Capt. Otto Baumann Quotes in The Bridge at Remagen (1969)

Capt. Otto Baumann: Farce! Where are the bombers? Our reinforcements? This is the most important place in Germany, and what do we have to fight with? Old men, riff-raff, the sweepings from the road.

Major Paul Kreuger: And you, Baumann. Will you fight as hard as you talk?

Capt. Otto Baumann: You will find out when we attack.

Major Paul Kreuger: So, Captain Baumann, I trust that in the event of an emergency, at least the explosives are in place to blow up the bridge?

Capt. Otto Baumann: Not yet, Herr Major. It is reported that 600 kilos of high explosives are on the way. But perhaps, that TOO is only a rumor.
