And this, as you know,
is the German front line.

:12:05
Now we're going to lay a carpet,
as it were, of airborne troops...

:12:09
over which 30th Corps can pass.
:12:12
We shall seize the bridges--
it's all a question of bridges--

:12:15
with thunderclap surprise...
:12:18
and hold them until
they can be secured.

:12:21
Now first of all,
General Maxwell Taylor...

:12:26
Eindhoven.
:12:28
You take and hold
the bridges there with 101st.

:12:33
General Gavin,
with your 82nd...

:12:37
you get Nijmegen.
:12:39
You take and hold the bridges.
:12:41
And Roy, you get the prize:
Arnhem.

:12:44
Arnhem Bridge.
:12:47
- And you hold it.
- For how long?

:12:51
Monty assures me that 30 Corps...
:12:53
will do the 63 miles
in two days.

:12:59
Sixty-three miles in two days.
:13:01
- They oughta be able to handle that.
- Oh, I'm sorry.

:13:04
General Sosabowski, you go with
your Polish Brigade with Roy Urquhart.

:13:08
I'm so sorry.
:13:11
Roy...
:13:14
when you've secured
your bridge...

:13:16
and 30th Corps have got across it,
we can turn east...

:13:20
right into the industrial heart
of Germany-- the Ruhr.

:13:24
Once we control their factories,
there's not much they can do about it.

:13:27
And that is the plan.
:13:30
And we go next Sunday.
:13:32
Seven days?
:13:34
Why not?
The sooner we go, the better.

:13:37
We've got them on the run.
:13:42
Is something troubling you,
General Sosabowski?

:13:46
- I've said nothing.
- Precisely.

:13:49
Your silences are thunderous.
:13:55
General Browning, l--
:13:58
I am a Pole...
