1 00:02:38,920 --> 00:02:42,750 What supplies have you got left? -Hardly any at all. 2 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:52,350 I'm being followed. 3 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:54,950 You sure? -Yes. 4 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,870 It's not an accident or a chance move? It's me they're following. 5 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,160 You thought I was being tailed yesterday. 6 00:03:00,190 --> 00:03:03,430 Yeah, I didn't see anybody. You know, just a feeling I had. 7 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,710 But if you felt it, the chances are you're right. 8 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,150 Where is he? -Outside in the square. 9 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,430 The one with the fair hair and the newspaper. 10 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,470 Doctor, have you had any such intimations? -I can't say that I have. 11 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,080 But at my age, the senses are not all that acute. 12 00:03:23,100 --> 00:03:25,110 And my sight leaves much to be desired. 13 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,000 Did you walk here? -Of course, I haven't got any petrol 14 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,080 and my shoes are wearing out and I can't get any more of them either. 15 00:03:31,110 --> 00:03:33,790 Right. Would you mind walking back to your surgery now please? 16 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,110 Your bloke isn't interested. I think he's after you only. 17 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,310 Aha. Number two. 18 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,590 Alain, go down to the Bourse. See if you can get some fags. 19 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,550 They've left Alain alone. How often does he come here? 20 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,550 Two or three times a week. Usually in the mornings and always carrying vegetables. 21 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,450 Then he could be the one they've accepted as genuine. 22 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,200 Do you think they're onto Lifeline, Monique? 23 00:04:51,220 --> 00:04:54,170 No. No. They would have rounded us all up before now they were. -Right. 24 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,170 No, I think they're sniffing. No more. -Even sniffing is too much. 25 00:04:58,190 --> 00:04:59,990 Why have they come here? Why us? 26 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,480 They've got to have a reason. There aren't enough men left to do it out of chance. 27 00:05:03,500 --> 00:05:04,150 Right again. 28 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,040 When do you see Albert? -Wednesday. Why? 29 00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:09,740 I think he should know. -No. Albert stays out of this. 30 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,990 I don't intend to worry him more than necessary. 31 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,430 You mean you don't want him to think you can't handle it? 32 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,110 Can you? Handle it? 33 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,080 Enough to keep it in operation. 34 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:26,220 Alright. Now, tell me about this rocket site. 35 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:31,590 Dirk Maas showed me the place, but I didn't go close. I used binoculars. 36 00:05:31,840 --> 00:05:35,870 Now, it's a large area. Concrete, I think, and there was a big shed. 37 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,190 And a little way off there was a shelter or a bunker or something. 38 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,350 It was heavily guarded. -That's a permanent site. 39 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,350 But it's not like the flying bombs. -No, much more deadly. V2 rockets. 40 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,510 And if we've found a permanent site I'm going to do something about it. 41 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,560 I shall want to use some of these flyers you've got camped out. 42 00:05:53,580 --> 00:05:54,710 They're in the Ardennes. 43 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:56,710 None up North? 44 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,710 One group. Not far from the Dutch border. 45 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,110 They'll do. -What about our tails? 46 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,110 Well, we'll have to lose them, won't we. 47 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,230 Well, Guissard? -Sit down Monsieur Foiret. I will make my report. 48 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,990 I take it you are in reasonable health still. -Yes yes yes. 49 00:06:20,280 --> 00:06:23,710 Well then, now my case. When do I get out? 50 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:28,030 Not so fast Monsieur Foiret. The mills of justice. You understand? 51 00:06:28,280 --> 00:06:32,470 Damn it, man, spare me your turn of phrase. What is happening? 52 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,710 They have no real case, Monsieur. 53 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,450 As I told you, it remains entirely circumstantial based upon 54 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,980 gossip and hearsay. Larded with envy. 55 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,200 But, there were 56 00:06:43,220 --> 00:06:46,710 German military personnel present at the time of your late wife's death. 57 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:52,750 I wish to apply to the German authorities for their military report on the incident. 58 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,150 Mademoiselle Duchamps, Monique was there and -- why don't you... 59 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:04,230 She is, alas, an interested party. Little credence would be given to her testimony. 60 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:11,710 My wife slipped, fell down the narrow stairs and broke her neck. 61 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:19,640 Monsieur Foiret. Is there any reason why you should not wish me 62 00:07:19,660 --> 00:07:23,790 to bring the matter to the attention of the German authorities 63 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,590 by asking for access to their civil files? 64 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:29,990 Consider well, my friend. 65 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,070 But I would remind you it is necessary for you to prove your innocence. 66 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,510 Unless there is grave reason to forbid it, 67 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,390 I should like your permission to seek access to the German files. 68 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,750 Good evening, Sir. What do you think you're doing now? 69 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,430 I thought I'd come in to dinner. I have to be somewhere. Why not here? 70 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,680 Because you don't pay for the food for one thing. 71 00:08:30,710 --> 00:08:33,230 For another, this table is usually reserved for German officers. 72 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,510 I don't mind if they join me. 73 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,560 I don't like them much, but their table manners are faultless. -Bradley... 74 00:08:38,580 --> 00:08:41,220 Just tell Natalie to bring me the wine list. I know what I'm doing. 75 00:08:41,340 --> 00:08:43,640 Good evening, Herr Standartenfuhrer. 76 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,550 Good evening, mademoiselle. -Good evening, Herr Standartenfuhrer. 77 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,830 I was just telling this gentleman. This table is reserved. 78 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,070 Luc De Vriendt. -Kessler. Standartenfuhrer. 79 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,510 You must forgive me. I didn't properly understand. 80 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:06,510 A seat for the Standartenfuhrer. -Yes, of course. -Thank you. 81 00:09:07,560 --> 00:09:09,590 The wine list, sir. -Please. 82 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,310 I am delighted to make your acquaintance, Herr Standartenfuhrer. 83 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,790 We know of your work here in Belgium. 84 00:09:17,810 --> 00:09:20,590 Indeed, may I know exactly who you are, please. 85 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:30,870 Oh, I see. Organization Todt. 86 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,760 I am here in Brussels for a few days on business, 87 00:09:33,780 --> 00:09:36,030 connected with our latest secret weapon. 88 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,870 Before we talk, perhaps you would like to order. 89 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,740 Mademoiselle, the Standartenfuhrer will be my guest this evening 90 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,390 and we will begin with a bottle of the Montrachet. 91 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,910 Is that to your taste, Herr Standartenfuhrer? 92 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:55,170 Montrachet would be a very considerable treat, Herr De Vriendt. Thank you. 93 00:09:55,190 --> 00:09:56,190 Thank you. 94 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,270 He's got a lot of cheek. Perhaps that's how he's survived over the years. 95 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,780 Montrachet. We've only got 4 bottles left. 96 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,760 I spent two years at the research laboratories perfecting the long range ... 97 00:10:12,780 --> 00:10:14,470 You probably know all about them. 98 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,910 Recently they were redeveloped for the high accuracy 105 millimeter flak guns. 99 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,510 They're very accurate, you know. The velocity is quite extraordinary. 100 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:27,310 However, I am here now in connection with our latest V2 rocket. 101 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:40,070 They have been only tested, Herr Standartenfuhrer, but 102 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:44,830 we are about to launch over 1000 missiles against France. 103 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,780 I was naturally aware that this was in progress. Indeed, I witnessed 104 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,390 a demonstration recently from one of our more permanent sites. 105 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,790 Which site was that? -Zandvliet not far from Antwerp. 106 00:10:54,560 --> 00:10:58,910 Zandvliet. Ah yes, I am due to inspect that site on one of its firing days, 107 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,110 but unfortunately no one saw fit to tell me when they were. 108 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,190 I shall have to apply to the Kommandantur in the morning. 109 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,430 See Oversturmbannfuhrer Stroem. He'll help you. 110 00:11:08,680 --> 00:11:11,240 Stroem, Thank you. I will see him, but 111 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,910 I'm talking too much. 112 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:18,910 Tell me of your work here. Your name is well known, Herr Standartenfuhrer. 113 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,670 You have done great things here in Belgium. 114 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:45,350 The Candide. It is the Candide. 115 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,200 It's not the cost of the meal, it's the way you walk around expecting 116 00:11:58,220 --> 00:12:01,260 everyone to follow without question. The way you take everything for granted. 117 00:12:01,380 --> 00:12:02,820 And the wine wasn't properly chilled. 118 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,350 Never mind the wine. Last night you were skating on thin ice. 119 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,090 Kessler is not a fool. You would do well not underestimate him. 120 00:12:08,110 --> 00:12:08,930 Monique. 121 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:10,390 This is between Bradley and me. 122 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,900 While you were trying to be clever with Kessler 123 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,410 he could just as easily have been playing the same game with you. 124 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:16,720 Avoid contact whenever possible. 125 00:12:17,140 --> 00:12:19,920 And how would I get the rocket site schedule if I didn't ask for it? 126 00:12:19,950 --> 00:12:20,690 What schedule? 127 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:22,450 The rocket delivery schedule. 128 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,780 If we aren't going to waste a hell of a lot of time, we need to know 129 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,330 when the maximum number of rockets are present at that site. 130 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,590 I needed to know who had that information, and Kessler told me. -Kessler? 131 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,500 He thinks I worked at the Todt site 132 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,590 at Peenemunde. Well, I did, but not for Germany. 133 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,830 Alright, so you're being very clever. -Now I need your help. 134 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,070 On the third floor of the Kommandantur 135 00:12:40,100 --> 00:12:42,670 a certain OberSturmbannfuhrer Stroem has an office. 136 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,150 He has the information I need. Who do you have in the Kommandantur? 137 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,830 Willy de Hooch. He's on the civil administration staff. 138 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,240 The Germans are packing up. Half of them went last week. 139 00:12:52,260 --> 00:12:54,630 They don't really know what's going on. He can do it today. 140 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:56,310 Right, anything else? 141 00:12:56,560 --> 00:12:59,600 You said you had a bunch of evaders in a wood somewhere Southwest of Antwerp. 142 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,480 Yes. -Can I go meet them this afternoon? -I can take Major Bradley. 143 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,800 Very well. But you'll need special moving papers. I've got some. 144 00:13:05,830 --> 00:13:08,640 They just need filling in. They've got yesterday's date on them. 145 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,190 You see. It can be relatively painless. 146 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,840 The second one's gone to a tobacconist across the square. 147 00:13:25,870 --> 00:13:27,670 We should go now while we have a chance. 148 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,670 See you later, Monique. -Alright. 149 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,710 The name's still Nick. It's quite easy to say. You should try it sometime. 150 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,710 This is Major Bradley, of the SOE. 151 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,120 This is Wing Commander Newman, he's in charge. 152 00:14:08,140 --> 00:14:10,310 This is Jerry Wade, American Air Force. -Major, 153 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,180 My name is Tony. Well, come and take a pew. Thank you. 154 00:14:13,210 --> 00:14:15,870 Wing Commander, Major Bradley's been sent over by London. 155 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,680 Tony, the most important thing I have to do 156 00:14:18,710 --> 00:14:21,470 at the moment is knock out as many V2 sites as I possibly can. 157 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,070 They're the rocket things? -Right. 158 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,590 They superseded the doodle bugs and they're making a hell of a mess. 159 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,190 If they aren't stopped, it could make a difference. 160 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:35,220 I get the picture. Right. Fire away. -Well, they're based in the low countries, 161 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:40,230 fired from mobile sites, usually, that means we can't bomb the bastards. 162 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,510 So it's a job for the blokes on the spot. Well, that's me. 163 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,310 And I want it to be us because we've found a permanent site. 164 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,390 Ah, Muller, do you have a copy of the agenda? -Yes, in the office. 165 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,910 The Sturmbannfuhrer's left the rocket site schedule. Please, he's waiting. 166 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:50,430 The Standartenfuhrer has ordered meeting for 10:30 hours. 167 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,710 I was on my way to inspect Section one. Is it important? 168 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,550 This will ruin my day. I'd better let my staff know. -Yes, Sir. 169 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,990 Yes, I could've done without it as well. I'd better inform the Major. 170 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,500 Rolf, our outing has been called off. 171 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,990 A meeting has been scheduled by the Standartenfuhrer.

Be seated gentlemen. 180 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,220 Perhaps you would care to join us, Herr Major? 181 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,440 Or is it the habit of the Luftwaffe 182 00:19:11,460 --> 00:19:13,430 to hold back in the office as it does in the air? 183 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,020 You must try and forgive us, Standartenfuhrer. 184 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,510 If you're trying to adjust to a front line desk in Brussels, 185 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:24,510 it's such a shock, after the nursery slopes of the Russian Front. 186 00:19:27,120 --> 00:19:30,180 Gentlemen. I asked you to join me here this morning 187 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,670 to give you the latest military information in my possession. 188 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:38,790 And to draw certain conclusions and to act upon those conclusions. 189 00:19:40,360 --> 00:19:42,920 Contrary to the information disseminated by our radio broadcasts, 190 00:19:42,940 --> 00:19:45,750 the Allied advance has not halted, 191 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,510 nor has it been turned back upon itself. 192 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,260 It's time that we faced up to the truth of the situation 193 00:19:51,290 --> 00:19:54,070 and reacted as military men and Germans of the Third Reich. 194 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,430 Yesterday Amiens fell to the enemy. 195 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:02,630 This morning the American forces are 30 kilometers from the Belgian border. 196 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:06,430 The British armored units are thrusting through here and here. 197 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,710 And we must assume that they will be in Brussels within one week. 198 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,390 Sir, is it not possible to make a stand? Better here than at the Rhine. 199 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,290 What are you going to fight with? 200 00:20:15,310 --> 00:20:18,580 Are you expecting your small arms issue to reply to artillery? 201 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:20,400 To stand up to tanks and aircraft? 202 00:20:20,420 --> 00:20:23,470 This is not the time to air defeatist attitudes, Herr Major. 203 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,070 They're not defeatist, they're realist. 204 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,550 If you can't accept opinions, then listen to some facts. 205 00:20:30,360 --> 00:20:33,350 There's enough ammunition in the Brussels area 206 00:20:33,370 --> 00:20:36,750 to supply the present garrison and volunteers with six rounds per man. 207 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,630 The dump at Molenbeek was destroyed three days ago. 208 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,690 The military garrison was depleted 209 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,390 to sustain the Russian front at the same time as were the security forces. 210 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,080 Here in this building we have the equivalent of 211 00:20:49,100 --> 00:20:51,870 three companies. It's not a very impressive force. 212 00:20:52,120 --> 00:20:55,010 Surely there'll be superior forces retreating to add to the complement. 213 00:20:55,030 --> 00:20:57,510 If they were superior forces they would not be retreating. 214 00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:59,190 That is quite enough. 215 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,520 Major Reinhardt, may be somewhat brutal in his approach, 216 00:21:02,540 --> 00:21:04,380 but I believe him to be realistic. 217 00:21:04,900 --> 00:21:06,250 Thank you. 218 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,710 We must assume that the Allied forces will enter Brussels almost unopposed. 219 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,320 With due respect to Hauptmann Muller 220 00:21:13,340 --> 00:21:15,060 we are not equipped to form a fighting unit. 221 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:19,430 It has nothing to do with courage or experience. It's a matter of logistics. 222 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,600 What we have to decide is our present and best course of action. 223 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,430 With respect, Sir, is that decision not for the military commandant? 224 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,430 The military commandant is no longer in Brussels. 225 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,310 The Reichskommissar has an unenviable task. 226 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:37,790 I am trying to be both realistic and constructive. 227 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,800 It's my belief that we must use our initiative 228 00:21:40,820 --> 00:21:43,590 and muster all our forces towards a delaying tactic. 229 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:48,230 is there any disagreement? -Sir, some of them are already looting. 230 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,180 What are your orders in this matter? 231 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,030 They won't get far with their clocks and rocking chairs. 232 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:57,630 Advancing armies have a very unpleasant habit of moving quicker than you expect. 233 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,960 The Herr Major is not allowing for an organized withdrawal by seasoned troops. 234 00:22:00,980 --> 00:22:02,090 You're damn right, I'm not. 235 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,270 I've retreated too many times to put much faith in last ditch miracles. 236 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:09,870 In the matter of looting. You have my authority to shoot the offenders. 237 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,910 I will not have the Reich's armies looking a disgusting rabble. 238 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:49,920 Then it's clearly understood that our sole function 239 00:22:49,940 --> 00:22:52,070 as military men will be to perform a delaying action 240 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:55,550 to force the enemy to street fighting that is time consuming. 241 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:57,940 I know it's not my field, Standartenfuhrer, but I would suggest 242 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,110 that explosive charges 243 00:23:00,360 --> 00:23:03,300 placed in the South and Southwest of the city 244 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,270 could imply that the entire city has been similarly mined. 245 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,170 Yes, I agree. Stroem. -Sir. 246 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:13,500 You will take charge of this assignment. Deploy the charges intelligently. 247 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:15,910 Use as many men as you have in the SS units. 248 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,460 And furthermore, place the real charges 249 00:23:18,490 --> 00:23:21,230 where we expect the enemy to enter the city. 250 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,480 Pretend to lay charges in as many places as possible 251 00:23:24,500 --> 00:23:26,990 in the remainder, especially in the central area. 252 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,110 Be seen doing it. There will be eyes watching. 253 00:23:30,360 --> 00:23:33,350 Those eyes will report and that report conveyed to the advancing British. 254 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,950 With any luck, anticipation will hold them up more than small arms, 255 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,040 especially if there are enough real explosions 256 00:23:39,060 --> 00:23:41,690 to give credence to the reports. Understood? -Sir. 257 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,120 Heller. You will coordinate the transference 258 00:23:46,150 --> 00:23:48,620 of files and records from this building. 259 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:50,670 They are to be accorded priority in vehicle 260 00:23:50,700 --> 00:23:52,830 transport from the city. Nothing is to be omitted. 261 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,910 The structure of the Reich is founded on thorough and accurate records. 262 00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,400 No personnel are to have priority over records. Is that quite clear? 263 00:24:00,430 --> 00:24:01,830 Yes, Herr Standartenfuhrer. 264 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:06,990 Very well. That will be all. 265 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:19,390 Major Reinhardt? You have orders from your own Luftwaffe command? 266 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:25,460 Yes, I've been ordered to have all my Luftwaffe forces reports to Area Command. 267 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:27,870 Apart from Muller, I dispatched them all, 268 00:24:27,900 --> 00:24:30,150 all three of them, the day before yesterday. 269 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:34,150 And the remainder? -There is no remainder Herr, Standartenfuhrer. 270 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,240 Last month I had 18 men under my command. 271 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,790 Six, I myself sent to Wing Headquarters. 272 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:47,270 Four have been killed by partisans. Three have gone to Maultier. Four have deserted. 273 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:52,350 I am the Luftwaffe presence in Brussels.

We were sent here to accomplish a certain task. 275 00:24:55,920 --> 00:25:01,190 The elimination of the evasion lines in Western Europe. -A task I shall complete. 276 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,310 I shall soon know who is running Lifeline. 277 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:06,790 Are you serious? 278 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,470 It's academic now, of course, but I could never resist a good puzzle. 279 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,230 It's not academic. 280 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:18,670 I want their leader. I want to see him. 281 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,150 And I want to see him dead. 282 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,670 We can't just do nothing. My train leaves in an hour and a half. 283 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,560 He is suspicious. -But that's all it is. 284 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,950 If it was anything else we'd be swinging on the end of a rope now, or worse. 285 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,590 Your chap got us these schedules.
