Lotna Page #4

---

Take care of Jurek.

You're in command after all.

If I only could, I'd tell you

to take him and protect him.

But as long as he's in the saddle,

he won't let his sabre go.

Take his horse away from him.

It brings bad luck.

I'd like to.

You're jealous of her.

You promissed it to me!

Halt!

What has happened, corporal?

Why are you fleeing?

Germans!

Germans...

- Jerzy!

- They're close.

Go this way with the troop.

I'll hold them here.

- Calm down. We'll go together

- I'm the one who gives orders.

We'll meet at the point 45.

Let's go then!

There's enough Germans for everybody.

We're staying here!

It's going to be hot here.

Boys!

I thought you were Krauts.

Germans, lieutenant!

You always run away

like bats out of hell.

- Did you bump into Krauts?

- They made a bloodbath on the road.

I saw 4 people being killed.

And the company commander...

He was a sturdy man like you...

And all that is left of him is... a leg.

- You managed to steal the hens.

- I hid in a henhouse.

Should I have left them for the Krauts?

They're good, fat.

They stink.

Smell them, they stink...

of cowardice.

We'll see, who'll prove a coward.

Hey, you... she shows no signs of it.

Should she have it written

on the forehead?

Jurek!

I'm going. Hold the horse.

Ewa... It's war, not an excursion.

So sit down beside me.

You're calling me like a baby.

They're going to laugh at me.

When I was a little girl,

I used to play house.

I organised parties for my dolls.

I'm inviting you to our place,

cadet.

Forget about the war,

uhlans, horses.

How important you are.

Walking, commanding...

I wanted to make a weapon inspection,

for discipline.

They'll think that without officers

they can do what they want.

It's from our wedding reception.

Will you remember

our happy moments?

Despite the war?

We'll come back here some day.

Damn. Planes, take cover!

Don't shoot!

Jerzy!

Jerzy!

They're flying with bombs.

You should be with the troop.

The cadet is still green.

We're here so they don't get

into trouble like the others did.

They're coming!

- Shall we fire at them?

- Don't even try!

Wait for my order!

Germans have surrounded us.

We're going back. This way.

Take the machine gun!

Lieutenant knows what he's doing.

It's easy to lose people,

and more difficult to lead them out.

It's all because of this old mare.

You meet such a pest

and it brings you bad luck.

Death itself rides her.

Shoot her...

and it's all over.

You must understand. It's not my fault.

Prepare to salute!

Fire!

We'll mark it like this.

Hold it.

Cadet...

Jerzy Grabowski... killed

on the day...

- We're setting off soon.

- We have 8 horses and Lotna.
