Synopsis:
The Blackhawk are assigned to destroy a Nazi stronghold along the coastline allowing Allied troops to land on the beach. Their raid succeeds, and they return to base. However, subsequent photos confirm the base is still intact. Blackhawk's integrity is questioned, so he and his team return to the area. They discover a secret tunnel that allows the enemy troops to move equipment through a mountain rather than around it. Blackhawk destroys the tunnel, preventing the Germans from rebuilding their base. The Allied invasion is then successful.
