You drop it!

Keep it down!

We're Americans.

Prove it!

What?

Who was the third president

of the United States?

Just put the gun down.

Thomas Jefferson.

Who was the fourth?

Madison.

What's with this guy?

What's the capital of Vermont?

Hartford-- I--

Sarge!

Give me a break!

Nobody knows that.

You tell me!

Haven't the foggiest.

Sorry, boys.

Where's your command post?

Used to be that way.

Sorry for the trouble.

Thank you.

Montpelier.

About how far back?

About 10 to 15 miles.

Soldier, who are you?

Flight Sergeant,

Oberon Winley,

Royal Air Force.

Oberon...

Winley.

Look, I am in possession

of some crucial intelligence.

I need to get to

the nearest command center.

Buddy, you must have smashed

your head on a tree

coming down or something.

Or a bloody field phone at least.

There are no field phones,

and you will keep it down.

Can we shoot him now, Sarge?

Shut up!

Winley,

where do you think you're going?

I was intended to fly

back to Manhay.

Really?

Well, we've had a bit

of bad luck around here.

A Panzer division went

on a spoiling expedition,

and we are now

behind the enemy lines.

This isn't some little

spoiling expedition.

This is a major

German offensive.

After the Germans attacked,

we were ordered to fly

an emergency photo

re-con mission

to collect electronic

intelligence.

We were flying

under some--

some cloud cover and...

snapped some

rather revealing photos.

But by the time we realized

what we had,

a German fighter

had shot us down.

So you need to get

to intelligence?

Yes.

And it's damn critical

that I get there

as soon as possible.

They've punched through...

all along here...

right where we're thinnest.

Why would they do that?

If they punch through here,

they're exposing their flank.

That's right.

Unless, of course,

they hurry and make it

to the Meuse River

and cross over.

I don't get it.

Well, if they cross the Meuse,

then they can turn

and take Leige.

I went through there

on my way in.

It's got one of

the biggest ammo dumps

I've ever seen there.

It's one of the largest

in Europe.

And if the Krauts take Leige,

they take the ammo dump.

Or we have to destroy it.

Either way, it's a straight shot

for them to take back Antwerp.

What is this?

This ain't German.

Thank you.

I have got to get these

to there

before the Germans cross

the Meuse River.

It's over 20 miles.

As a crow flies, yes.

Thank you.

And we're supposed to outrun

an entire Panzer division,

on foot?

You know,

we could follow this rail line

along here

and then cut up through here

and shortcut them.

Could save a lot of troops.

Hey...

Where'd you learn

to speak German?

What?
