Dien Bien Phu (VALLEY pitcher)

Saturday, March 13, 1954, 17 HOURS

On approaches to the camp, have stretched Diène Bien Phu

Listen.

Two Breton.

One - Sgt Algerian infantry.

Another - from the Legion.

Said that the Belgian. But I know that he is a Breton.

"Mao-linen! Mao-linen!

"Mao-linen" all the time! My - very tired!

I said: "Mao-linen", the old bastard!

MARCH 13, 1954, 17 hours, HANOI

Stay in large, old bastard!

His creaking cut my ears.

Sorry, I'll check the first page.

Who is that?

Beatrice Vergne.

First Prize of the Paris Conservatoire.

Great artist!

She is touring the South-East Asia.

Just arrived from Singapore.

Will give a concert

with the Municipal Orchestra of the Bolshoi Theater.

This cultural event.

You are interested in Western music?

You are the enemy of colonialism?

You know, Mr. Simpson, our struggle for national independence

- This is not the resistance to French culture.

Just as when something our thousand-year struggle against China

had nothing against Buddhism or Taoism.

I love Victor Hugo, French philosophers.

And I like to drink red wine.

And while I spent 5 years in the French courts.

But readers do not care, Mr. Vinh.

Dien Bien Phu! Where is the rotten borough? (Eng.).

That's it.

They want to know whether to start this battle, and when.

Everybody wants to know.

You can win a lot of money. Serious bet!

Millions of Pieces of eight!

Maybe I should have made it an article about it.

And where to play?

Everywhere. On the street.

In the bistro. The bar of your hotel.

Ask your trishaw to take you in "Ong cop."

Mr Tiger, Chinese. He knows.

"Ong cop" - a serious place, as the Bank of Indochina!

You - too!

You play!

17:15

You're in what the battalion was in the beginning?

The mobile unit, temporarily seconded.

I was responsible for pies on the mountainous Black River.

Sitting up there. It was hot.

In the background of something - On the border with China.

You have no idea!

And then, when we retreated, I was stuck in this hole.

I am a master all sorts of things, to be left alone.

By the way, I think, have forgotten about me.

In the evening, I'm waiting for their friends here, that must cross the front line.

Three calls foreman.

What? What the foreman?

Foreman.

So they called in the profession, When the curtain rises.

To warn people, that the play begins.

My mom worked in the theater.

Yes, but for a long time every night throwing plums and the performance has not yet begun.

Dollars I also take!

Mr Simpson!

I'm taking and the dollar, too, Mr. Simpson!

Day-rate of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

How do you know my name?

An Englishman who has received U.S. citizenship in 1946.

Correspondent of "The San Francisco Chronicle."

Pulitzer Prize.

Hotel Metropol, number 317.

You are a famous man, Mr. Simpson.

I can also arrange for you excellent party poker.

Perhaps you are familiar at the same time, how many times I fucked last night?

I work only with their business.

You were one of my potential customers, Mr. Simpson,

I was hoping you would come.

They say you are lucky in the game.

And in love.

So, this battle?

That night - 5 to one.

Tomorrow, Sunday - only two to one.

The French are very respected by Sunday!

They rest.

The most appropriate date for the attack.

Therefore, the rates lower.

- 20 piastres - on this night. - 100 piastres - for tomorrow.

A lot of money at stake today, eh?

How much? .. Just curious.

To know what the interest in this battle.

Money - it is a good criterion.

"Keep your lips sealed as jade."

"And thought - as a fortress."

This is a good Chinese proverb to live a happy and long!

You see, Mr. Simpson,

can win Giap,

Maybe the French...

But I - that's for sure - I win a lot.

When all is over, I'll tell you how much was delivered millions.

And you tell me how many lives were lost.

It will be interesting to compare!

MARCH 13, 1954, 17:30.

IAVE Rankun, IAVE Rankun answer!

BOT! BOT, portable radio!

- Raccoon listen! - Go back to the base, Mao-linen!

"Kohler" from "Raccoon," you understand.

I must return to his Gauls. - Damn!

Come with me. I do not think that they would go that night.

That although there is a guy?

I do not know. Probably lead languages who live in the mountains around.

I ordered - I have to wait for them.

In any case, here is better than there!

Pam-na-na-monument to monument, with this place.

It is not good, a lot of expensive!

Leave me alone, you old bastard. I do not have to ask!

Better check your stupid big!

Lie down next to me!

I'll give you a taste the nectar!

10-year exposure.

Chateau Marco!

Little Jesus in velvet pants. - Not today!

From me again require an article about the Dien Bien Phu.

And I do not know what to tell.

You know that Dien Bien Phu was one of the most large markets of opium in Indochina?

I am in my time there merchandised.

It was a charming place, a little primitive.

You do not care, eh?

And you're right.

It is not because of the opium is all those boys out there polyagut?

I put the 100 piastres

from Mr. Tiger "Ong Cope"

the fact that the battle will begin tomorrow.

Tomorrow, tonight, 8 days...

Do not be so impatient!

One handsome legionnaire one of my lovers,

said: "Get the benefits of the war, baby!"

Me, which suits his mother!

He told me: "Kid!"

"Get the benefits of the war!"

"Because that's what comes afterwards, would be terrible!"

- Do you think that... - I do not think so! I know!

My opium - is not a crystal ball.

I can not tell you neither day nor hour,

but I know what happens at Dien Bien Phu!

And I know that will come later.

Thank God I'm already gone.

Whew!

Look... A little more smoke.

More, more...

And then - nothing.

Go on, try this miracle!

Come on, can still be fun!

19:50. BUILDING HEIGHT "Beatrice."

Partially captured, still not giving up.

You can go home You do not need me anymore.

And smazh oil this stuff! - Yes, Chef!

I'm not a chef, I'm your customer!

A customer - is always right!

Customer is always right! (English)

Brandy and soda, please!

Oh, no, it's not! Brandy and soda!

You must drink it, sir!

Drink the health of the Legion or exhausting!

Wow!

The great writer!

But you uncouth Loons, it does not read!

I met with Howard in 1945

in the Black Forest, on the Danube and Neckar

with the first French army.

De Lattre had saved them then, so we will not more royalist than the king himself!

What do you celebrate?

Your upcoming battle at Dien Bien Phu?

This, I organized the booze!

Because I'm alive!

Thanks to him! Come here!

Meet this Sgt Tadeusz Korzenevsky!

The first Panzer divisions.

Polish soldiers in the service of France!

And wants to get married!

Same time, I think.

This kid-Pole brought me to myself!

He probably decided that my body You can hide behind a shield as well?

And, as with you -

Puppet, as it is called his friends on the other side.

Key lieutenant - the 5 th Vietnam battalion of paratroopers

the famous "5-th Bavuan!

There were times when you were a bit of Vietnamese,

the shooting at us, motherfucker!

Now he tolerates us as allies. No more than that!

Traveled! Padres released him all his sins of youth!

Vamburger father, a Catholic high rank!

He knows the blackness of our souls!

He, too, we need.

Not only bread and combat rations man alive, is not it, Father?

Mr Zhegyu de Kervegan!

You drink too much! - Oh!

Duroc!

A former pilot of Liberty France!" and "Normandy-Neman"

knocked down twice by the fascists, time - in Kurland, the other - over Konigsberg,

Hero of the Soviet Union,

Honorary Corporal Legion!

A little crazy!

Dien Bien Phu - he was there every day flies in the exploration,

and then quietly returned here,

drink its fresh white cocktail, you scoundrel!

And now - the worst!

You see these two misunderstandings in civilian clothes?

God, save us from the senior corporal and Sergeant, I think.

I've never seen in uniform.

Operator and photographer who neither God nor master!

How I envy them sometimes, these nitwits!

Why?

Because they are living, Lord! And all of them enough!

Two innocent man any responsibility...

And whatever happens, when everything happens

they can always say St. Peter, standing at the gate:

"But we have great fun!"

And you can not say so?

I can only me but will be unhappy!

Sunday, 14 March, 10:15

"Beatrice" Do not get in touch

We are starting to attack from the north basin,

passing just above the "Beatrice"

grouping at the exit, 350 meters,

170 km / h, lay our asses, maneuver difficult.

We flew along the height of "Dominique"

"Elian" - a course to the south.

Here...

Sharp turn to the right, height of 140 meters.

It remains only to peacefully slip

with one hand, clenching his fists in happiness

rounded - and voila! - With what effect?

Machine guns on the 50 - here and there.

A little further away - Russian guns at 37. Very good, very bad.

And if the Vietnamese would take the height of the "Beatrice"?

Urgent need to fight off her! To keep at a distance of their defense.

Dien Bien Phu - this air battle!

All of our brave soldiers at the bottom -

fight only for what that we were flying safely

over their heads. Do not laugh, I'm absolutely serious!

- Good evening, Captain! - O, Morvan!

What's the matter, old man? You have a gloomy view!

You again lost his head?

Howard to meet you! Captain Morvan, third division of General Staff

cream of society, from close range by the Chief!

Look, I'm practically one in the department. All bad.

I can not get to the general.

Dien Bien?

Do not be mad, man. Tomorrow at dawn everything will fall into place.

One of heights?

"Beatrice."

- The third company was the third Algerian battalion. - What?

Legion?

Such a concentration of artillery, which never happened!

Colonel Gaucher.

And all his staff.

All were killed?

"Bavuan" rise to anxiety. I'm going back into service.

And what are you doing here? You will receive an order at the time, Lieutenant!

- Who will replace Gaucher? - Brit. Lieutenant Colonel. Tapa.

They say he's good.

- What is he doing? - I do not know.

Perhaps waiting for the dawn.

- It looks like they're all stunned. - But what does this mean?

Your commander must be there to whip up this whole elite!

Sunday, 14 March, 6:30 am.

Come on, come on, get up, you old bastard!

Mao-linen! - Come, come!

Old bastard! I think you've won!

I won? I did not sleep!

I have not eaten! All the time, "Mao-linen!

I smeared butter is great, I know nothing... I won?

By the way, the truth! Your tarantayka no more squeaks!

It's great! Praise God!

You will be rewarded!

Your 20 piastres with Mr. Tigger in "Ong Cope!

I've lost and you won...

Open the door! Open up! Mao-linen!

Mr bed! So bad to scream!

Go wake his master! Mao-linen!

Quiet!

What is it?

Have you seen the time? Are you drunk?

Sorry.

I have come to offer you a little business.

You crazy? My wife sleeps!

Listen! I have a sensation!

I would like to share it with you!

Under certain conditions.

Why me?

Can you imagine, "PT".

International Agency.

I need to get my sensation confirmed.

What can you offer?

Need to have your telegram left immediately.

In bypassing censorship.

Can? - Dien Bien Phu!

I knew it.

Much more!

You are sure of yourself!

Okay.

I'll do what I can. Okay!

Come on!

"Beatrice" is lost!

Destroyed one battalion of the Legion.

The French batteries are helpless.

Was killed by a big fish -

Colonel... Gaucher.

And all his staff.

And it seems that the command Dien Bien Phu absolutely...

taken aback! - Damn!

- Is it true? - I bet your head.

Listen.

You spit on us and on our own, as you say, a colonial war.

But be warned!

If you're lying,

If you are nonsense

I do so that you have sent! - Get your telegram!

And lend me your car.

I've got to the airfield.

Why?

The first flight to Hong Kong departs an hour later.

He will take my article

in Hong Kong and from there it will pass telex San Fantsisko.

Just in time for Morning Edition.

I do not want to go through censorship.

What are you doing here? Are you going?

No, no. I'm looking for pilots to Hong Kong.

He was on the runway.

You want to send my article?

It's not fair.

I know the pilot. This is my friend.

I introduce you, sir... Simson.

- Simpson. - Simpson.

Mr Simpson, write the truth. Only the truth.

About our war, and about us says too many lies.

Come on!

- Oh, hi! - Do me favor, please.

Give it to Hong Kong. - Done.

You jump this morning?

None. We wait.

Adieu, monsieur! - Take care of yourself as well!

Be calm.

These are the two Breton.

Faster, we still have to make five!

You tie and did not hang?

You were right, there was better than here.

Oh, shit! - It's okay.

Does it hurt? This is...

Lord God! Be merciful,

do not let our enemies to divide us!

The Lord of Israel! Save us from our troubles!

The disciples fell on their faces, and reach a huge horror.

But Jesus came near, touched them and said:

"Stand up, do not be afraid! What are you afraid?"

They looked up and saw nothing but Jesus.

One.

Corpus Christi!

Corpus Christi!

Ah! You know?

Mr Vinh - a famous man!

It's a little too humanist free views, nationalist,

Socialist and not a little Vietnamese guerrillas.

But I think he does not like us.

I love France! But this does not mean that the French!

Do not demand too much!

The commander was not ordered throw in the 5 th Battalion Bavuan.

- A counter-attack? - There's worse, man.

They agreed to the truce, proposed the Vietnamese,

to supposedly pick up the wounded from the "Beatrice".

None of this is great!

Hurry! Mao-linen!

Dismissed! Dismissed!

The plane takes off! Disperse!

Sunday, 14 March. Afternoon.

"BAVUAN" planted OVER Dien Bien Phu

Accelerate the collection!

Nominated for the north! - Counterattack in favor of whom?

Gabriel, go! Mao-linen! There's a mess! Lights out!

- Advocate, Sir? - All rise!

The direction of the north! - Mao-linen, move fast!

Rise, rise! Mao-linen! Mao-linen! Alarm!

BY ORDER OF THE LAST DEFENDERS HEIGHT Gabriel LEAVING POSITION.

What nonsense! With Gabriel's over!

All down the drain! More Battalion would, and Gabriel could defend!

I was 50 meters, when the infantry began to move away.

Who gave this stupid order?

And you? Why you were not here?

30 guys! I've lost in vain 30 good foreign players!

That's what I tell you, old man! We lost Battle of Dien Bien Phu is today!

This morning! And so we will continue fall will be swift!

Hey, keep it properly!

I'm in the company of three people:

One candidate, 2 non-commissioned officer,

which I demand immediately to give under the military tribunal

for cowardice in the face of the enemy! They need to shoot today!

I've never shot his paratroopers! We do not do it!

Because this war - not yours!

In the war of 1914 - 1918, when France was under threat,

you do not hesitate! - Enough!

With all due respect, you are wrong, my captain!

- Enough! - And de Castries is not right.

No shooting of his subordinates, we look weaker.

Giap - the one without hesitation shoots... - Enough!

I give you these three. Chase them use as cannon fodder.

You, ladies and gentlemen...

Arrange cleaning in their battalions, give rest to his people.

The next night will be long.

We believe that the next target Vietnamese is "Anne-Marie."

"There are wounded!"

Let us all in the trenches!

Rumor

That the fall of Dien Bien Phu INEVITABLE.

The French needed only one:

get out of this dirty war which they themselves had started a

with some ease more than 9 years ago.

The French know very well that they can not win.

No fools they are!

They hoped to draw. Hoping!

But the result will be total defeat!

Wash their hands and dump!

With the secret relief.

And you, Mr. Vinh?

The fall of Dien Bien Phu you have arranged?

Do not want to answer?

"You're singing?" This is the case."

"So go the same poplyashi! Lafontaine.

Mr. Lafontaine's fable "The Grasshopper and the Ant."

I learned it by heart, to obtain a diploma of education.

See, who owns second language

has the second soul, Mr. Simpson.

My old soul Tonkin will be proud of falling enemy.

My young French soul definitely a little grieve.

I - a grasshopper.

Maybe I should learn and your language Mr. Simpson.

To dance with you if you succeeds the French.

You for me are too complex Mr. Vinh.

Your friend from "Ong cop"

easier to be with his mug fake Buddha.

"Ong cop," not my friend! He - the Chinese!

When he could no longer to conduct their criminal business,

He will leave Hong Kong.

Even without looking back. You - also leave.

And the French. And I - will remain.

What else is left?

What can the ranked in the rat trap? Gnaw only imagine paw.

Fire!

Fire!

Dien Bien Phu is now very quickly fall!

Do you understand? It will not be so long as I expected.

Will have to find something else for all these people.

Maybe the American invasion?

What do you think, dear friend?

Very interesting, Mr. Tiger!

Tell me later did you

entice those fans to bet.

Good information, excellent! Let's see!

What do you put the old bastard!

20 piastres - the fact that "Anna Marie" will be finished tonight!

20 piastres - with "Dominique" finished last night!

20 piastres - with the Dien Bien Phu finished in 2 days!

20 - the "Anne-Marie! Supply 20 piastres for me!

20 piastres!

All - in their posts!

Asserting the "Anne-Marie!

Purify it from the Viet Minh!

Fire!

Fire!

But, my dear Howard! This is an old French tradition!

Napoleon III had already gave the Legion of Maximilian

Emperor of Mexico! And the beautiful Jenny!

Today generous Fourth Republic lent us... gratis

and irrevocably to His Majesty Bao give, Emperor of Annam,

His Majesty Cu Sa Wong Wong king of Laos,

and His Majesty Norodom Sihanouk, King of Cambodia.

By the way...

be in service simultaneously one emperor, two kings

and a side benefit - in the French Republic.

What is eclectic, eh?

Done! It's a boy! Boy!

He now such eggs, my captain!

Half of that here, I swear! I can not believe!

Senior Quartermaster Korzenevsky, I ask you to behave yourself!

I'll treat you!

Tuesday, 16 March, 9 am

Navarre in Hanoi. He is talking with Connie:

"The drop should be anticipated the next night."

It is Koni said at 9 o'clock.

I quote De Castries:

"The next attack could knock us!"

Colonel Pirott, responsible for the artillery,

yesterday morning, took his own life suicide.

Suicide? Why?

But it's so obvious!

Pirott Assured Destruction Vietnamese guns!

He tore out a check with grenades and lay down at her.

He was buried secretly, so as not to demoralize the troops.

But it is - between us! Do not tell anyone!

Sorry!

Whew! Hello! - Hello, sir!

Let me introduce you my personal chauffeur

Mr. Lee Wan J. Sit down, you old bastard.

Three beer, quick!

Will pay it!

What is it?

6 th Parachute Colonial

already fly to Dien Bien Phu!

My friends up there, and I'm stuck here

like a moron because of this stupid show!

Shoot a concert. General Order.

General likes music?

No! Just at Dien Bien Phu all bad, He wants to change the picture.

In Hanoi, the order prevails under my rule!

"Ong cop" is anticipated for tonight?

"Dominic?" "Elian? "Anne-Marie?

From "Anne-Marie" all over!

"Anne-Marie?

I was supposed to be with them. They could fly with me.

I'm a moron!

Now I'm going to surprise you!

Again, there are people who put on the French!

Due Bizhara!

Soothsayers say that he favors the Moon.

That he will have a mandate from Heaven.

Do you understand?

This Bizhar - it sends its people, its soldiers to their death!

And it is those few who loved him, and he loves it.

And he does it and for what? For whom?

For the sake of those whom he loves? Who hates? Who despises?

For the sake of speculators? Inept politicians?

Sake all! For me?

And for you, Mr. Simpson!

Funny situation, is not it?

Very funny! As usual they say?

Paradox? Exactly!

Paradox!

Why Francois?

This - the French from all the names, my captain.

Well, with such a mug, it is very useful, poor thing!

Francois Korzenevsky

and his mother, Mrs. Korzenevska!

Refined, baby! Elegant!

I dream, I will marry and give birth to children.

I let them cut off legs until it was too late.

I will do my best to feed them

the rest of their lives.

That they were not sailors. That they were not sailors!

De Castries yesterday ordered Bizharu print out their air defenses.

There! In the west!

Beautiful shot! Purely on-Hussar! Excellent result.

On the field were more than 400 dead,

couple of dozens of prisoners, the heavy guns.

Vietnamese from the 308-th division retreated in disarray.

Hmm, this - the whole Bizhar! I came, I saw, I conquered!

He was always lucky!

But we also had losses.

This success was immediately affected on moral forces.

The chiefs are beginning to ask themselves, not too fast, they surrendered.

All in all, something was needed Bizhar, simple battalion commander!

Why have we waited so long? - Listen.

Here is your landing zone. They will select a place depending on the defense.

Ejection - between 120 and 80 meters.

So you do not go too long in the air.

How you managed to get there?

In addition, with your wounds, then?

Wearing a flask for the Minister of War in Paris until he became a teenager,

it helps!

How did you get it?

Well, he loves me! I did him a little blowjob over the phone

it with great warmth call me fool,

and asked him to find a good reason so that he could personally intervene.

He knows that sends you...

with one-way tickets?

Final stop, everyone out!

He knows about this?

He gave me this honor, old man!

His telegram to create a stir the General Staff.

"The Cabinet of Ministers - Commander ground troops in North Vietnam"

"Urgent confidential personal point"

"Captain Victorin Zhegyu de Kervegan"

"Immediately seconded to the garrison of Dien Bien Phu ", etc. etc.

Head of hate when he is satisfied with a short circuit.

It will make you pay.

He is more optimistic than you! He believes that all I will ever see!

You surrendered to the Langle.

He wants to give you reference point "Yugett-7.

That's it.

Give my respects to Castries when you see it. I like it.

Okay, get out, until my boss said no.

I...

And God bless!

What are you doing here?

You too will become a jump? But why? Still lost!

Fog, mist! And so every morning!

Protrusions Dominik remain visible.

Where you fall, I do not know but I guarantee that not Vietnamese.

It's in your interest!

Perhaps cannon defense will be smaller. Bizhar to reassure them.

It is impossible, but it is almost as good as Fritz, the bastard!

There was a feeling that we of Konigsberg in 1945!

Take a course to the southwest, flying 1.5 hours.

- Dear Friend - Hello!

My articles for Hong Kong, as usual. Thank you, thank you!

- Howard! - I'll do anything!

Come here, I have something that'll show you!

On, baby, hold this!"

Look!

All of them - our latest stocks defectors.

And all recovering from the parachute units - are already at the top.

This is the bread for the ducks!

And it's true! Bread for the ducks!

And it's all reserves, that you have left?

Oh, no. We still have 3 battalions of parachutists in stock.

They still decided to send them to us, but for the drop.

Too late! Scary!

- But... - Stop it, stop it!

I brought you here not to criticize Command. Look!

It's all about what I ask of you.

That's what I tell you.

Soldiers prepared to die to fulfill its mission.

This had a contract.

We ourselves have chosen. This - our honor.

Only a soldier can not tolerate when it is sent to die for nothing!

Because of stupidity or because of incompetence...

or theft. We are outraged!

Purely professional response - we do not like that we are wasting.

You understand what I mean?

Look! All these guys spend wasted!

Bread for the ducks!

And they all know it!

Everything!

And while all of them - volunteers allowing them to waste the last time.

And even pushed to fly.

That's what I wanted you to see!

Write about it. It should be said!

Even if you're a complete idiot to understand it.

Tell us about it!

Howard!

Just do not break your head! There's nothing to understand!

Who are you? Buddhist, Catholic?

I - "imperatorist.

My children! Who wants to, come closer! We will offer a prayer!

Our prayer!

Give me, O Lord, the you've got left!

Give me what you do not want more!

Give me the uncertainty

Give me the experience and battle,

so I was confident they always have me there!

For it is not always, I will take courage to ask you about it!

Forgive me, Father, We loaded on board!

For you alone, O Lord! And we no one to wait on you both!

Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit! Amen!

25!

24!

23!

At least, the audience still never won a single match!

22!

21!

So far, man! (Hereinafter - in other languages)

Huh?

I spoke Tocharian!

19!

Lord!

- 17! - Here are your sons!

They have already fought so much, Father!

Have pity on these boys, that before the pass gate

You are already screaming their names!

5! 4! 3! 2! - Lord!

- One! - I beg you, help them!

Help them!

I implore you!

- Hey! Bottom shoot! - Do not worry! 2 minutes left!

Begin to get a move on!

As soon as the whistle stops, you all stop!

Whew!

I can cite my sources?

I bless you, old man!

Costed leakage, an open secret!

A sort of a way to tell the Chinese: "Achtung!"

Resonance leads to the election U.S. president

to achieve peace in Korea.

And not to rush an adventure in Indochina!

In this case - you are lonely!

Alone!

Completely alone!

I know.

We know.

Be realistic!

If we were only realistic,

we would have long since left this country!

Old genius! Old Isaac!

The sun, apple, eureka!

You still do not understand? But you go to school?

Isaac Newton! Law of universal gravitation!

The same law governs the trajectory of the minutes and the trajectory of the Earth around the Sun!

It's so nice to know! It calms!

You see, my son! To us it does not fall by accident!

It's the law!

Oh, my God, my God!

My heart is overwhelmed with sadness.

How to explain...

I've always had a strange feeling that it is - a farewell party!

I have not felt that the general is going to tell you a polite "Good-bye!"

General? Who said anything about general? France, Mr. Simpson! France!

Nation feel things are much better than we think!

I still have to prepare their belongings: camera, film, all...

He seized a bottle of cognac! They will be happy!

I almost forgot! Betty kindly bottle!

I'll sign the bill, and pay upon return.

Betty, in your shoes I would not agree. There, where he goes, you know...

Occupational hazard!

Account - is the foundation of our economy, "My dear Lieutenant!

Beautifully said! You, Betty, - a poet!

And the real owner of the bar! 75 piastres per kilogram of brandy!

And the finger did not hit! Here they are Chinese!

Yeah, okay. We save on common tariffs.

Bravo!

Well, you looked us in the club after such a triumph!

But I love you all!

I allowed myself to invite our conductor, Mr. Bong.

I do not think that it is common with the French soldiers.

That's all - soldafony, but they - my friends. And, Howard!

- Excellent! - Thank you!

Mr Simpson.

- Bravo! - You do not kiss?

What are you doing with this bottle? At your age, then?

He desantiruyut tomorrow! Wants to be good there was.

I found a place. It was not so simple.

You were wonderful! You too!

I'll tell the captain de Kerveganu.

Again!

There are those who planted tomorrow?

Excuse me, sir.

My Captain! I treat all the bistro to gather people from the Airborne.

- What is it? - Red Alert.

I have to go check. If airborne will be jumping, I dock them.

It is not yet officially but this is due to Dien Bien Phu.

Here, you would like to arrange a holiday, but. I need to run. Goodbye!

I was happy that...

Do not run so fast!

Man!

Good luck!

Did you forget your bottle.

This is my slut, always in my hands.

She even has its own "condom", a stinker.

And if you need to be open it on the go, a joker?

At the height where they would drop us, you will not have time to open it, a joker!

Okay! The countdown is over. All out! We will not land!

Landing at Dien Bien Phu is canceled!

- They'll others? - No, canceled until further orders.

Hey, in the way! Come on, Mao-linen!

You see, my son!

Death - a triumph of gravity!

Olden, Joseph-Mumu!

The same law of gravity, Isaac Newton's law of antiquity!

What are you doing here? Arise!

Arise, I say, pull yourself together! Go on, take the number of their prisoners!

Shake the hell! Shake it!

TWO repulsed HEIGHTS - "Eliana" AND "DIMINIK-2" - Leaving

Colonel Langle yelling about treason. He was not dropped paratroopers.

He had to leave in two heights, who rescued Bizhar.

The massive landing in the middle of the day - it will slaughter!

Too late. It should have been done last week.

And that, to abandon the idea of reinforcement entrenched troops?

No, parachuted in the night!

Aircraft in line with an interval of 2 minutes, skydivers group by group.

Directly to the main position.

The entire battalion landed half an hour.

Half of the men hang on barbed wire," hits the mines or fall in Vietnamese.

Stop it! You seem unable to make a clear choice!

Or do you think that Dien Bien Phu was lost,

and if you leave them to die. Alone.

Or you choose to stay. Then send them a support ship.

But... you just "sad sack".

You will lose all your loved ones!

And lose the battle!

APRIL 2.

So, this - wear immediately.

Doctor! .. Doctor!

- What? - Go on, take a look!

No, it's in the stomach!

I can not!

The operation to less than 2 hours! And 1 in 10 chance that he will muddle through.

I can not! Damn, I told you so!

But it's Pierrot, a guy from the 6 th company Bizhara! I know him! Its lowered with Elian!

Impossible! I'm tired of you! What can I do? Look!

Okay, stick to it a label and carry them to the operating room.

You took out my old man! Enough is enough!

My father, forgive me! There, Lieutenant of the Legion.

He will not survive long. Asks you to. - Ida.

- Who is she? - Genevieve.

What are you doing here? Give us work.

You get out.

Now pour, oh, pour!

He must be asleep! He has to sleep. Everything will be fine.

Softly, softly, gently!

Well, right, kid?

Quietly!

Give your binoculars!

The total fee! Get on the ball! Mao-linen!

All those white dots

- It's parachutes.

Come to mind conquistadors

burn one's boats on unfamiliar rivers,

that there was no temptation to return and try their luck.

For me...

all these white dots - it's burning ships.

It turns out we are in the platoon left 12.

The other two were about to flee, and, perhaps, already gone.

Okay, we will not run after them.

You make me not kinesh? - No, SEP.

Let's, go ahead, dammit! My lieutenant, we are getting close!

Let's hurry! Hurry!

- He's dead! - Huh?

- He's dead! - Dead? No, he's not dead!

- Yes, he's dead! - No, he's not dead, he is not dead!

This is my lieutenant, my father! He is not dead, he's not dead!

Pull him up! Get out! This is all full of other wounded!

Many people bewildered, abandoned...

taken refuge in the wells off the coast of Nam-Yong.

- Divide the food. - Come here and eat.

April 10. We recaptured Height Elián."

The Vietnamese have already nibbling "Yugett-1.

Last night we dropped the platoon 2 nd Parachute Battalion.

Head still let himself be persuaded?

I threw their groups total of 10 people.

Whether more of them, they would fall the Vietnamese. In a meat grinder.

Bizhar sent us his report.

Terrific! He remained at about 2,000 soldiers on the front line

paratroopers and legionnaires.

With artillery, engineers, and three tanks that are still on the go

He believes that at Dien Bien Phu fighting is less than 4 thousand people.

The rest - the wounded.

Or hiding. Deserters.

Sitting in the pits on the banks of a river.

He calls them "rats Nam-yun."

Giap De Castries keeps the throat! It's logical!

I watch the picture!

De Castries can still breathe thanks to a landing!

I look forward to when he was nearly suffocated. I'm waiting.

This Asian patience! I am waiting, sir!

And the blow straight to the heart! One stroke.

Should not divide skin killed bear!

Bizhar repulsed 'Eliane 1'!

The bear is not dead!

Many have lost money today in their bet!

Why do we kill a bear

if the first did not share his skin?

This Chinese proverb I do not know.

This adage of one of my Jewish friends from Brooklyn.

April 12. "YUGETT-6" surrounded, BUT STILL KEEP

13 APRIL

MILITARY CAMP In the Red River Delta

On the two commanders of tanks - two hands and two drivers.

Volunteers immediately crossing in Hanoi.

Training will not. You will drop through the hatch without further ado.

I beg you.

I'd add. It's not in my instructions

but I must say it.

The situation at Dien Bien Phu - hopeless.

Do not harbor any illusions.

Volunteers step forward!

Brigade commander Henri de la Monier, driver.

Sgt Tadeusz Korzenevsky, tank commander.

And what, you too will go up?

'll Jump with a parachute?

At your age it's stupid!

By anyone, it's too late!

Late? Why?

For a priest is never too late.

To sacrifice their lives - it is a huge sacrifice.

There is only one, which is even scarier.

Donate honor!

Hey!

Is anybody there?

Hey, Is anybody there?

Is anybody there?

Hey, here! Come on, get out of there!

How does it stink, death!

Thaddeus! But what are you doing here?

I fell straight to the dead!

Gle is the first battalion Foreign Legion?

Here we can not stay, We zasekut.

Hey, you went too! Here we can not stay!

Come on, let's go!

There is no longer much to look at.

Brandy - aniseed liqueur. No, aniseed liquor - brandy.

A third of liquor, two thirds - of brandy.

Cognac.

Aniseed liqueur.

Legionnaire Komorowski, 2-nd foreign battalion, the 3rd battalion.

Comrade!

Life - a wreath knife blows that we must be able to taste a drop.

And we in Poland have a saying:

life - like an onion.

The more you remove the rind, the more it stinks.

A peel finish,

eyes filled with tears!

Cognac!

Rats crawl out at night in search of food in the discarded containers.

French. Rain. Rat.

Rain is good for the Viet Minh. Very good.

Among rats, the French do not! Come on.

Take it to the hospital. He looks unimportant.

APRIL 18

Easter Sunday

Vic, we have nothing for you can not.

You're left alone. Have the right to stop fighting.

Entitled. Can you hold on a little more, but it is meaningless.

You can also go for a breakthrough but we have no means of support you.

Reception, Vic! - It's Vic.

I will try to break through. Reject.

Come on.

Good-bye, boys.

Break the radio!

Do not shoot until he reaches his goal!

If a fire during the attack, We slowed down and not shoot accurately!

And the risk to get into their own!

But she reach the goal, we have to change the clip.

This is a very long time - change the clip at a time!

To battle!

CAPTAIN PRODUCE Flak Improvised

Good luck!

"YUGETT-1. Distracting FIRE IN AID burst open with "YUGETT-6"

Do not shoot! Everything! Just about everything!

You're here too?

There are well!

Here we are in the woods.

In reliability.

Where you hurt?

Me - to "Yugette.

It was scary.

Viet Minh troops had suffered such losses, that Giap asked to send in Dien Bien Phu

more than 25,000 new recruits.

He also summoned to the aid of their 176 th Regiment

and the last reserves took a 304-th division.

From our side -

We have strengthened the garrison skinny parachute battalion

thrown down in small portions

in place now for us, holy, as rightly said de Castro.

A sanitary situation...

it is simply unimaginable!

The medical director of the camp reported deaths

from the shock,

from pooping,

not from his wounds.

For no reason!

Monsieur, monsieur.

- Yes, my child! - I do not believe in God!

I do not believe your stories! Do not believe it!

Then let me do my job.

Monsieur, monsieur!

Yeah, baby!

I need you to say something, monsieur!

- Come on, tell me! - I shall die here, sir!

No, not really.

Hard it is, sir!

- Hey, listen, stop calling me Monsieur! - Yes, sir!

Yes, my father.

I am sick.

No, not really.

I do not like them.

I need to someone to share.

I - rat. And I'll die like a rat.

I - rat. Rat Nam-Yong.

I'm dying and I - a rat.

I'm not like you, guys! Not like you! I - a rat!

Well, okay. Calm down, baby!

I had to say it.

I had to say. I do not want to die without telling about it.

My poor baby!

De Lattre and his son Bernard.

The last picture where they're together.

As if they both know it. Reminiscent of stained glass in the church.

"Bernard did not die for France. He died in Vietnam."

It said his father, Marshal of France.

And it's true.

"This unselfish actions as this present war,"

"France has not been seen since Godparents hikes."

It also said De Lattre.

Ha! This damn country to be loved!

Is this punishment stern Lord?

Then, among the cries of rumors, guns

He heard a voice replied: "No!"

It's not mine! This is Victor Hugo.

Shao-lan, Mr Vinh!

We were immediately separated from the Vietnamese comrades in arms.

Is this punishment, stern Lord?

This - will die. And this.

This.

This... this... this...

Almost three-quarters of these people die.

Nearly 7700 people have will not return ever.

This movie was filmed almost 40 years later after the battle of Dien Bien Phu

in Vietnam. In Tonkin, as we once talked about.

Together with the Vietnamese and the Vietnamese army.

It was an exciting experience both for them and for us.

Will close a painful page our history.

It makes sense only if that we have again established contacts

so as Vietnam, which we love. I like...
