They use the local brothel, run by his girlfriend, as an undercover headquarters. Zeno is ordered to break the prisoners out of their camp and use them to help liberate the town and capture the nearby U-boat refuelling depot. Hecht joins forces with the Allies, helping them eradicate Volkmann's troops.
