The squad takes possession of a small town in <a href="/wiki/Sicily" title="Sicily">Sicily</a>. Craig has to stop his men from looting. Baker strikes up a relationship with Maria, a young mother whose soldier husband is missing. They talk to a <a href="/wiki/Sikh" class="mw-redirect" title="Sikh">Sikh</a> soldier who is lonely and misses his children. </p><p>A diverse group of allied soldiers intermingles in a bar. Four white American soldiers burst in ominously. One of them announces that they are "coon huntin' " tonight and wields a switch blade which he apparently intends to use. Two black American soldiers seated at a table become their focus. Others clear a path as two of the group pounce on the two black soldiers. They are beating the blacks when the MPs (Military Police) enter the bar. The perpetrators flee. Trower goes to help one of the two black soldiers recover, but hides himself instead right before the MPs rush in. The MPs take over asking the woman bar owner if there was any resulting damage. She answers, "Only business." The MPs take the victims out of the bar. The bar owner asks Trower, "Why they fight, you are same peoples, American 'comaradies', why you fight?" He replies,"I really don't know," quickly exiting as the radio plays,"<a href="/wiki/Let%27s_Remember_Pearl_Harbor" class="mw-redirect" title="Let's Remember Pearl Harbor">Let's Remember Pearl Harbor</a>". </p><p>The squad are then sent to France. Craig enters a nice home that might be used by American officers when they enter town. He comes upon the French woman (Jeanne Moreau) who owns the place, and has just survived a night of bombing. He spends the night to comfort the terrified woman. </p><p>The men help liberate a concentration camp. In <a href="/wiki/Ostend" title="Ostend">Ostend</a>, Trower meets Regine, a violinist at a bar, and falls in love with her. He walks her to her hotel and says he'd like to see her next time he's in town. They kiss. The next time he sees her at the bar she's working for a pimp, Eldridge, who tells Trower that she rents by the hour. </p><p>One truckload of GIs is chosen out of a convoy to witness the <a href="/wiki/Execution_by_firing_squad" title="Execution by firing squad">execution by firing squad</a> of a GI deserter in a snow-covered field near a chateau at <a href="/wiki/Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines" title="Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines">Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines</a> on <a href="/wiki/Christmas_Eve" title="Christmas Eve">Christmas Eve</a>. <a href="/wiki/Frank_Sinatra" title="Frank Sinatra">Frank Sinatra</a> sings "<a href="/wiki/Have_Yourself_a_Merry_Little_Christmas" title="Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas">Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas</a>", followed by a chorus of "<a href="/wiki/Hark!_The_Herald_Angels_Sing" title="Hark! The Herald Angels Sing">Hark! The Herald Angels Sing</a>". </p><p>Chase has a relationship with Magda, a Polish woman who suggests he desert and join her in the <a href="/wiki/Black_market" title="Black market">black market</a>. He refuses just as he learns that his unit is marching out of town in the rain. Some of his friends hide his gear under their rain ponchos, and he slips into formation. Back at the front he is wounded in the leg. </p><p>A newcomer to the squad, a misfit named Weaver, adopts a dog even though another man in the unit tells him that it is against regulations. They can't take dogs with them when they redeploy at the front, so they have to shoot them. Weaver feeds the dog anyway, even after the other men kick him and the dog out of the tent. When the unit moves out, one of the other men in the unit, Grogan, tells Weaver to call his dog. Weaver thinks that the others have changed their minds and are letting him bring his dog with them, but Grogan shoots the dog as it runs after the truck. </p><p>When Chase gets out of hospital in England, he is stuck at a bus stop in the rain. A man, Dennis, invites him to have tea with his family. He has a pleasant time, but when he visits Craig in the hospital, he discovers that most of Craig's face has been blown off. Craig screams at him to get out. </p><p>The war in Europe ends. In 1946 Trower is still in the Army and stationed in <a href="/wiki/Berlin" title="Berlin">Berlin</a>. He is in love with Helga, a young German woman who was raped by the Russians during and after the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Berlin" title="Battle of Berlin">Battle of Berlin</a>. Trower brings her parents imported goods from the PX (military Post Exchange) when he visits their apartment, noticing a <a href="/wiki/Mezuzah" title="Mezuzah">mezuzah</a> on the doorway. Helga's sister, Trudi, enters the apartment to the chagrin of her parents. Her current lover, a Russian "commander", has given her an expensive fur coat that she flaunts in front of Helga, their parents, and Trower. She explains to Trower that without the Russian her parents would be living outdoors. He spends the night with Helga; it's her night in the shared bedroom. Trower is returning to his base when he meets a drunken Russian soldier (Albert Finney). He provokes a fight with the Russian, asking how many women he's raped tonight. The two men pull knives and stab each other to death. As the camera pulls back to show seemingly endless ruins, we see that the position of the allied soldiers' bodies suggests the letter 'V' for Victory. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2

The book's presentation is idiosyncratic, as it is both unabashedly a tie-in edition, yet seems to cautiously sidestep labeling itself an adaptation of the script per se (though within Shulman's sensitively internalized retelling, it is quite faithful to the film's dialogue and structure). Both the cover and title page proclaim "Carl Foreman's <i>The Victors</i>" under which the byline is "by Milton Shulman, based on <i>The Human Kind</i> by Alexander Baron." bypassing mention of the actual screenplay. It is unknown whether Dell bid for the publishing rights and commissioned the novelization, or if Foreman engineered its publication. The latter would seem the more likely, given Foreman's possessive over-the-title billing, and that the short story collection providing the source of the screenplay is itself an established work of fiction. What does seem clear is that Baron himself was approached to write the novelization, and that he declined—possibly because, with the Americanization of the characters, he felt the novel's authorship should have a genuinely American voice—but nonetheless wanted to select the author and supervise. That he did so can be extrapolated from the copyright registration: The copyright is assigned to Baron, with a notation that he engaged Shulman to write the book as a <a href="/wiki/Work_for_hire" title="Work for hire">work for hire</a>. The resultant novelization sold well enough to earn at least a second print run, indicated on that identical edition's copyright page, issued in January 1964.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.
