This gritty 1960s drama depicts the lives of a U.S. platoon fighting its way across Europe during World War II. The show is a relatively realistic portrait of the fighting, refusing to glamorize either the soldiers or the war itself. Instead, it concentrates on the struggles of the soldiers to maintain their own humanity.

French brothers (Fernando Lamas, Sal Mineo), one a war hero and one a boy, join Hanley's men on a behind-the-lines mission.

A land mine kills one soldier and blinds Saunders who is then rescued by a German chaplain (Fritz Weaver) posing as a British citizen.

While spying at enemy headquarters, Hanley and his men learn a German agent is in their midst.

Saunders resists attacking teenage Germans whose stubborn commander has them defending a strategic farmhouse.
