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.
