Elements of the 16th Army...
:42:14
...supported by flamethrowers
of the shock troops...

:42:17
...of the Leningrad Division...
:42:19
...are advancing with
mechanized armoured units...

:42:23
...of Stalin's Soviet 6th Brigade...
:42:26
...in an easterly direction,
under massive air cover.

:42:30
Easterly?
:42:32
They're headed the wrong way.
:42:39
It's just a feint...
:42:40
...to throw the Germans off.
:42:42
Exactly.
:42:43
Why would they announce
that on the radio?

:42:46
Strategy.
:42:47
To make the Germans think
they're invading China.

:42:50
Remember, it's a world war.
:42:52
Exactly right.
:42:54
For example...
:42:55
...in Africa, there are
tribes of cannibals...

:42:58
...who've never seen a white man.
:43:00
We don't want news about cannibals.
:43:02
Why not?
:43:03
We want to know if the Russians
are going to get here.

:43:08
Technically, they're retreating.
But strategically, they're advancing.

:43:12
What does that mean?
:43:15
Let me show you.
:43:18
Here is the front line.
:43:21
Here is Bezanika.
The Russians have that.

:43:24
Here's Pry.
The Germans have that.

:43:26
Here is the railroad junction
at the Rudna.

:43:29
That's what the Luftwaffe
were protecting yesterday.

:43:32
Exactly right!
:43:34
Germans don't want
the Americans to take that.

:43:37
The Americans are in the war too?
:43:39
They didn't say they were there.
They have problems of their own.

:43:42
They're fighting on another front.
But for now, they're sending tanks.

:43:47
Tanks? How many?
:43:50
Not many. But enough.
:43:52
And brand-new, right off
the boat from Chicago.

:43:55
Chicago?
:43:57
How could you tell
they were American?
