German Commander
Colonel, my orders are to advance to Sidi Massura and hold it. That is what we'll do.
Col. Claus von Stauffenberg
The British are moving in from the east, Patton's closing in from the coast, Montgomery from the south. You know we should have left two days ago.
German Commander
No, Colonel, we keep fighting, until the final victory.
Stauffenberg
North Africa's lost, and a year from now, you're going to need these men to defend Berlin. We can serve Germany or the Fuehrer; not both.
German Commander
It's just that sort of talk that got you sent here, Colonel.
Stauffenberg
What I said was much worse.
