British Airborne – Lt. Col. John Frost & Major Carlyle

British Lt. Col. John Frost & Major Carlyle

Here is the inspiration for this little duo:
From “A bridge too far”: [an SS officer is approaching under a white flag]
SS Panzer Officer: My general says there is no point in continuing this fighting! He wishes to discuss terms of a surrender!
Major Harry Carlyle: Shall I answer him, sir?
Lt. Col. John Frost: Tell him to go to hell.
Major Harry Carlyle: We haven’t the proper facilities to take you all prisoner! Sorry!
SS Panzer Officer: [confused] What?
Major Harry Carlyle: We’d like to, but we can’t accept your surrender! Was there anything else? [German officer walks off]
