The squad is holed up in a French town, surrounded by German troops and they're running out of ammunition. They have no choice but to surrender. The Germans take their prisoners to a farmhouse where they tie them up when suddenly an American attack shells the area and the farmhouse is set on fire. Lt. Hadley escapes with Little John, Caje and the rest of the squad, while Saunders is badly burned in the fire.
This is a terrific episode for Vic Morrow. While the other guys try to work their way back to American lines, steal food from the Germans and reacquire weapons, Saunders is maddened by pain. He stumbles around by dead reckoning, slipping into a fantasy world where he mistakes a dead German officer for his brother Joey.
Robert Altman does some of his best work here with an episode that is extremely well shot in gorgeous black and white.
