Hiking toward Udine, the ambulance drivers Lieutenant Henry, Aymo, Bonello, and Piani spot German soldiers. Aymo is shot to death, presumably by Italians firing in error. Bonello flees, to surrender to the Germans. Finally having crossed the Tagliamento River, Henry observes that Italian officers are being shot by the military police for deserting their troops. He also fears being taken for a German spy. He dives into the river, deserting the Italian army.
