The 334th Iinfantry Regiment of the 84th Division searches for snipers, as they pass through the town of Roecke (Röcke), near Hannover, Germany, a month before the end of World War 2, in Europe. (The 334th Regiment later continued their advance to the Elbe River at wittenberge.) Three German civilian women leave their burning house and barn, and cross the road. A German man comes from the backyard and comforts one of the women.
