You still didn't answer the question! How'd you figure 30 or 40 men?īecause that's the normal amount of support for three Tiger tanks. Well, it's of no military importance, it's not big enough for a garrison. Well, I figure there's between 30 and 40 troops in that town. Better yet, I think I'm crazy! How the hell I ever let you talk the guys into this?! Push 30 miles behind enemy lines, take a bridge held by the Germans and then go into a town we don't know how many German soldiers are guarding! You know something, Kelly? I think you're crazy. Oh! Well, how about the German Army? Do you think they'd mind us crossing their bridge there, eh, Kelly? Now, all we have to do is be there tomorrow morning at dawn and we got ourselves a bridge. Uh-uh, intelligence reports the Air Corps knocking 'em out by day and the Germans rebuilding 'em at night. The Air Corps knocked every bridge out of that river months ago. Well, there's a bridge right here, six miles out.

You're doing such a good job, Sergeant- why should I get in your way?Īccording to this map, we got a river to cross before we get into this town of yours.

You're supposed to be in charge of this outfit! There’s a couple of German divisions who say you can't.Īll I need is to figure out how to get this yacht out of here. We even got a guide! All we have to do is get in there! Look, Captain! We got it all figured out. Babra says there's a company of Germans pushing up the road! We're point section to the whole damn Army! Nancy's our town, Captain! Think I could get this into the hold of a B-17? I'm aware that that situation might be developing.

Look, Captain! You can't let them do this! I gotta get my men some broads they start freaking-out with each other! The General says we pull out, so we pull out. “I’m aware of that problem.” You've been aware of that problem ever since we got out of the water at Omaha! Look, why is it that every time we get to a town like Nancy, it’s these clowns with the clean uniforms and ties that get to ride the trucks into town and make their pitch? mortared on by Mulligan all the way from the Normandy beachhead! Look, Captain, we've been rained on, pushed on, bombed on.

great restaurants, feather beds in rooms with hot water. Once they take Nancy, we go back into the line.Īw, Captain, I don't think you have the welfare of your men at heart here! This is a big, big town, with a lot of with a lot of passionate broads. We're pulling out and I want to see if this yacht is worth taking back to base.
