:08:01
You may begin.
:08:02
May I first be permitted to say,
and I think I speak for all of us...

:08:06
how pleased we are,
Field Marshal Von Rundstedt...

:08:09
that you have been reappointed
commander of our forces in the West.

:08:12
Speeches are for
victory celebrations.

:08:15
Let's get to the point.
Air power?

:08:18
Air power, Field Marshal?
:08:20
Briefly, please.
:08:23
- Air power is minimal.
- Ammunition?

:08:26
Also minimal.
:08:27
Tanks... Troops...
Replacements?

:08:29
- Minimal.
- Morale?

:08:42
Nonexistent.
:08:46
What do you think
we should do?

:08:49
End the war, you fools.
:08:53
- Why in the world are you laughing?
- Excuse us.

:08:56
We have such confidence in you.
:08:58
Everyone knows you have
never lost a battle.

:09:02
I'm still young.
Give me time.

:09:09
The first thing we must do...
:09:12
is to turn this rabble
into something like an army.

:09:20
Anything at all on when
they plan to invade Holland?

:09:25
They seem to have
paused in Belgium.

:09:27
Most likely supply problems.
:09:30
Otherwise we can't imagine why.
:09:35
I think it's because
we're retreating...

:09:40
faster than they can advance.
