- to the special jeep squadron?
- Not as far as we know.

1:04:03
At the moment we're unable to contact
any of the units moving into Arnhem.

1:04:09
Not a very satisfactory
state of affairs.

1:04:13
We can't quite understand it.
It's perfectly good equipment.

1:04:17
Then for God's sake,
get it sorted out...

1:04:19
before we have a bloody disaster
on our hands.

1:04:33
Sir.
1:04:37
Hancock...
1:04:39
I've got lunatics
laughing at me from the woods.

1:04:42
My original plan has been scuppered
now that the jeeps haven't arrived.

1:04:46
My communications
have completely broken down.

1:04:50
Do you really believe
that any of that can be helped...

1:04:53
by a cup of tea?
1:04:57
Couldn't hurt, sir.
1:05:14
Forgive me for returning,
Field Marshal.

1:05:16
I must press for permission...
1:05:18
if it becomes necessary...
1:05:21
to blow up the bridges
at Arnhem and Nijmegen.

1:05:26
That is out of the question.
1:05:28
Never.
Is that clear?

1:05:30
We need them
for our counterattack.

1:05:32
Counterattack?
With what?

1:05:35
Paratroopers cannot fight long.
They are too lightly equipped.

1:05:38
Isolated they are lost.
1:05:40
I have spoken
to Von Rundstedt.

1:05:43
All reinforcements
come to us first.

1:05:46
Every hour we get stronger
and they grow weaker.

1:05:50
- But if we blow the bridges--
- They don't want the bridges.

1:05:54
Do you really think
if they wanted the bridges...

1:05:57
they would have landed
12 kilometers away?
