The Rats are 50km away from El Jebel, the home base for a British traitor known as "Colonel Windsor" (Michael Evans), who broadcasts pro-Nazi propaganda meant to demoralize American soldiers; his show can be easily be heard throughout the area. Creator/TheBBC monitors his program, so Troy comes up with a plan: take over Windsor's studio and use it to convey their message. The Rats enter El Jebel, locate Windsor's radio station, sneak past a secretary and some German soldiers who are playing cards, and break into the studio mere minutes before the turncoat is about to start broadcasting. But just as the Rats are letting Windsor know what they think of him, Dietrich and his troops show up! He masterminded this EvilPlan to both capture the Rats and prevent them from sending their vital message.
