Battle for Castle Itter (2025) Movie Script
Mein Fuhrer?
Drell army, they enter the city.
Mein Fuhrer, Reichsleiter Goebbels would
like to meet with you.
Slow down, Herr Heidler. You're making
me nervous.
Nervous?
We're concerned you will lose to me
again.
Probably.
Heidler, is it true?
Is this everything?
Yes, it is. Get me those papers.
Commander Heidly, is the car ready?
Yes.
You're leaving?
And the other guards?
I'm the only one left.
What about your prisoners?
You can't just abandon us.
You and the rest of the prisoners are
released and free to go.
To go where?
Hitler might be dead, but as far as I
know, the German army has not yet
surrendered. How are we supposed to go
back to France?
You two are former prime ministers and
highly decorated First World War
soldiers. You led France and refused to
back down Hitler first in baby Europe.
But I'm sure you can figure out how to
lead a castle full of your people
the Germans.
Make sure everything's destroyed.
Understood. And leave.
Move!
If Wimmer left us, then we are
completely unprotected.
Wimmer is scared.
Well, let's tell all the others.
And we are now on our own.
Hitler. I'm sorry, Andrei. I'm sorry.
Looks like dear Hitler has the vent,
huh?
Andrei, we have to gather all the rest
of prisoners.
What happened?
You were right.
Hitler is dead.
Run, you coward!
Run back to your dead Fuhrer!
Andrei!
Lower your voice, please.
Why? Why shouldn't we celebrate our
captain's death?
These are marvelous news. We are free!
No, Ante, we are not. Not yet.
Audrey, the war is not officially over.
The Nazis are without a leader.
You can cut the head of a poisonous
snake, but that doesn't mean the venom
suddenly loses its potency.
Christine is right.
We can wait.
So do we do here? Shall we sit and look
over the walls who comes first out of
the forest?
Americans or the Nazis?
Do we flee and hope the Nazis don't see
us?
There are over 100 of us here.
Are the Americans yet here?
In Tyrol?
I ran into one.
What? And you didn't tell us?
And for what reasons should I tell you?
Edward.
We should find that American.
Maybe they can help. How?
To aid us in the Nazis' attack, or even
to help us leave.
Anything.
I will go.
I will go.
You, Andre? Yes.
It would be one of my many errands in
the market.
I'm a chef. It's what I do. Nobody would
question me.
Hey, I'm not going to die if there are
just few days left in the war. And if I
am, it is not going to be because I
accepted my fate lying down. It would be
because I fought for my freedom.
Brave man.
Right.
Right.
General would only forget the number of
Germans under his command.
General Ford said that the number of
Germans spread forward numbered perhaps
between two and four hundred thousand.
So now we approach the end of war in
Europe today for the American armies and
the Allied forces.
This could mean that very soon all our
boys will be out of danger.
Clear!
Clear!
Thank you, General. Nice with the Luger,
Captain.
This war, absolutely.
What is it?
A little bit of home.
I don't know why we're still doing this.
Cross disappeared the moment Hitler
died.
Don't trust him.
Germans?
I thought you said your grandpa was
German.
Nazis. There's a difference.
Told you that in confidence.
Meant nothing by that, Captain.
Hell, the war's almost over.
Just waiting for a good old Uncle Sam to
say as much.
So you're thinking of thinking of the
military or going to go back to
Football.
Feels like a lifetime ago, Harry.
I'd pay to see that.
All right.
Let's pull out. Call up the men.
Time to mount up and move out, boys.
Where are you coming from?
Oberfhrer, SS Obersturmfhrer Riemann
has abandoned his post at Castle
Ytter. The guards are leaving.
And you fled like cowards.
Handler? Sir, the radios are down. We're
trying to reach help to contain the
prisoners.
So, this is the reconnaissance mission.
The famous gas liter.
How many prisoners remain?
Around 100, sir.
And they've been kept alive during the
duration of the war?
As per our orders from the Reich
Templary.
Yeah.
High -value prisoners.
And who is there?
Two French prime ministers, two war
commanders, also from France.
Jean Bourotra.
French, I'm bad.
Jean Bourotra?
The Tnitard?
Yes, sir.
Yeah, yeah. I watched him play at the
Germans International.
in 28.
He defeated us.
So, Menning Heidler, you abandoned your
post and
left these high -value prisoners alone?
Not you left these high -value prisoners
alone!
We proceed to catch the leader.
How
long?
Morning.
Maybe even earlier.
We need reinforcements.
Andrei is seen to that.
And if he fails...
Remember Captain Schrader? Of course I
do.
One of the numerous guards here at Iter.
He's now part of the resistance.
So you want to bring him back here to
Iter? But to what end?
Okay. I have informed the others.
Thank you, my love.
Edouard isn't wrong.
Captain Schrader is an enemy.
He's part of the resistance.
And he is willing to fight for all of
us.
And who will you send out to the
wilderness?
I'll go.
You are not young.
And this is not like the hunger.
I will go with him.
Two old men venturing out to fight
Nazis.
Not too old.
And not to fight Nazis.
To convince...
Former Nazis to fight for us.
Time is running out.
So if we are not back by nightfall,
please, Christine, hide everyone in the
basement.
So maybe if they come, they will think
that we abandoned the castle.
You are abandoning the castle.
Christine.
Christine.
Christine.
If I could think of... Any other way?
I don't want you to die.
I'm doing this because I don't want you
or anyone else to die.
No, you're doing this to make amends for
past discrepancies.
No, there is no repentance for me.
This is just about saving us until the
end of the war, and this is so close.
We have suffered too much over the
years, and I don't want to lose us.
Thank you, my love.
Your business?
I'm a chef at Castellitter. I'm on my
way to the town to get supplies.
Andre.
I apologize. I didn't recognize you, my
friend.
It's good to see you, my friend.
And you.
Sorry, Andre.
It's complicated.
We can't really trust anybody.
Could you before?
This is different.
This is desperation.
Everyone is panicked.
Andre, smoke?
Yes, please.
You picked a good day to come into town
today.
The bakery has many loaves of fresh
bread.
Actually, that's not why I come to town
today.
Let me guess.
You heard the Nazis are making their way
towards Hitler.
So you come asking for help from your
favorite German resistance fighter.
Actually, I was on my way to ask
Americans for help, but if you can...
are slaughtering our resistance fighters
outside of Tirol.
But I don't see any Americans helping us
there.
But maybe the idea of a Frenchman
actually begging them for help might
them.
Maybe. Maybe.
But we do need help.
From the Americans.
And from you, if you can spare any.
We need the Americans.
I know where they are.
And I'm going to help.
Anything to take down more Nazis, come.
Andre.
Welcome to the Resistance.
Thank you Joseph.
Thank you.
Wait.
No word from HQ, sir?
That's the army, so we hurry up and
wait.
You should seriously consider making a
life in the army when this is all over.
I'm not a lifer.
When I get home, I'm staying home with
my beautiful wife.
Ah, dude.
Living the American dream, huh?
That's what we're doing it for, right?
Think your in -laws are going to come
around?
I mean, you're a war hero.
I was working on my trauma offensive
before the war started.
I know, but the war's almost over.
You never did tell me why they hate you
so much. I know, right? Such a lovable
guy.
Crap! Take cover!
Look at that.
Have a white flag.
Think they're here to surrender?
Can we trust them?
Probably not.
Cover me.
Remove shielding.
There we are. Put your hands up.
American.
I am Major Joseph Gangl, and I would
like to surrender the German garrison in
Vogel. A major?
For which side?
I said for which side?
Your side.
Yes.
Yes. And I am the prisoner of the castle
eater?
Exit the vehicle with your hands up.
Just listen to what I have to say.
Another word and I shoot you both right
now.
search him
gotten
found this is in her coat pocket
We are political prisoners and our lives
are in danger. We cannot hope to
survive on our own. Please help.
What is this? Who are these people?
They are French prime ministers and
military officers.
They were willing to help prisoners at
the castle later.
Major, the war is over.
Nazis will be surrendering any day now.
Not all Nazis would feel that way,
Captain.
Some would rather go out fighting than
surrender.
And they will take as many innocent
lives with them as they can.
You're one of them.
I am German, but I'm not a Nazi.
I thought all Germans were Nazi.
Not all.
Not me.
We are the resistance fighters.
But wearing a Nazi uniform.
Captain, in this town, it's too
dangerous not to.
We need your help.
We need the Americans.
It is only a matter of hour before Nazis
come to Iter.
How do you know this?
I overheard... What?
I overheard from the SS
Oberstgruppenfhrer.
He was talking that while he was
assassinating one of our guards from
means to take the famous prisoner's
hostage and kill the rest.
Your boy's got some more fight left in
you. You got it, Captain. Yes, sir. He's
right behind you.
And if the Nazis don't come, you can
stay at Iter until the war is officially
over. And I'm the cook over there. I
will make a marvelous meal for you. For
and your comrades.
Huh?
Sounds like a big price to pay for a
fancy dinner in a bed.
Brad Pollock? Yeah, Captain?
Go ahead and call HQ. See if this is of
interest to the higher -ups. I haven't
made up my mind yet.
We're not doing anything without the
okay from Uncle Sam.
Yes, sir.
Captain Schrader.
This is Monsieur Renault and Monsieur
Daladier.
Captain Schrader.
Prime Minister Renault.
Prime Minister Daladier.
Is everything all right?
Captain Schrader may be coming.
Don't call me Captain.
Excuse me, Kurt. Old habits.
Forgive me.
Thank you.
So, SS Obersturmfhrer Wimmer left you
completely undefended.
Why am I not surprised?
Can you help us?
I'm a defector.
A man without a home.
If I'm discovered by the Nazis, I will
be killed.
If I'm discovered by the Americans, no
doubt they will arrest me for war crime.
Therefore, I fight for no one.
But in your heart, you know what's
right.
Right or wrong does not matter in war.
But you know, Kurt, why abandon hundred
prisoners and left them to die at hands
of some of most cruel men that ever
walked on the earth?
I have information.
That's it.
Tell us.
The Americans are outside heroes.
Approach them, not me.
They are strong.
They have guns and supplies.
They will make you and prisoners of
Ytter safe.
But we already know that.
We even sent Andrei to meet them. So
what do you want of me?
If Nazis come, you'll be there to show
that you are in command of prison.
And perhaps you can keep them away for
good.
They are desperate men, looking for any
leverage they can by holding all of you
hostage.
They will not be so easily swayed.
Yes, but you would give us time to fight
them.
Sounds like I would be in the crossfire.
Yes, but everyone is going to be in
crossfire.
Gentlemen.
It will be an honor.
to defend prisoners of war one last time
against the tyranny of the Third Reich.
Thank you.
Thank you, Colonel.
Sieg Heil!
Sieg Heil!
The death of our warfare does not mean
the end of the war.
or our struggle.
Ours is a thousand -year Reich.
No man, not even our fear, is greater
than the
fatherland itself.
Should it truly present us with such
prizes
as prime ministers, then we take them
alive.
as bargaining chips.
But should they prove of no value?
We shall hit Getalita before sunrise.
John, where are the others?
Safely downstairs.
And the food?
Food, penicillin, blanket.
We are ready.
They are here.
Good. Let's go.
Paul.
What, mon ami?
It's good to see you again.
As well with you, Paula and Christine.
Captain, Herr Borotra.
Well, let's kick those Nazi bastards one
more time so you can get back on the
court.
Indeed.
Let's get him inside. I'm afraid we
don't have a lot of time left.
Andrei, is he back?
No.
Have you sent any word yet about the
Americans?
Nothing.
Hey, Val!
I'm looking at this map.
How long do you think it's going to take
us to stop a war that will round up
this Austrian resistance?
It's going to put us out more than 30
minutes, sir.
All right, because I'm not expecting
reinforcements for another few hours
otherwise. Use some extra bodies.
Roger that, Captain.
Sergeant, what do you say?
Can't see anything.
Spot someone. Now we got plenty of heat.
Still these goddamn Nazis, the war's
over. Where'd they hit from?
Over there, sir!
You see now?
You see they're going to attack you
there!
They're the Waffen -SS.
Hitler's most elite and fanatical
soldiers.
Well, they're dead now.
They're like what?
They're not just one. They're many.
This is a big job.
They're gathering troops.
Maybe we could cut them off before they
hit Eder.
Maybe.
But they're attacking from multiple
directions.
I heard they're commanding in Tyrol.
Maybe we go to Tyrol first.
Maybe. I'm sorry, but if we focus on
just one city, they're still attacking
multiple directions. Yeah, and then we
just wait until they amass some large
battalion as they attack Iter?
No, thank you.
And then we attack Tirol.
What?
Well, you would like that, wouldn't you?
That just leaves us with one.
The people of Tirol need protection.
I'm not protecting Germans.
In case you weren't asleep for the last
five years, we're at war with the
Germans. The people of the hall are not
Germans or Nazis.
Okay. They're Austrian.
Okay, okay, okay. Bash, stand down. I
gotta think.
Americans help Germans.
We could be facing a full battalion of
Nazis at Eder. If we don't get
reinforcements, we're done.
American reinforcements.
Not ex -Nazis. I'll take Betty Boop if
she knows how to shoot a gun. Well, at
least she's American.
Let me go to Tyrell and take care of the
tanks.
We can get to it another way.
We could be dead by then, though.
The command wants us hit at her by the
night.
Besides, maybe the Nazis think the final
battle's in Tyrell, not at her.
I'm going to send a couple of the tanks.
Captain, that's just... It's my order.
Major I'm sending two tanks with you on
the world But I need you to get back
here within an hour with as many
Reinforcements as you could find and
of the tanks leave the other in to roll
just in case I'll find as many
reinforcements as I can and bring them
to you.
I promise And thank you captain without
those things the city would fall
even more assets with attack ether after
they've ravaged the city
The other ladies and I made this.
Fly it high, and I promise we will not
be mistaken for Germans.
And Germans will know we are not going
down without fight.
Thank you, my love.
We're back, Paul.
France is back.
We will raise it now.
What do we have here?
Dozens of pistols, all left behind by
the guards.
Not as much as we hoped for, but it's
going to last the night.
Gentlemen.
Captain Schroeder.
Did you get some rest?
Yes, thank you.
Am I to understand that Monsieur Nazi
Officer is here to assume responsibility
of ensuring the safety of all of us?
That is my sole responsibility for the
reminder of the war.
Captain Schrader, I hereby offer you the
command of Castelter.
I accept.
Therefore, gentlemen, allow me to see
what we have to work with. Yes, of
Captain.
Bring the weapons.
If you don't mind.
Paul, wait.
I need to speak to you.
I know what you're about to say.
Why do you have to risk your life as
well?
Because Andre might not even reach the
Americans.
It should be my duty to help any way I
can.
And certainly you can understand my
position.
But what can I do?
Well, stay with prisoners and make sure
that they are safe.
No.
What do you mean, no?
Before we fell in love, you hired me to
write your memoir.
How can I do that if I'm sitting in the
cellar?
Besides, if we are so outnumbered, maybe
I should be at your side to fight with
you.
Christine. I don't want to give those
damn Nazis the satisfaction of having my
back turned to them.
I am staying.
I see you are not going to change your
mind.
Good.
I'm happy you see that.
My brave Christine.
Stop!
How long before we reach them?
The 88 can provide.
Empty the fire from the ridge while we
breach the entrance.
If we skip dinner, we can get there by
morning.
That puts us ahead of schedule.
So, we skip dinner.
We don't know how many of the guards
remain, but we don't have any trouble
capturing 70 -year -old French
politicians.
and family members.
Test the perimeter.
Find a weak point.
We need to take whatever government
officials are there alive.
Everyone else is to be executed.
With the ravine surrounding the castle,
the only easy way enemy has is through
the main gate.
We should have heard from Andre by now
if he made it through.
Don't think about it.
The Americans.
They're here. It's all theirs.
Don't approach.
Americans.
You're the prisoners of this
castle? Yes.
I am Prime Minister Edouard Daladier. He
is Prime Minister Paul Reynaud.
She is Christine Mabir, Jean Bortra,
and...
The other are inside the castle.
We didn't find the war wrong, boys.
What does it mean?
Well, while my friends were getting shot
up and blown up, you guys were living
high on the hog.
You got any room service here?
How dare you?
We have suffered.
We have seen our loved ones die, and we
have seen our country overwhelmed by
Nazis. How dare you?
Now, now, apologize for my friend here.
He was just making an observation,
that's all.
I'm Captain Jack Lee. You met Bas.
That's Private Pollock and the rest of
the team owned by Jenny.
Jenny?
Tank.
You boys must be famous.
Please, come on in.
Pleasure is ours.
Boys have been on rashes for a few
weeks.
Feels good to have a home -cooked meal.
Can I get you some tea?
Maybe later.
You got any Budweiser?
I'd kill for a Bud right now.
Weird.
Come on, this is German, right?
Of course we are.
Hard to tell the difference with all the
Nazis running by.
I'll go search the opposite quarters.
Sometimes they hid explorations of the
Adair. Thank you, my love.
And so, Captain Lee, you said you've
been hit outside of Tyrol?
Encountered a small squad of weapon SS.
I think there's at least one large
company headed this way.
He used to be a prison guard here.
Used to be.
You a Nazi?
No.
Are you?
Oh, no one is a Nazi here.
We are fighting Nazis.
Is it clear?
We are all on the same side.
Understand?
Sure. We understand.
We've been fighting you Germans for
about five years now.
Excuse us if we seem a little
suspicious.
Your people killed a lot of our friends.
Come on, Captain. What's one less crowd
in this war?
Lieutenant, no need to get all hasty.
Just keep an eye on him.
My friends have claimed that it bleeds
just the same as yours.
Come on, stop it.
Today, we are all on the same side.
No. We are here to protect each other.
We are here to protect each other.
And God will know who is right or who is
wrong.
But we will know that tomorrow, not
tonight.
Understood?
My apologies. You're right.
Bass?
All right, Captain.
Old habits.
So, gentlemen.
Can you tell us if Andre is still alive?
Oh, uh, cook.
Uh, yeah, he's fine.
Yeah, him and Major Gangle are out
rounding up troops in the war.
Major Gangle?
Good, good.
I don't trust it.
I don't trust them.
Days away from maturity, the war's
almost over.
Right now, war's still going on.
The man wants us here, so we're here.
You got a problem with that, Lieutenant?
No, sir.
Think that'll be good enough, Captain?
Yeah, it's perfect, Bill.
Thank you, sir.
Where's my other tank?
The Major here gave it to the goddamn
Nazis.
Let me explain.
You damn well better.
I told you to leave one tank in town,
not two.
Sir, there is a tank company on approach
to Orgel, sir.
Andres, I am not addressing you.
Major, where's my other tank?
I apologize for not bringing back one of
the tanks, Captain.
But as Andre was saying, a panzer
company is on its way to Vogel.
Answer the captain's question.
Where's my goddamn tank?
Stand down, Lieutenant.
Stand down!
The population of Vogel is much higher
than Datavita.
We left it there so they could defend
themselves.
Told you, gave the tank to the Nazis!
I did not! They're resistance fighters!
Quiet! Everybody!
They were Nazis.
They were being attacked by the Nazis, I
swear.
The Nazis, the common enemy.
That was not your decision to make. I
know.
I know, and I will take full
responsibility for it.
This war is almost over, sir. Yeah, you
absolutely will take full responsibility
for it.
Are we good?
No, we're not.
But we'll make it work.
That's quite good for me.
Can I show you something?
Sure.
Andre.
Major Gengel.
Shada, I'm glad you made it.
And you, Major.
The game does for hell.
We have our orders, Bass.
Captain!
You should know that I saw two anti
-tank guns posted outside of here.
One southeast, and the other one to the
west.
Yes, we observed the acid troops coming
toward the castle from north, south, and
west.
All right, let's get everybody in the
castle. It's time we had ourselves a
little chat.
Come on, now.
Let's go.
Phil, stay out here with Denny.
Got it, sir.
Take care of him.
And flank the west side of the entrance.
Yes, Oberfhrer.
Flank the east.
We hold the rest of the troops here
while we see how they react to our
teams.
Direct fire to the front of the castle.
Pass.
I want no artillery fire.
Yeah.
Attention,
please.
Quiet, please.
In a short time,
this castle is going to be attacked by
Nazi forces.
They should have left the castle.
Well, I agree with them.
You French like to run away, right?
Maybe this was mistake.
No, we got this.
My lieutenant won't speak out of turn
again. Isn't that right, Bass?
Yeah, sir, Captain.
My name is Captain Jack Lee, Jr. of the
United States Army.
You already met Bass.
I apologize for my friend's behavior.
But we've suffered casualties, too.
The Nazis may have not tried to take our
country.
They have taken from us.
A generation of men.
We'll not go home.
We suffered just like you.
Now, I'll start with the good news.
Adolf Hitler is dead.
Here's the word, though.
As I speak, there are German and Allied
forces communicating over a peace
treaty. That could happen any day now.
Well, someone asked if we should leave.
Sure.
Leave.
Go.
But you will be running into a battalion
of Nazis on their way to this castle.
And their goal is to capture highly
evaluated prisoners, like your prime
ministers here, and kill the rest of
you.
They will use those they capture as
hostages to get a better sentence
when the Nazis are arrested.
So... This is what we need to do. We
need to organize ourselves.
We, Americans, and the resistance will
be the front line,
first line of defense.
And for the rest of you, start
barricading the doors and the entrances.
Keep yourself safe down here.
If we don't make it, maybe you will...
by just hiding and again again
the war will be over soon
started everybody time to show these
nazis what this
war meant to you
What am I missing? What am I doing?
They're waiting for you.
Let's see what the response is.
We won't speak on the fact of the
matter.
All right, very good.
Let's give them a response to not give
away the whole farm. I said we're doing
our communications. Can we take any
pictures, Bill?
All right. Maybe Cody.
Keep driving. Let's cover and size it
out. Yes, ma 'am.
Hey, what are you doing? Get back in the
cellar.
Hey, some of this is all a fight, dude.
I order to keep you safe and protect the
inner.
But you cannot do both.
What is that, a pistol?
You need to hike out of the weapon. This
ain't cops and robbers.
Get back in the cellar now.
We have to be here!
Go! Go pick up from the gatehouse! Go
back!
Clear!
Yes,
Captain! Grab a couple of your guys! Get
to that top battlement! Top battlement
right away, sir! Right, you two with me
on my six!
Let's go, go, go! Fuck!
I wouldn't be surprised if the Nazis
came up to East and begged them to reach
the Western Wall.
Send some of your best marksmen to the
towers in the outhouse windows.
Yes, Captain.
Okay,
grab a couple of boys. Go check it out.
Yes, sir.
Come with me.
Bugs keep taking small arms cars.
It'll be just fine, Jenny.
The skirmish teams have withdrawn.
We have found only one tank.
One. Impossible.
No. Check again.
Yes, Oberfhrer.
That was a hell of a light show, Bill.
Thank you, sir.
Unfortunately, last burst of machine gun
fire took out my radio and all the
comms.
Everyone okay? Any casualties?
All good, Captain. How about you?
All good.
Jenny's radio didn't make it.
How did that happen?
A crowd with a machine gun.
Captain, as we suspected, we spotted a
couple of SS troops working their way up
the ravine.
But we were able to push them back.
Me and as you suspected, Captain. It was
a good spot.
Keep watch for me.
Yes, Captain.
Everyone okay?
My men witnessed a movement on the west
ridge towards the curtain wall.
But they never fired on us.
No doubt they saw some of the boys up
there and thought better of it.
You can thank Captain Schrader for that
call.
Shame Schrader didn't change sides a
long time ago.
How you doing on ammunition?
Not so good.
We're gonna have to start being more
conservative with it. Can't afford to
out random suppressive fire unless it's
critical.
Every bullet needs a head.
Yes, Captain.
Captain!
Huh?
What is it, Major?
What am I looking at?
It's the 17th anti -sponsor and idea
division.
I went for a battle, my friend.
They lead troops.
The best of the best.
Atoll, Atoll. We are in position.
There is only one enemy tank guarding
the ship.
One tank confirmed.
Only one American tent and the entrance.
That's it?
Yes, Bobo Furo.
That isn't a fortune.
It's an in for weary travelers.
We will destroy the tank immediately.
Once that's finished, we'll assault from
every conceivable angle.
Guess or it'll be mine by this evening.
Go!
Hey, guys, see something?
Is that artillery?
Take cover!
Fire!
Ross, you hear that?
Bill! Bill!
Almost done!
You broke up!
Come on, Lieutenant.
Get over here.
Fuck, I need you down here!
Are you okay?
I'm trying to fix the radio.
What the hell happened, Captain?
Bill.
Bill's dead?
Goddamn. I need you to go to the west
side of the ravine. See if there's any
more guys over there. We gotta know if
we need to send more of our own.
You can count on me, Captain.
Oh,
shit!
It was where did we tell you everything
over there you remember yes
Captain
there
were two
Captain, all we want to do is to save
our country.
I know, I know. I was wrong.
We fight together.
Thank you, Captain.
What's the plan?
Find the Nazi and put a bullet in him.
Captain!
Lieutenant, you're in charge.
Yes, sir.
It's okay. Catch your breath.
There's a small squad up on the west
ravine.
And I think they're gonna still try to
make their way up to our east walls.
How many?
I'm not sure.
A handful at best.
It's okay. It's fine.
I can go back.
Nope. Nope. You did fine. Thank you,
Private.
Now, grab some men, get up to our
vantage point, and keep them crowds
Roger that, sir.
What did Pollock have to report, sir?
Still a few guys had an E.
I said Pollock keep my pay.
Captain, I just have a few bullets left.
Use your ammo more sparingly, my friend.
We'll take a shot if you know you have
it. I'm low, too. How much longer can we
keep this up, huh?
Keep it up as long as we have to, till
the 142nd arrives.
Captain, we never gave them the quarters
before Jenny's radio went out.
They're not coming?
No one's coming?
Maybe. I don't know.
Oh, they're going to kill us all.
And they?
They go back to the cellar.
Come on, Andre. Fight with us. With
America. With resistance.
With those Germans.
Or go to the cellar and stay there.
No.
I'll fight.
I'll fight.
Good man.
Look at me.
You need a messenger.
You need a runner.
Someone to run up down the road, flag
these forces.
Without the radio, we can't call for
help.
Too risky. I need every man here.
I'll go.
See, I'm not much of a shot.
But I can run.
I've won Wimbledon twice. You know why?
Because I can pitch up the court like no
one else.
Just give me the American uniform.
I'll dress up, so that way when I meet
them, they're gonna know that I'm
the truth.
Okay. Lieutenant.
Find someone to swap uniforms with him.
Yes, sir
There's nothing around to pick up the
targets before you shoot.
There's one now.
Captain, tell me about Morano.
Not now.
We're almost out. Just keep using your
shots wisely.
Captain, I just want you to know that
I'm... Not now, Major.
Talk about it after the war.
I can use you in the gatehouse with
Andres and a couple of his guys.
Right. Let's go. Guys, let's go.
We're going to check on the others.
Roger that, sir.
Put the 88 on the outermost $0 .20.
Let's go, let's go!
The Brokes make it off past the
perimeter?
Yes, Captain.
Anyone cross their sights over here,
Captain?
I've sent a few to join the Fuhrer.
But given there's no cover, one is
either a fool or a martyr.
How much ammo you got left?
Getting down to it.
Want me to send a couple guys over here
to assist you?
I'm fine, Captain.
Thank you.
I'll leave you to it, then.
hit us with a few of the 88s.
Yeah, they're probably going to pop one
off every once in a while to keep us
honest.
Trying to take the castle intact.
Yeah, so they can later defend
themselves and use the prisoners as
chips.
What is it, Captain?
Pollock said they only sent a couple
guys up the ravine, but I think they
the company up.
What do you think they're up to?
They're going to hit us from the north.
Son of a bitch!
They sent a few guys to see how many
were there, and now they know it's just
of us. They'll cut us right there.
They'll just bomb us.
Cover here.
Renaud, come on.
Make it the bow!
Cover.
Major, they're breaching the north keep.
Okay.
So, Captain, there are three people
left.
Major! Major!
Oh, no. God damn it. No.
No, no, no, no.
Why'd you do that?
keep up the assault from the eastern
ravine and the north while we prepare
advance from the front
Don't tell the captain. Listen, of
course. It's right now. They're about to
piece things to bed.
Go, go, go!
It's not your fault, Paul.
What's going on? You okay?
Well, not really.
Captain Lee, there's something they
didn't tell you.
You are looking at the last French prime
ministers.
They lost France to the Nazis.
And now they have no home.
Nazis are going to kill us.
Well, even if we survive, France will
not forgive us.
We have lost our country.
And now we are going to lose our
country.
You know, I don't know much about
politics.
But I'm sure you had your reasons to
surrender.
He's been always looking for a way to
forgive himself.
I'm not going to forgive myself, Edward.
You can always come to America. Sounds
like you like our cowboy movies.
Hey, I'm not giving up.
Probably got enough ammo for maybe one
more large assault.
We have knives.
We have some gardening tools.
Right. We improvised.
They're not going to win this battle.
Yes, the knives are in the kitchen hall,
and the gardening tools are in the
table.
I hope it doesn't come down a hand -to
-hand combat, but if it does,
we'll make it work.
Lieutenant, you just throw that
touchdown pass, we'll knock him down.
It's legal in American football to knock
out men.
Oh, yeah, in American football, that's
practically all we do.
I have faith in you, Captain.
Be right back.
American! Fence!
Fence! Move!
Dammit! They got through!
Captain, they got past the defense.
I tried to stop them. I know.
They get through. They get to the
castle.
I know, Private. Calm down.
We got forces above on the hill.
Lieutenant Bass has most men in the
gateway.
We just got... So if I get up in that
watchtower, we can get a bit of a
crossfire. All right.
We'll cover you. Lock the door.
Go, go, go.
How many rounds?
Fuck, two more.
I got three.
Let's make them count.
Looks like they're coming from the east
side.
They can't breach the fence.
Why is that bad?
We have to keep them at arm length from
the castle.
Who's guarding the north keep? Poor
Ganger's men.
Maybe we didn't get to that point at
this time.
Let's split up, but ration the ammo.
Heal shots only.
Hit the gatehouse now!
Oberfuhrer Bockmann, the front gate is
open.
Jochen, assemble the men.
We are taking Castle Eter.
Everybody into the castle, now!
Take no soldier prisoners.
Execute them, regardless of their
surrender.
Prisoners of no value are being executed
and killed as well.
Yes, my Oberfhrer. Quickly, 45 the
windows.
I've been locking the doors. More
reinforcements.
How many doors are here?
Twelve. Twelve.
Lieutenant, how much ammo we got?
Check it, Captain.
Captain!
Are you okay?
I'm fine, sir.
You should sit down.
I'll bring some tea. I said I'm fine,
goddammit. I can still fight.
Captain.
On hand, we got about three more belts
and six more boxes.
Not a lot.
Is there any ammo left in the castle?
What about the armory? There are
supposed to be some weapons stored
Armory? Yes.
Yes? Yes, we have an armory. We do?
Of course.
You are prisoners. We were guards.
And you did a thing to tell us about
this.
Bash. Kurt, where is that armory?
It's been a long time ago.
I was never... I think it was by the
officer quarters, but... He's stalling.
knows where it is. He's just pretending
he doesn't. I'm here.
Helping, aren't I?
Oh, you're helping, huh?
They breached the castle walls.
Now we're just stuck here as they pick
us off. Are you really helping us or
Nazi brothers?
We are not stuck here.
Water is coming in with reinforcements.
That was hours ago. No one is coming.
You don't know that.
And where is Sandor? She would know what
to do.
Andre.
He's right.
They would have been here by now.
Okay, look, we can't fight another
battle in here. We can barely finish the
out there.
But what about Barocha?
Can't depend on Barocha.
We have to defend Castle Little
ourselves.
All right, we got to fortify the castle.
Schrader, try to remember.
Private. Andre.
Go.
Helping with the other one, too?
I'm fighting for my life, too.
Thank you.
Ask people in basement if they know any
of armory weapons.
Anything? Yes.
They made it to the ground.
Captain,
anything?
I'm sorry.
Maybe if I can search the castle.
I'll let you not. Your brother's in with
open arms. Hell no. Captain, just give
me five minutes with him. Fast, stand
down.
He'll remember.
What's next, Captain?
This castle's seen a lot of battles,
right?
Yeah. They stood here for hundreds of
years.
Not all of them were won with bullets.
Itter will not fall to the net.
We are set up around Itter.
They have nowhere to run.
Shall we commence the firing?
Berlin has broken the treaty with our
life.
The war is officially over?
There will be tribunals by the victors
of this war.
There will be strict retribution on us.
No.
We don't stop.
Inside Kessel Ritter are high -value
prisoners that we shall use to secure
release.
And the others?
They... die.
My boys are ready.
All right.
We can't let them get through us.
We've got to be prepared to fight in the
castle and beyond. No matter what, we
do not let them get in the basement.
Kitchen.
What? What?
The pantry.
Pantry!
I'll go.
What are you doing?
It's here.
It's here.
What is?
This.
I had no idea this was here.
Better late than never.
So, it begins.
First squad, advance!
I'm out!
Jordan, aim the 88 at the entrance, now!
Aim the 88 at the entrance.
Get the second wave ready! We go in with
the path!
88 is in place.
They're aiming for the door! Take cover!
Ready!
Aim!
The Americans!
Yorkers! Turn to 881!
I am trying, but the Americans don't
put.
Don't worry about that.
I want to dance now.
I can.
Third Reich does not surrender.
The Third Reich will not surrender.
They are here.
They're here! They're here!
He did it!
Borotrov wins again!
You did it!
You did it!
Andre, I made it.
It's over?
Yes, my love.
Is it really over? It's really over,
yes.
Your parents?
They are German?
Grandparents.
Yeah, came in in the 1800s. Ah, so you
know.
Not all Germans are not. If only my
wife's family felt the same. They came
the Mayflower.
Ah, also comprised with European
immigrants.
Hey, that's right.
You don't use that one.
You'll be fine.
Thank you.
It was an honor serving by your side.
No.
The honor was mine.
Ah, okay.
Be well, Jean -Pierre.
Be well.
He's quite the officer.
Glad he was on our side.
He's one of the finest irons, sir.
Along with you.
How's the arm?
Thanks, Captain.
I'm fine.
What a way to finish out this war, huh?
I'm just glad it's over.
Hey, come on.
I'll buy you a drink.
Drell army, they enter the city.
Mein Fuhrer, Reichsleiter Goebbels would
like to meet with you.
Slow down, Herr Heidler. You're making
me nervous.
Nervous?
We're concerned you will lose to me
again.
Probably.
Heidler, is it true?
Is this everything?
Yes, it is. Get me those papers.
Commander Heidly, is the car ready?
Yes.
You're leaving?
And the other guards?
I'm the only one left.
What about your prisoners?
You can't just abandon us.
You and the rest of the prisoners are
released and free to go.
To go where?
Hitler might be dead, but as far as I
know, the German army has not yet
surrendered. How are we supposed to go
back to France?
You two are former prime ministers and
highly decorated First World War
soldiers. You led France and refused to
back down Hitler first in baby Europe.
But I'm sure you can figure out how to
lead a castle full of your people
the Germans.
Make sure everything's destroyed.
Understood. And leave.
Move!
If Wimmer left us, then we are
completely unprotected.
Wimmer is scared.
Well, let's tell all the others.
And we are now on our own.
Hitler. I'm sorry, Andrei. I'm sorry.
Looks like dear Hitler has the vent,
huh?
Andrei, we have to gather all the rest
of prisoners.
What happened?
You were right.
Hitler is dead.
Run, you coward!
Run back to your dead Fuhrer!
Andrei!
Lower your voice, please.
Why? Why shouldn't we celebrate our
captain's death?
These are marvelous news. We are free!
No, Ante, we are not. Not yet.
Audrey, the war is not officially over.
The Nazis are without a leader.
You can cut the head of a poisonous
snake, but that doesn't mean the venom
suddenly loses its potency.
Christine is right.
We can wait.
So do we do here? Shall we sit and look
over the walls who comes first out of
the forest?
Americans or the Nazis?
Do we flee and hope the Nazis don't see
us?
There are over 100 of us here.
Are the Americans yet here?
In Tyrol?
I ran into one.
What? And you didn't tell us?
And for what reasons should I tell you?
Edward.
We should find that American.
Maybe they can help. How?
To aid us in the Nazis' attack, or even
to help us leave.
Anything.
I will go.
I will go.
You, Andre? Yes.
It would be one of my many errands in
the market.
I'm a chef. It's what I do. Nobody would
question me.
Hey, I'm not going to die if there are
just few days left in the war. And if I
am, it is not going to be because I
accepted my fate lying down. It would be
because I fought for my freedom.
Brave man.
Right.
Right.
General would only forget the number of
Germans under his command.
General Ford said that the number of
Germans spread forward numbered perhaps
between two and four hundred thousand.
So now we approach the end of war in
Europe today for the American armies and
the Allied forces.
This could mean that very soon all our
boys will be out of danger.
Clear!
Clear!
Thank you, General. Nice with the Luger,
Captain.
This war, absolutely.
What is it?
A little bit of home.
I don't know why we're still doing this.
Cross disappeared the moment Hitler
died.
Don't trust him.
Germans?
I thought you said your grandpa was
German.
Nazis. There's a difference.
Told you that in confidence.
Meant nothing by that, Captain.
Hell, the war's almost over.
Just waiting for a good old Uncle Sam to
say as much.
So you're thinking of thinking of the
military or going to go back to
Football.
Feels like a lifetime ago, Harry.
I'd pay to see that.
All right.
Let's pull out. Call up the men.
Time to mount up and move out, boys.
Where are you coming from?
Oberfhrer, SS Obersturmfhrer Riemann
has abandoned his post at Castle
Ytter. The guards are leaving.
And you fled like cowards.
Handler? Sir, the radios are down. We're
trying to reach help to contain the
prisoners.
So, this is the reconnaissance mission.
The famous gas liter.
How many prisoners remain?
Around 100, sir.
And they've been kept alive during the
duration of the war?
As per our orders from the Reich
Templary.
Yeah.
High -value prisoners.
And who is there?
Two French prime ministers, two war
commanders, also from France.
Jean Bourotra.
French, I'm bad.
Jean Bourotra?
The Tnitard?
Yes, sir.
Yeah, yeah. I watched him play at the
Germans International.
in 28.
He defeated us.
So, Menning Heidler, you abandoned your
post and
left these high -value prisoners alone?
Not you left these high -value prisoners
alone!
We proceed to catch the leader.
How
long?
Morning.
Maybe even earlier.
We need reinforcements.
Andrei is seen to that.
And if he fails...
Remember Captain Schrader? Of course I
do.
One of the numerous guards here at Iter.
He's now part of the resistance.
So you want to bring him back here to
Iter? But to what end?
Okay. I have informed the others.
Thank you, my love.
Edouard isn't wrong.
Captain Schrader is an enemy.
He's part of the resistance.
And he is willing to fight for all of
us.
And who will you send out to the
wilderness?
I'll go.
You are not young.
And this is not like the hunger.
I will go with him.
Two old men venturing out to fight
Nazis.
Not too old.
And not to fight Nazis.
To convince...
Former Nazis to fight for us.
Time is running out.
So if we are not back by nightfall,
please, Christine, hide everyone in the
basement.
So maybe if they come, they will think
that we abandoned the castle.
You are abandoning the castle.
Christine.
Christine.
Christine.
If I could think of... Any other way?
I don't want you to die.
I'm doing this because I don't want you
or anyone else to die.
No, you're doing this to make amends for
past discrepancies.
No, there is no repentance for me.
This is just about saving us until the
end of the war, and this is so close.
We have suffered too much over the
years, and I don't want to lose us.
Thank you, my love.
Your business?
I'm a chef at Castellitter. I'm on my
way to the town to get supplies.
Andre.
I apologize. I didn't recognize you, my
friend.
It's good to see you, my friend.
And you.
Sorry, Andre.
It's complicated.
We can't really trust anybody.
Could you before?
This is different.
This is desperation.
Everyone is panicked.
Andre, smoke?
Yes, please.
You picked a good day to come into town
today.
The bakery has many loaves of fresh
bread.
Actually, that's not why I come to town
today.
Let me guess.
You heard the Nazis are making their way
towards Hitler.
So you come asking for help from your
favorite German resistance fighter.
Actually, I was on my way to ask
Americans for help, but if you can...
are slaughtering our resistance fighters
outside of Tirol.
But I don't see any Americans helping us
there.
But maybe the idea of a Frenchman
actually begging them for help might
them.
Maybe. Maybe.
But we do need help.
From the Americans.
And from you, if you can spare any.
We need the Americans.
I know where they are.
And I'm going to help.
Anything to take down more Nazis, come.
Andre.
Welcome to the Resistance.
Thank you Joseph.
Thank you.
Wait.
No word from HQ, sir?
That's the army, so we hurry up and
wait.
You should seriously consider making a
life in the army when this is all over.
I'm not a lifer.
When I get home, I'm staying home with
my beautiful wife.
Ah, dude.
Living the American dream, huh?
That's what we're doing it for, right?
Think your in -laws are going to come
around?
I mean, you're a war hero.
I was working on my trauma offensive
before the war started.
I know, but the war's almost over.
You never did tell me why they hate you
so much. I know, right? Such a lovable
guy.
Crap! Take cover!
Look at that.
Have a white flag.
Think they're here to surrender?
Can we trust them?
Probably not.
Cover me.
Remove shielding.
There we are. Put your hands up.
American.
I am Major Joseph Gangl, and I would
like to surrender the German garrison in
Vogel. A major?
For which side?
I said for which side?
Your side.
Yes.
Yes. And I am the prisoner of the castle
eater?
Exit the vehicle with your hands up.
Just listen to what I have to say.
Another word and I shoot you both right
now.
search him
gotten
found this is in her coat pocket
We are political prisoners and our lives
are in danger. We cannot hope to
survive on our own. Please help.
What is this? Who are these people?
They are French prime ministers and
military officers.
They were willing to help prisoners at
the castle later.
Major, the war is over.
Nazis will be surrendering any day now.
Not all Nazis would feel that way,
Captain.
Some would rather go out fighting than
surrender.
And they will take as many innocent
lives with them as they can.
You're one of them.
I am German, but I'm not a Nazi.
I thought all Germans were Nazi.
Not all.
Not me.
We are the resistance fighters.
But wearing a Nazi uniform.
Captain, in this town, it's too
dangerous not to.
We need your help.
We need the Americans.
It is only a matter of hour before Nazis
come to Iter.
How do you know this?
I overheard... What?
I overheard from the SS
Oberstgruppenfhrer.
He was talking that while he was
assassinating one of our guards from
means to take the famous prisoner's
hostage and kill the rest.
Your boy's got some more fight left in
you. You got it, Captain. Yes, sir. He's
right behind you.
And if the Nazis don't come, you can
stay at Iter until the war is officially
over. And I'm the cook over there. I
will make a marvelous meal for you. For
and your comrades.
Huh?
Sounds like a big price to pay for a
fancy dinner in a bed.
Brad Pollock? Yeah, Captain?
Go ahead and call HQ. See if this is of
interest to the higher -ups. I haven't
made up my mind yet.
We're not doing anything without the
okay from Uncle Sam.
Yes, sir.
Captain Schrader.
This is Monsieur Renault and Monsieur
Daladier.
Captain Schrader.
Prime Minister Renault.
Prime Minister Daladier.
Is everything all right?
Captain Schrader may be coming.
Don't call me Captain.
Excuse me, Kurt. Old habits.
Forgive me.
Thank you.
So, SS Obersturmfhrer Wimmer left you
completely undefended.
Why am I not surprised?
Can you help us?
I'm a defector.
A man without a home.
If I'm discovered by the Nazis, I will
be killed.
If I'm discovered by the Americans, no
doubt they will arrest me for war crime.
Therefore, I fight for no one.
But in your heart, you know what's
right.
Right or wrong does not matter in war.
But you know, Kurt, why abandon hundred
prisoners and left them to die at hands
of some of most cruel men that ever
walked on the earth?
I have information.
That's it.
Tell us.
The Americans are outside heroes.
Approach them, not me.
They are strong.
They have guns and supplies.
They will make you and prisoners of
Ytter safe.
But we already know that.
We even sent Andrei to meet them. So
what do you want of me?
If Nazis come, you'll be there to show
that you are in command of prison.
And perhaps you can keep them away for
good.
They are desperate men, looking for any
leverage they can by holding all of you
hostage.
They will not be so easily swayed.
Yes, but you would give us time to fight
them.
Sounds like I would be in the crossfire.
Yes, but everyone is going to be in
crossfire.
Gentlemen.
It will be an honor.
to defend prisoners of war one last time
against the tyranny of the Third Reich.
Thank you.
Thank you, Colonel.
Sieg Heil!
Sieg Heil!
The death of our warfare does not mean
the end of the war.
or our struggle.
Ours is a thousand -year Reich.
No man, not even our fear, is greater
than the
fatherland itself.
Should it truly present us with such
prizes
as prime ministers, then we take them
alive.
as bargaining chips.
But should they prove of no value?
We shall hit Getalita before sunrise.
John, where are the others?
Safely downstairs.
And the food?
Food, penicillin, blanket.
We are ready.
They are here.
Good. Let's go.
Paul.
What, mon ami?
It's good to see you again.
As well with you, Paula and Christine.
Captain, Herr Borotra.
Well, let's kick those Nazi bastards one
more time so you can get back on the
court.
Indeed.
Let's get him inside. I'm afraid we
don't have a lot of time left.
Andrei, is he back?
No.
Have you sent any word yet about the
Americans?
Nothing.
Hey, Val!
I'm looking at this map.
How long do you think it's going to take
us to stop a war that will round up
this Austrian resistance?
It's going to put us out more than 30
minutes, sir.
All right, because I'm not expecting
reinforcements for another few hours
otherwise. Use some extra bodies.
Roger that, Captain.
Sergeant, what do you say?
Can't see anything.
Spot someone. Now we got plenty of heat.
Still these goddamn Nazis, the war's
over. Where'd they hit from?
Over there, sir!
You see now?
You see they're going to attack you
there!
They're the Waffen -SS.
Hitler's most elite and fanatical
soldiers.
Well, they're dead now.
They're like what?
They're not just one. They're many.
This is a big job.
They're gathering troops.
Maybe we could cut them off before they
hit Eder.
Maybe.
But they're attacking from multiple
directions.
I heard they're commanding in Tyrol.
Maybe we go to Tyrol first.
Maybe. I'm sorry, but if we focus on
just one city, they're still attacking
multiple directions. Yeah, and then we
just wait until they amass some large
battalion as they attack Iter?
No, thank you.
And then we attack Tirol.
What?
Well, you would like that, wouldn't you?
That just leaves us with one.
The people of Tirol need protection.
I'm not protecting Germans.
In case you weren't asleep for the last
five years, we're at war with the
Germans. The people of the hall are not
Germans or Nazis.
Okay. They're Austrian.
Okay, okay, okay. Bash, stand down. I
gotta think.
Americans help Germans.
We could be facing a full battalion of
Nazis at Eder. If we don't get
reinforcements, we're done.
American reinforcements.
Not ex -Nazis. I'll take Betty Boop if
she knows how to shoot a gun. Well, at
least she's American.
Let me go to Tyrell and take care of the
tanks.
We can get to it another way.
We could be dead by then, though.
The command wants us hit at her by the
night.
Besides, maybe the Nazis think the final
battle's in Tyrell, not at her.
I'm going to send a couple of the tanks.
Captain, that's just... It's my order.
Major I'm sending two tanks with you on
the world But I need you to get back
here within an hour with as many
Reinforcements as you could find and
of the tanks leave the other in to roll
just in case I'll find as many
reinforcements as I can and bring them
to you.
I promise And thank you captain without
those things the city would fall
even more assets with attack ether after
they've ravaged the city
The other ladies and I made this.
Fly it high, and I promise we will not
be mistaken for Germans.
And Germans will know we are not going
down without fight.
Thank you, my love.
We're back, Paul.
France is back.
We will raise it now.
What do we have here?
Dozens of pistols, all left behind by
the guards.
Not as much as we hoped for, but it's
going to last the night.
Gentlemen.
Captain Schroeder.
Did you get some rest?
Yes, thank you.
Am I to understand that Monsieur Nazi
Officer is here to assume responsibility
of ensuring the safety of all of us?
That is my sole responsibility for the
reminder of the war.
Captain Schrader, I hereby offer you the
command of Castelter.
I accept.
Therefore, gentlemen, allow me to see
what we have to work with. Yes, of
Captain.
Bring the weapons.
If you don't mind.
Paul, wait.
I need to speak to you.
I know what you're about to say.
Why do you have to risk your life as
well?
Because Andre might not even reach the
Americans.
It should be my duty to help any way I
can.
And certainly you can understand my
position.
But what can I do?
Well, stay with prisoners and make sure
that they are safe.
No.
What do you mean, no?
Before we fell in love, you hired me to
write your memoir.
How can I do that if I'm sitting in the
cellar?
Besides, if we are so outnumbered, maybe
I should be at your side to fight with
you.
Christine. I don't want to give those
damn Nazis the satisfaction of having my
back turned to them.
I am staying.
I see you are not going to change your
mind.
Good.
I'm happy you see that.
My brave Christine.
Stop!
How long before we reach them?
The 88 can provide.
Empty the fire from the ridge while we
breach the entrance.
If we skip dinner, we can get there by
morning.
That puts us ahead of schedule.
So, we skip dinner.
We don't know how many of the guards
remain, but we don't have any trouble
capturing 70 -year -old French
politicians.
and family members.
Test the perimeter.
Find a weak point.
We need to take whatever government
officials are there alive.
Everyone else is to be executed.
With the ravine surrounding the castle,
the only easy way enemy has is through
the main gate.
We should have heard from Andre by now
if he made it through.
Don't think about it.
The Americans.
They're here. It's all theirs.
Don't approach.
Americans.
You're the prisoners of this
castle? Yes.
I am Prime Minister Edouard Daladier. He
is Prime Minister Paul Reynaud.
She is Christine Mabir, Jean Bortra,
and...
The other are inside the castle.
We didn't find the war wrong, boys.
What does it mean?
Well, while my friends were getting shot
up and blown up, you guys were living
high on the hog.
You got any room service here?
How dare you?
We have suffered.
We have seen our loved ones die, and we
have seen our country overwhelmed by
Nazis. How dare you?
Now, now, apologize for my friend here.
He was just making an observation,
that's all.
I'm Captain Jack Lee. You met Bas.
That's Private Pollock and the rest of
the team owned by Jenny.
Jenny?
Tank.
You boys must be famous.
Please, come on in.
Pleasure is ours.
Boys have been on rashes for a few
weeks.
Feels good to have a home -cooked meal.
Can I get you some tea?
Maybe later.
You got any Budweiser?
I'd kill for a Bud right now.
Weird.
Come on, this is German, right?
Of course we are.
Hard to tell the difference with all the
Nazis running by.
I'll go search the opposite quarters.
Sometimes they hid explorations of the
Adair. Thank you, my love.
And so, Captain Lee, you said you've
been hit outside of Tyrol?
Encountered a small squad of weapon SS.
I think there's at least one large
company headed this way.
He used to be a prison guard here.
Used to be.
You a Nazi?
No.
Are you?
Oh, no one is a Nazi here.
We are fighting Nazis.
Is it clear?
We are all on the same side.
Understand?
Sure. We understand.
We've been fighting you Germans for
about five years now.
Excuse us if we seem a little
suspicious.
Your people killed a lot of our friends.
Come on, Captain. What's one less crowd
in this war?
Lieutenant, no need to get all hasty.
Just keep an eye on him.
My friends have claimed that it bleeds
just the same as yours.
Come on, stop it.
Today, we are all on the same side.
No. We are here to protect each other.
We are here to protect each other.
And God will know who is right or who is
wrong.
But we will know that tomorrow, not
tonight.
Understood?
My apologies. You're right.
Bass?
All right, Captain.
Old habits.
So, gentlemen.
Can you tell us if Andre is still alive?
Oh, uh, cook.
Uh, yeah, he's fine.
Yeah, him and Major Gangle are out
rounding up troops in the war.
Major Gangle?
Good, good.
I don't trust it.
I don't trust them.
Days away from maturity, the war's
almost over.
Right now, war's still going on.
The man wants us here, so we're here.
You got a problem with that, Lieutenant?
No, sir.
Think that'll be good enough, Captain?
Yeah, it's perfect, Bill.
Thank you, sir.
Where's my other tank?
The Major here gave it to the goddamn
Nazis.
Let me explain.
You damn well better.
I told you to leave one tank in town,
not two.
Sir, there is a tank company on approach
to Orgel, sir.
Andres, I am not addressing you.
Major, where's my other tank?
I apologize for not bringing back one of
the tanks, Captain.
But as Andre was saying, a panzer
company is on its way to Vogel.
Answer the captain's question.
Where's my goddamn tank?
Stand down, Lieutenant.
Stand down!
The population of Vogel is much higher
than Datavita.
We left it there so they could defend
themselves.
Told you, gave the tank to the Nazis!
I did not! They're resistance fighters!
Quiet! Everybody!
They were Nazis.
They were being attacked by the Nazis, I
swear.
The Nazis, the common enemy.
That was not your decision to make. I
know.
I know, and I will take full
responsibility for it.
This war is almost over, sir. Yeah, you
absolutely will take full responsibility
for it.
Are we good?
No, we're not.
But we'll make it work.
That's quite good for me.
Can I show you something?
Sure.
Andre.
Major Gengel.
Shada, I'm glad you made it.
And you, Major.
The game does for hell.
We have our orders, Bass.
Captain!
You should know that I saw two anti
-tank guns posted outside of here.
One southeast, and the other one to the
west.
Yes, we observed the acid troops coming
toward the castle from north, south, and
west.
All right, let's get everybody in the
castle. It's time we had ourselves a
little chat.
Come on, now.
Let's go.
Phil, stay out here with Denny.
Got it, sir.
Take care of him.
And flank the west side of the entrance.
Yes, Oberfhrer.
Flank the east.
We hold the rest of the troops here
while we see how they react to our
teams.
Direct fire to the front of the castle.
Pass.
I want no artillery fire.
Yeah.
Attention,
please.
Quiet, please.
In a short time,
this castle is going to be attacked by
Nazi forces.
They should have left the castle.
Well, I agree with them.
You French like to run away, right?
Maybe this was mistake.
No, we got this.
My lieutenant won't speak out of turn
again. Isn't that right, Bass?
Yeah, sir, Captain.
My name is Captain Jack Lee, Jr. of the
United States Army.
You already met Bass.
I apologize for my friend's behavior.
But we've suffered casualties, too.
The Nazis may have not tried to take our
country.
They have taken from us.
A generation of men.
We'll not go home.
We suffered just like you.
Now, I'll start with the good news.
Adolf Hitler is dead.
Here's the word, though.
As I speak, there are German and Allied
forces communicating over a peace
treaty. That could happen any day now.
Well, someone asked if we should leave.
Sure.
Leave.
Go.
But you will be running into a battalion
of Nazis on their way to this castle.
And their goal is to capture highly
evaluated prisoners, like your prime
ministers here, and kill the rest of
you.
They will use those they capture as
hostages to get a better sentence
when the Nazis are arrested.
So... This is what we need to do. We
need to organize ourselves.
We, Americans, and the resistance will
be the front line,
first line of defense.
And for the rest of you, start
barricading the doors and the entrances.
Keep yourself safe down here.
If we don't make it, maybe you will...
by just hiding and again again
the war will be over soon
started everybody time to show these
nazis what this
war meant to you
What am I missing? What am I doing?
They're waiting for you.
Let's see what the response is.
We won't speak on the fact of the
matter.
All right, very good.
Let's give them a response to not give
away the whole farm. I said we're doing
our communications. Can we take any
pictures, Bill?
All right. Maybe Cody.
Keep driving. Let's cover and size it
out. Yes, ma 'am.
Hey, what are you doing? Get back in the
cellar.
Hey, some of this is all a fight, dude.
I order to keep you safe and protect the
inner.
But you cannot do both.
What is that, a pistol?
You need to hike out of the weapon. This
ain't cops and robbers.
Get back in the cellar now.
We have to be here!
Go! Go pick up from the gatehouse! Go
back!
Clear!
Yes,
Captain! Grab a couple of your guys! Get
to that top battlement! Top battlement
right away, sir! Right, you two with me
on my six!
Let's go, go, go! Fuck!
I wouldn't be surprised if the Nazis
came up to East and begged them to reach
the Western Wall.
Send some of your best marksmen to the
towers in the outhouse windows.
Yes, Captain.
Okay,
grab a couple of boys. Go check it out.
Yes, sir.
Come with me.
Bugs keep taking small arms cars.
It'll be just fine, Jenny.
The skirmish teams have withdrawn.
We have found only one tank.
One. Impossible.
No. Check again.
Yes, Oberfhrer.
That was a hell of a light show, Bill.
Thank you, sir.
Unfortunately, last burst of machine gun
fire took out my radio and all the
comms.
Everyone okay? Any casualties?
All good, Captain. How about you?
All good.
Jenny's radio didn't make it.
How did that happen?
A crowd with a machine gun.
Captain, as we suspected, we spotted a
couple of SS troops working their way up
the ravine.
But we were able to push them back.
Me and as you suspected, Captain. It was
a good spot.
Keep watch for me.
Yes, Captain.
Everyone okay?
My men witnessed a movement on the west
ridge towards the curtain wall.
But they never fired on us.
No doubt they saw some of the boys up
there and thought better of it.
You can thank Captain Schrader for that
call.
Shame Schrader didn't change sides a
long time ago.
How you doing on ammunition?
Not so good.
We're gonna have to start being more
conservative with it. Can't afford to
out random suppressive fire unless it's
critical.
Every bullet needs a head.
Yes, Captain.
Captain!
Huh?
What is it, Major?
What am I looking at?
It's the 17th anti -sponsor and idea
division.
I went for a battle, my friend.
They lead troops.
The best of the best.
Atoll, Atoll. We are in position.
There is only one enemy tank guarding
the ship.
One tank confirmed.
Only one American tent and the entrance.
That's it?
Yes, Bobo Furo.
That isn't a fortune.
It's an in for weary travelers.
We will destroy the tank immediately.
Once that's finished, we'll assault from
every conceivable angle.
Guess or it'll be mine by this evening.
Go!
Hey, guys, see something?
Is that artillery?
Take cover!
Fire!
Ross, you hear that?
Bill! Bill!
Almost done!
You broke up!
Come on, Lieutenant.
Get over here.
Fuck, I need you down here!
Are you okay?
I'm trying to fix the radio.
What the hell happened, Captain?
Bill.
Bill's dead?
Goddamn. I need you to go to the west
side of the ravine. See if there's any
more guys over there. We gotta know if
we need to send more of our own.
You can count on me, Captain.
Oh,
shit!
It was where did we tell you everything
over there you remember yes
Captain
there
were two
Captain, all we want to do is to save
our country.
I know, I know. I was wrong.
We fight together.
Thank you, Captain.
What's the plan?
Find the Nazi and put a bullet in him.
Captain!
Lieutenant, you're in charge.
Yes, sir.
It's okay. Catch your breath.
There's a small squad up on the west
ravine.
And I think they're gonna still try to
make their way up to our east walls.
How many?
I'm not sure.
A handful at best.
It's okay. It's fine.
I can go back.
Nope. Nope. You did fine. Thank you,
Private.
Now, grab some men, get up to our
vantage point, and keep them crowds
Roger that, sir.
What did Pollock have to report, sir?
Still a few guys had an E.
I said Pollock keep my pay.
Captain, I just have a few bullets left.
Use your ammo more sparingly, my friend.
We'll take a shot if you know you have
it. I'm low, too. How much longer can we
keep this up, huh?
Keep it up as long as we have to, till
the 142nd arrives.
Captain, we never gave them the quarters
before Jenny's radio went out.
They're not coming?
No one's coming?
Maybe. I don't know.
Oh, they're going to kill us all.
And they?
They go back to the cellar.
Come on, Andre. Fight with us. With
America. With resistance.
With those Germans.
Or go to the cellar and stay there.
No.
I'll fight.
I'll fight.
Good man.
Look at me.
You need a messenger.
You need a runner.
Someone to run up down the road, flag
these forces.
Without the radio, we can't call for
help.
Too risky. I need every man here.
I'll go.
See, I'm not much of a shot.
But I can run.
I've won Wimbledon twice. You know why?
Because I can pitch up the court like no
one else.
Just give me the American uniform.
I'll dress up, so that way when I meet
them, they're gonna know that I'm
the truth.
Okay. Lieutenant.
Find someone to swap uniforms with him.
Yes, sir
There's nothing around to pick up the
targets before you shoot.
There's one now.
Captain, tell me about Morano.
Not now.
We're almost out. Just keep using your
shots wisely.
Captain, I just want you to know that
I'm... Not now, Major.
Talk about it after the war.
I can use you in the gatehouse with
Andres and a couple of his guys.
Right. Let's go. Guys, let's go.
We're going to check on the others.
Roger that, sir.
Put the 88 on the outermost $0 .20.
Let's go, let's go!
The Brokes make it off past the
perimeter?
Yes, Captain.
Anyone cross their sights over here,
Captain?
I've sent a few to join the Fuhrer.
But given there's no cover, one is
either a fool or a martyr.
How much ammo you got left?
Getting down to it.
Want me to send a couple guys over here
to assist you?
I'm fine, Captain.
Thank you.
I'll leave you to it, then.
hit us with a few of the 88s.
Yeah, they're probably going to pop one
off every once in a while to keep us
honest.
Trying to take the castle intact.
Yeah, so they can later defend
themselves and use the prisoners as
chips.
What is it, Captain?
Pollock said they only sent a couple
guys up the ravine, but I think they
the company up.
What do you think they're up to?
They're going to hit us from the north.
Son of a bitch!
They sent a few guys to see how many
were there, and now they know it's just
of us. They'll cut us right there.
They'll just bomb us.
Cover here.
Renaud, come on.
Make it the bow!
Cover.
Major, they're breaching the north keep.
Okay.
So, Captain, there are three people
left.
Major! Major!
Oh, no. God damn it. No.
No, no, no, no.
Why'd you do that?
keep up the assault from the eastern
ravine and the north while we prepare
advance from the front
Don't tell the captain. Listen, of
course. It's right now. They're about to
piece things to bed.
Go, go, go!
It's not your fault, Paul.
What's going on? You okay?
Well, not really.
Captain Lee, there's something they
didn't tell you.
You are looking at the last French prime
ministers.
They lost France to the Nazis.
And now they have no home.
Nazis are going to kill us.
Well, even if we survive, France will
not forgive us.
We have lost our country.
And now we are going to lose our
country.
You know, I don't know much about
politics.
But I'm sure you had your reasons to
surrender.
He's been always looking for a way to
forgive himself.
I'm not going to forgive myself, Edward.
You can always come to America. Sounds
like you like our cowboy movies.
Hey, I'm not giving up.
Probably got enough ammo for maybe one
more large assault.
We have knives.
We have some gardening tools.
Right. We improvised.
They're not going to win this battle.
Yes, the knives are in the kitchen hall,
and the gardening tools are in the
table.
I hope it doesn't come down a hand -to
-hand combat, but if it does,
we'll make it work.
Lieutenant, you just throw that
touchdown pass, we'll knock him down.
It's legal in American football to knock
out men.
Oh, yeah, in American football, that's
practically all we do.
I have faith in you, Captain.
Be right back.
American! Fence!
Fence! Move!
Dammit! They got through!
Captain, they got past the defense.
I tried to stop them. I know.
They get through. They get to the
castle.
I know, Private. Calm down.
We got forces above on the hill.
Lieutenant Bass has most men in the
gateway.
We just got... So if I get up in that
watchtower, we can get a bit of a
crossfire. All right.
We'll cover you. Lock the door.
Go, go, go.
How many rounds?
Fuck, two more.
I got three.
Let's make them count.
Looks like they're coming from the east
side.
They can't breach the fence.
Why is that bad?
We have to keep them at arm length from
the castle.
Who's guarding the north keep? Poor
Ganger's men.
Maybe we didn't get to that point at
this time.
Let's split up, but ration the ammo.
Heal shots only.
Hit the gatehouse now!
Oberfuhrer Bockmann, the front gate is
open.
Jochen, assemble the men.
We are taking Castle Eter.
Everybody into the castle, now!
Take no soldier prisoners.
Execute them, regardless of their
surrender.
Prisoners of no value are being executed
and killed as well.
Yes, my Oberfhrer. Quickly, 45 the
windows.
I've been locking the doors. More
reinforcements.
How many doors are here?
Twelve. Twelve.
Lieutenant, how much ammo we got?
Check it, Captain.
Captain!
Are you okay?
I'm fine, sir.
You should sit down.
I'll bring some tea. I said I'm fine,
goddammit. I can still fight.
Captain.
On hand, we got about three more belts
and six more boxes.
Not a lot.
Is there any ammo left in the castle?
What about the armory? There are
supposed to be some weapons stored
Armory? Yes.
Yes? Yes, we have an armory. We do?
Of course.
You are prisoners. We were guards.
And you did a thing to tell us about
this.
Bash. Kurt, where is that armory?
It's been a long time ago.
I was never... I think it was by the
officer quarters, but... He's stalling.
knows where it is. He's just pretending
he doesn't. I'm here.
Helping, aren't I?
Oh, you're helping, huh?
They breached the castle walls.
Now we're just stuck here as they pick
us off. Are you really helping us or
Nazi brothers?
We are not stuck here.
Water is coming in with reinforcements.
That was hours ago. No one is coming.
You don't know that.
And where is Sandor? She would know what
to do.
Andre.
He's right.
They would have been here by now.
Okay, look, we can't fight another
battle in here. We can barely finish the
out there.
But what about Barocha?
Can't depend on Barocha.
We have to defend Castle Little
ourselves.
All right, we got to fortify the castle.
Schrader, try to remember.
Private. Andre.
Go.
Helping with the other one, too?
I'm fighting for my life, too.
Thank you.
Ask people in basement if they know any
of armory weapons.
Anything? Yes.
They made it to the ground.
Captain,
anything?
I'm sorry.
Maybe if I can search the castle.
I'll let you not. Your brother's in with
open arms. Hell no. Captain, just give
me five minutes with him. Fast, stand
down.
He'll remember.
What's next, Captain?
This castle's seen a lot of battles,
right?
Yeah. They stood here for hundreds of
years.
Not all of them were won with bullets.
Itter will not fall to the net.
We are set up around Itter.
They have nowhere to run.
Shall we commence the firing?
Berlin has broken the treaty with our
life.
The war is officially over?
There will be tribunals by the victors
of this war.
There will be strict retribution on us.
No.
We don't stop.
Inside Kessel Ritter are high -value
prisoners that we shall use to secure
release.
And the others?
They... die.
My boys are ready.
All right.
We can't let them get through us.
We've got to be prepared to fight in the
castle and beyond. No matter what, we
do not let them get in the basement.
Kitchen.
What? What?
The pantry.
Pantry!
I'll go.
What are you doing?
It's here.
It's here.
What is?
This.
I had no idea this was here.
Better late than never.
So, it begins.
First squad, advance!
I'm out!
Jordan, aim the 88 at the entrance, now!
Aim the 88 at the entrance.
Get the second wave ready! We go in with
the path!
88 is in place.
They're aiming for the door! Take cover!
Ready!
Aim!
The Americans!
Yorkers! Turn to 881!
I am trying, but the Americans don't
put.
Don't worry about that.
I want to dance now.
I can.
Third Reich does not surrender.
The Third Reich will not surrender.
They are here.
They're here! They're here!
He did it!
Borotrov wins again!
You did it!
You did it!
Andre, I made it.
It's over?
Yes, my love.
Is it really over? It's really over,
yes.
Your parents?
They are German?
Grandparents.
Yeah, came in in the 1800s. Ah, so you
know.
Not all Germans are not. If only my
wife's family felt the same. They came
the Mayflower.
Ah, also comprised with European
immigrants.
Hey, that's right.
You don't use that one.
You'll be fine.
Thank you.
It was an honor serving by your side.
No.
The honor was mine.
Ah, okay.
Be well, Jean -Pierre.
Be well.
He's quite the officer.
Glad he was on our side.
He's one of the finest irons, sir.
Along with you.
How's the arm?
Thanks, Captain.
I'm fine.
What a way to finish out this war, huh?
I'm just glad it's over.
Hey, come on.
I'll buy you a drink.
