Crossroads (E05)

Winters leads a contingent on a risky mission over a Dutch dike that results in a "turkey shoot" of fleeing Germans. Afterwards, Sink promotes him to Battalion Executive Officer, leaving Easy in the hands of Lt. "Moose" Heyliger. As Winters labors over a report on the dike mission, Heyliger leads a rescue of British soldiers escaping from the besieged town of Arnhem. An anxious Winters worries about Easy (now one of three companies he helps command), especially after Heyliger is shot and wounded by a nervous sentry. After moving off the line to France, Nixon insists that Winters take a break and see Paris. Winters is haunted there by the memory of a young German he killed at close range on the dike. As he returns to the Company at Mourmelon, news comes of a massive German counterattack in the Ardennes Forest. Winters helps Easy race there to hold the line, his men ill-equipped for the cold and the battle ahead. (Home Box Office)
