considered by some
to be smart.

:14:04
If that is so...
:14:05
it makes me member
of a true minority group.

:14:09
Minority groups
are more comfortable in silence.

:14:13
I should have thought the opposite
was true. But you do disapprove?

:14:17
I am thrilled that your great Field
Marshal Montgomery has devised a plan.

:14:21
I promise you, I'll be
properly ecstatic if it works.

:14:24
When it works.
:14:25
Of course.
When it works.

:14:28
Thank you.
:14:31
Well, now let's
get down to the details.

:14:35
First we shall have to have--
:14:37
From which direction will their
attack come, and who will command?

:14:40
Montgomery or Patton?
:14:44
- Model, what do you think?
- Patton.

:14:47
He is their best.
:14:49
Patton will lead the assault.
:14:52
I would prefer Montgomery...
:14:55
but even Eisenhower
isn't that stupid.

:15:01
Bittrich's panzer troops
need some rest...

:15:04
if they're to stop Patton.
:15:07
We should pull them back
somewhere safe.

:15:12
Safe, quiet, out of the way.
But where?

:15:16
Arnhem?
:15:22
Arnhem.
:15:24
- I'll be in touch.
- That'll be fine.

:15:31
Why the emergency meeting?
:15:33
- Keeping abreast of the little changes.
- How big are the little changes?

:15:37
I'll answer you with typical
British understatement: gigantic.

:15:41
They can't get us
all in at once.

:15:43
Too many men, too much equipment,
not enough planes.

:15:45
It's going to take three days to get the
men into Arnhem, Poles and the British.

:15:50
- How about us?
- We'll be all right.

:15:52
Aside from the fact that we'll parachute
in daylight, we have no worries.

:15:56
Daylight?
:15:58
- Has it ever been tried before?
- Not in a major drop.
