torched the entire town, and sent

60 civilians to concentration camps.

So I don't know if "successful"

is the right word.

Come here!

We haven't won a single town

since we pulled out of Narvik.

That was 18 months ago. The Allies

have suffered defeat everywhere.

The Germans are right outside Moscow,

and London is practically bombed to hell.

It's only a matter of time, Manus,

before we'll all have to learn German.

But those who are here,

have decided to fight no matter what.

Have a seat. The odds of survival

in my company are minimal.

Everyone here is either stupid or crazy.

So if you are crazy or stupid,

you are most welcome.

You are stupid.

Welcome to our company! I look

forward to working with you, Manus.

Report to Corporal Gram.

- Corporal Gram?

- He will show you around.

Without the support of the locals,

we stand no chance.

That is a big problem.

And if the locals don't trust us,

they won't be able to forgive...

Excuse me.

- Second Lieutenant.

- Corporal and instructor already?

Hang on. Write 2,000 words

about...propaganda. OK?

I heard about your escape from Ullevl.

You're quite the hero.

No, don't help me.

How hard can this be?

Out the window, and you're...

Fine, help me. Help me!

- Have you heard from Kolbein?

- He's at Grini Prison Camp.

He's head of his unit. He helped

some prisoners escape recently.

Helped? Didn't he get out?

He unlocked all the doors, and when the

last man was out, he locked himself in.

- What? Why?

- He felt guilty.

Felt the resistance work inside the prison

was too important to run away from.

What a character!

You don't take it seriously.

I don't want to get caught

for making newspapers.

Propaganda is much more

than newspapers.

It's about encouraging resistance

among the civilians.

And it creates national unity.

We can create national unity by blowing

up everything German on Norwegian soil.

OK...

There! That should do it.

- Next time.

- And you'll call yourself a teacher?

Yes, of propaganda.

Aren't we going?

- Why not?

- You get to go.

- I don't.

- Nonsense!

- Have you talked to Linge about this?

- No, I can't find him. He isn't here.

Is this too much to ask?

Close contact with Norwegian nature,

I see?

- What about the containers?

- I've located 3 of them.

Make that 4.

- Want a sip?

- Yes, please.

Thank you! Oslo Harbour.

50 guards at night, 200 during the day.

Why don't we have

Norwegian flags on our uniforms?

- Not yet.

- When?

When we have won the war.

Are you ready?

- Yes.

- Good.

Our targets are the Ortelsburg,

3,000 tons, Von Knipprode, 7,000 tons,

and Tuguela, 5,000 tons.

Sigurd is our insider at Aker Wharf.
