Some more recruits, Lieutenant.
18
00:04:23,760 -- 00:04:25,796
-Private Lieberman?
-Present.
19
00:04:26,120 -- 00:04:28,236
Private Pospchal, Sir!
20
00:04:30,760 -- 00:04:33,991
Orders are that you are assigned
to 1st squad of 2nd platoon.
21
00:04:34,320 -- 00:04:38,108
Your commander is Sergeant Born
Corporal Kohk here is his deputy.
22
00:04:38,440 -- 00:04:40,237
Any questions?
23
00:04:40,880 -- 00:04:42,677
Corporal?!
24
00:04:44,160 -- 00:04:45,673
Squad, attention!
25
00:04:46,080 -- 00:04:49,789
To the camp -straight ahead
distance fifty metres at the double
26
00:04:50,120 -- 00:04:51,917
advance!
27
00:05:28,680 -- 00:05:32,229
You two! Didn't you hear
the dinner call?!
28
00:05:32,560 -- 00:05:34,118
Pospchal - here!
29
00:05:34,440 -- 00:05:36,237
Jew boy - there!
30
00:05:56,720 -- 00:05:58,517
Let's go.
31
00:06:34,280 -- 00:06:37,670
They think we'll eat anything.
The food is fucking shit.
32
00:06:38,000 -- 00:06:40,070
You know what that means, gents?
33
00:06:40,400 -- 00:06:43,676
-That you're not forced to eat it.
-lt means we're stuck here.
34
00:06:44,000 -- 00:06:46,560
The whole battalion's supposed
to moving to the front soon.
35
00:06:46,880 -- 00:06:50,111
They'd be stuffing us with chops
if we were.
36
00:06:50,440 -- 00:06:51,953
Very funny.
37
00:06:52,280 -- 00:06:55,670
Well, well, the new boys.
Welcome to First Squad, gents.
38
00:06:56,000 -- 00:06:58,673
The best squad from the
Euphrates to Benghazi.
39
00:06:59,000 -- 00:07:02,470
-The name's Ro~i
ka, call me Ro~a.
-Pospchal. George. -John Lieberman.
40
00:07:02,800 -- 00:07:04,153
Gents.
41
00:07:04,480 -- 00:07:07,552
lt was that pock-faced pen-pusher
at HQ who told me.
42
00:07:07,880 -- 00:07:10,394
-That's just the usual gossip.
-Bollocks.
43
00:07:10,720 -- 00:07:13,109
The pen-pusher at HQ wouldn't know
where to look for sand.
44
00:07:13,440 -- 00:07:16,034
l wouldn't be surprised
if the war was over
45
00:07:16,360 -- 00:07:18,999
and they'd forgotten to tell us...
46
00:07:31,640 -- 00:07:33,437
Present arms!
47
00:08:33,320 -- 00:08:35,515
First squad, on your feet!
48
00:08:36,400 -- 00:08:38,516
Move it, move it, move it!
49
00:08:39,600 -- 00:08:41,511
Got a problem, Lieberman?
50
00:08:41,840 -- 00:08:43,637
On your feet!
51
00:08:51,600 -- 00:08:53,397
Private Kutina!
52
00:08:54,680 -- 00:08:58,992
A Czechoslovak soldier will not
behave like that! Got me?!
53
00:09:26,120 -- 00:09:29,795
We'll carry him up the hill!
Just say the word!
54
00:09:30,120 -- 00:09:32,588
Mind your own business, shitheads!
55
00:09:32,920 -- 00:09:35,195
That's all we needed,
fucking Jewboy.
56
00:09:35,520 -- 00:09:36,999
Shut your fucking gob.
57
00:09:37,320 -- 00:09:39,117
Advance!
58
00:10:13,480 -- 00:10:15,550
What wouldn't l give to be showering
59
00:10:15,880 -- 00:10:19,873
with some wench right now.
l'd grab her like this...
60
00:10:20,200 -- 00:10:22,430
Do you ever stop thinking
about birds, mate?
61
00:10:22,760 -- 00:10:26,594
Can you think of anything better?
62
00:10:29,680 -- 00:10:34,276
What do you reckon, Lieberman?
Ever dipped your wick?
63
00:10:40,320 -- 00:10:42,436
You should have
seen me before the war
64
00:10:42,760 -- 00:10:44,432
when l was working in that hotel.
65
00:10:44,760 -- 00:10:46,830
Know how many
women l had there?
66
00:10:47,160 -- 00:10:48,957
Bollocks...
67
00:10:49,320 -- 00:10:52,915
The bigwigs were at their meetings,
and their wifikins were with me...
68
00:10:53,240 -- 00:10:55,879
lt's hard when a feller's
without a woman...
69
00:10:56,200 -- 00:10:59,795
First it affects his brain
and then his vocal chords,
70
00:11:00,120 -- 00:11:02,076
and then he can't
stop talking crap...
71
00:11:02,400 -- 00:11:05,915
Know what? Kiss my arse!
72
00:11:32,000 -- 00:11:35,959
You know what the Arabs say?
73
00:11:36,880 -- 00:11:40,714
That if a sandstorm lasts
for more than five days,
74
00:11:41,040 -- 00:11:43,918
you have the right
to kill your wife.
75
00:11:44,240 -- 00:11:48,233
ln other words, you've
the right to go bonkers.
76
00:11:49,640 -- 00:11:51,437
Good'n, eh?
77
00:11:55,440 -- 00:11:59,149
They're not such arseholes
as they look...
78
00:12:06,360 -- 00:12:08,157
Prone position!
79
00:12:09,200 -- 00:12:10,599
Load!
80
00:12:10,920 -- 00:12:12,717
Fire!
81
00:12:39,520 -- 00:12:41,715
Maybe you're doing it
on purpose, Lieberman.
82
00:12:42,040 -- 00:12:44,076
lt's always the way
with your people.
83
00:12:44,400 -- 00:12:48,598
Perhaps you'd sooner be
sitting at a typewriter!
84
00:12:52,080 -- 00:12:53,798
You're in the front line, you prat!
85
00:12:54,120 -- 00:12:57,112
And in the front line
you never remove your helmet!
86
00:12:57,440 -- 00:13:00,034
He came from the Foreign Legion.
87
00:13:00,800 -- 00:13:05,396
Take my advice and, watch out
for him. He's a bastard.
88
00:13:19,560 -- 00:13:22,916
The grass is full of flowers blue,
89
00:13:23,480 -- 00:13:26,790
My sweetheart l must leave you,
90
00:13:27,560 -- 00:13:29,437
The hills re-echo with the call,
91
00:13:29,760 -- 00:13:31,637
To the colours we must all.
92
00:13:43,000 -- 00:13:46,117
What's this? Boiled camel's hump?
93
00:13:46,440 -- 00:13:49,910
-At least we've got tomorrow off.
-You've forgotten it's sports day?
94
00:13:50,240 -- 00:13:52,356
l've got a leave pass.
Sports day can kiss my arse.
95
00:13:52,680 -- 00:13:56,309
l'm on the list too. But l've got no
money left from last pay day.
96
00:13:56,640 -- 00:13:59,518
Did you know that if you cop a dose
in a private whorehouse,
97
00:13:59,840 -- 00:14:01,956
you have to pay
for the treatment yourself?
98
00:14:02,280 -- 00:14:04,350
-East, West, camp's best.
-They should raise our pay.
99
00:14:04,680 -- 00:14:07,035
l'll lend you some cash.
You only have to ask.
100
00:14:07,360 -- 00:14:10,830
-Who he'll thrash this time?
-Who? -Kohk.
101
00:14:11,160 -- 00:14:14,789
There's boxing tomorrow. He always
wipes the floor with someone.
102
00:14:15,120 -- 00:14:18,078
-He's a bastard.
-Listen, you berks...
103
00:14:18,400 -- 00:14:20,436
lf anyone brings him down,
104
00:14:20,840 -- 00:14:24,549
l'll clean his boots
with my own bare hands.
105
00:16:30,760 -- 00:16:32,557
Give it here.. .
106
00:17:13,080 -- 00:17:17,471
He really went over the top,
the fucking bastard...
107
00:17:58,840 -- 00:18:02,549
Because he hath set his love upon
me, therefore will l deliver him:
108
00:18:02,880 -- 00:18:06,555
l will set him on high,
because he hath known my name.
109
00:18:06,880 -- 00:18:09,189
He shall call upon me,
and l will answer him:
110
00:18:09,520 -- 00:18:14,389
l will be with him in trouble;
l will deliver him, and honour him.
111
00:18:14,720 -- 00:18:17,154
With long life will l satisfy him.
112
00:18:20,440 -- 00:18:23,876
Human guts are complex material.
113
00:18:24,200 -- 00:18:28,557
When you stick a bayonet into them
and twist it round a few times
114
00:18:28,880 -- 00:18:30,871
it makes one awful mess.
115
00:18:31,600 -- 00:18:33,909
Only then do you take it out.
116
00:18:40,640 -- 00:18:42,437
You're yellow.
117
00:18:46,360 -- 00:18:48,157
Yellow nancy boys.
118
00:18:53,720 -- 00:18:57,190
Squad! On my order! Two by two!
119
00:18:57,960 -- 00:19:01,077
Don't bugger it up or there'll be
no leave pass tomorrow...
120
00:19:01,400 -- 00:19:04,358
High port!
121
00:19:04,840 -- 00:19:06,159
Charge!
122
00:19:06,600 -- 00:19:08,397
Charge...!
123
00:19:59,600 -- 00:20:02,797
Do you reckon
he's enjoying himself?
124
00:20:03,320 -- 00:20:06,517
Who, Born?
Buggered if l know, mate.
125
00:20:07,680 -- 00:20:11,878
lt just strikes me the fellow
was born for the job.
126
00:20:12,280 -- 00:20:17,479
-He was a policeman before the war.
- While he's fucking us about here,
127
00:20:17,800 -- 00:20:21,270
his old woman's
sleeping around behind his back.
128
00:20:21,600 -- 00:20:25,673
You've no way of knowing that.
We don't get any post.
129
00:20:26,000 -- 00:20:29,675
What wouldn't l give for
just one single letter.
130
00:20:30,000 -- 00:20:32,275
To know what's going on
back home... and suchlike.
131
00:20:32,600 -- 00:20:35,592
Three lads absconded
from 3rd platoon yesterday.
132
00:20:35,920 -- 00:20:38,559
Let 'em go.
To fucking hell preferably.
133
00:20:38,880 -- 00:20:41,952
Or straight to a court-martial.
And then a bullet in the head.
134
00:20:42,280 -- 00:20:46,478
lf we get taken prisoner,
they'll bump us off too.
135
00:20:46,880 -- 00:20:48,552
Bollocks.
136
00:20:48,880 -- 00:20:51,189
They reckon we're all citizens
of their Reich, don't they?
137
00:20:51,520 -- 00:20:54,478
-They think we're all traitors.
-You've got a point there.
138
00:20:54,800 -- 00:20:58,873
You can wipe your arse
on the Geneva Convention.
139
00:24:29,960 -- 00:24:34,272
You, poor fucker, you think
l'll put up with your things?
140
00:24:34,600 -- 00:24:37,160
l made a mistake in Brazil.
141
00:24:41,040 -- 00:24:45,318
l don't wanna know. You'll pay me
for that, you bastard!
142
00:24:45,640 -- 00:24:48,871
Don't try that on me.
l won't put up with it.
143
00:24:49,200 -- 00:24:52,875
l don't wanna know. Where are you
off to? You won't leave here!
144
00:25:08,040 -- 00:25:09,837
Bitch.
145
00:25:10,160 -- 00:25:12,276
An artful fucking bitch.
146
00:25:12,640 -- 00:25:15,359
Thought he was going to take it
out on the whole squad.
147
00:25:15,680 -- 00:25:19,719
lnstead the whole day he has us
shoving bayonets into sandbags.
148
00:25:20,040 -- 00:25:23,032
Well at least we did
a bit of shoving...
149
00:25:29,680 -- 00:25:33,798
When the war's over
l'm going to open a bookshop.
150
00:25:37,520 -- 00:25:42,071
With beautiful books.
And then a printing house.
151
00:25:42,400 -- 00:25:45,790
We've got a factory,
would you believe?
152
00:25:48,000 -- 00:25:50,514
And guess what my Dad does now?
153
00:25:53,800 -- 00:25:56,598
He makes stuff for the Wehrmacht.
154
00:26:03,560 -- 00:26:05,232
Sod him!
155
00:26:05,560 -- 00:26:11,078
The whole country is full
of arselicking collaborators anyway.
156
00:26:12,600 -- 00:26:14,397
l'm going for a slash.
157
00:26:24,400 -- 00:26:26,197
l only regret
158
00:26:27,480 -- 00:26:30,438
l didn't say goodbye to Mum.
159
00:26:31,360 -- 00:26:34,591
l just sent her a letter...
160
00:26:35,640 -- 00:26:37,835
She'd have never let me go.
161
00:28:05,560 -- 00:28:07,915
Operational order
for the 70th infantry division.
162
00:28:08,240 -- 00:28:10,834
The unit will relocate
to Amiriya military camp.
163
00:28:11,160 -- 00:28:13,196
There it will reinforce
the main body of the battalion,
164
00:28:13,520 -- 00:28:15,511
which will transfer
there from Syria.
165
00:28:15,840 -- 00:28:18,354
The entire battalion
will then be transported by sea
166
00:28:18,680 -- 00:28:20,238
from Alexandria to Tobruk,
167
00:28:20,560 -- 00:28:23,518
which is in a state of total siege
from Rommel's Afrikakorps
168
00:28:23,840 -- 00:28:26,229
and four ltalian divisions.
169
00:28:31,240 -- 00:28:34,198
-Jesus, what a stench...
-Don't complain.
170
00:28:34,520 -- 00:28:36,715
We've could have ended up
in the guardhouse.
171
00:28:37,040 -- 00:28:40,032
The battalion is assigned to the
Polish independent brigade group
172
00:28:40,360 -- 00:28:44,114
and is to take up position
in thirteen bunkers along a 6 km
173
00:28:44,600 -- 00:28:46,716
stretch of the
western defensive perimeter...
174
00:28:47,040 -- 00:28:49,793
The bunkers are unequal
distances apart.
175
00:28:50,120 -- 00:28:53,157
Each will be defended by an
appropriate number of soldiers.
176
00:28:53,480 -- 00:28:56,392
There is nowhere to withdraw to.
We'll have only the sea at our back.
177
00:28:56,720 -- 00:28:59,757
l hope everyone can swim...
178
00:29:06,640 -- 00:29:09,518
A few more days training
and l'd be fucked.
179
00:29:09,840 -- 00:29:13,310
l thought you were
fucked a long time ago.
180
00:29:13,640 -- 00:29:16,791
l don't recall us having
chops for lunch.
181
00:29:17,120 -- 00:29:18,917
What can you do?
182
00:29:24,280 -- 00:29:25,872
Now, now...
183
00:29:32,080 -- 00:29:34,799
Annie, Annie, Annie, Ann
184
00:29:35,800 -- 00:29:38,917
You've been at it
all night with a man.
185
00:29:39,240 -- 00:29:42,232
What did he promise after his ride?
186
00:29:42,560 -- 00:29:44,949
That he'd make you his bride.
187
00:29:46,040 -- 00:29:48,918
You thought it was a trance
188
00:29:49,360 -- 00:29:52,397
Your cunt it did a dance
189
00:29:52,720 -- 00:29:54,950
You fucked the night away
190
00:29:56,120 -- 00:29:59,715
And got home at break of day
191
00:30:00,040 -- 00:30:03,237
Annie you're a lovely lass
192
00:30:04,760 -- 00:30:07,672
Every fucker's in your debt
193
00:30:08,720 -- 00:30:11,678
They love your cunt,
they love your arse
194
00:30:12,000 -- 00:30:14,912
You're the fuck they don't forget.
195
00:30:52,240 -- 00:30:54,356
Last will and testament.
196
00:30:54,720 -- 00:30:56,790
l, Joseph Kutina, born at...
197
00:30:57,120 -- 00:30:59,350
Keep your nose out!
198
00:30:59,680 -- 00:31:03,878
Jesus, what about me?
Who could l leave my mine to?
199
00:31:05,160 -- 00:31:08,357
Silly me!
l forgot, l haven't got one!
200
00:31:08,760 -- 00:31:11,354
Know what?
The day we reach Berlin,
201
00:31:11,680 -- 00:31:14,513
l'm going stick this bayonet
right up Hitler's arse.
202
00:31:14,840 -- 00:31:17,912
Talking of arses, gents...
The arse is complex material.
203
00:31:18,240 -- 00:31:20,993
When you stick a bayonet up it
and twist it round a few times
204
00:31:21,320 -- 00:31:23,959
it makes one awful mess.
Only then do you take it out!
205
00:31:24,280 -- 00:31:26,669
That clear, you nancy boys!?
206
00:31:28,360 -- 00:31:31,636
What about you, Johnny?
What are you leaving to someone?
207
00:31:31,960 -- 00:31:33,757
Nothing.
208
00:31:34,360 -- 00:31:36,476
l'm not going to die here.
209
00:33:52,000 -- 00:33:56,596
We're to remain here for the night.
Lie down and try to get some kip.
210
00:33:56,920 -- 00:34:00,959
We regroup at the position
in the morning. Let's go.
211
00:34:05,720 -- 00:34:09,429
First it's get a move on,
and then we're stuck here.
212
00:34:09,760 -- 00:34:12,320
A soldier should only think
one hour ahead.
213
00:34:12,640 -- 00:34:15,108
-Or not think at all.
-Lend me your mess tin.
214
00:34:15,440 -- 00:34:17,635
Don't prattle and get a move on.
215
00:34:17,960 -- 00:34:22,954
Wait here, kiddies. Uncle Ro~a
will bring you a nice surprise.
216
00:34:45,240 -- 00:34:48,550
Ro~i
ka's grocery store,
goods of all kinds.
217
00:34:48,880 -- 00:34:51,519
This will be scrumptious!
Well? What am l?
218
00:34:51,840 -- 00:34:54,274
-Where did you get that hat?
-Nice, eh?
219
00:34:54,600 -- 00:34:58,275
-Wanna buy it now or after the war?
-Jesus Christ! What's this swill?
220
00:34:58,600 -- 00:35:01,478
Salt water. Those Australians
say there's nothing else.
221
00:35:01,800 -- 00:35:06,430
Bugger the water,
it's the women l'll be missing.
222
00:35:10,640 -- 00:35:14,189
They'd better have left us
a bit of this desert.
223
00:35:14,520 -- 00:35:17,717
Yeah, we'll have to billet
somewhere.
224
00:36:25,320 -- 00:36:28,357
They don't let up
for one single fucking day.
225
00:36:28,680 -- 00:36:32,878
Do they think they'll put
the shits up us, or what?
226
00:36:36,240 -- 00:36:38,993
Hey! Go easy with that water.
227
00:36:42,800 -- 00:36:44,597
You okay, lads?
228
00:36:49,800 -- 00:36:51,597
Fine.
229
00:36:57,880 -- 00:37:00,792
All three of us in order, Sergeant.
230
00:39:32,520 -- 00:39:33,953
Halt! Password!
231
00:39:34,400 -- 00:39:36,197
James.
232
00:39:42,720 -- 00:39:45,632
What are you up to here,
you chump?
233
00:40:21,120 -- 00:40:25,716
Wait... What are you up to,
for fuck's sake!?
234
00:40:26,040 -- 00:40:29,953
Put that cockerel down!
Get your hands off it!
235
00:40:31,480 -- 00:40:34,756
Leave go!
236
00:40:40,880 -- 00:40:42,677
They're our eggs!
237
00:41:27,680 -- 00:41:30,831
You think l'm a coward, don't you?
238
00:41:38,320 -- 00:41:42,632
l hope he'll come this way,
the stinking copper...
239
00:41:44,280 -- 00:41:48,193
l'm going to find a way
to get out of here, anyway.
240
00:41:48,520 -- 00:41:52,832
l don't see why l should fight
for some bloody sand.
241
00:41:53,880 -- 00:41:56,952
Maybe l'll shoot my toes off...
242
00:41:57,280 -- 00:42:01,637
You do that and l'll shoot
both your arms off.
243
00:42:01,960 -- 00:42:04,758
Just below the shoulder. Geddit?
244
00:42:46,000 -- 00:42:49,356
Corned beef.
We haven't had that before.
245
00:42:49,680 -- 00:42:51,272
Very funny...
246
00:42:51,600 -- 00:42:57,118
l don't see why someone has to be
a cook just 'cos he's a bit stout!
247
00:44:57,880 -- 00:45:01,350
Therefore my heart is glad,
and my glory rejoiceth:
248
00:45:02,160 -- 00:45:05,709
my flesh also shall rest in hope.
249
00:45:06,040 -- 00:45:08,156
For thou wilt not leave
my soul in hell;
250
00:45:08,480 -- 00:45:12,917
neither wilt thou suffer thine
Holy One to see corruption.
251
00:45:14,040 -- 00:45:18,556
Thou wilt shew me the path of life:
in thy presence is fulness of joy ;
252
00:45:18,880 -- 00:45:21,758
at thy right hand
there are pleasures for evermore.
253
00:45:22,080 -- 00:45:24,992
Glory be to the Father, and to
the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
254
00:45:25,320 -- 00:45:29,996
As it was in the beginning, is now,
and ever shall be,world without end.
255
00:45:30,320 -- 00:45:31,594
Amen.
256
00:46:18,840 -- 00:46:21,035
The Poles will send you
an artillery observer.
257
00:46:21,360 -- 00:46:25,194
Stretch some wire across there
and build him an observation post.
258
00:46:25,520 -- 00:46:27,715
So he's going to
direct the fire from there?
259
00:46:28,040 -- 00:46:31,396
They'll go for him like hornets.
And for us too.
260
00:46:31,720 -- 00:46:34,393
Look, lad, it's not my idea.
261
00:46:34,720 -- 00:46:37,632
Just do it, and carry out the order.
262
00:46:42,400 -- 00:46:44,550
How much for an
extra barrel of water?
263
00:46:57,520 -- 00:47:01,593
- Second-Lieutenant has arrived, Sir!
-Thank you, Sajda.
264
00:47:02,280 -- 00:47:04,077
Dismiss.
265
00:47:06,680 -- 00:47:08,750
Second-Lieutenant Swiezawski.
266
00:47:09,080 -- 00:47:12,390
Sergeant Born.
Take a seat, Second-Lieutenant.
267
00:47:30,760 -- 00:47:34,469
The observation post
will be ready in time?
268
00:47:38,800 -- 00:47:40,597
Yes.
269
00:47:52,560 -- 00:47:57,076
A drop of the hard stuff
is the best thing for the blues...
270
00:48:03,560 -- 00:48:06,358
Death to all Nazis.
271
00:48:08,040 -- 00:48:09,519
Death.
272
00:48:17,440 -- 00:48:19,237
Short three hundred.
273
00:48:21,480 -- 00:48:23,596
Left zero twenty.
274
00:48:32,360 -- 00:48:34,157
Long two hundred.
275
00:48:35,640 -- 00:48:37,312
Right zero twelve.
276
00:49:22,360 -- 00:49:24,351
Listen, lads,
they're about to attack.
277
00:49:24,680 -- 00:49:28,309
Don't lose your heads
and shoot with care!
278
00:49:45,520 -- 00:49:47,431
Come on, you tenors...
279
00:49:52,640 -- 00:49:54,790
Fuck it, fuck it...
280
00:49:55,160 -- 00:49:56,718
You shouldn't do that...
281
00:49:57,040 -- 00:49:59,600
-What?
-Curse before a battle.
282
00:49:59,920 -- 00:50:01,148
What?
283
00:50:01,480 -- 00:50:03,277
lt's bad luck!
284
00:50:05,440 -- 00:50:07,431
-You're barmy...
-You're barmy!
285
00:50:07,760 -- 00:50:09,751
You're barmy! Shift!
286
00:50:51,720 -- 00:50:55,190
They can share out my things.
287
00:50:55,520 -- 00:50:58,956
Except my diary.., that's for you.
288
00:50:59,280 -- 00:51:01,635
Wait, what are talking about?
289
00:51:01,960 -- 00:51:04,076
Off your rocker, or what?
290
00:53:02,120 -- 00:53:05,430
For God's sake, they're heading
straight for us! Five hundred!
291
00:53:05,760 -- 00:53:07,557
Fire! Fire!
292
00:54:16,120 -- 00:54:19,112
Cease fire! Cease fire!
293
00:54:19,640 -- 00:54:21,835
No more! Enough! Don't fire!
294
00:54:22,720 -- 00:54:25,154
Enough! Don't fire!
295
00:54:26,360 -- 00:54:28,157
Fuck it! Fuck it!
296
00:55:09,440 -- 00:55:12,955
l reckon we've got
at least a week's respite...
297
00:55:13,280 -- 00:55:15,430
l'm right out of ammo.
298
00:55:15,760 -- 00:55:17,557
Would you believe it?
299
00:55:22,400 -- 00:55:23,913
OK.
300
00:55:26,920 -- 00:55:28,831
l'll go and fetch some.
301
00:56:16,280 -- 00:56:18,077
Johnny!
302
00:57:26,400 -- 00:57:27,992
Get out of it!
303
01:06:12,600 -- 01:06:15,910
l remember you from
the training camp.
304
01:06:19,720 -- 01:06:23,156
l said you're one of ours,
305
01:06:23,720 -- 01:06:25,517
aren't you?
306
01:06:30,280 -- 01:06:32,077
Got a ciggie?
307
01:06:41,920 -- 01:06:44,036
That was a proper dust-up,
wasn't it?
308
01:06:46,680 -- 01:06:48,671
But we stood our ground.
309
01:06:50,320 -- 01:06:54,029
-We're.., not retreating?
-Of course not.
310
01:06:58,360 -- 01:07:00,749
Where are you wounded, mate?
311
01:07:05,840 -- 01:07:08,308
l said where did you get hit?
312
01:07:13,880 -- 01:07:15,996
For Christ's sake, Tony!
313
01:07:17,080 -- 01:07:19,196
Tony, Tony...
314
01:07:25,440 -- 01:07:30,389
Whatever became of you, George?
You OK?
315
01:07:31,760 -- 01:07:33,557
l'm here, Tony!
316
01:07:35,000 -- 01:07:38,197
Listen! l'll take care of you!
317
01:07:38,520 -- 01:07:40,317
l swear to God l will!
318
01:07:44,600 -- 01:07:47,990
l swear to God
l'll take care of you!
319
01:08:23,400 -- 01:08:26,517
Tony.., what are you doing?
320
01:08:26,840 -- 01:08:30,435
- Where are you going?
-He can't stay here.
321
01:08:31,680 -- 01:08:35,275
You should drag him back
to the path, mate.
322
01:08:55,040 -- 01:08:56,837
Tony! Come with me...
323
01:08:57,680 -- 01:09:00,069
We've got to go back! Please!
324
01:09:01,240 -- 01:09:02,639
Tony..,
325
01:09:03,040 -- 01:09:05,634
what's up?
What's the matter?
326
01:09:35,880 -- 01:09:38,678
Where did he find
all that strength?
327
01:09:39,000 -- 01:09:42,709
l've never seen
anything like it in my life.
328
01:09:47,080 -- 01:09:48,911
What are you doing?!
329
01:09:49,240 -- 01:09:51,231
He'll be all right here.
330
01:09:52,200 -- 01:09:55,476
-He'll have a rest from all that.
-What are you doing?!
331
01:09:55,800 -- 01:09:58,712
lt's all over for him now, isn't it?
He won't be needing it any more.
332
01:09:59,240 -- 01:10:01,037
You bastard!
333
01:10:02,600 -- 01:10:04,397
You bastard,
334
01:10:05,240 -- 01:10:07,276
you bastard...
335
01:12:17,400 -- 01:12:19,709
The main thing is he's back.
336
01:12:21,280 -- 01:12:23,316
l thou ght he was a goner.
337
01:12:23,640 -- 01:12:25,437
Shut it.
338
01:12:26,200 -- 01:12:28,350
l wonder where our
little lad got to?
339
01:12:28,680 -- 01:12:32,036
He looks dreadful.
Give him another drink.
340
01:12:50,320 -- 01:12:52,117
Back to your posts.
341
01:12:52,920 -- 01:12:54,717
All of you.
342
01:12:55,400 -- 01:12:57,197
You too, Lieberman.
343
01:13:21,840 -- 01:13:24,434
What will you put in the report?
344
01:13:27,120 -- 01:13:28,917
That's my business.
345
01:13:32,200 -- 01:13:34,953
l'd like to report, Sir...
346
01:13:35,280 -- 01:13:38,078
Shut your bloody trap and get out!
347
01:13:50,520 -- 01:13:56,311
Tomorrow morning it'll feel as if
your helmet is ten sizes too small.
348
01:14:07,880 -- 01:14:09,677
Sergeant..,
349
01:14:10,960 -- 01:14:12,757
l...
350
01:14:22,200 -- 01:14:23,997
Get some sleep first.
351
01:14:27,080 -- 01:14:29,275
That was an order, Pospchal.
352
01:15:05,320 -- 01:15:09,233
Stinking rum.
lt'll get you back on your feet.
353
01:15:10,160 -- 01:15:12,754
Kohk has put you down
for sentry duty.
354
01:15:13,080 -- 01:15:16,595
They've summoned
the sergeant to company HQ.
355
01:15:23,080 -- 01:15:24,593
Halt! Password!
356
01:15:24,920 -- 01:15:26,717
Pepper!
357
01:16:02,720 -- 01:16:04,517
Thank you.
358
01:16:28,360 -- 01:16:31,397
You could count us
on the fingers of one hand
359
01:16:31,720 -- 01:16:33,950
and you bring in a prisoner?
360
01:16:38,360 -- 01:16:41,670
Just as well he's
on our side, isn't it?
361
01:17:12,600 -- 01:17:15,398
ls this the worst
you can do to this food?
362
01:17:15,720 -- 01:17:17,517
Get stuffed.
363
01:17:46,920 -- 01:17:48,273
Johnny..,
364
01:17:48,640 -- 01:17:52,110
you know what
happened this morning?
365
01:17:52,440 -- 01:17:54,237
lt has to be reported.
366
01:17:55,200 -- 01:17:58,112
When the sergeant gets back.
367
01:17:58,440 -- 01:18:00,237
l don't care.
368
01:18:01,880 -- 01:18:04,155
Those bastards don't
deserve anything else!
369
01:18:04,480 -- 01:18:09,600
We must never forgive them
anything.., do you understand?!
370
01:19:04,840 -- 01:19:10,073
When l get home l'll erase the word
sand from the dictionary...
371
01:19:22,720 -- 01:19:25,359
Yesterday battalion HQ
apparently received an order
372
01:19:25,680 -- 01:19:27,557
from our general in Jerusalem.
373
01:19:27,880 -- 01:19:30,519
They say service discipline
isn't being observed here.
374
01:19:30,840 -- 01:19:35,630
-He's a silly old prat. - So all the
culprits will have to be punished.
375
01:19:35,960 -- 01:19:38,872
He intends to give them
a severe reprimand
376
01:19:39,200 -- 01:19:44,718
- in front of the entire battalion!
-You're fucking having us on.
377
01:21:01,920 -- 01:21:05,037
You won't make up
for it now, laddie.
378
01:21:09,520 -- 01:21:13,069
- Leave him alone.
-Sure thing, lkey.
379
01:21:23,480 -- 01:21:25,277
You swine!
380
01:21:26,080 -- 01:21:27,877
You swine!
381
01:21:48,600 -- 01:21:50,716
Off your rocker, or what?
382
01:21:58,120 -- 01:22:01,430
What the hell is going
on around here?!
383
01:22:18,000 -- 01:22:22,551
Will someone tell me
what's going on?!
384
01:22:40,120 -- 01:22:42,156
Keep your trap shut. Savvy?
385
01:22:48,680 -- 01:22:51,478
OK, have it your way.
386
01:22:53,080 -- 01:22:54,718
-Corporal Kohk!
-Present.
387
01:22:55,040 -- 01:22:58,589
Order from HQ. Carry out reconnoitre
at elevation point 67.
388
01:22:58,920 -- 01:23:01,354
Command time. 09:1 5.
389
01:23:01,680 -- 01:23:05,719
Select two men. Departure in 30
minutes. Everything understood?
390
01:23:06,200 -- 01:23:08,395
Everything understood?!
391
01:23:10,200 -- 01:23:11,997
Sure.
392
01:24:43,400 -- 01:24:45,391
Watch out for the mines, Lieberman.
393
01:24:45,720 -- 01:24:48,598
l'd hate to sweep up here after you.
394
01:26:26,000 -- 01:26:30,790
We'll cross this bit and we'll
reach the top of that rock.
395
01:26:32,800 -- 01:26:36,395
The ltalian positions
are just beyond it.
396
01:26:37,440 -- 01:26:39,237
You go ahead of me.
397
01:26:45,080 -- 01:26:46,877
What's the problem?
398
01:26:48,680 -- 01:26:50,477
Move!
399
01:27:55,280 -- 01:27:58,192
We can't leave him there like that.
400
01:28:01,440 -- 01:28:03,237
We just can't...
401
01:29:08,360 -- 01:29:12,478
For God's sake!
What are you doing, you madman?!
402
01:29:49,720 -- 01:29:51,517
Keep me covered.
403
01:33:05,760 -- 01:33:10,390
ln the desert
l saw a creature, naked, bestial,
404
01:33:10,720 -- 01:33:15,236
Who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,
405
01:33:15,560 -- 01:33:18,358
And ate of it.
l said, "ls it good, friend?"
406
01:33:18,680 -- 01:33:20,671
"lt is bitter -bitter", he answered,
407
01:33:21,000 -- 01:33:23,753
"But l like it
Because it is bitter,
408
01:33:24,080 -- 01:33:26,594
And because it is my heart."

This film is a profound tribute
410
01:33:31,400 -- 01:33:33,709
to the military veterans
of World War ll as well
411
01:33:34,040 -- 01:33:37,157
as to all members of the Czech
and Slovak resistance at home.
412
01:33:37,480 -- 01:33:39,675
lt is dedicated particularly
to the 779 soldiers
413
01:33:40,000 -- 01:33:42,878
of the 1 1th Czechoslovak lnfantry
Battalion-East
414
01:33:43,200 -- 01:33:45,839
who, under the command of
Lt-Colonel Karel Klaplek,
415
01:33:46,160 -- 01:33:48,628
successfully defended
their positions
416
01:33:48,960 -- 01:33:51,713
near the Libyan port of Tobruk
in the autumn of 1941 .
