General Bradley's done
a tremendous job with 2nd Corps.
:54:25
He's moved into Bizerte
and taken over 41 ,000 prisoners.
:54:29
Good. Very good.
:54:30
You're not surprised, are you?
After all, you trained that outfit.
:54:39
-Excuse me, general.
-Hm?
:54:41
This is interesting. We've discovered
Rommel wasn't present at El Guettar.
:54:46
-Who says so?
-G2, sir.
:54:50
When we took 1 0th Panzer,
Rommel was in Berlin with an earache?
:54:54
Severe nasal diphtheria, sir.
:54:56
Also, Hitler probably
retained Rommel in Berlin. . .
:54:59
. . .because things were going badly
for the Africa Corps.
:55:01
He didn't want his favorite general
to lose face.
:55:04
I'm my favorite general,
and I don't like to be told. . .
:55:07
. . .that some second-stringer
is up against me. Then I lose face.
:55:18
Who the hell are you, anyway?
:55:20
CARVER: General, this is Lieutenant
Colonel Codman. Your new aide.
:55:23
Codman. I pulled your name off
the list because I know your family.
:55:27
I'm glad you did, sir.
:55:28
Rommel is the best the krauts have,
and I kicked the hell out of him.
:55:32
Now my own G2 section is telling
me he wasn't even there.
:55:35
But, general, he undoubtedly
planned the German battle.
:55:40
lf you defeat Rommel's plan, you've
defeated Rommel. lsn't that true?
:55:46
Codman. . . .
:55:49
-Have a drink with me tonight.
-Yes, sir.
:55:52
I have a plan
for the invasion of Sicily.
:55:55
I want to make sure I get it approved.
You can help me.
:55:59
I want to give a dinner
for General Alexander.
