Battlefields #4

Disregarding her orders, Abba Kharkova leads Mouse (now a pilot herself) on an attack far behind German lines. When her engine dies she is shot down, gravely wounded, and dumped into a P.O.W. camp. Flight-Lieutenant Cohen, P.O.W. and former medical student, saves her life and sets her on the road to recovery. When the Germans massacre the Russian prisoners, he sacrifices himself to shield her. When Russian tanks arrive she assumes she is liberated, but instead she is beaten and imprisoned, on Stalin's orders that anyone taken captive is a traitor.
