:10:14
How many vehicles
in the past hour?
:10:16
Fifty-four.
:10:19
And for the same hour yesterday?
:10:21
Ninety-eight.
:10:24
Last week your mother and I
could have captured Holland alone.
:10:29
Already the panic has stopped.
:10:31
It isn't over yet
and those idiots don't realize it.
:10:35
- War takes time.
- Listen to the expert.
:10:39
I was nine when they got here.
:10:41
Next month I'll be 14.
I ought to know something.
:10:48
Father, the Allies will come?
:10:54
But when?
:11:01
I've just got back to England
from Brussels...
:11:04
where I had a meeting this morning
with Field Marshal Montgomery.
:11:08
There was an earlier one
with General Eisenhower.
:11:10
They both feel, as I do...
:11:13
that when the Field Marshal's plan
has succeeded...
:11:16
we should be able
to end the war by Christmas...
:11:19
in less than 100 days.
:11:24
Actually, the plan
is really very simple.
:11:28
We're going to fly 35,000 men 300 miles,
and drop them behind enemy lines.
:11:34
It'll be the largest
airborne operation ever mounted.
:11:41
Quite frankly, this kind of thing's
never been attempted before.
:11:46
- Where's this all going to take place?
- Holland.
:11:49
- And when?
- I'm coming to that now.
:11:53
Right.
:11:57
The ground forces: 30 Corps, commanded
by General Horrocks, 20,000 vehicles.
