June 1942:
It was in Fort Benning, Georgia, and Vito Scaletta had been in the airport and entered the bus, and had sat down on the bus, next to man named Wei Shen. Wei Shen introduced himself saying, "Hey you must be training too, I'm Wei, Wei Shen, I'm from Hong Kong originally, and went to San Francisco, you must be." Vito introduced himself saying "Vito, I'm Vito Scaletta, I'm from Sicily originally, and had gone to New York City for a better life." Wei said "Sweet so are you ready to take out the Jerrys." Vito then said "More than ever." Wei then said "Good me too." There was more people entering as well, this time Cole came along and said "Oh hey what's up Wei." Wei said "Hi Cole this is Vito, he's from Sicily and New York, he'll be joining us." Vito then said "A pleasure to meet you Mr. Phelps." Cole said "Nice to meet you Vito I'm Cole." Jack then said "Jack Kelso." Hank then said "Hank Merrill." Vito then said "Hey." As he waved. They say down, Cole next to Vito and Wei and Jack next to Hank. Then a drill sergeant came out as they reached the location and called them all off, they endured the shark attack for twenty minutes and were then processed, shaven, and then examed.
The next day...
The man introduced himself saying "I am Sergeant 1st Class Hoffman at your service, and you are in my Army, and you belong to me now as well, you maggots are not even human fucking beings, you all are pieces of antagonizing shit, you will not like me, but the more you hate me the more you'll learn, Im hard but I'm fair, there is no racial bigotry here, I don't look down on niggers, kikes, wops, krauts, chinks, japs, polacks, micks, or spics. Here you all are equally worthless and all green and have to prove something to earn respect, do you maggot understand. They shouted "Sir yes sir." They were then given the instruction of the basic rules.
A few hours later...
They were processed in and they were in their barracks and talking to each other as they were at ease, and as they were discussing important matters, Vito had said "You know I can't wait to battle the enemy." Wei said "Yeah me too." Cole then said "When we fight the Jerry Germans we have to be prepared, we can't take anything from anyone." Merrill said "I agree, hey Vito what brought you here anyway." Vito said "I wanted to run away from home, back at home my old man has a problem." Wei asked in curiousity noticing he know what he meant and understood everything and asked "Oh yeah what May that be?" Vito said "Alcohol, that is what it is, when we came from Sicily in Italy ten years ago, I was seven, and he was sober then, he got a job in the labor union, and these mob cats fucked with his pension fund and paycheck, they were money laundering, to earn their riches." Wei said "Shit that sucks." Cole said "Scaletta, I know the feeling, my father and grandfather went through the same thing, as the mob ran the shipping depot as well, they did the same shit." Wei said "I understand 100% my sister, fuck man, Vito finish your story, and maybe I can tell mine." Vito continued saying "I came into this country in 1932, and my father went in that position, my mother was a housewife, and my sister is a straight A student whom graduated High School and is in college and is almost done." Merrill asked "Is she pretty?" Scaletta then said "Yes don't make me shoot you at the range in a few weeks." He joked and they chuckled. Then Scaletta continued saying "I went to school, learned English, and was bullied for being Italian, and was called Dago, Wop, Guinea, and Greaseball, shit like that, I fought back and they feared me, I earned respect from many people in my community and school, even a bully Joe Barbaro gave me respect, and we became good friends, he's in jail still, but anyway, I went to High School, took this summer here to enlist to get back at the Japanese for bombing Pearl Harbor, and the Jerry Germans for declaring war on us, and now I'm here, how about you Shen what's your story." Shen said and said "Well Scaletta, I came from Hong Kong in China, in the year 1925, on May 2nd like you, my childhood was just as hard, my father had died when I was very young, he died of pneumonia, as they didn't have the medicine back then like we do now, and I grew up with these kids named Winston Chu and Jackie Ma, and we would go to school and buddy around and play stick ball, and then we had a friend named Samuel Lin, whom was older than us, he was a teenager and he dated my sister Mimi, and he was part of the Triads, they're like the Mob Guys you grew up with, along with you too Phelps, so next he got my sister hooked on heroin and sex, and that ruined her, and my mother thought new country new beginning that would help her, we went to San Fran, and we then had gone to school, I was like you, segregated, called Chink, Yellowhead, Gook, and Nip, and fought back and gained respect and fear, went to High School and since the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and the Jerry Germans had gone and declared war I'm here like you Scaletta, and right now my sister is in jail." Vito then sympathized saying "I'm so sorry Shen, let's hope we can fight and make our lives better." Kelso then said "Wait we fight and we save our comrades as well." Vito then said "No Kelso what I meant is that we fight together as a team and a clan and our duty is to serve and protect." Kelso then said "And their duty is to die for our wonderful future."
One year later...
Operation Husky, we were assigned to infiltrate Messina where I was from, and we got hit by flak, only me and my friends made it, and when Mussolini rounded everyone up, and the local resistance was in town, we decided to return a favor. The Italian man that was hostage was crying and Scaletta and his crew looked over and the Italian Soldier said "Se qualcuno fare qualcosa questo uomo morirà! Huh! Eh!" He pointed a Beretta at his head and Vito translated saying "He says that if anyone does anything he will kill this man." Shen then said "Alright Scaletta take the shot." Vito shot the bullet killing the Italian Solider with the Beretta, and they then fought their way through the crowd and they came across the entrance of the main outpost, and then a resistance member named Giacomo said "Dobbiamo entrare in questo edificio prima dell'esercito." Scaletta then translated saying "Uh he says we must enter the building before the Army enters and they did." They fought their way through the building and shot all of the Italian Soldiers along with German Soldiers dead and took POWs and then cleared the rest of the surrounding area and to any other reinforcements, a man by the name of Don Calogero Vizzini "Don Calò", the boss of the Sicilian Mafia, had came in telling the Italian Soldiers to surrender which they did out of fear.
One year later...
It was D-Day and the Scaletta Crew had gone and escaped the PT Boat Gunfire aimed towards them and they had gone and blew up the sea wall at Omaha, and then they had shot all the German Soldiers around them and then Scaletta had said "We have to enter each bunker and clear out each one as well, Shen give me the flamethrower, we're clearing the area out now." Shen said "Will do Scaletta." He was then given the Flamethrower and Vito burnt each bunker and Kelso shouted out to the distance "Don't shoot let them burn." The Germans burnt to death. Then they cleared the area and they took in POWs and were lined up the battle was over for now.
One day later...
Scaletta then said "Man what a night, we had the Navy recover all the bodies today, and we have these prisoners right here as well, we have to find where Private Ryan may be, Caparzo, Miller, Wade, Horvath, and Mellish are scouting the area, along with a new guy and now we have to keep guard, do you think it's worth interrogating them." Shen said "It's worth it, Scaletta you speak German as well along with your Italian right." Scaletta said "Yeah Shen I learned." Merrill said jokingly that "Now this New Yorker seemingly knows what he's doing." Scaletta interrogated the Germans saying "Ihr willt leben, sag mir wo sind die Kriegsgefangen zusammen mit einem vermissten Soldaten (Tell me Weber's the prisoners of war are and a missing soldier). A German soldier said "Was für ein vermisster Soldat, ich weiß nichts oder wovon du redest." Scaletta slapped him saying "Du weißt alles wovon ich rede, genug mit dem scheiße (You know everything about what I said, cut the shit)." Kelso then asked "What was that for." Scaletta then said "That was merely to remind him that I'm in charge here, and he'll do what I say, I never fear my enemy, but I respect them." Kelso then debated saying "Respect then why, aren't they like the mob guys back at home you hate so much!?" Scaletta then said "We're here due to the fact how the Germans declared war on us due to how we went against their ally by cutting off their oil and supplying Britain with aid, imagine us fighting a war, and another country doing the same, we would do the same back in return, they're fighting for what they believe in, sure Mellish has a point of them killing Jews, but in the end we respect every enemy we fight." Phelps then said "Scaletta's right we keep on doing what he said our duty just like the Germans whom have one as well, we must always fight back sure, but imagine for the fact being what we could've done as well, if we had been victimized like that, I don't think we would've been too happy." Merrill then said "I agree." Shen said "He'll I fucking hate the Triads but nah they're not criminals like Scaletta said, they are just fighting for what they believe in."
A few months later...
It's December and it's the Battle of the Bulge and Scaletta and Shen are assigned to drive to Caparzo's Unit, and they do, but along the way, there was a man in familiar uniform, as it had a medical ensigna on it, and a very familiar object as well, during the Battle of Aachen.
Quick clip...
The Battle of Aachen in October of 1944, Vito had saw Private Wade showing him something, after asking "Hey Scaletta, ever have something given to you special?" Scaletta then said "Many things, such as baseball cards, but right here this cross around my neck my father gave me, and it had been in our lineage for ten generations and this pure Golden Roman Catholic Cross from Sicily goes back 500 years ago, and it's worth a lot of money, and I'll never sell it ever, I pray to it every night that the Krauts don't come and slice our throats while we're slipping in our fox holes at nighttime." Wade then said "Right here is a pocket watch, goes back a long time too, my mother gave it to me, she said it kept bad dreams away, because as a kid, I would have nightmares and my mother would check on me and asked me what was wrong, and I told her about the nightmares and she gave me this watch, as it was our fortune in our family, and so far it kept away the enemies from coming and slicing our throats, I guess your cross and my watch are working together." Scaletta chuckled and said "Well I guess you're right." Wade then winked and said "Cheers!" And then Vito said "Salute! Cent'anni!"
Present Day...
Vito came out with a look like he wanted to cut someone's throat and had dropped his map, and took out the soldier's pistol, it was a C96, a German Pistol and he asked him in English as Shen prepared his M1 Garand and aimed it at the other "American Soldier", and Vito asked angry "Where the fuck do you get this watch, huh, where did you get the watch, woher hast du die uhr, where did you get the fucking watch!" The "American Soldier" then tried pulling Scaletta off and revealed the cut wire and mixed road signs saying "Ha ha stupid Yankees I am a German and we have your buddy Wade." Scaletta then said "Oh Yeah Shen spararlo!" Shen shot the disguised German soldier dead and then Scaletta then said "You're coming with us asshole!" Scaletta pistol whipped him and knocked him out.
Two hours later...
Scaletta and Shen noticed the English speaking German soldier woke up, and Scaletta poured water on him saying "Rise and shine Fritz!" The German coughed and coughed. Scaletta had tied him up and smoked a cigar and he offered the German a cigar, and he smoked it saying "Thank you." Scaletta then said "Now buddy what's your name." The German said "Friedrich Braun and you." Scaletta said "Vittorio Scaletta." Shen then said "Wei Shen." The German laughed saying "I see America is very diverse." Scaletta then said "That it is, we just want to know where are your men holding Wade and his company, do you have Caparzo's Company, if you comply, you will be given care, treatment to your wounds, and you may be extradited to the States to work, and maybe even have land there, the man you are fighting for is--." Braun answered saying "Evil, very evil, we are human too, we fight for we believe in, I'm Wehrmacht, not SS, I don't kill Jews, I believe in honor, and was hoping I could be freed from the Axis Side." Scaletta then said "Smart man now just tell me where the company is hiding." Braun said "We have a train holding them going towards the Rhine, you are going to have to fight through, and there are camps, death camps, and concentration camps holding people and killing innocent people, the SS, they are killing Jews, Poles, and Gypsies, along with Italians like you, Soviets, Serbs, and Greeks, Spaniards, Frenchmen, and Americans, along with other Germans. Scaletta then said "Jesus Christ, okay fine." Phelps then came in a Jeep and saw the prisoner and said "It looks like we have another prisoner." Scaletta said "Take him back to HQ and have him processed, he's going to work in the States and settle there, we made a deal, he complied and gave info, we're going have to fight through the ordeal, Jackson come with us, we're going to need a sniper, you too Howard (the new black guy)." They came and then Phelps had taken the prisoner with him, Kelso returned with Phelps, but Merrill decided to go with Scaletta.
Three months later...
It was dark and Scaletta was in a cage and he was talking to Shen saying, "Hey we got captured at the River."
Two days prior...
Scaletta, Shen, Merrill, Jackson, and Howard were knocked out by Germans after they're position was flanked and a Panzerschreck blast knocked them out, and then they had been unconscious, and German soldiers carried them and an evil SS Captain named Metz said "Die Juden separat (Separate the Jews)." They were captured and brought to the POW Camp.
Present Day...
Scaletta said "Fuck, we have to find a way out soon, I think Wade is here, I might've seen him, where the fuck did Jackson. Shen said "I don't know, but we'll find them."
Shen's POV...
Shen knew they were fucked and he had gone and been walked and sat down across from Howard whom said "I'm tired I just wanted to end this." As he had walked he heard Howard sobbing and crying but then sucked it up and remained strong. Shen then said "You don't mean that Howard." Howard then looked at Metz and shouted "FUCK YOU JERRY!" He spit in his face and Metz smacked him saying in English "You dead American!" Metz then said in German "Wer Sind die Juden here (Who are the Jews here)?" Howard then said "You don't scare me, you Kraut Nazi Piece of Shit." Metz clubbed Howard to death and Shen shouted "HOWARD NO YOU FUCKING PRICKS ILL KILL YOU ALL!" Metz then said "Next!" He noticed Merrill dead as well whom must've been killed in front of Howard which led to Howard sobbing and then Wade was all beat up and thrown to the ground as he crawled onto the chair and Scaletta was dragged and pushed the Nazi away screaming "Don't you fucking touch me!" Shen then said "Oh fuck Scaletta! Wade!"
Scalettavi POV...
Scaletta looked around and noticed Howard and Merrill dead and said "Motherfuckers we're going to make them pay!" Wade then said in fear of being killed "How?" Then Metz said "Wer Sind die Juden!?" Scaletta said "Just keep it calm now." Metz slapped Scaletta saying "Seicht zu mir!" Scaletta shouted "You can't kill me!" Metz aimed the gun at Vito and pulled them trigger but he was out of ammo and Vito breathed heavily and Vito whispered "Wei this time do it!" Shen then said "Copy." Shen then grabbed a German Soldier and shot him with his own gun and Vito then pistol whipped Metz and stole his pistol and Metz got away running and Scaletta shot the German soldiers surrounding them and they fought their way through the camp and then located Metz and Scaletta shot and killed him saying "There we go for Howard and Merrill." Shen then repeated saying "For Howard and Merrill."
They then saw German soldiers and they knocked them out and saw Jackson beaten up, and Scaletta said "Oh shit Jackson!" Jackson helped himself saying "I'm fine, we got to get out of here." Scaletta said "I have an idea!" They disguised as SS Troops and stole their truck and Wade and Jackson were disguised prisoners and then they put up white flags and Phelps and his unit had rendezvoused with them as they approached the already captured bridge, and then Phelps said "Oh shit thank God!" Kelso shouted "Holy shit what a fucking miracle!" Scaletta, Shen, Jackson, and Wade exited and made it out alive and Phelps asked "Howard and Merrill?" Scaletta said "No, they're gone." He shook his head in disbelief and Phelps then said "Oh God no." He then brought the US Army Battalion to the POW Camp, and had recovered the bodies of Howard and Merrill, and then had liberated all the POW Camps and Concentration Camps and saw how the SS treated the troops and prisoners like pure garbage, as they had beat and slaughtered them with no mercy, gased them and burnt their bodies, and killed even babies, mass graves of soldiers and innocent people, of every nationality throughout the world. They couldn't help but in private but cry for Howard, Merrill, the soldiers, marines, and every one of God's lost children.
Then next, the war ended in American Victory, and now Vittorio Scaletta and Wei Shen had came home and became cops, Vittorio had became an NYPD Officer, while Wei became an SFPD Officer, with Cole going to LAPD, but Kelso mysteriously disappeared.
The ship that brought them home had seen the three men in newspapers, and had bragged about them saying, they were true heroes all three getting the Medal of Honor and various other medals as well along with WWII Victory Medals. They also had said "Wow how Scaletta, Phelps, and Shen had come so far, I'm sure they will be great out there!" Then a man named "Roy Earle had said "Welcome home my friends." They left the ship and then Roy had asked "Hey boys, they're home load the stuff on the ship." A man named Luca Gurino said "Certainly." He smirked along with a man named Samuel Lin "Dogeyes" and another man named Mickey Cohen. A doctor named Fontaine said "It's ready to be loaded."
