synopsis
Saunders (Vic Morrow) and his men are saved from an advancing Nazi tank with a heavy barrage of bazooka fire, courtesy of new replacement Cpl. Cross (Ben Cooper). But when the guys try to express their gratitude, Cross nastily rebuffs them. In the days that follow, the corporal proves to be such an ill-tempered jerk that the rest of the platoon is almost wishing he'd be bumped off. Little does anyone know that Cross is harboring a secret which forces him to wall himself off from the others.
