Soldiers of the Damned Page #2

We should not be taking

women behind enemy lines.

- It's not the Russians we

should be worried about.

Not on this trip.

- What's he talking about?

- Nothing.

- Is a whole company

of paratroopers

vanishing into

thin air "nothing?"

- That's ridiculous,

it didn't happen.

- What didn't happen?

- It was in '42.

- Come on Nic.

- A company parachuted into the

Hoia-Baciu forest at night.

- Forest, at night?

No wonder they disappeared.

- See, the pilot f***ed up.

He got lost.

Kicked them out before

their intended position.

Only one of them was ever

seen again, a Sergeant.

- What happened to the rest?

- The Sergeant could

no longer speak.

He was too old.

Still wearing the

same uniform but

he'd aged 80 years

in three days.

- Feel like I've aged 80 years

just listening to

this stupid story.

- The forest is possessed.

- Now that is crazy.

- Maybe not so much.

North American Indians

believe in forest spirits.

- Forest spirits, good

and bad, right, Rolf?

- Exactly, they take the

form of little hairy men.

Generally they are good natured,

but sometimes they

throw stones at you.

Maybe sticks.

- I suppose you

think that's funny.

- If the forest

is possessed we're

going with the right person.

- What do you know, Carl?

- The woman, she's a scientist,

a professor of

something or other.

- Tell us.

- She's from the Ahnenerbe.

- You sure?

- What's Ahne... Ahnenerbe?

- The Ahnenerbe is a myth.

It doesn't exist.

Nothing so ridiculous

could exist.

- Oh, Jesus.

- What?

What is it?

- Himmler's occult department.

- What's occult?

- How come you haven't shot your

own foot off with

that rifle yet?

- What are they looking for?

- What does it matter?

Whatever it is, the result

will be the same.

- Direct

orders from Himmler.

- Who cares who gives the order?

- Because if anyone returns

from this mission alive

and doesn't have

what Himmler wants-

- What, Lieutenant?

- Himmler doesn't like failure.

- We'll be with those

we have long missed.

- Lieutenant, do you know what

we're looking for in the forest?

- You speak to me again and

I'll cut your throat open.

- She's the professor?

- Christ...

- I knew I

should have studied more.

- Right, this is

where we're going.

We'll cross here, Eric.

Intelligence reports have been

quiet there for three days now.

It's the best we've got.

From there it's five

miles to the forest.

I want to be in the

trees before dawn.

We only engage the enemy if

it's absolutely necessary.

Clear?

- Yes, sir.

Major...

This mission, it

doesn't make any sense.

- All that matters is we

get there and get back.

I don't want any

of my men killed

as a result of this madness.
