synopsis
Saunders (Vic Morrow) and his men are assigned to capture an important Nazi officer during a "welcome home" reception at German field headquarters. It soon develops that Saunders has less to worry about from the Germans than he does from his own ranks. The fly in the ointment is technical sergeant Meider (Gary Lockwood), a born malingerer and malcontent whose whining ineptitute threatens to snafu the entire mission.
