- The two of you should be in bed.

- Yes, Mr. Barracks Duty.

- I'm serious.

- Gram, it's okay.

- I don't mind.

- What's the problem?

It's not up to you to decide,

and you know that.

- Gram, don't you want a victory?

- Of course I do.

You're German, right?

Maybe you don't want a victory.

I'm proud to call myself a Dane.

- But you're not.

- That's exactly what I am.

- Your father's German, right?

- Yes.

- Then you're German, too.

- You're thicker than I thought.

This is not a game.

Let's save it for tomorrow, eh?

- Go back to sleep.

- It's hard with you squabbling.

No one's speaking to you, Justesen.

I'm serious, Andersen.

Get into your bed. Right now.

- Or what?

- Just go to bed.

- What's going on in here?

- Attention!

You were to go to bed in uniform!

And look at you! I have better things

to do than to keep an eye on you!

How hard is it to button a jacket?

Your buttons are crooked!

Do it again!

225, you're on barracks duty.

This is your responsibility!

Yes, Sergeant.

Button those jackets.

- Finish that letter and go to bed.

- Yes, Second Lieutenant.

This room will be completely quiet

in two minutes!

As you were!

- Need a match, Second Lieutenant?

- I think so.

- Are your men sleeping?

- They're trying to.

It's hard in a uniform.

I thought that that order

was directed at everyone

except the officers.

- You're Bundgaard?

- Yes.

I understand

we're supporting your unit.

- If they cross the border.

- When they cross the border.

We'll probably

be the first to face them.

Somebody has to go first.

- Can I have one?

- Of course.

Well Cycle as hard

as you can getting there.

- We'll need you there.

- We'll be there.

We're faster than you think.

- Keep the matches.

- Thank you.

- Sergeant Bundgaard.

- Second Lieutenant.

If the Germans wanted to attack

they'd have done it by now.

Someone's sitting

somewhere negotiating.

No one's interested

in a direct confrontation.

Something's going on

in the radio room.

Checkpoint 3. Please repeat.

German troops are on the move.

What can you see?

We can see some infantry

and armoured vehicles.

- They're coming straight at us.

- Have they crossed the border?

Checkpoint 3?

The border's breached.

We're under fire! What ...?

Checkpoint 3, please repeat.

Checkpoint 3, come in.

You heard him.

The enemy has breached our border.

Denmark is in a state of war.

Gentlemen, now's the time to show

what we're made of.

Alert! Alert! Come on!

On your bikes! Quickly!

Come on, Kolding.

- 2nd Bicycle Platoon, let's go!

- Yes, Sergeant.

Next.

Second Lieutenant, 219, 4th Company,

2nd Platoon. Machine gun.

Next.

Second Lieutenant, 223,

4th Company, 2nd Platoon, assistant.
