Ten hut! Fire!

What's going on out there?

I solemnly

swear by God the almighty.

A pure and sincere vow.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God, I overslept.

To fight the enemy

courageously and stoutly.

To preserve and protect

our ordnance.

And to always stand

by our flags.

The same as any brave soldier

would for his country.

The same as any brave soldier

would do for his country.

This is the biggest firework

that exists.

The Red Eagle.

If you're in danger,

you have a...

a problema...

you have a problema...

You light the fuse.

You understand?

You light the fuse.

It'll go up in the air.

And I'll see it,

up there in the mountains.

And I'll come down...

and I'll help you.

You understand?

Capito?

Fire!

Fall out!

Rifleman Gruber

reporting for duty, sir.

Close ranks.

Look after yourself.

It's good, I'll be all right.

I love you.

Everybody, attention!

Right face!

Company, march!

Hey, alpini.

What is it?

Oh, alpini.

Alpini! Alpini! Alpini!

Are you out of your mind?

Quiet down, for Christ's sake.

What's going on?

I was just taking a leak,

and this idiot

almost shot at me.

Ander said they were alpini.

Don't worry, you'll stop

laughing soon enough.

Where would the alpini come from

on this side

of the mountain, huh?

Get back in line.

I don't want

the first one to die

before the war even starts.

Let's go.

Are you frightened?

You?

Eh.

When you go to war,

you always have two choices.

You could get caught

with your pants down,

or up and ready to go.

If it doesn't catch you,

good for you.

If the worst thing happens,

you still have two choices.

You either survive, or you die.

If you survive, that's great.

But if you happen to die...

You have two options again.

You'll either end up alone

in a single grave

or in a mass grave.

Let's move! And...

Hurry!

What happens?

Come on.

What can happen?

Savoya! Savoya! Savoya! Savoya!

It's not easy for you,

Gruber, huh?

What do you mean?

Fighting against

your own family.

What is it, teacher?

Are you still having a hard time

because I wouldn't give you

Lisl to be your wife?

Come on.

My daughter needed

a man, a real man.

Men!

Out there, under that rock,

we make camp.

Holy crap.

Look at them.

There are so many.

About 200 or 300

are sitting down there.

Well, it's a hundred times

more men than we have.

Ten.

The alpini are better equipped

and better trained than we are.

When do the Germans join us?

We can't wait for them.

But God is on our side.

All right, then, tell him

to get us some more ammunition.

We can put more fires up.

Hurry!

Come on!

Hurry!

It's about time.

Let's unpack... quick!

Those first few days of the war
