Episode Summary

Lt. Hanley is wounded in an artillery barrage, and is separated from the rest of the platoon. He survives frisking by a nasty German soldier, and finds a French farmhouse inhabited by two women. The mother does not want to hide Hanley, as she is afraid of the Germans. Her husband was killed by the Germans when he tried to help a downed British pilot evade capture. Germans come and search the farmhouse, looking for Hanley, who they know is somewhere in the vicinity. The nasty German tries to rape the daughter, and Hanley kills him. The women ultimately help Hanley escape to his own lines.moreless
