promoting these fools

into officers,
we will surely lose the war.
32
00:01:24,752 --> 00:01:26,712

of professional soldiering
by the aide-de-camp
34

to King Frederick the Great
of Prussia.
35
00:01:32,385 --> 00:01:34,554
- They're learning

36

- Who cares how we stand
if we know how to fight?
37
00:01:37,598 --> 00:01:40,643
We were already starving
and living in rags.
38

If Washington lets von Steuben
keep treating us this way,
39
00:01:44,105 --> 00:01:46,732
he won't have any army at all!
40

about the cold?

It's close enough
to Philadelphia

to keep an eye on Howe
and his winter quarters,
50
00:02:20,892 --> 00:02:24,061
but far enough away to avoid
a surprise attack.
51
00:02:27,106 --> 00:02:28,816
- Poor Philadelphia.

- Don't worry, Henri.
We'll win it back.
53
00:02:31,193 --> 00:02:34,739
- Can't we talk about something
besides more fighting?
54
00:02:34,780 --> 00:02:36,824
- How about Washington
wanting to use this time
55

to train our forces to become
a disciplined army?
56
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,996

who've suffered so much

Valley Forge

69

- Come, James.
Are these not miracles?
70
00:03:42,473 --> 00:03:44,684
A prize of $12 was given

72
00:03:46,686 --> 00:03:50,731
- Maybe you should have
offered more.
73
00:03:50,815 --> 00:03:52,775
- General Washington
refuses to follow
74
00:03:52,858 --> 00:03:54,527
the bad example
of our enemy.
75
00:03:54,610 --> 00:03:56,988
He does not believe

more food for the men
80
00:04:10,292 --> 00:04:11,627
and warm clothes.
81
00:04:11,711 --> 00:04:14,046
- Yes, General Washington
himself is off

00:04:14,130 --> 00:04:16,882
trying to get much needed
supplies from General Green.
83
00:04:16,924 --> 00:04:19,719
But I'm so glad you arrived
before I left.

Generals Conway and Gates

I'm to take it back
from the British

88
00:04:26,767 --> 00:04:29,228
- Sounds like
an interesting story.

00:04:29,311 --> 00:04:30,730
Perhaps we should go

Frederick von Steuben,

a tremendous hero.
99

I'm going to write about this.

He doesn't want the troops to

English is not

In Prussia, to be in uniform

of the government.
198

commander in chief.

Yes.

00:16:20,606 --> 00:16:22,316
You would lose

If this little boy can do it,
why can't you?

General Washington has
told me of your stamina.
336
00:16:27,864 --> 00:16:30,950
Many of you can run a mile
without breathing hard.
337
00:16:30,992 --> 00:16:32,243

But he also told me
340
00:16:35,121 --> 00:16:37,582
that because
you can't run together
341
00:16:37,623 --> 00:16:40,251
you must advance
in single file
342
00:16:40,293 --> 00:16:42,420
to be shot
like ducks in a row.
343
00:16:42,462 --> 00:16:44,964
The army that can
outflank its enemy
344
00:16:45,047 --> 00:16:46,799

345
00:16:46,883 --> 00:16:49,594

Sir, would you please
show us again?
348
00:16:56,017 --> 00:16:58,519

some questions.

Here you are, lad.

Drink the broth slowly.

00:17:31,469 --> 00:17:35,932
- Ask your questions.
360
00:17:36,015 --> 00:17:38,518
- Um, I've heard you were
a lieutenant general
361
00:17:38,559 --> 00:17:39,852
in the Prussian army.
362
00:17:39,894 --> 00:17:41,229
- Bah! Rank!
363
00:17:41,312 --> 00:17:44,524
All I need is this.
Next question.
364
00:17:44,607 --> 00:17:49,362
- Uh, well, how does our army
compare to European armies?
365
00:17:49,445 --> 00:17:50,822
- In other countries,
366
00:17:50,863 --> 00:17:53,699
you tell a soldier
to do something, he does it.
367
00:17:53,783 --> 00:17:56,369
But an American,
he needs a reason,
368
00:17:56,452 --> 00:17:59,038
because this fight
is his fight.
369
00:17:59,121 --> 00:18:01,541
I've never seen such courage.
370
00:18:01,624 --> 00:18:03,793
And in these
wretched conditions,
371
00:18:03,876 --> 00:18:06,462
any other soldier
would've melted away.
372
00:18:06,546 --> 00:18:09,423
I'm thankful Franklin sent me
to be part of this.
373
00:18:09,507 --> 00:18:11,843
- Ben Franklin sent you?
374
00:18:11,884 --> 00:18:15,263
- Yes, he said
Washington's genius is
375
00:18:15,346 --> 00:18:17,348
what he doesn't know,
he learns.
376
00:18:17,390 --> 00:18:20,560
He thought drilling was
a disagreeable necessity,
377
00:18:20,601 --> 00:18:23,354
but now he sees
you drill the men
378
00:18:23,396 --> 00:18:26,315
so each one can be
as strong as the next.
379
00:18:26,399 --> 00:18:30,236
Strong as iron.
380
00:18:30,319 --> 00:18:34,240
- Right, because the weakest
link can destroy the chain.
381
00:18:34,323 --> 00:18:37,451
- James, I've got dirt
on von Steuben.
382
00:18:37,535 --> 00:18:40,246
A solider who served
under him in Prussia
383
00:18:40,329 --> 00:18:41,914
is in this very camp.
384
00:18:41,956 --> 00:18:43,165
He says von Steuben's
385
00:18:43,249 --> 00:18:45,918
neither a baron
nor a general.
386
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:47,044
- You're certain?
387
00:18:47,086 --> 00:18:48,337
- Well, the soldier's
388
00:18:48,421 --> 00:18:49,839
off on patrol,
389
00:18:49,922 --> 00:18:51,257
but I'll ride after him.
390
00:18:51,299 --> 00:18:53,593
When I return
with his testimony,
391
00:18:53,634 --> 00:18:56,762
that will be the end
of our baron.
392
00:18:56,846 --> 00:18:59,265
- He seems to know
what he's doing.
393
00:18:59,348 --> 00:19:03,144
- I'm the solider, James,
not you!
394
00:19:03,227 --> 00:19:06,939
I believe George Washington
will lead us to victory,
395
00:19:06,981 --> 00:19:09,817
and I'm not about
to let this phony baron
396
00:19:09,901 --> 00:19:13,112
destroy our army.
397
00:19:13,195 --> 00:19:14,572
- But--
- James!
398
00:19:14,614 --> 00:19:16,574
We have something urgent
to convey
399
00:19:16,616 --> 00:19:18,492
and can't find
Washington anywhere.
400
00:19:18,576 --> 00:19:20,369
- I last saw him
by the kitchens.
401
00:19:20,453 --> 00:19:23,164
- Kitchens?
What kitchens?
402
00:19:23,247 --> 00:19:24,957
- Nothing is where
we left it.
403
00:19:25,041 --> 00:19:26,459
- Including Washington.
404
00:19:26,500 --> 00:19:28,544
He's off to meet
with General Green.
405
00:19:28,628 --> 00:19:31,380
- But we must warn him
about Gates and Conway.
406
00:19:31,464 --> 00:19:34,467
- He'll be back by morning.
407
00:19:34,550 --> 00:19:37,136
- James, is something
bothering you?
408
00:19:37,178 --> 00:19:40,640
- Captain Treadwell has
bad news about von Steuben.
409
00:19:40,723 --> 00:19:42,475
I must talk
to General Washington.
410
00:19:42,558 --> 00:19:44,018
(wind gusting)
411
00:19:51,442 --> 00:19:53,361
- One, two, three, four!
412
00:19:53,444 --> 00:19:55,363
Left oblique march!
413
00:19:55,446 --> 00:19:57,531
(horse neighs)
414
00:19:57,615 --> 00:20:00,034
- General Washington,
I must speak with you.
415
00:20:00,117 --> 00:20:03,371
The baron is a fraud--
- Don't listen to him, General.
416
00:20:03,454 --> 00:20:06,457
- Your excellency,
we must speak with you.
417
00:20:06,499 --> 00:20:08,417
- I think that--
- Sir, please!
418
00:20:08,501 --> 00:20:11,420
- It's urgent!
- I have vital information!
419
00:20:11,504 --> 00:20:15,883
- One at a time,
one a time!
420
00:20:15,967 --> 00:20:19,303
- Conway and Gates,
they plot against you.
421
00:20:19,345 --> 00:20:22,056
- Yes, I know.
- You do?
422
00:20:22,139 --> 00:20:23,849
- They're fools.
423
00:20:23,933 --> 00:20:25,768
My only concern
was the credibility
424
00:20:25,851 --> 00:20:27,979
they might gain with you
by their side.
425
00:20:28,020 --> 00:20:31,524
But I could never stop you
from trying to regain Canada.
426
00:20:31,607 --> 00:20:34,026
- Vive le general!
427
00:20:34,068 --> 00:20:36,112
Mwah! Mwah!
428
00:20:36,195 --> 00:20:38,990
- They're not the only ones
who deal in trickery.
429
00:20:39,031 --> 00:20:40,241
Look, General!
430
00:20:40,324 --> 00:20:41,409
A signed affidavit
431
00:20:41,492 --> 00:20:43,995
that von Steuben
is not a baron.
432
00:20:44,036 --> 00:20:46,872
- Please, General Washington,
may I speak?
433
00:20:46,956 --> 00:20:50,459
- Wait.
Will you look at that?
434
00:20:50,543 --> 00:20:52,837
- One, two, three, four!
435
00:20:52,878 --> 00:20:55,381
(soldiers)
- One, two, three, four!
436
00:20:55,423 --> 00:20:57,216
- To the rear march!
437
00:20:57,299 --> 00:21:00,094
- To the rear march!
438
00:21:03,889 --> 00:21:06,559
- Captain Treadwell,
baron or not,
439
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,603
von Steuben has given me
what I need,
440
00:21:09,687 --> 00:21:11,814
a professional army.
441
00:21:15,151 --> 00:21:17,611
By the way, General Green
came through

- Come, Captain.
446
00:21:24,577 --> 00:21:25,828
The measure of greatness
447

is create something
with a life of its own.

For Washington,
it is a nation.
449

For von Steuben, it is...
450
00:21:33,461 --> 00:21:35,254
an army.
