Decision Before Dawn Page #2

of Germany by French or Alsatian agents...

or by any non-German personnel is

practically an impossibility. Okay, Simonson?

- Yes, sir.

- Now for the rough part.

I ask that you reconsider our request

with the use of German prisoners

of war in our work.

We've already located many promising

candidates in several P.W. camps.

How about the men down

at the Sarrebourg cage?

- They said they'd hold 'em

another day or two, sir.

- All right.

These men, I believe, if properly trained

and used, can help save American lives.

- We intend to take only

volunteers, and in that case-

Pinpoint Forward.

Captain Siebert speaking.

Yes, he's here. Just a minute.

G2 Seventh Army, sir.

Devlin speaking. Yes, sir.

Then we can go ahead

as discussed?

Well, I'm sure you won't regret it.

Thank you, sir. Bye.

Forget the memo. The old boy came through.

Army says, try it out.

- That's very gracious of them.

- This calls for a drink,

don't you think, Colonel?

- Right. Break out the Quetch, Harold.

- Aye, aye, sir.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I forgot to introduce you.

- This is Gevers, Recruiting.

- Hi.

- Major Richards, our exec.

- Welcome to our club.

- Vincent, Documents.

- Hello, Lieutenant.

Siebert-Where is he?

Oh. Siebert, Security.

- Glad to meet you, Lieutenant.

- Sergeant Simonson...

- best red tape specialist,

both sides of the Atlantic.

- Thank you, sir.

- This is Lieutenant, uh-

What was your name again?

- Rennick.

That's right. Lieutenant Rennick.

Our new communications officer.

Richards, we'll want transportation

first thing in the morning for Sarrebourg.

Well, we're finally gonna pay a visit

to your German friends, Pete.

Pardon me, but if I may,

I'd like to talk with you about my duties.

Well, it can wait

till morning, can't it?

How about coming to Sarrebourg?

lt'll give you an idea of what it's all about.

- Votre sant, messieurs-

or should I say, prost.

- Prost.!

No, sir. Not me. When a man gets his life

handed back to him like I just did...

he'd be a fool

to put it up for sale again.

- I'll do any kind of work you want, but-

- Next man.

I have never been

interested in politics.

They forced me to join the party.

It was the only way I could get a promotion.

All right. Next man.

Sergeant Rudolph Barth reporting, sir.

At ease, Sergeant. Sit down.

- You smoke?

- Yes, sir. I do.

Dick?

- Thank you.

- Uh, not now.

What unit were you with

when captured?

Twenty-fourth Infantry-

or what was left of it.

- Did you desert?

- No, sir. I was caught by one

of your patrols while, uh-

while visiting the wife

of an Alsatian farmer.

She was a very lonely woman, sir.

How long have you been

in the Wehrmacht, Barth?
