Synopsis:
Easy Company is joined by a new replacement Johnny Doe. Johnny is anxious to kill Nazis. He takes dangerous risks and shoots first without asking questions. Sgt. Rock warns him to be careful, but Doe doesn't listen. At first Johnny's antics earn him respect as he single-handedly takes out an enemy pillbox and uncovers a Nazi trap. However, in the town of Alimy, the surviving Nazis kidnap innocent civilians and use them as hostages. Johnny plans to use a grenade to kill the Nazis without regard for the hostages. When Johnny refuses to stop, Rock fires on him. The grenade explodes killing Johnny. Rock is not sure if he was responsible for Johnny's death.
