and they're ready
by the thousands.

:10:03
Why don't they use them?
Fuel.

:10:06
Without special fuel,
these rockets are so much scrap.

:10:09
Now we come to why
Lieutenant Bergman is here.

:10:12
He's one of the leaders
of the Norwegian Linge...

:10:15
the resistance.
:10:16
They have discovered
the location...

:10:18
of the only factory
the Nazis have at present...

:10:21
which can make fuel
for these rockets.

:10:23
It's at a fjord
just north of Bergen.

:10:27
Bergen. Here's the fjord.
:10:29
It's called
the Swartsfjord...

:10:30
the Black Water fjord.
:10:33
As to the exact location
of the factory...

:10:36
I'll let Lieutenant Bergman
tell you.

:10:41
First, I must explain
that the factory itself...

:10:44
is not the target.
:10:45
It's not the target?
:10:47
The factory is bomb-proof
and sheltered by a huge cliff.

:10:51
Then what do we bomb?
:10:53
The mountain.
:10:55
You'll blow away
the whole overhanging cliff...

:10:57
so that it buries the factory.
:10:59
I should explain why
you cannot bomb from above.

:11:01
We brought in geologists
to study this mountain.

:11:05
There is a fissure
underneath the overhang.

:11:07
If you explode from below,
the overhanging cliff...

:11:09
will come down, we hope.
:11:12
The only way
to get into position...

:11:13
is to fly up the fjord
at about 200 feet.

:11:16
The Huns have flak posts
at the mouth of the fjord.

:11:19
At 200 feet,
you'll be blown to hell...

:11:22
which brings me back
to Bergman.

:11:23
At an exact hour on M-Day,
the day of our mission...

:11:27
Bergman and his men
will neutralize the flak posts.

:11:31
If all goes well...
:11:33
you should have
a clear run up the fjord.

:11:36
If all goes well.
:11:38
The factory will be
shipping fuel in 18 days.

:11:42
Your special bombs
will be ready in 17.

:11:46
Today is "M" minus 17.
:11:52
Your orders are to obliterate
the target at whatever cost.
