Quote context

- Then they tried to smoke him out, throwing tear-gas bombs into every barracks just in case he was hiding up in the rafters.

- Then they made us stand for six hours out there until finally von Scherbach came out and gave us his ultimatum.

- And if we'd sleep in the mud for the rest our lives, that was okay by him.

- He just couldn't figure how a guy could disappear from the compound and still be there, but Dunbar was there all right. He sure was there.

- One of us is gonna have to take Dunbar out of the camp tonight.

- We'll draw one dog tag. The guy who goes with it does the job.

- It's going to be rough because the Krauts are expecting a move like this and they've put on extra guards.

- Now, if anybody wants to withdraw, speak up.
