Synopsis
  • Easy Company is under fire from a German battalion. Sgt. Rock tries to radio Bravo Company, but they are already dead. Instead, Captain Storm and the Losers respond to the call. Rock supplies them with his position and Johnny Cloud takes point. Captain Storm takes a moment to reflect upon his own origin, and he recalls the original Japanese submarine attack that destroyed his crew and cost him his leg. After committing himself towards revenge, he eventually teamed up with other service men to form the Losers. Gunner and Sarge follow Cloud and scan the surrounding village for a German rocket emplacement. Their mascot Pooch ponders their many adventures together, including several missions in which he valiantly saved Gunner and Sarge's lives. Johnny Cloud also reminisces about his early years as he battled cultural derision and his commitment towards serving the United States Air Force. Fortunately, his superiors cared more about his flying skills than his Native American heritage. The Losers eventually reach the enemy encampment and take out the rockets, allowing Easy Company further access into the terrain. However, the scene is still a hot war zone and the land explodes with brilliant bursts of light. The Losers move onward and valiantly give their lives fighting the Nazi threat.
