The story of a small Belgian unit of soliders who was supposed to defend the borders and hold their ground in the Battle of the Ardennes.
When the German armies,which included Rommels Ghost Division, approached the unit they were supposed to retreat but due to communication failure the order never reached them so instead they honored their original ordrs which were to defend the border at all costs.
They fought so bravely, and on such a large front that they tricked the axis into believing that they were facing a force extremely larger than 40 rifles strong.
When finally they were captured and their captors asked the -"Where are the others?" they simply laughed and answered -"There are no others, we are all!".

War is coming swiftly
The borders closing in
We're a company of soldiers
Mere forty rifles strong
All alone
Stand alone
Ardenner ground is burning,
And Rommel is at hand
As the Blitzkrieg's pushing harder
The war is all around!
All around
Hold your ground!
Fight all eighteen days of battles,
No odds are on our side
Few will fight for all until the bullets are gone
We!
We will resist and bite!
Bite hard
'Cause we are all in sight
We!
We take up arms and fight!
Fight hard!
Resist and do what's right!
No matter our fighting
The numbers will still count
We're outgunned and few in numbers
We're doomed to flag of fail
We fought hard
Held our guard
But when captured by the Axis
And forced to tell the truth
We'll tell it with a smile,
We will surprise them with a laugh
We are all
We were all
We were told to hold the border
And that is what we did
Honored were our orders
In despite of our foe
We!
We will resist and bite!
Bite hard
'Cause we are all in sight
We!
We take up arms and fight!
Fight hard!
Resist and do what's righ
We!
We will resist and bite!
Bite hard
'Cause we are all in sight
We!
We take up arms and fight!
Fight hard!
Resist and do what's right
Gloria fortis miles
The Wehrmacht closing in
Adversor et admorsus
The Boar against the Eagle
Gloria fortis miles
The Wehrmacht closing in
Adversor et admorsus
The Boar against the Eagle
We!
We will resist and bite!
Bite hard
'Cause we are all in sight
We!
We take up arms and fight!
Fight hard!
Resist and do what's righ
