To the people who need a little context… the allied forces were completely outmatched and had no chance of victory, the Germans were offering a kindness by being willing to accept the allies surrender.This is why the German is so confused when they say “we can’t accept your surrender”… he’s like “wait wut… we want you to surrender or you’re about to be annihilated”. It portrays the classic “stiff upper lip”, bravery and wit of the British soldiers. This movie is based on a true story too.
