Synopsis:
Johnny Cloud has been haunted by nightmares. The nightmares have caused him to react irrationally, even when wide awake. The other members of the team worry that Johnny's actions could put the team in danger. When the Losers are sent to retrieve a Polish scientist held prisoner by the Nazis, Johnny puts himself in harm's way. The other Losers protect him. They find the scientist, but their escape is blocked. After the scientist sacrifices his own life by falling on a grenade, Johnny goes berserk and unleashes his rage on the Nazis. He destroys an enemy missile site and in the resulting confusion, the Losers escape.
