Synopsis for "Blast the Beasts and Children"

A group of starving Nazi soldiers wander to a small farmhouse on the border of France near Germany. They intrude on their dinner but are quickly talked into reason and to behave themselves. They go off to shower and shave while Kelly's squad is also approaching the same farmhouse. His group investigates and finds the soldiers eating with the family.

Kelly and his men head inside where a small shootout occurs thanks in no small part to Ace's bloodlust. No one is killed and one of the residents Erika is able to calm the men with a gun of her own. The Nun informs the soldiers that she is watching over a group of children after their parents were taken away for being German Jews by the Nazi soldiers while the two boys she is watching were found wandering the fields near the farmhouse. The Nazi soldiers decide to surrender to Kelly's men and they agree to stay at the farmhouse with no guns in their possession. Ace does not agree with this decision but goes along with it. During the night Kelly talks with the Nazi Captain and how they're both over the war and how the Captain now regrets taking part in some of the deeds the Nazi's have done. Soon after a scream is heard from the girl's upstairs room.

Upon approaching the room Ace has already made his way there and is cornering a Nazi soldier who intended to rape Erika before being sent to a prison camp. Ace wants to kill him and even the Nazi Captain is encouraging him to do so. Meanwhile the intended victim Erika is arguing for there to not be any bloodshed. Sister Angelique the owner of the farm enters the room wielding a gun but to late to save the Nazi soldier for Ace stabbed him to death. She orders the soldiers to leave and that she'll bring violence of her own if they do not. Kelly says maybe they all deserve it and the sister breaks down crying. She realized that tense situations can drive anyone to violence and gives the soldiers back their guns and they all leave peacefully with the Nazis as their prisoners.
