00:00I've always thought the Terranian Sea,
00:14snuggling softly against the sun-loved body of Italy,
00:17one of the great sights of the world.
00:20My favorite spot on the whole coast is the Gulf of Salerno.
00:26I'm visiting there now with a party of 25,000 Americans
00:29and 30,000 British.
00:31September is usually an excellent month to visit Salerno,
00:34but if I had my choice of years, I wouldn't pick 1943.
00:42Wherever I may go
00:46Whatever I may do
00:53Till the end of time
00:59My heart belongs to you
01:07You Connolly Wright?
01:12Yeah
01:13I'm Captain Juergens
01:16Hi
01:17Your schedule will go ashore with my group
01:18In about 15 minutes it'll be dawn
01:22Great, I'll be ready
01:23Oh
01:23Oh, Captain
01:25Can I, uh, put my weapon in your jeep?
01:28To what?
01:29My weapon, typewriter
01:31Oh, you bet
01:3315 minutes
01:34Okay
01:35My heart belongs
01:42To you
01:45Now hear this
01:49Now hear this
01:50Proceed with first phase
01:51Loading plan able
01:53Proceed with first phase
01:54Let's go
01:55Let's go
01:56Let's go
01:57Let's go
02:27Let's go
02:57Let's go
03:27Cut this wire
03:27We can't do it with our hands
03:31Okay, we gotta get through it
03:33Hey, typewriter
03:51I'm moving around
03:52That gunner didn't go blind, you know
03:54Easy, easy does it
04:00Don't fight it, buddy
04:01Come on, keep cool
04:03All right, go on through
04:15Easy
04:15This is all I need
04:21Pulling pen pushes off the wire
04:24Stay right here, buddy
04:27There's nothing up ahead
04:29To write home about
04:30Hey, fella, what's your name?
04:36After the landing at Salerno
04:49After the landing at Salerno
04:49In the fall of Naples
04:50Our advance up the Italian boot
04:52Has been slowed to a crawl
04:53By heavy winter rains
04:54Rains that once brought a harvest
04:57Of lush purple grapes
04:58And sweet ripe corn
04:59Now leaves swollen rivers
05:01And mud
05:01We walk in it, sleep in it
05:03Try to drive through it
05:04The Italian boot is a very muddy boot this year
05:07Hold it, Wyshevsky
05:18It's no use
05:18You better go ahead
05:24And try and catch a lift
05:26I might be stuck here all winter
05:27Okay, Wyshevsky
05:30Thanks for the lift
05:32I'll see you in Rome
05:32Hey, San Pietro
05:35Hey, you're going to San Pietro
05:37Hey, you're going to San Pietro
05:43I'm trying to get
05:45Hey, I'm trying to get to San Pietro
05:49Give me a lift
05:50Hey, Connolly
05:53Don't forget how to spell the last name
05:55It's Wyshevsky
05:56W-Z-I-E-C-E-W-S-K-I
06:01Thanks for the lift
06:03What's the matter, D'Angelo?
06:07Are you hungry?
06:08You see that?
06:09That's from you
06:10That's tomato sauce
06:10You had on your big fat thumb
06:12Tastes pretty good, though
06:14You one of those war correspondents?
06:17Yeah
06:18It'll meet our new CO, Captain Benedict
06:21His jeep got stuck, too
06:23Captain, I'm Connolly Wright
06:25Glad to meet you
06:26Hey, Connolly
06:27How about writing a story about me
06:28So my girl can read it?
06:29Maybe I will
06:30What's your name?
06:30D'Angelo
06:32Pete D'Angelo
06:33Handsome young Italian-American boy
06:34Drives the Jerry's from the hills single-handed
06:37While passing out cigars to the countryside
06:39How about that, Jake?
06:43Uh, didn't I see you at Salerno?
06:46Yeah
06:46Yeah, I pulled you off the wire
06:48Yeah, I didn't have a chance to thank you
06:51I, uh, think I know you from somewhere before that
06:56No, no, I, I don't think so
06:58Last thing, anybody?
07:05All right, everybody out
07:06Give a push
07:07All right, everybody out
07:09Watch your rush, soldier
07:13How are we gonna push this truck all the way to Senate?
07:18Here you throw
07:18Everybody in!
07:23Casablanca
07:27What?
07:29Did I see you in Casablanca, Jake?
07:32Look, stop playing the reporter
07:33Will you just, just mind your own business and leave people alone?
07:37I saw you someplace, or maybe it was your picture
07:39It was Casablanca, wasn't it, Jake?
07:42Okay, all right, it was Casablanca
07:44The whole army was in Casablanca
07:47Okay, everybody in!
07:51Captain, I'd like to join your unit for a while, if you don't mind
08:03All right, sure, why not? You're welcome
08:06You might not like it
08:07San Pietro figures to be a tough nut to crack
08:11I'll take my chances
08:13If that's okay with you
08:15Listen, as far as this dog face is concerned
08:19You can bring along the entire staff of the ladies' home journal
08:23The Leary Valley is a wide, flat corridor between the mountains
08:33The gateway to Rome
08:34Both roads from the south converge before the ancient village of San Pietro
08:39Our objective is obvious, and the enemy knows it
08:42San Pietro must be taken
08:44But the cost will be high
08:46The war no longer exists for me
08:49In a sense of large armies and campaigns
08:53It's a strange feeling of closing in
08:57So the world has been reduced to a small grove of olive trees
09:01Shared only by a few individuals
09:03Men who have become more important to me than anyone in the world
09:08Even though I've known them for only a few short days
09:12Captain Benedict
09:13New to his command, new to the many leads
09:17Young Gibson from Tennessee
09:20Always nearby, a radio strapped to his back
09:23The sergeant
09:24Regular army, I'm proud of it
09:27D'Angelo
09:28New Jersey-born, a natural promoter
09:31Even the lieutenant owes him money
09:34Ernie and Sam
09:37Souvenir hunters, horse traders
09:39Darn good soldiers
09:42And then
09:43There's Jake
09:45Captain
09:47This is Benedict
09:52Yes, sir, we're in position
09:53Yeah, okay
09:54Green knife, Frank
09:57Okay, take him out

10:38Oh, my God.
11:08What do you think, Captain?
11:29It looks like suicide.
11:35Yeah.
11:37Sure looks tough.
11:38Let's get rid of these coats.
11:41Yes, sir.
11:42Get the coats off.
11:44Coats off.
11:45Get those coats off.
11:47Go on.
11:52Oh, my God.
11:53Let's go.
12:23Jace, get back here.
12:28Jace!
12:30Give them cover.
12:44Let's go. Let's go. Come on. Up. Up. Up.
12:46Come on. Come on. Get over there.
12:48Come on. Up. Up. Get that stove up there. Come on. Come on.
12:53Come on.
13:23It's almost as bad as Africa.
13:31You boys seen Charlie Company?
13:37It's almost as bad as Africa.
13:41You boys seen Charlie Company?
13:45It's almost as bad as Africa.
13:53You! You, murderer!
13:59Get out of here! Get out of here!
14:19Our attacks with the Olive Grove were short-lived.
14:21Enemy artillery, mortar, and automatic weapons have forced us to hold where we can.
14:26Conley, you seen Jake?
14:28No, why?
14:30Both of you dove into the same shell hole together, and I haven't seen him since.
14:34Took off with a lieutenant.
14:36Uh-huh.
14:37Come on, side. You want to get in this?
14:38No, thanks.
14:39What do you got, Conley?
14:41Nineteen.
14:42Twenty.
14:46Don't go away mad, Gibson.
14:48No, just broke.
14:51Mind a direct question?
14:52No, shoot.
14:53Do you make these cards come out the way you want them to?
14:56Yeah.
14:57Do you?
14:58No.
14:59Well, how come you always win?
15:01You know the old saying, I'm just lucky, I guess.
15:06You hear the music, Conley? Come on, let's play.
15:09Forget it, D'Angelo.
15:11Oh, come on, don't lose heart. You win your money bank.
15:13What have I got to win it back with? I'm tapped.
15:15Your credit's good.
15:16You got a good reputation, you got a good character.
15:18You got a gold watch.
15:19You got that yesterday.
15:21How about your typewriter?
15:23Oh, be ridiculous. I need it. What am I gonna write with?
15:26You're gonna write with your typewriter.
15:27Oh, what if I lose it?
15:29I'll tell you what.
15:30I'll own it, you'll use it. I'll rent it to you for a buck a day.
15:33Thanks, anyway.
15:35I can't understand it.
15:36I made the same deal with the mess sergeant in his kitchen.
15:38It worked great.
15:40D'Angelo, you're a slob.
15:44Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.
15:48Hey, Gibson! Come on back.
15:49Come on back.
16:05I'd like to talk to you, Conley.
16:07Yeah?
16:08I'd like you to forget what happened in that shell crater this morning.
16:14That's easy. It wasn't your fault.
16:19Major?
16:23What do you mean by that?
16:24Casablanca, wasn't it, Major?
16:29Who is Jake Miller?
16:31He was a dog-faced.
16:35He got killed in my outfit.
16:38We were under continuous bombardment for 48 hours.
16:43And?
16:45And I broke.
16:47Oh, I'm not making excuses.
16:50I've died a hundred deaths for every man I lost.
16:53I sent you back to Casablanca.
16:58Yeah.
16:59Pinned down to a desk job.
17:01I picked up Miller's identity...
17:04and moved out.
17:06Yeah, I remember the story.
17:09What happened to the, uh...
17:11Major?
17:13Oh, he disappeared.
17:14Deserted?
17:16Let's say he went temporarily AWOL.
17:19They expect that of cowards.
17:30I don't know how I can help you with that.
17:35All I'm asking is that you keep quiet.
17:38Look, you make your living by shooting off your mouth.
17:41Well, don't shoot off your mouth just this once.
17:46Think of somebody else.
17:48Hey, Connolly!
17:50Connolly!
17:51Come on, oh, we need another man here.
17:53You must own some real estate.
17:55What if it happens again?
17:58Situation's a little bit different now.
18:01I was an officer then.
18:03This time I don't have anybody to look out for but myself.
18:07Hey, Connolly!
18:08You must own a car somewhere.
18:10All I'm asking is that you keep your mouth shut, that's all.
18:16Well, I don't think you can square yourself that way, Jake.
18:19But if that's the way you want it, you got it.
18:24Time after time we've tried to move forward.
18:28But the enemy put up a wall of fire that has stopped us cold.
18:33Artillery, mortars, automatic weapons have taken a heavy toll.
18:38Faces that had become reassuringly familiar to me are suddenly not around anymore.
18:42But there is little discussion of casualties.
18:47Losses are to be expected.
18:49With our last attempt to crack the enemy lines, a failure, we're forced to dig in and wait for new orders.
18:55Go, man!
18:56Come on, buddy.
18:59That's what they call mallet head.
19:04Yeah?
19:06What's mallet head?
19:08You know what a croquet mallet is?
19:11Yeah.
19:13Well, that ridge, that's the handle.
19:16And way over there, that mountain, that's the head.
19:18That's the head.
19:19You mean that's what we gotta take?
19:21If we take that, San Pietro will fall.
19:23Yeah?
19:24That's a scam straight from the colonel.
19:27You know what?
19:29I'm gonna take a nap.
19:30And then we'll take it.
19:31Yeah, go ahead, sleep, pal.
19:39What's that?
19:40My arm.
19:42It's a girl.
19:45It's no girl, it's a bush.
19:49That's a girl.
19:52Aye, you bum!
19:56Hey, wait a minute!
19:57Wait a minute!
19:59We won't hurt you!
20:02We just wanna talk!
20:04Yeah, we just wanna say hello!
20:06Hey, honey!
20:07Wait a minute!
20:18What are you doing?
20:19Hey, you dirty lusts!
20:20You could've killed us!
20:21Okay, then, don't chase my girl!
20:22What are you doing?
20:23Hey, you dirty lusts!
20:24You could've killed us!
20:25Okay, then, don't chase my girl!
20:28Hey, sweetheart!
20:29Lipstick!
20:30Hey, sweetheart!
20:31Lipstick!
20:32Hey, honeybunch!
20:33Silk stockings?
20:34Silk?
20:35Silk?
20:36Silk?
20:37Silk?
20:38Soap?
20:39Little chewing gum, huh?
20:40Little chewing gum, huh?
20:41Little chewing gum, huh?
20:42And then, don't chase my girl!
20:43Hey, sweetheart!
20:44Lipstick!
20:45Hey, honeybunch!
20:46Silk stockings?
20:47Soap?
20:48Little chewing gum, huh?
20:49Little chewing gum, huh?
20:50Hey, sweetheart!
20:51Hey, sweetheart!

21:49Hey, Pete, you got a match?
21:54I got a match. Oh, shoot.
22:00What are you thinking about?
22:02A girl. You ever think about girls?
22:08Just one.
22:10Only mine's right down in San Pietro.
22:12You got a girl in San Pietro?
22:19I'm telling you.
22:21What a face and what skin.
22:24And the way her eyes are looking when she kisses.
22:27Is she a nice girl?
22:29Oh, I wouldn't try nothing with her.
22:31We just kiss a little.
22:33I tell her about Jersey City.
22:35She tells me about how old that church is in San Pietro.
22:38That's very interesting, Pete.
22:41Yours like that?
22:45No, mine was a little bit more...
22:50...intense, I guess.
22:51You right, your girl, a lot?
22:55She was killed a couple years ago.
22:58A London Blitz.
23:00Gosh, I'm sorry.
23:05I don't get it.
23:07Why do you keep pushing your luck up here at the front?
23:09You could stay back at headquarters.
23:12Well, as long as I'm writing about jerks like you, D'Angelo...
23:15...I might as well live with them.
23:17You mean you got a deep affection for me?
23:19You're darn right I have.
23:20You are my typewriter.
23:22Any news for the folks back home?
23:34Yeah.
23:35A coordinated division will attack tomorrow morning.
23:38What's our part?
23:39Take Montlungo.
23:42Take Montlungo.
23:47A couple of days ago, division said that was impossible.
23:52Yeah, yeah.
23:54Guess it's the last alternative.
23:56There's no other way to push him back.
23:59Montlungo.
24:02I guess I'd better get some sleep.
24:04See you in the morning.
24:08Say, Connolly, uh...
24:11I'd like to ask you something.
24:13Yeah.
24:15You've been around for a long time, haven't you?
24:18Yeah, I guess so.
24:20You've seen a lot of men under fire?
24:22The Pacific since Corregidor,
24:24over here since the Tunisian campaign.
24:26You ever see any of them break?
24:32Enough?
24:34I, uh...
24:36I guess a lot of officers have doubts, don't they?
24:38It's only natural.
24:39Well, you take a guy like Jake, for instance.
24:43He doesn't seem to have any doubts.
24:45He never hesitates.
24:46He always knows what he's doing.
24:48He volunteers for everything.
24:50Goes on a patrol, infiltrates behind the enemy lines.
24:53Comes back with more information than the rest of them put together.
24:57And he brings them all back safe.
24:59It's, uh...
25:01It kind of gets to you.
25:02Why?
25:05Well, you can't help comparing yourself with him.
25:08Maybe he's just a natural leader.
25:10I don't know.
25:11He does what he's told.
25:12That doesn't make him a leader.
25:14Maybe you haven't watched him as closely as I am.
25:16I told him I was thinking about recommending him for a field promotion.
25:20He said he didn't want one.
25:23I'm going to put it through anyway.
25:24Well, I wouldn't do that if I were you.
25:33Why not?
25:34Who's better qualified?
25:36We need good officers.
25:38Tell you one thing, pressure doesn't get to him.
25:41He's under a different kind of pressure.
25:42If you need help, why don't you pick one of your NCOs?
25:47They're used to giving orders.
25:50Maybe.
25:52I just wish I was as sure of myself as he is.
25:55I can't help thinking.
25:57One bum steer, and the whole company's wiped out.
26:01Look, Jim.
26:03When they made you an officer, they didn't make you infallible.
26:06Before this war's over, you're going to make a few mistakes.
26:09You can't worry about it.
26:10Do the best you can.
26:11That's all anybody expects.
26:13Besides, it doesn't help to let somebody else make your decisions for you.
26:19Sooner or later, your turn's got to come.
26:22Might as well be sooner.
26:25I think you'll do it okay.
26:28I hope so, Conor.
26:32I hope so.
26:321200 hours, 15 December, 1943.
26:44I keep wondering whether we'll be in San Pietro by Christmas.
26:49Those of us still left, that is.
26:51We've moved up Mount Lungo, fighting for every bush and every rock on the way to the summit.
26:57Heavy artillery fire has forced us to take cover on the ridge below.
27:01We've gained some ground.
27:02We've gained some ground.
27:04We've paid a high price.
27:07One man for every three feet.
27:09There they are.
27:14Enemy artillery.
27:15That is murder.
27:19We better get our rear ends and gear, Captain.
27:29Come on, let's get out of here.
27:30Come on, let's get out of here.
28:00How bad is that, Captain?
28:17They got us zeroed in.
28:19All right.
28:20They got us zeroed in.
28:22My company.
28:30Get out of here.
28:31Get out of here.
28:32Get out of here, my gun.
28:32Come back here.
28:33Come back.
28:34You're going to get your head blown off.
28:37Listen to me.
28:38We're going to wait until it is dark, and then we are going to move out.
28:42Is that clear?
28:43You have to wait until it's dark.
28:45Right here.
28:46And then move out.
28:47With the coming of darkness, we've dug in, and have sent reconnaissance patrols to determine
28:55our position.
28:58Jake, you think the men saw me in that shell hole?
29:02Oh, no.
29:05No, don't worry about that, sir.
29:08Everybody makes a mistake.
29:11It's the second one that counts.
29:13I don't know.
29:13I look in their eyes, and I can't tell whether they trust me or not.
29:20Sure they trust you.
29:22I hope so.
29:23I like them.
29:29If war was only simple, if you could just go out there and die, and they could all go
29:34home, that would be easy.
29:37Yeah.
29:39I know what you mean.
29:41It's the decisions that are hard.
29:43Oh, no.
29:44Take it easy.
29:46I make a wrong one, and you're dead.
29:53Eskimo!
30:12Of course I'm not an Eskimo, you jackass.
30:16Oh, I'm cold enough to be.
30:19Ernie, are you crazy or something?
30:20Don't you know Eskimo's the challenge?
30:23If you don't give the right recognition signal, you could be shot.
30:26The challenge is Eskimo.
30:28The answer is pie.
30:30Yeah?
30:32That's good.
30:33Who thought that out?
30:35Eskimo?
30:36Pie?
30:39Hey, listen.
30:41I took a camera off a German prisoner.
30:43Yeah?
30:44You want to swap your blanket for it?
30:45Get lost.
30:46This is a good blanket.
30:47I'm going to take it home to my mother.
30:49Sam, can't you hear my teeth chattering?
30:51Be a good guy.
30:53Swap the blanket for the camera.
30:55And what'll I do?
30:56Take pictures all night?
30:57You're never going to get home with that blanket anyway.
31:00So let's use it together, huh?
31:02We'll wrap it around the two of us.
31:04It's not that big a blanket.
31:06I know, Sam.
31:08But you wrap it around me, and I'll give you half my heat.
31:13Half your heat?
31:14What do you mean?
31:16Half my body heat.
31:17Listen, are you trying to get fresh or something?
31:22Come on, Sam.
31:24I never was so cold in my life.
31:28Okay.
31:29So I give you half my blanket.
31:31What'll you swap for that?
31:34I told you.
31:36You'll get half my body heat.
31:37Yeah, but you're getting half of mine.
31:40Okay.
31:41So what else do you want?
31:44Well, how about, um, two packs of cigarettes for nothing?
31:48Then you'll feel better.
31:50Two packs?
31:54Well.
31:57Two packs for nothing.
31:59I'd feel so much better.
32:00It wouldn't be fair.
32:03One pack.
32:04One pack.
32:18Ernie?
32:19Yes.
32:20You know what?
32:21What?
32:23Even though there's...
32:24There's juries all around us.
32:28I feel better, don't you?
32:32Yeah.
32:33I feel a lot better.
32:45How's it look, Frank?
32:48Well, sir.
32:51We're sure shooting on this ridge here.
32:54207.
32:57You send out patrols to find out what's behind us?
33:00Yes, sir.
33:00The juries are behind us.
33:03They go right in between us and the rest of the battalion.
33:06Could we ask Major Kaye to reinforce us?
33:09With what?
33:12No, he hasn't got anything to reinforce us with.
33:16How strong is Baker?
33:18They're cut in half.
33:19Can I see the map a minute?
33:21Yes, sir.
33:24We're right here, at this point.
33:27And this is what they call the mallet handle.
33:28And up here, that's Mount Lungo.
33:31That's the mallet head.
33:33With 12 million juries dug into solid rock.
33:37What do we do now?
33:40Dig in, I guess.
33:43Pull the best way we can.
33:44You got a better suggestion?
33:53No.
33:54No, I don't have any suggestion at all.
33:56I asked you a question.
34:03What would you do?
34:04I don't know.
34:13All right.
34:15Let me see that map, please.
34:17Now, the juries know that we are right here, in the mallet handle.
34:29They're probably working down both sides of us right now to be ready in the morning.
34:35Why don't we take the mallet head ourselves?
34:38Oh, we take it ourselves when the whole battalion couldn't take it.
34:42Well, that just means getting chopped up at dawn if we don't make some kind of a move.
34:46By then, the mallet head will be stripped for an attack right down here on the handle.
34:53There'll be German infantry on both these flanks, all the way down here.
34:56All that's going to be left on the mallet head is a comparatively small force.
35:00I'm suggesting that we slip right out of that pincers before dawn,
35:05in small groups separately if we have to,
35:07assemble under the mallet head, and then at dawn, take the head.
35:11Take it with grenades and whatever else we've got.
35:16No chance.
35:22I'd have to clear it with the battalion.
35:25Our order is to hold in place.
35:29To hold in place
35:30means to hold here until they come and kill us.
35:36You ask me, Captain, but the decision is up to you.
35:38You toss the coin, I'll say the prayer.
35:55Frank.
35:56What do you think, Frank?
35:58I think it's crazy.
36:03And I'm with the lieutenant.
36:05All right, suppose we do take it.
36:06We'll just lose it back two minutes later.
36:09Well, maybe not.
36:11We'd be the leading element.
36:13The battalion would have to stick with us.
36:16The commander's got to stick with his leading element.
36:18Is that what the book says, Captain?
36:23I don't care what the book says.
36:26Around here, it's what I say.
36:31Okay.
36:33Okay, we'll do it.
36:34Okay.
36:58Yeah?
36:59I, uh...
37:01I'm going to keep my mouth shut about you.
37:03I'm not so sure I should anymore.
37:07What are you going to do?
37:08Get a walkie-talkie and turn me in, huh?
37:11You're all steamed up to redeem yourself.
37:13Well, that's fine.
37:14What about the captain?
37:15Maybe you're pushing him farther than he can go.
37:17All I do is make a suggestion.
37:19He has to make the decision.
37:20That's the tough part.
37:22That's what takes the guts.
37:24He made the decision.
37:25We're going to take the mallet head.
37:29Can we take it, Jake?
37:30Why ask me?
37:33I'm just a private.
37:35Captain says attack, we attack.
37:37What are the odds?
37:42Let's just see what tomorrow brings, huh?
37:44We'll go till we fall apart.
37:46Dawn.
37:53Dawn.
37:5416 December.
37:57During the night, we slipped out of the enemy pincers
37:59and have taken up new positions just below the summit.
38:02Luckily, there was no moon.
38:03The first part of Jake's plan worked,
38:05but the big push is yet to come.
38:07We still have to take the mallet head.
38:10I want you to stay back this time.
38:11If you've got to go up, wait for the medics.
38:13Call battalion.
38:17Tell them we're moving up on the mallet head.
38:27Pantywaist.
38:28Come in, Pantywaist.
38:30This is Abel Sugar.
38:32Pantywaist, Pantywaist.
38:33This is Abel Sugar.
38:35We are about to move up on the mallet head.
38:37Request support.
38:37Pantywaist, Pantywaist.
39:07Pantywaist.
39:11Pantywaist.
39:19Pantywaist.
39:25I don't know.
39:26Pantywaist.
39:28Pantywaist.
39:29Pantywaist.
39:30Give me some cover fire on him.
40:00Let's go.
40:30Let's go.
41:00Let's go.
41:30Let's go.
42:00Let's go.
42:30Let's go for the top.
43:00Hey, you did all right, Captain. Don't mind if you stay with us a little longer.
43:15Yeah, how about taking us on a little trip to Rome, huh?
43:17Okay. Let's say we collect Germans as souvenirs all the way there, huh?
43:22Well, what's next, Captain?
43:24Well, there's San Pietro.
43:26With the fall of Mount Lungo, the enemy throughout the San Pietro area has been forced to withdraw.
43:39Entering the town, we found it's a bitter prize, but it's a bitter prize, for the lives lost during the battle were precious lives.
43:50They will be mourned by their country, by their loved ones, by those of us who have survived.
43:59In the wake of the battle, the townspeople have begun to appear, coming out of hiding places in the mountains.
44:06They're mostly older people and children.
44:09Yesterday, they're mostly older people and children.
44:14Yesterday, they are smiles and even laughter.
44:18Whatever one thinks about war, the faces of children should make one think twice.
44:23Dolce.
44:25R.O.S.A.B.
44:36Rosa!
44:39Rosa!
44:44Rosa!
44:55Rosa! Rosa!
45:08Jake?
45:11You got a match?
45:25You want me to take that off for you?
45:34Uh-huh.
45:47Clinton, Robert C., Major, U.S. Army.
45:55When the story of San Pietro comes out, Major,
45:59you're going to be known as the hero of Mallet Ridge.
46:03No, no, no, I don't want you to write that story.
46:09The captain, the captain, he's the one.
46:13What do you want me to do with these?
46:16Just keep them as a souvenir.
46:19You trust, trust in me, Kanye.
46:22I like that.
46:22You see, I did need that other chance.
46:28What do you do?
46:29Keep that smoke all day?
46:52Well, Connolly, that was a rough one, wasn't it?
47:00Well, Connolly, that was a rough one, wasn't it?
47:17Who's in the litter?
47:19Jake.
47:22He's dead.
47:22He was one heck of a soldier.
47:32Yeah, he was.
47:37Listen, we're taking up positions north of town.
47:39You coming along?
47:40Wouldn't miss it.
47:42What you got there?
47:45Oh, nothing.
47:46Souvenir of San Pietro.
47:48I'll get my stuff.
47:49You have to hold it up a minute, Captain.
48:03They're starting to jam up.
48:08I wonder how long till Rome.
48:10Hey, Connolly.
48:12See you in Rome, huh?
48:13You'll see a lot more of me before that, Frank.
48:16Hey, Pete.
48:17Yeah?
48:17Find her?
48:18No, not yet.
48:20Listen, you take good care of my typewriter, you hear?
48:22Long as I pay the rent, you've got no kicks.
48:25Don't worry, Connolly.
48:26When we get to Rome, I'll hustle you a new one.
48:28But it'll cost you a box of cigars.
48:30Hey, remember, I always got the corner on the soap and candy bar market.
48:35Hey, you'd better get back to the States while you can, Connolly.
48:37I'm stuck here, Sarge.
48:39D'Angelo has my passport.
48:40I'm stuck here, son.
48:46Hey, Jim.
48:47Look.
48:50Spring is coming.
48:51I didn't realize that.
48:53All right, Captain.
48:54Move on now.
