The new recruits were obviously nervous, awaiting the order from the Sergeant to go over the top toward the Jerries. One in particular stuck close to the Sergeant, who promised to "show him the ropes," when all of a sudden, a German machine gun opened up on them, causing the friendly forces to retreat. The young recruit, wounded, was hung up in the barbed wire and screaming for help, and two soldiers advanced to help....and were killed, and then another. The Sergeant did the only thing he could: he mercifully shot the recruit.

Jack Williams, a member of the Navy's Underwater Demolition Team, and whose sub had just surfaced a mile off shore near a Japanese held Pacific Island, had a reconnaissance job to do. The information he and the five others on his team would gather would help with the planning of the impending invasion of the island by American forces. He was using the location of the planet Venus to chart his course, never knowing that "star" was actually a ray of light emanating from a Japanese radio shack high up in the mountains!

Captain Wallace watched as a Russian MIG fighter he had fired on spiraled into the Han River, unaware that he had a superficial wound in his left arm. Suddenly, a storm erupted, causing his Panther jet to lose altitude. His only alternative was to eject himself from the aircraft, but his wounded left arm prevented him from moving the hood of the aircraft in a downward position. Tragically, all he could do now was to watch in horror his plane plunging earthward!

On the 3rd day of battle at Gettysburg, General Pickett and his army of 14,000 men attack the Union position and all hell breaks loose. One Union soldier, called Alabama (because he came from that state), is in the thick of battle when a southern officer approaches him, and Alabama cuts him down, learning too late after the battle that he had killed his own father!

Durkee seems to think that the North Korean Army simply can't match up against the American soldier, but hard lessons are soon to be learned.
