Synopsis:
Sgt. Rock and Easy Company rescue a young boy from a farmhouse under attack by a Tiger Tank. The boy's father was a French Resistance leader known as Group 5. The entire cell was killed inside the farmhouse. The boy tells Rock that he will carry out Group 5's final assignment himself and refuses to be sent to safety.

Rock allows the stubborn boy to lead Easy Company to Group 5's objective. They come upon a secret bridge allowing tanks to cross a river. Easy sets explosives to blow the bridge, then waits for the German tanks to attempt to cross it. The boy sees an enemy scout deactivating the explosives. He rushes to stop the German soldier, making sure the bombs go off at the cost of his own life. After, the bridge is destroyed, Rock honors the boy by putting his sergeant's helmet on the boy's grave.
