Synopsis:
As Sgt. Rock leads Easy Company to the front in North Africa, Nazi leader Colonel Von Krizt seeks to demoralize his opponents. He sends several waves of attackers against Easy Company, then drops surrender tickets, hoping that the Americans will give up the fight. Despite their fear and great thirst, Easy Company makes it across the desert and cofronts Von Krizt's forces. Instead of surrendering, Easy Company wins the fight and proves themselves in battle.
