Synopsis:
Hitler consults with Rat Schultz, a former bootlegger who is now a Nazi sympathizer. Schultz recommends that Hitler split his troops in order to divide the Ghost Patrol and make them ineffective. Hitler then orders an attack on Russia from three fronts.

Fred stops the first attack by painting glowing swastikas on the underside of Nazi planes to make them easy targets for anti-aircraft guns. Slim stops the second attack by confusing Nazi tanks to fire on one another. Pedro then blows up a munitions train to derail the third attack.

The Ghost Patrol then reunites to confront Hitler. After suffering a humiliating prank, the Nazi leader blames Schultz for his army's failure.
