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.

A French countess (Luise Rainer) risks her life and home by sheltering wounded Hanley from the Germans and her husband (Ramon Novarro).

A corporal, eager for revenge, questions Saunders' efforts to free Hanley, who is the captive of an SS captain.

The squad resents a surly, opinionated lieutenant (Joseph Campanella) who takes over for hospitalized Hanley.

A German spy (Jeremy Slate) pretending to be an American flier fakes a plane crash, hoping to be picked up by the French underground.
