The Colonel, clearly enjoying Anna's company, takes her for a drive and informs her that because of heavy losses she is promoted back to captain, and given command of a flight. The entire unit is ambushed as they try to blunt the Nazi attack, but she commands well, breaking away from her insistence on going it alone, even praising and encouraging Mouse. When she is named a Hero of the Soviet Union she makes a drunken pass at the colonel, who tells her that although his wife was killed by Germans he considers himself married until the last invader has been driven from their homeland.
