[Kartographer]

One of my favorite scenes in Richard Burton playing wounded and downed Flight Officer David Campbell who has met up with a lost American paratrooper and a dead German soldier. He thoughtfully comments:

"He's dead. I'm crippled. You're lost. Do you suppose it's always like that? War I mean."

Probably my favorite line in the movie:

Col. Josef ‘Pips’ Priller : [speaking in German] Thank you, my dear Hans! You have just killed both of us!

[slams down phone]

Luftwaffe major : It is getting very difficult to get any sleep around here.

Col. Josef ‘Pips’ Priller : Your prospects for a long sleep have just improved. The invasion has begun at Normandy. We are to fly there and attack with our two planes.

And the German’s boots were on the wrong feet.
