:19:06
You were to have been
:19:07
10 kilometers west of
Ambleve by this hour.
:19:10
Why are you still here?
:19:11
My first attack failed.
I must take Ambleve.
:19:15
We are wasting time.
:19:16
Time, Hessler, you don't have much.
:19:19
Ambleve is an isolated
pocket of resistance.
:19:21
Go around it.
:19:22
We have surrounded and
bypassed bastogne. Do the same!
:19:25
General, it will be dark in one hour.
:19:29
I want your permission for a
night assault with all my armor.
:19:34
Colonel Hessler, you are to
break off this engagement
:19:37
And proceed with your
mission. That's an order!
:19:40
Yes sir.
:19:43
General, before you go.
:19:44
May I show you something?
:19:46
What is it?
:19:52
A chocolate cake.
:19:55
Well?
:19:57
It was taken from
a captured American private.
:19:59
Still fresh.
:20:01
If you look at the wrapping,
General,
:20:03
You will see it comes from boston.
:20:06
And?
:20:09
General, do you realize what
this means?
:20:12
It means that the Americans
have fuel and plans
:20:15
To fly cake across the atlantic ocean.
:20:19
They have no conception of defeat.
:20:23
We have the opportunity here
:20:25
To break their morale,
:20:27
To destroy their will to fight.
:20:30
That is why you must permit me
:20:31
To reduce Ambleve to ashes.
:20:45
You have...
:20:47
Until 0400.
:20:50
That is all.
