Yes. But it's not our decision

to make, Second Lieutenant.

Checkpoint 3 here. There is

heavy activity on the other side.

I repeat. Heavy activity

on the German side of the border.

Roger that.

Have the Germans crossed the border?

No, but we can hear heavy activity.

- How large a force?

- How large a force?

That's hard to tell. We can't see

them. We can only hear them.

What are our orders?

Stand by

and await further instructions.

Checkpoint 3, stay there. Stand by

and await further instructions.

- Yes, sir. Roger that.

- Padborg, Krusaa and now Rens.

There's no longer any doubt

about their intentions.

Get me the head of

the Jutland Division again.

Haderslev and Snderborg

are also on red alert.

They're waiting for permission

to leave.

They're 50 kilometres away.

The first hour we're alone.

Lieutenant Colonel?

The head of the Jutland Division.

Turn off the loudspeaker.

Major General? Three checkpoints

report rising troop activity.

I implore you to let me take

my troops to the border -

- and have them

take a defensive position.

I realise that, Major General, but

we're 10 kilometres from the border.

If we wait here for them to cross

there's no time to take position.

Has the General Staff considered

persuading the Minister?

Considering the recent escalation.

Yes, Major General.

We'll do our best.

No news so far.

We'll stay on red alert for now.

The Prime Minister feels that

any Danish mobilization -

- might be viewed as confrontational.

Defense strategy is a confrontation?

And the German manoeuvres aren't?

- Keep your opinions to your self.

- Yes, lieutenant Colonel. Sorry.

Gentlemen, get your men

ready to march.

Yes, Lieutenant Colonel.

- Sergeant Klostergaard?

- Yes.

- Room inspection.

- Yes, Second Lieutenant.

Shouldn't we have taken

a defensive position?

Yes, we should. You can thank your

prime minister for this situation.

May I see the photo?

- Can I have it back, please?

- Easy now.

There's not much that we can do.

Not everybody's an excellent shot.

Come on.

Hi, Lassen.

Are you getting any sleep?

Not much, no.

- Are you nervous, Lassen?

- Yes.

Yes. It's not everyday

they supply us with ammunition.

- 40 rounds each isn't much.

- No we didn't get a lot.

Can we have some of yours?

It's not for me. I have

the machine gun. It's for Lundgren.

I don't think

we're allowed to do that, Andersen.

Lassen, you're not

the best shot here. You know that.

But Lundgren

We know what he can do with a rifle.

- Just half of them.

- 20 rounds.

It's for all our sakes.

- Yes.

- Good.

Lassen, stop. Don't do it.

We each received 40 rounds.

No one's getting any more than that.
