The plan is for the fishing fleet to bring out the Allied POWs, Dunkirk-fashion. The fishermen believe that Marianne is a collaborator. Sgt. Troy, though, disagrees, and he's right. Marianne talks the fishermen into cooperating, and the prisoners make good their escape to freedom. Unfortunately, Marianne is killed in the evacuation. 

Valuable German ammunition has been dropped by parachute to an Arab farmhouse for a convoy to pick up, and the Rat Patrol must destroy it. On destroying the building, Troy discovers that there is no ammo--but there is a confused 16-year-old boy. The boy proves out to be the son of the German convoy commander. Even while the Rat's prisoner, the youth desperately tries to get word to the convoy so his father won't be killed. Troy is going to kill the commander, but when the boy pleads with him not to, Troy remembers what it felt like to lose his own father, who died when Troy was this boy's age. Troy captures the German instead of killing him. Then, the Rat Patrol destroys the convoy with the ammo.
