:42:02
You must do something about the civilian
traffic. We can't get our work done.
:42:07
This is Captain Baumann,
Chief Engineering Officer. Major Kreuger.
:42:10
I'm glad you're here. If we don't clear
the bridge, we'll never be ready to blow it.
:42:15
The most immediate problem is not
to blow the bridge up but to keep it open.
:42:19
Excuse me, but is it not true the Führer
has ordered the bridge destroyed?
:42:24
Does the Führer transmit
his orders directly to you,
:42:27
or are you simply spreading idle gossip?
:42:30
But I understood...
:42:32
At this moment, Baumann, a loose tongue
is our most dangerous enemy.
:42:36
Surely you know the penalty
for spreading defeatist rumours?
:42:39
Please sit down, Captain Schmidt.
:42:43
Baumann, you stay.
:42:47
Will you brief me on the condition
of all of the units at our disposal?
:42:52
The regular company,
is it fit for instant duty?
:42:55
But there is no regular company.
:42:58
I don't understand.
:43:00
It's been transferred.
:43:03
Oh.
:43:04
The reserve company,
is it fully equipped?
:43:07
It no longer exists.
:43:09
And the 600 Polish and Russian
volunteers, can we count on them?
:43:13
The so-called volunteers have vanished.
:43:18
Captain Schmidt, on paper at least,
you have some 1600 men.
:43:23
How many, in fact, do you have?
:43:26
About... 200.
:43:29
Including the bridge detail.
:43:33
And the 400 militia,
the Volkssturm, the Hitler Youth?
:43:38
A handful.
:43:40
- Where are the others?
- Deserted.
:43:43
Herr Hauptmann, do you realise
what you are saying is treason?
:43:48
No, Herr Major. Only the truth.
:43:57
Yes?
:43:59
General von Brock
is temporarily unavailable.
