A group of US, Czech, Russian, Yugoslav prisoners of war standing together along with the liberating 14th U.S. Armored Division soldiers. Two prisoners talk to each other. The prisoners cheering, waving and laughing. Two prisoners walk down the road smiling; one waving a copy of Yank Magazine, the other a chunk of bread. U.S. Amry M-4 tank crashes through barbed wire fence of Camp Hammelburg. A group of freed prisoners gathers. Several prisoners stand and pose. Mass gathering of elated former prisoners.

(Note: This was the conclusion of the originally failed "Operation Hammelburg", initially attempted by "Task Force Baum," under Captain Abraham Baum, ten days prior. Inmates at the camp included the recently injured and captured Captain Baum, and Lieutenant Colonel John K. Waters, son in law of U.S. Army General George Patton. LTC John Waters was injured during the initial rescue attempt 10 days prior and was hospitalized and not seen in this film.)
