synopsis
With the Germans advancing, Hanley (Rick Jason) and his men are ordered to evacuate a French village. Taking advantage of the situation, Frenchman Paul Lejeune (Jay Novello) switches a few road signs in order to misdirect Hanley's platoon into another village--his own. Lejeune hopes that by pulling the wool over the Americans' eyes, he can not only save the lives of the few villagers remaining, but also prevent a local winery from being bombed into oblivion.
