> 01:56:45,080
Best of everything, old boy.

1075
01:56:49,040 --> 01:56:50,480
By the way...

1076
01:56:50,920 --> 01:56:54,240
...intelligence confirms
that I'm against Rommel again.

1077
01:56:58,760 --> 01:57:00,080
Rommel.

1078
01:57:01,960 --> 01:57:03,360
Hi, how are you, George?

1079
01:57:04,240 --> 01:57:07,480
- Pretty fair, Brad. How are you?
- Fine.

1080
01:57:11,160 --> 01:57:13,280
Well. My, my.

1081
01:57:13,480 --> 01:57:15,120
Isn't this plush?

1082
01:57:15,360 --> 01:57:18,200
Looks like you're
bucking for archbishop.

1083
01:57:18,400 --> 01:57:21,560
Chet Hansen had this rig built for me.
George, sit down.

1084
01:57:22,120 --> 01:57:25,920
Ike wanted me to talk to you
since we can level with each other.

1085
01:57:26,160 --> 01:57:27,280
That's right.

1086
01:57:28,120 --> 01:57:31,880
We're making 3rd Army operational
when I take over 12th Army group.

1087
01:57:32,080 --> 01:57:33,480
Do I get it?

1088
01:57:34,080 --> 01:57:35,680
I'll be honest with you.

1089
01:57:35,920 --> 01:57:37,520
I've had reservations.

1090
01:57:38,320 --> 01:57:41,280
You've been my senior ever since
I left the academy.

1091
01:57:41,520 --> 01:57:45,280
You were the boss in North Africa
and Sicily and I just thought...

1092
01:57:46,520 --> 01:57:48,600
...well, it might be a problem for us.

1093
01:57:49,120 --> 01:57:50,680
It wouldn't bother me.

1094
01:57:50,880 --> 01:57:52,800
There's one other thing.

1095
01:57:53,040 --> 01:57:54,920
We're different kinds of people.

1096
01:57:55,160 --> 01:57:57,880
Goddamn it, Brad, you're always right.

1097
01:57:58,080 --> 01:58:02,400
With your brains and my screwy ideas,
we make a great team, like in Sicily.

1098
01:58:02,760 --> 01:58:06,880
Truthfully, if I had been your senior
in Sicily, I would have relieved you.

1099
01:58:09,320 --> 01:58:10,480
Brad...

1100
01:58:12,160 --> 01:58:14,760
...I'm not crawling on my belly
to get a command.

1101
01:58:14,960 --> 01:58:17,480
For God's sake, get me in this fight.

1102
01:58:19,040 --> 01:58:22,360
The only way out of the doghouse
is to do something great.

1103
01:58:22,560 --> 01:58:24,160
I gotta get back in the war!

1104
01:58:24,360 --> 01:58:27,440
Hitler's own people tried
to kill him a few days ago.

1105
01:58:27,640 --> 01:58:29,880
First thing you know,
it'll be over and...

1106
01:58:33,120 --> 01:58:34,280
I'll...

1107
01:58:36,520 --> 01:58:39,280
...keep my mouth shut.
I'll behave myself.

1108
01:58:42,040 --> 01:58:43,680
I give you my word.

1109
01:58:47,360 --> 01:58:48,680
George...

1110
01:58:49,360 --> 01:58:51,880
...I've been working
on a plan called Cobra.

1111
01:58:52,440 --> 01:58:54,040
I'd like your opinion.

1112
01:58:54,240 --> 01:58:56,560
We've been slugging through
hedgerow country...

1113
01:58:56,760 --> 01:58:59,800
...half an acre a day
and we've got to find a way out.

1114
01:59:00,040 --> 01:59:01,520
I want to use this road.

1115
01:59:01,720 --> 01:59:03,440
The Saint Lô-Periers road.

1116
01:59:03,640 --> 01:59:06,240
Monty will pin down
the enemy forces at Caen.

1117
01:59:06,440 --> 01:59:09,960
We'll pulverize an area
31/2 miles wide with bombing.

1118
01:59:10,160 --> 01:59:12,080
Then seven divisions will follow.

1119
01:59:12,320 --> 01:59:17,280
The 3rd Army will swing around here, a
sweeping end run right across France.

1120
01:59:17,920 --> 01:59:19,240
What do you think?

1121
01:59:20,480 --> 01:59:25,680
I think you'll need a screwball old
cavalryman to command the 3rd Army.

1122
01:59:26,720 --> 01:59:28,280
George...

1123
01:59:30,280 --> 01:59:34,880
...Ike came to that conclusion
in London three months ago.

1124
01:59:35,440 --> 01:59:36,680
He what?

1125
01:59:37,480 --> 01:59:41,520
Why, that dirty-!
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

1126
01:59:41,760 --> 01:59:43,720
I promise to keep my mouth shut.

1127
01:59:44,760 --> 01:59:47,920
(SPEAKING IN GERMAN)

1128
02:01:35,560 --> 02:01:38,520
George could have the courtesy
to tell us where he's going.

1129
02:01:51,160 --> 02:01:54,600
Good God, look at that.
Where you going, general?

1130
02:01:54,880 --> 02:01:55,960
Berlin.

1131
02:01:56,200 --> 02:01:59,920
I'm going to personally shoot
that paper-hanging son of a bitch.

1132
02:02:00,120 --> 02:02:02,920
(CHEERING)

1133
02:02:39,600 --> 02:02:42,920
Hold it. Hold it!

1134
02:02:44,000 --> 02:02:45,320
This place isn't on the map.

1135
02:02:45,560 --> 02:02:48,320
You know why?
We've run clear off the map.

1136
02:02:59,600 --> 02:03:02,040
Give George a headline,
and he's good for another 30 miles.

1137
02:03:34,480 --> 02:03:36,760
(HONKING)

1138
02:03:59,000 --> 02:04:00,920
SOLDIER:
Atten-hut!

1139
02:04:01,880 --> 02:04:03,120
Hold it!

1140
02:04:07,200 --> 02:04:10,720
Pay attention. We're gonna clean
this mess up right now.

1141
02:04:11,000 --> 02:04:14,520
Let's move this vehicle out this way.
This one out this way.

1142
02:04:14,720 --> 02:04:17,520
Back that thing up there,
and we'll take this one here.

1143
02:04:17,720 --> 02:04:20,160
All right, get up off your ass.
Let's go now!

1144
02:04:31,440 --> 02:04:33,160
That's it.
That's the way to move.

1145
02:04:33,440 --> 02:04:36,160
Good boy. All right, come on.

1146
02:04:36,440 --> 02:04:39,520
Come on, now. Here we go. Come on.
That's it!

1147
02:04:39,680 --> 02:04:41,560
That's it! Gun it!

1148
02:04:42,120 --> 02:04:43,960
Gun that thing!

1149
02:04:44,240 --> 02:04:45,960
Okay, come on.

1150
02:04:47,520 --> 02:04:48,760
Watch it!

1151
02:04:49,440 --> 02:04:51,760
Go, go, go! Come on.
Hold it up.

1152
02:04:52,000 --> 02:04:54,160
Come on, baby. Yeah, yeah.
Come on.

1153
02:04:55,240 --> 02:04:56,760
That's it.

1154
02:04:57,360 --> 02:04:58,760
Come on, now.

1155
02:05:01,240 --> 02:05:03,160
- Chet.
- Yeah, will do.

1156
02:05:05,920 --> 02:05:09,440
Come on, keep coming. Keep coming.
Hold it up there.

1157
02:05:12,200 --> 02:05:13,600
Now come on! Hold it!

1158
02:05:13,840 --> 02:05:16,960
Hey, dummy, hold the fricking tank!

1159
02:05:22,000 --> 02:05:23,400
That's it. Come on.

1160
02:05:23,640 --> 02:05:24,960
Good boy.

1161
02:05:27,640 --> 02:05:29,200
- Hold it up there.
- General!

1162
02:05:29,440 --> 02:05:31,680
General Bradley wants to have
a word with you.

1163
02:05:31,920 --> 02:05:34,680
Okay. Come on!

1164
02:05:35,800 --> 02:05:39,960
Okay. Hold it up. Take over.

1165
02:05:47,200 --> 02:05:49,760
George, you'd make a good traffic cop.

1166
02:05:51,440 --> 02:05:53,960
George this drive has been
magnificent...

1167
02:05:54,200 --> 02:05:56,960
...but I'm sorry to say
I have to slow you down.

1168
02:05:57,160 --> 02:06:01,160
- What the hell for?
- We'll have to cut off your supplies.

1169
02:06:01,400 --> 02:06:05,040
Gasoline, ammunition, everything.
We're up against new priorities.

1170
02:06:05,280 --> 02:06:08,760
- I think I smell Montgomery.
- Take it easy, George.

1171
02:06:09,000 --> 02:06:11,880
There are serious issues involved.
Political issues.

1172
02:06:12,120 --> 02:06:13,880
By God, it is Montgomery.

1173
02:06:14,120 --> 02:06:17,880
The launching sites for the B-2 bombs
are all in his area.

1174
02:06:18,120 --> 02:06:20,080
Churchill wants those bases destroyed.

1175
02:06:20,520 --> 02:06:23,560
Hitler kills more civilians
in London than soldiers.

1176
02:06:23,760 --> 02:06:25,400
Expect Montgomery to do anything?

1177
02:06:26,120 --> 02:06:29,680
You give me gasoline and I'll gain
ground with it, kill Germans too.

1178
02:06:29,920 --> 02:06:31,760
Give me 400,000 gallons.
I'll go to Berlin.

1179
02:06:32,040 --> 02:06:33,560
George, I can't do it.

1180
02:06:33,800 --> 02:06:35,640
The Siegfried line
is an empty shell.

1181
02:06:35,880 --> 02:06:37,960
They stripped the equipment
and sent it east.

1182
02:06:38,200 --> 02:06:40,880
It's crawling with cows.
I can punch through in two days.

1183
02:06:41,120 --> 02:06:44,000
There's no use in arguing with me.
It wasn't my idea.

1184
02:06:44,200 --> 02:06:46,160
Why did you pick me to command?

1185
02:06:46,400 --> 02:06:48,360
I didn't pick you.

1186
02:06:50,120 --> 02:06:51,560
Ike picked you.

1187
02:06:54,800 --> 02:06:57,160
George, you have performed
brilliantly.

1188
02:06:57,520 --> 02:06:59,200
You are loyal, dedicated.

1189
02:06:59,440 --> 02:07:02,160
You're one of the best I've got,
but you don't know when to shut up.

1190
02:07:02,400 --> 02:07:05,960
George, you're a pain in the neck.

1191
02:07:09,520 --> 02:07:11,680
I have a lot of faults, Brad.

1192
02:07:11,920 --> 02:07:14,280
But ingratitude isn't one of them.

1193
02:07:14,520 --> 02:07:15,960
I owe you a lot.

1194
02:07:17,080 --> 02:07:20,560
Hell, I know I'm a prima donna.
I admit it.

1195
02:07:20,840 --> 02:07:23,960
What I can't stand about Monty is,
he won't admit it.

1196
02:07:35,640 --> 02:07:37,880
(TANK SPUTTERS)

1197
02:07:48,320 --> 02:07:51,400
Captain, the Bailey's run out of gas.

1198
02:07:51,840 --> 02:07:53,560
The point tank has run out too.

1199
02:07:55,160 --> 02:07:57,360
And there's a kraut column up ahead.

1200
02:07:57,760 --> 02:07:59,160
Yeah, I know.

1201
02:09:56,360 --> 02:09:58,200
PATTON:
Were you in command here, captain?

1202
02:09:59,640 --> 02:10:00,680
I was in command.

1203
02:10:01,640 --> 02:10:05,320
My tank platoon was supporting
an infantry company.

1204
02:10:05,560 --> 02:10:10,200
Tanks ran out of gas,
so we had to fight it out.

1205
02:10:11,640 --> 02:10:14,200
We started 11:00 last night.

1206
02:10:15,560 --> 02:10:17,600
Finished a couple hours ago.

1207
02:10:19,680 --> 02:10:24,000
This morning the fighting
was hand-to-hand.

1208
02:11:10,400 --> 02:11:12,200
I had a dream last night.

1209
02:11:14,320 --> 02:11:17,400
In my dream it came to me...

1210
02:11:17,600 --> 02:11:20,800
...that right now the whole Nazi Reich
is mine for the taking.

1211
02:11:21,000 --> 02:11:25,200
Think about that, Cod.
I was nearly sent home in disgrace.

1212
02:11:25,880 --> 02:11:28,400
Now I have precisely
the right instrument...

1213
02:11:28,600 --> 02:11:33,200
...at precisely the right moment of
history and exactly the right place.

1214
02:11:33,480 --> 02:11:34,760
The Saar?

1215
02:11:34,960 --> 02:11:37,000
This will change too, very quickly.

1216
02:11:37,200 --> 02:11:39,720
Like a planet spinning off
into the universe.

1217
02:11:39,960 --> 02:11:42,680
A moment like this won't come again
for 1000 years.

1218
02:11:42,880 --> 02:11:45,600
All I need is a few
miserable gallons of gasoline.

1219
02:11:45,960 --> 02:11:49,400
Right now, the weak spot is here.

1220
02:11:50,880 --> 02:11:54,200
In 10 days, we could be in Berlin.

1221
02:11:54,440 --> 02:11:57,800
What about the fortifications
that were done in Metz?

1222
02:11:59,560 --> 02:12:01,640
Fixed fortifications, huh?

1223
02:12:01,880 --> 02:12:04,800
Monuments to the stupidity of man.

1224
02:12:05,560 --> 02:12:08,920
When mountain ranges and oceans
could be overcome...

1225
02:12:09,160 --> 02:12:11,040
...anything built by man
can be overcome.

1226
02:12:15,640 --> 02:12:18,200
You know how I'm sure
they're finished out there?

1227
02:12:20,280 --> 02:12:21,600
The carts.

1228
02:12:23,280 --> 02:12:26,400
They're using carts to move
their wounded and the supplies.

1229
02:12:28,200 --> 02:12:32,000
The carts came to me in my dream.
I couldn't figure it out.

1230
02:12:33,280 --> 02:12:35,000
Then I remembered...

1231
02:12:36,760 --> 02:12:41,000
...that nightmare in the snow.
The agonizing retreat from Moscow.

1232
02:12:41,840 --> 02:12:43,600
How cold it was.

1233
02:12:46,880 --> 02:12:50,400
They threw the wounded and what was
left of the supplies in the carts.

1234
02:12:51,600 --> 02:12:53,400
Napoleon was finished.

1235
02:12:55,560 --> 02:12:58,200
Not any color left.
Not even the red of blood.

1236
02:12:59,400 --> 02:13:01,000
Only the snow.

1237
02:13:05,840 --> 02:13:07,200
Look at this, Cod.

1238
02:13:14,600 --> 02:13:16,000
I love it.

1239
02:13:19,840 --> 02:13:22,000
God help me, I do love it so.

1240
02:13:25,960 --> 02:13:27,440
I love it more than my life.

1241
02:13:36,280 --> 02:13:39,400
NARRATOR: Paris is liberated,
and French troops lead the way.

1242
02:13:40,160 --> 02:13:44,680
The Allies march into the city
after four years of Nazi occupation.

1243
02:13:45,080 --> 02:13:47,800
The hard-fighting French
2nd Armored Division...

1244
02:13:48,000 --> 02:13:50,280
...under Major General
Jacques Leclerc...

1245
02:13:50,520 --> 02:13:52,240
...gets an unforgettable welcome...

1246
02:13:52,680 --> 02:13:54,680
...as they enter their beloved Paris.

1247
02:13:59,600 --> 02:14:01,400
In a powerful drive to the north...

1248
02:14:01,640 --> 02:14:05,080
... General Montgomery cuts off and
bypasses the French coastal towns...

1249
02:14:05,320 --> 02:14:07,640
...of Boulogne, Calais and Dunkirk.

1250
02:14:07,840 --> 02:14:11,000
Pushing on to capture the vital
Belgian port of Antwerp.

1251
02:14:16,760 --> 02:14:18,440
Meanwhile, the main body
of Patton 's army...

1252
02:14:18,640 --> 02:14:22,800
...resupplied now and rolling like a
juggernaut, slashes toward the Saar.

1253
02:14:23,720 --> 02:14:25,680
Nazi resistance appears to crumble.

1254
02:14:25,920 --> 02:14:30,440
It seems that nothing can stop our
troops from driving on into Germany.

1255
02:14:38,840 --> 02:14:41,840
- Sir, General Bradley on your line.
- Good, good.

1256
02:14:47,720 --> 02:14:50,360
Brad, listen, I've got a bridgehead
across the Saar.

1257
02:14:50,600 --> 02:14:51,720
I'm on my way to Germany.

1258
02:14:52,000 --> 02:14:54,480
Wait a minute, George.
There's a lot of trouble up north.

1259
02:14:54,720 --> 02:14:59,640
I want you to transfer tank armor
to Middleton's 8th Corps right away.

1260
02:15:00,040 --> 02:15:01,520
Brad, you can't do that.

1261
02:15:01,880 --> 02:15:04,720
George, listen.
I don't have time to argue.

1262
02:15:04,960 --> 02:15:07,640
There's a lot of enemy activity
up around Ardennes.

1263
02:15:07,920 --> 02:15:10,080
No, I don't know how serious it is...

1264
02:15:10,320 --> 02:15:14,640
...but Ike wants us to meet
with Bedell Smith tomorrow at Verdun.

1265
02:15:14,880 --> 02:15:16,040
Be there at 1100.

1266
02:15:16,520 --> 02:15:17,840
Yes, sir.

1267
02:15:57,120 --> 02:15:59,840
PATTON: There's absolutely no reason
for us to assume...

1268
02:16:00,040 --> 02:16:02,640
...that the Germans are mounting
a major offense.

1269
02:16:03,880 --> 02:16:07,840
The weather is awful
and their supplies are low.

1270
02:16:08,720 --> 02:16:12,280
The Germans haven't mounted a winter
attack since Frederick the Great.

1271
02:16:14,880 --> 02:16:17,920
Therefore I believe that's exactly
what they're going to do.

1272
02:16:58,040 --> 02:17:00,840
I want you to start making
contingency plans...

1273
02:17:01,080 --> 02:17:02,720
...for pulling out
of our eastward attack.

1274
02:17:03,080 --> 02:17:05,760
Changing directions 90 degrees,
moving up to Luxembourg.

1275
02:17:07,480 --> 02:17:09,240
Don't look so stunned, gentlemen.

1276
02:17:09,920 --> 02:17:12,440
I want you to plan
for three possible axes of attack.

1277
02:17:12,640 --> 02:17:14,480
From Diekirch, due north.

1278
02:17:14,720 --> 02:17:18,840
From Orléans to Bastogne.

1279
02:17:19,040 --> 02:17:22,440
From Neufchâteau against the German
left flank.

1280
02:17:41,920 --> 02:17:44,160
We've identified four German armies:

1281
02:17:44,400 --> 02:17:49,200
The 7th, the 5th Panzer,
6th SS Panzer and the 15th.

1282
02:17:49,720 --> 02:17:51,640
They've hit us with 26 divisions.

1283
02:17:51,880 --> 02:17:54,640
They've overran two regimens
of the 106th Division.

1284
02:17:54,880 --> 02:17:57,840
And 7500 of our men
were forced to surrender.

1285
02:17:58,200 --> 02:18:00,640
Our concern is that von Rundstedt...

1286
02:18:00,840 --> 02:18:04,640
...has the 101 st Airborne trapped
here at Bastogne.

1287
02:18:07,440 --> 02:18:11,440
Bastogne, by the way, is the key
to this entire area.

1288
02:18:12,200 --> 02:18:15,840
If we can hold it, we can break up
the entire German offensive.

1289
02:18:16,440 --> 02:18:19,040
If they take it,
we're in serious trouble.

1290
02:18:20,120 --> 02:18:22,400
Ike wants to know if anybody can go...

1291
02:18:22,600 --> 02:18:25,720
...and relieve the 101 st
before they're torn to pieces.

1292
02:18:27,880 --> 02:18:30,120
There's nothing Montgomery can do.

1293
02:18:30,360 --> 02:18:32,640
At any rate, not for some weeks.

1294
02:18:33,320 --> 02:18:35,240
What about you, George?

1295
02:18:36,160 --> 02:18:38,440
I can attack with three divisions
in 48 hours.

1296
02:18:42,280 --> 02:18:43,880
I'd give myself some leeway.

1297
02:18:44,440 --> 02:18:46,480
Ike wants a realistic estimate,
George.

1298
02:18:46,720 --> 02:18:50,680
You're in the middle of a fight now.
It's over a hundred miles to Bastogne.

1299
02:18:50,920 --> 02:18:53,160
My staff's already working
out the details.

1300
02:18:55,360 --> 02:18:58,280
Frankly, I don't see how
it's possible.

1301
02:18:58,720 --> 02:19:00,680
Not in this kind of weather.

1302
02:19:01,280 --> 02:19:04,000
I should have thought you'd want
to fall back and regroup.

1303
02:19:04,240 --> 02:19:06,880
Not me. I don't like to pay
for the same real estate twice.

1304
02:19:07,120 --> 02:19:08,400
TEDDER:
But what about your men?

1305
02:19:08,720 --> 02:19:12,840
You can't cart them off 100 miles,
expecting them to attack without rest.

1306
02:19:13,240 --> 02:19:14,320
I trained these men.

1307
02:19:14,560 --> 02:19:16,400
They'll do what I tell them to do.

1308
02:19:16,640 --> 02:19:20,200
We hadn't realized you were
so popular with your troops, general.

1309
02:19:21,480 --> 02:19:25,280
I'm not. They'll do it
because they're good soldiers.

1310
02:19:25,520 --> 02:19:29,240
And because they realize, as I do,
that we can still lose this war.

1311
02:19:32,360 --> 02:19:35,000
Then I think I can speak
for Field Marshal Montgomery.

1312
02:19:35,840 --> 02:19:38,200
He'd say you're asking
the impossible of your men.

1313
02:19:38,440 --> 02:19:39,920
Of course he would.

1314
02:19:40,160 --> 02:19:43,280
Cause he's never realized that's
what we're in business for.

1315

(BOMB EXPLODES)

1316
02:20:58,320 --> 02:21:00,680
General McAuliffe refused
a German surrender demand.

1317
02:21:00,920 --> 02:21:02,480
You know what he said?

1318
02:21:03,560 --> 02:21:04,760
What?

1319
02:21:05,120 --> 02:21:06,680
He said, "Nuts. "

1320
02:21:08,800 --> 02:21:10,000
Keep them moving, colonel.

1321
02:21:10,240 --> 02:21:12,480

This is where it pays off.

1324
02:23:27,280 --> 02:23:28,840
The training and discipline.

1325
02:23:29,880 --> 02:23:31,920
No other outfit in the world.

1326
02:23:32,600 --> 02:23:36,120
Pulled out of a winter battle,
move a hundred miles.

1327
02:23:36,400 --> 02:23:40,320
Going to a major attack with no rest,
no sleep, no hot food.

1328
02:23:40,520 --> 02:23:44,040
God! God, I'm proud of these men!

1329
02:24:08,640 --> 02:24:12,600
Sir, von Rundstedt's thrown another
panzer division against Bastogne.

1330
02:24:12,840 --> 02:24:14,960
101 st Airborne's barely holding on.

1331
02:24:15,160 --> 02:24:19,360
We need damned air cover. If we had
decent weather, we might make it.

1332
02:24:19,800 --> 02:24:21,760
CARVER:
General Mason, sir.

1333
02:24:35,760 --> 02:24:38,760
Hello, Mase?
Listen, we're short on foot soldiers.

1334
02:24:39,000 --> 02:24:42,560
Cannibalize your antiaircraft units
and turn them into riflemen.

1335
02:24:42,760 --> 02:24:44,560
Yes, every last one you can find.

1336
02:24:44,800 --> 02:24:46,040
Good evening, general.

1337
02:24:46,280 --> 02:24:49,360
I just got the weather report
for tomorrow. More snow.

1338
02:24:49,600 --> 02:24:51,480
There goes our air cover.

1339
02:24:51,720 --> 02:24:54,280
We may have to wait
for better weather.

1340
02:24:54,520 --> 02:24:59,200
Brave men dying up there. I won't
wait, not an hour, not a minute.

1341
02:25:01,440 --> 02:25:02,800
Going to keep moving.

1342
02:25:03,040 --> 02:25:04,760
Is that clear?

1343
02:25:06,760 --> 02:25:10,160
We're going to attack all night
and attack tomorrow morning!

1344
02:25:11,160 --> 02:25:13,360
If we're not victorious...

1345
02:25:15,560 --> 02:25:17,480
...let no one come back alive.

1346
02:25:28,760 --> 02:25:30,400
You know something, general?

02:25:30,640 --> 02:25:34,760
Sometimes, they can't tell when
you're acting and when you're not.

1348
02:25:36,440 --> 02:25:38,560
It isn't important for them to know.

1349
02:25:40,040 --> 02:25:42,160
It's only important for me to know.

1350
02:25:48,920 --> 02:25:52,160
- You want to see me, general?
- Oh, yeah, chaplain.

1351
02:25:52,360 --> 02:25:54,880
I'm tired of 3rd Army
having to fight Germans...

1352
02:25:55,120 --> 02:25:57,360
...with supreme command,
no gasoline...

1353
02:25:57,560 --> 02:25:59,480
...and now this ungodly weather.

1354
02:25:59,720 --> 02:26:01,720
I want a prayer, a weather prayer.

1355
02:26:02,720 --> 02:26:04,000
A weather prayer, sir?

1356
02:26:04,240 --> 02:26:07,160
Yes, let's see if you can't get God
working with us.

1357
02:26:07,400 --> 02:26:09,760
Gonna take a thick rug
for that kind of praying.

1358
02:26:10,000 --> 02:26:12,160
I don't care if it
takes a flying carpet.

1359
02:26:12,360 --> 02:26:15,160
I don't know how this
will be received, general.

1360
02:26:15,400 --> 02:26:18,200
Praying for good weather
so we can kill our fellow man.

1361
02:26:18,440 --> 02:26:21,440
I assure you, because of
my relations with the Almighty...

1362
02:26:21,680 --> 02:26:24,760
...if you write a good prayer,
we'll have good weather.

1363
02:26:25,040 --> 02:26:27,560
And I expect that prayer
within an hour.

1364
02:26:28,320 --> 02:26:29,560
Yes, sir.

from victory to victory...

...and establish Thy justice...

not do it now, when the army's here?

together tonight.

1500
02:41:21,640 --> 02:41:24,160
...imagine getting killed
by an oxcart.

1501
02:41:25,560 --> 02:41:30,000
No, Brad, there's only one proper way
for a professional soldier to die.

1502
02:41:30,240 --> 02:41:34,080
That's from the last bullet
of the last battle of the last war.

1503
02:41:35,120 --> 02:41:38,280
At least the 3rd Army earned its pay.

1504
02:41:39,120 --> 02:41:41,680
In our drive across Europe,
we liberated...

1505
02:41:41,920 --> 02:41:43,880
... 12,000 cities and towns...

1506
02:41:44,080 --> 02:41:46,840
...and inflicted a million and a half
enemy casualties.

1507
02:41:47,080 --> 02:41:50,680
I sense from now on, just being
a good soldier won't mean a thing.

1508
02:41:50,920 --> 02:41:55,520
I'm afraid we're gonna have to be
diplomats, administrators, you name it.

1509
02:41:55,760 --> 02:41:57,280
God help us.

1510
02:42:02,280 --> 02:42:05,280
George, I want to say one thing.

1511
02:42:06,560 --> 02:42:09,280
You've done a magnificent job
here in Europe.

1512
02:42:10,000 --> 02:42:11,440
That's right, George.

1513
02:42:12,160 --> 02:42:17,120
That soldier you slapped did more to
win the war than any other private.

1514
02:42:20,080 --> 02:42:21,720
I'll see you for dinner.

Six-thirty?

02:42:39,320 --> 02:42:41,040
PATTON:
For over a thousand years...

1517
02:42:41,280 --> 02:42:44,160
...Roman conquerors
returning from the wars...

1518
02:42:44,400 --> 02:42:48,920
...enjoyed the honor of a triumph,
a tumultuous parade.

1519
02:42:49,720 --> 02:42:53,640
In the procession came trumpeters
and musicians and strange animals...

1520
02:42:53,880 --> 02:42:55,720
...from the conquered territories...

1521
02:42:56,560 --> 02:43:00,520
... together with carts laden with
treasure and captured armaments.

1522
02:43:01,720 --> 02:43:05,120
The conqueror rode
in a triumphal chariot...

1523
02:43:05,360 --> 02:43:08,520
... the dazed prisoners
walking in chains before him.

1524
02:43:09,400 --> 02:43:12,040
Sometimes, his children,
robed in white...

1525
02:43:12,280 --> 02:43:15,680
...stood with him in the chariot,
or rode the trace horses.

1526
02:43:16,720 --> 02:43:19,560
A slave stood behind the conqueror...

1527
02:43:19,800 --> 02:43:22,320
...holding a golden crown...

1528
02:43:23,000 --> 02:43:25,720
...and whispering in his ear
a warning...

1529
02:43:26,280 --> 02:43:28,120
... that all glory...

1530
02:43:28,600 --> 02:43:30,360
...is fleeting.
