Haven't seen an episode in 30 years but loved them all. This one was no exception. Jeff Hunter's character, Sgt Dane, is clearly hiding an internal war. He vents it at a priest in the village and even more violently at the church itself by blowing the cross off the steeple. The conflict is only too clear to Sgt Saunders when he comments that Dane killed 10 men today. Then yesterday. And the days before... " That internal conflict causes Dane to go to confession to the very same priest he roughed up. The conflict is accurately portrayed and although there was no one who could speak French to the priest, Dane confesses to him in Latin. While performing penance in the church, the Nazi's who were hiding in the basement shielding themselves with the "missing" townspeople come up to attack the squad. Dane was expecting it, and sacrifices his life to save Saunders' patrol by taking on the German's singlehandedly. As he collapses, mortally wounded at the foot of the alter, he drops what was clutched in each hand, a pistol in one, a broken rosary in the other. Nice touch.
