While the three are showering, however, Barnabo is murdered and the rest are taken hostage by German Captain Aptmeyer and his NCO, who have been trapped behind American lines and are trying to get back to their own side. Aptmeyer holds Saunders and Caje hostage while he frees Doc to get an ambulance to transport them out of the village and back to German territory. Doc becomes the central character in this episode as he goes about getting an ambulance for which he has no authorization. Aptmeyer continues to hold them all hostage as Doc uses the ambulance to get them out of the village and back near German territory. Instead of releasing his hostages at that point, however, we learn that Capt. Aptmeyer has one more chore in mind for the Americans. Written by David Wile (updated by R.M. Sieger) See less
