Synopsis:
The Nazis have surrounded a village at the base of a mountain. The villagers inside are out of ammunition, and Allied forces are engaged elsewhere. The Blackhawks are sent to delay the attackers until the Allies can arrive. While they are successful in delaying the attack, the Blackhawks are frustrating at not being able to break the siege. At night several Blackhawks distract the German troops. The others land atop the mountain. Using smoke and explosives they make it appear as if the mountain is a live volcano. The Nazis retreat, and the villagers are saved.
