In November 1918, a private, using his trench knife, slays a German soldier, who was approaching with his arms raised and
speaking German. When he returns to his company's headquarters, the private is told that the "war's been over for four hours."
In November 1942, the soldier, now a sergeant in the "Big Red One", leads his squad of infantrymen through North Africa, where
they are initially fired on by a Vichy French general, who is then overpowered by his French troops who are loyal to Free France.
Over the next two years, the squad serves in campaigns in Sicily, where they are given intelligence by a peasant boy, and are
fed by grateful women, Omaha Beach at the start of the Normandy Campaign, the liberation of France where they battle Germans
inside a mental asylum, and the invasion of western Germany. The sergeant's German counterpart, Schroeder, participates in many
of the same battles and displays a ruthless loyalty to Hitler and Germany. At different times, he and the sergeant express the
same sentiment that soldiers are killers, but not murderers.
During the advance across northern France, the squad crosses the same field where the sergeant killed the surrendering German,
where a memorial now stands. The squad's final action in the war is the liberation of Falkenau concentration camp in Czechoslovakia.
Shortly after this, the sergeant is in a forest at night, having just buried a young boy he had befriended earlier after liberating
the camp. Schroeder approaches, attempting to surrender, but the sergeant stabs him. His squad then arrives, and informs him that
the war ended "about four hours ago." This time, as the squad walks away, Pvt. Griff notices that Schroeder is still alive; the
sergeant and his men work frantically to save his life as they return to their encampment.
