The Medal

Description

Close friends D'Amato (Joseph Campanella) and Wharton (Frank Gorshin) become separated from the rest of the men when the platoon is ambushed by a German tank. D'Amato flanks and captures the armor and turns the machine gun on the supporting German infantry, but is gravely wounded. When the rest of the platoon reaches the position, it appears that Wharton single-handedly captured the German armor.
