The story

The American 36th Infantry Division is fighting bitterly for every hill in the Allied advance on Rome during the Italian campaign of World War II. After hard combat in the Battle of San Pietro in mid-December 1943, the infantrymen are awarded five days of needed rest. Spurning reverie in town, battle-fatigued sergeant Joe "Pete" Peterson wanders in the night in a cemetery filled with fresh crosses.
