Where Eagles Dare Page #6

Synopsis: During WW2 a British aircraft is shot down and crashes in Nazi held territory. The Germans capture the only survivor, an American General, and take him to the nearest SS headquarters. Unknown to the Germans the General has full knowledge of the D-Day operation. The British decide that the General must not be allowed to divulge any details of the Normandy landing at all cost and order Major John Smith to lead a crack commando team to rescue him. Amongst the team is an American Ranger, Lieutenant Schaffer, who is puzzled by his inclusion in an all British operation. When one of the team dies after the parachute drop, Schaffer suspects that Smith's mission has a much more secret objective.

Major Von Hapen.

My cousin Maria Schenk.

Your cousin told us to expect you,

FruIein Schenk, but Heidi...

...you did not tell me

she was as beautiful as this.

Thank you.

Perhaps when you're ready

to take the cable car to the castle...

-...I'll have the honor to escort you.

MARY:
Thank you.

And I am going with her.

Oh.

Both ofyou, huh?

Well, then l am very fortunate.

[SPEAKS IN GERMAN]

FruIein, until a little bit later.

This is a map ofthe castle.

And your instructions.

Do your homework well.

[MAN SHOUTlNG IN GERMAN]

He doesn't seem to be anywhere in here.

Wonder where the devil he's got to.

I gave orders that nobody should leave.

Shall I go outside and take a look?

[WHISTLE BLOWING]

MAN:

Attention. Nobody make a move.

Against the wall, please.

Against the wall.

Attention.

We are looking for four orfive

Alpenkorps deserters from Stuttgart.

To escape, they killed two officers

and a guardroom sergeant.

They were last known

to be heading this way.

Clever. Very clever, indeed.

I want the senior officers of Drafts 13,

14 and 15 to come forward at once.

Check their papers.

Well, gentlemen, any suggestions?

Lieutenant?

Well, I think we'll stand a lot better chance

outside than we will in here.

Agreed.

Gentlemen, see you after the war.

These papers are from the Fourth Panzer

Division stationed in Stuttgart.

When were they issued to him?

-CoIonel.

-What is it, major?

Myself and the others are the ones you're

looking for. We've come to surrender.

Lieutenant, take the three men away

for questioning.

The officers will come with me.

Excuse me.

[RINGS]

-Yes?

-Major Von Hapen.

Yes, sir.

FruIein.

[SPEAKS IN GERMAN]

It'sjust my shoelaces.

[GRUNTING]

[RAPlD GUNFIRE]

[SCREAMS]

-Need to get rid ofthis thing.

-Yeah.

Over the cliff. Let's push.

Okay. Push.

Push.

And a little more.

Good evening, lieutenant.

This is Miss Schenk. Lieutenant Kernitser.

She is the colonel's secretary

in charge of all the female staff.

Can l see your papers, please?

And yours, Frulein.

Would you come with me, please?

-Perhaps I'll see you a little later.

-Thank you.

[DOOR OPENS]

Do you find anything interesting, major?

I hear there was some excitement

in the village tonight.

Oh, nothing very serious.

Just the arrest offive army deserters,

that's all.

Not quite. Those were the orders

that were put out.

But actually, they were five British agents

dressed in German uniforms.

British agents? Why wasn't I informed?

I'm informing you now, major.

Ifyou sent out the orders, colonel...

...then you must have known

for some time...

...who they were

and that they were in this district.

We called you in your office
