"5 Iunie, 1944." "O misiune secreta chiar inainte de ziua "D"." "Aceasta misiune a ramas secreta mai mult de 60 ani." "Get ready!" "Hook on!" "Check your stuff!" "Say if your material is well!" "Two okay!" " An OK!" "Go to the door!" "Get out!" "Come on!" "England, a few weeks earlier." "Attention!" "Hold." "Sit down." "Whether you're very smart, or you slijmt many senior officers." "Let's see whether I'm right." "In your opinion, the success of the para-invasion of your little group." "Yes, sir." "I have reservations about." "At best, it's a gamble." "Have you thought about it that you guys get stuck when they call off the invasion?" "You get a domino effect." "When men fail you, the para-invasion fails." "And when that happens is a disaster for the men on the beach." "For them and for me." "No more parties." "The odds are with me." "But the order came." "You can execute your plan." "So be sure but you get the right men's singles." "This does not happen." "These are our guests from the 508ste ... and these are the men who overcome the 504de ... and then you have this guy." "Henry." " Yes, the boxer." "And then you have ..." "Riga Polis, Massachusetts." "A comedian they say." "So they call themselves." "Yes, to a street gang, not infantry." "And they add that the very last, and must adapt to our boys?" "Livingston, the guy from Alabama." "He has already jumped 178 times." "178, can you believe that?" "His resume is not what bothers me." "It is his body." "Who now voluntarily test parachutes?" "What about you?" "You just got married." "Your wife is pregnant." "And if they knew where you voluntarily give up ... it makes you wonder." " Yes." "She would do." "This does not happen." "The captain thinks so." " Well, you've already met him at least." "They must arrive at the base." "That could be interesting." "Pathfinder base." "Beaumont Wood, England." "Great!" "Another load of mouths to feed." "What is Livingstone?" "What is it?" "That's not him." "That's him." "Isolated as we were, it is not surprising that we sounded like a sewing bee." "Sealed, enclosed." "No contact outside our Pathfinder team." "That today two times by a group of strangers." "Strangers to our lives in their hands." "There must be someone who thought this was a good idea." "Good morning ladies." "But at that moment I was not sure." "Do ye not look good?" "Better than uglier than the back of a pig." "At least 10 percent, you are smarter than you are working." "I want neither your time nor mine waste, so I will get to the point." "We bet when the invasion." "It takes two U.S. dollars to join." "Let me try." " Now you're here is the pot doubled." "Two dollars and you can participate." "Two dollars." " Two ..." "Who said I want to join?" "Two dollars." " I never said I wanted to join." "Now it is too late." " Two dollars." "I would not participate." "I never said I was going to participate." "Good to see you." "This is my buddy Ciccero." "We know each other a long time." "How are you." "Nice to meet you." "Bets." "Even Livingston joins." "Okay, try it out." "I think it can succeed." "As long as they do not change the landing." "Sir, this is the soldier you wanted to see." "Is this one of yours?" "Maybe." "Lieutenant, I see you at the briefing." "I've heard more than once ... you already have jumped 178 times." "Research for the paratroopers?" "For example, you could call it, sir." "178." "Get your money for 178 jumps shaking?" "No, sir." "Are not you afraid?" "So yes." "But you're not hanging on my nose, huh?" "Good soldier." "See you at the briefing" " Yes, sir." "I like him." "So you have met the captain." " Well, he said his name." "And?" "How about it, Gene?" "I think we are better with the first name to address it." "Nobody knows who is in whose regiment." "We have our boys." "We have the guys from the 504de and our captain of the 505de." "Just a military mix." "I do not like a mishmash." "Yes, I'm still here." "Corporal I know, but I still have not received red and yellow." "Yes, I know that the planes are marked with black and white paint." "8th Air Force section." "Patfinder Liaison." "I say I'm all red and yellow paint applied have out there." "Everything is there, and send the ..." "No, corporal, hang up again." "Corporal." "Corporal!" "Damn!" "Hear what I say." "On one day someone will invent a way ... to wait until someone pushes the button." "Damn, I hope he fights better than he types." "Corporal, it does not interest me that something went wrong." "I carry you to all the red and yellow paint to find that you can find." "That's secret!" "Concern for paint but now, Corporal." "That's top priority, understand?" "Immediately!" "Damn." "Sir, you must sign it." "Thank you, sir." "Major." " Thank you." "Good afternoon." " Good afternoon, sir." "Want a cup?" " No, thank you" "How's your team?" " All right, sir." "The mission was approved." "But the plans have changed slightly." "Is there a problem?" "There are no problems, Neal, just challenges." "If you jumped and landed his men once ..." "You only half hour to find the landing zone for the coming invasion ... and in order to stay alive long enough to lead them towards it." "Now the most important." "They have moved up landing zone two kilometers." "Right here." "There's the 91st German infantry." "Whose idea was that?" " That there is a hornet's nest." "With this you can not avoid it." "I'm sorry, Neal." "And the information is correct?" "The 91st German infantry specializes ... in fighting against paramilitary forces." "That ..." "that's a challenge." "No, that's a problem." "Listen, Neal." "We both know that I can not even guarantee that the invasion begins." "Pathfinders you can only come to stand." "But if the invasion is starting ... you have to light beacons and guide us." "Well, you're there." "Stay out of trouble." "I see you when I get back." "Hello." " Is it inconvenient?" "That depends." "Have you thought of me?" "The strong, silent type." " Yes, I mean, no." "No, I'm not the strong, silent type." "And yes, I've been thinking." "Good." "And you." " I?" "Of course." "We just cover the table for dinner." "If I could be there on time, do you want a place to keep me free?" "That is absurd." "Is this a rhetorical question?" "Well?" " Would you go get your father, please?" "Neal, I have really no time for." " Who is that on the phone?" "Dinner's almost ready." " Just answer the question." "There is always room for you." "Gotta go now." "Why fighter plane that flies so low?" "That was not a fighter." "When did you become a professor of aerospace engineering?" "Would you like some peas?" " Yes please, thanks." "Also what about this?" " Yes." "How many engines does a Spitfire?" "The RAF should know better than to fly so low." "Is not that banned?" "The B-17 is the American fort, sweetie." "That was no B-17." "Which has two engines." "How many engines does a B-17?" " Four." "Who taught you that?" "They even lie to them?" "With all that military equipment and personnel on the island ... it's a wonder it has not begun to sink." "Indeed." " Absolutely." "Would you like some potatoes?" " I want some potatoes." "What is that?" " The kids prefer." "He hides them for me." "There is no reason." "He's not as badly as I do." "Come on." "Do your cigarettes?" "Got a match?" "And, you've already chosen a date?" " I guess not." "You know that." "And you, Gerald?" "Listen, I do not know these guys from Adam." "And why not give my wallet." "But you are ready to risk your life?" "You know I have no choice." "And what if you have had?" "The Spartans would never consent." "It is a mystery, and we are forced to find the solution." "Right." "But would you do?" "We must stay focused, and I guarantee you that nature does the rest." "Nature?" "We are not at the Waldon Pond." "This is not a discussion about theology ... but on logic and military tactics." "Maybe it's neither." "Maybe it just goes to mathematics and economics." "Perhaps we are bottom of the barrel, at the last minute scratch ... but at least we do it." "What do we participate?" "You adapt so that guests." "I agree that you are not big discussions with them to perform." "I prefer to jump through a battle ... tested apostate, or whatever you want to call them, than a handful of men who have not yet experienced conflict." "So are the cards for them." "That's true." "Everything happens for a reason." "No." "The answer to your question." "No, I would not do it." "But maybe someone knows something we do not know." "Okay guys." "Briefing about 5 minutes." "D-Day." "Operation Overlord." "Gentlemen, we jump tonight." "I have some news." "The increased presence of the 91st German infantry division ..." "The command has shifted our landing N ... with two kilometers into the interior." "Here." "And as you can see, we passed two ... sides surrounded." "By overflowing rivers ... and the third side by the enemy." "Also tell us the intelligence service ... 91st that the anti-German paratroopers division exercises in ... to ensure that we get a good German welcome." "So we need to do this chore quick to recover." "Lieutenant Weaver." "This is the briefing for LZ N." "If you do not belong to the briefing you look for your landing zone." "Okay, we'll take over them again." "Our task is to ensure that thousands more U.S. troops land where they should be." "Without a system, our pilots did not know where they are ... and will our troops dispersed throughout the French countryside." "At that time, the airborne invasion fails." "The solution." "You." "Pathfinders." "Before the invasion begins, we are the first countries in French territory." "When we land, we have 30 minutes to the following for each other." "A:" "Our finding landing." "B:" "The beacon lighting so our pilots can see it." "And C: channel prepare our Eureka." "When transmitting, Eureka will send a signal to the aircraft." "The planes are equipped with the receiver Rebecca ... them to us and leads to the exact landing zones for our troops." "And so begins the invasion." "It's Eureka to Rebecca." "Eureka to Rebecca." "You 508ste of ... must ensure that the lights are up and Eureka works." "For the men of the 504de, your only goal ... she is alive." "Finally, you know that this mission was also long been abandoned." "and there are no guarantees that this will not happen again." "So yes, this is perhaps one way." "If that's the case ... we get beards like Robinson Crusoe." "We gather to 16.00 hours." "Go to your quarters, grab your stuff and see you at the meeting." "Dismissed." "Is it true." " Just as surely as the day is long." "And those guests 505de can not look at each other countries." "How so?" " They block the door." "I would now not going to change." "As long as I am not in a tree terechtkom, I'm glad." "What are the chances of that happening?" "I prefer to land in a tree than in an open field." "If you're in an open field land, you're just as naked as a baby." "What do you all?" "If your pockets so you are full of stabbing, the seams are broken." "You've heard the lieutenant." "We are not hunters, guys." "It should be hunted us." "A 90 percent chance that they call off the invasion?" "We get there with a group of honored guests who are 'the jokers' calls?" "If I were you, I took more food." "Do you really think you get the chance to smoke at all?" "I smoke each cigarette in this tent." " Then you could use it." "Thanks." "There is nothing wrong with my breath." "Your breath gets a dung beetle of manure." "Give them to Riggs." "He's a masher." "If you say the devil." "Who of you use the Eureka?" " Take back your bets?" "You?" "Or you?" "No." "That is not the manual, do you?" "Is there a manual?" "We stay on the ground." "We jump tomorrow." "What?" "Why not today?" " Fog." "Thanks to the weather gods." "Livingston took the fifth, sixth and seventh." "I told you it would happen sooner." " You told me nothing." "Yes, but you're not listening." "You're a real genius." "Thanks, friend." "You seem to like our old commander." "The jokes that we have him removed." " Really complicated." "Our old commander was fond of freshly ground pepper." "He took over with a pepper mill." "Which he put into his back pocket." "just a large piece of wood." "And so he still could not walk every day in the cafeteria." "You know how many dead flies you might find in an army post?" "They are everywhere, on the floor, in the latrine." "The whole platoon had anywhere from me to find dead flies." "I have so many dead flies away that I do not know anymore." "So he puts them in a row." " I have my own attalion insects." "Just perfect." "But for the perfect crime ..." "Do you need three things." "A motive." "A weapon." "But we had not had a chance." "It seemed like every time we wanted to strike ..." "We were transferred back and I had him wear those fucking insects." "Eventually we get a chance." "So, at night we crossed our military flies in his mill." "And every day at dinner we lie in stitches when we hear" "June 5, 1944" "Okay gentlemen." "Preparation." "Military Airport North Witham, England" "They want us to take a picture." " Here, guys." "I stand in front." "They look good." "You wonder ... they know what will happen." "One wonders whether the jump the day before the repayment plan heard." "Okay gentlemen, this is the history." "Hey, you're just spoke Latin?" " There is one hope you do not know me." "Maybe that was also part of the master plan." "Which plane is it?" "Yours." " Do not worry." "There is someone watching you." "Birds of a feather." "A man needs something more than that." " It's not the size." "Continue to delude yourself that it, Gerard." "Dreamer." "I hear a gun deal when we land." "I can not jump in Eureka and a rifle." "Let's hope there is not much lying around." "The idea is I still do not." "It is fear, not the act." "I know all the guys with an M-1." "I hate it just at night to sleep ... wondering what it is." "Is there not worry about it." "Until the morning you can find knives and grenades." "If you mine up, I have no problem with that." "The idea is I still do not." "If I find one, I pick it up for you and I do not say where it came from." "Come on." "The smoke break is over." "Forward." "Pickles, do not forget your purse." "Hello" " Surprise, Riggs is back to talk." "So we're flying over Sicily ..." "The navy attacked us hard." "We bounce around." "The boys are so sick as a dog." "I love my teeth together and hope ..." "I was not torn up my ass." "Then there was that guy." "What was his name again?" " Simmons, that was his name." "Simmons, right." "He sits across from me ... and it must be so hard gagging but nothing comes out." "At any moment he could go puke in your lap Wiggs." "Simmons keeps gagging." "I sit and wait until he pukes every below." "But nothing comes out." " You should have seen him next to Simmons Sat" "Simmons also sees the guy next to green." "It endeavors to who will puke first." "But I bet on ..." " Simmons." "Yes, I know, Sim ..." "He holds his hands together to get everything what comes to collect." "He does ..." "I think "Man, do not puke."" "But if by doing so Simmons, I'm on my neck." "I really did not know how long I could stand still." "Simmons is about to surrender." "He has his hands ready." "But we bounce around so hard that I know that he can not stop." "Just as he pukes ..." "We are touched and we get a blow with the hand covering the mouth ... down the vomit into two streams." "And when the hand was gone, away from his face, shoot the puke hits the road and score his side." "The next guest Simmons is really not happy." "He is angry." "True enough." "He turned to Simmons and says, "Dirty bastards ...'..." "Simmons shot he throws up and down." "Simmons looks down and sees all the puke on his reserve parachute." "He tries to rub off the documents, but he has a piece ..." "It's like a worm on a fishing line." "Not much later." "We get permission and we are ready to jump." "But Simmons is not ready." " No, not at all." "Now he stands behind me." "And just gag." "I think, "Every time I get his food on my back."" "I pray, "Turn around."" "Riggs, watch my bag, okay?" "The light is green and I jump ... without a drop of vomit on me." " Not a drop." "Hey, what have you eaten today?" " Wait, have you been eating?" "Count on that." "Where did you find?" "Get your hands off my bag." "Get your hands off my bag." "Each of us must find out for themselves." "For me, when my foot out ... put that door, I accept that I am already dead." "Those three seconds you lie in God's hands." "But when I look up and I see that big, beautiful silk ceiling ..." "I feel reborn." "Death and rebirth." "Every time I jump." "So do not worry too much." "See you in France." "Lord, thank you for watching over me ..." "Give me the strength to not let these men ... and to do my duty as a soldier." "But if it is your will that I go down ..." "Please make sure that the fast." "Maybe a shot in the head." "Chest Wounds are dirty, but it does not take long." "Please do not abdomen." "With such a wound takes a long time before you die." "But whatever you do, please do it quickly." "Lord, if it does happen, then I will not be alone." "So, if you so sure you, Lord, I am very grateful." "Thy will be done." "Amen." "I need not remind you that ... mission only succeed if the enemy dodges." "That you do not give away your position unless it is urgently needed." "The Eureka station and the lights is the only ... which the aircraft drop zones can be found." "Expect a lot of our men." "Good luck, gentlemen." "I see you on the ground." "Preparing boys." "We go to Normandy." "I'm sorry, but this time may not be connected." "They told me that this is the best time to call." "I'm sorry, madam, but no phone calls accepted." "This happens from time to time." "Do not panic." "All is well established." "If someone comes back, then it's him." "Get ready!" "Arise!" "Hook on!" "Check your stuff!" "Say if your material is well!" "Two okay!" " An OK!" "Go to the door!" "Throw them out!" "Come on!" "1.2 km east of icauville, France" "Come on!" "Come on!" "Come on." "Come on!" "Damn." "I get it for you." "Come on." "We go." "Do that again." " I have something for you." "It is a German connection." "I do not want." "Is a strange smell on." "I've brought for you." " I do not know where it was." "Okay, I'd do something useful with." " Come on." "Light Team 23.10 hours still to go." "Lucky." "Let's see if I get lucky because of you too." "Please look through that light." "Do not lose it, do not destroy, is not in place." "We only have one, understand?" "Okay, we go further." "We need a light delivery." "Want to be captured?" "Where is your station?" " Did you no?" "We have a light and we need that to that drop zone." "Come on!" "For God's sake, hurry!" "Quick!" "Forward soldier!" "Quick!" "Come on!" "Quick!" "Okay, they reload." "Over the hedge." "Soldier, what I told you about that bag?" " Hey, look for you." "Grenade!" "Throw that thing away!" "Grenade, grenade!" "No!" "Go out of there." "Eureka broadcasting team" "It amazes me that you also do not 'cricket' have used." "That I would have used if I do not present in my other hand." "What, you thought it was his wallet?" "The "cricket" is the figment of a university graduate." "And look what he has delivered." " Concoction." "You're just a lowly pickpocket." " Sometimes you hear crickets?" "If you think all night I going to use the password, you're crazy." "It has its uses." "That is his." " And now it's mine." "And it can be very useful, but I do not use it." "Damn Riggs." "Is this all?" " Until the morning, yes." "Tomorrow I have a date." "If we hold out so long." "You're the sunshine in the house." " No time for timid chickens, ladies." "We have no time, and 1.2 km to go." "That's nice." "I go first." "Riggs up the rear." "And there he is happy." "I'm going on a cock." "Where they shoot?" "Probably that idiot in the tree." " Which tree?" "What kind of idiot?" "Come on, come on." "Eureka did you?" " No." "Got a light?" " No." "Got your gun?" " No." "Damn Riggs." "Put him back in the tree." " Am I right, sir." "I got my .45." "Over it!" "Fire coverage." "Eureka broadcasting team" "Come on, Ciccero." "We're outta here." "Come on, we do not have much time!" "Why are we stopping?" " Open field, sir." "Wigformatie." "Forward." "Drop." " Hands up." "Drop." "Do not shoot." "Do not shoot!" "Do not shoot!" "Stay down." "Lieutenant Okay, how did you do?" "How did you come from?" "Magic." " Magic?" "Whenever we want to break out, they fall ... us in the flank and pushing us back." "Be faster." " Yes, how did we come from?" "They let you through." " They know you're here." "Oh, great." "I do not like surprises." "Where is the light team?" "This is what we have 58 men." "Still no gun?" " No." "Here they are." "Here they are." "Do not shoot." "Do not shoot." "Do not shoot." "Stay down." "Stay down." "Do not shoot." "Do not shoot." "I said, 'Do not shoot'." "Someone has to help him." " Quiet." "He is hit." "Dok!" "Dok!" "Do something!" "Dock, come here!" "Okay, mate, I'm here." "Look at me." "Look at me." "Reed, stay with me." "Hold on, come on." "Do not give up." "Hold on." "Do not give up, mate." "Pickles, take it back." "The only way out of this mess to come right through there." "That means you, lucky." "I must stay here." " No, you're not." "Do not worry, sir." "I'll manage." "But leaving now." "We'll see you tomorrow morning." " Okay." "We go through these woods." " See you later." "See you tomorrow morning." "I got something for you." "Until later." "Okay, guys." "I'm coming." "Welcome to Normandy." "Does anyone have a cigarette?" " I have none." "Come, enter here." " But one." "Thanks, stupid pigs." "Always a lot of thunder on a cigarette." "Light Team 7.50 hours to go yet." "Okay, guys." "If we cross that fence, we are safe." "Explore agree." "I'll go." "Give him light." "It is currently occupied." "We will have to make a detour, boys." "Follow me." "Eureka broadcasting team." "Did you hear that?" "Are those ghosts?" " I can not." "Are those ghosts?" " Oh, come on." "I'm not sure." " Where are we now?" "What do we do?" "Very tranquil." "Further, there is a way." "Riggs is leading, Ciccero the rear." "Forward." "Lie." "Stay down." "Okay, come on." "Forward." "Cover it." "Stay down." "Where is Ciccero?" " He has 20 seconds to turn up." "We have a team of Eureka and no light." "Bad." "We only need one, the rest is superfluous anyway." "Besides, how do you know that no team is light?" "Light Team." "It does not matter that it was a trap." "We have 3 minutes and a chance to light on that field to get." "One of us get that light on that field, understand?" "If he fails, the next picks up and carries it across the field." "Okay, wigformatie." "Weaver, You stay in front." "Come on." "Follow me." "Run." "Calm down, guys." "Move, move, move." "Okay, go!" "We'll be fine!" "Damn." "Can you see me now?" "Good." "Do not stand there!" "Away!" "Come on." "Come on." "Hear that?" "Eureka broadcasting team." "There it is." "That is our landing zone." "Hear that?" "Okay, it's now or never." "Forward." "Bending, stooping, bending." "Away, away." "Secure the area." "They are off course." "Come on, man, she must now jump." "Captain, I get nothing." "Just to keep this course." "I know we're close." " Close?" "We hang about." "If you do not quickly find, we should return." "Captain, give them another minute." "Give those guys a chance." "A minute?" "You have no minutes." "Wait, wait." "There they are." "Captain, I have them." "10 Turn to the left." "10 degrees to the left." "So you start a party." "I drag this thing all night with me." "You have a nice spot picked out for me." "Come on!" "Cost me all night." "D-Day June 6, 1944" "Good morning." " Good morning?" "Are you alone?" " I'm never alone." "We do." "We were ordered here to maintain, at all costs." "That is hopeless unless we can disable mortar guns." "Who are we?" "Mortars?" " Look." "Where is ..." "Damn." "See it?" "At 200 meters." "Great." "Great, now my commander is gone." " Where'd he go?" "Reinforcements." "Hopefully more than you." "They are never on time here." "True enough." " It's time to get your guys out of here." "My men?" " Yeah, so listen." "If something happens to me, please in my platoon." "Eddie Livingston, Adam Company, 504de." "Got it?" "Where you going?" "They shoot you down!" "You'll never!" "950 meters!" "Loading!" "Who's here." "How are you?" "How you doing, sir?" " Good." "Good morning, guys." " Good morning, sir." "On the road to hill 30?" "I would offer you a lift, but as you can see, it's busy." "Without a report after the battle, no written story of our mission, if we knew we all would be forgotten by history." "Not as a pessimist, but as a realist" "I tried to find out how and why this mission could succeed." "And frankly, I could not then and still do not." "Perhaps it is true that some things are better kept secret." "Perhaps it is true that no logic can be found in the human heart." "Maybe logic has nothing to do with it." "That does not really matter." "As for me ..." "I'm just glad there was a missing puzzle piece." "Something I did not counted." "Something I did not even see." "Call it what you want." "I know how to call it." "Captain McBride returned to his fiancée in England." "They married and continued the rest of their lives together." "Livingston and Dok were captured." "She survived and returned to the U.S.."
