[ Engine Idling ] General, mission finally completed...

At least in part.

The Desert Rat Patrol. So. Hmm. My compliment, Captain.

Where are the rest of them? I think Sergeant Troy will tell me.

Sergeant,

where are your other two men?

I prefer to talk to the general.

The Desert Rat Patrol, 80 kilometers behind our lines.

I congratulate you. You are excellent soldiers.

Thank you, sir.

You have been on the move quite a bit lately, Sergeant.

Captain Dietrich sees to that, General Helmreich.

- So, you know me. - Of course I do, sir...

The most famous general in the Africa Corps, twice decorated by Hitler...

- personally. - [ Bomb Whistling ]

[ Troy ] All right! Shake it!

Achtung! Achtung! [ Speaking German ]

[ Gunfire ]

[ Engine Idling ] [ Shouting ] Moffitt, how far are they?

[ Moffitt ] Ten, maybe 11 miles.

Snap it up, or you're gonna have the African Corps here to help ya.

In a minute, Sarge. Some lead nicked my fuel line.

That was very clever, Sergeant Troy. My compliments. Save the compliments, General.

You are 50 miles behind our lines,

and every German soldier in Tunisia will be searching for me.

You have no chance of escaping. We make our own chances.

Ready.

- All right. Let's go. - Not with me, Sergeant Troy.

General, that's an order. Which I will not obey.

By the formation of the dunes I can see...

we have been heading deeper into German territory.

You plan to use me on some kind of mission. I do not intend to move.

General, as long as you're my prisoner, I make the rules.

Hmm. If you are captured, Sergeant Troy, I will make the rules.

Hitchcock, take off the General's boots and belt.

When we are captured, he can appear before his men in his bare feet...

holding up his pants like a circus clown.

Right, Sarge.

[ Engines Rev ] All right. Shake it!

Reflection of the sun.

- [ Machine Gun Fire ] - [ Grunts ]

[ Spitting ]

What's the matter, General? First day on the front?

When you are captured, Sergeant,

I will personally look after you.

We didn't lose 'em. They saw that reflection, all right.

Yeah, looks like Dietrich has us figured. We're heading for the same pass.

If they block that pass, we're stopped cold.

Sergeant Moffitt, we are both intelligent and perceptive men.

You realize that whatever your mission is,

the Allies can only momentarily succeed in North Africa.

- You'd like to think so. - What can you hope to accomplish with me, four men?

I think we should have some secrets from each other.

You know, we Germans expect to lose some battles, but not the final one.

You're talking like one of your propaganda

leaflets. I'd hoped for something better from you.

- With good reason. - [ Grunts ]

[ Machine Gun Fire In Distance ]

[ Machine Gun Fire Continues ] Radio all units to close in. Go back. Block the pass.

You've had your fun, General.

They could've heard that racket for miles. Let's shake it!

Big trouble. They just blocked the pass. Do you have another way around?

We could turn back and circle around. It'll mean losing at least a day.

The German offensive starts in 24 hours.

If we don't move fast, we'll never get a crack at stopping it.

We grabbed Helmreich for nothing. We've got to get to that ammunition dump today.

His whole offensive depends on it, so we can't circle back.

- We'll have to. - Too late for going back, Sergeant Troy.

[ Chuckles ] So, gentlemen, I think you have had it.

Where are they?

- Staying right in the pass. - How close did you get?

I rolled 'em down the other side... right underneath their noses.

- They didn't see a thing. - You sure?

- Sarge, who was there... you or me? - [ Chuckles ]

- All right. Let's go. - [ Slaps Jeep ]

[ Metal Clattering On P.A. ]

[ Clattering Continues ]

[ Clattering In Distance ]

[ Engines Starting ]

Sherman tanks. There must be nine or 10 of them. Sherman tanks.

Move out. Radio for tank support. Move out. Radio for tank support.

[ Explosion ]

[ Explosion ]

[ Quietly ] Hold your positions. Do not panic.

- You fools! - [ Explosion In Distance ]

Take it easy, General. Gonna be a long war.

[ Clattering On P.A. Stops ]

It's just around the next bend.

All right, General. You know what to do.

Never. I will not do that.

General, you don't have a thing to say about it. All right, Moffitt. Let's go.

[ Vehicles Approaching ]

[ Engines Idling ]

Your general's dying of sunstroke.

If you want him alive, you better get him under cover fast.

- You were the ones who took him. - You wanna talk? I'm here to trade.

- Trade him? For what? - We need gas and water to get back to our lines.

Your general's burning up out here in the sun.

How can I be sure he is not dead already?

You can take his temperature, Colonel. He's burning up.

- You will have to put down your guns. - Nothin' doin'.

You keep talkin', you're gonna have a dead general on your hands.

- All right. - [ Engine Revs ]

Let them in! Surround them!

The other two, stay here!

[ Continues Shouting Orders, Indistinct ]

[ German ]

[ German ] Doktor. Schnell!

I have to see my sergeant. You will stay here.

I'm going to see him. You comin' with me or not?

All right, but you take no weapons.

Go.

[ Metal Bowl Clatters ]

[ Punch Lands ] [ Groans ]

[ Engine Starts, Revs ]

[ Ticking ]

There. Herr General is not suffering from heat exhaustion.

Then what's happened to him? I think he has been knocked unconscious.

[ Moaning ]

[ Sighs ]

- Where are the other two? - Under heavy guard, Herr General.

So you got in. You are not getting out.

[ Clatter ]

- [ German ] - [ Soldier ] Herr General,

I found this man down below near the trucks.

- He was coming this way. - This man has planted explosives.

General, he could never get near there in an American uniform.

Don't tell me what this man can't do! Find where he has been.

Ja, Herr General.

Let us stop this charade, Sergeant. Your man planted a bomb. Where is it?

All right, General. Now you get us out of here.

- That's impossible, Sergeant. - That bomb is set to blow any minute.

- Then you better tell us where it is. - Nothin' doin'.

[ Ticking Continues ]

Then we will just stand here and wait... all of us.

General, this place is gonna disappear,

and I don't think your men want to get scattered across the desert.

[ Ticking ]

Moffitt, explain to the general's men.

[ German ]

That will do you no good, Sergeant.

- Tell 'em again, Moffitt. - [ Repeats German, Louder ]

[ German ]

[ German ]

[ Shouting In German ] Schwein! [ Continues Shouting ]

- [ Men Shouting ] - Move out!

[ Shouting Continues ]

[ Screams ]

[ Machine Gun Fire ]

[ Machine Gun Fire ]

[ Explosion ]

[ Explosion In Distance ]

[ Engines Idling ]

I could use some of that water. Never mind the water.

- Find out what we can trade for it. - [ Speaking Foreign Language ]

This fella is what's known as the supreme sacrifice.

I'll see you all back at the ranch.

[ Roars ]
