1:48:07
We're behind the lines,
but we know how to honour the soldier...
1:48:11
who goes on in spite
of blood and death.
1:48:13
Gentlemen, my son.
1:48:16
- Prosit.
- Prosit.
1:48:21
I'm glad to know you, young man,
I am glad to know you.
1:48:25
How are things out there?
Terrible, eh? Terrible.
1:48:29
But we must carry on.
1:48:33
After all, you do at least
get decent food out there.
1:48:37
Naturally, it's worse here.
Naturally.
1:48:40
But the best for our soldiers
all the time. That's our motto.
1:48:45
- The best for our soldiers.
- (Murmurs Of Agreement)
1:48:48
But...
(Chuckles)
1:48:51
- You must give the Frenchies
a good licking!
- (All Laughing)
1:48:57
And, if you boys
want to come home, eh...
1:49:02
let me show you what you must do
before you can come home.
1:49:08
Give us a hand there, men.
1:49:10
Now, then, there's the line.
1:49:14
Runs so, in a "V".
1:49:17
Here is St Quentin.
You can see for yourself.
1:49:20
You're almost through now.
All right?
1:49:22
Shove ahead out there and don't stick
to that everlasting trench warfare!
1:49:27
Smash through the johnnies!
And then you will have peace.
1:49:32
When you get in it... the war isn't
the way it looks back here.
1:49:36
Oh! You don't know
anything about it.
1:49:39
Of course, you know
about the details...
1:49:41
but this relates to the whole!
1:49:44
You can't judge that.
1:49:46
Of course, you do your duty
and you risk your life.
1:49:50
But for that, you receive
the highest honour.
1:49:54
I said that every man in the war
ought to have the Iron Cross.
1:49:57
First, the enemy lines
must be broken through in Flanders.
