Raid on Rommel Page #4

Let's attack!

Fork to the left, the sea and Derna.

Our Tobruk road lies straight ahead.

Suspicious, our standing here, sir.

- Yeah.

Your other German-speaking man?

- Garth. - He rides in the rear.

You come along with me.

Shall I take care of her, sir?

- No, she's in the clearance papers.

You said she's my responsibility.

Well, I've got something.

Too late for that. - I'm a doctor.

She'll be taken care of.

What's the problem?

The Italian lady. Where is she?

- She's there.

Corporal!

She belongs to one of

Mussolini's generals. Understand?

Yes...

We'll take the road to the sea.

- No, that area is off-limits.

You'll continue on to Tobruk.

- We'll camp here. - That's allowed.

Park there.

Park there!

When I suggested we attack the Jerrys

I was venturing a little joke.

Two Panzer divisions...

I don't understand that.

Maybe Rommel's waiting for the right

time. - Rommel waits for nothing.

They might have come from Derna.

No, that's the 11th and 21st Division.

Reps camp! Parts. Repair shop.

- They could do that in the field.

Fuel!

Rommel must have a fuel dump nearby.

Heavily camouflaged.

- Underground? - Where?

A Panzer division without fuel is

scrap. If we could immobilize two...

But it's all... You've got no radio.

No way of communicating...

Communicating?

How you do go on, Doctor.

If I locate the bastards

I'll blow them sky high.

Maximum security installation.

How do we get in?

If you get past the road block

you can ask Rommel.

Doctor...

Ipecac! That would get us through.

We'd give it to some of the boys...

You've gone crazy. - The Germans will

go crazy when they think it's typhus.

You can't fake typhus! - We can

fake it enough to get us through.

I'll get a couple of the lads.

How's our little darlin', then, eh?

You're a devil, Merrihew!

When the war's over, you ought to

go into white slavery. With me.

How do you feel?

- Christ, bleedin' awful!

Good.

I'll take these prisoners to Tobruk.

The Doctor says it's contagious.

They must go to hospital.

We have two prisoners with typhus.

They are very ill.

Yes. He wants to talk to the Doctor.

- He doesn't speak German.

The English Doctor

says it's contagious

and we must go to the hospital.

Hauptmann Schroeder,

ask the doctor to make a smear test.

Test it.

Rommel.

Doctor...

How is the pain?

- Better, General.

Feeling better?

- Yes, thank you.

This is the captured English doctor

with his sick men.

May I translate for you?

Not necessary. Good of you to help.

Do you really believe it's typhus?

We're making tests, but let's hope

it's something less serious.

You are being well-treated?

- Very well.

Despite the circumstances,
