:08:02
If they can't, it is their duty
to cause the enemy
:08:05
to use an inordinate number
of troops to guard them
:08:07
and their sworn duty to harass
the enemy to the best of their ability.
:08:11
Yes, I know.
:08:13
The men under your authority
have been most successful.
:08:17
This man, Ashley-Pitt, for example.
:08:20
Caught in the North Sea, escaped,
recaptured, escaped, recaptured.
:08:24
Archibald "Archie" Ives:
11 escape attempts.
:08:28
Even tried to jump
out of the truck coming here.
:08:31
Dickes, William.
:08:33
Known to have participated
in digging of 11 escape tunnels.
:08:36
Flight Lieutenant Willinski: four escapes.
:08:39
MacDonald: nine.
Hendley, the American: five.
:08:41
Haynes: four. Sedgwick: seven.
The list is almost endless.
:08:45
One man here has made
17 attempted escapes.
:08:49
Group Captain, this is close to insanity.
:08:51
- Quite.
- And it must stop!
:08:54
Colonel, do you expect officers
to forget their duty?
:09:01
No.
:09:03
It is because we expect the opposite
that we have brought you here.
:09:08
This is a new camp.
:09:11
It has been built
to hold you and your men.
:09:14
It is organised to incorporate all
we have learned of security measures.
:09:19
And in me, you will not be
dealing with a common jailer,
:09:23
but with a staff officer
personally selected for the task
:09:26
by the Luftwaffe high command.
:09:30
We have in effect put
all our rotten eggs in one basket,
:09:34
and we intend to watch
this basket carefully.
:09:38
Very wise.
:09:43
You will not be denied the usual facilities.
:09:46
Sports, a library, a recreation hall,
:09:51
and for gardening we will give you tools.
:09:54
We trust you to use them for gardening.
:09:57
Devote your energies to these things.
