Battleground Quote
German Lieutenant: The major thinks General McAuliffle must have misunderstood. We have appealed to the well-known American humanity to save the people of Bastogne from further suffering. We have given you two hours to consider before raining destruction upon you. We do not understand General McAuliffe's answer.
American Colonel: I'd be glad to repeat it. The answer is "nuts".

German Lieutenant: [discusses in German with German major] We will kill many Americans.
American Colonel: [studies them contemptuously before replying] On your way, bud.
