During a desert battle, Hitchcock is badly wounded. Troy decides to risk taking him to a nearby German field hospital to save his life as their own hospital is too far away. Upon arriving at the hospital, he and Moffitt nearly pull off the masquerade, except for a paranoid patient - Captain Friedrich - who tells everyone they are American spies. No one believes him, but during the delay, the doctor notices a tattoo on Hitch's arm from Ft. Benning, Ga. Troy forces him, at gunpoint, to finish the operation. They escape in a hail of gunfire after the surgery.
