Featured review
Strong dramatics and a terrific conclusion
Jason Evers guest stars in the title role, a replacement who doesn't get along with anybody. His story unfolds in flashback, with the unusual format for the series having Kirby as a central character, in this case the link to Evers' role. Vic is off this week, with Rick leading the squad.
In a skirmish with the Germans, Kirby witnesses cowardice on the part of Evers, who doesn't follow his plea to help another soldier who is pinned down. Littlejohn tries to befriend him, both having farming backgrounds, but Evers remains unfriendly and a pain in the neck constantly.
Meanwhile, the squad is ensconced in a village and searching out any possible German activity nearby. Again, Evers' attitude causes trouble, getting kind-hearted Littlejohn into danger, after which Evers takes foolhardy chances to make up for it.
Kirby visits the wounded Evers, a sentimental finish. Way beyond bittersweet.
