There is one who is still alive and he tells the sergeant what had happened: a North Korean officer had the Sergeant's men shot, then stripped of uniforms, which were then donned by the enemy troops.

Smith, often considered by his Sergeant to be a coward, engaged himself in many battles during the campaign, including a battle in which he held off the Germans while the Sergeant was supposed to blow a bridge over which the enemy would attack. A Tiger tank, able to cross the bridge because it was not destroyed, killed the young Private while the Sergeant became a victim of battle fatigue and didn't complete his mission.
