The Rat Patrol discovers German tank reinforcements have arrived in the area of a planned Allied offensive. But a German ambush wrecks the Patrol's radio, and Troy cannot warn HQ of the Nazi unit. Troy knows El Jebel has a large Nazi propaganda radio station and heads there. Troy, Moffitt, and the others make their way into the radio room and prepare to broadcast their warning to the British. However, Captain Deitrich walks in on them and takes them prisoner. Troy and Moffitt manage to escape. They free Hitch and Pettigrew and get their message back to London, preventing the Allies from losing a lot of tanks.

Troy and Hitchcock capture Col Beckmann, an infamous Nazi POW camp commander. Beckmann denies that he is the man. In a fight, Troy gets knocked out, and Hitch is wounded. Using Troy's gun, Beckmann kills the other German captured with him, exchanges dog tags with him, and places the pistol near Troy's hand. Thus, Troy gets falsely accused of the murder. Moffitt and Tully only arrive afterward. To prove to a court-martial board that Beckmann is Beckmann, the rest of the Rat Patrol must infiltrate a German division's headquarters to find the evidence to prevent Troy's court-martial--at considerable risk to their own lives.
