In the tense skies over occupied Europe, German pilot Hans von Hammer makes a fateful mistake—shooting down a British Bristol fighter whose pilot has already run out of ammo.

In "Surtout pas de galons !", young Chip McKenzie resists the pressure to follow in his father General McKenzie’s military footsteps, preferring to stay just another soldier with Rock and Easy Company.
