On a well-deserved R & R, Sergeant C. J. Mahoney of Patton's Hammerhead Division heads straight for a hot bar in the freezing Belgian town of Clervaux. A few drinks, a knife fight over a woman, and Mahoney lands in a cell. But the worst of his tough-luck night comes when German bombs start ripping the town to shreds.
Patton and Hitler have begun the biggest massacre of their wartime careers, a massive slaughter of fire and flesh that is rumbling toward its bloody finale in Bastogne. With death on his heels and a grenade in his teeth, Mahoney sprints from jail and slashes into the enemy troops with bayonets, bazookas and his eager bare hands—and the Sergeant won't rejoin his unit until he completes his one-man mission of annihilation that will be heard clear back to Berlin!
