:22:01
might be thought by some
to present problems.
:22:04
My God, he can't mean it.
:22:06
I'm afraid he does.
Must know what he's doing.
:22:09
That's more than I know. Why should
he have a corner on the market?
:22:13
...cannot under any stretch
of the imagination be considered ideal.
:22:17
But the gliders will be bringing in
a reconnaissance squadron of jeeps...
:22:21
specially fitted
with twin Vickers machine guns.
:22:25
The instant we land,
they will race ahead to the bridge...
:22:28
and hold it...
:22:30
until the other battalions
arrive on foot.
:22:32
And they'll be quick enough
to secure both ends of Arnhem Bridge?
:22:35
- Most certainly.
- Good.
:22:37
My headquarters will be
in the center with 82nd.
:22:41
Now, just you remember that
we're all totally interlocked.
:22:44
This is a bottom-to-top operation.
:22:46
101st pass 30 Corps
on to 82nd.
:22:49
82nd pass them on
to British Airborne.
:22:53
If any one group fails,
it's total failure for us all.
:22:58
All we need now
are three days of clear skies.
:23:02
Thank you, gentlemen,
very much.
:23:06
Only the weather
can stop us now.
:23:09
Weather! Cristos!
:23:15
What of the Germans?
Don't you think that since we know...
:23:19
that Arnhem is so crucial to their
safety, they might know that too?
:23:22
Now look here.
:23:23
The few troops
in the area are...
:23:27
second class.
:23:29
They're not front-line caliber.
:23:31
Not at all.
Do you understand?
:23:34
You ought to have more faith
in Montgomery's intelligence reports.
:23:37
He's done pretty well for us
in the last three or four years.
:23:40
I will tell you
the extent of my faith.
:23:44
I'm thinking of asking
for a letter from you...
:23:46
stating that I was forced
to act on your orders...
:23:49
in case my men are massacred.
:23:53
I see.
:23:56
Yes, I do see.
