A soldier climbs the shear face of a massive Nazi cathedral tower thats almost completely buried under a glacier. Hanging from his belt is a ticking bundle of dynamite, hoping to plant this last bomb before he's caught. A soldier appears and sprays gunfire at him as he clings to the stonework. He talks to the German in American as he aims his luger. Seeing his one chance he kicks loose stonework below the buttress the soldier is stood on, making the whole floor collapse.
Moments later the face is strafed by an airplane. The soldier reaches for the fallen Nazi's machine gun. He fires on the plane and takes it down but looses his grip and as he falls he laments how he could have ended up in this situation.
