Synopsis:
The crew of the Haunted Tank meet two infantrymen Tommy and Hiko Asumo. The men are Japanese-American which triggers Slim to act hostile since his brother was killed my the Japanese. Slim refuses to give up his grudge against the soldiers until they prove themselves in combat. When Tommy makes himself a target to save Slim and the others, Slim finally realizes that his racist attitude is unfair. The Japanese-American soldiers hope that other Americans will accept them, so that they don't have to fight the Nazis and their own army too.
