Synopsis:
After taking out a squad of Germans hidden in a demolished farmhouse, the crew of the Haunted Tank find a wounded G.I. on the side of the road. They take him inside their tank only to discover that he is a disguised Nazi. The German soldier holds the crew hostage with a live grenade. He orders them to drive the tank to a waiting squad of German tanks. The Nazis plan to use the tank as a decoy against the American troops.

Risking his own life and that of his crew, Jeb tackles the German. Slim knocks out the German, then Jeb grabs the grenade. He tosses it out of the tank before it explodes. The grenade lands in one of the German tanks destroying it. The crew then blasts the other enemy tanks and narrowly escapes.
