could be your half sister,

except that

she's too good looking.

What her? She's as ugly

as Punch's sore eyed dog.

[CHUCKLES THEN WHISTLES]

Oi! Oi!

It seems strange having

to leave prepared positions.

You'd think

we'd have to sit here

and wait for Jerry

to appear.

As far as I can gather

we're going up

to the River Dyle

to hold a defensive position

there.

Yeah, that's right.

We sit up on the end

of a line

held by the French

to connect up

with the Belgians.

Like closing a door.

And we're the door, eh?

Yeah, that's right.

At least so the Major said.

Yeah?

Well supposing someone

puts their foot

in the bloody door?

[BELL TONGS]

We're going to hang out the

Washing on the Siegfried Line

Have you any dirty washing

Mother dear?

We're gonna hang out

The washing

On the Siegfried Line

' Cause the washing day

Is here

Whether the weather

May be wet

Or fine

We'll just rub along

BRIGADIER:
And that is the end

of the communiqu.

Any questions?

Has the Belgian front broken,

sir?

Is it true that

they have attacked

in force on either side

of Sedan?

Are German tanks

on the outskirts of Brussels?

Now, gentlemen, gentlemen,

one at a time, please!

The situation is fluid

in the highest degree.

The main fighting

has not yet begun.

The information that

I've given you is...

[BOMBS BLASTING]

We'll just rub along

Without a care

We're going to hang out the

Washing on the Siegfried Line

If the Siegfried Line's

Still there

[BOMBS EXPLODING]

Orders to pull back, sir.

Pull back?

Tell the others, Sergeant.

Yes, sir.

We're pulling back, sir.

Get moving.

We're pulling back.

All right, Corporal,

pack it up.

We're pulling back.

Why?

Don't ask me. Ask the blinking

generals. I don't know.

Well, we're holding them,

aren't we?

They're still the other side

of the river.

I don't know I tell you.

All I know is

we've got to be out of here

by 1900 hours.

Now, get moving!

We're gonna hang out the

Washing on the Siegfried Line

'Cause the washing day

Is here

Whether the weather

May be wet or fine

We'll just rub along

Without a care

We're going to hang out the

Washing on the Siegfried Line

If the Siegfried Line's

Still there

[BOMBS EXPLODING]

I'm sorry, gentlemen,

I have nothing further to say.

It has been reported

that Calais has been

heavily attacked.

BROUWER:
Is it true

that Boulogne has fallen?

REPORTER:

What is the true position

of the

British Expeditionary...

[]

Let the first car

get on the bridge.

Blast, he's twigged it!

Well, let him have it! Now!

Right! Get your gear

together and run!

BINNS:

Come on, boys.

[GUNFIRE]

Okay, all of you?

BIRTHS:

Yes, sir.
