Synopsis
When their Landing Craft Tank is damaged en route to a training exercise in Italy, Dick Murray and his tank platoon find themselves stranded behind enemy lines. They cause so much chaos and confusion that the Germans think another invasion has happened and divert two divisions from the battle at Anzio. When the LCT is repaired Dick makes it back to Naples with his men and their bag of prisoners.
