Synopsis:
After taking a farmhouse occupied by enemy troops, Easy Company is joined by a new recruit. When Easy ambushes an enemy infantry group during a snowstorm, the new recruit runs away. When Rock notices that the kid has fled, he follows him. Sgt. Rock finds the kid, but so does an enemy tank. The kid sacrifices himself to destroy the tank, while Rock battles a German soldier on the surface of a frozen lake. Rock wins the struggle, then honors the kid for his sacrifice.
