- Next.

- 217, 4th Company, 2nd Platoon.

- Assistant.

- Next.

- 233, help him with the tripod.

- Yes, sir.

- Ready?

- Yes, Sergeant!

- 217, are you ready? 212?

- Yes, Sergeant!

Correct that rifle!

219, are you ready?

Yes, Sergeant!

The Germans have breached the border

in three places, among them Krusaa.

They're coming straight at us

on Highway 10.

If we can hold that road,

the Germans can't move north.

Any news from the other barracks?

Haderslev and Snderborg

are on their way.

We have to hold the enemy

until help arrives.

Then we force the Germans back.

All new orders

will come from Snder Hostrup.

We'll rendezvous at Lundtoftebjerg.

Hold them back until then.

We'll do our best, Lieutenant.

Lieutenant.

Attention!

- Platoon at the ready.

- Affirmative, Sergeant.

A German panzer division

has breached the border!

This is not an exercise!

Denmark is at war!

Fight well!

Platoon, follow me!

Platoon, ready to mount

your bicycles!

Mount!

Faster!

- Halt!

- Halt! Dismount!

At the ready!

It's the motorcycle platoon.

- Maybe it's all over.

- I don't think so.

Halt!

Lieutenant.

We barely got into position.

We stopped a few armoured vehicles

and got some foot soldiers.

- But there were too many of them.

- How many?

One or two motorized companies

supported by armoured vehicles.

We're heading north

to set up proper defences.

- We are to hold Lundtoftebjerg.

- Lundtoftebjerg has fallen.

- Then we dig ourselves down here.

- Terrain's too open. Come with us.

We are to hold Lundtoftebjerg until

Haderslev and Snderborg get here.

- You don't know what's coming.

- Do as you please.

I never ignore my orders.

There's no time for quarreling.

Sand. You have to convince him.

- I agree with him.

- Be careful, Second Lieutenant.

Let's move out!

What's going on?

- Sergeant Klostergaard!

- Yes, sir!

The machine gun's our best bet

against their armoured vehicles.

Let's split into three groups.

How long until

the reinforcements arrive?

- At least 20 minutes.

- All right.

Sand, first group, in the trees.

I'll take the second group.

Third group on the hill.

Machine gun, await my signal.

Carbines, open fire when the

infantry's within range. Understood?

- Yes, sir.

- Come on.

- First group, you're with me!

- Second, wait for the Lieutenant.

Third group, follow me!

Second group!

219, by that tree!

212, assist the machine gun group.

50 meters that way!

- We'll position ourselves here, 225!

- Yes, sir.

Here.

Good position, 219. We're standing

by for the Lieutenant's orders.

Short bursts.

Focus on their armoured vehicles.

Affirmative, Second Lieutenant.
