Episode Summary

In this episode, Billy Nelson is wounded and dazed in an artillery barrage in a village in the opening sequence. The rest of the patrol, concerned for his safety, gets trapped in a cellar. The Germans are crawling all over the village after the barrage. Eventually Littlejohn's loyalty to his buddy wins out over Saunders' practical demands to safeguard the rest of the unit. Billy Nelson is saved from the Germans, and the patrol blasts its way out of town. Intense, exciting from first to last.moreless
