On the Russian front in 1943, decorated leader Rolf Steiner is promoted to Sergeant after a successful mission. However, his success is disrupted by the arrival of arrogant Prussian Captain Hauptmann Stransky, who claims credit for a bloody battle and requests the Iron Cross to satisfy his personal ambition. Despite the bravery of Lieutenant Meyer, who dies in combat, Stransky's actions put Steiner's squad in danger, and tensions rise as they fight to survive.
