The Hauptmann, in a foxhole at the rear, receives news of the American's approach. He spreads the word to his troops to prepare themselves. Wearing a collection of HEER and SS cammo, the troops in the lower trenches look for the most likely direction for the American assault. A Landser scrambles across the slope between two major trenches, hoping to get into position before the fighting starts. A look down the trench line as a German soldier scans the terrain with binoculars.
All hell breaks loose.
The Americans start their assault on the German position and immediately begin to take losses. Here a kneeling GI fires uphill while bodies begin to fall in the background. A close-up of GIs trying to find defensive positions on the unforgiving slope. Another GI goes down as a rifleman in the foreground attempts to take to key targets using his scope. Though they have the defensive advantage, this conflict takes its toll on both sides.
