While fighting the Germans to take a small town, Saunders, Kirby, Caje and Doc sees a young woman listening to music in a flowered garden. Saunders returns and meets the governess Celeste Fourant that explains that the infantile Jeanine is a traumatized women that has lost her parents and family in a bombing. Now she believes that the garden protects her and she will die if she leaves the place. Saunders unsuccessfully tries to persuade Jeanine to flee and even abducts her, but she returns to the garden. Meanwhile the Germans are bombing the place and prepare to take the town back.
"The Battle of the Roses" is a surrealistic episode of "Combat!". The action scenes are impressive but Jeanine is an unrealistic character that spoils the plot. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "A Batalha das Rosas" ("The Battle of the Roses")
