July 1944 outside Stutthof, Germany:
Captain America and Bucky are alone on a reconnaissance mission when
they are attacked by a single enemy; warding off the bullets and a
grenade they catch their attacker who turns out to be an emaciated
woman. The woman flees and the heroes follow her until they are all
fired upon by a German patrol. The woman leads them into a farmhouse
where they are under siege by the enemy. After the people get used
to Cap and Bucky's odd uniforms, the woman Marta (Romany) introduces
her companions Iskra (Jewish) and Volya (Russian); they escaped from
a concentration camp and are trying to reach Allied lines. Cap
promises to help them and he and Bucky fortify the house. The heroes
learn about the horrors the refugees endured; Volya is shot by a
sniper while relieving himself and he refuses to go back to Germany
or Russia as he is banned as a homosexual. The group heads for a
nearby radio tower; on the way Marta describes how she was used in
experiments. The group runs into a German patrol; Cap and Bucky
easily overcome the enemy troops and they make their way to the top
of the tower where Cap radios for help. The tower on the edge of a
river is surrounded by tanks which open fire, along with strafing
from planes. Cap tells the refugees to jump into the water where they
are quickly rescued by Dum Dum Dugan and the Howling Commandos in a
sub. Cap turns down a ride as he and Bucky gleefully take on the
enemy ….
