Synopsis:
The Haunted Tank is sent to destroy an enemy radar tower. Their approach to the area is blocked by enemy tanks which nearly destroy them. Jeb calls for a retreat.

As the tank makes its way away from the target, they come across Captain Storm. His PT boat was destroyed while attacking a bunker. Only he survived and made it to shore. Jeb picks him up.

Next they encounter Gunner and Sarge. The two marines were sent to Europe to train recruits on tactics learned in the Pacific. Their squad was hit by a Nazi ambush. Only Gunner and Sarge escaped alive. They hitch a ride on the Haunted Tank.

Next Jeb finds the wreckage of a fighter plane. Johnny Cloud, the pilot, has survived the crash. He explains that his wingman was shot down. He joins the group who then make their way back to the radar tower.

Slim takes command of the Haunted Tank to divert the attention of the enemy. Jeb then leads the self-proclaimed Losers, to destroy the radar tower. The mixed unit succeed in their mission, then they make their escape, helped when a Nazi tank falls through a bridge into a river.
