Synopsis:
The Blackhawks are sent behind enemy lines to destroy a unit of twenty Panzer tanks. After their plane is shot down, the Blackhawks are forced to retreat, but they are surrounded. The team valiantly escapes the ambush. Andre captures a German grenade, only to discover that it is primed to explode. Before detonation, Andre charges an enemy ammo-carrier. He tosses the grenade and takes cover. The resulting explosion is large enough to destroy the nearby tank convoy, resulting in a successful mission.
