I'm happy to have you along.

Good morning Corporal.

I'm recommending that you not be sent back to your unit

The damage to your your back has healed enough I think for now

we'll have the therapists take a look at you next week or so

My back feels fine sir

I think I should head back
to my Battalion

before they leave without me

I'm afraid that's not possible

The review board won't clear you

I'm not a quitter sir

I don't want to go home I want to be with my unit

I never said you were Corporal

The board will review mine and the therapist's notes

and they'll make a decision

It's admin

Come on Sir

you know I'm fit enough

can't you put in a good word
for me?

Thanks

and no I won't

my job is to assess you
and that's it

you're not the only one in here

mind you you are the only idiot

that's putting up a fuss about going back to England

I don't want to go back to England sir

it's wet all the time

Wear a raincoat then.

The heinies saying something.

No, they're singing.

Sounds like they've
been at the Schnapps again.

Shut up, you Jerry bastards!

Leave them be or they'll be at it all night.

Try to get some sleep.

We should drop some mortar shells on them

to shut them up!

Well...

our mortar platoon's asleep.

- so good luck with that

Let me know how you get on.

(German) drunken singing

They're getting on my nerves.

Hey, Jerry!

Why don't you say
something decent for once?

(German) Hey Englander -keep the noise down

Hitler....

- has only got one ball.

Goering...

- has two but very small.

Himmler....

- has something similar.

But poor old Goebels has no balls at all!

Hey, shut the hell up, you lot!

Oi! Slacker!

Jack.

What's up man, you still
faking it?

Piss off.

What are you doing here?

What's going on?
What are you doing here?

Come on, since when do I smoke?

Alright.

What's going on?

Haven't a clue. I had a leave pass,

so I'm just
heading back now myself.

Oh, some of the
fellas from A Company

did say
something about a move, so...

Oh, got you something.

Oh, you beauty.

Now that, there,

- is some local homegrown French brew, so...

Don't bother asking
me what's in it, just, uh...

Don't drink it all
at once. You might go blind.

Hey, then I can
get a matching pair, eh?

Idiot....

So, what'd the medics say?

Dunno.

Review board is coming up in a few days, and then I can

get out of here
and catch up with you

suckers before
you leave without me.

Are you daft, or what?

I will go mad if I stay here.

That, or they'll stick me in some depot

with a bunch of new kids.

Hell with that.

- Look, Roy,
things are different now.

The quartermaster came by

- and he dropped off windproof smocks

and even winter whites.

So we're not
going home anytime soon.

And these jerrys, they're
even more stubborn than you are.

They don't ever quit.

Just fire and maneuver.

It's not like Normandy.

- I can't stay here.

- You know, me and
a lot of the other guys

would be happy to
get out of this place.

- Yeah, yeah.

That's why I don't want to
be stuck here on my Jack Jones.

- Yeah, all right, all right.

- Put in a word
for me with the old man.

He'll sort me out, you'll see.

- Standards are slipping.

- All right, all
right, you know what?

- Yeah.

You've only got one eyeball left.

Best keep it. Alright?

I'll bust outta here. You'll see.

You'll see!

You bastards!

Son of a bitch!

(KUIPERS) Good morning Sergeant

Keeping an eye on everyone
for us?

If they break the law, then yes.

You know what I mean.

Actually no.

You Dutch think we're going to run away

just because the allies are nearby?

I'm a policeman.

What do I know about such things?

Damn clog-wearers!

No wonder you lot gave up
after only five days.

Us? You're not Dutch?

Me?

The hell I am!

[SERGEANT] Let's go! >

Alright, let's have you.

O group is starting.

Get yer arses in there.

Thanks for the ride boys!

- You're like a bad smell, pal.

- Miss me then?

- Not really.

You in on this latest shindig too?

- Apparently they
thought you'd be a safety hazard

without me.

- Your dreams, pal.

- Oh, you
know, the way you shoot.

- All right, come
on, let's get in there

before we get spammed with something, all right?

- Corporal, the
QM said you were back.

That would explain
his missing windproof smocks.

Don't know what
you're talking about, sir.

- Of course not.

- Bunch of scavenging magpies.

Anything shiny's fair game for you lot.

Alright, here, close in lads.

Now I got a shit job for you.

Brigade recce task.

This town here, the other side of this

river here, the IJssel.

It's a mixed bag of SS
and regular army still in there,

supposedly about two
battalion strength or smaller.

These buggers
are not giving up.

You'd have thought
they'd have had enough by now,

but there you are.

Brigade artillery
is gonna start a fire plan

tomorrow morning at
0700, right before A Company

pushes in using
this main route as a handle.

The Brits are gonna be
on our northeast on our flank.

Roger so far?

Division G2
folks say we need to verify

the amount of
enemy presence in town.

After OP Plunder
and the amount of artillery

that 9 Brigade used,
apparently we have to try

not to lay waste
to another Dutch town.

Their government
complained the last time.

So I need some
volunteers tonight.

Recce the town, verify
the presence of Dutch civilians.

Be back here by 0600.

Sergeant Scott here will give the winners a bottle of booze.

- Fat chance, sir.

- All right, need two of you.

Light fighting order
only, weapons and grenades.

- Stick me down, Sarge.

- All right.

- Anyone else wanna
go with him to make sure

he doesn't get lost
in the local black market?

I'll go with him.

Make sure he doesn't get lost.

- Don't try anything
or do anything more stupid

than you
normally would, all right?

I mean it, boys.

- I'm not too
far along in the game

for you to
try to prove anything.

Sergeant Scott here
will sort you out for maps

and any A Company
forward OP locations.

Bing, send A Company a
warning order for tomorrow.

No move before 0600.

- Plenty more of
these if you need them.

- Thank you Sarge.

- Oh yeah, I'm taking
lots of these just in case.

Why won't these stupid
Heinies give up and go home?

- Don't they
know they're beaten?

- No, that's
why we gotta push them

all the way
back to sausage land.

- At least the
weather cleared up.

- Heads up, lads.

Drop shorts incoming.

- Have you guys seen
the battery commander about?

You know you guys are wasting your time going on a recce.

We're gonna be shooting
A Company in on the objective

with bags of HE.

Your lot won't hit the target anyway.

Probably just blow up some windmills and cheese factories.

Besides,

- the Colonel wants a recce done before your lot let rip.

- Oh, well. We'll see.

And we're
sending our best then.

Cyclops and the,
uh, spit and polish kid?

- You got something to say?

- If the cap fits.

- You go and stick your cap
then you bleeding war dodger!

- Watch your mouth, Corporal!

- Hey! I'm ordering
you to sling your hook, too.

Go on! Get out of it!

Don't mind him.

Just get a decent recce done.

Get the CO what he needs.

Don't worry about us.
We're fine.

I worry about A Company.
They're gonna get a kicking

if they go into
that town without artillery.

Yeah, but the town's
gonna get a shellacking, too,

based on what
they did on Plunder.

I mean, that was
the whole division artillery,

showed up for that one.

Just do your bit.

No heroics, like
the old man said, right?

Well...

Hopefully the jerries have gotten the message

- and cleared out.

No. Add these to the burn pile.

The others keep over there

in case we need to get rid of them quickly.

[SERGEANT] From Sergeant Koch sir.

Here. Take this back.

Yes sir. What about Sergeant
Beck's guys near the bridge?

What about them?

They said they could hear tracked vehicles

about thirty minutes ago from the west.

Not from the south? Dammit!

Ok.

Tell Koch to send two of his guys

over to Beck's location at the bridge

and make sure their landline is working.

I need those contact reports as they come in.

Sir!

Get hold of Lieutenant Vogt.

Ludwig!

How is it down there? Anything?

No...?

Good.

Sergeant Beck's location reports

some contact towards the west of your position.....

Yes. past the swing bridge.

Get a standing patrol out there quickly.

I need to know where these British are heading.

You have to make do with what you have.

We're it I'm afraid.

The 15th Grenadiers have

already pulled back to Enschede.

Ok, do your best.

Last man, last bullet and all that crap right...

Good, alright.

Keep your ears on the radio you!

Close the curtain!

That's the third patrol in the past hour.

Something must be happening.

Frits said that the Canadians and British

had crossed the IJssel at Deventer two days ago.

They should just let the Germans leave quietly

or else they'll destroy this place.

(Jack) All good?

- Another klick up ahead.

Should find some
houses before the railway line.

Bound to be some jerry's there.

- All right, let's keep moving.

- The clock's ticking.

- Well, that answers the
question about the heinies.

- Yeah.

We should find some locals.

Ask them if they know
what's going on around here.

- No, no, not at this time.

They put out a curfew,
no one's gonna be on the street.

- This house is occupied.

I can see them moving inside.

- And what are you gonna do?

You gonna ask
them for a cup of sugar?

Why don't we just
get back to battalion?

- It'll take two minutes.

- Ah.

- Canadian, we have to come in.

- Just get in there, will ya?

What's wrong?

We don't have anything.

These guys are scared to death.

- I would be too

- if I lived under the jerries for four years.

Here.

See, Canada.

Can-a-da.

They are Allies! Canadian.

They are here. They are here(!)

Are there many of you?

Are the Germans still here?

Germans.

Deutsch.

Where?

If the Germans come looking for
them, we'll be shot.

You have to leave, please.

The Germans...they are still here?

- These people are starving.

Look.

Here, kiddo.

It's good.

Chocolate.

Germans

Deutsch soldaten

Where?

Germans..?

They are based in the town centre.

There are patrols on all the roads.

But you should leave.

It's not safe for us.

- I haven't a
clue what she's saying,

but I think she means
the jerrys are still in town.

- Yeah, these
people are scared shitless too.

All right.

Let's get out of
here, push further into town,

see what we can see.

- Oh, whoa, whoa.

You kidding, Roy?

There's obviously
still plenty of jerrys here.

That scout car
didn't come from miles away.

It has to be based here.

Let's get back and tell the CO

that the place is still held.

- Yeah, then they'll
waste this place with artillery

rather than sending
the companies unsupported.

People like these will
be caught in the middle of it.

- That's not our job.

You let the
officers worry about that.

These Germans won't ever quit.

Don't you get that?

These people could
have made their choices

and evacuated too, as
they should have done weeks ago.

Shh...just be quiet!

- No.

No, we can't do that.

It'll be a massacre for the town if they shell this place.

I have an idea.

Let's try to
bag ourselves a prisoner

and bring it
back to the battalion.

That way, the old man can have him questioned and everything

and figure out
what their strength.

- Have you lost your mind?

The CO said, "recce only."

No heroics, you remember that?

Look, it's
tough on these folks.

I get it.

Tough on them and
all the thousands we've seen

since we landed.

- Okay.

Okay, how do you propose we
get some decent intell?

- I don't know.

Let's just get
out of here and carry on.

- All right.

We will come back.

Come on, come on.

Let's just go.

- You okay?

- Yeah.

Yeah.

I thought that guy had me.

- Two of them went
up towards the canal.

- Stealth's out,
they know we're here.

We could use this.

- If we attack
more than forward positions,

then they'll
think they're being attacked

by the whole battalion.

We could get them
to clear out on their own

and we won't
have to shell them.

Where did he say he heard it? From who?

Kloostermann.

I need to go and speak to the others.

Get them ready.

Things will change pretty quickly around here.

Are your men ready for that?

Well, they will need to decide one way or the other

which side they're on.

I hear Zutphen fell after only 2 days.

Put these someplace safe until the Allies come.

Then you may need to use them.

[LOTTE} See you.

[KUIPERS] See you.

And not a word about this! Ok?

- What's that over there?

Come on.

I think
there's someone in there.

- Hey, hey!

Dutch.

Dutch.

English?

- Canadian.

- Come quickly.

Here, come in.

Come.

Sit.

Sit.

- Relax.

Seems like he's
part of the local police.

- I don't know.

Aren't they
all in with the Nazis?

- Don't know.

Don't think this one is.

We heard you were nearby.

The Germans
are still here though.

- Are there many of them?

The Germans.

- Yes, many hundreds.

In the town,
in the square, in the canal.

- Can you help us?

- Yes, but what can we do?

The Germans are
many and have many guns.

- Are there any resistance people here in the town?

- Yes, some, but not many guns.

- Now you have one more.

- Can you find the resistance?

- Yes.

Yes, but when are
the Canadian is coming?

We cannot fight
the Germans on ourselves.

- Listen.

tomorrow morning the
Canadian artillery is going to

shell the town at 7 a.m.
before an attack on the Germans.

- Whoa, what are you doing?

You're telling him the plans?

We're not sure if
he's on our side or not.

- Oranja.

See?

Oranja!

So what's that mean?

- That's their resistance
or Dutch liberation something.

I think we're safe.

Look, we need to
get the Nazis to clear out

because the
shelling will destroy the city.

I suppose you heard about what happened in Zütphen last week.

- It's my daughter.

Look...

- we need to get
the Nazis to think that they're

being attacked all over so
that way that they'll pull out.

- Pull out?

- Yes.

Leave.

Go away.

That way
there'll be no shelling.

- I will see what I can do.

I will talk
to my Oranja people.

But where do go now?

- Further into town,

- we need to see where some of their outposts are.

We are here, yes?

- Nay.

Here.

And here is a
German outpost by Osterland.

By a bridge over the railway.

And here is a farm
owned by Kuipers van Gelder.

And there is a
barn that you can use too.

He is one of us.

I will speak to my Oranja people and I will meet you

in that barn in two hours.

- Excellent.

All right, come on man.

We gotta get going.

I don't like hanging around

- Yes.

Let's check out
that outpost he mentioned.

It's barely 500 meters away.

Get all the help you can.

We're gonna need it.

I want to do something. I'm old enough.

Even Hendrik is helping the NBS now.

You never let me do anything to help. You always say...

[KUIPERS] NO! JANNA!

Its too dangerous.

Yes. That's what you always tell me

but the Canadians will be here tomorrow

or maybe the next day.

And I want to do something.

I want you to stay here.

Please just do this for me, OK!?

#Lainey#

#Yes Pa...#

#sings Dutch nursery rhyme#

#Lainey#

I'm not a little girl anymore.

[KUIPERS] #Lainey#

#Yes Papa#

#sings Dutch nursery rhyme#

#Lainey#

[JANNA] # Yes Papa#

#sings Dutch nursery rhyme#

You say the same things always!

It's consistent!

Lock the door after me and get to bed.

Yes Papa.

Sir!

Sir!!

Contact reports!

What time is it?

[RADIO OPERATOR] 1 a.m.

Alright. What's happening?

Sir, we have contact reports from 3rd platoon.

Grenade and automatic fire thirty minutes ago.

Any casualties?

One 3rd platoon guy,

but four of them missing also.

This was their outpost?

[SERGEANT] Yes!

[SERGEANT] Before that, these two came from

Sergeant Beck's outpost by the canal bridge.

Canadians attacked there about an hour ago. Two killed.

These two go away and er...you tell the Captain.

Sir. They attacked so quickly...

How many?

[SOLDIER] Two Sir!

Two (?)

Yes sir. They were Canadians.

And one of them had an eyepatch.

[CAPTAIN] What?

An eyepatch Sir.

Like a pirate Sir!

Yes I know what an eyepatch is!

You two, ouside now!

This is damn ridiculous!

We have pirates running around inside our perimeter now(?)

We're the bloody army not the Navy!

Get around all the platoons.

I want fighting patrols stood to immediately.

Focus on 1st and 2nd platoon in Number 2 Company.

Right. Get moving,

and I want situation reports every 30 minutes!

Yes sir! We'll find these Canadian backwoods yokels.

Yes? Who the hell are you?

Sir. I can help you. I work at the telephone exchange.

Ok, so what?

We're a bit late for civilian volunteers around here miss.

What the hell did you bring her in here for private?

The oranje resistance people have been waiting

for the Allies to arrive,

and now they are coming together against you.

Who are you? And how do you know this?

I work at the telephone exchange.

I hear what people are saying.

They try to hide it of course but...

I know things you see.

[CAPTAIN] Yes...

These oranje people think

they are better than the rest of us.

Even the local police are part of them.

Go on. What else?

Some other men came into the town last week.

I don't know who

but I know which part of town
they went to.

I can help you and you can help me also right?

Take her to Lieutenant Vogt. Tell him what she told me.

I want to hear if these oranje are in a group.

Right away you understand.

Indeed.

And you will take care of me?

- Recce patrol back yet?

- Not yet, sir.

- Maybe we
shouldn't have sent them in.

What do you think?

- Don't know, sir.

Job needed doing.

They'll be all right.

I'll get A
Company Sergeant Major

to keep an eye out for them.

They're the closest.

- All right then, good idea.

Thank you, Sergeant Scott.

Let me know when
they come back in, will you?

- Will do, sir.

- Fancy a drive?

- Looks like it's just him.

I don't see anyone else.

- What should
we do with this guy?

- Let's stick him in there.

Make him drive.

- Come on, go!

- Get behind him.

Make sure he doesn't get any funny ideas.

Eyes front.

- We going
back to the battalion?

- I don't know.

Let's drive around a
little bit, see what we can see.

- I can't believe this.

- Oi, forward, lights on.

- Licht!

- Forward, Jerry!

- All right, Jack,
let's do a drive-by shooting.

Come on!

- More on the left.

Here's a message from Canada!

- Jack, eyes up.

Checkpoint ahead.

What the hell?

- Down, down!

Get down!

Get down!

Hande hoch!

Hande hoch!

Get those
weapons down, you bastard!

Hande hoch!

- Get them down!

- Let me see those hands!

Let me see them!

Hande hoch!

- Down, Jerry!

Come on!

- Get over here!

- Move it, move it!

Move those feet!

- Come on, get it, come on!

- Move it!

- Come on!

- Come on!

- Come on!

- Come on!

- We don't got enough
room for them in that thing.

We gotta go on foot.

- Come on, just leave them here before they do something.

They got intel, Jack, and they're scared shitless.

- I don't care!

Let's just go
before they do something.

- Okay, go!

- Shit!

- Damn it!

Damn it!

- They're shooting their own guys!

- What the hell?

- Go, go, go!

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Go, go, go!

- Keep going, get going!

- Go, go, go!

Move!

Leave it, Jerry.

Just keep walking.

- Yeah, real
tough man now, aren't you?

Hold up!

I'm gonna go ahead and make sure the OP isn't jumpy.

You, down.

Down to the ground!

Sergeant?

- Sir,

- the battery commander passes his compliments.

We're bombed
up and ready to go.

We've received extra bags of HE

- and are standing by for h-hour.

Thank you Sergeant.

Remind the BK that we will be waiting

for my recce patrol to report in

before we give you authority to fire.

But sir....

I understood that that brigade arty was given

free fire zone to shoot your companies in?

Brigade arty will wait for my recce report Sergeant.

Is there anything else?

No, sir.

Anything from A company?

Just a routine
sit-rep about an hour ago, sir.

It's in the log.

What is she doing here?

I'm here to see your husband if that is ok?

Have you spoken to Mr. Maartens this week?

No.

Well please tell me if you do.

I will let you know if I see Maartens.

Good.

Sir, the recce patrol's back with a few prisoners.

Can I bring them in?

The recce patrol or the prisoners?

Both, sir.

Very good.

Bring them in.

Bing, cover up
the map, would you?

Here.

Thanks.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's right.

Boys, it's good to see you back.

So what's the
situation out there?

There's still a ton more in town

- mostly on the approach roads.

We hit up a few of
them before nabbing these three.

Do they say anything?

No, sir.

These two are
fit to shit themselves,

but this one has
a fair bit of attitude.

What are you looking at Canuck?!

You men speak any German?

Well, it doesn't look like

they're giving up in droves, though.

Best take them over to the 2IC.

He can process them.

Get the MPs to take
him to the brigade cage.

All right.

Sir, there's something else.

Yes.

The town is still full of civilians.

They haven't left yet
and they haven't even started.

We ran into one
of the local resistance,

and he says that there
are a few teams

- but disorganized.

With respect, sir,

- I know that A Company is preparing to go in,

but if you shell the town, it's going

to be a slaughter for the civilians.

Can't you call it off or delay?

Look, I know,
Corporal, but it'll be

even worse if A
Company goes in unsupported.

No,

unless the Germans are willing to pull back.

It doesn't look like
they're that willing to quit.

Then H-hour still stands.

Sir, that's absolutely stupid.

Excuse me?

That town is
chock full of civilians.

The Germans are
surrendering with

- barely a fight.

Now, I know we follow
orders and everything, sir,

and I don't
know about you, but I'm

not in the
business of killing civilians.

We don't...

If we shell
this town, it'll make

Dresden look like
a kid's Halloween party.

Hey, that's enough.

I know, Corporal.

It's been a long night.

Sir, with all due respect,

- but you are not listening.

We've spoken to civilians
and the local resistance guys,

and they're just
waiting for us to go in.

The Germans
aren't even dug in yet.

They're driving
around in soft-skinned vehicles.

We don't need
to shellack the shit out

of this place
like we did in Zütphen.

This is different.

Corporal,

- I appreciate your input as an experienced scout.

I do.

It's bigger than just us.

It's a much bigger picture
than just the two of you,

- all right?

Look, all of...

All of 2nd and 3rd Division are

moving up
north towards Grottingen.

There's another 5
divisions to the east,

pushing the Krauts
back across the border.

Now it's a
shit deal for the Dutch.

I get it.

But you, Sergeant Scott here,

You, all of us,

we are in the business of

killing the enemy until he quits.

I have my orders,
and you have your orders.

I need you to focus
on that right now, okay?

Sorry, sir.

It's no problem

Now,

I need a better idea of the enemy strength in town.

You've run into
what, two enemy up posts so far?

3, sir. All facing
east, towards A Company.

All right. Give Sergeant Scott

the map
references you have so far.

I need a clearer view
of the enemy strength in town,

especially
their concentration areas,

and any depth positions along A

Company's axis
of advance, all right?

Yes, sir.

Till then, H Hour still stands

with artillery
saturation at 0700.

Unless you
give me a reason not to.

You've got 4
hours till we attack.

Hey, boys. Take what
you need and bomb back up.

We only have a few hours left.

Thanks, Sarge.

What were you doing back there?

You don't yap
at the CO like that.

It's a bloody good
job the RSM wasn't there.

He would have stuck his pace-stick through your ears

and rode you around the battalion

like a bloody motorbike.

I know, I know,
Sarge, but you weren't there.

It'll be a
slaughter for the civilians.

It's just wrong is what it is.

Well, then it's
up to the two of you to

get a better ground
picture for the old man,

and sharpish, too.

Yeah, yeah, quit beating
my ears.

You sound like my old man.

I am your old man.

You don't have to
come with me, you know.

I'm good on my own.

I can find that police
guy. Get the resistance going.

Jack.

I heard you.

The boss wants more intel, so

let's just go and get it done then, right?

Coming?

See you in a few, Sarge.

Maybe have a brew ready when we get back.

Janna.

Papa...

What?

Nothing!

Where were you?

Aren't you supposed to be in bed?

I can't sleep.

Those men who were here.

They're Canadians, aren't they?

I've seen German trucks leaving town today.

That's not for you to get involved in Janna!

Why not? But you can?

It's my job.

It's not your job to be part of the NBS.

The oranje though....

JANNA!

Mama would have let me help!

ENOUGH!

Sir. 1st Platoon got hit about an hour ago.

Some of the men there surrendered. Several casualties.

Where were they?

Just here.

[SERGEANT] The Canadians were last seen heading east again.

Scouts or a main force attack?

Not sure Sir.

Some of the outposts reported attacks

from Canadians in vehicles further up the road.

I'd say this is from fighting patrols.

There are at least two allied battalions out to the east.

We'll need to keep this corridor open out to the northwest

unless we plan on being circled.

I thought our orders were to stay and hold?

Those are MY orders Sergeant!

Your orders are to stop these enemy probes into our lines.

Take your men and reinforce 1st Platoon Troop's area.

Put out a few snap ambushes.

Yes sir!

And get me a prisoner. I want to know what we are up against.

What's he doing?

- I don't know.

Probably more nearby.

- No, I don't like this.

This doesn't feel right.

Why is he just standing there?

- Well,

- let's give him a quick squirt and get out of here.

Three more coming this way down the street.

[SERGEANT] Spread out!

- Let's make it a
real quick squirt then.

- No, no, no, no.

Are you deaf?

There's too many of them.

- I got an idea.

You'll really like this.

- No.

No, there's too many.

- Fire in the hole.

Grenade!

Shit, a dud, go!

Fire Fire!

- You bloody idiot.

Now look what you did.

You're gonna get us killed.

Oh, damn it.

Come on.

- See, go, go, go, go, go.

They're gonna cut us off.

- Move, move, this way.

Come on, come on.

Go! Get after them!

Go! Get after them!

You! Go! Get after them!

Shit! You two, over the wall.

You two with me!

- What the heck was that?

- Well, we made
it out of there, okay?

- Yeah, barely.

We barely made it out.

- Relax.

We'll head back
to the battalion now.

- Oh, you're damn right,
we're heading back to battalion.

We're heading straight
back to give this CO our report,

and he will make the
tactical plans,

not you, you maniac.

- Take it easy, keep it down.

- You ran around the
town like General Custer,

Relax, keep your voice down.

Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah,

cause you've been running around

like a church mouse, haven't you?

- Shh.

- Come on, we
should get out of here.

Hey you. Halt!

Stay right there you!

This is one of the people you are looking for Sergeant!

I wasn't doing anything!

- Yes, sir.

Yes, sir, Alpha
and Charlie companies.

Be ready to move for 0600.

Bravo company will
be in reserve with mortars.

That's right, sir,

- we sent a couple of prisoners your way

a couple hours
ago, but we still believe

that the town
is held in strength.

Looks like a
repeat of Zutphen, I'm afraid.

Very good, sir, I will.

Thanks, Bing.

- Heck of a lot of
noise coming from town, sir.

Sounds like a
pretty big contact, too.

- Boys, you think?

- Must be, can't be Aa company's area.

- Looks like they
found some of the enemy.

- Think they'll pull
out or stick around for a scrap?

- Hard to say.

The last few weeks
have been any indication

they're not
willing to give up at all.

It sure as hell
won't surrender to the Dutch,

not after the
way they've been treated.

No, I think they
put up a pretty good fight.

Yes, but what about the parachute landings last week?

They will be between us.

Where's the map for the north?

Ok, I can hold here for tonight

Unless we get a major push

but will start moving companies out in a few hours

to the next assembly point.

Very good Sir.

Let all the companies know to start withdraw plans at 0600

unless they hear otherwise.

I'm going to get some air.

You wanted to hear from the telephone exchange woman.

Yes?

The Dutch woman. About resistance?

Yes, yes. What's wrong?

We found one. What do you want me to do with her?

Stick her in the back room for now.

I'll get hold of the local Gestapo,

if they haven't left yet.

Very good Sir.

Bring them through!

Captain...

We have one of the oranje people now.

Perhaps you would be so good as to provide protection for me.

What?

You promised me protection...

You forget yourself Miss!

I promised you nothing.

You made your bed, now you lie in it.

But...

Sir, you ...

...you promised...

Go wait with the prisoner for now. Make yourself useful.

Hey! Movement on the road!

Shit, stoppage!! Clear it quick!

You know what to do, right?

You know what to do?

You got yourself together.

You just got to
eat, sleep, lay eggs.

Assuming
you're not a guy, chicken.

Oh. Don't shoot. It's ok.

Kuipers sent me. It's ok.

Kuipers

Kuipers sent me.

He is coming... coming here.

Here, some drink for you.

Thank you.

Canada?

Canada.

Van Ganna?

Van Gelder

Van Gelder

Thank you.

They have Janna.

Who?

My daughter.

The Germans took her.

When?

One of our people
saw her on the Canal Bridge

with the NSB woman
who is with the Germans.

I don't know
what Janna was doing.

Where is your comrade?

Dead.

He's dead.

German machine gun got him.

He was tired.

I think.

I didn't listen.

I just wanted to keep going.

We are all tired.

Look, we tried.

But there are too many
Germans,

- and I can't clear a whole town

by myself.

But what
about the Canadian Army?

They won't send in
the troops without artillery.

I can't convince
my commanding officer.

It's standard
operating procedure now.

Nobody wants
to send in their units

and then take a
bunch of casualties.

But Dutch
people killed is OK then?

And they will
destroy the town too.

The people inside,
the Germans won't care,

so they won't let anyone leave.

I tried.

Jack tried.

We have been
here for over four years,

with the Germans
waiting for your people to come.

I am sorry for your friend.

But do you know how many
Dutch

have been killed and taken away

by the Nazis?

Hundreds, just from here.

Thousands from
all over Netherlands.

Regular people, like my daughter.

I'm sorry about Janna,

but there is nothing else I can do.

There's nothing--

Like what?

I can't--

I can't borrow a tank or yell at a general

or anything.

You said you could help.

No, I can't.

So you know what?

Just leave it.

You are hurt.

No.

It's my back.

It's sore from
explosion from a while back.

And uh...

Normandy, another explosion.

Seems you are not so lucky.

Guess not.

No.

That is my friend.

Hey. Any problems?

No. Pretty quiet.

Only one soldier?

I thought they were all coming.

Apparently not yet.

But they are just out there in the fields waiting?

I know... I know.

We have about 2 hours left.

Can we get some more weapons from the Canadians?

She wants to
know if your commander

can give us some weapons.

Not sure.

Probably a
little late for that now.

Here.

You can have these.

You know Janna was probably taken

to the Nazi building on Mainstraat.

What did she say about Jana?

She says they took her
to the German headquarters.

That's where the main
officer or the prefect is based.

And this is their base.

Is it big?

No, not so big.

It's where they coordinate everything.

It used to be the town hall.

Just a few rooms.

How many people can you get?

Well, the two of us, but
more will come

if the Canadians attack.

Look, if we can get an
attack on the Nazi headquarters,

they'd have
to report with radio.

And with no more
reinforcements pushing forward,

they'd have to pull back.

There are British and
Canadian units already north

So if they don't get
out of here, they'd be cut off.

Can you --

- show me where the street is

- and what it looks like?

I may have an idea.

It's a little hunt on the end.

This is the main headquarters.

Get em!

Fire!

Watch the side. That side!

Get the door!

Get grenades in the window!

Grenades the window!

Leave that!

Send a contact report and get hold of Regiment quickly.

What the hell is going on? Somebody report!

You two! Cover the windows. Close that door!

Regiment says there are no reserves

and we are to hold in place.

Hold in place, my ass! This place is collapsing fast.

Sergeant. Send a runner to the other platoons.

Tell them to start their move north.

And where the hell is our guard force!

They're still out reinforcing the outposts sir!

Damn this is turning into a shit show!

Okay. Okay.

Destroy the set and the logs and get your gear together.

How sir?

I don't care! Just break it up
somehow.

Watch the door! They're coming in the door!

[CAPTAIN] Leave her.

Get your men out
the back!

Janna!

No! Papa!!

Janna!

[SERGEANT] YOU!?

Janna!

Coffee, sir?

- No, no thank
you, Sergeant Scott.

I've been
drinking it all night.

Gonna be pissing
like a racehorse all day now.

- 30 minutes, we're
gonna have to call it, sir.

- Think they'll be back?

- I don't know.

Maybe they're holed up somewhere

waiting for us to start moving.

- Yeah, maybe.

We've lost so many
good boys just to get this far.

- I hope we'd be done by now.

- Agreed.

- Good to keep going.

We cannot leave her.

- Guys, you can't stay here.

If the Germans
fortified for their positions,

we don't have
enough to hold them off.

You're right.

We must go.

Hey. I heard from Martens

that the Germans are also retreating from the town centre

- Look, we have
maybe an hour or less.

Canadian artillery starts at 0700.

If the Nazis are
clearing out all across town,

maybe we can get
the artillery to stop

if we have some
people out on the streets.

- They won't go
because of the curfew.

- Yes, but
there are no Germans left

to enforce that curfew.

I need to get the
message back to my battalion.

If you start going house
to house, we can get people out.

- I don't know,
there's lots of houses

and there's lots of doors.

- There's gonna be lots
of dead people if we don't try.

What about the radio?

Get on the radio for the morning broadcast

and tell the people that the Germans are leaving.

[LOTTE] They will all come outside to celebrate.

- She says if
we go on the radio,

then we can
tell the people that way.

- Yes, yes, the
radio, that's perfect.

And then the
artillery observers

will see
people out in the streets.

- Look, pal, I'm
really sorry about Jana.

I really am.

And if you
don't help us right now,

there's gonna be a
lot of other dead people too.

Here.

Head to the radio station.

Get them broadcasting.

Lotte will start going
door to door to get people out.

You'll wanna start
on the east end of town,

closest to our soldiers.

Begin about
here and here, okay?

- Okay.

- First piece of combat for ya?

Well, doesn't get any easier.

But if we
finish this off tonight,

you'll never have
to do that again, got it?

- Got it.

- I will meet you
at the center of town.

- Yes, and I will
go to the radio station.

- Thank you, good luck.

Who is it?

[KUIPERS] Police! Open up!

Start up your machines.

What? Says who?

Where is the town police captain?

You don't have that authority!

I say so!

The Germans are leaving the town.

Start it up!

I can't!

WHY NOT!?

I don't have the key for the transmitter.

Well go get the damn thing!

Hurry up!

- Did you get him?

- I don't know.

- What do you have?

- Dunno Sarge, looks
like a jerry in camo gear.

- Let me have your binos.

- You stupid morons, it's me!

Canadian!

I am Canadian!

- Cease fire!

- do you hear something?

# Has only got one ball...! Goering.. #

# has two but very small, Himmler...#

- Ha, it's Roy
and Jack, they're back.

# Hitler has
only got one ball, Goering...#

# has two but very small, Himmler...#

# is rather similar...#

# but poor old Goebels has no balls at all. #

- Stop all
that noise you vagrant,

you couldn't
sing to save your life.

- Where did you two learn how to shoot?

Where's Jack?

- MG42 got him last
night, he's still in town,

I had to leave him.

- I know, look, I need
to talk to the boss right away.

The Germans are clearing out,

the artillery
needs to be scrubbed,

it's just civilians back there.

We gotta get
moving, A Company's

are already in
their starting point.

What do I do with this?

Just talk into the microphone.

Now?

Not yet. When this light comes on then you can talk.

Townspeople.

This is Officer Kuipers...

Of the police.

After four years,

the German occupiers have left or are leaving our town.

Hmm. They're late this morning.

The Canadian army has been fighting in the streets

since last night.

A Canadian battalion is approaching from the east.

I am calling on all the people,

get outside onto the streets to welcome the Canadians.

I repeat, the German occupiers have left the streets.

The Canadian army is approaching from the east of the town.

Finally!

Please take to the streets to welcome them.

This is Police Officer Kuipers.

That is all!

It is true? They are really gone?

They are gone.

Oranje boven!

Play the anthem! All day!

Group target!

Group target!

Take post!

Shell mark two!

Correct, load!

Stand by!

Corporal!

Good to see you back.

Where's your shadow?

Sir, Jack didn't make it.

Ah, sorry to hear that.

Look, you can sit this one out.

You've had a long
enough night, I think.

Sir, you need
to call off the attack.

The Germans cleared out of
the town center

over an hour ago,

and the local
resistance is in the streets.

Son there's over
1,500 of the enemy in town.

You're sure they
can't have recce'd them all.

Straight up, sir.

The civilians
are all that's left back there.

We took the
Nazi HQ with the resistance.

The Germans put up a
scrap, but they're all gone now.

Here, look, sir.

This is all the
gen I got from their CP.

We just walked right in.

Get a hold of
the 2IC.

Have them join us
with the Int officer.

Yes, sir.

Bing, contact
the gun line right away.

Sir, we're not
on the same net, but I

can contact the
brigade major, though.

Alright, quickly then.

Sergeant, the battery commander's on the horn!

Seriously?

Talk about last minute.

Observer party.

Yes, sir. Ready to fire.

No, sir. I'll take a look.

Sir, I can see dismounted

personnel in the
streets. Not military.

They look like civilians.

Yes, sir.

Get G Battery, tell them check firing and standby.

Yes, Sergeant.

Check firing,
check firing. Make safe.

Standby.

Well, well,
gunners are on standby for now.

G Company FOO,

reports Dutch civilians filling out the streets.

A Company will step
off as planned at 0700, but

they'll
advance to contact just in

case there's
any jerries still around.

Looks like your town
recce did a lot of good.

Jack's death
wasn't for nothing.

Let's hope he's the last.

Hope so.

We've had way too many of these.

Sergeant Scott, can you
take care of this with RSM?

Will do sir.

If it's all
right, sir, I'd like to join

A Company's
reserves as they go into town.

It'd be nice to
see it during the day, and

there's something
I need to take care of.

Sure, link up
with A Company CSM.

Let them know
you talked to me first.

Oh, Corporal.

I had a word with the RSM.

I'm putting you in for a medal for last night's action.

I'll need a patrol
report and a write-up too, but

you certainly proved
yourself, time and time again.

One moment.

- I never
thought this day would come.

- Well, we're here now.

I'd consider yourselves liberated.

- Would they be staying long?

- Who?

- Us?

- For protection,
will they be here long.

- A day or two,

maybe, to reorganize and then further north.

Push the Nazis
back where they came from.

- I don't see the Jerries

coming back anytime soon,

not when they're retreating all the way

across the front.

- I think your
friend Jack would like this.

- Yeah.

I think he'd polish his boots especially for today.
