Synopsis:
Sgt. Rock leads Easy against a panzer division led by Major Otto Von Strupp. As Rock leads Easy out of several trap, Von Strupp earns respect for him. When Rock is injured during a battle inside a small village, Easy retreats, leaving him behind. Von Strupp captures him and brainwashes Rock to fight on the side of the Germans.

Rock then leads the panzer division against Easy Company. Easy hesitates when they see Rock is leading the charge, but Bulldozer begins firing on the enemy. He hits Rock with a glancing shot off the helmet, which restores Rock to his right mind. He turns on the Nazis, capturing Von Strupp and the rest of the division.
