Longest Day The

en
00:04:12 At every beach, on every dune...
00:04:15 ...on every rock.
00:06:39 I repeat:
00:07:34 I've ordered alerts again and again.
00:07:42 Tell me this:
00:08:13 -Anything else?
00:08:33 Good morning, Field Marshal.
00:08:35 -Any news?
00:10:11 Snap it up. Jerk the lead.
00:10:14 Snap it up.
00:10:16 Jerk the lead.
00:10:18 Snap it up.
00:10:20 Jerk the lead.
00:10:21 You expect us to eat this slop again?
00:10:23 I don't care what you do with it, mac.
00:10:25 Eat it, throw it out.
00:10:27 I get paid for cooking it.
00:10:29 Come on. Put it on.
00:10:33 Snap it up.
00:10:34 Jerk the lead.
00:10:36 Didn't you get any sleep?
00:10:38 Are you kidding? I haven't slept
00:10:43 I got the absolute lowdown.
00:10:46 It's on for tonight. For sure.
00:10:48 Yeah.
00:10:50 I got in this crap game
00:10:53 -He's an orderly for some general.
00:11:01 Hey, Hutchy!
00:11:03 Hutchy, I want to ask you something.
00:11:05 Hey, Hutchinson...
00:11:07 ...do you think they'd let me write
00:11:11 Not likely, mate. Security.
00:11:14 I don't think old Churchill trusts us.
00:11:16 It's the wife, you see.
00:11:19 Your first, is it?
00:11:20 Oh, it's not mine, but I'm dead
00:11:24 She's not too strong, you see.
00:11:50 Man, that stink.
00:11:54 Diesel oil, backed-up toilets, vomit.
00:11:58 And there ain't no place left
00:12:01 The puke bags is full.
00:12:03 The fire buckets is full.
00:12:07 All we got left is our helmets.
00:12:12 June.
00:12:16 Every June my old man
00:12:22 ...up in the Blue Mountains.
00:12:26 We'd hunt and fish all day long.
00:12:30 And at night...
00:12:33 ...we'd sleep out under the stars.
00:12:38 Didn't even need a blanket.
00:12:45 June.
00:12:51 Wind and rain. Wind and rain.
00:12:54 Don't it ever stop?
00:12:55 Look, Dad, all I want
00:12:58 Wind or no wind. Even if we land
00:13:03 -Come to think of it...
00:13:05 All of us.
00:13:20 All troops will participate
00:13:24 In this weather, sir?
00:13:27 Of course, Harding, if you can ensure
00:13:31 -...in sunshine and dry weather.
00:13:34 -What did you mean?
00:13:36 It's the waiting.
00:13:39 I don't think I have to remind you...
00:13:42 ...that this war has been going on
00:13:45 Half of Europe has been
00:13:48 We're comparative newcomers.
00:13:50 England's gone through a blitz with
00:13:54 I am quite sure that they too
00:13:59 Do I make myself clear?
00:14:01 Yes, sir. Quite clear.
00:14:03 Three million men penned up
00:14:06 All over England,
00:14:10 We're on the threshold
00:14:14 Three million men out there...
00:14:17 ...keyed up, and waiting for
00:14:24 They aren't exactly alone.
00:14:27 Notify the men. Full packs
00:14:30 Yes, sir.
00:14:38 This allows you more freedom.
00:14:39 Quicker to get rid of
00:14:43 -Well?
00:14:46 Tonight, as scheduled.
00:14:48 -If the weather isn't worse.
00:14:51 Ike has called a high-level
00:14:54 I am not Eisenhower. I am
00:14:58 I don't know from nothing,
00:15:07 Frank, turn that thing off.
00:15:08 Four thousand ships loaded for bear.
00:15:11 Troops ready to go.
00:15:13 Eleven thousand planes on the line.
00:15:15 Eighteen thousand paratroopers.
00:15:18 Norm, relax.
00:15:22 RAF says the gale can stop
00:15:25 So they told us yesterday
00:15:27 Look, Norm.
00:15:30 We're all of us just as...
00:15:32 ...dedicated to this thing as you are,
00:15:36 And that includes Ike.
00:15:38 Now if he calls it off again,
00:15:41 Of course he does. I know that.
00:15:44 I'm just thinking about those
00:15:48 ...out there on those ships.
00:15:51 Some of those men have been
00:15:55 I say go.
00:15:57 Go. Weather or no weather.
00:16:02 No!
00:16:04 A hundred on the bone! Let's go.
00:16:06 -Hey, give me $50. I'm busted.
00:16:19 Hey, lend me $50?
00:16:26 -Lend me 20 bucks?
00:16:34 Lend me $ 10?
00:16:42 -Fifty on a bet.
00:16:44 One, two, three, four, five.
00:16:46 Fifty!
00:16:50 Let me hear it, let me hear it.
00:16:52 -Five and two, four and three.
00:16:55 Seven points in a row. It ain't
00:16:59 -There's a hundred out there.
00:17:04 Anything open?
00:17:06 -Forty more.
00:17:08 You got a bet.
00:17:10 -Okay, you mother-loving...
00:17:14 Here you are. Use this.
00:17:16 -You don't think I'd...
00:17:19 I just like to hear the sound
00:17:24 That's it. Shake it.
00:17:27 Okay. Let me see what you do
00:17:30 -What is it?
00:17:33 -Seven!
00:17:34 Who put this cup in the game?
00:17:37 -Next shooter. Who's coming up?
00:17:39 He's shooting a hundred.
00:17:42 -Watch your side bets.
00:17:46 You got a letter for me.
00:17:50 Yeah, that's it.
00:17:52 Thanks, buddy.
00:18:02 -How much did you take him for?
00:18:07 -$2500?
00:18:09 Oh, man, $2500?
00:18:12 It's too bad you had to win it now.
00:18:15 What do you mean, now?
00:18:16 Suppose we take off tonight.
00:18:20 Five I take with me to Paris
00:18:25 A thou I leave here for seed
00:18:27 And the rest I send to my mother.
00:18:51 Oh, man, $2500. And in Paris.
00:18:54 You always was lucky.
00:18:56 Hey, remember that night
00:19:01 I remember it.
00:19:02 You know, I think I sneak over there
00:19:07 Why not? What's to lose?
00:19:12 Damn it.
00:19:15 Why did he have to mention Fort Bragg?
00:19:20 I was lucky, all right,
00:19:26 Next day I break my leg in a jump.
00:19:29 And two months in traction.
00:19:42 $2500.
00:19:48 That's more money I ever had
00:19:55 I know.
00:19:58 Man, I just know.
00:20:12 I wonder how long it takes
00:20:28 Pint of sludge, Ted.
00:20:38 Oh, hello, Dave.
00:20:40 Yes.
00:20:42 Well, where is he?
00:20:46 Come on, Dave.
00:20:48 I need my boots.
00:20:52 Where is he?
00:20:54 At the bottom...
00:20:55 ...of the Channel.
00:21:06 You mean...
00:21:09 ...he's bought it?
00:21:10 Ack-ack over Calais.
00:21:12 He jumped clean,
00:21:25 That leaves just you
00:21:28 I mean, of the old 1940 mob.
00:21:32 What's always worried me
00:21:34 ...is the way we keep on
00:21:39 Yeah.
00:21:40 Poor old Johnny.
00:21:43 Bad luck, it happening now.
00:21:45 -Now, then. What's the difference?
00:21:51 And now if the big show
00:21:54 ...he won't be in it.
00:21:56 Look, will you please
00:21:59 All right, all right.
00:22:01 You heard something about tonight?
00:22:04 No, no. I haven't heard anything.
00:22:06 -What are you talking about then?
00:22:10 -Go on, go on.
00:22:13 -That's all.
00:22:16 Take your feeling somewhere else.
00:22:19 I've got a letter to write.
00:22:21 I've had this feeling since I woke up.
00:22:24 I've had it with me all day long.
00:22:27 I can't shake it off.
00:22:29 It's tonight. I know it is.
00:22:32 All right, it's tonight.
00:22:34 Suits me fine.
00:22:36 Tonight. This afternoon. Now!
00:22:40 I mean...
00:22:43 ...as soon as I finish this beer.
00:22:59 -General, can you spare me a minute?
00:23:02 -Thank you.
00:23:04 -No, thanks.
00:23:17 Is it still raining?
00:23:18 On and off, off and on.
00:23:20 Sometimes I wonder
00:23:22 What?
00:23:24 I say, sometimes I wonder
00:23:28 Good question.
00:23:30 What's on your mind, Van?
00:23:32 I'm concerned about the placement
00:23:35 Go on.
00:23:37 I know this is a hell of a late date
00:23:40 ...but you've given me
00:23:43 -It gets tougher every time I try.
00:23:46 Sainte-Mère-Eglise straddles
00:23:50 ...to drive into our northern flank.
00:23:54 And it has to be held.
00:23:57 That's why I gave you the job, Van.
00:24:03 -Can I use your board?
00:24:09 Here's the town. Heavily fortified.
00:24:13 Down here is the swamp area
00:24:16 And in between, four miles
00:24:20 Now if anything goes wrong
00:24:23 ...we land in this flooded area
00:24:26 If we overshoot, we come down
00:24:29 ...smack dab in the center
00:24:32 That's why I gave the men training
00:24:37 So I've heard.
00:24:40 Got a complaint from
00:24:44 Some of your men overshot
00:24:49 -Tied up traffic for an hour.
00:24:52 Sudden crosswind hit us,
00:24:55 ...scattered us all over the place.
00:24:59 -Where did you end up?
00:25:05 Relax, Van. Sit down.
00:25:08 The last few months have been
00:25:12 I hear you've been working yourself
00:25:16 Almost without a stop.
00:25:19 Now that we're almost
00:25:22 ...why don't you try easing up
00:25:26 Sometimes a battalion can be
00:25:29 Sometimes a commander can too.
00:25:34 Well...
00:25:37 ...if there's any further delay...
00:25:40 ...I request permission to submit
00:25:44 All right. Put it in writing.
00:25:47 Make it official.
00:25:50 But Ike has called a final meeting
00:25:55 If it's on, we'll get
00:25:57 -What are the chances?
00:26:01 Forget everything I said. I got
00:26:05 ...and they're ready.
00:26:21 Here it is. The latest report.
00:26:41 -It's Southwick House, sir.
00:26:44 Yes, sir. The new front's moving in
00:26:48 Yes, sir, it's definitely improving.
00:26:52 I'll be there, sir. 9:30.
00:27:01 -Would you like some more tea, sir?
00:27:04 Please.
00:27:27 What's that you're saying?
00:28:16 But you know I can't get there
00:28:56 I wouldn't be surprised if...
00:29:00 -When's the next weather report?
00:29:10 Yes, I did, General.
00:29:37 Please wish her a happy birthday.
00:29:40 Thank you, Speidel.
00:31:18 In Normandy.
00:31:29 Trying to pick a trend is difficult.
00:31:32 From a meteorological standpoint,
00:31:37 And Normandy?
00:31:38 High winds, clouds,
00:31:42 However, I can say with a certain
00:31:46 ...that we can expect a brief period
00:31:50 Let me summarize, then.
00:31:52 What you're promising us is a barely
00:31:57 Am I right?
00:31:58 Yes.
00:31:59 Conditions that are far below
00:32:03 That's all I can promise.
00:32:06 You've done your best, Stagg.
00:32:14 Well...
00:32:15 ...there it is.
00:32:17 We've postponed the attack
00:32:21 Now, either we go on the 6th,
00:32:25 ...or postpone again...
00:32:28 ...in the hope of getting
00:32:30 What do you think, Monty?
00:32:32 I say, go. Go.
00:32:34 I must remind everybody...
00:32:37 ...that the American convoy
00:32:41 ...they've farthest to go...
00:32:43 ...must be given the order
00:32:46 ...if the assault is to take place
00:32:52 We can't keep almost a quarter
00:32:56 ...in embarkation areas, indefinitely.
00:33:00 The longer we wait, the more
00:33:03 The next time...
00:33:05 ...the tides and the moon
00:33:11 Not before July.
00:33:16 Gentlemen...
00:33:19 ...such a postponement...
00:33:22 ...is too bitter to contemplate.
00:33:46 Never.
00:33:52 I'm quite positive
00:33:57 I don't like it...
00:33:59 ...but there it is.
00:34:01 Gentlemen...
00:34:03 ...I don't see how we can possibly
00:34:23 Wilson speaking.
00:34:25 Yes, sir.
00:34:30 It's on, sir. Ike's made the
00:34:48 Colonel Tomson speaking.
00:34:54 Thank you.
00:35:00 Next stop...
00:35:01 ...Normandy.
00:35:04 God help us now.
00:35:23 Gentlemen...
00:35:25 ...the day we've been
00:35:28 Invasion! We're on our way.
00:35:36 General.
00:35:39 The orders have been given.
00:35:44 Have the battalion commanders
00:35:58 All right, Sergeant.
00:36:01 You men are the eyes
00:36:05 You, the pathfinders, will have
00:36:10 To light the drop zones
00:36:13 Along with the British and Canadians
00:36:17 ...to land in France.
00:36:20 When you get to Normandy...
00:36:22 ...you'll only have one friend:
00:36:25 God.
00:36:29 And this.
00:36:33 This...
00:36:36 ...is Rupert.
00:36:39 Now, we are going to drop Rupert...
00:36:41 ...and a lot more like him...
00:36:43 ...behind the invasion area.
00:36:47 He's...
00:36:49 ...a very extraordinary
00:36:53 He's sort of a...
00:36:55 ...one-man army, all by himself.
00:36:58 Let me show you.
00:37:01 Let me show you what happens
00:37:03 ...hits the ground.
00:37:05 Sergeant, switch off
00:37:15 All right, Sergeant, that's all.
00:37:17 All right, come on. Simmer down.
00:37:19 Come on, up.
00:37:25 It's possible that Rupert and his men
00:37:30 Confuse them, make them look
00:37:33 ...and launch an attack
00:37:45 Ten-hut!
00:37:47 -The crickets have been distributed.
00:37:52 At ease!
00:37:56 You're as ready as we can make you.
00:38:00 This five-cent toy...
00:38:02 ...wasn't issued to you for laughs.
00:38:05 It may save your life.
00:38:07 You're gonna be landing in the dark.
00:38:10 On the other side of that hedgerow...
00:38:13 ...the fellow may not be wearing
00:38:18 ...one click...
00:38:19 ...is to be answered by two clicks.
00:38:24 And if you don't
00:38:27 ...hit the dirt and open fire.
00:38:29 I repeat:
00:38:31 One click...
00:38:32 ...must be answered by two clicks.
00:38:35 Now, hang on to this gimmick.
00:38:40 Do you read me?
00:38:41 Loud and clear, sir.
00:38:43 All right. One more thing.
00:38:46 Your assignment tonight is strategic.
00:38:49 You can't give the enemy a break.
00:38:52 Send them to hell.
00:38:59 That is all.
00:39:29 I repeat:
00:39:31 "John has a long mustache."
00:39:52 No, not yet...
00:39:54 Oh, my Lord!
00:40:17 "John has a long mustache."
00:40:49 Make any sense to you, mac?
00:40:51 As I said last night, they're code
00:40:55 Obviously, one message means
00:40:58 ...and another means something
00:41:01 "There is a fire at the travel agency."
00:41:07 I repeat:
00:41:20 I repeat:
00:41:21 "Wounds my heart with a
00:41:49 We'll be back.
00:41:59 "Wounds my heart with a
00:42:03 I repeat:
00:42:05 "Wounds my heart with a
00:42:11 "There is a fire at the travel agency."
00:42:25 The best hand I've had all night.
00:42:27 Let me see here...
00:42:34 Pardon me.
00:42:39 Wait. Give that to me.
00:42:42 What's come?
00:42:46 The second verse.
00:42:52 "Wounds my heart with a
00:43:06 Thank you.
00:43:50 It's almost impossible to believe.
00:43:53 Every dot represents a ship.
00:43:56 You got battlewagons, cruisers,
00:44:00 You got assault craft of every size
00:44:05 The biggest armada
00:44:12 Here.
00:44:16 You remember it.
00:44:19 Remember every bit of it.
00:44:21 We're on the eve of a day...
00:44:23 ...that people will talk about
00:44:38 You wanna know something?
00:44:40 It gives me goose pimples
00:44:54 You could call it one of them...
00:44:56 ...crazy, quickie wartime marriages,
00:44:59 Met at a dance at the USO
00:45:02 ...but, I mean, I took it serious.
00:45:05 And so did she.
00:45:08 -When did you get the letter?
00:45:11 Two weeks.
00:45:13 Maybe I was wrong, what I wrote her.
00:45:18 I mean, she's a high-class model
00:45:23 I'm not the kind of guy
00:45:26 I mean, it wasn't no joke to me.
00:45:33 But oh, man, we really had some
00:45:39 And you think she's got a boyfriend?
00:45:43 Well, she never actually said so...
00:45:47 I mean...
00:45:50 You think I was right?
00:45:55 She can't get one
00:45:57 You gotta give your okay.
00:45:59 I know it's the law.
00:46:01 They passed it for all the Dear Johns.
00:46:10 Well, I guess I better be
00:46:17 Good luck.
00:46:20 You too.
00:46:32 Who was that guy?
00:46:37 I don't know, Sparrow.
00:46:40 I never saw him before in my life.
00:47:13 Thank you.
00:47:48 What's that?
00:47:50 Dummkopf, that's the "V for
00:47:56 Ain't you never heard
00:48:35 Release point coming up, Major Howard.
00:48:38 Right, prepare for landing.
00:48:40 Cutting loose now.
00:48:42 Roger and out.
00:49:09 Major Howard, I cannot overestimate
00:49:12 The Orne River Bridge must be captured
00:49:17 It's a vital military artery, and the
00:49:22 It must be taken by surprise
00:49:26 Your gliders will land at night,
00:49:30 You will assault the garrison,
00:49:33 ...and hold until relieved.
00:49:36 Hold until relieved.
00:49:38 Major Howard!
00:49:39 There's the bridge coming up.
00:49:42 Just on our left.
00:49:53 Right, link your arms.
00:49:56 Brace yourselves.
00:50:19 Feet up!
00:50:22 Hang on!
00:51:26 Smoke screen. Smoke.
00:51:31 Up the action, bucks!
00:51:43 Right, Tom.
00:52:10 Check for demolition charges!
00:52:48 Hello! Hello!
00:53:11 Clear.
00:53:27 It's working!
00:53:35 Where's the doc?
00:53:36 On the third glider.
00:53:39 Walsh.
00:53:40 Sir?
00:53:41 Tom, Ruskin and Royal have had it.
00:53:44 On the other end of the bridge.
00:53:46 -What happened to you?
00:53:48 -Isn't the doc with you?
00:53:51 We crashed in the river.
00:53:55 I'm all right, sir.
00:53:57 -Okay, carry on.
00:54:22 Well, I'll be...
00:54:24 Hey, doc! Doc!
00:54:27 What are you doing there?
00:54:29 Sir, anybody can make a mistake.
00:54:42 Sir?
00:54:44 The demolition charges have
00:54:47 Good. Corporal Smith.
00:54:50 Send out the success code words.
00:54:55 -John, set up HQ in that pillbox.
00:55:03 All in less than 15 minutes.
00:55:09 Only a matter of time before
00:55:11 -What about the paratroopers?
00:55:16 And Lovat and his commandos...
00:55:18 It could be midday
00:55:22 The question is,
00:55:25 Hold until relieved.
00:55:28 Hold until relieved.
00:55:40 It's raining again.
00:55:42 Thank you.
00:56:06 Yes, I know.
00:56:15 Any of it.
00:57:00 We're 11 minutes from the green light.
00:57:03 Now, once more, I repeat:
00:57:06 If, for any reason, we fail
00:57:10 ...move north by east.
00:57:12 North by east.
00:57:14 The Germans have flooded large
00:57:17 Avoid them if possible.
00:57:20 We came here to fight, not to swim.
00:57:23 Do you read me?
00:57:24 Loud and clear, sir.
00:57:47 How'd you make out?
00:57:49 How did you make out at the game?
00:57:53 I lost.
00:57:57 Now we're both jumping clean.
00:58:22 I see. Oh, well.
00:58:24 Just a moment.
00:58:27 The radar report.
00:58:44 And the...
00:58:47 Call the OB West? Very well.
00:59:25 Bye, Rupert.
00:59:26 Do your duty for God, king,
01:01:53 -Are we late?
01:03:06 What is it?
01:03:35 Stop!
01:03:37 We said, stop!
01:03:38 Stop, or I'll shoot!
01:03:54 -It's abandoned.
01:03:58 Hurry up!
01:04:04 Come with me.
01:04:06 Go on!
01:04:45 Put your bicycle there.
01:04:48 Hans!
01:04:50 Hans, where are you?
01:04:53 -What's going on here?
01:05:08 Stop!
01:05:10 Stop!
01:05:23 Stop!
01:05:29 Stop!
01:05:30 Stop!
01:06:23 Anything important?
01:07:18 Put it over there.
01:08:00 Rubber dummies!
01:08:29 I must get in touch with OB West.
01:09:23 They're enemy paratroopers!
01:09:39 Blimey, mate...
01:09:41 ...you'll wake up the whole blooming
01:10:20 Fellas!
01:10:21 I'm hung up!
01:10:23 Fellas!
01:10:36 -Are you all right?
01:12:16 Awfully sorry, old man.
01:12:18 Simply landed here by accident.
01:12:26 What's that?
01:12:28 Sorry I startled you.
01:12:32 Your what?
01:12:33 My communion set. I've lost it.
01:12:35 Now listen, padre.
01:12:44 I'm sure that it was here
01:13:05 We're under fire, padre.
01:13:09 You go on, my boy. Go on.
01:13:14 Cor! Stuff a grouse.
01:13:21 I've got it! I've got it!
01:13:23 Glory be.
01:13:25 Now, my son, let's go
01:13:40 Pluskat.
01:14:00 Oh, yes, I can hear it.
01:14:04 Well, wait a minute.
01:14:06 Yes, just a moment.
01:14:25 Yes, Cherbourg is getting hit again.
01:14:40 Thank you, sir.
01:14:59 Higher! Higher!
01:15:17 -Is it important?
01:15:30 What's wrong, madam?
01:15:38 -A parachutist?
01:15:42 -British or German?
01:15:50 -Without a word?
01:16:00 Bonjour, madame...
01:16:02 ...je suis amêricain.
01:16:05 Bonjour, mademoiselle...
01:16:07 ...je suis amêricain.
01:16:11 We seem to be circling.
01:16:13 Maybe they're having difficulty
01:16:17 Je suis...
01:16:19 ...amêricain.
01:16:20 Je suis amêricain.
01:16:24 Voulez-vous...
01:16:26 ...mademoiselle?
01:16:28 Okay.
01:16:31 Go!
01:16:33 Go!
01:17:06 Paratroopers!
01:20:54 -Would you like coffee?
01:21:37 For God's sakes, padre,
01:21:40 I'm sorry, son. I'm afraid I'm lost.
01:21:43 Well, who ain't? Now, come on.
01:22:37 Two clicks.
01:22:38 I heard two clicks.
01:24:17 Man...
01:24:18 ...am I glad to see you.
01:24:21 -You guys the 82nd?
01:24:24 101?
01:24:26 Where's the 82nd?
01:24:27 Look, bud, we don't even know
01:24:31 Well, somebody's shooting at somebody.
01:24:34 Let's us go find this war.
01:24:36 Come on.
01:25:06 Maybe they're Limeys
01:25:11 They must be our guys.
01:25:17 Okay.
01:25:39 No.
01:25:56 Hey.
01:25:58 Hey, they were Germans.
01:26:14 Toward Caen.
01:26:39 Yes, I'll let you know right away.
01:26:41 Of course.
01:26:50 Are you positive that ankle's broken?
01:26:53 Compound fracture, sir.
01:26:54 Well, put the boot back on
01:26:57 ...tight.
01:26:59 Don't get mad, I didn't break it.
01:27:00 And you're not walking on it.
01:27:02 -You're not going to try...
01:27:17 Yes?
01:27:19 A, B and C Company are scattered
01:27:22 Go on.
01:27:23 Conklin landed on a stone wall, broke
01:27:27 Any contact with F Company?
01:27:29 No, but they must be up ahead
01:27:34 Well, go ahead. Tie it off.
01:27:42 Well, here's where we are.
01:27:43 The northern edge of the swamp area...
01:27:45 ...five miles from our drop zone.
01:27:47 Five miles.
01:27:50 -F Company?
01:27:51 And we've got scouts
01:27:53 We even picked up a group
01:27:56 F Company were the first
01:28:00 Well, give me a hand.
01:28:11 Can I have my rifle?
01:28:23 Well, we'll head out this way.
01:28:25 We ought to reach high ground
01:28:30 All right. Have the men spread out...
01:28:33 ...pick up any stragglers
01:28:35 -Pass the word.
01:28:36 All right, men, spread out.
01:28:39 Pass the word down.
01:28:42 All right...
01:28:44 ...let's go.
01:29:10 Yes. Thank you, Pemsel.
01:29:25 A diversionary attack, Blumentritt.
01:29:37 Where we always expected it!
01:30:25 Well, that about covers it, gentlemen.
01:30:31 Most of you have had
01:30:34 Dunkirk, Dieppe, Norway.
01:30:36 And we know what it means
01:30:40 In a few hours
01:30:44 And this time we're going to stay.
01:30:47 There's no time
01:30:49 ...England, home and beauty.
01:30:53 Remember, our people have had a
01:30:58 They've earned the final victory.
01:31:02 Let's give it to them.
01:31:05 And to our French comrades in arms,
01:31:08 Good luck.
01:31:10 Tomorrow morning, we'll take them.
01:31:21 Come in, Teddy.
01:31:32 Did you have to put it in writing?
01:31:34 I knew you wouldn't let me go
01:31:37 You're putting me on the spot.
01:31:39 -I didn't mean to, Tubby.
01:31:41 You put that request in writing,
01:31:44 You're the assistant division
01:31:47 And that's why I'm supposed to go
01:31:50 That's where I'm supposed to be.
01:31:53 You're important
01:31:55 We can't have you knocked off
01:31:58 But that's not the real reason.
01:32:00 Isn't it because my father was
01:32:04 And a great president.
01:32:06 And a great soldier.
01:32:07 He led the charge of the Rough Riders
01:32:12 So now you've got to be
01:32:15 But that's where I'm supposed to be,
01:32:25 Also, I've been there side by side
01:32:29 They're used to seeing where I belong.
01:32:33 President's son or not.
01:32:38 Is my request denied?
01:32:52 No, you know it's not.
01:32:55 Request reluctantly approved.
01:33:00 Thanks, Tubby.
01:33:03 Thanks a lot.
01:33:06 Say...
01:33:07 ...how's that arthritis of yours?
01:33:10 Arthritis?
01:33:12 Haven't had a touch in months.
01:33:15 Glad to hear it.
01:33:57 One more thing...
01:35:02 I understand.
01:35:30 Not now.
01:35:33 Thank you, gentlemen.
01:35:51 Sit down.
01:36:15 It's unbelievable.
01:36:45 Can I...
01:36:47 ...bring you anything, sir?
01:37:49 He was here a minute ago.
01:38:04 Not even a seagull...
01:38:15 My God!
01:38:22 The invasion.
01:38:25 They're coming!
01:38:48 It's amazing.
01:38:50 It's beyond belief.
01:39:14 General, in exactly two minutes...
01:39:17 ...the fleet will open fire.
01:39:20 Your attention, please.
01:39:40 Long live France!
01:41:01 They're landing!
01:41:14 I'm not crazy.
01:41:16 The Americans, the English
01:42:08 We're under fire. Yes, under fire!
01:42:36 It's wonderful!
01:42:56 Yes? What is it now?
01:42:58 Listen to me, Pips.
01:45:21 Those French bastards!
01:45:23 Sergeant!
01:45:34 Gentlemen, come here please.
01:46:15 There it is, men.
01:46:20 Lock on the target!
01:46:24 Stand by!
01:47:28 Get off of the beach!
01:47:30 Let's go!
01:48:15 Come on, move up!
01:48:34 Hello, General, sir.
01:48:35 Are you all right, boy?
01:48:37 Yes, sir.
01:48:39 Don't you think you better go
01:48:42 Out there, sir?
01:48:43 You're almost sure to need it
01:48:47 Yes, sir.
01:49:03 Come on! Move on up! Let's go.
01:49:13 Medic!
01:49:15 Medic!
01:49:35 General, first reports
01:49:38 "Assault teams have landed.
01:49:40 No direct radio contact,
01:49:43 ...first and second waves
01:49:46 Concentrated artillery
01:49:49 Third wave floundering."
01:50:49 When the mortars and machine guns
01:50:52 ...have the battalion commanders
01:50:54 ...over there.
01:50:55 Okay.
01:50:57 Hang on to that map case, Eddie.
01:51:28 I made it.
01:51:31 Hey, I made it.
01:51:33 Did you see me get those two guys?
01:51:37 Hey, Sergeant?
01:51:42 Sergeant?
01:51:45 As best as I can figure it,
01:51:49 We're a mile and a quarter south
01:51:53 We should be up there.
01:51:55 Control boat must've been confused
01:51:58 I agree with you,
01:52:00 Our reinforcements and heavy equipment
01:52:04 -I know, I know.
01:52:16 The reinforcements will have to
01:52:21 We're starting the war from right here.
01:52:24 -Head inland. We're going inland.
01:52:50 All right. Let's go!
01:53:53 Stand by to beach.
01:53:55 Duncan, take care of that strongpoint.
01:53:57 Any minute now. Stand by!
01:54:00 Let's give it them back for Dunkirk!
01:54:03 You hear that? Dunkirk.
01:54:06 Sure he was at school at the time.
01:54:10 Come on, you bums!
01:54:13 Come out, you dirty slobs!
01:54:20 The evil of it all. Drowning a man
01:54:23 Oh, come on!
01:54:58 Keep those vehicles moving!
01:55:01 MP, chase out those cyclists.
01:55:07 Get off the beach! Move inland!
01:55:11 Come on, you lot!
01:55:12 Hurry it up.
01:55:17 Never mind the blathering!
01:55:19 We must put these down somewhere.
01:55:21 The sooner you get off the beach...
01:55:23 ...the sooner they'll stop
01:55:26 It's very bad for the dog!
01:55:30 Down, Winston, down!
01:55:33 Beach Master Sword, Section 2-A.
01:55:36 Third wave ashore on time.
01:55:39 Standing by.
01:55:42 Get going!
01:55:44 For heaven's sake,
01:55:47 I was told I could transmit
01:55:50 If you can't drive it, carry it!
01:55:53 You were saying?
01:55:54 I was told I could transmit
01:55:57 My dear fellow, I don't want
01:56:00 Yes, I know all about
01:56:03 But this line happens
01:56:10 Down, Winston. Down, Winston.
01:56:15 What did he say?
01:56:16 The answer is no.
01:56:18 We have to use the damn pigeons.
01:56:20 I've got these ready.
01:56:22 Here, clip this on.
01:56:38 They're going the wrong way.
01:56:40 Not toward the Germans, you idiots!
01:56:42 The other way! The other way!
01:56:45 Damned traitors!
01:56:47 -Hold it.
01:56:50 What's the matter?
01:56:51 Engine won't start, sir.
01:56:55 My old grandmother used to say...
01:56:57 ...anything mechanical,
01:57:00 Try it now.
01:57:04 Thank you, sir.
01:57:06 Off you go. Good luck.
01:57:12 I'm sure that got it out.
01:57:15 That's what I call a hell of a man!
01:57:17 Aye, I like his dog too.
01:57:20 Don't stand there yapping!
01:57:22 This isn't Hyde Park Corner!
01:57:27 Come along!
01:57:29 Come on!
01:57:31 -Thank you.
01:57:34 Stand by to move.
01:57:48 What in God's name...?
01:57:54 Oh, my friends. What a day!
01:57:58 Welcome to France.
01:58:00 Most kind of you.
01:58:02 Look at this. I kept it for you all.
01:58:05 But I don't think there
01:58:08 Perhaps next time. We have
01:58:12 Mustn't lose that champagne!
01:58:14 All right, men, fall in!
01:58:19 Goodbye.
01:58:22 Thank you, boys! Thank you!
01:58:30 Long live France!
01:58:34 If you ask me, Flanagan...
01:58:35 ...there's a lot of very
01:58:40 Welcome!
01:58:42 Welcome to you all!
02:00:43 Rommel speaking.
02:00:44 Good morning.
02:00:47 What?
02:00:49 What!
02:00:51 Where?
02:00:52 Normandy!
02:01:40 There it is.
02:01:52 You mean to tell me
02:01:55 They're not as high
02:01:57 They wasn't shooting at us then.
02:02:00 Why can't the Air Force
02:02:03 The big guns in bunkers behind the
02:02:07 We knock them out or they'll
02:02:10 Yeah, well if you ask me...
02:02:12 ...three grandmothers with brooms
02:02:15 ...like flies off of a sugar cake.
02:08:36 That's it, the one we're after.
02:09:33 It's empty.
02:09:34 The Air Force and Navy
02:09:38 But I don't get...
02:09:40 The guns.
02:09:42 There ain't no mounts.
02:09:44 They've never even been installed.
02:09:48 You mean...
02:09:50 ...we come up all this way...
02:09:53 ...for nothing?
02:09:59 Don't worry, sarge,
02:10:01 Medic! Medic!
02:10:12 I wonder what "bitte, bitte" means?
02:10:25 What the hell are you
02:10:29 I can't swim.
02:10:38 Normandy. It really is Normandy.
02:11:12 Yes, Field Marshal.
02:11:23 Call him?
02:11:44 What's that?
02:11:51 Here, let me help you.
02:11:53 You all right, Tom?
02:12:01 -Sir.
02:12:03 Mr. Smith says to tell you
02:12:06 The Jerries are moving up
02:12:08 ...with machine guns and mortars.
02:12:11 -Tell the men to stand firm!
02:12:14 Tell them to expect another
02:12:21 -Here you are, mate.
02:12:27 What's the matter?
02:12:28 Listen. I thought I heard bagpipes.
02:12:31 Don't be daft!
02:12:41 I told you I heard bagpipes!
02:12:58 It's Lovat!
02:13:06 Come on!
02:13:08 Come on!
02:13:36 -Sorry I'm late.
02:13:38 Glad to see you, Shimmy.
02:13:44 You boys are right on target.
02:13:47 Jerry's regrouping in the woods,
02:13:50 With mortars and machine guns.
02:13:52 Numbers?
02:13:53 No idea, Shimmy, but they seem
02:13:59 In that case, we won't wait.
02:14:01 We'd better get moving.
02:14:03 All right, we're going across.
02:14:05 -Millin!
02:14:07 "Black Bear," sir.
02:14:09 All right, come on.
02:14:11 Everybody up!
02:14:13 On your feet!
02:14:21 There he goes. He's at it again.
02:14:24 Ever hear such a bleeding racket
02:14:27 Yeah, it takes an Irishman
02:14:45 Hold until relieved.
02:14:47 Hold until relieved.
02:14:51 North by east, north by east.
02:14:56 Somebody turned that sign around.
02:14:58 Doesn't anybody in this outfit
02:15:02 Hey, you guys!
02:15:03 Over here! Over here!
02:15:08 Over here, on the double.
02:15:13 -Where you taking that?
02:15:15 We took the wrong road.
02:15:18 What do you got in here, ammo?
02:15:20 Yes, sir.
02:15:21 You 82nd?
02:15:22 No, sir, 101.
02:15:24 Well, you're in the 82nd now.
02:15:28 -But, sir, we're...
02:15:30 Nothing, sir.
02:15:32 All right, move out.
02:15:37 -Knock that sign down!
02:15:46 -Something's moving up there, colonel.
02:15:52 Lieutenant Sheen, sir, A Company.
02:15:56 Colonel, it's me!
02:16:01 -Where did you come from?
02:16:04 We hold the main road
02:16:06 The Germans have a battery
02:16:10 -...and command the countryside.
02:16:12 -Holed up in a building in the square.
02:16:17 They overshot the drop zone
02:16:20 Go on.
02:16:21 It was a nightmare, sir. A slaughter.
02:16:24 They were mowed down
02:16:31 Major Lance sent me to try
02:16:34 He wants your permission to pull back
02:16:40 No, damn it. We came here
02:16:45 We're gonna take it and hold it.
02:16:48 Follow the lieutenant, gentlemen.
02:17:01 -Sir.
02:17:04 British and Canadians advancing
02:17:11 Anything from Omaha?
02:17:13 Nothing since the first message:
02:17:18 Sir.
02:17:22 Omaha?
02:17:25 No.
02:17:29 I can't understand why Jerry hasn't
02:17:34 All the panzer divisions
02:17:37 ...seem to be sitting it out
02:17:40 Sir.
02:17:44 French commandos driving inland
02:17:47 ...have reached the outskirts
02:17:50 Ouistreham.
02:20:36 Fall back!
02:20:40 Take cover!
02:22:44 Fire!
02:22:56 Get the wounded out of here!
02:23:26 Go back!
02:23:28 Get out of here!
02:24:39 It's a tank!
02:24:42 It's Kieffer!
02:24:54 In the other direction!
02:25:06 Clear away the debris! Hurry!
02:25:49 Yeah, yeah, you're trying.
02:27:02 That thing still work?
02:27:03 Yes, sir, now and then.
02:27:05 -Anything from the other beaches?
02:27:08 A while ago the sergeant picked up
02:27:12 The 4th Division is off Utah Beach
02:27:17 Inland?
02:27:20 -What about the 1 st Division?
02:27:23 Like we are.
02:27:29 Move out.
02:27:49 -What do you think?
02:27:52 We must have close to a thousand
02:27:55 Do you want me to have the ships
02:27:59 -You think it's that bad?
02:28:01 We can't get up this hill.
02:28:03 If we don't get off this beach,
02:28:06 What?
02:28:08 These are our men, Tom.
02:28:10 You think we brought them in so some
02:28:14 Hell, no.
02:28:17 Find me somebody to speak
02:28:20 Back down the beach
02:28:23 With a heavily defended roadblock
02:28:28 -If we can blow our way through...
02:28:31 -We didn't get close.
02:28:34 We're gonna hit it again.
02:28:37 They're all around you!
02:28:38 I mean engineers
02:28:42 Then I shouldn't radio the ships?
02:28:44 No, damn it!
02:28:45 We need bangalore torpedoes,
02:28:50 ...and every man that can stand.
02:28:54 Okay, Norm.
02:29:11 Now listen to me, all of you.
02:29:14 You guys got to snap out of it.
02:29:17 We're getting off of here,
02:29:20 What about weapons, General?
02:29:23 They gotta have something
02:29:25 Strip the dead and the wounded.
02:29:27 Pick up anything that'll shoot.
02:29:29 I don't have to tell you the score,
02:29:32 Only two kinds of people
02:29:35 Those that are already dead and those
02:29:39 You guys are the fighting 29th!
02:29:58 I've looked at the naval reports.
02:30:00 Yes?
02:30:02 According to reports from the offshore
02:30:07 There's no evidence...
02:30:09 "There is no evidence of any movement
02:30:16 I'd better have a look through these.
02:30:21 How is Ike taking it?
02:30:22 Like everybody else, sir.
02:30:38 Can you hear me?
02:30:44 Nonsense!
02:31:02 Yes, General.
02:31:29 -Where is everybody?
02:31:34 I said, where is everybody?
02:31:38 I can't hear you.
02:31:41 It's them bells.
02:31:43 I've had them in my ears
02:31:46 Ding-dong, ding-dong.
02:31:51 Hey, Sergeant, where's Major Lance?
02:31:53 We moved the CP to that
02:31:56 Get him, the colonel's here.
02:31:59 What?
02:32:02 Hold it!
02:32:13 Colonel, am I glad to see you!
02:32:17 Those bodies. Get those bodies down.
02:32:20 Why are you leaving them up there?
02:32:22 But we've been under fire, sir.
02:32:24 I know you have, but I don't care!
02:32:26 Get them down! Down!
02:32:29 -I don't want those boys left there.
02:32:33 -At once!
02:32:39 Has there been a linkup between our
02:32:43 I don't know, Major. I don't even
02:32:48 But I am sure we're gonna hold
02:32:53 Whenever that is, today, tomorrow,
02:32:58 For their sake,
02:33:00 Show me the enemy positions.
02:33:03 Well, sir, the Germans' strong point
02:33:06 That's over there on the hill.
02:33:09 They've got heavy guns and machine
02:33:13 How many men have you got?
02:33:16 Not enough.
02:33:17 Lt. Wilson will take A Company
02:33:21 The rest of the command will follow us
02:33:27 Good luck, Major.
02:33:28 All right, A Company, fall out.
02:33:31 -Private.
02:33:33 It's a helluva war.
02:33:34 It's a privilege to serve
02:33:37 Well, God willing, we'll do
02:33:41 Ready, sir.
02:33:43 Move out!
02:33:55 The old man sure has changed
02:34:04 Or maybe it's just
02:34:07 ...since yesterday.
02:34:16 Lovat and his commandos
02:34:19 Bob, did you hear?
02:34:21 Yes, I heard.
02:34:24 "Sainte-Mère-Eglise captured
02:34:30 "101 Airborne driving on Utah."
02:34:33 That's good. Good.
02:34:36 Yes, but if we can't get off Omaha
02:34:41 We'll have two cut-off beachheads,
02:34:45 Yes...
02:34:46 ...and the Germans in between.
02:35:03 You guys engineers?
02:35:06 Yes, sir. 299th.
02:35:08 Where are your officers?
02:35:11 I guess I am, sir.
02:35:14 What about your equipment?
02:35:16 Yes, sir, we'll make them work!
02:35:19 -What's your name, Sergeant?
02:35:22 You're Lieutenant Fuller from now on,
02:35:28 You send some men down to the foot
02:35:32 You and the rest of the men follow me.
02:35:34 Yes, sir!
02:35:36 All right, men!
02:35:45 -I got a rifle, sir.
02:35:49 The Rangers are ready, General.
02:35:51 Okay, Major, move them out.
02:35:53 Captain, move them up.
02:35:56 Move them up!
02:36:00 -Well, Tom?
02:36:02 As ready as we'll ever be.
02:36:04 It'll work. It's got to work.
02:36:08 We're getting murdered here! We might
02:36:16 -You ready?
02:36:18 You're gonna blow
02:36:21 When I give the word
02:36:24 Yes, sir.
02:36:51 First, we gotta blow a hole
02:36:55 If that works, we'll pack
02:37:00 All right, let's go!
02:39:53 All right, let's go! Go! Go!
02:41:00 You don't say!
02:42:33 Don't worry, Yank.
02:42:40 He's dead.
02:43:02 Give me a cigarette.
02:43:13 You hurt bad?
02:43:18 Shot down during the night.
02:43:24 He was gonna make sure of me,
02:43:28 ...with this.
02:43:40 You ever killed a man?
02:43:45 No.
02:43:47 Neither had I, face to face.
02:43:54 I've been sitting here looking at him.
02:43:58 Have you noticed anything peculiar
02:44:10 No.
02:44:13 He's got his boots...
02:44:15 ...on the wrong feet.
02:44:24 He must have been
02:44:28 Is it bad?
02:44:32 Split wide open...
02:44:35 ...from the crotch to the knee.
02:44:38 A medic came along and gave me
02:44:45 I hope he'll be back
02:44:48 He said he would.
02:44:52 Did he sew you up?
02:44:58 Well, when he came to shore
02:45:04 So he pinned it together...
02:45:07 ...with safety pins.
02:45:20 Getting on toward night.
02:45:29 You know something?
02:45:32 I haven't fired my gun all day.
02:45:34 I keep hearing shooting, but every
02:45:42 Funny, isn't it?
02:45:44 He's dead.
02:45:47 I'm crippled.
02:45:50 You're lost.
02:45:54 I suppose it's always like that.
02:45:57 I mean war.
02:46:06 I wonder who won.
02:46:49 Okay, run me up the hill, son.
