The 12th Man Page #3

---

We have searched

every farm and house.

We have spoken with every person

who could have known anything.

God bless our dear fatherland

And let it like a garden bloom

Call down your peace

from mountains...

Delays are not appreciated

in Berlin.

Want to go to the Eastern Front?

Himmler will read that report.

And what Himmler reads,

Hitler reads.

You don't want to lie to Hitler,

do you?

As faithful...

I've been told I can trust you.

We've been expecting you.

Jan Baalsrud.

We're almost there.

- Good.

- Here. Size 42.

How did you know?

A tiny fellow like you?

They were the smallest I could find.

Thank you.

Peder.

Peder.

Here, take this backpack.

Some food and extra clothes

for your trip.

You need to hide your uniform

when you get to Lyngseidet.

- And here are my skis.

- I can't take your skis.

I can't keep them.

I'd never forgive myself.

Okay.

Let's go over the plan again.

- I'm going to Sweden.

- Right.

Then to England.

Then change socks.

And come right back here.

Okay.

Look at this.

Here is Lyngseidet.

It's an important hub.

Full of Germans.

But you can't get around it.

The mountains are too steep

on both sides.

They're mostly searching

along the coast.

They won't expect to see you

in Lyngseidet.

Look.

That is Kurt Stage.

He heads the Gestapo up here.

We think he knows you're alive.

They say no one

has escaped him before.

So for him, this is personal.

He'll never let a saboteur

like you get away.

If you make it over to Sweden,

it will be a crushing defeat for him.

Type this up and send it

to Berlin immediately.

Yes, sir.

- Heil Hitler!

- Heil Hitler.

Excellent.

- Thank you.

- Sure.

This is as close as we can get.

I can wade ashore.

You'd never get dry again.

You'd die.

Give me those skis.

Now you.

No.

Come on.

Wait. There.

Now you look like

a real Northerner.

There's a boat waiting

on the other side.

Just leave it adrift.

So no one knows

where you go ashore.

Once you cross the mountain

you'll reach the border.

If the weather holds up,

it should take two or three days.

At least you have skis now.

So you stand a chance.

Good luck.

To the commander in chief

of the SS and police in Norway.

Provisional report

on the sabotage cutter Brattholm.

On March 29, 1943,

units from the Navy and Abwehr

detained a fishing boat

with Norwegian saboteurs

who had been trained

in Great Britain.

There were twelve saboteurs

on board.

Ten were arrested and interrogated.

And according to the Fhrer's orders

of October 18,

they were promptly executed.

One saboteur was killed on site.

The final man was last observed

swimming in a Norwegian fjord.
