Episode Overview
The 918th is given a highly confidential mission to bomb Dortmund, with only Savage privy to the specifics. After a briefing from Stoneman, Crowe, and Colonel Meyers, he makes his way back to base. During his journey, he encounters an air raid and is saved by Doker Drew. Drew takes Savage and another survivor, Jennifer Heath, to her home so he can call the base. Once the air raid ends, they are confronted by a wounded German pilot dressed as an Obergefrieter. Savage quickly realizes he’s actually a Luftwaffe Oberst. In the ensuing struggle, Jennifer is injured, and Savage is compelled to kill Haff.
