Operation Amsterdam Page #2

---

We have to get to Amsterdam.

It's not very difficult

to guess why you're here.

Do you mind

if I add my little authority to these?

Pieces of paper

can help on these occasions.

Certainly.

- I say they are fifth columnists.

- Put your gun away.

They should be shot like the others.

Second wave. It's like this all the time.

- You all right?

- Yes.

I see our spy-shooting friend's left us.

There have been

thousands of them out there.

Everybody wants to get to England.

The trawlers are too few,

and, each raid, we lose more.

Could we take one of those cars

on the quay?

Help yourself. They belong to the refugees.

I hope you find one that works.

We don't leave much to the enemy.

- Thank you.

- Not at all. Good-bye.

Good luck.

Those are the lucky ones.

Bowerman was right about the mines.

Is that all you can say?

There's nothing we can do to help.

Come on.

One of them must work.

Smit! Stop that car!

Leave me alone!

We need the car.

We must get into Amsterdam.

- What did you want to do that for?

- Well?

- This young woman wants to take her life.

- Why did you stop me?

Because we need your car.

I'm a British officer.

These gentlemen are Dutch.

We came here in a British destroyer.

We were sent by your government and mine.

How do I know you tell the truth?

I belong to the firm of J.K. Smit, Amsterdam.

All right.

How much is that worth?

It's quite pretty.

It's not worth much.

It has flaws, and the setting is poor.

Get in. I'll take you.

Reverse. No water.

I promised to take you. I keep my word.

Damn that man!

Leave this to me.

All right.

Let them through.

I work in a branch of the War Ministry

in Amsterdam.

I have a pass, that's all.

We were lucky to find you.

Amsterdam, 84205.

Even the windmills have stopped turning.

How bad is the news?

Who knows? Some say the Germans

are being beaten back.

Others say they've already

occupied Amsterdam.

There is no truth left in Holland.

What's your name?

Anna.

What were you doing in ljmuiden?

I was getting Joseph's parents

off to England.

Who's Joseph?

Joseph's my fianc.

He's a Jew.

He's away in the army. He asked me

to save his parents, if the Germans attacked.

I did.

I put them on a boat.

It was just a small boat. One of the three...

You mean, the three fishing trawlers

in the mine?

If I hadn't put them on that boat,

they'd be still alive.

Who knows, then it might have been

worse for them.

It's not your fault.

Thank you for trying to help.

They're wearing Dutch uniforms.

Think they're all right?

We won't stop to find out.

Keep going, Anna, fast.

Now, we'll never know. Well done!

It's strange to be back.

I can't believe the Germans are so near.
