MAN:
All ready here, sir. Crew standing byand awaiting your word. Over.
Right. Over and out.
[SIREN WAILlNG]
MAN :
Our man was brought downat 2 a.m. this morning.
SHAEF, in their all-knowing wisdom,
didn't let us know until 10 a.m.
Damned idiots.
Damned idiots for not letting us know.
DoubIe damned idiots
for ignoring our advice in the first place.
Anyway, here he is...
...in a town called Werfen...
...at the Schloss AdIer,
And believe me, it's well-named,
because only an eagle can get to it.
Ourjob is to get inside there
and get him out as soon as possible...
...before they can
get the information from him.
How are you so sure that he's there, sir?
The Mosquito he was in
crash-landed only 10 miles away.
The Schloss Adler is the headquarters ofthe
German secret service in southern Bavaria.
Where eIse would they take him?
-How did the plane crash, sir?
-Through the most damnable ill luck.
We carried out a saturation raid
on Nuremberg last night.
There shouldn't have been a German fighter
within 100 miles ofthe Austrian border.
A wandering Messerschmitt patrol
got him.
Anyway, that's not important.
What is important is that
we get him out before he talks.
Or I should say, you get him out.
What about paratroops, sir?
The Schloss Adler
is inaccessible and impregnable.
of paratroops to take it.
We haven't got the time.
SteaIth and secrecy are our only hope...
...and you gentlemen are,
I trust, stealthy and secretive.
We realize of course that you've never
worked together before as a team...
...but you're familiarwith one another,
except for Lieutenant Schaffer here.
You probably noticed
that Lieutenant Schaffer...
...wears the shoulderflashes
ofthe American Ranger division.
I think that speaks for itself.
Major Smith wiIl lead the group in.
Now, you're alI expert
at survival behind enemy lines.
Smith, Lieutenant Schaffer...
...Sergeants Harrod and MacPherson
in their military capacities...
...the rest ofyou in other duties.
You've been trained
If anybody has a chance
of getting him out, you have.
There is, of course, another way, sir.
A way with a 100 percent guarantee
of success.
NeitherAdmiral Rolland or I
claim to be omniscient or infallible.
Is there an alternative that we've missed?
Whistle up a pathfinder squadron
of Lancasters with 10-ton bombs.
I don't think anybody in that castle
would ever talk again.
Nor do I think that you grasp
the realities ofthe situation.
The captured man, General Carnaby,
is an American.
Ifwe were to destroy him,
then l think General Eisenhower...
...might launch his second front against us
rather than against the Germans.
There are certain niceties to be observed
in our relationship with our allies.
Very well, then, gentlemen.
Ten o'clock tonight at the airfield.
-No more questions, I take it?
-Yes, sir.
Begging the colonel's pardon, sir.
What's aIl this about?
I mean, why is this man
so damned important?
-Why should--?
-That'll do, sergeant.
You have alI the information you require.
to what may be his death...
...he has a right to know why.
It's painfully simple, sergeant.
General Carnaby is one
ofthe overall coordinators...
...of planning for the second front.
He set out last night to meet
his opposite numbers in the Middle East...
...to finalize the plans
for the invasion of Europe.
The rendezvous with the Russians
was to have been in Crete.
Now, unfortunately, his plane
