Our man was brought down
at 2:00 a.m. this morning.

:04:14
SHAEF, in their all-knowing wisdom
didn't let us know until 10:00 a.m.

:04:18
Damned idiots for not letting us know.
:04:21
Double damned idiots
for ignoring our advice in the first place.

:04:25
Anyway, here he is...
:04:28
in a town called Werfen...
:04:30
at the Schloss Adler,
the Castle of the Eagles.

:04:33
And believe me, it's well-named,
because only an eagle can get to it.

:04:38
Our job is to get inside there
and get him out as soon as possible...

:04:42
before they can
get the information from him.

:04:44
How are you so sure that he's there, sir?
:04:47
The Mosquito he was in
crash-landed only 10 miles away.

:04:50
The Schloss Adler is the headquarters...
:04:52
of the German Secret Service
in southern Bavaria.

:04:55
Where else would they take him?
:04:57
-How did the plane crash, sir?
-Through the most damnable ill luck.

:05:00
We carried out a saturation raid
on Nuremberg last night.

:05:03
A German fighter shouldn't have been
within 100 miles of the Austrian border.

:05:07
A wandering
Messerschmitt patrol got him.

:05:10
Anyway, that's not important.
:05:13
What is important is that we get him out
before he talks...

:05:18
or I should say, you get him out.
:05:21
What about paratroops, sir?
:05:23
The Schloss Adler
is inaccessible and impregnable.

:05:27
It would require a battalion
of paratroops to take it.

:05:30
We haven't got the time.
:05:32
Stealth and secrecy are our only hope...
:05:35
and you gentlemen are,
I trust, stealthy and secretive.

:05:38
We realize that you've never
worked together before as a team...

:05:42
but you're familiar with one another,
except for Lt. Schaffer here.

:05:47
You've probably noticed
that Lt. Schaffer...

:05:49
wears the shoulder flashes
of the American Ranger division.

:05:52
I think that speaks for itself.
:05:55
Maj. Smith will lead the group in.
:05:57
You're all expert
at survival behind enemy lines...
