Hart's War Page #2

Synopsis: Fourth-generation Army Col. William McNamara is imprisoned in a brutal German POW camp. Still, as the senior-ranking American officer, he commands his fellow inmates, keeping a sense of honor alive in a place where honor is easy to destroy, all under the dangerous eye of the Luftwafe vetran Col. Wilhelm Visser. Never giving up the fight to win the war, McNamara is silently planning, waiting for his moment to strike back at the enemy. A murder in the camp gives him the chance to set a risky plan in motion. With a court martial to keep Visser and the Germans distracted, McNamara orchestrates a cunning scheme to escape and destroy a nearby munitions plant, enlisting the unwitting help of young Lt. Tommy Hart. Together with his men, McNamara uses a hero's resolve to carry out his mission, ultimately forced to weigh the value of his life against the good of his country.

is still going on.

The entire front...

stretching about

30 miles south of Monschau...

is in full view.

On our side,

countermeasures are being taken.

On the enemy's side,

more strafes are being flown in.

This is a major German effort.

Some of the best units

in the German army...

were involved

in this penetration.

At ease, soldier.

Sit down.

Thank you, sir.

So tell me, Lieutenant...

How come you're not dead?

Sir?

First you survive

crashing that jeep...

then Hans and Fritz

take your boots.

You got a rabbit's foot

in your pocket, son?

Two horseshoes

and a 4-leaf clover, sir.

Atta boy.

By the way...

you might want to take it easy

on that bread.

You haven't had anything

solid for a while.

Wouldn't want you to wind up

in the infirmary.

I don't know, sir.

After the march I just made...

and infirmary might look

like the Waldorf to me.

A stomach can shrink

quite a bit in 17 days.

That's the number, isn't it?

Seventeen days?

Six days on the train...

another 6 days of marching.

What was it, Joe?

Five days of interrogation?

No, sir.

Three days.

Well, anyway...

easy does it.

Yes, sir. Thank you.

So this interrogator

they threw at you...

his name wasn't Schumann,

was it?

No, sir.

Lutz.

Schumann was a real prick.

Almost broke me in two.

Not much for small talk,

I guess.

You come to appreciate that.

Smoke, Lieutenant?

Would you care

for a cigarette?

Again, Lieutenant,

I need to ask you...

the fuel dumps...

Thank you.

This Captain Lutz...

he know much about

your operations at the chateau?

He knew everything, sir.

Fuel dump locations?

Troop movements?

Sir, he knew what

I'd had for breakfast...

the morning of my capture.

Point,

and we can end all this.

Just name, rank,

and serial number.

Good enough.

You're excused, Lieutenant.

Unfortunately,

we won't be able...

to quarter you here.

We're full up.

We're gonna have to

put you in Barracks 27.

Isn't barracks 27

for enlisted men, sir?

Yes, it is...

but as you can see...

the Germans are doing a rather

brisk business these days.

You'll be comfortable there.

Sir.

-Lieutenant.

-Sir.

Point.

Point or say

hello to stumps...

for the rest

of your life.

Good.

Don, are you in?

I called.

Hold your water, Joe.

Hold your water, Joe.

Looks like a whole division

just surrendered.

Who's in charge here?

Hey, how many we up to?

Three lovely ladies,

big shot.

That's right.

That's right.

-Excuse me.

-Yeah?

I'm looking for

who's in charge here.

From the looks of things,

I'd say Adolf Hitler.

I'm Lieutenant Tom Hart.

It's OK, folks.

Staff Sergeant Vic Bedford.

-Good to meet you.

-You, too.

You just come in
