Overview
The Rat Patrol gets itself captured as a prequel to capturing Africa Korps General Ernest von Helmreich. They plan to use the general to infiltrate and destroy a heavily guarded German ammunition depot to stop an upcoming attack. However, the general manages to attract the attention of a distant Nazi search party, and the Rat Patrol ends up trapped in a ravine, cut off by Capt. Dietrich's mobile squad. They construct a "fake panzer unit" of their own to escape, tricking the Germans into a retreat. They then make it to the largest of the Germans' ammo dumps and blow it.
